OCILLA A WINNER IN
COURTHOUSE CASE
Secretary Cook Decides in Favor
of That Town.
Col. W. A. Dodson returned yester
day from Atlanta, where as attorney
in the case lie lias been watching the
contest between Ocilla and Irwinville
over the removal of the Irwin county
courthouse. Secretary of State Cook
decided the disputed county seat case
Irwin county in favor of Ocilla and
against Irwinville. Ocilla got a
large majority of the votes in the
election, but Irwinville claimed that
there was fraud and that a number of
ballots favorable to that place were
thrown, out illegally. The votes were
gone over in detail, and every feature
of the case was rehearsed bfefore Sec
retary Cook. The hearing had been
going on since Tuesday.
The Limit of Life.
The most eniment medical scien
tists are unanimous in the conclu
sion that the generally accepted lim
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race Is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be betwen 50
and GO; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be
ing fatal to longevity. Nature’s best
helper after 50 is Electric Bitters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar

THE HOUSE IS SANE
ON LOCKER TAX
Senator Barrow Thinks It Will
Kill Measure.
ATLANTA, August 17.—Speaking
of the action of the Senate in passing
the SIO,OOO locker tax, Mr. Barrow
of Chatham said today; “It is un
fair that the temperance leaders
should insist on making a prohibition
bill of the general tax act. The pro
posed tax of SIO,OOO against social
clubs and the penalty it carries is
unreasonable, and I am sure the
House will never agree to any such
amendment to the tax act.”

TAFT TO TALK ON

WASHINGTON, August 17. —Among
the things to be toucKed by Secretary
of War Taft in his speech at Colum
bus, Ohio., tomorrow, will he the
Bi'ownsville affair.
This speech which, it is thought,
will be the keyxiotn of the Republican
campaign, most likely will he a mes
sage from the President, similar to
the one delivered by Secretary Tafi
at Akion two years ago, which un
horsed George B. Cox, boss of Ohio,
and caused the defeat of Governor
Herrick, Republican candidate for
re-election.
Secretary Taft is, perhaps, the most
intimate friend the President lias in
the Cabinet and the two look upon
things in much the same light.

M. Torrence painted both houses, one

another paint sold at same price 25
gallons. The 25 gallon paint is weak
and 15 per cent whiting; that’s why
it took 9Vk gallons more.

STRIKE IS STILL ON
AMONG THE TELEGS.
No BusineSs is Handled
Here.
TELEGRAMS COME THROUGH MAIL
Situation Same .as on Monday-Little
Business is Offered Local Office
and No Messages Handled
Here.
Americus has waded through a
week of the telegraphers’ strike, with
no change in the situation locally,
or hope of an early resumption of.
business. Fortunately, there have
been but few pressing instances
wherein the service was really need
ed.
In one case of death here it was
impossible to get mesages through
to relatives and friends.
Business houses in Americus con
tinue to get telegrams daily through
the mails. A bunch sent by wire
from the West as far as Macon
were put in the mails there and sent
on to Americus yesterday.
Both offices here are bottled up as
tight as at first.
Business is rapidly being resumed
in Macon, Atlanta, Savannah, Colum
bus, Augusta and all the cities of
the state and throughout the coun
try. It is only the smaller towns
like Americus and Albany that are
affected by the strike.
And in these all business in com
pletely paralyzed, as no mesages will
be handled at all.
The press wires in the larger cities
are pretty well supplied with opera
tors, but newspapers in towns of
this size can get nothing through.
The Times-Recorder has to de
pend entirely upon the long distance
’phone for its Atlanta news, and the
Albany Herald is doing the same.
And this condition, irritating in the
extreme, may have to be put up
with for an indefinite period.
Produce dealers are put to con
siderable loss as the market, constant
ly fluctuating was reported to them
hourly by wire.

SIOO REWARD, SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medicinal fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the • patient
strength by building up the constitu
tion and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for
