10 RUSH IN COTTON
FAST AS POSSIBLE
Farmers Will Be Picking
This Week
HUNDRED NEW BALES EXPECTED
Unless Rain Delays the Work-Farm
ers Will Get Cotton to Market
While Price Are Still at
the Highest.
Mr. Wardlaw Nunn, one of Sum
ter’s most successful planters, with
a handsome plantation home at Hun
tington, was in the city yesterday.
Farmers in the Fifteenth, Mr. Nunn
said, would be busy picking cotton
this week, unless the rain interfer
ed.
On his own farm, he stated, he ex
pected to pick and market several
bales by Saturday.
Throughout that rich section of
the country the cotton is opening
rapidly, and upon nearly all planta
tions the picking season was formally
ushered in this week.
Farmers, as a rule, like to keep
up with cotton as it opens, and more
particularly at this time when prices
are most inviting. All the new bales
sold in Americus to date have brought
from 12 to 13 1-4 cents, with 15 cents
paid for the first bale.
Mr. Nunn thinks that even at 12
cents for cotton the farmers can get
along very comfortably. Last year
he sold his crop of one hundred bales
in a lot, at the highest price of the
season.

GROCERS ARE GLAD
LAW IS DELAYED
October Ist Is Given Them to
Clear ShelvSs.
The grocery merchants, as well as
all dealers in foodstuffs, are pleased
with the recent order of the Depart
ment of Agriculture extending the
time for the operation of the pure
food law to October 1.
This extension of time is allowed
to give all an opportunity of dispos
ing of stocks of goods on hand that
fail to come up to the requirements
of the pure food law.
There are a number of merchants
who do not understand the law, and
it is not the desire of the department
to work unnecessary hardships.
The department, it is understood,
will soon mail to those wanting them,
some literature that will fully ex
plain not only the operation of the
law, but giving other information as
to the purchase of stocks that will
be of benefit.'
After October 1, the law will be
rigidly enforced.
Men Fast Sixty In Danger.
More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders, usually en
largement of prostrate glands. This
is both painful and dangerous, and
Foley’s Kidney Cure should be taken
at the first sign of* danger, as it cor
rects irregularities and has cured
many old men of this disease. Mr.
Rodney Burnett, Rockport, Mo., says:
“I suffered with enlarged prostrate
gland and kidney trouble for years
and after taking two bottles of Fol
ey's Kidney Cure I feel better than
I have for twenty years, although 1
am now 91 years old.” Sold by all

Before the days of grace allowed by

there was nothing doing about that

The Limit of Life.
The most eniment medical scien

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 60
and 60; 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 60 is Electric Bitters,
the scientific tonic medicine that revi
talizes every organ of the body. Guar

BOOZE CLUBS BY SCORE
GOING TO SPRING UP
Locker Tax is Wholly
Pleasing
HUNDREDS OF "PROHIBITION” BARS
Will Take the Place of the Thirst
Parlors Now in Existence-Seab
Wright’s Bill Turned the
Trick Very Neatly,
Americus is going to have her
“Dewdrop Society” not one, but
many, and the cit who loves his
nip is stitl' thanking Seab Wright for
thus neatly turning the trick and find
ing the pleasing way that will per
mit them to get the oil of joy con
veniently.
"Dewdrop Clubs” will be numerous
in every town in the state.
As an amendment to Wright's bill
placing a tax of S3OO on “locker" club
the legislature put the tax at SSOO.
This figure will be wholly satisfactory
to the “Dewdroppers.”
So. elated are they at the considera
tion shown them that it is suggest
ed that the Dewdrop Clubs install a
life-sized statue of their god-father,
standing rampant and be i irg aloft
a bunch of grapes, a la “the gal in
the founta'n.”
This would be a neat and suitable
recognition of the valiant services
thus rendered.
And the “clubs” are going to be
immensely popular, starting January
Ist with a great membership. The
“locker” will do the business.
One feature of its popularity is
thus set forth by a saloon man.
“The club is organized, and each
of the 100 or 500 members has his
favorite brand of hair oil, in his
locker. The club is open at all hours,
day and night; no limit. There's no
law against selling members a lit
tle sugar or ice water, is there?
“We elect you a member of the
club. You pay your initiation fee,
which by a remarkable coincidence is
the price of that bottle in your lock
er.
“You, as a member of the club, can
drop in at any time and get your
drink. By the time your bottle is
finished you will be called upon to
pay your dues, and by another re
markable coincidence the amount of
dues will be the same as the cost
of another bottle.
“Now, is that against the law? We
pay the license to run lockers. We
run lockers.
“Os course the members must cut
out the mixed drinks. Os course the
highball will still roll because we can
furnish seltzer for a consideration, or
we can sell a bottle of lemon soda
for a brandy and soda.
“But the mint-julep is gone. Now
that's a shame. Just to think of
that time-honored institution, the
mint-julep, that came to us from the
first families of Virginia, having to
be banished and replaced with straight
drinks of old rye!”
And this generous action upon the
part of the legislature lets in negro
clubs as well. There will be plenty
of both, but they will not be saloons,
vile things that they are, paying taxes
to the city and state. They will be
the new idea “Dewdrop Clubs.”
But the Legislature knew what it
was doing, good boys they were, and
this is what they did. Os course the
“club" will be a naughty thing’ and
the boys should cut it out.
