The Rev. Mr.. Swetkerath said it

VIM Gold ia a Precious Metal,

Pure or fine gold will stand any test
It may be put to in comparison with
other metals. 1t can be rolled or ham
mered, extending it In any direction,
until 1t becomes transparent. 1t can
also be drawn into thread as fine as
human hair. 1t melts at about 1000
degrees r., and, though It may be kept
In a molten state for an indefinite
time, 1t loses none Of its weight even
should the heat be increased. The col
or is unaffected by air, water or heat
and will stand any lest Of oxidation.
No simple acid will dissolve or attack
pure gold. In conjunction with silver
gold is the first metal with which man
became acquainted and is the most
valuable by reason of the vast number
of uses TO which 1t is put. II is found
in almost every country in n metallic

Been Cleared

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 11-Rev. John
S. Wilder, pastor of the Duffy Street
Baptist Church and friend and spirit
ual adviser of J. c. Hunter, in Jail
under a suspended death sentence
through the generosity of Governor
Brown, has returned from Atlanta
after a short conference with Gov
ernor Smith rgarding Hunters case.
He is very much encouraged after his
talk with the governor. Hunter is
to be hanged in October unless there
is some further action by the eXecu-
tive and Governor Smith told M
Wilder he should not be hanged as
long as there was any doubt as 70
his guilt. He said further that if the
evidence in any future trials in con-
nection with the murders for which
Hunter has been convicted show that
Hunter did not have anything to do
with the commission of the deed that
he would be granted a full pardon.
The governor suggested that Mr..
Wilder and the friends of Hunter ad-
wise him when the time now set fO2
Hunters execution approaches SO
that he could be prepared to act upon
the request for clemency.

Washington, August 11.-GeOrge w.
Perkins, the New York ffnancier, sug-
gested to the house steel corporation
committee of inquiry today that a
government commission which would
insure focusing the Iimelight of pub
licity on the business affairs of great
corporations would do much to eradi-
cate present day trust evils and pre-
serve their virtues.
Following Mr.. Perkins suggestion,
Representative Littleton of New York,
announced that a resolution soon
would be introduced in congress pro-
viding for a thorough investigation Of
the industrial situation OF the coun-
try.
Il am advised" said Mr.. Littleton,
that there is to be a thorough in
quiry into all the commercial ills Of
the nation and that a conference will
be called to determine the problem of
how to deal with the industrial stu
alton in America. 1t is project that
will involve a most drastic investi-
cation and bring together capital and
labor in an effort without bias to find
out just what should be done"
That is the best news 1 have
heard" said Mr.. Perkins.

CITY TO HAVE
new HOSPITAL
At EARLY DATE
WORK WILL BEGIN soon
Building viii Have Complete
Modern Equipment

With plans outlined for the accom-
plishment OF their wOrk-the build>
ing of a moder nand fully equipped
hospital for the city and county, the
ladies of the Americus Hospital Asso-
citation will soon launch a campaign
for funds which will insure the ulu-
mate attainment of an object so long
cherished.
They are at work even now; in
fact, they are at work all the time,
increasingly, and with zeal that can
not fail of accomplishment.
At the informal meeting held a day
or two since and attended by several
ladies of the hospital board, physi-
clans and friends of the enterprise,
ways and means We're discussed for
providing funds for the erection Of
the modern building upon the lot out
on the Southside, already bought and
paid for.
The ladies are assured many cash
contributions already towards their
building fund, and will devise plans
for raising additional amounts ere the
first brick is laid.
The present hospital property is
easily worth $500, and the Hospital
Association thus has that amount,
and gift of $4,000, as a nucleus.
Other wealthy friends of the institu-
ton, it is fully expected, will give
$500 to $1,000 thereto.
Within two or three weeks the cam
.paign for raising funds by popular
subs -ription will be actively begun,
when every man, woman and child in
the city is expected to help as best
they can, from the penny of the little
tot to the bank roll of the opulent
ones. Everybody is expected to help
them.
The city will be divided into dis
tricts and wards for the canvassers,
and the work will be done as thor
oughly as though the census of Amer
icus was once more being taken.
In this way, and in others under
consideration, the full amount of the
building fund will be raised.
The Hospital Association, as is
known, purchased six months ago a
vacant lot out near the former Burke
place, where Mr.. T. F. Gatewood now
resides, and here the modern and
well equipped building will be erect
ed. 1t will be such an institution as
Americus and this entire section
needs.
The ladies of the Hospital Board are
determined in this great work, and its
ere another summer
is as good as assured

AGREEMENT To
BE REACHED
On WOOL BILL
SCHEDULES FULLY DISCUSSED
Joint Committee Agreed On
Satisfactory Basis

Washington, August. 1.-THE full
house and senate conference commit
mittee on the wool tariff revision bill
today agreed on a fiat rate of 80 par
cent on raw wool. The committee
also agreed on the house classifica-
ton of wool The agreement on
these two points seemed to remove
the greatest obstacle in the way of
final agreement which it was said
might be reached today.
As agreed on the classification pro-
vision of the bill reads as follows:
"On wool of the sheep, hair of the
camel, goat, alpaca and other like
animals, duty shall be 30 per cent ad
yalorem"
The LaFollette bill called for two
classes of wool-wool and hair on
the skin being in second class
whereas the house provision, accept
ed by the conference, provides for but
one class for all wools. Under the
compromise the second senate class
of wools fixed in the senate bill at 10
per cent is thus increased to 20 per
cent. These are the coarser wools
The senate on first class woods was 30
per cent and the house rate 20 per
cent.
