Chew What You Know About and
1 Know What You Are Chewing
There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown—where the
best tobacco grows—in the famous
-Piedfflgat Country
Only choice
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPS. That’s why SCHNAPPS
and others of the Reynold’s brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-third of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, chewers cannot resist
the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS
because SCHNAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along —one chewer makes other
chewers —until the fact is now es
tablished that there are many more

NO BENEFIT IS 6IVEN
THE DEAR PEOPLE
In Reduction of Freight
Rates,
RELIEF FOR THEM NEVER INTENDED
Reduction in Freight Rates Helps
Only the Manufacturer, as In
tended, While the Dear
People Pay It.
ATLANTA, August 16.—Represen
tative Johnson, o£ Jasper, has intro
duced in the House a resolution pro
viding for the appointment of a com
mittee of five to investigate during
the recess and report at the next
session of the assembly why it is
that the people of Georgia are not
getting the benefit of the reduced
freight rates.
The resolution cites that many
necessary commodities used in ev
ery day life, such as shoes, blankets,
stoves and other manufactured pro
ducts have been given material re
ductions in freight rates and at the
same time their retail price has been
steadily increased.
It is shown that the freight rates
on such goods during the past two
years have been reduced by over $2,-
000,000 annually yet the prices
charged by the merchants and job
bers are greater than they were be
fore the freight" rates were reduced
at all.
The resolution is that this is not to
the interest of the people It is held
that this conditio'n should not exist
and they should not tax the owners
of certain property in such a manner
that owners of other kinds can
charge so as to make from 00 to 100
per cent on their goods.
The committee was directed to
make a complete investigation and
as the resolution was made a privi
leged one goes, over tomorrow when it
wil ho acted upon.

SECOND NEW BALE IS
SENT TO AMERICUS
Lee Johnson Sends This One
From Leslie.
The second cotton hale"of the ne\V
crop marketed in Americus came
yesterday from the plantation of Mr.
Lee Johnson, and was stored at the
Chambliss warehouse. It weighed
460 pounds and was sold to Mr. Fred
B. Arthur, netting Mr. Johnson more
than $55.00.
Thus, Americus has three new cot
ton hales up to this time.
In all sections of the county the
bolls are cracking rapidly, disclosing
to eager gaze the wealth of fleecy
lint within, and within another week
the bales will be coming in rapidly.
In fact, it is said that one farmer
has six or eight bales in his gin
house already, but as he cares little
for contesting for "first bale” honors
he will wait and send in a full load
of it later. He already gets there
upon general results.
While the rains recently may have
damaged the crop to an extent, it is,
nevertheless, one of the best ever
grown in Sumter. Within a few days
picking will be general, and by Sep
tember Ist cotton receipts in Am
ericus will go into the hundreds of
bales.
A good crop and high prices is the
happy combination working in the
interest of the farmers this year.

If you have kidney and bladder
trouble and do not use Foley’s Kid

self to blame for results, as it posi

chewers and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are in the
.States where SCHNAPPS has not
yet* been ofrerpa4&
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers; the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey’s worth of the real snappy, stim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to
bacco lovers. All imitations con
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco s sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.
FEAST A ROYAL ONE:
HOST TO ENJOY IT
Greatest Barbecue of the Season
in South Georgia.
For the fourth consecutive season
Mr. George D. Jones, the host royal
of Huguenin, summoned a number of
his friends yesterday to the annual
barbecue which by long custom has
become a part of the regular rou
tine of this great plantation.
From the time when the memory
of man runs not to the contrary the
Huguenin Plantation barbecue has
delighted the friends of the superin
tendent and hundreds of faithful col
ored employes.
And Mr. Jones has made no excep
tion of this time honored rule.
A party of twenty gentlemen, sum
moned t othe feast royal, went to
Huguenin by the noon rtain yester
day, meeting there an even larger
number from the surrounding plan
tations, many fair ladies gracing the
occasion.
The seast —it could not in justice
be called a dinner, was spread at the
station, and was in readiness when
the train arrived.
Mrs. Jones, a charming and grac
ious hostess always, assisted in dis
pensing this open handed hospital
ity.
Barbecued pigs, lambs, kid and
barbecued chickens in prodigal abun
dance was spread upon the long ta
bles, flanked by delicious cakes and
other viands equally tempting.
No similar scene of ante-bellum
days could have surpassed this one.
In a grove, a half mile away, a
dinner equally as sumptuous was
spread by Mr. Jones for the hundreds
of colored people on the plantation.
It was indeed a season of rejoicing,
for the crops are abundant and
prosperity prevails in that favored
region. Mr. Jones has the Huguenin
plantation of ten thousand acres, be
sides his own farms of half that
area, and the crops upon all are
truly magnificent.
As a happy finale, when the adieus
were said, Col. Crawford Wheatley
in his happiest vien expressed the
gratitude of the assembled guests to
their host and hostess, although am
ple appreciation had been fully evi
denced during the preceding half
hou r.
It was indeed a royal occasion in
that realm of peace, plenty and un
exampled prosperity.
FLOYD’S FIRST BALE
BRINGS FINE PRICE
Colored Farmer Here Markets
First of Crop.
Allen Floyd is the Deal Jackson of
Sumter county to the extent of being
a thrifty and successful negro farm
er, although he does not market a
first bales as does the dazzling dark
diamond of Dougherty. But Floyd
gets there on general results, and.that
really is what counts. Yesterday he
marketed at 1,. G. Council's ware
house his first bale of the new crop.
It was of excellent quality and was
sold by Mr. Council at a record price,
ljt/i cents, netting Floyd $07.63, a
pretty stiff figure for a cotton bale.
Floyd operates a good sized six mule
farm a few miles south of Americus.
He with his family, do nearly all of
the work; he is a frugal, careful and
honest, three factors in the-career to
success and prosperity.
PASSED BILLS OF OLD
BANK OF SAVANNAH
Man Who Did It in Trouble in
British Columia.
ATLANTA, August 16. —State
Treasurer Robert B. Park has re

of the miscreants, who has been
passing old Georgia" State Bank bills
as good money has been convicted
and sentenced to serve three years
in the penitentiary. The information
was received from Chief of Police
Thomas IJ. Long of Rossland, Brit
ish Columbia. The bills which the
man passed as good currency were
old bills of the Merchants' and Plan
ters’ Bank of Savannah. They are,
of course, worthless, except as curi
osities.

Austrian Count to Marry Poor
Philadelphia Bookkeeper.
HE’S EHE GENUINE ARTICLE.
Reputed to Be Immensely Weallhy
and Could Have Married Wealthy
Women at Any lime-true to
His Poor Sweeheart for
Three Years.
PHILADELPHIA, August 16.—Be
fore the close of October Miss Rita
Jaichner, a pretty bookkeeper, who
lives with her widowed mother, at
1643 South Thirteenth street, in this
city, vvilKbe a countess.
She will marry Count Leopold J.
de Fern, of New Orleans, scion of
one of the noblest houses in Austria,
a man of great wealth and distinc
tion, who, despite the fact that many
rich women have cast their nets
for him, has remained true to his
girl sweetheart for more than three
years.
• “I do not care for society women,"
Count de Ferri is quoted as saying.
“I want a good girl.” And so he has
overlooked the flattering attentions
of the wealthy and will marry the.
Philadelphia girl who several years
has kept books for her living.
That the wedding did not take
place three years ago is not the
fault of the count and his bride-to
be. Both wanted to be wedded at
that time. But Rita then was not
eighteen years old, and her mother,
Mrs. John Jaichner, did not approve
of early marriages. So she gave
her consent with the proviso that the
count wait until her daughter should
be twenty-one years of age.
On the sth day of August Rita
passed this important milestone. On
that date engagement annuoncements
were received by her friends in Phil
adelphia. They bore a coat-of-arms
and crest and read as follow's:
Count Leopold J. de Ferrie, Cheva
lier of Honor of the Soverign, Ger
man Order of Knighthood, and Miss
Jacchner announce their engagement,
August, 1907. New' Orleans. La.,
Philadelphia, Pa., respectively.
To the recipients the invitations
came as a surprise. At first they
did not recognize the name. Then
they remembered the rumored at
tentions of the count, and saw that
the bridegroom-to-be, manlike, had
forgotten how his affianced spelled
her name. He had had the invita
tions printed according to the sound
of the name.
Unlike most noblemcD who come
to America, Count de Ferri is reputed
to be immensely wealthy. Again,
unlike bis class, he scorns the life
of a dilettante and has gone on for
business. To continue the dissimi
larity, he is marrying for love, and
the object of his affections is com
paratively poor. He has gained con
siderable eminence as an eoronaut,
having taken part in ascensions in
Europe and this country, notably in
the contests at the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition in St. Ixniis in 1904.
He is also known as one of the most -
prominent dealers in automobiles in
the Crescent City. He also does a
large business in the sale of bal
loons.
As to his family, the Count de
Ferri can boast of a line of noble an
cestry for several centuries. The
family originally was Paduan. The
patent of nobility W'as granted by
King Edward IV of Denmark, who
ennobled the wealthy citizen, Pelle
grini de Ferri, with the title of count
for notable services rendered and
for lavish entertainment at the time
of the King's visit to Italy in 1709.
