4MERICUS MAN WRITES
' LETTER TO “THE" PRICE
Respect to Cotton Situa
tion.
TELLS THEODORE COTTON
.Over Signature of “Georgia Farmer”
an Americus Man Raised Upon
a Farm Talks Back at the
Great Big Bear.
Several days ago the State papers,
, as well as several Northern publica
tions, gave space to an open letter
addressed to Theodore Price, regard
ing the cotton situation, and deriding
the opinion of the big boss bear that
the price of cotton would eventually
tumble to eight cents.
As this “Georgia Farmer” is an
Americus traveling man, tho’ raised
upon a farm and a farm owner now,
the Times-Recorder, by request, re
produces the letter for its readers.
Those who know the author can
best appreciate his remarkable epis
tle, which here follows:
Air. Theodore H. Price,
82 Beaver St., New York.
Dear Sir: I have read your card
of Sept. 7th carefully and would beg
to say that I am very much surprised
that a man of your ability should
make such an unreasonable state
ment. I thoroughly appreciate your
position in the cotton business and
you certainly must have arrived at
your conclusion through your desire
and not from facts in getting out this
■card.
1 am quite sure that you do not
honestly believe that all the South
ern people are entirely void of intel
ligence.
1 have traveled through Georgia,
Texas, Mississippi and a portion of
Louisiana, and have consulted with
the majority of the largest cotton
mill men in the country, and when I
read your card it seemed like a joke.
1 have a small plantation myself.
Will make this year from six to eight
hundred bales of cotton. You are no
doubt in sympathy with the Southern
people, and to relieve your mind of
any special worry in their behalf
would beg to suggest that you do not
lose any sleep over the South selling
any of their 1907-08 cotton at 8 cts.
1 take pleasure in informing you
that the Southern farmers are in
much better financial condition than
you think they are.
I am informed by good authority
that, the farmers in the above states
whch I have covered are only selling
their first cotton to meet immediate
demands, and will hold balance of
their crops until they can get the
actual value for their products. It
has cost the Southern people 8%
to 10 cents per pound to make this
crop, and they are in position to de
mand a profit on same.
The mill people have got to have
the cotton and the banks are glad to
get the business.
I had recently a personal inter
view with the president of one of the
largest cotton mills in this section,
and having just taken inventory of
their business, informs me that they
made over 80 per cent, the past yeai
and have sold their product for the
next 12 months on a 15 cents basis,
and can if necessary pay that price
for cotton and make good money.
Pardon me for troubling you with
such a lengthy letter, but the abo\e
are cold and unvarnished facts, so
you need not worry about low pi ice
cotton for 1907-08 crop.
Yours truly,
GEORGIA FARMER.

FARMERS IN NEED OF
HELP IN FIELDS
Along Seaboard Cotton Pickers
Are Wanted.
Because of the unprecedented scar
city of labor the cotton fields in
scores of places along the Seaboard
Air Line between Savannah and Am
ericus are in a deplorable condition.
In many places in this section of
Georgia the fields are white with
cotton, with no one to pick it.
Said a farmer:
“It is simply impossible to get
hands at any price. They simply
won’t work, no matter what induce
ments are held out to them.
“They promise to come into the
fields, but don’t show up. They won’t
work on a farm that is not near
enough town to permit of them go
ing in every night. The hands all
want to go to town at night and gam
ble their money away.
“Many of the fields are in very
bad shape and the steady downpour
two days ago isn’t going to help the
cotton a bit.
“Under exisiting conditions it is
believed the farmers would welcome
(immigrants or anybody else who
would go into the cotton fields and
help gather the crops.
EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science lias Now Found the True Way
To Cure Indigestion.
A few years ago, when a sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was a rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the musuclar walls of,
the stomach and intestines, so that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no nother way can this be
done as well as by taking Mi-o-na
tablets before each meal.
This restores strength to the stom
ach muscles and stimulates the pour
ing out of gastric juices, so that the
food is digested readily and its nuor
ishment retained in the system to
build up energy and vitality.
Do not think the sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and the many other
/symptoms that are the direct result of
indigestion, will go away of themsel
ves. The stomach must be built up
and strengthened by Mi-o-na before
you can be well and strong, free from
suffering and distress.
The guarantee that Dodson’s Phar
macy gives with every 50-cent box of
Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless
the remedy cures, shows their confi
dence in the treatment. 25-27-2
GOVERNOR PROMISES
HIM IMMUNITY
ial) —Governor Beckham has offered
immunity to ex-Gov. Taylor if he will
return to Kentucky and testify in
the Powers trial for the murder of
Goebel. The Goebel case is still the
centre of political action in this state.
It is not believed thht Taylor will
accept the governor’s offer. He is
known to have told friends that he
believed he would be assassinated if
he came to Kentucky.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

ENID, 0K1.A,. Oct. 1. (Special)
Farmers and horsemen of a half-doz
en states will assemble at the na
tional convention of the Anti-Horse
Thief association, which commences
its session in this city to-morrow.
This unique organization, while
perpetuating the vigilance societies
of the early days of the West, co-op
erates with the civil authorities in
bringing all offenders to justice and
aiding in the recovery of stolen prop
erty.
That amateur sleuths are often
more successful than their profes
sional brethren is shown by the his
tory of the association, and in the
state prisons of tlie West and the
Southwest there are. now scores of
criminals who owe their capture to
the members of the Anti-Horse Thief
association.
The activities of the association are
not now confined to the capture c\f
horse thieves, but robbers, burglars,
incendiaries, vagrants and criminals
of all kinds who prey on society are
the sworn foes of the association’s
membership. “Protect the innocent
and bring the guilty to justice,” is
the motto of the body, emphasized in
many criminal proceedings in recent
years.
The present membership of the
association numbers* 32,000, a gain of
4,000 in the last year. Kansas leads
with 15,000. Oklahoma and Indian
Territory have 10,000, Ohio 2,400, Il
linois 1,800, Missouri 2,000, and Ar
kansas 1,500 members. The conven
tion will be devoted to the transac
tion of the regular business before
the body and to social and enter
tainment features provided by the
Oklahoma members.
President John W. Wall, of Par
sons, Kan., will preside at the conven
tion. W. B. Parker, of Spurgeon,
Mo., is vice president, and J. M.
Pence, of Morrisonville, 111., secre
tary.
The Anti-Horse Thief association
had its origin during the civil war,
when many lawless bands of thieves
and bandits scourged the border
country and preyed upon honest cit
izens. The first lodge was organized
at Clark county, Missouri, the
capture of horse thieves being its
especial object. This was in 1863,
and before the war has closed the
association had spread to many other
states.
In some cases, where the civil
authorities were unable to cope with
offenders, horse thieves were meted
out speedy justice at the ends of
ropes. With the return of establish
ed order the society confined its ef
forts to aiding the regularly consti
tuted legal officers. With large funds
at its disposal and thousands of mem
bers of the lookout for criminals, the
association has rendered it unprofit
able, expensive and exceedingly
risky to steal from a member.

great sacrifice, and we have decided to give our customers who have enabled
us to maintain the business, the benefit of the same, so if you want
the goods at any Tair discount they are yours.
Most of our goods are worth more now than they cost at the factory, or
could be bought at first hands, but we are going to cut everything, as we
must get rid of the goods and close up the business. We invite country
