BELIEF 01 GROWER
Recunt Cold Has Caught
the Trees
MR. BROADFIELD SO CONCLUDES
Makes A Careful Examination of His
Orchard and Thinks Eighty Per
cent of the Young Peaches
Are Dead Already.
In the opinion of Mr. C. T, Broad
field, one of the most successful peach
growers in Sumter the recent cold
caught the young peaches and the
crop this year will be almost a total
failure. Mr. Broadfield called at the
l imes-Recorder i office yesterday and
stated that the condition r of his trees,
which is bad is probably that of other
growers here. Since the petals have
ialleu, Mr. Broadfield says, the fruit is
found to be dead, and not twenty
percent of the young peaches will
reach maturity. He • was preparing to
place orders for crates for shipping
fruit, but will not do so now. The
weather during the past week has
been unusually severe and unfavora- i
ble for fruit, while the recent freeze '
here doubtless settled the fate of the [
orop to a great extent'as well.

RIGHT BRHING CURES CATAREATRH. 1
j
Simple Way to Kill Catarrhal Germs
in Nose, Throat and Lungs.
If you cut your finger, you don’t at- '
tempt to heal it by swallowing a pill
or a dose of medicine.
It is just as foolish to try and cure 1
catarrh of the nose and throat with
pills and stomach dosing, for catarrh
is a local disease, and needs speci.il
local healing treatment.
The only natural and common sense
method known for the cure of catarrh- j
al troubles is Hy-o-mei. It is breathed
through an ingenious pocket inhaler,
so that its medicated air reaches the
most remote air-cells of the nose,throat
and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, j
soothing the irritated mucous mem- j
braues. aud restoring a healthy eondi-
tion.
If you suffer from catarrhal troubles,
such as offensive breath, raising of mu
cous, frequent sneezing, husky voice,
discharge from the nose, dropping's in
the throat, loss of strength, spasmodic
coughing, or a feeling of tightness
across the upper part of the chest, you
should begin to use Hy-o-mei at once.
It will destroy all disease germs in the
nose, throat and lungs,and provide the
blood with additoual ozone.

iulialer costs but SI.OO. So strong is
Dodson's Drug Store faith in the power
of Hy-o-mei to cure all catarrhal
troubles, that with every dollar outfit,

The Knock-out Blow.
The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular veih. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but If a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he’d have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce Is bringing
home to the public a parallel fact; that
the stomach is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring as well as in it. Wa
protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs,
but the stomach we are utterly indiffer

THEWHIPPINGOE CONVICTS
Commissioners Make Their Report After Lengthy
Investigation.
“We, the County Commissioners of
Sumter County, after thorough inves
tigation, find: There has been unne
cessary whipping bv the whipping
boss of the chaingang; we strongly
condemn this conduct, will reorga
nize the force at once, and remove from
the employ-of the County every one
who is, in our judgement, in fault.”
Respectfully,
A. T. Johnson,
J. L. Chambliss,
N. A. Ray,
• R. M. Andrews,
W. L. Thomas,
Such was the verdict of the Board of
County Commissioners, rendered yes
terday morning, and so expressed in a
letter addressed to Judge Charles R.
Crisp of the City Court and likewise
to the Times-Reeorder.
The verdict was fully justified by
the evidence adduced.
That there was unnecessary, oft
repeated and cruel whipping of con
victs at disers times was fully set
forth by the evidence of numerous
witnesses before the Commissioners.
The Times-Reeorder is unable to
give the details of the investigation,
though no fault of its own, however:
Statements of the witnesses were ta
ken in detail, but the commissioners
deemed it in-advisable to publish this
testimony, and thus suppressed it.
The notes of the press representative
were requested bv the board, and are
still in the possession of the body,
It is impossible, therefore, to give a
concise statement beyond the fact that
the testimony of several of the wit
nesses showed severe whipping of the
convicts. Other evidence was to the
effect that they were not severely
whipped, were well fed and well eared
for.
Asew 7 instances related by witnesses
would seem sufficient to warrant the
finding of the board.
Seventeen convicts were stripped
and whipped upon one occasion for the
theft of a tin dinner bucket by one of
this number. It was desired to find
the real culprit, and the whipping
UP GOES PRICE OF MILK

Butter will probably follow', s
This is sad news for the housekeepers
of the city. But it is true.
Word was brought to the Times-Re
corder yesterday that a combination

TO TRY TOBACCO IN SUMTER
Twelve Acres To Be Planted on the Ware
Plantation.
The experiment of raising tine to
bacco is to be tried in Sumter county.
As a result a start ma> be given to a
new r ibranch of agriculture that will
produce wonderful results herea
bouts.
Some time ago the Times-Reeorder
called attention to the great profits
derived from the raising of fine tobacco
in 'the Tallahassee and Quincy dis
tricts*in Florida, and in Decatur
county, Georgia, and pointed out that
the conditions as to soil, climate, etc.,
were practically the same in Sumter
county.
It is now understood that on the
Ware plantation at Maddox, about six
miles south of Americus, on the Cen
tral railroad, twelve acres are to be

one witness said that the tin buck
et was probably w orth 5 cents.
Ed Davis a negro convict, was
severely whipped for smoking a cigar
ette, with the further offense that he
did not kneel across the log with the
alacrity demanded by the whipping
boss.
In this instance it was shown That
the negro w'as blistered by the welts
made by the the strap.
One of two convicts selected out of
twenty-nine to testify in defense of
the parties thus charged stated that,
upon one occasion, the convicts were
beaten .with the root of a tree in the
hands of the man in charge of them.
Other cruelties indicted were recited
by the same, convict, who appeared be
tore the board in clanking chains, thus
making a wierd picture as he told the
story of the w'hippings received.
Other simiiiar acts were testified to
by the w itnesses,thus bearing out to an
extent the story told to Judge Crisp in
open court by Gus Nelson, a convict,
and which resulted in the request for
investigation by the commissioners.
The alleged beating with pick
handles, witnesses stated, had been
heard of by them but not seen, oecur
iug under a former administration.
Several men now connected with the
gang, as well as former guards, citi
zens and the two convicts, made lip the
testimony.
The commissioners will doubtless act
at once in accordance with the finding
of that body on yesterday.
A Card From Judge Crisp.
To The Public: I attended the in-'
vestigation of the management of the
county chain gang, and heard all the
testimony. The evidence amply and
conclusively supported the verdict of
the commissioners. I am perfectly
satisfied w'itli the result of the investi
gation. i hope the reorganization will
take place at the earliest practicable
moment. Ohari.es R. Crisp,
J. C. C. A.
advance for dairy supplies all along
I the line would be made,
j The increased cost of feed for the
cows is given as the reason for the
, agreement to advance prices of milk.
Heretofore twenty-five pint tickets
have been sold for SI.OO. Here after
the number of tickets for that money
| will be but twenty-one.
This makes the advance in the price
of milk almost twenty per cent.

Plans have been com

An investigation showed that nearly
ail of the engineering has been com
pleted and the franchises in the differ
ent cities and towns haye been passed
upon. Those of Albany and Americus
were accepted at this meeting.
At the close of the meeting there was
a session of directors of the Interurban
Constuction Company and plans for
constructing the Albany line w'ere dis
cussed. President W. J. Massee w r as
voted a handsome salary before this
concern adjourned.
put out this spring in tobacco, using
carefully selected seed. Expert hands
will have charge of the experiment
and the work xvill be conducted under
conditions favorable for securing the
best re'ults.
If the results are what are expected'
it is probable that the acreage w r ill bo
greatly extended another year, and
other farmers will take the matter up
and try tobacco culture.
If tobacco of a fine quality can be
successfully raised in the country
about Americus a tremendous stimu
lus w'ill be given to its agriculture.
With cotton, fruit, and tobacco as its
great money staples Sumter county
will bo in a position where its pro
g ess could not be checked.

PICTURE WAs INSPIRING ONE
Forty Little Missess With Their Darl
ing Dolls and Pretty Decorated
Doll Carriages Have Open
Air Festival.
One of the prettiest events that
Americus has known in some time was
the carnival of the doll babies yester
day afternoon.
The idea w'as conceived by Mary Car
ter, nurse for Mrs. L. G. Council, the
children took to it with aridity and
the result w'as an exceedingly pretty
parade of forty of the most attractive
little girls of the community, each the
proud mother of a beautifully dressed
doll in a handsomely decorated car
riage.
The carnival was at the corner of
Jackson and Lamar streets. There
little ones, with their proud mothers
and big sisters, gathered about 4:30
o’clock.
It was a most difficult matter, in such
an array of beauty, to pass upon the
merits of the respective dolls and their
conveyances. The judges were Mrs.
Thomas Harrcid, Miss Mary I.ittle-
John, Mrs. Brown Small, and Miss
Carrabelle Davenport. After a care
ful inspection of the contestants, the
prizes were aw arded as follow's:
First prize, Louise Bacot; second
prize, Ruth Council; third prize, Ruth
Wooten; fourth prize, Mary Parker,
Then the little ones muved iu a de
murely sweet procession along some of
the business thouroughfares, admired
by all. Dressed in w hite, with bright
ribbons, with their darling dolls in
their best Sunday clothes, with the
carriages decked in gay ribbons and
flowers, the children made one of the
most charming pictures ever seen on
the streets of Americus.
As one man said w hen they passed
by, it was »-whole block of condensed
loveliness, a sure promise of beautiful
women for Americus a few years
hence.
