GENTLY CLEANS YOUR liver

Delicious Syrup of Figs cense the liver
of sour bile, gases decayng food and cloggedup

until they needed large dose of
physic, then they took something
severe. like castor oil, salts or ca
thartics, that meant abuse to the
bowels. These are the days of the
gentle and natural---tho days Of
Syrup Of Figs. This way you are
not drugging yourself. Syrup OF
Figs. being composed entirely of lus-
cious figs. SIENNA and aromatics, can
not cause injury.
Ask your druggist for Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna," and look
for the name, California Fig Syrup
Company, on the label. This is the
genuine--old reliable. Any other
so-called Fig Syrup is an imitation
often meant to deceive you. Refuse
such with pt.-Advertisement

MORE COUNTIES
FOR GEORGIA
WILL Be URGED
"STONEWALL" AN APPLICANT
Several Such Bills Before
Next Assembly

Atlanta, Feb. 7-Notwithstandin
the fact that Georgia now has 143
counties, or an average of nearly twice
as many as most other states in pro-
portion to size, there will be several
applications before the next legisla-
ture for the admission of still other
new counties.
The latest application comes from
people living in portions of Emanuel,
Tattnall and Warren counties, who
want to form themselves into new
county to be called "Stonewall," in
honor of Gen. Stonewall Jackson. 1t
is proposed that Stillmore, a thriving
and prosperous town in the southeast
section of the state, shall be the county
seat.
1t is understood that the old fight
for a new county, with Winder as the
county seat, will come up again.
This is one new county proposition
which many members of the last Leg
islature conceded had much merit, but
so strong was the fight against it I'M
til it failed to go through 1t was his
opposition to the Winder new county
movement which is said to have had
much to do with the defeat of Hon.
John n Holder, former speaker of the
house of representatives in his race
for congress in the Ninth district.
These are only two of the new
county movements, but there are four
or five others, which have been agi-
tated for some time, and it is practi-
cally certain that they will make Their
appearance at the coming session.
1t is also certain, according to well
authenticated reports, that there will
be pretty strong fight made against
the admission of any more new coun-
ties, on the ground that Georgia now
has more than enough for any re-
spectacle state.

man AGED 5000 YEARS
brings A GOOD PRICE
Brings $500 Cash in The
Open Market

London, Feb, IA man who lived
i Egypt six thousand years ago was
sold last week in London for two hun
dred dollars. This mummy of the
Fre-dynastic period was part of the
de Rustaiaen Egyptian collection which
was sold before a gathering of collec-
tors representing the leading mu-
seums of the world.
This collection was considered one
of the finest in existence and there was
eager bidding for some of the pieces,
but on the whole the prices realized
were not high. AS one dealer express.
ed it, there is at present AN awful
clump in mummies," Private collec.
tors bore away the richest relics, but
several of the museums, including the
British museum, enriched their col
lections at the sale.

Resolved, That We hereby petition

People become neurotic and hysteric.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
ARRANGE CONTEST
Unique Race for a Prize in
Atlanta

Atlanta, Feb. 1.-Two of Atlanta s
best known Sunday-schools have laid
as Sunday-schools are concerned, and
have laid a wager with each other as
to which will secure the most scholars.
The wager is to be a picnic, in
which both Sunday-schools will par
ticipate, and the losing Sunday-school
will foot the bills.
OF course the Sunday-schools don't
admit it is a bet" They call it 4
contest, and the school that gets the
most points is to be given a picnic by
the other one.
Points are to be counted as follows:
For each scholar present at $50 a.
M. the opening hour, 2 points; for
each oOhOldT pISSeuL ny 0'oO a. Ill., L
point Nothing at all for those who
arrive after $50
For every Sunday-school scholar
who attends church and is present the
next Sunday to report it, one point,
for each new scholar brought into
the school, points; and so on.
The wager has been laid between
the Sunday-school of the First Chris
tan Church and that of the Second
Baptist Church. As the Second Bap-
fist has an average attendance of
about 500 as compared with 400 for
the First Christian, this handicap IS
to be overcome by considering only
four-fifths of the attendance of the
former.
The picnic will be given by the loser
to the winner some time in June or
July, and one of its features will be 4
baseball game between picked teams
from each school
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1913-02-18

TT seems to us very fitting. We con
graduate ourselves and l feel like
congratulating the people OF Georgia
upon the perfecting of this organiza-
ton and the uniting of the efforts Of
the great State College OF Agricul-
ture which you have established in
your state, and the United States De
partment of Agriculture, for render
ing the best possible service to the
farmers of the state of Georgia"
AS Mr. Knapp has aptly stated on
another occasion: THE campus Of
the college has been extended to the
whole state" The siXty-odd farm
demonstrators will be in close con
nection with the working of the col
lege, and in fact may be said to now
be a part of it's field force.

Why Sons of Many Rich
Men Really Are So Stupid

great many sons of rich men are
stupid. If you stop to think about it
for a while, provided you have an
average wide acquaintance and keep
posted on the doings of the times by
constant reading, you will no doubt
be able to name a few such men, says
DR.. w Peabody Bartlett, in the New
Orleans Item
The rich boy doesn't want to study
His father is altogether too busy 70
look after his studies. His mother
will not allow her pet to go to the
public schools and mix with the com
mon people" and SO private teacher,
several of them, are engaged. But
the tutors are not teaching their own;
thep are working for salary. They
haven't the proper interest in the
youngsters,
If the boy doesn't want to study, he
complains that he doesn't feel well.
whereupon his studies are neglected
for the day or for week and he is
petted. taken out for airings or kept
! amused by nurses in his play room
The tutors are receiving their salaries
just the same. Why should they OBJ
iect to a day or a few days off?
In the public schools the children
must study or fall behind their class
mates. This competition and the nat
ural pride stimulate them Teachers
cannot be neglectful in public schools
for if they are not qualified, there are
always scores of others who are, and
eagerly awaiting their jobs. In the
rich household there is none of this
competition
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Co.
lumbia University, declares that the
child of the rich is often too seriously
handicapped by his luxurious home
life and private teaching to be proper
ly trained for college He declares that
such youth is frequently "hoisted
over the entrance examinations" By
tutors who train these rich youth4
just for that and nothing else. Then
they enter college and are left 10
make good"
They find they cannot do this, be.
cause they lack the proper general
training at is due to the indifference
Of rich fathers and the folly and van
ity of rich mothers that their children
are So frequently retarded in intel

lect," declares President Butler.
The extremely poor child is also ne
elected and lacks education, but his
forced battle with life at any early
age sharpens his wits. The childr IN
of the middle classes are well trained
in school and at home, but the son of
tie rich man is sadly neglected, even
amid his great luxury.
Just as the pampered lap dog be-
comes fat and diseased and unable to
run about and bark vigorously and
fight, SO does the pampered rich child
become mentally deficient and finds
himself unable to cope with children
of his age among the lower or work
ing classes
At the age when most youths are
earning their living and many of them
are helping support their parents or
brothers and sisters, altogeuner 100
many rich mems sons are not able @
do a simple example in mental arith,
metic, not able to tell the difference
between single and double entry book
keeping, are not able to tell the diff
ference between monarchy and a
republic, or whether wood is sold b.
the pound or foot.
Neglect on the part of the mother
IS the answer to the question why
are SO many children of the ricn
stupid?"
