AMERICUS CAMP IS
FORGING TO FRONT
From Eighteen Members in a
Year to Seventy.
Sixty years ago there assembled in
the city of Philadelphia a small band
of patriots, who organized them
| selves into an association to incul
cate pure American principals, to
I j teach loyalty to American institutions,
to cultivate fraternal affection, to
') oppose foreign interference directly
jor indirectly in state or national af
i fairs.
It opposes all appropriations of
! public monies for sectarian purposes,
to preserve the constitution of the
United States, to defend and maintain
i the American. system of public schools
i and uphold and maintain the sacrcd-
I ness of the ballot.
The history of this Order Patriotic
I Sons of America from that time un
! til now is sufficient evidence that the
teachings of the order wore sown on
| fertile soil, for history records the
, fact that the nations first defenders
during the civil war was composed of
| five regiments, the majority of which
were enlisted from among the ranks
i of the P. O. S. of A.
And their quota served in the late
I unpleasantness with Spain. There
are 25 camps in the state of Georgia.
! Camp 24 of Americus was instituted
! in June of last year, with a member
| ship of eighteen. It now has a mem
: bersliip of over seventy, Including
the following class received last
| night:
C. F. Giddings, C. A. Chambliss, H.
! E. Allen, J. M. Shy, R. I). Smoot, W.
H. Chappell, W. F. Hall, W. H. Jones,
; R. A. Shy, B. F. Stubbs, J. P. West,
R. L. Barton, and a class of ten
! waiting to be initiated next Monday
| evening, 30tli.
This camp Is in a very flourishing
| condition and the members are en
j thusiastic in their work.
TINSLEY AND POWELL
ELECTED TO FORCE
| Succeed Police Officers Willis
and Westbrook.
William Tinsley and D. R. Powell
i were elected ermanently to the po
lice force at the meeting of the Po
lice Commission yesterday, succeed
ing Police Officers Westbrook and Wil
lis, for their terms which expire on
April Ist, next.
There were a number of applicants
j for the two positions on the force
| to be vacated October Ist, Messrs.
Tinsley and Powell winning.
Both are well known here, Mr.
Powell already being on the force
temporarily, by appointment.
Officers Willis and Westbrook gave
notice some time since that they would
resign October Ist, having accepted
better positions with a large tobacco
company at Amsterdam, Ga., where
they will go shortly as farm superin
tendents.
The city council last week recom
mended the election of two extra j
men to serve on the force from Octo- ;
her 15 to January Ist, but the Com- j
mission did not select them at the ]
meeting yesterday.
RECOVERS FROM A
VERY BAD BURNING
Mr. Hooks Is Again in City on
Business.
The many friends of Mr. Thomas |
B. Hooks, who was so badly burned
about the face and head a week ago
u> the explosion of a gas tank, were ;
glad to see him in the city again yes
terday with only slight marks of his
painful experience. While adjusting
the tank the contents ignited, and
Mr. Hooks was knocked a considerable
I distance by the force of the explo
i sion. A solid column of flame struck
him upon the chest, and only his
j heavy clothing saved him from pro
bably fatal injury. His face and hair
were severely scorched, hut he has
! since entirely recovered from the
burns iufiicted.
“The largest dam in the South has
just been completed” says the Rome
Tribune. But wait, says the Augusta
Herald, until you hear from the far
j mer, who is now selling his cotton
for eleven and a fraction, when his
neighbor shall get fifteen cents a lit
tle later.

The Brooklyn Standard Union an
nounces that the navy department has
purchased five mules for breeding
j purposes. Is nature faking to be-
I come a feature of the navy?
In eight years the Standard Oil
: Company profits have amounted to
; nearly $500,000,000. No trouble to

The fine of $29,000,000 begins to look

items that got lost in the Standard
Oil bookkeeping shuffle.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1907.
! BUILDING WORLD’S
LARGEST STACK
Will Be Eighth Wonder of the
World.
SEATTLE, Sept. 24. (Special)
1 Ten thousand tons of concrete are
being used in the foundation for the
506-foot smokestack in course ofcon
j struction by the Boston and Montana
Mining Company at Indian Point, just
across the river from Great Falls,
Mont. When completed, the stack
I will he the largest in the world, liav
i ing a diameter of fifty fact inside at
j the top.
Umh r charge of Chief Engineer
Scott' ii, of the Boston and Montana
j Company, in this city, the work of
| making the foundation has been start
! ed, and the great concreate mixer is
pouring 250 tons of the mixed article
daily into the great hole which marks
the foundation of the great stack.
Although the foundation lies in
sight of the city, and within a few
minutes of the street car line, but
few persons have seen the starter for
the big stack or realize its propor
tions.
One of the necessities for the build
ing of the big stack was the building
of a railroad to the top of the hill for
the bringing up of supplies, which
was not completed until a few weeks
since. The new road, with its branch-
I es, is about four miles in length.
The stack will be the highest struc
ture of similar kind in the world, ex
cept the Eiffel tower in Paris and the
Washington monument in the nation's
capital, being about forty-nine feet
lower than the latter. In the seaffold
! ing necessary to building there will
| be 500,000 feet pf lumber. When com
| pleted, it wil be the eighth wonder of
the world, and already is attracting
the atention of scientific men through
out the country.
FORMER RESIDENT
VISITS AMERICUS
i
Returns After Absence of Thirty
Years.
Mr. Joseph J. Chappell, who has
been spending a few days in Americus
with his brother, Dr. T. A. Chappell,
is a former resident of Americus, al
though for thirty years he has been
living in Southern California. Back
in the seventies Mr. Chappell w r as
| in the employ of Mr. J. J. Granberry,
jat the old corner now occupied by
; the Dodson Pharmacy. At that time
he knew every man, woman and child
in the city, but after a lapse of more
than thirty years he comes back to
find everything ohanged and strange
faces where once all were familiar.
During his pleasant stay of nearly a
week here Mr. Chappell has met but
few of those whom he knew in the long
ago, and these are not as youthful
now afe at that time.
MR. CARTER TO OPEN
BANK ON LONG ISLAND
For Witham Co. But Retains
Position at Parrott.
Mr. Sim J. Carter, formerly a resi
dent of Americus, but for some years
past doing business in Parrott, has
j gone to Amityville, Lang Island,
X. Y., to open a bank for W. L. With
am & Co. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Carter, who used to be known
in Americus as Miss Fannie Camp
bell. They expect to return to Par
rott later in the season, as Mr. Car
; ter still retains his position in the
bank at that place. Dr. and Mrs.
A. B. Campbell continue to make
their home in Parrott.
GUN WORK IS POOREST
KNOWN IN GEORGIA
Shootfest in Columbus Ends in
Failure.
COLUMBUS, GA., Sept. 24.—An ex
citing duel took place at Young Mor
| ris' saloon on Sixth avenue last night
| when Morris and Warnie Young, had
j a difficulty. Young was ejected from
j the saloon and went off and got his
: shot gun. When lie returned the
I fusilade began. Morris fired at Young
; five times with a pistol, but every
shot missed. Young blazed away at
the other with a shot gun. Morris
dodged behind a screen jut in time
to escape injury. Neither party was
injured in the slightest.
The reason why the land assess
ments in many counties aren't higher
is said to be that it is a much simpler
task to raise the railroad assessments.
Local politics in Macon is waxing
warm in the mayoralty contest be
tween Judge A. L. Miller and Mr.
John T. Moore.

GOES ON THE BLOCK

Be Sold.

ial)—The famous old frigate Sara
toga, now at the League Island navy
yard and which was stricken from
the active list of vessels of the navy
a short time ago, will be put up for
sale at public auction Thursday. The
vessel is one of the most famous of
the old American men-of-war. She
was constructed at Portsmouth, N. H.,
and launched on July 26, 1842. In
the years that followed she made a
name for herself in the suppression
of the slave traffic and in the Mexi
can war, and had among her comman
ders such famous sailors as Farragut,
Shtibrick and Tatnall. She was nam
ed to commemorate the name of Com
modore Perry’s famous flagship Sara
toga, on which he fought the battle
of Lake Erie. She was larger than
any ship of her class in existence at
the time of her construction.

he is not only the 1 in a 1000, but
that all other men are represented

WORKING WOMEN,

MRS.S, BBOTT MRS. PREE^MPKIfRICK
Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, dusting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
is “never done” and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, inflammation
or ulceration of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re
cuperating therefrom it is most effi
cient. It carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to he a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette,
Pa., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkliam —
“I suffered severely with pain every
month and also a pain in my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did ine no
good; 4 friend advised Lydia E. l'inkham s
Vegetable Compound and l wrote you in
regard to my condition. I followed yous
advice and am a perfectly well woman. The
pains have all disappeared and I cannot
recommend your medicine too highly."

Mrs. Free McKitrick, of La Farge,
Wis., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
“For six years I suffered from female
weakness. I was so irregular that I would
go from three weeks to six months, so I
thought I would give Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound a trial.
“Now I am once more well and can do my
work without a pain. Any one who wishes,
can write to mo and I will answer all letters
gladly.”
Women should remember that Lydia
E. I’inkham's Vegetable Compound
holds the record for the greatest
number of actual cures of female ills.
