SESSION OF COURT IS
GOING TO BE SHORT.
Docket is Lightest in Sev
eral Years.
CIVIL BUSINESS IS VERY LIGHT.
And Docket Can Easily Be Disposed'
of In First Week=-Criminal Bus
iness for the Term is Light
as Well.
The sesion of Sumter superior court
convening tomorrow gives promise of
being the shortest in several years un- ,
less, perchance, the grand jury develops
an unexpected volume of business, and
even in this event many cases will bai
sent to the city court.
The civil docket to be taken tomorrow i
is unusually light, less than a half
dozen new cases having been entered
thereupon for the term.
Os course there are a number of cases
carried over for cause from previous
terms of the court, but the belief is
expressed that all cases ready lor tria -
can be disposed of within a week.
And on the criminal side the outlook '
is equally encouraging. There are two '
negro killing cases to be tried, but \
these will not consume a great deal of
time. Indictments in many misde- j
meanor cases will be returned, for trial (
at the next term of city court.
The grand jury to serve at this term i
js in exceptionally able body of citizens, |
and these will go very carefully into j
the affairs of the courty. It is expected
that some recommendations to be j
made at the close of the term will be of
special public interest.
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn has returned
from Florida, refreshed from his brief
outing there, and will preside at this
session of court as usuai.

If any considerable number of the above

all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at

Every ingredient entering into "Fa

dorsement of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools of prac
tice-more valuable than any amount of
non-professional testimonials—though the
latter are not lacking, having been con

in numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for

You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as a substitute

AMERICUS GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING. MAY 26. 1907.
THE AMERICUS HOSPITAL”
A Noble Institution Now Nearing It’s
Second Birthday.
Christian Women Have Done Much to Insure It’s Main
tenance and the Perpetuation of
It’s Useful Work,
If there is oue public institution iu
| the city of Americus that is worthy of
a united public support, of continued
public approval, and of the continued
! erood wishes of all, it is the Americiis
I hospital on Barlow street.
During the two years of its useful
life, for it will have been in existence
two years next month, its doors liav
j ing been opened to the sick of tlie com
munity in June 1905, eighty or more
patients have been received, of whom
fully twenty five per cent, have been ,
I cared for with the utmost skill of its
j corps of physicians and nurses without
the payment of a single cent.
| Tne hospital was established for a
[ double purpose, that of providing a
refuge for the destitute who might be
| come ill, where they could be assured
the best of medical treatment and
J nursing without regard to their
i financial condition,and also to accomo
! date residents and visitors with amplo
! means who might yet prefer the
s iperior accomodations and service
| that are generally to be found in an
up-to-date hospital.
In both of these respects'the Ameri
cus hospital has been a success from
the moment the first patient crossed
its threshold until now.
In so far as the unfortunate without
money is concerned, its motto might
well be said to be: ‘•lnasmuch as
Tin Americus Hospital on Barlow Street.
f 1 hoto by Keily ]
ye have done it unto the least of these,
ye have done it unto me.” ‘‘Knowing
no creed, its mission has been to re
lieve suffering humanity without ques
tion as to their antecedents.
It has done a noble work so far,
and its past is a guarantee that in the
fu ure it will be conducted along the
same broad lines of Christian useful
ness.
This noble institution was the out
come of the discussion of local phy
sicians, who felt the need of such a
refuge for the sick, and was the direct
result of a movement to that end in
augurated by Rev. L. G. H. Williams,
then the rector of Calvary Episcopal
church, and Rev. J. L. Irvin, pastor of
the Presbyterian church. These two
and others started a subscription
movement, enthused noble women of
the city, who held a bazaar which was
highly successful, netting probably
$1,300, and secured the active co oper
ation of the Americus pnysicians.
With such active workers iu the
field it was inevitable that the move
ment should materialize into the de
sired hospital.
The old T. M. Furlow home, on Bar
low street, was leased for three years,
and the work of converting it into a
hospital began, the Americus Hospi al
Association having been organized
among the men, with ithe Ladies
Auxiliary working unitedly with it.
Two of the rooms were furnished by
private individuals, one in memory of
Dr. E. J. Eldridge by his son, Mr. G.
Morgan Eldridge, the other by Mrs.
Jas. Dodson, in memory of her daugh
ter, Miss Emma Dodson.
Out of the proceeds of the bazaar re
ferred to, and a second one, which net
ted over S7OO, the remaining rooms
were furnished satisfactorily. The hos
pital is now well equipped for its work
throughout. Its opeiatinp room is one
of the finest in the=state, undoubtedly
the best in southwestern Georgia, with
hard finished walls, cement floor, and
all the latest equipment for successful
surgical work.
The cost of maintaining the hospital
is about $3,000 a year. The funds re
ceived from the pay patients has not
been adequate to meet the cost of
maintenance. To assist the manage
ment in its financial affairs the City
of Americus has made two appropri-

ations, also of SSOO each, and the
County Commissioners two appropri
ations, of SSOO each.
W ith this $2,000, and the funds from
other sources, the hospital has been
kept out of debt and in position to do
its work effectively.
The finances of the institution are
administered bv the Americus Hos
pital Association, composed of citizens,
the present officers of which are; Presi
dent, Arthur Rylander; Vice-President,
.Charles R. Crisp; Secretary, Rev. J,
L. Irvin; Treasurer, G. M. Eldridge.
The Ladies’ Auxiliary, one of the
finest working bodies of women in the
state of Georgia, has been indefatigable
m its efforts to promote the interests
of the institution. It is no reflec
tion on others to say that but for the
persistent, aggressive and continued
labors of these ladies the hospital
would doubtless never have been
established, or have become what it is
to-day.
The Auxiliary has fifty members, the
officers at present being; Mrs. Prest.
P.C. Clegg; Vice-president, Mrs. C. C.
Hawkins; Secretary, Mrs. R. L. May
nard; Treasurer. Miss Sebie Wooten.
The actual management of the hos
pital is in the hands of a Board of Phys
icians, composed of Dr. R. E. Cato,
chairman; Dr. J C. Field, secretary;
Dr. T. A. Chappell, Dr. W. S. Prather,
Dr. G. T. Miller.
These gentlemen supervise the entire
practical working of the •‘institution.
Two of the physicians are assigned, by
tarns, each month to care for the free
patients. Every thing that medical
J skill can do is done for those who
enter the hospital regardless as to
whether they have means or not.
Miss. Maude Crow has been matron
and head nurse of the hospital for near
ly two years. She is a graduate nurse,
who came to Americus from the Halc
yon hospital, Atlanta. She has proved
an exceedingly capable, experienced
and valuable manager, and it was
with the deepest regret that the mana
gers of the hospital learned a few days
ago of her intention to leave Americus
in June. Miss Crow will return to
her home in Kentucky,
The physicians and others connected
with the hospital speak in the highest
terms of her highly efficient work and
the concientious performance of all
of her important duties during the
period she has been connected with the
hospital. She will be succeeded by
Miss Scruggs, who comes from the
Park View Sanitarium, in Savannah.
Miss Crow has as her assistant Miss
Minnie Newman, who has been
associated with the hospital for over a
year. When occasion requires other
nurses are called in.
The lease on the present quarters has
over a year to run yet. It is hoped
that before the expiration of that time
steps can be well* under way for the
erection ot a hospital building. It is
felt that one adequate to the local
needs for some years could be erected
at a cost of probably $5,000 or $6,000,
and be better adapted to tho work than
the present quarters, or any building
that could be rented.
It is also the hope of the physicians
and others who are interested in the
institution some day it can be develop
ed into a training school for nurses,
and the sphere of its usefulness corres
pondingly broadened.
The hospital has well justified hopes
and faith of its founders. It is hardly
probable that there will ever come a
time when there will be such a lack of
public or humanitarian spirit in
Americus that the hospital will not be
supported with sufficient liberality to
insure its continuance.

TROOPS TO MARCH TO
THE FRONT AS USUAL
Company L Ordered to
Anderson
DECORATIOS Os FEDERAL GRAVES
Usual Exercises at National Cemetery
- on May 30, But Usual Negro
Orgie on the Outside is to
Be Eliminated.
The Americas Light Infantry, under
j command of Captain Chas. E. Van
I Riper, has been ordered by Gov. Ter-
I reli to report for duty at Andersonville
next Thursday, 30th, although the oc
casion, from the military standpoint
I will be tame as compared with others
! there.
| The memorial exercises at the Na
tional Cemetery, where fourteen thous
and Union soldiers are buried, will
doubtless take place as usual under
supervision of the Grand Army posts.
The services of the military, as here
tofore, will be tendered the committee
for firing salutes and preserving order.
But outside the walls of the National
Cemetery the scene will be in striking
I contrast with that of former occasions,
( and the Light Infantry will not be
called upon to quell riots and arrest
! gamblers, murderers and bad men gen
j erally as before.
For the excursion feature is wholly
eliminated this year.
J There will be no assembling of teem
( ing thousands of bad negroes from the
turpentine regions of south Georgia
and Alabama who, in years past, would
come to this otherwise sacred spot to
i l iulge in hideov s orgies and terrify
the populace.
Not an excursion train will operate
next Thursday to Andersonville from
any section.
However, the Light Infantry will re
■ port for duty there to Sheriff E. L. Bell
I and Mayor Williams. The men will
go in light marching order, with trav
j eling rations and twenty rounds riol
cartridges for emergency, although no
trouble is now apprehended.
The troops will sleep in the armory
Wednesday night, going to Anderson
ville by the regular 5 o’clock Central
train Thursday morning.
WATER EMPLOYED IN MAKING ICE
i
City Ice Company Tells of Means
Employed.
To The Pritr.ro: —There has been
quite a lot of talk concerning the water
used in making our ice. The report is,
that the water comes from the overflow
of a swimming pool at Prospect Park*
We wish to say that the water used in
the pool is only a part of the water
that comes from the numerous springs
in that locality.
The total supply from the springs is
about 175 gallons per minute and
nothing like this amount comes through
the pool. Then apain, water purifies
itself by running oyer and through the
sand, and as it is about one half mile
from our factory to the springs, this
water would be purified long before it
reaches us.
All water used in making our ice is
boiled with 550 degrees of heat, which
kills every germ in it. It is then dis
tilled, and afterwards reboiled; then it
is filtered and goes into the ice cans,
no water can be purer or better.
It is a frequent occurrence for drug
gists to send to our plant for distilled
water to be used in compounding their
drugs.
There is another thing in the manu
facture of ice in the absorption and
compression system; YOU CANNOT
GET CRYSTAL ICE WITHOUT DIS
TILLING THE WATER, and anyone
can see at a glance bv looking at our
clear, hard ice, that it has been dis
tilled.
Crystal ice, therefore, is a guartintee
ofdistilled Water, free from every germ,
microbe and disease.
So much for distilled water. It is a
fact that we use this water, but we
use it for cooling purposes, and we use
j the City water for making our ice.
Our plant is open for inspection at all
times.
| Our competitors have made capital
of this report in order to injure our
trade, and it is an unfair manner in
trying to defeat competition. We have
spared no money nor energy to give
the public the very best service, to
gether with absolutely the very best
and purest ice.
What more can you ask; what more
can you expect? Yours truly
! City Ice Co.
