wound up with a big meeting at the
opera house. On the afternoon pre-
vious to the melting Bales son, VIII,

out in the suburbs with a crowd of
fellows and took a glass of beer.
That night at the melting Bale, who
was presiding, went through the usual
stunt of all evangelists by asking peo-
pie to answer certain questions by
raising their hands.
How many of you have taken a
glass of beer today?" he asked.

THE CITY'S SPLENDID CREDIT.

The happy ConsGmmatiOn on Tues
day Of the sale of the total bond issue
of 100000 on terms pronounced most
favorable by competing firms that fail
ed 10 secure the bonds and by all
who are familiar with the present state
of the bond market in Georgia is an
achievement Of which the people Of
Americas may justly feel proud.
The fact that a larger part of the
issue brought par is one that shows
the splendid credit the City of Ameri-
Gus enjoys among the municipalitias
of the state. When cities three or four
times as large as Americas place their
bonds on the market at the same fig
ures at which local bonds were sold,
the credit of Americas in these deals
surpasses that of these larger NUM-
cipali-ies.
The unanimous approval with which
the members of Council cast their
votes in favor of selling the total bond
issue at the most favorable bid Of
fered Tuesday evening, shows the con-
fdence and dsliberation with which
they acted. 1t was manifest TO them
that the best possible price for the
bonds had been offered, SO that there
was but one thing to do.
The wisdom of having all the bonds
sold at one time was made manifest by
the fact that practically all bids were
made on condition that all the bonds
or none should be obtained at the
prices stipulated This, as we'll as
other matters that arose, serve to
show that the city has handel its sale
Of bonds in most satisfactory manner
The work remaining now is to see
that the money realized from the sale
is expended judiciously and effectively
in bringing about the most helpful i'm
provements in the citys water, sewer
sage and paving facilities. The past
achievements of Americas have in
deed been great and worthy of the mu-
nicipality, but those that the future
promises will be even greater.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by al
Unframed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed. deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mu-
GUS surfaces.

4 Poet Without Honor.

Owen Wister, the novelist, was talk
ing in Philadelphia about a poet whose
works sold poorly, says the Minneap-
oils Journal.
Poets are usually without honor
he said. Remember WORDSWORTH
case. The great Wordsworth, you
know, was in the habit of spouting his
poetry aloud as he took his lonely
walks. Thus he polished and elaborat-
ed his lines. Thus, too. he got the
reputation among the Rydal Lake folk

!, cullem Opinion on outeems.
Senator Cullom was one of the reg
ular republican leaders who expressed
the utmost qualification In the election
returns.
Taking the outcome as u whole he
said. II think it may be said that the
republicans have the better Of it. Moth
ing could be more decisive than the
carrying Of the legislatures in New
York and New Jersey and the election
of governor In Maryland. We even
gave Governor Foss.a close call and re-
drced his plurality from what he had q
year ago.
There is no doubt in my mind that
the tide has turned in favor of the re-
pubicans. The people have come to
realize the folly of taking up with the
half baked theories OF demagogs. The
republicans are winning because they
are right and always have been. I'be-
lieve that Tuesdays election means
President Taft will be reelected. and
that the republicanes will hold the sen
ate and regain the house Of representa-
