COTTON MEN ENJOY
FEAST OF CUE
Gala Occasion At Schroder
Spring Yesterday.
Annually, the cotton fraternity of
Americus signalizes the opening of
the busy season with a feast of cue
and flow of song, and as the aborig
inees of the forest, the noble Red
man, marks the fruitful season with
liis green corn dance, so do the loyal
subjects of King Cotton signalize his
advent in August. Yesterday was the
day of celebration and Schroeders
Springs, west of the city, the place
of assemblage. A royal feast of bar- '
hecue, with the coldest spring water
as an appetizer and chaser, was there
spread, and verily the multitude did
eat. The cotton men had as their
guests a number of those in more
humble walks of life, and unto these
lavish feed was given. The festivities
were concluded with the usual pro
gram of “exercises” which the fully
initiated best understand—and side
stepped.

OLD SHEDS ON AVENUE
GOING TO REMAIN
Old Wrecks Bear Charmed
Life
NO ORDERS GIVEN EOR REMOVAL
While Other. Streets Have Been Clear
ed of These Eyesores and Dau
qer Spots, Gotton Auenue
is Exempted.
When the street force began this
week to repair the sidewalk on Cot
ton avenue, west side, a thrill of joy
was felt upon all sides in anticipation
of the immediate demolition of the
twelve old wooden shelters that dis
grace the street.
Surely, Cotton avenue was to be
cleaned out at last, and made present
able, the people thought.
On other streets the property ow
ners had been forced to pull down
sheds that were far more durable and
less objectionable. Surely no excep
tion would be made of the avenue.
But, amazing to relate, the curb
stone work in progress was complet
ed, and the dozen old sheds still
stand, or rather lean, as it was neces
sary to prop some of them up with
timbers to prevent collapse while the
work progressed.
And the “dirty dozen" still stand,
and will continue to stand for all
time, or until they actually fall down
from decay.
And simple minded citizens won
der why this is done.
They wonder who it is that thus
gives “ protection” to these eyesores;
these menaces to life and limb. How
can it be?
Why should the avenue thus he
sorely neglected, when other streets
have long since been swept clean of
these death traps. This street com
mands a full view from the Central
railway depot approach.
Surely, visitors cannot be very fav
orably impressed.
The city, even now, is defending
damage suits resulting from the col
lapse of an old shed wherein several
people were crushed or otherwise in
jured, and yet several of the old sheds
on the avenue are as dangerous as
!the one that fell.
Is there any reason why those on
the avenue should not he removed. Is
there any “pull” which prevents their
■ being pulled down.

DEPLORES ANTI
CANTEEN ACT
Army Report Also Shows De
crease in Court Martials.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The an
nual report of Acting Judge Advocate
General Porter shows that there was
a decrease of 683 in army court mar
tials the last fiscal year. The total
was 3,913, including 32 officers, 23 of
whom were convicted. Among the
enlisted men by far the greater num
' her of court martial trials were on the
account of desertion, there being 1,-
101, and 732 cases of absence without
leave. Four officers were dismissed
by sentence, as against fourteen last
I year.
The report dwells upon the evil re
sults following the passage of the
anti- canteen act, which, it is said,
“has undoubtedly caused the location
near military reservations of resorts
for the sale of intoxicating liquors,
which pander to the appetites and
passions of those enlisted men who,
largely by reason of the prohibition
in question, frequent the same. These
resorts are beyond the control of the
military authorities and there pres
ence is highly detirmental to military
discipline.”

kidneys themselves break down and waste

' Bladder troubles most always result from

Mr. Thompson Addressed Large
Audiences Yesterday.
, Rev. Nathan Thompson closed his
1 services at the tent last night, ad
i dressing a large congregation. In
the afternoon business was generally
• suspended again, and many men
heard his address on the theme “Is
> Godliness profitable.”
The meetings have been eminently
• successful, and those in charge have
been well pleased with the attendance,
■ the gerat interest manifested, and
; the undoubted good accomplished. It
: is regarded as an undoubted fact that
• many people have been spiritually
1 benefitted by the meetings, and there
will doubtless be several additions to
the membership of the churches as a
result. Beyond this there has been a
; general quickening of the moral sense
of the community, and a wide spread
influence for good that it incalcu
able.
i Arrangements will be made for the
i continuance of the meetings, after
noons and nights, for the remainder
. of the week. Mr. Thompson leaves
i today for Griffin, where he will con
‘ duct a camp meeting. His peculiar
gifts make him quite a powerful work
er in this field of usefulness. It is
■ safe to say that he will long be re
i membered by those who have attend
ed the tent meetings during the past
fortnight.

That such is the case has been con

Prof. Unna, the noted European skin

by parasites destroying the vitality In
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless,
and, In time, falls out. This can be pre
vented.

BEN TILLMAN
BELITTLES TAFT
Is Being Used as Stool Pigeon
by President.
WASHINGTON, Court House, 0.,
August 21. —Senator Ben Tillman of
South Carolina, spent several hours
in this city after delivering a lec
ture at Clarksburg, Ohio, on the race
question. He talked freely on the
matter of Republican Presidential
timber, saying:
“In my opinion Taft will hurt his
prospects if he attempts to stand as
a stool-pigeon and personal represen
tative of the President. If he stands
as the representative of Taft rather
than of Roosevelt he will be much
stronger before the people.
“Really, however, I think that the
President is after the nomination him
self and that his present maneuver
ing is for the purpose of getting the
situation so tied up that a deadlock
will result at the Republican National
Convention and that the President
hopes and expects he will be stamped
ed to him, nominate him by acclama
tion and hand the nomination to him
on a silver platter with the assuran
ces from the convention that he is
the only man who can lead the Re
publican party and the country out
of the wilderness.”
