Flames txtinguished-Many
People Are Shocked.
A blinding flash of lightning, ■'fol
lowed by a terrific peal of thunder,
startled the city during the rainstorm
yesterday afternoon, and soon there
after dense smoke poured from the
roof of Mr. George A. Turpin’s resi
dence on Taylor street.
The house had been fired by the
thunderbolt, while members of the
family were shocked to a greater or
less extent as well.
A telephone alarm brought the fire
department to the scene and the
flames caused by the lightning were
extinguished ‘in short time. . The
damage resulting from the fire will
not be very considerable.
The house was filled with smoke
and soot a moment after the bolt
struck the roof.
Several of the occupants of other
residences near by felt the shock
as well. Mrs. A. E. Rylander, who
was upon the veranda of her home
300 yards distant, was considerably
shocked, but soon recovered. The
neighborhood was given a very bad
fright.
in several instances recently houses
and people here have been struck
by lightning.

day.
Three bales of cotton were received
yesterday morning by the Johnson &
Harrold Warehouse Co. These bales
were shipped by a Lee county planter,
and as the first received in Amerieus
from outside the county. Only one
of the bales was sold, bringing an ex
cellent price.
What Do They Cure?
The above question is often asked con
cerning Or. Pierce’s two leading medi
cines, "Golden Medical Discovery ” and
"Favorite Prescription.”
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery ” is a most potent alterative or
blood-purifier, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in a cura
tive way upon all the mucous lining sur
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and

AMERICUS GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20. 1907.
SAFELY BACK IN AMERICUS
AND RENDERING ACCOUNI 01 THEIR STEWARDSHIPS
Representatives Taylor and Dykes in the Bosom of Their Constituents Tell
How it Happened or Didn’t Happen.
Br.ck from the legislative halls, ea
ger to meet their constituents and
tell them all about it, Representatives
Dykes and Taylor spent yesterday
largely explaining what the legislature
did and what the legislature did not
do.
Fifty days of service at Atlanta,
on a diet of lithia water, does not seem
to have impaired the avoirdupois of
Sumter's two genial representatives.
They were both glad to be at home
again for a long spell, a year’s re
lief from legislative harness, even
though it will take them a fortnight
to explain where they stood on clean
sheets, prohibition, separate tents
for negroes at circuses, gross income
taxation, fishing on Sundays, dis
franchisement, anti-passes and club
lockers.
“The legislature was simply flood
ed with bills,” said Mr. Taylor yes
terday in discussing the eventful
times at the capitol. “Sumter county,
though, did not worry them very
much with laws of any kind. There
was some very good legislation that
failed of pasage, legislation that will
undoubtedly be taken up at the next
session and be put through in some
form.
“While there has been much criti
cism of the work of the legislature it
will probably be found when it is
all boiled down that the record does
not compare so unfavorably with that
of predecessors, it is quite easy to
find fault, but it is seldom that the
General Assembly undertakes the
IRON FOUND NEAR AMERICUS
Valuable Deposits of Ore Discovered in few Miles of
the City.
Iron ore, the unmistakable, genu
ine article, is to be found—in fact,
it has already been found —in vast
quantities on a farm six miles south
of Amerieus, where the ore-bearing
rocks lie in hundreds of tons upon
and under ground.
One has but to see it to be thor
oughly convinced, and many people
have seen it already.
The discovery is not a new one;
the iron-bearing stones have been
turned over for years in cultivating
the fields, but until now little atten
tion has been given to it.
Yesterday a quantity of the ore
,was brought to Amerieus and semi
experts who examined it Carefully
stated unhesitatingly that it was
rick in iron ore. The stones are jet
black in color and of very consid
areable weight.
AMERICUS IS STILL CORKED
No Relief in Sight as Regards the Strike of the
Telegraphers,
With all wires pulseless, and an air
of cemeteric silence about the two
telegraph offices here the second week
of the strike began, yesterday, with
no relief in sight. Business, tele
graphically, is as dead in Amerieus
as in Central Africa.
No messages are sent hence, and
none are received.
To the end of taking care of the
property the offices are kept open
during- the usual business hours, but
the click of instruments is heard not,
and there is nothing doing.
Business men, especially those de
pending upon hourly market reports,
are exasperated over the situation,
ARE CUTTING OUT OFFICES
Many Small Ones in the South Are Soon to Be Aban=
doned.
On account of the telegraphers
strike, many of the small offices in
the State are to be cut out and aban
doned, at least for the present. A re
port reached Amerieus to this, effect
yesterday, the statement being that
all minor and “joint offices” in towns
where the telegraph operator and
depot agent was one and the same,
were to be cut out of the service. An
inspector, it was said, had left Macon

consideration of so many measures
of the first magnitude at one session.
When you think of it, prohibition, dis
franchisement, gross income taxa
tion, extension of the powers of the
railro’fd commission, and anti-lobby
ing, these bills in themselves were
sufficient to absorb much time in
their consideration, not .to speak of
other important general acts that
were introduced and the hundreds of
minor local bills that necessarily took
up much time. There has not been
a session of the legislature, I ven
ture to say, in many years when so
many bills of really far reaching im
portance were presented. That all
of them did not reach a final vote
is not surprising. The trouble was
that too much was expected of the
General Assembly on its first session.
Things were not cut and dried. The
members exercised the right to look
into questions, to discuss them, and
to settle them as they thought wisest
for tlie interests of the State. When
the next session is completed I ven
ture to say that this General Assem
bly will not compare unfavorably
with its predecessors in the number of
important measures considered and
acted upon, measures, too, that were
as broad as the state in their effect
and not merely of local importance.
I do not think this Assembly in the
end will have reason to be ashamed
of the work it has accomplished, al
though it has doubtless, like all other
legislative bodies, made mistakes, a*
its successors are also likely to do.”
One small particle, the size of a
hen egg, was put upon the scales
and weighed a pound.
In fact, they look almost like solid
metal.
The suggestion that the stones
might possibly be sections of some
meteoric formation is dissipated in
the fact that forty acres of ground
are thus ore-covered, while great
ledges are found well beneath the
surface of the earth.
Specimens of the ore were sent
to the State department of agricul
ture yesterday for analysis and re
port thereupon. If it is really iron
ore, as many here are fully con
vinced, it will open a new field of
important industry in Amerieus.
At two other localities here, it is
said, the same ore is found in the
greatest abundance.
while the public generally wants to
see an end to this needless warfare,
as a result of which the people suffer
more than do others.
The larger cities are doing business
all right enough, it would seem, but
small towns suffer.
In Amerieus, for instance, not only
commercial business, telegraphically,
is paralyzed, but press business is put
out as well. Nothing of this nature
has been handled in a week, in or out
of Amerieus for the newspapers.
We are as entirely removed from
civilization today as before the tele
graph -was invented, so far as that
medium in concerned.
for Amerieus, cutting out such offices
en route, while another had started
from Smithviile to Eufaula upon a
similiar mission. With hundreds of
minor offices thus abolished, the tel
egraph companies can more readily
handle the situation. Amerieus will
probably be allowed to remain upon
the map, though it might as well be
abolished along with the others for
the service now rendered, or rather
not rendered.

BILLY HANKS TRAIN
DEEMED TOO SLOW
Drummers Kick on Service
Rendered.
COLUMBUS POST TAKES UP MATTER
Railroad Asserts Business Conditions
Along the Line Do Not Warrant
Regular Passenger Trains
Now.
The train service rendered by the
Central between Amerieus and Co
lumbus does not please all the drum
mers who make tours in that terri
tory, nor does it entirely please the
patrons along the line, and the drum
mers have gone in to secure a better
train service, if possible.
The following dispatch from Co
lumbus tells the «tory of complaint
lodged by the drummers:
Columbus, Aug. 19: Post C. of
the Travelers Protective Association,
is up in arms over the poor passeng
er service being furnished on the
Central of Georgia railway between
Columbus and Amerieus.
On that line of the Central, 64
miles long, not a single passenger
train is operated, the only facilities
of that nature, being pasenger ac
commodations on the daily freight
train, to which coaches are attached.
This train leaves Columbus early
in the morning, wends its way to
Amerieus, and, returning, arrives
here about nightfall. People along
the line wtio wish to do shopping in
Columbus, or to transact any other
business here, have to come to the
city late in the afternoon and spend a
day and two nights here, returning
home two days after they left for
Columbus.
The drummers point out that this
is almost like a trip to New York,
and that such an inadequate pas
senger service is absurd.
The post appointed a committee
last night to take up the matter with
General Passenger Agent Haiie.
It may be a matter of surprise to
the general public to know that the
Central of Georgia railway has any
line 64 miles long, and operating be
tween cities of such size as Columbus
and Amerieus without a single pas
senger train on it. At one time there
was a double daily passenger sched
ule on that line, although it was in
conection with a through schedule.
“On the other hand, the railroad
people say that they lost money when
they operated a passenger train.
It so happens that for 35 miles of
the route there is not a single tele
graph station, all the stops being
flag stations, and the passenger busi
ness furnished by such a country is
not great. Beuna Vista and Ellavillo,
both sounty seats and good towns
are the principal points on the road.
MISS BELL WILL
RETURN ON FRIDAY
Studied Under America’s Great- *
est Musicians This Summer.
Miss Annie May Bell will return
home from her summer vacation on
next Friday and arrange for the re
opening of her school of pianoforte
music on Monday, September 2.
During the summer Miss Bell has
continued her studies in music under
the leading masters of America.
For two weeks she received special
instructions from Prof. Carl Faelton,
in Boston, Mass. Prof. Faelton, the
author of the system that bears his
name, is one of the most successful
teachers in the country, recognized by
all as standing among the few great
instructors and thinkers in music.
From Boston Miss Bell went to New
York where she has been for two
months, living in an atmosphere of
music. There she has continued her
work under the instruction of Prof.
Raphael Joseffy, probably the greatest
pianist in this country, and also under
the direction of Prof. Homer Morris,
a leading teacher of harmony and
counterpoint.
Miss Bell returns home more thor
oughly equipped than ever for the
conduct of her large school, which is
devoted entirely to the piano.
The work of renovation and im
provement of the school quarters is
being rapidly pushed and the opening
day will find them in readiness for
the school.
The school home will be larger than
before, more tastefully decorated and
in every way adapted for the work
of the several classes.
