BEATING THE PNEUMONIA

Gold weather OF the past week was
marked by a sudden increase of
pneumonia cases in the District.
Probably the same thing occurred
elsewhere. Therefore, the layman
will conclude that the chilly air
causes pneumonia; he will stay in-
doors, in overheated rooms, and thus
contribute the most potent causative
factor in the disease. .,..
The District Health Officer sends
forth his annual warning in regard
to pneumonia. Once. again he tries
to explain that overheated and stuffy
rooms, and not the cold air, cause
the disease. The efforts of the few
who realize this fact. but are COM
PEELED to work in offices with those
who do not, will Be an uphill task.
There will be the dread Of
"draughts," which never gave any
ono a cold, and the awful fear that
The mercury may not be soaring to a
nigh point.
Instead of walking, moro persons
will crowd into stuffy and poorly
ventilated street cars. Instead of
breathing deeply Of the fresh, cold
air, they win HE to places where the
air may be warm--and also polluted.
Thus the dread disease will continue
to NOV down its victims, until the
warmer weather again encourages
rbt fearful to go out into the open
,ysin and let that greatest of all
,hegsOeutic agencies, fresh air and
,71nsh ne, do its wholesome work.

BLIND TIGERS
GET SENTENCED
UPON STREETS

An array of alleged black bootleg
gers constituted the color scheme in
police court yesterday and drew
sentences of sixty days for having
peddied coffin paint about town in pint
bottles. OF course all pleaded not
guilty as expected. but the police had
the evidence and the city chaingang
got the black recruits. On account of
the trial of blind tiger cases, the trial
of citizens who are charged with hav-
ing violated the ordinance prohibiting
the maintaince of surface closets, was
deferred for the time The fact that
many members of the aldermanic
board have these closets on their
premises renders the situation bit
at this time.

Washington is Thrown Into Turmoil

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 29.-The
attention of official Washington was
again focused on Mexico today as a
result of President Wilson's announce
nlent that he had determined to see a
speedy end of hostilities in that re-
public. 1t is believed here that this
may mean the end of the "watchful
waiting policy and that intervention
in Mexico will be a matter of only a
few days unless the demands of the
United States are met.
President Wilson in addition to an
nouncing that the United States would
warn the Mexicans that matters must
be speedily adjusted, issued call, as
president of the Red Cross society.
asking that supplies be sent to the
sufferers in this war-torn republic to
the south of our native land.
The latest turn in affairs has ere.
ated considerable excitement in Wash
ington and the belief is prevalent that
the stars and stripes will be floating
over the Mexican capital in a short
while unless the two factions can
reach some agreement and give Uncle
Sam the assurance that all fighting
and pillage there will end Immediately.

SUMTER JAIL WILL BE RELIEVED
OF MANY INMATES.

The proceedings of Sumter superior
court this week would indicate that
the current term will be the shortest
in several years. Already the trial Of
civil business has reached a conclus-
ion, while the grand jury completed in
three or four days it's duties for the
term, and is now ready to make its
presentations, at the pleasure of the
court, and adjourn for the term The
criminal docket, while heavier than
the civil, will not consume any very
great length of time as there are no
great number of important felony
cases for trial. Judge Littlejohn will
enter upon the trial of criminal cases
morning.

LONDON, May 29.-Despite rigid
censorship London has been informed
that the Italians have made additional
gains in Austria, and that the two cit
les, Trent and Trieste, promised Italy
by Austria as the price of neutrality
are in danger of being taken by the
newest ally. The advancing army is
within a few miles of these two i'm

matter of only a day or so before
they are taken.
Dispatches from Geneva say that the
Italians are making rapid headway and
that a battle is raging this morning
between the Austrians and the Italian
forces. The authorities of the two
cities Trent and Trieste are reported
as having fed from their cities.
The German forces continue
to advance in Galicia. Their only re-
verse has been at Seiniaw and the
river San, where the Russians gained
minor victory.
Reports from Vienna indicate that
a campaign to recapture Przemysl will
be instituted Immediately and that the
same tactics employed by the Russians
when they took the fortress from the
Hungarians, will be pursued. 1t is
proposed to isolate the fortress and

WILSON EXPECTS

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-Ger-
many's reply to the note sent by the
United States Immediately after the
sinking of the Lusitania, will probably
be delivered to the state department
sometime today. 1t is understood that
it will be transmitted to the German
embassy this afternoon, via cable, and
that Ambassador Won Bernstorff will
deliver it in person to Sec
retary Bryan.
Unofficial advices state Germany
will propose postponement of any def
mite action on the part of the United
States until it can be ascertained if
the Lustania was not listed by the
British admiralty as an auxiliary
cruiser. Germany stoutly maintains
that the Lusitania not only carried
but was in reality an En-
glish warship.

HOME
SEEKERS POINT

Information has just reached the
desk of President Carr s. Glover, of
the Chamber of Commerce that on and
after July 9th, 1915, homeseekers rates
will be granted by the Southern, Sea-
board and Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
roads to Americus from Eastern and
Northwestern points.
For many months several of our
prominent citizens have been trying to
secure this concession for Americus.
1t had been hanging fire for sometime
as the railroads could not get together
on the matter. The matter was taken
up by the Chamber of Commerce with
Mr.. Fred C. Geiger secretary of the
National Pecan Groves Company of
Flintside and Washington. He went
actively to work and had the railroads
agreed to make Americus a Home
seekers Point. Many hundreds of
prospective buyers of farms and
homes can come direct to Americus
and have their tickets validated at
this point and not have to go to the
inconvenience of travelling to some
little point beyond Americas to get
this done as it has been in the past
years.
Our real estate men can advertise
these rates and draw hundreds of
good people of the north and west to
see the best section for farming in
the State of Georgia
An effort will now be made by the
Chamber of Commerce to ask for
tourists rates and stop over privileges
for Americus and we will try and get
many northern epople to come here
and winter with US.

has produced a cabbage weighing 25
pounds and challenges the world to
show its equal. The cabbage was
raised in Thomas county and after
being shown to local admiring throngs
it will be brought to the state capt.

1t was raised by Mr.. Kivler, on the
farm of H. NJ. Hanna, six miles from
Thomasville, and is said to be a per-
feet specimen, normal in every way,
except for tis gigantic size.
1t bears out, too, the belief that
cabbages and other garden truck can
be grown to great size in Georgia un-
der proper conditions. Already some
of the largest tomatoes ever seen
have been produced in this state.
