EASY TO GET COCAINE
HERE IN AMERICUS
Deadly Drug is SurFGptitiOUSIy
Sold Here

Americas cocaine users or dope
dippers," as they are generally call
ed, continue in some unaccountablo
way to secure as much of the deadly
drug as they desire, despite the fact
that its sale is prohibited, except ual
der stringent regulations, and that
violators of the law are subject to
imprisonment.
But dope" is being sold surrep-
tiously here, Notwithstanding, and
officers are upon the alert and closely
watching two suspected white men in
al effort to secure evidence.
Proof of the fact that dope is be-
ing dealt out here is had in the COM
mitment of two people to the insane
asylum quite recently. They went
the dope route, all right, and it is
said that fully a dozen others are
happy on the way.
Negroes are the chief consumers,
although the fact is known that sew
eral white people here dope as well.
These unfortunates are generally
known and when they have an I'M
comfortable desire to steam up or get
drunk on opium they hunt up the
dope bootlegger and buy the stagger
gum.
Quite recently, as stated, Judge
Cobb has committed to the state asy-
lum two "dopers.' And there will
be others.
Quite recently a Savannah doctor
was fined 81 900 in the court there for
peddling dope, and if the parties here
who thus violate the law are detect
ed therein they will be up against it.

Savannah Morning NewsD

Regardless of what the future brings
forth, there is no comparison between
the Savannah club as it stands to-day
and the one which was representing
this city at this time last year.
On May ?, 1910, the local club was
hopelessly last, with but three victor
les out of eighteen games. AT the pres
ent time it is we'll up among the lead
ers and is being looked upon, at least
by the fans here, as one of three con-
tenders for the 1911 flag, Macon and
Columbus being the other clubs which
are favored for top berths. Not even
the present jacksonville club, which is
trailing the others and has shown few
slgns of improvement, looms up as poor
as was the aggregation with which
Manager Magoon went through the
month of April last season.
Having gotten away to as good a
start as any of the other clubs in the
circuit, it seems that Savannah will It

MANY CRATES OF PEACHES
NOW MOVING TO MARKET
Early Varieties Being Shipped From
Georgia Orchards.

While Americus orchards here pro-
duced a few ripe peaches of the ex-
ira early varieties, there have been
no shipments of the fruit from this
point, nor is there likely to be any
made for several weeks longer.
Up at Fort Valley and Marshallville
the little peachlets are being fired to-
wards Yankeedom right along.
A dozen crates We're shipped the
past week to Northern markets, quite
a week in advance of the first ship
ments last season 1t is said that
excellent prices will be realized from
these shipments.
Americas orchards will produce
thirty carloads, altogether this year,
against nearly 500 carloads that rip
ened last season, half of which were
gathered.

MOOSE HUNT
In New Brunswick is Inter

Local Dentist.
(By W. II. Hill, dentist,

While canoeing down McKeel Lake,
y. B., October I, on my third day in
the woods my guide, Albert Logan,
espied COW moose in the distance
at the edge of the water. and after
approaching closer we observed a
bull moose in the brush near by, and
at the unexpected command fire" |
began a bombardment with my 81
automatic at his broad sides; ana
after emptying my artillery at him
he disappeared. After that we landed
and passing through narrow strip
of woods that skirted the lake we saw
our quarry headed across the bog
about 200 yards away, where-upou
the attack was renewed, firing as we
ran till he lay down and took rest,
after which he got up and headed to-
ward us as If to make charge. We
were now within sixty yards of him
when | took careful aim and fired my
last bullet at his shoulder, but he ap-
parently paid no attention to small
things like that; then we began a.
hasty retreat for the tall timber,
having the double fear that l would
not get my moose and that the moose
would get me, but moment later my
guide looked back over his shoulder
and impaired the joyful tidings hes
down We then approached him
carefully and found him to have 4
fine spread of horns, measuring fifty
three inches. The moose's head is
now being mounted by a taxidermist
in Maine.

Ratiel Willis, of Hampshire county,
w. Va, may gain his freedom as a
result of his notifying the sheriff
here and preventing the consmma-
ton of bold plan of twenty pris-
oners in the prison to escape. Willis
was held for sending a threatening
letter through the mail, the jury
having once disagreed in his case.
He heard of the plan of the other
prisoners to escape and told the
sheriff that twenty had planned to
get away. All were under sentence
to the penitentiary or reformatory.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the bars had been sawed and within
an haur wholesale delivery would
have taken place.
Two prisoners are under peniten-
tiary sentence. Strangers who came
here during the fair week and got
into trouble had fashioned saw
out of a spring taken from one OF
their shoes. With this the bars wero
cut. The cages and cells were just
recently installed and were guaran-
teea break-proof, hut one of the
men, stephen Kenan, says he can

cause all manner OF trouble. This
obstruction and freezing, naturally
leads q drips in the line. This
