LOOivS LIKE A VILE SLANDER.
A special to the Atlanta Journal
from Macon says the hotel proprietors
from an parts of Georgia are band
ing- together to "protect themselves
againai supply dealers and the travel
ing men whose sense of honor is not
too great”
The- tooks like a vile slander on the
two classes of men mentioned.
We do not .believe that the supply
men and the traveling men who stop
at the hotels of Georgia are so defi
cient in morals or honor that it has
Ijeco me necessary for the hotel pro
prietors to band together for mutual
protection against them.
The main stay of two thirds of the
hotels of the state are these very
men. If a large proportion of them
•were "without honor” it would have
been known to the world long ago.
Either the Macon correspondent of
the Journal misunderstood what the
bote? men are after, or it lias be
come necessary for the supply men
ami the traveling men to put in a de
cided word for themselves.
Personally, we believe the two
classes of guests referred to will
haV'i the best of the argument, even
If they do want clean sheets and sani
iary surroundings at the hotels.
Tlit "Washington Post wants to see
Bryan and Watson have a heart to

THE SOUTH A '.COMING SAHARA.
To the man who loves a cold bottle
are South promises to soon become a
veritable Sahara.
Mr. John Corrigan. Washington
correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stKiiVVcm, has an exceptionally able
article in this month’s Review of
Bev>fw?s, in which h? handles in an
enterVavnlng way the situation as to
prohibition in this section of the
cmmS rv-
Mr Corrigan asserts upon indispu
table authority that seven-eighths of
the territory of the Southern States
is “"dry" and that a majority of the
Southern population is believed to
be \® favor of prohibition. He as
serts—and it is an extremely interest
ing fMCt —that in all the thirteen Sou
thern States there are fewer saloons
thar in the single city of New York.
He ns notions the fact that President
Tayter, of the National Liquor League
told Ids convention at Atlantic City
that unless something put a stop to
the tidal wave, every State in the
SontY would he closed to liquor.
Tbs day that does not bring out a
few yauhibirion candidates for some
good xditical job is a day lost. It
is strange how many of them would
never have been thought of for the
positions to which they aspire if it
bad not been for prohibition. Bishop
Candler knew that was coining when
he uttered his famous warning.
The Dalton Citizen wants to know
wh\ rhe Atlanta Stove Works should
be allowed to earn a hundred per
cent dividend in a year any more
than a railroad. Let's be consistent,
say.
The Albany Herald insists that the

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1907.
\S THE OTHER SIDE VIEWS IT.
it is well sometimes to take a view
| of the political situation from the
I stand point of the other fellow.
Unfortunately we are ail too prone
to read nothing but papers that re
flect our own views. We deprive
ourselves of the all-round view of con
ditions and outlook that is only to be
had from, a comparison of conflict
ing opinions.
The Philadelphia Press, one of the
old stalwart Republican organs, points
out what it holds to be a fundamen
tal difference in the position ol the
two great political parties at this
time.
Says it:
“The Republican party has its poli
cy decided and is only looking for
the man best able to execute it. The
Democratic party' his neither man
nor policy, except as Bryan supplies
both to some of his party and neither
to much of its membership.
The Republican party stands over
whelmingly for the Roosevelt poli
cies. These have behind them the
party as a whole, rank and file, lead
ers and led. Os this there is no
doubt. No canvass was necessary
to establish it.
On these policies the Republican
party is of one mind. The work Pres
ident Roosevelt has done is to con
tinue. The great conflict between the
the corporation and the law is to he
prosecuted until it is clear to all the
land that the law is to be obeyed.
Legislation on the trust or great pro
ducing corporation is to follow leg
islation on the railroads.
The issue decided, the only question
before the Republican party is the
man best able to execute these poli
cies and complete the work Presi
dent Roosevelt lias begun.
"On this there is an lionet difference
of opinion, but when it is settled all
the party will be found standing on
the same platform and urging the
same policy, one which has behind it
as overwhelmingly a majority of the
American people as of the Republican
party.
"Bryan looms large in the Demo
cratic party, but not even on Bryan
is the party united. It has no policy
on which it is agreed. It has no
platform on which all its members
can or will stand. It has no group
of candidates on which the choice
of the party centers. The nomination
of any Democratic candidate now
named will divide the party and drive
some body of Democrats, large or
small, into the support of some other
candidate and policy.
“It is this bald, blunt, unmistaka
ble fact which makes the canvass,
such as it is, for Bryan empty and
the search for anyone else futile.”
An international tuberculosis Con
gress will convene in Washington
next September. Although a year off
it is looked forward to with great
interest. Consumption carries off
more victims than war, more than any
other two or three diseases together,
and the men who are devoting their
time and brains toward rooting it out
are the true friends of humanity, the
men who are most worthy of praise.
AMUSEMENTS FOR THE PUBLIC.
Those Atlanta newspapers amuse
us.
Here they are scrapping again over
the port rate question.
The Constitution, with all the Z'*ai
of the new convert, froths at the
mouth and yells itself hoar, * against
the governor and the commission for
not expediating reforms.
The administration cannot ladle out
reforms fast enough to satisfy the
insatiate maws of the greedy Consti
tution. Every time it whacks a rail
road a thrill of satisfaction passes
from the garret to the basement.
But the thrills are not coming fast
enough, and now it is screaming for
an extra session of the legislature.
Not far back the Journal, which is
sometimes a trifle more lurid, and
only occasionally a trifle less lurid,
than the Constitution, was also an
advocate of an extra session.
Now the Journal says: “Let the
governor do no such foolish thing.
An extra session is not needed, and
the large expense would be a wilful
waste of the public funds.”
Atlanta will get the port rate in its
favor. Os that there is no doubt. But
the Constitution wants them within
the next tweny-four hours. Like
Hearst, the Journal now assumes a
more conservative tone, for this es
pecial occasion and says: “Remem
ber, dear convert, everything cannot
be done in a month. The commission
cannot compel important questions to
be settled without due investigation.”
In the meantime the Constitution
ought to send around and ask the
Atlanta Stove Works how much
longer it intends to wait on the com
mission for port rates.
“A tariff so arranged as to create
monopoly and to give a few people
the privifbge of preying on the rest
of the people is legalized graft” says
Governor Folk, of Missouri. What
a pity that Folk is not governor of
New York. He would make a magni
ficent democratic candidate for presi
dent.
TO LOQATE A COLLEGE
FOR BOYS INSTATE
Synod to Decide Point of
Location
AT MEETING OT THE PRESBYTERY
Americus Should Make Effort to Se
cure the College to Be Erected
By the Georgia State
Presbytery.
B. I. Hughes, of Rome, has sent
out a statement, concerning the plan
of the Presbyterians of the state to
establish a Prebyterian college in
Georgia and in the statement says
that the hoard of trustees is ready to
receive propositions from any town
or city in the state.
The matter will come up for final
determination at the meeting of the
Presbyterians which is to be held in
Macon on November 16th. The fol
lowing is the statement sent out by
Mr. Hughes:
“The synod of Georgia, at its last
meeting, decided to establish at
some place within its hounds a male
college.
"To this end a board of trustees
was elected to provide ways and
means. Said board now solicits de
finite propositions from any city or
village in the state desiring to take
advantage of the opportunity offered.
"All propositions submitted will be
presented to synod at its next meet
ing, to be held at Macon, on Nov. 6.
Any communications should be ad
dressed to B. I. Hughes.”

Mrs. A. F. Hightow’er announces

BUT FOUR WET SPOTS
IN DEAR OLD TENNY
NASHVILLE, Sept. 28. (Special)
—The supreme court of Tenessee up
holds, in a decision rendered today,
the new prohibition law. There are
now only four cities in the state in
which liquor is sold.
Alive Four Months In a Grave.
Hari Das, the great Hindoo fakir,
who lived In the first half of the nine
teenth century, is the only wonder
worker of modem times who has ever
allowed himself to be buried in the
ground for months. In tli® year 1839
Hari told General Ventura that for a
certain fee he would allow a committee
to test the claims which he made of be
ing able to die and remain dead for
months and then come to life again.
When ail was arranged Hari hypno
tized himself to such a degree that his
circulation was wholly stopped. When
he was pronounced dead to all intents
and purposes he was buried in a gar
den and a high wall built around the
grave. Guards were stationed on the
wall so that interference or deception
would be Impossible. Four months
later Hari was exhumed according to
agreement, and after a few minutes of
vigorous rubbing of his body by friends
he opened his eyes, and an hour later
he was well and able to walk. The
fakir was clean shaven when buried
and is said to have come out of the
grave in the same shape, a fact which
is cited to prove that vitality must
have been completely suspended.

Seventeenth Century Superstitions.
That it is a very unfortunate thing
for a man to meete early in a morning
an ill favored man or woman, a rough
footed Hen, a shag-haird Doggo, or a
blacke Cat. That it is a signe of death
to some in that house, where Crickets
have bln many yeeres, if on a sudden
they forsake the Chimney Corner. That
if a man dream of egs or fire he shall
lieare of anger. That to dreame of the
devil is good lueke. That to dreame of
gold good lueke, but of silver ill. 1 hat
if a man be born in the daytime he
shall l>e unfortunate. That if a child
be born with a Cnule on his head he
shall be very fortunate. That when
the pal me of the right hand itehetli
U is a shrewd sign lie shall receive
money. That it is a great signe of ill
lueke" it Rats gnaw a mans cloathes.
That it is naught for any man to give
a paire of Knives to his sweetheart,
for feare it cuts away all love that is
between them. That it is ill lueke to
have the saltseiler fall toward you.
Food and Digestion.
One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
Is the measure of Its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour
ishing. as regards its mere composi
tion, than half a pound of beef; but
while the beef will bo easily digested,
and thus be of vast service to us, the
cheese Is put out of court altogether
for ordinary folks by reason of its in
digestibility. We should bear this rule
In mind when we hear people compar
ing one food with another In respect ot
their chemical value.
PICTURES ARE SHOWN
DESPITE THE RAIN
Theatre Here Opens With Good
Attraction.
Although it had been raining
steadily for more than twenty-four I
hours and the flooded streets kept
the usual Saturday night crowd in- j
doors, the Hub and Comedy Theatre i
Company through its local manager, j
Mr. Itorry K. Lucas, made good every !
promise and opened the opera house
last night.
A less reliable firm would have j
postponed the opening, because of the j
heavy downpour and the small crowd, i
But Manager Lucas determined to j
carry out every promise made, even j
though in doing so he sustained a
financial loss. "We want to show the
people of Americus that when ws say
a thing we mean it,” said Air. Lucas.
"There are to be no ifs or huts with
us. We are here to stay and we want
the people to understand us at the !
start.”
"If we make a promise we will keep
it. That is why we opened the thea
ter as advertised. While the receipts
were practically nothing when com
pared with the expense, we feel that
we were amply rewarded by the en
thusiastic reception given the pictures
and illustrated songs by those who
did visit us. I would have opened j
even if there had been only one j
person in the audience.
"That is the way we are going to
do business. We are going to give
performances nigtly beginning at 6
o’clock no matter what the weather
conditions are.
"Those who did witness the per
formance are now* walking advertise
ments of the moving picture and
musical show. The films were im
mense and the illustrated song ren
dered by Mr. Percy King was beau
tiful.
Performance will be given nightly
at the opera house with a daily change
of films and songs. The first perfor
mance will be given every evening
at 6 o'clock, with intermissions of
ten minutes.
It has been determined to reserve
all of the balcony for colored peo
ple.
MILLINERY OPENING
NEXT WEDNESDAY
Miss Lula Hay announces to the
ladies her autumn millinery opening
on Wednesday next, 2nd. Miss Hay
will display this season the most
superb lines of fall millinery ever
carried by her, and cordially invites
the ladies to call Wednesday and
inspect the handsome lines of fash
ionable hats.
WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Doan’s Kidney Pills Have Done
Great Service for the People
Who Work in Americus.
Most Americus people work every
day in some strained, unnatural po
sition-bending constantly over a
desk—riding on jolting wagons or
cars—doing laborous housework;
lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying
the back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of filt
ering the poisops from the blood.
Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys, put new strength in bad backs.
Mrs. W. S. Marshall, R. F. D. No. 1,
Dawson, Ga., writes: “My husband’s
back and hips were so stiff and sore
that he could not get up from a chair
without help. I got a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills for him at Dodson’s
Pharmacy, at Americus, and after tak
ing the pills he felt relief in three
days. One box entirely cured him.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Millburn Co., Buffalo,

States.
Remember the name—Doan’s —and
take no other.
“Pennsylvania produced half of the
nation’s coal last year,” Says the Phil
adelphia Press proudly. But it failed
to add, “and nine-tenths of its politi
cal rescality.”
Government supervision of all sav
ings institutions is being urged. Di
rectors who will properly supervise
would be more to the purpose.
The Dalton Times wants to know
what has become of those Georgia oil
wells. Ask the fellows who have
been buying stock.
Congressman Hardwick seems to be
the popular choice for Governor says
the Augusta Herald. We are decided
