i
For More Land.
i
) Yesterday Principal M. W. Reddick,
I of the Americus Institute, received a
check for SI,OOO from Supt. H. L. More
house, of the American Baptist Home
Mission Society.
The SI,OOO was a donation from the
General Educational Board, through
the Home Mission Society, to the Am
ericus Institute, and will be used with
the SSOO raised among the colored peo
ple of this vicinity for the purchase of
additional land for the Institute.
Principal Reddick will now start
work on the collecting 9/ funds for
the dormitory and industrial school
building. As soon as he has raised
SI,OOO for that purpose there will be
another SI,OOO donation from the Gen
eral Educational Board. He hopes to
raise the entire SI,OOO among the col
ored people by October 15.
The Americus Institute has been
promised $3,000, in payments of SI,OOO
each, as soon as its friends contribute
similar amounts. This is outside of
the contribution for the purchase of
land.

SERECTARY ROOT A
MULDOON PATIENT
Was in Bad Shape From a
Nervous Breakdown
BIT IS SAID TO Bt IMPROVING
Got Out of the Hurly-Burly for Three
Weeks Before the World Knew
Where He Was-Worried Over
Things That Had Never
Happened.
NEW YORK, August 26.—Secretary
of State Eliliu Root, who has already
spent three weeks at the farm sanitar
ium of William C. Muldoon, the one
time champion wrestler, near White
Plains, taking Mr. Muldoon’s course of
athletic treatment for a severe ner
vous exhaustion, expects to complete
his cure in two weeks more. He is
now well on the road to complete re
covery, anil all reason for apprehen
sion about his health seems to have
disappeared.
On the quiet farm among the West
chester hills, so secluded that the Sec
retary of State was enabled to pass
three weeks there and be visited by
the President of the United States be
fore his whereabouts was discovered
by the Root has llesheil up,
put on a healthy coat of tan, lost the
drawn, worried look of the early sum
mer, and will be back to Washington,
as Mr. Muldoon phrases it, "the
strongest member of the Cabinent, not
even barring Taft.”
Takes Vigorous Exercise.
During the first two weeks of his
stay' he gained a pound a day, acquir
ing therewith such a stock of energy
that he w'as today able to ride eight
een miles, walk three miles, anil, iu ad
dition to the usual course of exercise
with the big medicine ball, box fifteen
minutes vigorously with Muldoon.
When visited on the veranda of the
Muldon residence his face showed good
color, his eyes were clear, and his
hand stead. He looked a trifle tired,
but otherwise well. Mr. Root asked to
be excused from talking about his
health, but his appearance was a suffi
cient contradiction of the exaggerated
reports of a complete breakdown. His
physician visited him today, but left
without making any arrangements for
his return.
Victim of Nervous Exhaustion.
According to Mr. Muldoon, Secretary
Root, when he arrived, was suffering
from nervous exhaustion, the result of
overwork and strain.
“He was very nervous,” said the ex
athelete; “more so than I ordinarily
care to see patients. Ilis brain was
tired, he was anxious, and worried
about things which never happened
and never could happen. He was very
weak then, but when he goes back he
will be the strongest member of the
Cabinet. He is taking a course of ex
ercise suited to his age and strength,
and goes at his work with the energy
you would expect from a man who has
come to the front as he has. Pie
knows something about boxing, too —
seems to have learned it as a boy and
never forgotten.”
During his stay at White Plains Mr.
Root has ben rsting as much as possi
ble from mental work.
Though no special effort has been
made at secrecy, Mr. Root's presence
has been quite unnoticed. He had
ridden almost daily with the other pa
tients over the roads about White
Plains, several times passing through
the town, and had received his private
secretary for the transaction of neces
sary State Department business. His
presence at the sanitarium became
known through the filing at the local
telegraph office of dispatches for the
State Department.

As the weather gets less fierce the
roller skate reappears. The craze will
suddenly break out again in Americus
ere long.
The only “unoccupied" buildings in
Americus are the two desirable places
formerly used by the Postal and the
Western Union.
Mr. Robert Miller is prepared to do
all kinds of tin repair work. He has
opened a shop in the hotel block, on
Windsor street.
The old shed at the Mims corner
was pulled down yesterday. No one
believed that it would ever come down,
but it did, finally.
The Epworth Leaguers concluded all
business yesterday and finally adjourn
ed after a session of three or four
days in Americus.
Americus will easily get 1500 bales
of cotton this week. Farmers are keep
ing things warm while th& price stays
at thirteen cents.
The “old hoss” sale at the Seaboard
depot this morning will attract the us
ual contingent of buyers in search of
the usual bargains.
Thirteen cents cotton ought to pro
mote matrimony in Americus but it
does not. Perhaps the figure 13 is
responsible therefore.
The Times-ltecorder is beseigod dai
ly by people wanting small houses,
or rooms for light housekeeping. Nei
ther are to be had here.
While the weather at midday is a
trifle strenuous, the nights are delight
fully cool. The worst of the summer
seems to have passed.
Americus is still up against that
oat famine, along with other cities
short on this commodity as one of the
results of the strike.
The beautiful residence of Mr. Ed
win Bell on Lee street and College is
nearing completion and is one of the
handsomest in the city.
A single bale of cotton sold yester
day netted the owned SB7. At SB7 per
bale the poor farmer hopes to be able
to pull through somehow.
It is rumored that one of the fair
teachers in the city schools may not
resume her duties there. Possibly due
to the very trying weather.
Cotton continued to bring 13 cents
readily in Americus yesterday, and
the smile on the face of the farmer
broadened correspondingly.
This is the last week of the early
closing season. After Friday next, the
stores will remain open until a later
hour during the fail season.
See Bagley’s buggies before you buy.

Forty Million Dollars the Odin in
Voices Over Last Year-Gain in
Corporation Values large
as Well.
ATLANTA, August 26.—The last of
the county digests were received to
day at the office of the controller gen
eral, Burke county coming in with a
gain over last year of $139,078 and
Mclntosh with a gain of $30,145. This
brings the total net gains on the
general tax digests for the entire state
ui> to $39,319,053, which is about $3.-
000,000 less than the gains recorded
last year over the digests of 1905.
Sixteen counties showed losses this
year aggregating $931,081, which were
subtracted from the gross gains in the
other 130 counties, making the net
gains for the state as given above.
There is considerable doubt about
what increases will he secured in the
valuations of corporation property,
returns for which are made to the
controller general The assessments
were put up nearly $60,000,000, but
in almost every case arbitrated these
have been reduced one-half or two
thirds, so that this amount will be
considerably cut down.
If the values of corporation proper
ty are pushed up $30,000,000 this year,
giving a total of $70,000,000 gain over
1906, the result may be considered a
splendid one.
FIRE IN TINNER’S KIT
CAUSE OF ALARM
Workmen Were Surprised to See
the Firemen.
A ludicrous situation confronted the
fire department yesterday in a “blaze"
on College street, although the steam
ed and heated firemen did not laugh
over it,, and have not smiled since.
Tinners W'ere at work upon the roof of
the Niles residence, having with them
the small hand furnace always carried
by the craft. Some la'dy a block or
two away on Lee street saw the
blaze from the little furnace, and
without stopping to look for the
masculine attachment she promptly
turned in a fire alarm. The trucks
speeded a mile through the broiling
sun and the jolly tinners looked down
in surprise at the firemen as they un
reeled the hose preparatory to extin
guishing their furnace. And the
alert Lee street lady is wondering
how she could have made such a mis
take, really.
Rest for Mlllworkers.
