BOY DISAPPEARS
ON VISIT HERE
Clark England, of Cobb,
Being Sought By
Father

Herbert England, a farmer living
near Cobb, is much distressed by
the disappearance in Americus last
Monday of his 14-year old son, Clark,
who came here to have tooth pulled
by dentist and has not been heard
from since. Today Mr.. England ap-
pealed to the Times-Recorder to as
sist in locating the boy or bringing
him some news of his whereabouts.
The boy bought a ticket at Cobb
Monday morning and boarded the
"Shoo Fly" Seaboard train for Am
ericus. When he did not return home
his father came to Americus and in
quiring among the dentists here found
that the boy had not visited any of
them. Thinking the demand for peach
pickers about Fort Valley might have
attracted him, Mr. England next Wis
tied that vicinity but found no trace
of him.
The boy is described as having a
dark complexion and dark eyes. He
was wearing blue serge trousers when
he left home, and dark colored coat
of mixed material, with belt. He was
barefooted but wears No. 5 shoe.
His father asks anyone having any
knowledge of the boy to wire or tel
ephone him at his expense at Cobb,
Ga.

Tax Returns Reveal a
Real Sport in Sumter

E. j. Young, postmaster at Leslie,
is l of Sumter county tax payers who
has the full sympathy of the board of
county tax assessors, according to
members of that body who have just
finished revising his tax returns. No
change was made in value of prop
erty returned by Mr.. Young and the
unusual thing about the whole mat
ter is that he returned his dogs as
being worth more than his household
and kitchen furniture. He made no re-
turn either of real estate or personal
property of any description except
that noted. In his return he says his
household goods are worth $50, which
the assessors accepted as fair valua-
ton, and that he owns dogs worth
500, a figure which the assessors
recognized as rather high, but after
some discussion concluded that every
man knows the value of his dogs bet
ter than any one else. Investigation
revealed that Young is a fancier of
fine dogs, and that he has a number
of blooded specimens on which he
pays taxes.

Arthur Rylander, Jr.,
Has Narrow Escape

Coming from Atlanta to Americus
last night in Studebaker 6, driv-
ing alone, Arthur Rylander, Jr., had
a narrow escape from death when his
car was overturned at a point 6 miles
this side of Culloden. He had been
attending Georgia Tech during the
past session and was driving at a
rapid rate when the accident oc-
Cured. Although pinned under the
heavy machinery for twenty minutes
before being extricated by persons
living nearby, he escaped serious in
jury, only being scratched and bruis-
ed.
A singular feature of the acci-
dent is found in the fact that although
the car was completely overturned
and landed upside down, the engine
did not stop operation until the sup
ply of gasoline was shut off, due to
the breaking of the pipe only bent
at first. e=
First information concerning the
accident reached Americas when
young Rylander reached telephone
and communicated with his brother.
Walter Rylander Shortly after $50
O'Clock he and Emory Rylander went
up to Culloden and returned with the
injured lad about midnight

MOSQUITOLEAVES
TRAIL OF DISEASE

The whole country is infested with
Mosquitoes. The Government Health
Service and every other agency
known to man is being used to exter-
inmate them. Once they were looked
upon as an arshoyaTce only; scien-
lists now know that they leave in
their wake deadly disease germs, es-
pecially Malaria. Those who are in
a position to know, vouch for the fact
that they have been the cause of more
diseases and death than all the wars
from the beginning of time.
MOSQUITOES will probably never be
exterminated. We can, however. by
proper screening and spraying Of our
homes daily with TORMENT, rid our
household of them.
TORMENT is a gaseous vapor in

MANGET DECLINES TO
TALK TO WHOLESALERS
Replies With Sharp Telegram to Courteous Invita-

Meeting Today

Extended a courteous invitation
through Frank Lanier, of Americus,
to address the Southwestern Jobbers'

Manget, of Atlanta, fair price COM
missioner for Georgia, has replied
in a sharp telegram that he has moth

cheap advice" defed the law and
ignored and misconstrued his rulings.
He declares he has absolute evidence
on numerous wholesalers and retail
ers in this section, but is holding up
prosecutions to see what effect the
conviction of the Oglesby Wholesale
Grocery Co., of Atlanta, which was
fined $4,000 this week for sugar
protiteering, will have.
Mr.. Lanier's letter, a most courte
GUS epistle, urged Mr.. Manget to be
present at the Albany meeting to-
day to talk to the wholesalers. He
declared the association would pay
all of his expenses and desired very
much to hear him in person, stating
that he did not believe there was a
man in this section who desired to
violate the law, and expressing the
belief that talk from him would do
a world of good. Mr.. Manget has
forwarded Mr.. Lanier's letter to the
Times-Recorder, together with copy
of his telegram in reply, and also
brief letter to the Times-Recorder
asking it to tell the people that prof
iteering in Americas and other cities
must stop Immediately"
