SWIPE OF SEAB’S GRIP
LEFT HIM IN PICKLE
Packed Pajamas in Pillow Case
and Adjourned.
ATLANTA, Aug. 20.—When the
Hon. Seaborn Wright of Floyd, got
ready to leave for his home in Rome
after the adjournment of the legisla
ture, he suddenly discovered that his
dress suit case was missing. It might
have been that some of the souless
corporations or the liquor interests
had caused his valise to be swiped, but
the important features was that it
was missing and Mr. Wright had to
catch his train. His clothes were ly- 1
ing around without any thing to put
them in and he didn't know what he
was going to do. Suddenly a bright
Idea came to him. Shucking a pillow'
case off of its contents, Mr. Wright
bundled up his clothes and stuffed
them into it. He then had barely a
few minutes to catch the aforesaid
train, but with the pillow case full of
clothes over his shoulder lie made it.
lie asked for the return of his dress
suit case if it should be located and
promised to send the pillow case
back.

SUICIDES FROM
LOSS OF CANTEEN
General Declares W. C. 1.1).
Eired In Abolishing Bars
NOW DRINK “ROT-GUT” RUM
Cites Violent Deaths of Inmates of
Institution at Tops, Me., to Prove
Contention-Get Meanest Whisy
in Dives I here.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS., August 20.
—“Rotgut whiskey is killing many
of the old soluiers,” asserted General
George B. Loud, of New York, presi
dent of the Third Massachusetts Cav
alry Association, who is now visiting
in Springfield. “I would destroy all
the liquor on earth if I could,” said
General I.oud. ‘‘But 1 believe that
when the W. C. T. U. brought about
the abolition of the canteen it pretty
nearly wiped out all of the great good
the famous women’s organization has
accomplished in years against the
liquor evil.
“I have been visiting in Maine, and
while there called on an old friend,
who is Governor of the Soldiers’ Home
at Togus, where there are 2600 men.
The day I was there two suicides were
buried. Their deaths w r ere due to
the abolition of the canteen. Since
the canteen was done away with a
great number of club privileges have
been lost because they were paid for
out of canteen profits. That is one
reason why the men go outside the
homes. These men w'ere the kind
that would enjoy a glass of beer in
the canteen and not drink to excess,
and drink only beer, as no other li
quor was sold.
Nell Only Cheapest of Whiskey.
“Both suicides, wanting liquor, had
gone to one of the low dives, that
grew up around the post when the
canteen was abolished. These dives
sell nothing but whiskey, and the
whiskey is enough to kill the man
anyway. A little investigation that
resulted from agitation against the
dives showed that the whiskey costs
SO cents a gallon and is sold for 25
cents per half pint. Os course, such
whiskey is composed of alcohol and
injurious adulterants.
“The canteens were conducted care
fully with proper restrictions, and
while they existed the men were satis
fied and there were no outside dives
as there was no business for them. I
am hopeful that the next Congress
will sanction the re-establishment of
the canteen.
TONIGHT HIS
LAST MEETING
Mr. Thompson Will Leave Am
ericus Tomorrow.
Tonight Rev. Nathan Thompson de
livers his last address at the tent
meetings. He leaves Americus to
morrow morning.
Those who have heard Mr. Thomp
son have been greatly entertained, in
structed and edified. He has gifts
that peculiarly fit him fo* evange
listic work of this nature. His clos
ing services this afternoon and to
night will be well worth attending.
The tent meetings will be continu
ed through the remainder of the week,
as well. Arrangements have not yet
been made for a speaker, but there
will be no cessation in the meetings
either a local preacher or one from
abroad being secured.
POSSESSION GIVEN
PINKSTON COMPANY
Will Al Once Begin Work Upon
Building.
Yesterday the Pinkston Company
secured full possession of the large
building on Lamar street, leased re
cently for a term of years, the Davis
Furniture Co. removing at once to the
new Allen store on Cotton avenue.
The Pinkston Co. will proceed without
delay to entirely overhaul and modern
ize their building and will have it
ready for occupancy early in Septem
ber. Good progress upon this line
had been made already, but now that
the last remaining store has been va
cated, the work will proceed rapidly.
The entire front of the building will
be changed, requiring considerable
time.
TRENTON TO
HONOR FITCH
Plan Clebration of His Steam
Navigation of Delaware.
TRENTON, August 20.—Trenton’s
Chamber of Commerce is planning a
Fitch-Delaware celebration in the
lines of the Fulton-Hudson aniversary
in New York yesterday. John Fitch
operated steamboats on the Delaware
River twenty years before Fulton
navigated the Hudson. Fitch was a
Trentonian, and the people of the
city are anxious to honor his mem
ory.
COUNCIL TO ELECT
ENGINEER FOR CITY
At Meeting to Be Held Thurs
day Night.
When the city council meets to
n’lorrow night in regular session one
of the matters of importance to be
considered is the election of city
engineer and superintendent of wa
terworks. City Engineer C. W. Mur
ray, for five years in that position has
tendered his resignation to engage in
other business and goes to Cordele
very shortly to take a large contract,
it is not known who counsil will
elect as Supt. Murray’s successor.
TO SAVE THE TREES
IN GRADE OF ROAD
City Sustains No Damage In
Grade of Chruch Street.
Residents of Church street will be
pleased to learn that, in the grading
and curbing of that street the beau
tiful shade trees, giant oaks that
have stood for more than a half cen
tury, will not be eut down or other
wise injured.
There are no handsomer trees in
the city than the double row of large
oaks on Church street.
This street, west of Jackson, is
soin to be graded and granite,curb
ed, and fear was expressed lest the
cutting away of some of the beauti
ful trees might be necessary.
It is proposed, however, to lay the
curbing outside the tree line, and in
this manner avoid the necessity of
cutting down a tree.
In this connection the city council
should be urged to- look more closely
after the trees on residence streets,
and to plant others at the city's ev
pense. This work could be done by
the street force at odd times, and all
the streets made beautiful.
The season of tree planting will
soon be here, and it is to be hoped
the suggestion thus made will re
ceive consideration.
VAST POWER IS GIVEN
NEW BOARD OF FIVE
Railroad Commission Has Pow
er of the Czar.
Americus merchants and shippers,
as all others, are interested in the
selection of the two new railroad
commissioners,increasing that body
from three to five, as the new board
is fully expected to bring about a
revolution in the conduct of railroad
affairs.
The Governor will appoint the two
new members shortly.
It 'is admitted that the Candler-
Overstreet public utility bill is one of
the most far-reaching and powerful
measures of that character ever en
acted into law. It places in the
hands of five men, who will be in
perfect accord with the views of the
governor, tremendous powers.
They can regulate not only pas
senger and freight rates, but the
rates on street car lines, the busi
ness of cotton compresses, the tele
graph and telephone tolls and the
express business. They can regu
late the charges for steamheating in
cities.
In fact, will hold sway over every
public utility corporation doing bus
iness in Georgia.
And their orders are final. Cor
porations cannot go into courts over
the head of the commission. Heavy
penalty is fixed for such attempts.
The bill also provides for action to
be brought directly against the con
troling powers of a great corpora
tion.
MAT PROVE FATAL
When Mill Americus People Learn
the Importance of It !
Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis front the
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles fol
low;
That diebatis, Bright’s disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the fol
lowing experience.
’Tis the statement of an Americus
citizen:
J. M. Oliver, wagon painter, with
shop on Cotton avenue and Jefferson
streets, Americus, Ga., and living on
the outskirts of Americus, has used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and states his
opinion of them as follows: He says,
“They are a fine remedy. I used them
them very ache and can recommend
them very highly. They did for me
what everything else failed to do.
They drove the backache out of my
back and relieved me of misery, from
which I had been suffering for a long
time. The trouble. was a constant
heavy ache right across the small of
my back, and a disorder of the kid
neys. The secretions were in had
condition, being dark, full of sedi
ment and irregular. Medicines for
internal use failed to help me and so
did liniments. I read of how others
had been cured by Doan's Kidney
Pills, and deciding to try them got
a box. Since taking them the pain
has left my back, the kidneys are
working normally, the secretions are
in a natural condition and I feel bet
ter in many ways.”

Several other new bales were
