Row TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
II IS an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess of uric ACID
IN the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered g
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested ir
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be
lieve it will cure you. ''Rheumacidt

The North Carolina cotton manu-
facturers held conference at Greens
boro one day last week, and after
much discussion declared for one
third reduction Of yarns and cloths,
between May LIST and September LIST
of this year. A resolution passed
calls upon all the mills in the South
to cooperate by the adoption Of q
similar rate of curtailment. There
were representative from Is cotton
mills present. It is easily seen that
a reduction of output means less
work for the people who make the
goods. and at the present high cost
of living, it is a pretty serious ques-
ton as to how they will manage to
exist when the reduction is put in
force. 1t makes us feel that the work
ing man catches it on every hand.

POLITICS AND THE SHEMWELL
CASE.

We reproduce with pleasure the
following editorial from the Raleigh
Evening Times, of receut date. 1t
clears up a point that the people have
been much concerned about and
states the truth of the matter. The
Times says
"A number Of newspapers, either
explicitly or by innuendo, having
charged that there was politics. in
the governors communication Of Shem-
wells sentence. While the wisest
politicians could not figure out how
this could be, in view of the fact that
Shemwell's county is, we regret to
say, republican, unless it was in the
interest of the democratic party, and
this could not be since the governor
we'll knew the act would be very I'M
popular. But the mystery of the
charge appealed to the animated and
they were duly impressed.
MEN have talked under their
breath about this mysterious politi-
cal influence on the governor, until
it has finally leaked out what it was.
1t is said that Dermott Shemwell, the
son, was a young man of considera-
BILE means and many friends, and
that he had been exceedingly active
and strong in his support of the gov
ernor in the primary for the nomina-
ton. In short, the governor robbed
the Jail and debauched justice to pay
a political debt. Now what do you
think of that?
with this as text, whole col
ums might be written on official eth.
les, the sanctity of justice, and so on
except for the fact that there is ne
truth in the charge. A gentleman
who had heard the charge went t.
the governor the other day and ask
ed if it were true that Shemwell wa
an active and valuable supporter 0:
his in the primary. The governor
told him that he really did not know
that it had never occurred to him t.
inquire, but that he would inquir,
and let him know. Upon inquiry h
learned that Shemwell was not sup
porter of his, but was a pronounced
supporter of that excellent gentle
man, the Hon. Ashley Horne. AS
matter of justice, we feel that tn
public should know the truth"

PUTTING UP FRUIT AND
SHIPPING OF PEACHES
Presents a Busy Scene at
Ware Orchard.
Will Put Up a Quarter
Million Cans This
Season.

Nesting in the midst of an immense
orchard of one hundred thousand pro
life and overburdened peach trees, the
canning ant Of the Ware-Progress
Orchard Co tere is cne Of the busiest
places about Americus, and the out
put means great revenue and profit to
its enterDrising owners.
Peaches to right of them; peaches
left Of them, in front-on every hand
prodigal waste of the most beauti-
full peaches.
But the fine fruit is not wasted; not
bit of it, as the company has fully
provided tie means Of handI ng prof
itably the finest crop ever produced
there.
Just now The Carmens are at their
best, and the pickers and packers are
busy Grating and shipping this superb
fruit. Five car loads made up the
shipments to yesterday evening, all 10
northern and eastern points.
But it is the canning plant that az
tracts greatest attention Just now, and
acre a revelation greets the visitor to
the orchards.
While Mr.. Ware, son of the late Col
C. F. Ware, who established this great
enterprise here, ana Mr.. James L..
GIawson, the company's very capable
superintendent. give the business gen.
eral supervision, Mrs. c. + Ware, Of
Dayton, Ohio, is the presiding genius
in the cannery department.
A woman of charm ng and engaging
personality. she is business to the core,
and every department of the extensive
plant is under her personal super
vision
Mrs. Ware understands every detail
of the fruit canning business from the
slicing of the fruit until it is sealed
in the best san tary cans, thus insr-
ing absolute purity and excellence
And the premises are in thorough
keeping with this established rule.
The company is now putting up six
'een thousand three-pound cans daily
and THE output for the season VIII
probably exceed a quarter of a million
cans. This superior fruit is shipp ID
to Dayton, OhiS, and other points
west, where it commands the high
est prices.
While the Carmen peaches are az
fording all the material required just
now, the Ware plant will be at its
busiest when the Ebertas ripen two
weeks hence.

t FARMERS ASK HELP AT

Want Financial Aid for
State Fair.

Macon, Ga, June 21.-TEe State
Agricultural SociaN, composed of the
prominent farmer&of the state, will
petition the coming session of the leg
islature for an annual appropriat on
for the Georgia State Fair, which IS
held in Macon every year under the
auspices of the Agricultural Society.
AS the fair is distinctly a state affair,
it is believed in many quarters that
the proposition will be looked upon
with favor, aud that an annual appr0-
priation will be made In several
states large appropriations are made
by the legislatures to support state
fairs and the members of the society
who with. the Macon Georgia State
Fair Assoc alton put on the state fairs
in Macon every year, can see no rea-
son why the Georgia legislature should
not do the same thing. The fair this
year will be held October 26 to Noyem-
ber 6.

THEY GAME, THEY SAW,
THEY WERE CHARMED
Worth Citizens Take Spin
Over Roads.
Went Back Home De-
termined to Work for
Fine Highways.

The Sylvester party struck Amercus
just in time. They had only com
pleted half hour run around some CT
he county roads and reached the
garage when the big rain storm set in
yesterday afternoon. AS it was, they
Sor taste of Sunter's good roads and
yearned for more. But they yearned
even more for the Introduction of
similar highways in their home county,
Worth.
In the party were County Commits
sfoners Chapman, Thornhill, Young,
Haines and Clerk Grubb, and some fif-
teen or more other leading cit zens of
that enterprising Southwest Georgia
town.
The party travelled in half dozen
autos and came for the specific pur-
pose of seeing what Sumter's much
praised roads are really like. They
came after Sumter had had ten days
of rain, with no opportunity to do any
repair work on the roads. They saw
them after severe test of bad weather
and they pronounced them as fine as
silk, the best ever, and everything
that could be asked for in the shape of
public highway.
Cha rman Frank Sheffield and other
citizens met the visitors, who arrived
just at dinner time. 1t was a quarter
to three when the party, escorted by
several Americus autos, left Ryland-
er's garage and it was 3:15 when they
reached it on the return, having run
over some fifteen or twenty miles of
good roads, making yhe belt around
Barlow Councils home and getting
taste of several highways in the near
vicinity of the city.
The visitors were loud in their
praises. With one accord they ex-
pressed their pleasure and apprecia-
ion of what Sumter is doing in the
road line. 1t was felt that with can
able superintendent and proper sup
port from the of1ic ais and the public
Worth county ought to have just as
fine roads as Sumter. The party went
back home thoroughly enthused and
determined to work harder than ever
before for system of fine highways
in the country round about Sylves-
ter.
Sylvester lies about twenty miles
southeast of Albany. The visitors all
told the same story of too much rain,
Of grass ridden fields and of an OUT
look for the hardest sort of work to
redeem the crops from comparative
failure, once the rains cease. Lands
down there, as everywhere in the
southern part of Georgia, are steadily
advancing in value and the outlook
was regarded as bright for the future
development of the county.

FATHERS NOW JOIN
MOTHERS IN FIGHT
For Lady Teacher in the
High School.
Petition and Counter
Petition is the Order
of the Day.


The question as to whether the
teaching force of the Americus High
School shall be all men or whether ii
shall include at least one woman, Is
still undecided.
1t is true the Board of Education
by a majority vote of its members, has
refused to grant the request of the
mothers of the girls attending the
High School, that one lady, at least
be engaged as a teacher there.
But the mothers, far from acknowl-
edging that their case is hopeless, be-
cause the Board las turned down their
petition, are now securing the sigma
lures of their husbands and others.
The great majority of fathers Gf
g rls in the High School, it is under
stood, have now signed a petition
similar to that signed by the mothers,
requesting that there be at least one
lady in the teaching corps of that in
sttution.
Thus reinforced, the petition viii
again go to the Board of Education.
1t s thought that with the fathers
who have votes and political innu-
ence at work, the Board OF Education
may see fit to reconsider their former
decision.
That, at least, is the view that some
of the mothers take of the outlook
They will not give up the fight for a
lady teacher until the last ditch ha
been reached.
1t is understood that many mothers
whose girls are not yet n the High
School, but who are in the upper
grades OF the grammar school, are also
willing to petition for lady teacher in
the Hight School, and that probably
the fathers of these girls would also
if asked, add their remonstrances to
the plan for an entire male teaching
corps
But the contest is not a one-sided
one. 1t is rumored that a prominent
member of the Board of Education s
visiting the mothers of girls in the
High School to secure their signatures
to a petition on the other side, set
ting forth that their views have
changed or something to that effect
1t is understood that several moth
ers have been seen, either to S 'gn such
a petition, or to ascertain exactly wha,
their views are in the matter.
Judging from the present prospects,
the matter will be up again at tile
next meeting, at which time the petit
TONERS may have a large committee
present to give vo ce to their senti-
ments, in addition to presenting the
petition of the fathers for the en-
ployment of a lady teacher.
