But we hadn't thought any more
about the matter when he called yes
terday again. In the course OF an ap-
parently casual conversation he said
Young man, you didn't promise me
to leave out that story about the
Loafer in the future. l merely want
to say that my woman is on to you.
She doesn't like the title you have
thrust on to me and she says that ii
you ever refer to me as loafer again
she will stop your wrag called q
paper and she will come over here
and break every bone in your body
and l believe, sir. that she will m
deavor to do it,"
Our collector says that he toe be-
lieves she will do it.
do anything. say anything" he
added, "call me anything you like,
call me Boggs If you must, but don't,
please don't put any more stories in
under the head of Loafer or it will
make trouble in my peaceful and
happy little home.v
Now how could you resist a
straight, forward appeal like that?
We can't do anything but respect It.
We don't mind the loss of a sub
scriber-we don't like the threat
but We don't mind 1t half as much as
we shrink from any alteration with
woman. The woman's polite bur
emphatic request shall be cheerfuily
granted-and we apologize in ad-
vance for our errors in the past

Mr.. BOGGS

He came in the other day in {
rather business like sort of way. He
was meek enough but good natured
He didn't say word about his ''wo-
man" that day and didn't refer to the
matter at all.
He did say however, that he didn't
like to be called loafer. He says he
don't mind the young men about the
office working off a little chaff 'as
you cali it" now and then but says
he in his own words "if you don't
stop calling me loafer I'll thump
somebody till he's black and blue, II
I am twice your age"
That didn't scare u.s. We know
more about him than we did a while
back. We don't believe he would
thump anybody. We are not afraid Of
him any more We are afraid of no
man who lets a woman run him.
We did talk about it in the office
and some one suggested, Call him
Mr. Brackets" That's the way they
speak of him about The Record Of
flee sometimes because he has very
frequent way of saying "by way of &
parenthesis might state" and then he
inserts in his story some observation
entirely foreign to the subject It's al
ways "by way of parenthesis."
One day he called when the men
were all out and the stenographer put
a card on the desk reading merely,
"Mr } called" 1t was understood

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
A NEAT PUBLICATION
Has Just Been Issued From
the Press

Before the opening registration be-
gan at the public schools, Superinten-
dent Miller had issued from the press
a neat and attractive annual report of
the city schools for the year 1911. The
recent report has been prepared in eX-
cellent manner as regards conciseness
and general attractiveness.
The general directory Of the schools
furnishes this valuable information
concisely in the first few pages of the
report. A memorial tribute to the late
G. w. Glover, with an excellent half
tone likeness, prefaces the report, Civ
ing the booklet an element of more
than passing value. The excellent
year enjoyed by the schools during the
last two termc is reviewed by Captain
John A. Cobb, president of the board
of education, and more fully and in de-
tail by Superindent Miller.
The report is embellished by the nu-
merous cuts of buildings and other
scenes of interest in such a booklet, the
entire contents being arranged with a
view toward expressing all facts of a
terest with reference to the schools as
these should be prepared for presen-
tation to the general reader as well as
those especially interested in the
schools. The report is neat summary
of evidence that Americus has pub
lie school system unsurpassed by that
of any city in the state of similar
size.

Destructive CYCLONE
SWEPT over ILLINOIS
Losses Estimated at Many
Millions

Chicago, Sept. 13-Houses were
wrecked, trees uprooted and tossed for
yards and mile upon mile of telegraph
and telephone wires twisted and torn
to the ground by a terrific cyclone
which struck central Illinois early TO-
day.
Chicago felt the outskirts of the
the blow and a big rain storm broke
here shortly after o'clock.
Rain fell in great sheets accompany,
ing the cyclone and reports from
Springfield and Bloomington indicate
that the damage was general and thai
losses will reach into the millions
Frustrated wires prevented commu
nication with farming districts anC
smaller towns where the damage is
believed to have been the greatest
No loss of life so far has been re-
ported, but it is feared many persons
were caught in the collapse of theil
homes while they were in bed.
Chaos reigned in Springfield ant
Bloomington where scores of dwellings
were wrecked.

HARRY JACOBS IS STILL
CONFINED TO HOSPITAL
Nav Return to AmeriCuS a
Week Hence

Much regret was expressed yesterday
among the many friends of Harry ia
cobs when they read the Times Re
cormders story of his serious acci-
dent in Atlanta, resulting in a frac-
tured thigh. The injury will keep
him confined to the hospital there for
week or ten days at the earliest, and
then he would have to be brought home
on stretcher.
The chances are that he will remain
there much longer, or until the fraC-
tured limb more fully heals. He is at
the Elkin-Goldsmith Hospital.
Mr.. Jacobs drove to Atlanta several
days ago in his Mitchell car, which
was stored in the garage. Tuesday
morning he was going to take the car,
which was facing the brick wall Of
the building, from the shop.
In some way the clutch had been
thrown out, so when Mr.. jacobs
cranked the machine, it suddenT ystart
ed at a terrific speed. Before tvs ow'r
er had time to jump out of the way.
the driverless automobile had 1ammeG
him against the wall, the force of the
blow breaking his leg. An employe
of the garage quickly jumped into the
car and reversed the power.
Mr. Jacobs, badly crushed, fefi imply
to the floor of the garage.
H. NJ Patterson G. Sons new auto
ambulance was hastily called and the
injured automobilist rushed to tie hos
pitaI, where it developed that the only
serious injury is the broken leg.

AUGUST WEATHER WAS
NOT AT ALL UNUSUAL
September Heat Is Close Sec.
Ond Even Now

August weather, though it did not
give a maximum temperature during
the entire month more than one de-

istered thus far in September, was
rather notable for the large number
of days-more than fifty per cent-On
which the mercury landed at least as
high as the ninety mark.
There was a representative rainfall
for the month, though nothing that
went anywhere near a record, as only
7.04 inches of rain were indicated.
This is anything but a large rainfall
for August, which is usually regarded
as the wettest month of the year. The
minimum temperature registered was

from the maximum that was handed
