machine that has been demonstrated

instance Of Congressman ShaCkleiord.
The company from which the ma
chine is bought will cooperate with
the organization buying it in building
a magnificent road from Versailles
south twenty miles to the Camden
County line, on what is known as
county seat road, as authorized by
the last Legislature. This is also the
road from Versailles to Hah.tonka.
The road will be well graded, heavily
gravelcd and made the most picture
esJue road in the Ozark region.
This powerful machinery has demon
strated that it can build mile OF

was expected to begin work on this
splendid enterprise yesterday.
We said last week that the build
ing of this road would be worth 500
900 to Morgan County, which is a
low estimate, but did not say any
thing about the increased value of
the lands on either side, possibly
$50, 900. We believe now that Nor
gan County will continue to be the
central pivot on which the Imperial
State will revolve. Now if Camden
county will continue the road to Ha-
hatonka, we can all 60 down oC-
casionally and visit that romantic sec
ton. Keep the ball a-moving, boys,

SUNDAY GENERAL
DELIVERY LIKELY
But Postmaster Denies Having
Taken Up the Matter With
Washington as Yet,

Declaring that he had been mis-
quoted in a morning paper, Boiling
H. Jones Tuesday denied he had for
warded recommendations to Wash
ington asking the Postmaster Cen
eral to grant permission to open the
general delivery window of the At
lanta postoffice on Sunday.
Il have granted the request of
some 200 business men of Atlanta"
ne said. Starting last Sunday had
all box mail distributed. l am in re-
Ceipt of a number of letters from
these gentlemen thanking me for this
4, 1T may be possible in the course of
"A few months to open the general de-
livery windows for one hour on Sun
day. AS it is now, all the hotels re-
ceive mail directed to guests in their
care, but suppose a man came to At
lanta and had not previously decided
at just what hotel he would stop. He
would look for his mail in care of
general delivery.
Now, I don't believe it is right for
one person to get mail on Sunday and
not another, and for just this reason
l will do my best to rectify the mat
ter. All forwarding orders we re-
ceive are promptly attended to- and
Sunday or any other day these let
tiers are not delayed a single hour"

mined to secure the passage of the

With the dea th~sf Senator Nat Bax-
ter yesterday having reduced the ma
joTity of the regular Democrats n
the Senate, and the riotous scenes
witnessed in the extra session just

BUSY DAYS NOW.
FOR WANT AD
RIVALS
Important Are at Hand-Remem-
Der Live HustIing Will Pay
Handsome Dividend.

What are you doing to-day? Have
you seen half a dozen people and told
them that you are in The American
and Georgian Want Ad Contest?
Have you asked them to give you
their advertising now?
These should be busy days for all
ca ldidates who are working with
might and main to win one of the q
valuable prizes on November IS. Oc-
tober Is should also be an important
date. not only because It is the clos
ing date of the extra cash prizes, but
because the live hustlers will have
secured the advertising that should
have been yours before that time
Your friends are interested in your
campaign, but II is necessary for YOU
to look them up and let them know
that you would appreciate their as
sistance now while you can secure
the extra prizes
Do not depend upon your promises.
Advertising only will increase your
vote. If Mr.. Jones had promised to
help you, do not let go until he has
made his promise good. Too often a
candidate allows himself to be put off
with a promise and the next candi-
date who solicits the same person and
who is a little more persistent than
the first, succeeds. The point is get
there first II you want the benefit of
your promise.
There is no reason why YOU can
not win a gold prize October Is. All
that is neces sary is for YOU to turn in
more advertising than the other can
didates. YOU can do it if you just
make up your mind TO that effect II
for any reason you should TAIL on the
first prize of $50 in gold, there is S25
for the second highest and $40 for
the third. highest on October Is.
There is also 800 and $50 waiting
for the two highest organizations.
Remember these cash prizes are in
addition to the list of prizes to be
awarded November Is and will be
awarded on the work done since last
Monday, September ~
The contest manager wishes to
warn all contestants of the fact that
any candidate who is caught allow
ing the advertiser more of a discount
than is already provided for on the
coupon books, even though he pays
the difference himself, will he dis
continued from the list of contestants.
This method is not fair to the other
contestants and will not be tolerated
under any circumstances.

You don't want a slow remedy
when your stomach is bad-Or an IN
certain 'one-Or a harmful one-your
stomach is too valuable; you mustn't
inure it with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness: its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its millions of cures in Indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stOm-

world over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep 1t handy-get a
large fifty-Cent case from any drug

something which doesn't agree with
them; if what they eat lays like lead,

Chief Jentzen then looked through
pile of more than a hundred COM
plants, and found the one entered by
the Whitehall street firm. He ex-
pressed his surprise that It had not
been attended to, but VOLUNTEERED no
explanation. A few minutes later the
garbage was removed.
The nuisance aroused a storm of
opposition from merchants and bust
ness houses in a radius of three
blocks.
"Atlanta's system of collecting
garbage is twenty years behind vir-
tually every other city in the United
States" said a member of the firm
Tuesday morning. Complaints are
being made from all over the city that
garbage is allowed to lie uncollected
in cans for days at a time. A num-
Der of Whitehall and Peachtree street
merchants have had the same eXpe-
rience that we have had-their bust
ness has been hampered and their
relations with their neighbors
strained because the SANITARY de-
partment failed to do Its duty and
collect the garbage. No attention is
paid to complaints unless a personal
visit is made TO the offices in the city
hall. Conditions are getting worse,
and unless something is done At
lanta faces the prospect of an cpl
demic of fever
Il understand that the wagons are
supposed to collect the garbage be-
fore 1880 o'clock in the morning, yet
it is not an uncommon sight to see
an uncovered garbage wagon travers-
ing Peachtree and Whitehall streets
in the middle of the afternoon. In
no other city in the country would
that be allowed. In Illinois and Mis-
souri,, for instance, garbage collec-
tons are made after nightfal, the
wagons are kept covered, and ira

SAINT AIRY DEPARTMENTS
LAX SERVICE SCORED BY
WHITEHALL MERCHANTS

Conditions SO disgracefuI as to be
almost unbelievable resulting from
the lax methods of the city sanitary
department in collecting garbage in
the downtown business district, were
revealed Tuesday morning by several
prominent Whitehall street mer-
chants.
The carelessness Of the drivers of
the garbage wagons and the little at
tention that is paid to complaints
made at the~ofices of the department
IN the City Hall, have developed these
conditions, the merchants claim, to a
point where the health of the entire
clty-or at least the health of the
downtown WORKERS. menaced An
epidemic of typhoid fever is imminent
unless conditions are remedied.
whitehall street merchants have
peen complaining about the garbage
service for several months. but not
until Tuesday morning, when a par
ucularly glazing instance of careless
ness OF the drivers and the lack of
attention paid to complaints became
known, did these complaints reach the
volume of combined attack on the
system.
In this instance the garbage wagons
ialled to come around Saturday, Sun
day and Monday. Saturday after
noon complaint was made to the
sanitary department Monday an
other complaint was made, with no
result
Tuesday morning one of the mem
ners OF firm went to the offices of
the department and asked Chief John
Jentzen about it. Chief Jentzen
asked why complaint had not been
made. The merchant replied that he
had complained half a dozen times.

Blasts Snake Bite;
Saves Hunters Life

BY placing gunpowder in the wound
from a snake bite and igniting it, w. H.
Bowers saved the life of his brother
T. r. Bowers. The victim is in the
Grady Hospital in a serious condition
from the shock of the powder explosion,
which made a bad wound.
The two were hunting near Oakland
City Monday afternoon. T. R. Bowers
dropped his gun and as he reached for
II a water moCCasin hit him between
the index and middle fingers. His
brother lost no time in opening a shell
and pouring the powder on the bite.
He then ignited it with a match. The
victim was carried on his brothers
shoulders to an automobile and rushed
10 Grady Hospital.
But for the gunpowder the hospital
physicians say Bowers probably would
have died before help could have
reached him.
