LORIMER WAS
ACCEPTABLE TO :,
PRES. TAFT.
TESTIFIED WITNESS in TRIAL
Letter From Congressman is.
Produced and Read

Washington, July "a Edward
Hines, of Chicago, caused a sensation
today by testifying before the senate
Lorimer committee that Repre- 'Snta-
tive Henry S. Boutell, Of Illinois, now
American minister to Switzerland,
told him that President Taft regard
ed Lorimer as an acceptable senato7
rial candidate, and was anxious 20
have him elected, and would be very
gIad to assist in his election.
Suddenly, at the instance of ais
counsel, Mr.. Hines produced a sheet
of paper, without letter head and
without date, but which Mr.. Hines
said was in Mr.. Boutell's handwriting
This little sheet contained these
words:
Il should like to have the senator
know who was the only man in Wash
ington who went to the president il
his behalf, and bring off the goods"
Mr.. Hines declared that the sena-
tor referred to, was Senator Lorim er
and that his election to the senate
was the subject of the note. The wit.
ness explained that he was sure of his
explanation, because little while az.
ter he got the note from Mr.. Bouteil
he had a conversation with him, which
cleared up the matter Mr. Hines de-
clared that in this conversation, Mr.
Boutell said he had gone to see Presi.
dent Taft and had told him that Lori
mer seemed to be the only man upon
whom the factions could unite.

GREGORY
NOT INVOLVED
IN TROUBLE
ANOTHER man In THE AFFRAY
Americas Friends Interested
in Reports Circulated

When a sensational story was Cir
Culated in Americus yesterday to the
effect that Paul Gregory formerly of
Americus, had been assaulted and
stabbed in Albany Sunday night, the
greatest interest was manifested
among Mr.. Gregory's many friends
here and kilograms sent to Albany for
particulars.
1t transpired later that Mr. Paul
Gregory, who formerly lived in Albany
but was a resident of Columbus, was
not the man referred to, but one C. C.
Gregory instead
The Times-Recorder last night re-
ceived the following special regarding
the Albany affair:
Albany, Ga, July 24-Alva Johnson
night foreman in the Central of Geor.
gia railroad yards here charged with
assault with intent to murder c. c.
Gregory last Friday night, was today
released from custody on fifteen hull
dred dollars bond.
He waived preliminary hearing and
the case will come up for trial at the
next term of Doughterty superior court
in September.
Gregory, who was inspector for the
Southern Weighing and Inspecting
Bureau, and Johnson engaged in a fight
in the yards last Friday night. During
the struggle Johnson drew a knife and
severely cut Gregory, once in the
shoulder and again in the side.
The latter wound was very serious
and it was not until this morning that
the attending physician would pro,
nounce the wounded man out of dan
ger, so that bond could be arranged
for Johnson. The latter remained n
the county Jail until this morning.
Gregory is alleged to have rushed
into the yard office after having been
cut, secured d pistol and fired at mis-
departing opponent. Yardsmaster Bry-
bois is said to have interfered and
knocked the gun upwards as Gregory
fired.
Stories of the fight are so conflicting
that the trial of the case in court is
awaited to ascertain the correct de-
tails.

TOUCH OF AUTUMN IN
YESTERDAYS WEATHER
Mere Rain Predicted For This
Week

Neither Tybee, Pablo Beach or any
other summer resort had anything on
Amejcus yesterday in the way Of
breeziness and delightful temperature.
1t was a pleasant touch of autumnql
residents Of 'Americus who spend their
summers at hame-same 'old siX-and-
seven" AN
Following the marked winds of the
day before, though characterized by
hardly as much cloudiness, yest9r-
days weather showed brisk westerly
to southwesterly winds that blew ia
cessantly throughout the day. There
was sand in plenty circulating in the
wrong places, and one could with diff
ficulty keep from thinking that it was
really September at hand-goldenrod,
melancholy days and the rest.
Both the local and the lOng-distance
forecast from Washington indicate
rain for the next few days, and 1t IS
likely that the persistent winds of thA
past few days are but forerunners OF
heavy weather, Already the weather
record for the month, as kept by OBJ
server Frank P. Harold, indicates
that Americus has received 80 inches
of rain, which is but seven-tenths 1
an inch less than that registered at
Macon.
If the weather dope pans out, there
will be a good amount Of moisture ad
ded to the present supply before .h'
month is over. Farmers throughoa
the county are hoping that the raia
will be deferred for some time, as tn
rainfall to date for the month has bee
entirely sufficient for all needs. :.
fact, additional rainfall would notice
ably harm crops, in the opinion @
most farmers.

ORCHESTRA AT THE MURRAY

The Wilhelm band at the Murray
theater this week Is a musical organi-
cation worthy of note and is pleasing
all by the excellent numbers which
are presented. The leader, Will
helmi, presents the famous composers
and directors of the past and present
assisted by his Imperial Yacht band.
The musical program which they pre-
sent is very high class with the di-
rectors in reality. The different i'm
presentations are ali very good. That
of John Philip Sousa is especially
realistic and was probably the better
received by the audience, as Sousa
and his band has been heard here at
the Coliseum. This is probably one
of the best attractions scheduled at

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and Cheaply Made at
Home Saves You Sc.

This recipe makes a pint Of cough
syrup-enough to last family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or
as good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually stops the
most obstinate cough in "a hours.
This is partly due to the fact that it
is slightly laxative, stimulates the
appetite and has an excellent tonic
effect. 1t is pleasant to take-chil-
dren like it. An excellent remedy,
too. for whooping cough, sore lungs.
asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar
with II pint of warm water, and stir
for 2 minutes. Put "a ounces OF
Pinex $50 cents WORTH in a pint bot
tie and add the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps
perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every
one, two or three hours.
Pine Is one OF the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valu-
able concentrated compound of Nor
|. way white pine extract, and is rich in
guiaicol and all the other natural
healing elements. Other preparations
will not work in this formula.
The prompt results from this rec
ipe have endeared it to thousands OF
housewives in the United States and
Canada. which explains why the
plan has been initiated often, but
never successfully.
A guarantee of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes
with this recipe. Your druggist has

RUSSIAN MUSIC

looked forward to with much pleasure
by the society folk, as we'll as the
the event will be a most brilliant So

wondering why Russian music has be

are also amazed that Russian htera-
ture has achieved such power. why.
they ask, should "A nation which, az

The answer IL not difficult. II Is be-
cause OF the present efforts OF Rus
SLAMS to rise above medieval institu-
lions and conditions that her art Is
making her voice so potent IL Is
simply repeating history. Russian
music is characteristic and Is largely
an exploitation of the folk-songs. On
this we'll nigh the whole OF music IL

in part by reason of the plaintive ma
ture. the pathos that accompanies
struggle and the tragedy that is being
endured under duress. Much con.
tempt has been felt In the past for
Hungarans and Bohemians. as II they
were heathens. but they have fur

Practically all British music Is based

on the ballads which IL provided roy

the soil. II has been so in most in

At present Russian music has an
appeal because Of its Intensity and
its novelty. A Russian orchestra plays
native music on native instruments

suits. 1t is the voice of the peasant

made a long list of resolutions which
they expect to live up to. This doesn't

world to live up to. Would it not
be lot better just to live
every day so that at the close
one fells they have accomplished
something rather than to keep that
long list of resolutions and have to
check one off every day. Resolutions
may be all right but nevertheless they
are mighty hard to live up to and it
doesn't pay to start something you
