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.
I They advertise the fact extensively; it’s the most impor-
Itant fact about any clothes.
They are plenty of good looking clothes for sale that
I 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 Hajt Schaffner & Marx
clothes that you find it worth while to buy your things
here.
That’s a pretty good reason; but there are others,
i 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.

As Direct Result of the
Tent Meetings.
OTHERS ARE GREATLY BENEEiTTED
Dr. Wardlaw Points Out the Great
Benefit the Mid-Summer Meet
inqs Have Been to the City
of Americus.
The tent meetings which have now
been in progress approaching a month,
will probably close this week.
"The meetings have been in every
way a great success,” said Rev. J. P.
Wardlaw of the Methodist church, who
has shown much interest in them.
"As a direct result of the meetings
there will be probably ten to twelve
additions to my church, and I have
no doubt a number of additions to the
other churches. These will he direct
results of the meetings, results that'
can be easily arrived at, and which
can be traced without doubt to the
preaching we have been having for
the past three weeks.
“In addition to those who will unite
with the several churches of the city
in the next week or two there are a
number who have ben led to give the
matter of religion more consideration
than heretofore. A number of these
will become, attendants at one of our
places of worship aud some of them,
at least, will ultimately unite with one
churches.
“It is never posible to tell exactly
how many con -rsions ate brought
| about through a series of meetings
I like this. It is true that some of those
who profess conversion may later
drop off from the church, but theie
are others who take their places in
the church, who trace their conver
tion directly to the influence of such
meetings. As a rule 1 believe there
are more men and women brought to
Christ through such meetings than
we are inclined to think is the case.
“But outside of all til is,” continued
Dr. Wardlaw, "a great good is accom
plished in the healthier tone that is
given to the entire life of the commun
ity. Men’s minds are drawn away for
a time from mere money making.
They are led to see that there is
something higher in life than its
mere business affairs, they are
"brought to think over the future life.
So it is with women. Their minds are
diverted from domestic cares to spir
itual tilings. Hungry §ouls are fed at
these meetings and strengthened for
the temptations and troubles of daily
life. I am a great believer in them,
and I hope that every summer Amer
icus will arrange for a tent meeting,
it is an attractive medium of worship
for both the professed Christian and
those who are not members of the
church, and both classes alike are
benefitted through it.”

THEIR SCALPS
Train Load if Immigrants is
Thrown into Panic.
ALTOONA, August 27. —While the
immigrant train over the Pennsylvan
ia was standing at the station a party
of Red Men, on their way to a big
reunion of the order at Lakemont
Park, caused a panic among the new
ly arrived foreigners, who were stret
ching their limbs after the long ride
from New York. *
The Red Men were dressed like the
genuine old-time Indian warriors, with
faces painted, and wearing long fea
thers in their headgear, and the im
migrants thought they were the real
article they had heard about back
home.
Suddenly the “Indians” gave a fierce
war-hop and commenced flourishing
their tomahawks. The immigrants
fled from the cars in frenzy of fear.
One woman fainted dead away. Child
ren cried and women screamed. Not
one of them could be induced to leave
the train afterwards. They huddled
together afraid of being scalped.
The Story of a Medicine.
Its name—" Golden Medical Discovery*
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients Golden
Beal root.
Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Picrco dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex
tract from our most valuable native mo
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famtHl "Golden Medical Discovery,” for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred derangements was first made, as
It ever sinie has bVn, without a particle
of alcohol in its maice-un.

“To Hell with Americus; the pub
t 1 c be_ d—d.” This seems about the
attitude of the telegraph companies
and the strikers towards this city
which, for nearly three weeks, has
been entirely cut o fffrom all telegraph
communication with the world.
The public may have some rights,
, but the companies and the strikers
do not appear to recognize that fact
in the present situation.
f And the prospect, locally, grows
darker, rather than brighter.
Both Offices Now Closed.
4 Yesterday morning the Postal Com
; pany followed the lead of the Wes
; tern Union and closed up its office in
‘ Americus, appointing a custodian to
t take charge of the property here.
t 1 ’ The Western Union shut up shop
i last Saturday and turned the office
s keys over to the chief of police, who j
■ is now in charge. The Postal took
the cue from this, and yesterday its
;' doors here were shut tight and the
r keys handed to O. T. Johnson,
i This might have been done two
i weeks ago for that matter, as neither
t office has been able to handle any busi

NEW YORK, August 27.—Piercing
the sky line of New York far above
all the other skyscrapers of the down

ing, fast nearing completion will,
within the coming week, exceed in
hight the Washington monument,
whose solid shaft of granite rises 555
feet above the ground.
When the structural steel , workers
riveted home the last steel beam yes
terday before ending their day’s work,
the steel frame of thirty-six floors
had been completed.
Eleven more stories remain to be
built and when the towering pile of
steel and masonry is finished it will
be forty-seven stories high and 812
feet from the sidewalk on Broadway to
the pinnacle. This giant skyscraper
will be tlie highest occupied building
in the world and will overtop all other
exisiting structures except Eiffel tower
in Paris.
When completed a time ball will

and at night the falling hour globe
will be illuminated by three lights,
that will play upon it constantly.

Yates, Who Died Last Week,
Earned Fortune in London.
LONDON, August 27. —No American
captain of industry has hade a more
romantic career than Edward Yates,
a millionaire who died this week at
Walworth, one of London’s humblest
suburbs. From the time when he
came to London, forty vears ago, a
poor bricklayer, he never left the me
tropolis, yet when he died he owned
over 2,000 houses in Walworth alone.
lie owed his vast fortune to his
genius for foreseeing the city's rapid
growth. In his early youth he put his
savings into a land lease in a cer
tain district and obtained a partner
with a small capital. They built forty
cheap cotages, which were let as soon
as they were built. The next year
Mr. Yates branched out alone and
turned his attention to one suburb
after another. His judgment never
failed him. and his schemes were uni
formly successful.
Mr. Yates was a great worker. Once,
when ltjs men refused to work on Sat.
urday afternoon, he obtained two as
sistants and laid bricks himself. He
lived quietly in one of his own cot
tages. He gave vast sums anonymous
ly to charity.
Mr.Yates’ fortune amounted to near
ly £1,000,000.

sumption of business” and “the situa
tion well iu hand" from the standpoint
of the companies. The situation here
belies tlie statement.
Business is Badly Cramped.
In business circles in Americus pro
tests and indignation is heard upon
ail sides regarding the situation. In
cotton and commercial circles gener
ally great loss has been sustained by
the “shut up shop" situation, with no
sign of relief.
Albany, a city much smaller than
Americus, has had its telegraph com
munication resumed. Having a cot
ton exchange, it was never shut out
completely.
But aside from the exchange wire
service, both the Postal and the Wes
tern Union have put new operators in
charge of their offices in Albany, and
J general business has been resumed.
But nothing of this kind is done for
Americus.
It may be weeks—months, ’ere the
offices here are re-opened.
Cotton Men Seek Relief.
Tlie Times-Recorder suggested yes
terday the organization of the
warehousemen and buyers and the es
tablishment of an exchange.
A commercial wire, connected with
the New York Exchange and operated
independently, can be had here, and
1 a meeting of cotton men and other
citizens interested will be held this
, morning at C. J. White’s office to start
' the movement.
The meeting is called for nine
o'clock sharp, and something will be
done thereat to the end of affording
relief and securing the daily market
quotations.
; building is set in bedrock, ninety feet
below tire level of the sidewalk. On
the bedrock were built caissons of ce
ment.
A heavy steel body laid over the
caissons forms the under body of the
structure, fourteen floors of which
comprise the main section of the build
ing from which rises the tower up to
forty-seven stories, with its scores of
office rooms. The engineers says the
total weight of steel and masonry iu
the tower is 18,365 tons, while nearly
10,000 tons of steel have been used in
the framework Eighteen elevators
will carry the 2,500 tenants to their
offices.
Fifteen thousand incandescent lights
sufficient, the engineers say, to light
a town of 25,000 inhabitants, will il
luminate the rooms and hallways for
late office workers. Fifteen miles .of
pipe will be required for steam and
water purposes.
An immense copper lantern will
form the pinnacle of the building from
which at night a powerful searchlight
will flash forth, furnishing a beacon
to mariners that will be visible more
than sixty miles at sea.
BIG SNAKE IS FOUND
DOWN IN A MINE
Miner Has Hard Fight With
Pilot Snake.
TRENTON, N. J., August 27.—John
Hutchinson, the professional blaster
at the quaries on the Mercer County
Farm, a detention institution, had
a thrilling experience today while at
work on a slender ladder in a rocky
chasm 150 feet in depth.
Hutchinson had been lowered just
half way to the bottom of the chasm
and was preparing to place a blast of
dynamite in the rocks, when looking
up, he beheld a monster snake, of
the mountain variety, gliding steal
thily upon him.
He dared not drop the dynamite
lest he cause an explosion that would
have blown him to pieces. He was
obliged to get a tight grip on the rope
or be hurled to the bottom of the pit.
He was unarmed excepting for the
little drill which he carried.
Hutchinson quickly slipped the dy
namite into one of his pockets. Then
he got a fresh grip on the drill and
as the snake dropped almost within
•reach of his hed he struck out vio
lently at the intruder. Again and
again the drill descended, and finally
the reptile dropped to the pit below.
