BEAUTIFUL CAR
Being EXHIBITED
STATHAM GARAGE
Big PACKARD MUCH ADMIRED
Statham Garage Has Packard
Agency Here

Hundreds of callers at Statham' S
garage yesterday admired greatly the
beautiful Packard passenger tour
ing car which had just arrived. This
acme of perfection in modern car
building had been ordered by Cor
don Statham, local representative of
the Packard company, as demon
stration car, he having accepted the
Packard agency in Americas, but it
will not long be devoted to that pur-
pose.
Col. Crawford Wheatley appreciates
the value of a fine Packard, owning
two fine cars already and the moment
he saw this beautiful one he wanted
it and planked down the prices, 100
-unhesitatingl and thus owns today,
perhaps, the handsomes machine in
the state
There is nothing in Atlanta that
will touch it" said Mr.. Statham, as
he looked admiringly upon the grace
|ful lines and handsome finish Of this
leviathan on wheels.
The Packard is regarded as one of
the very finest cars ever produced,
and while the price is seemingly high,
they are really more economical in
the end than a cheap car, as after
years of service, it is still Pack
ard, and good as the best" Mr.. Sta
than would emphasize this plain fact
upon prospective purchasers. When
a cheap car plays out, it is "all in"
There is no 'play-out' to Packard
car.
The car bought by Mr.. Wheatley
came directly yesterday from the
Packard factory. 1t possesses every
new feature of the "upto now" car,
and is an electrical marvel on wheels.
1t is finished in the standard Packard
colors; black, polished body, with
wheels of cream tint, and is the adj
miration of all beholders. While cost
Ing $500, it will wear longer than
will half dozen cheaper machines.
Mr.. Statham says.
The car will remain at the Statham
garage for three or four days to al
ford the public an opportunity of see
ing this absolute perfection in car
construction.

WORLDS FAMOUS
SURGEON SAYS X-RAYs
WILL CURE CANCER
baltimore Specialist Tells of Perfected
Machine That win Save Many Lives
-Cheapness Brings Treatment In
Reach Of All, He Radium Will
Always Be Used In Some eases.


Baltimore, Mr., Jan. 9-Dr. Howard
A. Kelly, recognized throughout the
world as an authority on cancer, ! is
responsible for the statement made
today that the dread disease is GER
tainly durable, through the discovery
of device which greatly intensifies
the x-rays and controls the applica
ton. This discovery makes the
treatment of cancer much cheaper
than the treatment by radium, and
brings relief from the disease within
the reach of all.
DIR. Kelly was seen in the consult
ing room of his private sanitarium,
by a reporter, to whom he made this
unexpected statement in the course
of a discussion on radium.
More Effective Than Radium.
Scientists all over the world" he
continued, have been experimenting
with an x-ray device, which in our
opinion, now that we have observed
it in it's perfected form, will do all
that has been claimed for radium and
perhaps a great deal more.
Certainly it has one vast advant-
age over radium, and that is it's cost.
I think l can state that the treatment
by the perfected x-ray will be within
the reach of ALL"
Radium to Be Used Also.
''Dou you mean to say that radium
will be entirely abandoned in cancer
and tumor treatment" DR.. Kelly was
asked.
'''Not by any means. Radium will
always have it's place in every labor
atory and hospital that can afford it.
But when one considers how expea
sive it is you can readily imagine how
much more universally its rival will
be used. This new ray is not in a
strict Interpretation of the word new.
1t is the old ray many times intensi-
fed and so perfected that it can be

trance to the editorial offices was ac-
costed by small Office boy, who told
him that he wouldn't be allowed to

Who BEAT JOE TINKER? Is ~
QUESTION FANS WANT Az

Not so very long ago. Joe Tinker,
well known ex-manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds, sought to enter the edi-
torial sanctum of Chicago news
paper, The person at the door, not
recognizing Tinker forbade his en-
trance, whereupon an alteration en-
sued. Since that time several versions
of the affair have found space in the
public print.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-01-10

In the dispatch Tinker, when he
approached the door, found not a
small Office boy, but large, rough
Waterman of severe countenance and
menacing aspect. 1t was clear from
one look at this rufHian that his chief
delight was intimidating those who
approached him. Joe was about to
go on by when the rough person in
quired in an uncultured voice
"wotell" did he want there. Joe gave
the beast look and told him TO mind
his own affairs. When the rough
party saw that look in Tinker's eye,
he stepped aside, allowing Joe to pass
without murmur This story went
pretty we'll, except that the paper in
sisted that they had no such rough
person in their employ.
Another Comment.
This time when Joe Tinker reached
the door above mentioned. he found
no less than three large janitors and
a Waterman impeding his progress,
All of them had red necks and great
enormous hands, replete with hair. An
