was predicted by all, the fast
est and prettiest game of baseball
played on the local diamond this
• year was uncorked yesterday, when
the river boys from Macon county
, brought their hired players down to
wipe out the former defeates by the
Americus team. J
So sure were the visitors of vic
tory that they brought two of their
regular teaiji, instead of hiring all
nine. For Montezuma Abercombie did
the flinging, but jrom all who saw
the game they say he hasn't a thing
on Bynum. And if you will study
the following score, you will think
so too. Farris, a fellow who grows
by playing ball, received for Monte
zuma. Shipley did stunts behind
for us. In the first Hooks got a neat
single and on error of third goes to
second. Things looked good, sure
enough when Bynum got to first
by "Big Four” route, but our hopes
were dampered when the next three
were easy outs.
The game was marred here by a
small mix up by Abercombie and
Simpson, they being old rivals of
the diamond, having played on differ
ent teams in the preps for several
years. They were separated., by
players after sevral blows were pass
ed.
In the sixth when only one was
down and two on bases a swift one
wefit to Hooks, who making a pretty
pickup, tossed it to Simpson, he
throwing to first. This undoubtedly
saved the game. We had two good
chances. 1 n seventh, with only one I
down. Dunn hit a terrific drive J
over center’s head, but was oftt in
trying to stretch it into a triple. The
Other came in the last of the ninth.
With two gone, Simpson came up'
for a beautiful bunt, and beat it out,
advancing his man to third. But all
Hancock could do was to pop out
to first. This ended the game. A
slight rain fell throughout the en
tire game but the fans stuck to their
post. It was too dark to continue.

The Story of a Medicine.
Its name—" Golden Medical Discovery*
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients Golden
Seat root.
Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex
tract from our most valuable native me
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by tho uso of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and l
kindred derangements was first made, as
It ever sinae has Men, without a particle
of alcohol ip its mal\-up. *■'

RICHMOND, VA„ July 26.—Thomas
Fortune Ryan and his associates in
the world of finance have on foot a
plan to make the Seaboard Air lane
one of the greatest coal-carrying roads
in the country by opening up an en
ormous coal field in Virginia and
connecting it with the Seaboard Air
Line by means of a 200-mile railway
line, now being built and known as
the South and Western railway.
The news comes with peculiar force
at this time, when persistent ru
mors of a receivership for the Sea
board Air Line are abroad and when
the earnings of that road have fallen
to so low an ebb that for the last
six, months not even * fixed charges
have been paid by freight and pass
enger traffic.
From a reliable source comes the
information that 1,000,000 acres of
coal lands have been purchased by
the Clinchfield Coal Company, the
holding company for the syndicate in
which are Messrs. Ryan, Blaiiv of
Blair & Co., Norman B. Reame and

For a great many years doctors pro

failing to cure with 'local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional

BURTON MAY QUIT
MIS JOB
To Resign as Head of Riv=
er and Harbors
> TO DEVOTE HIS TIME TO GANALS
n Greatly Interested in Project to Give
Great Waterway From the Lakes
} 1o the Gulf-Would Decidely
i Lower Rail Rates.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 26.
The rumor is being revived that Rep
resentative Burton, of Cleveland,
t Ohio, will resign his chairmanship of
the River and Harbor Committee in
’ the next Congress and devote the
greater portion of his time to the
work of the Inland Waterways Com
' mission, of w'hich he is a member.
President Roosevelt is greatly in
terested in the waterways proposi
tion, which looks to the establish
ment of a connecting link between
the great lakes of the Desplaines and
Illinois rivers, and giving the Miss
issippi River a depth down at Cairo
of fourteen feet. The commission
also is charged with the duty of im
proving the head waters of the Mis
sisippi, in order that disastrous floods
may be prevented.
President Roosevelt is convinced
that ship connection between the
lakes and the Gulf is one of the great
works Congress should undertake,
and after his summer vacation he
will visit the convention to be held
in Memphis, at which this question
will be considered. In his annual
message to Congress legislation for
this purpose will be suggested, as
will also legislation giving the com
mission authority it does not now
possess. The commission was orig
inally appointed by the President,
without authority of Congress, and
no appropriation was therefore avail
able.
Would Lower Rail Rates.
The Sixtieth Congress will bo ex
pected to provide the necessary
funds, and the President believes Mr.
Burton is the one public man today
thoroughly equipped for this great
work. Mr. Burton’s duties as chair
man of the committee having charge
of all river and harbor improvement
matters are too heavy to permit him
to give the attention to this project
lie would like, and it was said yester
day that there is no doubt that he
will retire from the head of the River
and Harbor Committee, thus leaving
a most desirable chairmanship at ,
the disposal of the Speaker when
the Sixtieth Congress convenes.
Chairmen Burton is in hearty sym
pathy with the railroad policy of j
President Roosevelt, and he realizes
that nothing of greater benefit to
the people of the country at large
could be done than to give them the
competition that would come . from
opening up this link between the
lakes and the Mississippi River, for
the reason that increased water trans
portation naturally will bring about
more effective competition with the
railroads and compel a reduction in
rates. Mr. Burton's standing in Con
gress is such that If he gives his
time to this work Congress undoubt
edly will soon authorize its com- [
mencement.
AMERIGUS LOOMS IN GRANDSTAND
%
formidable Array of Business Men
There.
When fourteen Americus men,
mostly antis, boarded the train here
Tuesday for Atlanta nothing strange
was thought of it, as all had announ
ced their mission one of business.
All were married men, but the ab
sence of any wife, or wives, occa
sioned no suspicion whatever, inas
much as they were thus tearing them
selves from home and family to at
tend to business in Atlanta, it was
a source of regret to leave home,
but the call of business was the call
of duty, and a true and tried Ameri
cusonian never shirks duty. It was
a long, hot, dusty ride of 174 miles to
Atlanta, but business had sufhmoned
these fourteen, and they were happy
on the way to respond to duty’s call.
The train arrived in Atlanta at
noon. Three hours thereafter a quiet
observer, occupying a rear seat in the
grandstand at the ball park, was at
tracted by the riotous yells of exulta
tion arising from one particular lo
cality every time Atlanta nrade a hit.
He looked thither, and located four
, teen Americus married men grouped
together. One rang a huge cow bell
to assist the noisemaking, while others
■ yelled a glad acclaim and threw le-
mons at the Memphians, it was such
delightful relaxation from “business”
and no one at home would be any
the wiser. And most of the four
teen are there yet, attending strict
ly “business” and backing the home
team.
DEATH OF ROBERT L. BERNER. JR.

day morning at 2:30 o’clock at a

the parents and a number of friends,
the body was taken to Forsyth Thurs
day morning, where funeral services
