International Arbitration. Divorce and
International Trade Were Sub
jects Discussad at Meet
ing Thursday.
PORTLAND, ME., August 29.
Brilliant members of the bar and dis
tinguished jurists and publicists of
America and Europe filled the as
sembly room of the City Ilall today
at the opening of the twenty-fourth
conference of the International Law
Association. The meeting follows
that of the American Bar Associa
tion, in session here the earlier part
of the week, and many of the distin
guished members of the American as
sociation have remained to take part
in the international association.
The international Law Association
consists of eminent representatives
of the bench and bar of the civilised
world.
It was formerly known as the as
sociation for the reform and codifi
cation of the law of nations.
The object for which it was or
ganized at Brussels in 1873, just af
ter the work of the Geneva tribunal
was finished, was the advancement of
international arbitration.
Among its presidents have been
David Dudley Field,, former presi
dent of the American Bar Associa
tion; Mr. Auguste Vissolhors of
Brussels; Sir Travers Swiss, Q. C.,
Lord Alvertone and Mrs. Justice Ken
nedy of Ixmdon; Commendatore P.
Boselli of Turin, Dr. R. Koch of
Berlin, Dr. Fredercik Sieveking of
Hamburg and F. V. N. Reichman of
Trondhjem.
The honorary president of the con
ference, Chief Justice Simeon E.
Baldwin of the Supreme Court of
Connecticut, called the gathering to
order this morning and delivered the ,
inaugural address.
The three subjects discussed dur
ing the day were international arbi
tration, divorce jurisdiction, and in
ternational trade.
Among those presenting papers
were W. G. Smith of Philadelphia,
Prince de Cassano of Rome, Dr. W.
Evans Darby of London, Professor
C. Noble Gregary of the University of
lowa, A. C. Schroder of Zurich, J.
H. Balfour Browne, M. P., of Lon
don, and J. Arthur Barrett of New
York.
THE RIGHT TO ROUTE
FREIGHT IS SUBJECT
Discussed Yesterday By Agents
of Lines.
CHICAGO, ILL., August 29.—Rep
resentatives of influential commercial
organizations throughout the coun
try were on hand today at the open
ing of the conference called by the
National Industrial League. The
expressed purpose of the league,
which was formed at a conference
here three weeks ago, is to weld to
gether and make more effective the
efforts of the members toward what
some of them term commercial free
dom.
The league will endeavor to bring
about a better co-operation between
the shippers, railroads and the fed
eral and state railroad commissions
in matters of mutual concern.
Perhaps the most important sub
ject up for consideration at the present
meeting is the ruling giving to the
initial railroad the right to route the
freight. The shippers believe that
with the right to route their freight
as they please they will be able to
secure better service from the roads,
and they insist that it is their legal
right.
The Knoek-ont Blow. 1
The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was tho region of
the stomach, he’d have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing

AMERICUS GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30. 1907.
AMERICUS HAS OFFICE OPEN
WESTERN UNION DoiUBUSINESS WITH WORLD
Manager Legg Placed in Cha.ge of Office Here aud Business is Handled
With the Usual Dispatch.
The “strike” situation in Americus
assumed an altogether different phase
yesterday morning when B. H. Legg,
the newly appointed manager here,
called upon Chief of Police Feagin
for the keys and once more opened
up the local office.
The office had been closed since
Saturday last when former Manager
Clark, upon orders from the superin
tendent, surrendered the keys to the
chief and got out. '"
And for the first time in nearly three
weeks Americus has wire communica
tion again.
Manager Legg soon had the office
put in shape for business. The wires
which were cut by unknown parties
last week were soon repaired, and by
10 o’clock the office announced ready
for business and was taking messages.
The changed situation afforded an
immense relief to the business men
of the city who, for almost three
weeks, were unable to get messages
through to any point. In fact, stagna
tion, almost, prevailed in commercial
circles in Americus.
Both offices were tied up by the
A MULTITUDE AT INSTITUTE
FARMERS OE DISTRICT WILL ASSEMBLE TODAY
Sumter, Schley and Macon lounty Folks to Gather in Force at the District
Institute Held in Ellaville.
The Farmers institute for the Thir
teenth senatorial district will be held
today in Ellaville and hundreds of
the good people of the three counties
comprising the district, Sumter, Ma
con and Schley will assemble there
In good fellowship.
It will be a gala occasion, and one
of interest and profit as well to the
farmers there assembled.
Hon. Harvie Jordan, with other dis
tinguished speakers who will address
the assemblage, arrived in Americus
last night, and will go to Ellaville in
carriages this morning.
The only means of getting there
will be by private conveyance.
Mr. Jordan will go as the guest of
Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Wheatley,
while Mrs. Joseph Jerdine, who will
deliver a most interesting address up
on home work on the farm, will go
as the guest of Capt. and Mrs. John
A. Cobb in their carriage.
A sumtuous dinner will be served
in the grove near the courthouse, and
the guests will be invited to the royal
spread of the season.
Following is the official program
arranged for the meeting:
Open at 10 a. m. at the Courthouse,
Judge R. E. L. Eason, Vice-President,
presiding, with prayer by a local min
ister.
Object of the session explained by
COTTON NEWS OF INTEREST
What is Going on In Realms of. the Fleecy
King.
Probably 250 or 300 bales of cotton
came In yesterday to swell the total
in Americus werehouses, and in cot
ton circles generally there were evi
dences of greatest activity. For the
season is on in Americus, and the flee
cy tide is rolling.
Fifteen hundred bales will make
up the week's receipts in Americus;
pretty good for a week thus early in
the season.
And the price—13 1-2 cents—al
most too good to be true.
At the L. G. Council Warehouse, for
instance, one lot of 103 bales sold by
Mr. Council brought $7,225.53, or an
average price of more than S7O per
bale. This is a happy condition, and
one calculated to make the farmer
smile.
At that warehouse alone yesterday
the wagon receipts were 120 bales, the
first day upon which the hundred
hale mark has been reached by any
house here.
And today the receipts at all the
warehouses will stack up until the
EOO hale mark, probably, is passed by.
Picking on plantations about Am
ericus has been rushed this week and
MR. PERRY IS STILL
DOING VERY WELL
Following His Operation For
Appendicitis.
Mr. W. A. Perry, residing near Ameri
cus and who was operated upon for
appendicitis a day or two ago was
getting on very well yesterday and
•will recover from the trying ordeal.
The operation was skillfully perform
ed by Dr. Westmoreland of Atlanta;
Dr. Logan and Dr. Jordan.
w One way is 10 pay no attention to it; at
Wf L , \X - - least, not until it develops into pneumonia,
I nJ fit'll I ol£ or bronchitis, or pleurisy. Another way is
to ask your doctor about Ayer’s Cherry

strikers, and there was absolutely
nothing doing here.
Then came the order Friday from
headquarters to “get to work or get
out.” Offices over the state were
opened up this week rapidly as new
men could be secured to handle the
keys, and yesterday Americus was
next on the list.
Manager Legg at once took hold,
and during the day handled expedi
tiously all the messages tendered. And
there was a hunch of them, one may be
sure. For the first time in eighteen
days press matter was handled here.
A policeman was kept on duty
near the front of the Western Union
office all day, but there was little de
monstration upon the part of the strik
ers or their sympathizers.
It is expected that the Postal Tele
graph Co’s office, now closed, will be
likewise straightened out in a very
short time. Tim company has re
sumed business in Albany, with a new
manager in charge, and will also
“open up” in Americus.
The strike, it is hoped, is a thing
of the past, so far as Americus’ in
terests are concerned.

the open cotton picked out in prime
condition. It is due to this high
quality, as much as to the demand,
that brings such excellent prices now.
There has been not a drop of rain
this week to stain the open cotton,
although rain is very much needed.
1 Cotton is shedding rapidly now for
lack of moisture.
i Private reports of dry weather still
prevailing in parts of Texas were re
ceived, hut for the present it appear
ed that this condition has been dis
■ counted.
More specific reports will probably
i have to be received of damage either
• by drouth or boll weevil before much

BABIES ON PARADE
AT ASBURY PARK
Great Annual Show Yesterday a
Success.
ASBURY PARK, N. J., August 29.
—Asbury Park's world-famous par
ade took place today. Bedecked in
flowers and gold and tinsel more than
five hundred infants held festal and
while many thousands of spectacles
applauded the inspiring and beautiful
spectacle.
And how they marched —with such
proud and prancing step, while the
younger tots chirped and cooed and
held out their little arms as they were
trundled along in baby coaches and
go-carts.
From the coaches littered with
flowers and ferns there peeped ever
and anon a baby face all wreathed in
smiles; pudgy little hands threw
kisses from the floats and baby wag
ons. Infantile grace and beauty held
sway, under canopy and golden
dome.
It enconced itself in rich satined
embrasures and found conspicious
display in patriotic and mysterical
groupings upon the big floats and
piece designs that gave to the line
Its most imposing dignity.
Fully 20,000 persons lined the side
walks along Ocean avenue, while a
countless number of others viewed
the procession from the hotel piaz
zas and the windows and roofs of the
cotages and buildings adjacent to the
avenue. At the conclusion of the
pageant the prizes were awarded
amid much enthusiasm.
