You May Not Think Os It,
But it Does
make a big difference to you who makes the clothes you
wear; especially if the maker is willing to tell you what
he makes them of; and how.
That’s one thing we like about Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothes; they are made of strictly all-wool fabrics
and the makers seem to want everybody to know it.
They advertise the fact extensively; it’s the most impor
tant tact about any clothes.
They are plenty of good looking clothes for sale that
are not all-wool, the makers don’t claim that they are;
they don’t say much about it.
We like to sell clothes that our customers can be
positive about; goods that you don’t have to take any
body’s word for; clothes you know are good. It’s easy
to sell such clothes; and the’re a satisfaction to
everybody.
It isn’t simply that we sell Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes that you find it worth while to buy your things
here.
That’s a pretty good reason; but there are others.
We’ve a lot of things that men wear, that are worth
having too. If you havn’t found out that this store is
the headquarters for quality stuff, you’ve got something
coming to you.

ATLANTA, August 22.—Janies K.
Mines of Atlanta, the well known pop
ulist leader in Georgia has been ap
pointed by Governor Smith as at
torney to the new railroad commis
sion and will accept the position.
The railroad commission bill was
amended before being passed so as
to provide for a regular attorney to
the railroad commission at a salary
of $2,500 a year. His term of office
is to be for four years.
Judge Hines is regarded as an able
lawyer, and will, no doubt, make a
capable official in this capacity.
The duties of attorney to the rail
road commission will be both advis
ory and those of a solicitor in such
cases in court as the cbmmission may
be involved in.
These have heretofore been com
ducted by the attorney general,
whose duties have largely increased
of late, though he has never yet lost
a case in which he represented the
state.
Judge Hines, as will be recalled,
was tiie populist candidate for gov

AMERICUS GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23. 1907.
TAX CAPACITY OF COLLEGE
Students From All Over District Are Coming
Supt, GoSSum and Prof. Campbell Spend Morning in Americus-Both Enthus
iastic Over Outlook.
“The Third District Agricultural
College will open in January and to
its fullest capacity. In fact, our
quarters will be inadequate for the
pupils attending, and already the
board is confronted with the prob
lem of additional quarters."
Such was the opinion of Hon. John
M. Collum, principal of the College,
as expressed to the Times Recorder
yesterday. The outlook, therefore, is
gratifying in the extreme.
Even in the beginning the buildings
are found inadequate, and more room
is required.
Mr. Collum, accompanied by Prof.
J. P. Campbell, of Euharlee, Ga., spent
the morning in Americus, and went
out to take a look at the college build
ings and farm. Both gentlemen were
very highly pleased at the progress
made to date.
Opens At Its Capacity.
And the college, Supt. Collum said,
would open its doors in January un
der the most battering circumstances
and brightest auspices, and with
its future fully assured.
A host of students, boys and girls,
will ask admission there.
Girls as well as boys must be
provided for, and to accommodate
the young ladies it is likely that some
residence in the immediate vicinity of
the college will be leased by the trus
tees and thus utilized until (he Girls
Dormitory is completed.
As yet this building has not been
planned, only the Academic and the
Boys’ Dormitory having been com
pleted, but with the expected large at
tendance of young ladies it will be
necessary to build the Girls’ Dormi
tory as soon as possible.

Mr. Campbell will be the principal
of the agricultural department of the
college here, a line in which he has
had years of experience.
For several years Mr. Campbell con
ducted most successfully a large
PROHIS AFTER THE JOINTS
Fight Will Bo Waged on the Booze Clubs
Anli-Salooners to Have Something to Say About Those Lockers-Will Fight
if Clubs Organize.
ATLANTA, August 22.—A1l over
Georgia, since Saturday night, when
the house and senate compromised on
a SSOO tax on social clubs which may
be keep intoxicants in lockers, or
otherwise, on and after January 1,
1908, club members have been rejoic
ing over what seems to be a victory
for them.
However, it will be a victory not
without a battle, if indeed, it proves
a victory at all.
The Georgia Anti-Saloon League
has made no declaration of its pur
pose, but it is learned that the first
club which keeps liquor in any form
on its premises after January 1 will
be prosecuted to determine whether
or not the prohibition law does not
prohibit the keeping of any alcoholic
drink at such a place.
. It is pointed out that the amend
ment to the tax act imposing this tax
on clubs specifically provides that
nothing in the section shall be con
strued to license or permit intoxicants
to be kept in any place now prohibit

WASHINGTON, August 22.—“1 ex-'

Bonaparte in response to a query
concerning the publication in New
Y'ork of a rather indefinite statement
that he would eventually resign be
cause of his flippant treatment of the
great financial and industrial enter
prises of the country.
While he was at it, Mr. Bonaparte
also denied that the question of grant
ing immunity to the Chicago & Alton
Railroad in connection with Standard
Oil rebates had been put up to Judge
Landis to decide. He said no decis
ion had been reached, but he hoped
it would be possible to make a defin
ite announcement by Saturday.

agricultural college in Floyd county,
near Rome, and for several years
past has been principal of an even
larger college at Euharlee, Bartow
county, where now located.
The people of his county and sec
tion were loth to give up Mr. Camp
bell, who not only is an experienced
agriculturalist, but a ripe scholar as
well. The Third District College is
.'considered extremely forunate in
securing his services.
Future of College Bright.
Mr. Campbell has traveled over
the Third congressional district ex
tensively of late, and always ex
ploits the agricultural college here.
An expert in judging soils and farm
conditions, Mr. Campbell unhesitat
ingly declares the Sumter College the
finest of any of the district colleges
he has seen, its location and en
vironment are the very best, and its
future, he thinks, is very bright.
Conduct of the School.
The Third District College, Supt.
Collum says, will be conducted upon
the cooperative plan, thus reducing
expenditures, and without interfering
with the college curriculum.
it is proposed to charge each pupil
$25 upon admission, this amount to
cover all expenditures for the first
quarter of three months. Accurate
account nf expenditures will be
kept, and any surplus remaining will
be credited upon tile second quarter.
In this manner, the expenses of each
pupil will be reduced to the smallest
amount possible.
Even $25 would see# a small
amount to cover three months ex
penses, but as the pupils will do
a considerable portion of the work
required this amount, even,.may be
reduced, and an excelletn education
and board obtained at really little
expense.
The college buildings, completed
and fully equipped, will be ready for
the opening session in January.
ed by law, or which shall be here
after prohibited by law.
The whole question will hinge on
whether or not, in the light of the
prohibition law, a social club will
be legally construed to be a public
place. To finally determine this,
the Anti-Saloon League officials will
prosecute some club and the, case
will be carried to the state supreme
court for final decision.
In order that the question may be
understood, the amendment to the
tax act is here given, as follows:
“Upon every club, or association of
persons, who shall keep, or permit
to be kept in any room or place, or
or any room connected therewith,
directly or indirectly, in which mem
bers of such club, association or cor
poration, frequent or assemble, any
intoxicating liquors, the sum of SSOO.
Provided nothing in this section
shall be construed to license or permit
any intoxicant or liquors in any place
now prohibited by law, or which shall
be hereafter prohibited by law.”
A MOTOR CAR RIDE
OVER THE ROAD
Trip From Savanah to Americus
Thus Made.
From Savannah to Americus by
motor car was the run made yesterday
by Supt. H. B. Grimshaw of the
Fifth division of the Seaboard. Ac
companying Mr. Grimshaw were Mr.
P. B. Thompson of the freight de
partment, Mr. G. L. Hurley, assistant
trainmaster, and Mr. Ed. Stallings,
of the freight department. Careful
inspection was made of the railway
and the depots en route, and two days
were thus consumed. The motor
carries four people and has a speed
of thirty miles an hour, but Supt.
Grimshaw was looking more careful
ly after business than speeding the
motor. Quite recently he has ex
amined the depots and other proper
ties of the Seaboard throughout the
entire fifth division of 450 miles.

REYBURN SCORES
TAFT’S SPEECH
Philadelphia’s Machine Leader
Calls It a Weak Echo.
Philadelphia August 22.—Mayor
Reyburn, formerly congressman and
representing the Republican machine
in this city and state, is out in a
bitter interview attacking both Roose
velt and Taft's speeches. Refering to
Taft’s address, the Mayor who is a
staunch Knox man, says:
“I think it is one of the weakest 1
have ever read. It was absolutely
without any individuality or original
ity. It simply was a re-echo of what
is the policy of some one else.”
“Do you mean that it was a re-echo
of the views of President Roosevelt?"
“Yes, that is what I mean. It sim
ply was a re-echo of what somebody
else said. The people today want in
dividuality, not men without opinions
of their own. Now, do I make my
self clear? if not, let us get at it.
“Taft simply is to carry out the plans
of President Roosevelt to secure his
nomination for the presidency, and in
so doing he is re-echoing the views
of Roosevelt. There is no doubt of
that. 1 have nothing to say against
Taft personally. He is a very fine
man, but I am surprised with the pos
ition he takes.
Major Defends Railroads.
"I believe in the greatest freedom
for business. The country is pros
perous. Manufacturers are making
money. Everybody is employed and
at good wages, and this is as it
should be. I am not a trimmer on
tariff. The tariff is all right. Let
it alone.
“Railroads arF'a business just the
same as anything else. Neither you
nor anybody else has a right, to come
in and say they shall sell their goods
at a certain price. Because the rail
roads have the right of eminent do
main the Government goes a step far
ther than ever was intended, and
says it has the right to control their
business and regulate their rates.
“i claim, and always have claim
ed that this rate business is unconsti
tutional. I was against it when I
was in the Senate.
Fears Paternalism.
“To justify its action against the
railroads the Government would have
to go a step farther and enter into
the regulation and control of all
business, down to the small shop
keeper, and that would mean pater
nalism. Any business man can cheat
you just the same as a railroad.
“The situation today is similar to
that of Jackson and the national
banks. He had the right idea. If
this thing goes on it simply means
that some one like Jackson will come
forward and under his leadership the
people will rise up and sweep Roose
velt and Rooseveltism off the face of
the earth.
HAZING REVIVED
AT ANNAPOLIS
But in Milder Form Than Ini
The Past.
ANNAPOLIS, MD„ August 22.
Hazing or running of fourth-class
men has again appeared at the Naval
Academy, acording to members of
that class, wlxo are the ones against
whom the practice was always direct
ed.
At the office of Capt. Charles J.
Badger, superintendent of the insttu
ton, however, it was said that the new
administration has not discovered any
indications of the continuance of the
practice, but that under the new haz
ing laws little difficulty would be ex
perienced in nipping its re-establish
ment in the bud.
The practice, as now said to exist,
is mild# and might readily come in the
class of running, as differentiated
from hazing by the midshipmen wit
nesses before the last court-martial.
Besides some of the old features, the
new stunts, according to those who
say that they experienced them, in
cludes the “elephant dance” and the
“relay pie race.”
In the latter, which takes place in
the mess hall, relay teams of five
fourth-class men are named and
forced to race in pie assimilation,
"runners” Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4 being
forced to wait until the cadet Started
just before them has finished his slice
of pie so we.i as to be able to speak
again and say “done.”
The “elephant dance,” also a new
feature recently devised, consists of
making a bunch of fourth-class men
chase one another around a table
with slippers or other similar handy
weapons of offense and score “hits,”
on the nearest portion of the fellow
in front, while at the same time keep
ing out of the way of similar “tag
ging” from the fellow immediately in
the rear.
