exact a profit from the purchaser. Big profits are not honest or legiti

that merchandise at a reasonable price. Tais store believes in the
modest profit. Its business is conducted upon the “live and let live”
principle, to this as much as anything else do we attribute our growth
in public favor, what you buy here jou buy right, no other kind of

GREAT SUCCESS OF SCHOOLS
Pub'ic Schools of Americus to Close j
June 14th With Largest Graduating
Class Ever Known Here—Session |
Has Been a Successful One.
The public eohools of Americus,rank
ing among the most thorough and com
plete of like kind in the country, wil
close the spring session June 14tb,only
four weeks hence, and the most suo«
oessful term in years is thus fast com
iug;«o an end '
Already the pupils are busy with ex
aminaiions, and on Jane 14 h the larg
est cla?s ever graduated from Furlow
School will quit that place of learning
to assume other duties.
The graduating class this term num
bers twenty-five members.
Fnquently in years past the number
of graduates has exceeded twenty, and
ts always largo, but mv,r before baß a
q tarter hundrtd pupils fimshed to
getbtr the course of eltveD years. But
the class of 1906 will bear tha* ra‘her
pri ud distil c ion
Atd the a’tetdunce Ibis ytar, like
the number of has been the
largest in the history of the school —a
his ory < f a quarter of a century of prt -
gresa a d great prosperity alike.
Prib.bly fourteen hundred pupils
are enrolled this year, and the attend,
aooe has been hi* hly satisfactory. Iu
all truth, the schools have been filled
to their utmost capacity,a fact pointing
to the necessity for enlarged facilities
at an early date.
The nsual oral examinations Hill pre
cede the closing exercises in June,
while the graduation exercises will
take place at the opera house as usual.
And even now the fair girl girl gradu
ate anticipates fondly that grra’est
epooh in ber school life.
Superintendent A. G. Miller and his
v.iry able corps of teachers have cause
for congratulation upon the snoaess of
the term now ending
A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep
tical of Its Truth.
If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks’ time.
It must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
baldness is the destruction of the germ—
which act is successfully accomplished
in one hundred per cent, of cases by
the application of Newbro’s Herpicide.
Dandruff is caused by the same germ
which causes baldness and can be pre
vented with the same remedy—Newbro’s
Herpicide.

cause you remove the effect.”

GIVES A DECISION IN
CASE OF OLD BANK.
Liability of the Stockholders
Settled
OPINION FROM SUPREME COURT
Bank cf Americas Case Is Deter
mined Before That Tribunal —Hold-
ers of Stock at Time of Receiver
ship Atore Liable for Debt.
The Sat feme Coart of the State has
just rendered a decision in the case of
the defanct Bank of Amerious, holding
that only those who held stock in the
broken bank at the time of sait against
the stockholders can now be held liable
for its indebtedness
This decision affirms that of Jadge
Fpenoe, who presided here in a trial of
this important case a year or two ago.
His decision was affirmed in part and
reversed in part.
The part affirmed is that given ab.ve
rela'ive to the liability if stockholders
at time of $ ait.
Spence decided, and his de
cision is upheld by the Supreme Court,
that stockholders who had sold and
transferred their sto?k in the old bank
prior to the receivership, could not be
held liable for the debts of the defunct
institution.
And the Supreme Court, in affirming
that dtcisioD.affjrds relief to hundreds
of innocent people here.
Upon the other hand the Supreme
Court reversed Judge Spence upon the
point that the receiver for the old bank
could not bring suit upon the judg
ment previously secured by creditors,
holding that such judgment was prima
faoie evidence cf indebtedness.
This referred to the suit brought by
6aid creditors against the receiver of
the old Bank of Americas.
Under this decision, the hundreds of
people who owned stock in the old
bank daring the long years preceding
its oollapse are not liable for its debts
under the ‘‘liability clause” in the
bank’s charter, though they gave no
notice of sale of stock.
The ultimate liability of stockhold
ers, who at the time of the'tack’s fail
are in 1893 held stock therein, is not
yet fully determined.
The case’is one of greatest interest
to hnndrids of people in Americas and
throughout the state.
Under the “liability clause” in the
charter if the old Bank of Americas
all stockholders were made liable for
its indebtedness, unless at the time of
sale or transfer of stock public notice
of snch sale was given by legal publi
cation.
Few knew of such requirement or
provision, and no transfers, or few,
were eyer published.
After the bank failed, northern cred
itors brought suit against all the stock
holders for the enormous deb*s of the
old bank.
Among these were included stock
holders who years and years before
the bank failed bad sold their stock.
These stockholders are scattered over
Georgia and a dozen states, or dead.
But all were made defenders to this
great suit..
The decision of the Supreme Court
will thus bffjrd relief of all who did
nothold stock when the bank collapsed.
