OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS

to learn that he is now convale-
scent and may soon be restored to
health. ftsiaI
Mrs. John A. Cobb returned
yesterday from Macon where she
has been visiting for several days.
1t is learned that Mr.. and Mrs.
Stephen R. Johnson will in a short
timej establish business on Lamar
street, near Buehanans store,
where they will have a variety
store, conducted under the juris-
diction of Mrs. johnson.
That competition is the life of
trade" is well evidenced in the
position Of the Americas cotton
market which, as usual is well
above any other interior market in
this section of Georgia. Vested
day Americas buyers readily
paid 10 IL cents for the finer
grades, while 10 3-8 was the cur
renut for the other grades.
Miss Beasie Bivins returned
home yesterday after a visit of
some length to her sister, Mrs. w.
Bivins, in Milledgeville.
The latest addition to the ranks
of those who follow the pillow is
Col. Lawson Stapleton, who pur-
chased yesterday the J. ]. Parker
place of near 800 acres, west of
Americas. He will not beat his
new $50 Terrell sword into
plOughshare, literally, ortrade his
glittering uniform for hickory
shirt, but he will try farming as
a side line nevertheless. The rural
retreat will be called "Posumnal
Paradise and will compare in re-
suits with Col. Wheatley "Moon-
shine" farm.

THE SAME THING CAN
BE PUT OVER HERE.

With an investment of not more
than 100000 a company of
Newman capitalists have organized
a knitting mill to be located at
Carrollton that will employ 200
people.
AS a rule, there are an average
of three workers from each family.
The above concern will give en-
ployment to or will bring in to
Carrollton between IS and 80
families.
The Newman men leased for five
years the old Bradley warehouse,
a large brick building, in which
machinery viii be installed.
We have a few miles out the old
government warehouse, which can
be adapted to a similar purpose at
not too great cost.
An initial order for 200 knitting
machines was placed by Newman
men, it is stated, and the 100000
capital is said to be sufficient for
1iemodeling building, buying ma
chineEy and furnishing operating
capital.
A pay roll of this nature means
great deal to Americas. Stock in
similar concerns have paid inves-
tors enormous dividends in the
past few years.
What Newman men have done,
can be duplicated in Americas,
and one mill of this kind usually
leads to the erection of others.

MEDICAL JOURNALS WILL
BE DISCUSSING THIS.

At some unknown date in the
future, your heart will stop beat
ing. What then2 Death, of course.
But what is death? Read the
strange case of eight-year-old
Jack Leaney, of Stratford, Canada.
He was i'll, in agony. At 10
O'clock at night, his heart flutter-
ed and ceased beating. Physicians
applied every test known to
science. "It's all over" they an
nounced gravely. THE lad is
dead"
But shortly after midnight,
two hours later, his heart began
beating again. He breathed. Life
was miraculously restored, though
only for three hours. At in the
morning, he died for the second
time. This death was final. Jack
Leaney is buried, gone into the
hereafter.
Medical journals soon will be
discussing this.
1t is possible to bring a man
back to life" after the heart has
stopped beating, by injecting
adrenalin, most powerful of heart
stimulants. But only under GER
tain conditions, usually when the
sick man expires from the anaes-
thetic during an operation. Even
then, according to medical rule,
adrenalin must be injected within
a few minutes after the heart
stops beating.
The Jack Leaney case is one of
the greatest mysteries in medical
history. The doctors, of course,
finally will decide that the lads

tion of suspended animation, form

Stations POLITICAL DEFEAT

Recently in these columns it
was stated that the Frank case
was the cause of Jack Slaton's
downfall in Georgia politics. To
this Uncle jim Williams of the
Greensboro Herald Journal re-
piled for the sake of keeping
the record straight. We had
differend with the Crawfordville
Acknowledgements upon the
claim that it was the tax equali-
cation law which brought Slaton
down, which defeated Hardwick,
and which will in the end prove
Walkers undoing.
The Herald Journal recites
developments at the Slaton-
HardYick-Felder convention in
Macon at which Slaton, with the
largest popular vote, was traded
out of the senate by a combina-
ton of the Hardwick and Fielder
votes. This following the claim
of Senator Hoke Smith that
President Wilson wanted Hard
wick to help make the Wilson
administration effective at
Washington.
We still hold that the Frank
Case was the undoing of Slaton
if he was politically undone.
Watson's incendiary connection
with that case caused the turn
it took. To have lost an office
by combination in a convention
was not enough for the down.
fall of one of Slaton's ability.
The Frank case finish done in
Watson style was the real dose
of poison.
Referring to this case John
Herring in his Triton Gazette
recently wrote these kindly
words:
SIN connection, it is interest
ing to note that Slaton is far
away from turmoil of Georgia
politics. He and Mrs. Slaton
are on a honeymoon anniversary
tour of Europe. A postcard re-
ceived from him three weeks ago
told that he was viewing the
Swiss Alps and one received this
week tells that he is in Belgium.
1t is like the big-hearted Jack
Slaton to remember his FRIENDS,
even while he is on a vacation
trip.
'It is useless to speculate, but
nevertheless interesting, to think
what a difference it would have
made in Georgia's record in the
National Congress during the
World War and in the political
record of the State since, had
the man receiving the highest
vote of the people in that Sena-
torial race been given a square
deal. "-Cordele Dispatch.

q Sop T' A' s.1 r9ss' Daily Poem
By
Berton Braley
SOAP

SOAP
l sing of Soap! Though 7 might sing
Of other matters broad in scope,
In fact of almost anything,
l sing of Soap!
Soap, which removes the grit and grimee
That comes from sweat and toll and stress,
Soap-its lather which we climb
To cleanliness.
The simple savage knows it rot,
But sits wnhin his jungle patch,
Forever finding sme new spot
That he must scratch.
But slip some soap to him and show
Its proper use; you'll be surprised
How rapidly he'll start to grow
More civilized
Disease and dirt stalk hand in hand,
And with them it is hard to cope.
But in real progressive land
There's always Soap
And this thought bubbles in my bean,
Like soda water in a cup,
The nation rich in soap will clean
The others up
Perhaps when tried out in the wash
Mine may prove unveracious dope,
But till that moment comes, b'gosh,
sing of Soap
