PEOPLE DEMAND
CONTINUANCE OF
SCHEDULES HERE
OBJECTION WILL Be FILED
With Railway Commission if
Trains Removed


The business and commercial inter:
ests of Americus will protest the
threatened arbitrary annulment of
passenger train schedules of the Sea-
board railway, which would result in
the removal from this division of pas
senger trains 13 and IA, operated be-
tween Montgomery and Savanna. h,
converting them instead into subur-
ban trains running out of those cit
les.
1t is understood that orders have
been issued for the removal of these
important through trains and their
conversion into "shoot1y" trains, op-
Grating out of Savannah as far as
Helena, and out of Montgomery as
far as Richland, Ga.
There will be no diminution in the
number of trains operated; therefore,
70 reduction in operating expenses,
as the direct result of the war in Eu-
rope. The company will simply cut
out 100 miles of service in the middle
of the system between Richland on
the west and Helena on the east, and
operate the same two passenger trains
for the benefit, seemingly, Of Sa-
vannah and Montgomery.
In the territory to be frozen out
are the important towns of Ameri-
Gus, Plains, Cordele, Leslie, Desoto.
A5beville, Rochelle, Preston and 9th
ers, all Of which, except Americus, are
entirely dependent upon the Seaboard
for service.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 15.-Dr L. G.
Hardman, candidate for Governor,
was at his headquarters at the Kim

South Georgia, where he spent the
past ten days campaigning. He made
three speeches in Meriwether County
yesterday and addressed between
twenty-five hundred and three thous-

weeks have the people been disposed
to take interest in the governors race

MRS. uINKLE is DEAD
At HOME in MACON
Former Resident of Americas
Passes Away

Mrs. Laura E. Hinkle, 73 years old,
died Friday evening at her home in
Macon. Pneumonia is given as the
immediate cause of her death, but it
is said that the remote cause was a
broken hip sustained several months
ago when Mrs. Hinkle interfered in
an alteration between DR.. Hinkle and
his son. Mrs. Hinkle had not been
able to walk since that time.
Mrs. Hinkle is survived by three
sons: A. B. Hinkle, of Macon, and
Terry and Eugene B. Hinkle, both of
New York. Both New York sons
reached Macon Saturday evening in
time to attend the funeral of their
mother.
Mrs Hinkle was born and reared
in Macon and was the daughter of the
late A. G. Butts. She was the widow
of the late DR.. James B. Hinkie, whose
tragic death in Americus many years
ago is readily recalled. Since that
time she has resided in Macon. She
was one of the first graduates of Wes-
leyan.
The funeral exercises were hell
Saturday afternoon in Macon.

MEAT CONTINUES
SOARING Higher;
LIKEWISE SUGAR
EVERY DAY A LITTLE MORE
TrainlOadS of Meat Stored
In The South

Guess we will have to eat grass if
the Meat Trust maintains it's outrage
ously high prices" said an Americus
woman yesterday morning as she paid
her dollar for tiny bit of side meat,
about the size of an Ingersoll watch,
and tucked the little package careful
ly in her silver mesh bag rather than
trust its delivery to the grocer's por-
ter. AS precious almost as diamonds
is common, ordinary, uncured pork,
such as is generally used here.
This is the condition prevailing,
where there is probably a half mil
lion pounds side meat stored away in
the Americus warehouses of the wes-
tern packers, who watch greedily the
rapid advance in the price of meats.
1t is only stored here for safety
as at other interior points-just to
get it away from the packing house
depots in the west, and thus create an
apparent Shortage" of supply. This,
the packers doubtless argue, will af-
ford an excuse for running up the
price of meat to unheard of figures.
If there is really a half million
pounds bulk meat being held in Amer
icus for more exorbitant prices, it
is a fair assumption that every other
Georgia city is carrying like stock
of meat. Thus, millions of pounds
are concealed in warehouses through
out the South-the dumping ground
for uncured pork Or bulk meat, which
the Chicago owners may decide to sell
when the prices reaches twenty-five
cents per pound.
Twenty cents retail, is the price
here now. Cured or canvassed strips
sell at 40 cents per pound, or about
twice the price of a chicken.
An Americas meat dealer said yes
terday, discussing the trust squeeze"
that if grocers would stay out of the
market and decline to buy at prevail
ing eXorbitant prices, it would tend
to break the backbone of the Meat
Trust in this instance. Americus
consumers would assist the movement
by cutting out bulk meat for time.

JUDGE NAT F. HARRIS ANSWERS
CRITICISM OF HIS OPPONENTS
Macon Criticisms OpponentsConeder
is Harris Has Been Before the
People Month Waging Vigorous Campaign.

This statement is untrue. By the
Act of 1874 it was made unlawful to
sell or offer for sale in this State any
fertilizer before same had been in
spected and analyzed. Georgia Laws
1874 PIP. 7 and 81. By the Act Of
1877 all fertilizers were to be branded
with the true analysis therefor. 1t
was made a misdemeanor for any per-
son to offer for sale or distribution in
this state fertilizers without having a
brand or tag attached, showing the
analysis thereof. Analyses were made
a guarantee by the manufacturer or
seller that the fertilizers contained
the ingredients thereby and the per
centages thereof therein named.
Georgia Laws 1877, p. 81.
What Was the Ray Bill?
The Ray Bill provided that, al
though the fertilizer had been inspect
ed and analyzed, and Notwithstanding
the fact it contained the ingredients
and came up to the analysis which
the seller guaranteed, the buyers Of
such fertilizer could then plead fail
ure of consideration and get out of
paying for the very thing for which
they contracted, and which they got
This was the Ray Bill. Judge Harris
voted against this bill because he
thought it was wrong for a person to
get exactly what he bought, and then
he permitted to plead that the thing
so bought was worthless.

Macon, Ca, Aug. 15.-The follow
ing statement in reference to some
eleventh hour criticisms of Judge Nat
E. Harris legislative record thirty
two years ago was given out by Man
ager Fritz jones, of his campaign
headquarters this afternoon:
Judge Harris has been before the
people for more than two months, in
viting criticisms of his record. His
.opponents have not made a charge
against him. At the last minute, when
they know he cannot answer on the
stump. Mr.. Anderson publishes an
attack on him, and DR.. Hardman's
Committee simultaneously circulates
the same charges in a letter. These
charges are an alleged criticism OF
Judge Harris vote on certain bills in
the legislature thirty-odd years ago.
Do they publish the bills on which
Judge Harris cast his votes? No.
but by distorting the truth and veil
ing the real facts in the case, and
with the unfair tactics of the mud
singing politician, they, at this late
hour, seek to blacken the unimpeach-
able record of Judge Harris.
