Crippled and with prospect of

1t is further claimed that withou

loss they claim is directly traceable to
political influence.

TAFT MAY WIN OUT In
RECIPROCITY Fight
Canvass of Senate Indicates
This Result

Washington, June Canvass oi
the senate today indicated that Pres
ident Taft would win in the final
round of the Canadian reciprocity fight
and that the Root amendment tackled
on to the proposed pact by the il
nance committee would be killed On
the floor of the house.
A poll of the situation, it was said
shows that a large majority Of sena-
tors are with the president in his stand
against an amendment and that the
bill will ultimately be agreed to in the
form in which it passed the house.
The democrats with but few excec-
tons will support it. Republican in
surgents at first inclined to oppose it
as body, are known to be divided and
as many will support the president
as will be found voting against him.
Enough of the regulars, actuated by a
desire to prove their loyalty to the ad-
will smother their pri-
vate views and come to the presidents S
support.

YOUNG BOY WAS VICTIM
OF A RABID POINTER
Hurried to Atlanta For Pas

In the care of relatives, young Ed
win FORESTER, of Leesburg, the ten
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. A.
Forester, passed through Americus
yesterday, en- route to Atlanta to ne
given the precautionary treatment for
rabies, on account of the fact that he
was bitten Wednesday by a dog, since
discoved to be mad
The boy was on visit to his uncle,
Mr. j. A Forester, near Leesburg.
when he was bitten by the dog, which
came into room where it was not
wanted. Young Forester attempted
to drive the dog from the room. where
upon the animal sprang upon him and
bit him severely on the arm and
side.
Mr.. j. A, Forester at once killed
the dog, which he has suspected as
early as last Monday was suffering
from rabies The head was sent It
once to the headquarters of the State
Board of Health in Atlanta, where it
was examined, the decision of the ex-
perts being that the dog was suffer-
ing from rabies.
As soon as this intelligence was re-
ceived young Forester was at once
taken to Atlanta for treatment. AL
though the wounds made by the dogs
teeth are rather severe, it is thought
that the Pasteur treatment will pre-
vent an attack of hydrophobia, as it is
only in the rare instances where one
is bitten on the head or face that the
treatment fails to ward off rabies in
human beings, if it is taken promptly
and under expert management

There are only six days left before
the close of The Times-Recorder's S
Great Subscription Contest will be
reached. 1t is hard for some of the
contestants to realize this, but it is
true. That means there is less than a
week of time in which the contestants
may cinch their chances on the big
prizes offered, for the great opportun-
ity of winning one of the magnificent
prizes is rapidly vanishing.
There has never been better time
for contestants to work han now.
The present is the very best time to
do the very best work, No contestant
can afford to waste minute from the
contest work 1t is OF the most vital
Importance that the next seven days
be filled full of the very best effort.
There are plenty of prospective SUB
scribers who need visits from contest
ants to land them.
These have been expecting the con-
testants to call on them, but have
been overlooked, or perhaps have put
off some contestant with a promise to
subscribe before the contest closes.
They are waiting for good, live con-
testant to look them up. Go to see
them at once and get their subscrip-
tons Don't delay a minute, for it
may mean that somebody gets there

Opportunity has been looking in IN
the contestants from the time the race

the most artistic and costly jewelry,
as well as the $15 in gold--are all on
display once more in the window Of
Frickers jewelry store. where they
will remain until the y close of the
contest. Every piece Of jewelry is
guaranteed as completely and fully as
any product of the gildsmith's crafts
manship can be guaranteed, and the

WALTER DAVIS
KILLED FATHER
With a HatChGt While Old
Man Slept

Macon, Ga, June 9-Tat Walter Da-
Wis, constable for the court of JUS
tice of the Peace Brown, killed his
father, Thomas J. Davis, a mechanic
for the Central of Georgia, while the
latter lay asleep in his bed at 50S Giles
street, South Macon, and then went TO
his home ON the Thomaston road, IS
miles from Macon and committed sui
eide by drinking a mixture of carbolic
acid and laudanum, was the appalling
fact disclosed this morning by an in
vestigation that followed the finding
of their bodies.
The body of the elderly man was
found in bed partially covered by a
sheet, by J. H. Curry, who operates a
store directly across the street. The
failure of the man to report for work
led to the first inquiry Curry knocked
and knocked upon the door, and final
ly entered the house, the door not be-
ing locked. "A sickening sight met his
gaze. The mans forehead was cleft
and has hair and face were bespat
tered with blood, which also stained
the bed clothing. On the floor lay a
hatchet, darkly spotted His arm was
raised as if he had instinctively en-
deavored to ward off the blow while
the look of repose on his face suggest
ed that he has been attacked while
asleep.
Shortly before the body of Walter
Davis had been found in the stable
house in the rear of the home of his
father-in-law, George Green, with
whom he and his wife and two chill
dren lived. The body was PROSTATE
on the ground, nearly doubled, as if
by convulsions. Beside it were two
empty bottles, one marked Iaundanun
and the other carbolic acid, and a dip
per in which the poisons had been
mixed. There was also a note, read
ing:
Dear Wife: l am tired of living
and take this route to end it all"
Young Davis was seen in the neigh
borhood of his fathers home on Giles
street last night about II o'clock. He
appeared to be lettering around the
street At 2 o'clock he arrived at his
home on the Thomaston road, but did
not go to bed. 1t is believed that ne
drank the poisons shortly before day
light. Stains on his clothing are sup
posed to have been caused by blood
splashing on him, when he struck mis-
father.
1T is not known now whether there
was recent trouble between the
father and son, but about three years
ago they had an argument because the
former would not loan his son
sum of money, which resulted in seri-
GUS breach between them. So far as is
known, they had not spoken since
that time.

Chicago, June 9-Judge Carpenter,
in the United States District court, IS
expected to announce his decision on
the latest plea of the ten millionaire
packers, indicted individually on
criminal charges growing out of the
formation of the alleged beef trust, for
immunity from prosecution, Monday.
The latest effort of the packers to

crnment and packers have filed their
