Local Manager Wanted
Unusual Opportunity
For Right Man

A large brokerage firm doing a
successful business with well-rated
concerns throughout the country,
wants a capable man at once to de-
velop and handle their local business.
The opportunity is an unusual one
because of the possibilities offered
for substantial earnings in highly
respectable business which will stead
lily increase as it becomes more firm
ly established locally.
The position requires man pos
sessing executive and sales ability
with business experience and having
commercial banking connections, al
though no investment is necessary.
He may devote only a portion of his
time to the business at first, if desir-
ed, though we prefer man who is
able and willing to give the business
his entire time and best efforts.
The local branch should pay from
$4,000 to $4,000 the first year, ac-
cording to population, and the ability
of the manager, as the commodity
which we handle is staple, always
in demand, and which our large buy
ing facilities permit US to sell at less
than average market prices.
Owing to the demand, we must fill
this position at once. Send your ap-
plcation to Bernice Coal Co., 885
Como Bldg, Chicago, H., but do not
write unless you can satisfy us as to
honesty, reputation and business
ability. adv

CHICKEN THIEF
BELIEVED Held
Negro Taken For Car
Robbery Guilty,
Says Chief

Inc negro chicken thief who last
wednesday night visited the hen
house of w. L. Dupree on Jackson
avenue, and became the TARGET fo~
the guns OF the neighbOrhood, is in
gall, according to Chief of Police
Bragg. He is Ed Smith, a negro who
divides his time among Americus,
Cordele and Albany, and operatee
principally at night. He was ar
rested here a day or two ago bv Off
Ger Lee on word from Cordele officers
that he was wanted there for car rob-
berry. He has been returned there to
answer to that charge.
Mr.. Dupree and others who saw
the fleeing chicken thief reported that
he walked or ran on his toes. His
tracks showed this to be true with
only the left foot. An examination
of Smith after his arrest showed the
toes missing from his left foot, which
caused him to walk on the end of his
shoe. He had teen taking treatment
for several days for a sore back and
sides, which he said he sustained in
the recent freight wreck at Monte
yuma. Chief Bragg learned that he
was not in the Montezuma wreck.
however, and he declares that the
sore back and sides were caused by
the negro's fall over a fence when
Mrs. Dupree shot at him while he was
fleeing. The negro's body showed no
signs of shot, proving that all who
fired at him were poor marksmen in
the night

SPRING FEVER
Following Colds, Grip or Flu,
Thin, Watery o. Poisoned Blood
(BY DIR. VALENTINE MoTT.)

At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term spring
fever" because of a stagnant con-
dition of the blood, because OF the
toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have q poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the spring time of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers of good Alternative and
blood purifier. Such a tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It is g standard remedy
that can be obtained in tablet or
liquid form. Made without alcohol
from wild roots and barks.
N. BIRMINGHAM, ALA.-OD DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is certainly
a good medicine for deep-seated colds,
and as a tonic l have found it to be
all that could be desired. For the
last forty-five years Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Pellets have
been used in my home, for in my boy
hood days my mother used these
remedies of DIR. Pierce's and no other
medicines were ever used by her as
long as she lived. She had none but
the highest praise for them, and from
my own experience with DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for colds
and the Pleasant Pellets for bilious
ness and constipation, l know that
these medicines deserve the highest
praise that l can give."-ED. ERWIN,

Of good will to all the nations with
whose representatives he contends. Will
1t be believed, then, that the American
Olympic committee is confronted with
the need of immediate financial support
in substantial amount? This is the
exact fact. The committee is actually
facing the alternative of cutting down
our representation at Antwerp simply
because the funds in hand or in sight
are not sufficient to meet the necessary
expenses. For single man to be left
behind for such reason as this would
be shameful. 1t must not be allowed to
happen. 1t will happen unless the COM
mittee receives contributions in gen.
erous sums within the next ten days.
Let everybody who realizes how much
Is at stake rally to the aid Of our athletic
expeditionary force and end any doubt
of our sending complete team to the

of Didier since the beginning of the
war and despite the showing of Car

to see him either win or take close

the strongest Olympic team that has
ever left our shores to face competition
that has materially stiffened since the
adoption by foreign countries Of our
