Secretary Cook Says full Weight
Shall Be Given.
Secretary of State Phil Cook has
written a letter to Governor Terrell
urging the appointment of a state in
spector of weights and measures, who
shall be clotned with the fullest power
and authority to inspect at all times,
in any place, without notice, all
weights and measures, including
water, gas and electric meters, with

thority to confiscate illegal weights
and measures. General Cook recently
ateended, as representative from
Georgia, a convention of officials at
Washington, where the question of
weights and measures were discussed
at great length. It developed at the
meeting that false weights and meas
ures are in use in many sections of the
country.

Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
lairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is derangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
heaiih the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness. Nearly
a million women have found health and
happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription. It makes weak wom
en strong and sick women well. Ingredi
ents on label —contains no alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs, made
wholly of those native, American, medic
inal roots most highly recommended by
leading medical authorities of all the sev
eral schools of practice for the cure of
woman’s peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers.or for those broken
down in health by too frequent bearing of
children, also for the expectant mothers,
to prepare the system for the coming of
baby and making its advent easy and
almost painless, there is no medicine quit®
•o good as "Favorite Prescription.” It
•an do no harm in any condition of the
•ystem. It is a most potent invigorating
tonic and strengthening nervine nicely
adapted to woman’s delicate system by a
physician of large experience in the treat
ment of woman's peculiar ailments. /

[BRYAN IS TO FAVOR SMITH
Such Interesting Story Regarding the Presidency is
Being Told.
A story that is vouched for by close
I friends of William Jennings Bryan—
a story that is of interest and import
ance to the people of the entire country
has reached Washington. In brief, it
is that Mr. Bryan’s choice for the dem
ocratic presidential nomination next
year is Governor Hoke Smith,of Geor
gia, and that at the proper time Mr.
Bryan will indicate to the country
that he himself is not a candidate for
the nomination, and that, in his judg
ment, Governor Smith should be nom- :
inated.
Those who have conferred with Mr. j
Bryan in the past few months say
frankly that he regards Hoke Smith as
the best equipped man in the demobrat
ie party to meet the requirements of
the party and of the country in the
campaign next year.

Georgia School Children Asked to Pay for North Pole
Discovery.
Atlanta, May 28. —The public school
children of Georgia have been asked to
help Commander Peary discover the j
North Pole. Probably tfie same request

officials of Oregon, from which State

CANT RAISE THE RATES
ON LUMBER IN STATE
Decision as Rendered is
Important
GEORGIA SAWMILL MEN INTERESTED
Suit of Tift Against Southern Rail
way is Decided in Favor of
Plaintiff-Means Saving to
the Mill Men.
The decision of the U nited States
supreme court upholding 11. 11. Tift
and the Georgia Sawmill Association
against what was alleged to be an un
reasonable advance in rates by the
railroads in South Georgia will mean
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
lumber interests of the state.
Not only will the railroads be here
after prohibited from enforcing the ad
vance which they had placed on ship
ments from Georgia to points along the
Ohio river, but they will also be re- j
quired to restore to the lumber dealers
the full amount of excess since the rate
was put into effect two years ago.
The case, it will be recalled, origi
nated when the Southern and other
roads in Georgia advanced the rate on
lumber shipments two cents per hun
dred feet. The sawmill men, headed by
H. 11. Tift sought an injunction against
the enforcement of the rate in the
United States circuit court for the
Southern district of Georgia.
Judge Emory Speer, to whom the
petition was presented, referred the
matter to the interstate commerce com
mission.
This tribunal report that the ad
vanced rate was unjusted and unreas
onable. Thereupon Judge Speer granted
the petition. The case was appealed
by the roads to the circuit court of ap
peals at New Orleans. This court con
firmed the decision of the lower tribu
nal.
As a last resort the roads went to the
supreme court of the United States.

In his campaign for the governor
ship of Georgia Mr. Smith set out very
clearly his position and views, not
only as to state, but also to national
affairs. He fayors a strict regulation
of corporations and a rigid enforce

the statute book. While he is a re
former, he does not support the idea of
government ownership of railroads
and does not follow Mr. Bryan in

THE KICKER; HE STILL EXISTS
And Continues to Lind Fault With
the Editor.
If some day the newspaper man
should print the contents of his waste
basket there would probably be a riot.
There would certainly be trouble in
many homes, arrests imsome directions,
shotguns in others, and trouble all
around. But the patron never sees the
w r aste basket. He only glances at the
printed pages, complains it one letter
in fifty is upside down, growls his
disappointment if one name in five
hundred has happened to go wrong,
kicks because his communication,
signed “Tax Payer,’’ has been
condensed into respectable English
frowns because the editor didn’t take
his advice about publicly warning his
neighbor against throwing more melon
rinds in the alley, and is generally dis
gruntled, not so much at what he finds
as at what he fails to find. He knows his
share of the'waste basket, but if he could
have one look at the contiibutions
made to that receptacle by his neigh
bors and friends, he would thank the
Lord for the existance ot a man with
sufficient intelligence and courage not
to print all he knows, and to temper
that which he does print.
FISHES JUST HAD TO SURRENDER

A piscatorial triumvirate,Police Chief

of cats and trout yesterday in a corner

captured the entire finny outfit. When
the dominecker eatlets and other deni- '
zens of the deep peeped above the '
waves and beheld the mighty host in (
pursuit they crawled out upon the
banks of the river and surrendered.
Between three and five bushels of the
speckled beauties were captured and
brought to Americus last night.

AMERICUS MAN GIVES EXPERIENCE
Says Visitors to the Jimtown Show
Are Charged Exorbitant Prices
Eight Dollars a Day for
Board.
Americus people of modest means
will have to be content with reading
about the Jimtown Exposition, as only
the rich, the coal dealers, the ice man,
the plumber and union bricklayers can ,
stand the high food tariff demanded of
them.
Toothpicks at the leading hotels are
not sold at a dollar each, but it is
almost that bad.
An Americus cititizen who spent last
w'eek at the Exposition—or rather a
short portion of one week —tells of his
experience there.
The most reasonable hotel rates his
party ‘could find, he says, was eight
dollars per day. If that is not enough
!to stagger one w r ho figures upon a 950
round trip, or possibly 975, there are
other charges just as altitudinous.
The cheapest cigar he could find was
fifty cents, the kind that sell in Ameri
cus six for a quarter.
And the barber, too, demands the
pound of flesh when ho shaves you
and generally gets about that much on
his razor. A shave costs 25 cents, a
shampoo 50 cents, and if perchance the
razor touches your neck you pay for a
hair cut.
It costs 9P50 to go to the barber
shop, including a shoe shine.
Tn the cates and other teed stalls the
tariff is something fierce. A ham
sandwich is about the size of a month’s
salary, while a piece of chicken is the
price of a Lee street lot.
<>n every side it is graft, graft,graft of
the fiercest stripe. In the fodder joints
a waiter will not serve you until he is
tijjped.
j And there’s precious little to see for
this outlay of wealth. Very few ex
hibits are in place, and it will be weeks
yet ere the show is complete and one
can get value received for his money.
The warships are there, and really that
is pretty nearly all.
Another thing almost forgotten—the
prices; they are there.
SILVER SERVICE VERY HANDSOME
Megnificent Gift For the Battleship
Georgia.
The magnificent silver service to be
presented by the state to the battleship
Georgia has arrived in Atlanta and
placed on exhibition in the windows
of Charles Crankshaw & Co., where
thousands stop to view the various
articles.
The public had been prepared in
measure for a dazzling display of
plate, through pictures of the service,
but not prepared for anything quite so
sumptuous as the silver itself.
The state of Georgia and the various
towns contributing to the set have
done themselves proud and officers of
the battleship will be able to point with
pride to one of the handsomest services
of any vessel in the navy.

Doan’s Kidney Pills and I found them
a most excellent remedy. They placed
tmy kidneys in good condition after I
! had used less than a box, and I know
( I was getting in bad shape on account
of w'eak kidneys. Every morning the
kidney secretions would be very thick
and contained a sandy sediment. My
wife insisted that I use Doan’s Kid
j ney Pills as she heard them well
spoken of, and I sent and got a box at

Though I thought they w r ere like other
advertised remedies, I can say they
have done me more good than any
