help NEEDED
TO RAISE The
HOSPITAL FUND
CAMPAIGN NOW Being WAGED
Earnest Support Of Public is
Asked in the Work

Systematically and thoroughly the
entire city is being canvassed for the
purpose of raising funds for the build
ing of the new hospital.
The ladies of the hospital associa-
tion who are serving on the commit
tee that is soliciting the funds for the
hospital are laboring faithfully to
raise the amount that is needed 20
complete the work of building. A
report on the results of this work
will be made at the meeting of the
association to be held next Tuesday
afternoon.
1t may be said, however, in advance
that the canvassers have met with
much encouragement since they began
their work Subscriptions are being
gained daily, but there is still large
sum to be raised by this method The
responses received have been encour-
aging and generous, but there are
some who have not subscribed to the
fund even to a small extent.
In this particular, the ladies wish
to impress upon the people of the
city that every contribution, no matter
how small, is cheerfully received. The
hospital is a public institution in the
broadest sense of the word, so that
the moral as we'll as the financial sup
port of every citizen and resident is
desired. Contributions, though small,
will serve, nevertheless, as tangible
expression of the interest of those
who give them, so that the monetary
support is only a small part of the
general sentiment of helpfulness that
is gained in this way.
All the work of raising tCe funds
needed to make the total Of $4,000,
which has been estimated as the final
cost of the hospital building and
equipment, has been mapped out. AS
there is much work to be done in car
rying out the plans for the raising of
the necessary funds, this entire work
has been carefully sub-divided so that
it ray be taken up in thorough sys;'
matte manner, thereby making 1t as
light as possible on each individual
worker ana also making it possihl1
to be ca,lied out more quickly and
effectively.
The hearty cooperation of the peo-
pla of the city is asked for the carry
ing cut of this work. There is much
work 10 be done, and the very nature
o. the work makes it tedious and Id
uous in the extreme. The more gen
er)us the responses received to the
requests for subscriptions, the more
will the arduous work devolving upan
the ladies be reduced.
The work of collecting the subscrl1-
| tions will e continued with unrcmit-
ting zeal by the members of the coc!-
mittce rSul the desired amount mas
been raised

and bangles in GIN
Fearful Accident on Sumter
Plantation

His left arm completely severed and
left dangling from the blood-stained
saws, Mr.. James Hutto is the vic
tim of the most. serious accident of the
cotton ginning season. MIR. Hutto was
operating a gin on the Methvin farm,
east of Americus, yesterday, when his
left arm was caught in the machin-
cry and horribly mangled by the saws,
which cut it into ribbons. By super
human effort Mr. Hutto pulled himself
from the gin, leaving the severed arm
hanging from the saws. 'He will re-
cover, although his condition is quite
serious.

WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN HAS
PASSED Away
Mr.. SCARBOROUGH is DEAD
Was Prominent Attorney and
Formerly Postmaster

After a lingering illness, Mr.. John
n. Scarborough, ore of the best known
citizens of Americus, passed away
a few minutes after Z o'clock last eve
ming at his residence on Church street.
As he had been desperately i'll for
some time, his death was not unexpec-
ted.
The funeral services will be con,
Quoted this afternoon at $3.50 O'clock
from the residence, Rev. o. B. Ches-
ter, pastor of the First Methodist
Church officiating. The following gen
tlemen are requested to act as pail
bearers: Messrs. ]. E. Sheppard, ]. E.
D. Shipp, H. E. Allen, Robert l. May
nard, Carr Glover, J. R. Williams,
Sam R. Heys and D. F. Davenport. Mr..
Scarborough was a member of NJ 3.
Council Lodge of Masons, and Ma
sonic honors will be part of the fun
eral exercises. The interment will oc-
cur at Oakgrove Cemetery.
Born near Ellaville on June T.
1S49, Mr.. Scarborough spent the ear
lier years of his life in Schley county.
He was admitted to the bar at Ella
Vile and practiced law in that place
for a number of years. He served
in the state legislature for several
terms.
Later he was married to Mrs. Ella
Amos, and soon afterward moved to
Americus to take up the practice of
law here. For number of years he
was a prominent and successful at
torney at the local bar. He was
appointed postmaster under the first
administration of President Grover
Cleveland. He served in this capacity
throughout Cleveland's entire first ad-
ministration, having retired from the
office on account of his declining
health. He passed away at the ripe
age of 81 years.
At the time of his retirement from
business first appeared the symptoms
of the malady that caused his death.
Though a man of splendid physique,
his strength was slowly exhausted
by the inroads of disease until he was
but shadow of his former self. In
search of relief he spent the greater
part of the present summer at the
home of his daughter in Gainesville,
but he returned home some time ago
only to fall ill for the last time.
For years he has borne the intense
suffering to which he was subjected
with the bravery and fortitude of that
true manliness and Christian spirit
which made host of friends for him
wherever he lived. 1t was this splen-
did faith that supported him during
MS last hours, through Whlch ne was
nursed with unceasing devotion by his
wife and daughters.
Among the relatives who survive
him in the immediate family are his
widow, Mrs. J. ~ Scarborough; two
daughters, Mrs. Will Green Turpin, or
Americus, and Mrs. Harry Jarrard, of
Gainesville; one son, Mr.. Robin Scar
] borough, of Hawkinsville, and step
daughter Mrs. Will c. Carter, of Amer
icus. He also leaves one brother, Mr.
H. F. Scarborough, of DeSoto.
Both in Americus and Ellaville, as
well as in other sections of the state
i are a host of his friends, who VIII
mourn his death.

ton, who has supervision of these
sporting events.
Tho schedule has been so arranged
that each of the four teams that COM
pose the league will meet every Fri
day night while the season lasts. The
fur teams that are members of the
league are the Americus Light Infan-
try, the Y. M C. A, the High
School and the Agricultural College
teams.
On account of the fact that there
w;ll be two games played each Fri
daJ night every possible element of
interest that can we'll be thrown into
the games will be manifested each
time. In this way interest in the games
should be kept at the very highest
pitch at all times. 1t has been arrang-
ed so that two of the opposing teams
will play the first half of their game
and then be followed by the other two
teams in the first half of their game,
so that the two games will be played
The schedule arranged for the series,
so far as it has been planned, is rs
follows:
Friday Night, Oct. 6.
Americus Light Infantry-Agricul-
tural College.
High SchOol-Y. M. c. A.

Friday Night. October 90.

Agricultural College-Y. M. c. A. y
Americus Light Infantry-High

In case the interest in the games
among the teams of the league warrants
it, the schedule will be heightened. 1t
is also planned to have visiting teams
here for games with the picked team
that is to represent the Y. M. c. A.
and which will be made up of men Sc
lected from all the teams in the league.
The Y M. c. A. team should in this
way have the best team that it has
ever put into the field to fight for hon
ors on the basketball court.
A large attendance is expected to
be present at the games tomorrow
night, which will open the season.
There will be no admission charged,
so that every one who can attend is
urged to do so Basket ball bids fair
to be the most popular sport here this
season, if present indications are to
taken as sufficient proof.

Up on the Front Line.

Up on the Front Line.
Cow peas and soy beans are now
selling at $3.50 per bushel for the
preferred varieties. By the use of a
little brain power, along with i'm
proved implements, there is more
profit in growing these crops than
any at this time; besides, these crops
always improve the land. Use a COM
bined one-horse grain planter with
fertilizer attachment, and plant one
row beans or peas between rows OF
corn. When the corn is near bunch
ing for the tassel is about the right
time to plant the Unknown pea.
Put in about $50 pounds acid phos-
phate to the acre when planting;
stride the peas once or twice with
spring-tooth harrow or double-foot
cultivator running shallow. This
late shallow ploughing will help corn
and the legume crop of grain will be
almost clear profit. The same ma
chine above mentioned with small
plows on will also plant stubble land
in peas at one-fourth the cost of sin
gle plow work. Use more brain
power in all farm work by institut-
ing improved methods and better i'm
plements.
SWEET POTATOES.
Prepare a nice piece of land after
small grain and plant potato vines
cut from first settings. These vine
cuttings not only make the sr1ooth-
est potatoes but also dodge the dis
eases to potatoes by using the vine
and planting and banking on lands
not infested with these destructive
diseases.
SIDE APPLICATION OF FERTILIZERS.
To corn or cotton when plants are
about half grown apply nitrate Of
soda; to corn, when plants begin to
bunch for tasseling; to cotton, when
beginning to put out forms or before.
When nitrate is applied later, the
tendency is to make late crop Of
fruit that is not mature before frost.
When possible, always stir the fer
tillzers in the soil when the moisture
will dissolve the plant food at once.
POULTRY.
Inbreeding and vermin cause a
loss of over half the stock each sea-
son. Badly inbred fowls have not
much vigor or constitution, and the
least ailment or attack of vermin
puts the little things out at once.
Changing the males every season
will remedy weaknesses in the young.
To kill vermin mix sulphur and air
slaked lime, one of each, and sprin-
kle this in places where the fowls
dust themselves. This will kill ver-
min on large fowls. For mites take
mixture of half kerosene oil and
water, rub in feathers on hen with
the hand: the little chickens get
their heads oiled from the hen.
COTTON MILL MERGER SCARE.
Up-to-date Farmers Union men
see no good in growing about re-
financing" and the recent big merg-
ing" of the mills. 1t is plain fact
that many of the mills are in bad
way, and if they don't 'refinance"
and merge some, they will be SUBJ
merged and 60 under where cotton
growers were when cotton was five
cents, before the Union went into
business. Our mill men are good
fellow competitors with cotton
growers for profit out of cotton.
These rlill men are smart business
men and are working not to injure
the farmer but to take care of their
own interests, and all cotton grow
ers have to do to protect their in
terests is to copy some of these

CLOTHES ARE THE BANE
Of KING GEORGES LIFE

as "pantaloon Dress" consisting of an
evening coat, with black trousers cut
close to the leg and fitting tight
around the ankles.
King George, on tie whole, however,
has a decidedly economical taste in
clothes and his tailor declares that he
is an ideal customer. The reason for
this Is that he never requires any
freaks and that his figure is such that
he is easy to fit. His ordinary clothes
are made by H. Davis, of Hanover
street and his uniforms by Jones, Clark
& Dawson, of Sackville street. Nc
doubt a good many American tailors
think they would like to have the ac
count, both for the good money that il
brings in and for the advertising to be
got out of it. They wouldn't like ii
so much if they knew the facts. The
Kings tailors must never use their
royal patronage in any way to increase
their trade and the Kings clothing
bill is a modest one. He pays from
$40 to SIS for a suit, the lower price
being for his lounge suits and the
higher for his evening clothes, and his
tailors bill rarely exceed $4,000 year.
Of course the mere act of changing
is made as easy for the king as pos
sible. He has two Wallets, the senior,
Hewlett, having been with him for a
number of years, and two "brushers"
who assist the Wallets. A valet and
brusher are always on duty. Every
morning the valet receives a copy of
the kings list of engagements for the
day and it is his duty to have the APP
propriate clothes ready when the king
comes to change. He must know all
the niceties of all the uniforms and see
that everything is correct to the last
dot In spite of all this responsible
ity the pay is not high. Hewlett re-
ceives a salary of 5000 a year and has
an apartment in st. James Palace. OF
course he will also be pensioned, as
King Edwards valet was, when he
grows too old to work or when his
master dies.
