Poured Campagne Down
The Necks of Women.
AT THE SWELL KERMISS DINNER
INovv They are Being Roasted By the
Clergymen-Evidently Packertown’s
Tour Hundred Have High Jinks
When There is a Little Wine
Aboard.
CHICAGO, October 3.—The city is
■still agog with gossip resulting from
the pupit crusade against women
drinking, which reached a climax with
the publication of charges that mem
bers of the “400” had engaged in a
disgraceful “spill,” the
kirmess winter before last. The
charges against certain society wo
men have been made by Rev. F. G.
Smith, pastor of the Warren Avenue
Congregational Church, who came to
the aid of Rev. F. . Hopkins, of Pil
grim Congregational Church, who
originated the crusade.
The minister declared that at the
conclusion of the kirmess several of
<Bie society women, together with
their escorts, took part in a cham
pagne dinner. He declared that it
had been charged that before the din
ner was concluded the contents of
bottles of wine were poured over the
fine gowns of the women, over their
heads, and over the clothes of the
men.
Society leaders are fighting back
vigorously, but in the absence of Mrs.
Stanley Field, who had charge of the
kirmess, and who at present is visit
ing relatives in Baltimore, no official
denial could be made.
Women who atended the affair de
clared that there is not a word of
truth in the story that the cham
pagne which remained unsold was
disposed of by the younger society
leaders drinking two quarts apiece,
and then tossing the rest of the wine
over the floor and pouring it down
the necks of the women present.
They denied the statement made by
Miss Helen Hale that not one bottle
of champagne was allowed to re
main uncorked while there was a
sober woman left in the room.
Another sensational statement by
Miss Hale, who was quoted by Dr.
Lewis, referred to a dinner-dance
given by a women, where the “Floro
dora” sextet was engaged to sing and
dance. Miss Hale alleges one of the
girls of the sextet informed her that
the scene was disorderly in the ex
treme.
The kirmess was the most brilliant
affair of the winter before last, and
included all the society leaders of
Chicago.
STOP THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
Weakens the Tissues and Lessens Or
ganic Vitality.
The stress and strain of the stren
uous life in both city and country
tends towards stomach troubles.
Five people suffer today where one
did ten years ago with sick head
ache, dizziness, flatulence, distress af
ter eating, specks before the eyes,
bloating, nervousness, sleeplessness i
and the many other symptoms of in
digestion.
All who are suffering with stom
ach troubles, and that means at least
two out of three in Americus and
other towns, should use Mi-o-na
stomach tablets. Nothing else is as
safe, yet effective; nothing else can
be so thoroughly relied upon to re
lieve all troubles from indigestion
as Mi-o-na.
It :s not a mere digestive taken af
ter the food is eaten, but a true tonic,
stimulant and strengthener for the
muscular walls of the stomach, in
creasing the flow of digestive fluids
and putting the stomach into such
condition that it does the work na
ture expects of it.
So reliable is Mi-o-na in its cura
tive action that Dodson’s Pharmacy,
with every 50-cent boy thej sell give
a guarantee to refund the money un
less the remedy does all that is claim
ed for it. 4-9-11.
Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla.,
writes; "1 can thank God tor my
present health, due to Folej s Kidenv
Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds
of kidney cures, but nothing done me
much good till I took Foley’s Kid
ney Cure. Four bottles cured me,
and I have no more pain in my back
and shoulders. I am 62 years old,
and suffered long, but thanks to
Foley’s Kidney Cure, I am well and
can walk and enjoy life myself. It i 3 a
pleasure to recommend it to those

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
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

War Ahead on Bogus Mining
Companies.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—(Special)—
A determined war on mining stock
companies of a fradulent character
will be inaugurated next year by
Postmaster General Meyer, if con
gress can be induced to provide suf
ficient funds to carry on the cru
sade.
The present force of inspectors, it
is said, is wholly unable to cope with
the situation, and the credulous are
being fleeced out of thousands of dol
lars daily by unscrupulous schemers.
Oftimes many months of patient work
are required to collect sufficient evi
dence to bring about a conviction,
and in the meantime the promoters
have amassed a fortune sufficient to
enable them to leave the country and
live in luuxry abroad, According to
inspectors, there was never before so
many fraudulent stock companies be
ing floated as now, and all but an in
finitesimal number are clearly frau
dulent. Many former green goods
and confidence men have now entered
the ranks of the mining stock promo
ters, as being a less hazardous and
more profitable calling.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1907.
AMERICUS TO HAVE A
DAY AI EXPOSITION
If Citizens Will Co-operate
Therein
COMPLIMENT TO C.EOR6IA CITIES
Is Extended By the Management and
Days Set Apart for Celebration.
Americus and Columbus May
Have Same Day.
“Americus Day” at the Jamestown
Exposition is well within the range
of possibilities, and if the plans sug
gested therefor are acepted by our
citizens the gate city of south Geor
gia will be thus advertised to the
world, along with other progressive
Southern cities.
Already the suggestion is being dis
cussed very favorably here.
Mr. Max C. McKay, a special com
misioner representing the exposition,
arrived in the city Wednesday morn
ing and during the day interviewed
Mayor Hawkins and President Shef
field of the board of trade, both of
whom he found enthusiasttic on the
subject.
Mr. McKay said that the exposition
management had set apart October
25th as Americus Day, and w’ould be
glad for the people here to co-operate
in the matter and attend the exposi
tion on that day in as large numbers
as possible.
This date has been set apart for
Columbus as well, it being suggested
that the two cities thus unite, one
taking the morning and the other the
afternoon, should thq plan be ac
cepted.
If not, each city may have an en
tire day to itself.
From Americus Mr. McKay will visit
Albany, Macon, Augusta, Atlanta,
Chattanooga and one or two other
cities before completing his trip
among the progressive cities of the
state. Savannah is the only Geor
gia city, so far, that has celebrated
a special day at Jamestown.
If Americus acepts the invitation
extended by the Exposition manage
ment, it is possible that a first class
round trip rate of $13.85 to James
town will be allowed on “Americus
day.”
COMFORTING WORDS.
Many an Americus Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a bad
back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary
disorders is enough to make any kid
ney sufferer grateful, To tell how
this great change can be brought
about will prove comforting to hun
dreds of Americus readers.
G. W. Hering, undertaker, of 111
Madison street, and living at 113
Madison street, Thomasville, says: “I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills and
found them a very effective remedy
for a weak back. My back has
given me much trouble for a long
time past and I suffered with a dull,
heavy pain across the loins and the
urine also bothered me. It was very
dark and strong and contained a
sediment. The passages were like
wise too frequent, not only during
the day but also during the night,
waking me at all hours and breaking
my rest and leaving me tired and
worn out in the morning. This had
an injurious effect upon my general
health. I tried quite a number of
different remedies but none of them
seemed to do me any good until I got
Doan’s Kidney Pills and used them
as directed. My back is strong again.
I have no pain at all and the kidney
secretions have been restored to a
normal condition. 1 can go to bed
and sleep and rest well all night.
Doan's Kidney Pills did this and I
know that they are a valuable reme
dy.”
Plenty more proofs like this from
Americus people. Call at Dodson’s
Pharmacy and ask what customers
report.

In any condition of the female system,
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription can do
only good—never harm. Its whole effect
is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate
the whole female system and especially
the pelvic organs. When these are de
ranged in function or affected by disease,
the stomach and other organs of digestion
become sympathetically deranged, the
nerves are weakened, and a long list of
bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too
much must not be expected of this "Fa
vorite Prescription.” It will not perform
miracles; will not cure tumors—no med
i ine will. It ivill often prevent them, if
taken in time, and thus the operating
table and the surgeon’s knife may be
avoided.

CLOSING OUT
On account of the lamented death of our late Manager, (J. W. C. Horne,)
and the desire of his family to convert their interest into cash, we are
compelled to close out this business.
This is no advertising scheme, but a plain statement of a plain fact.
Os course to sell the stock out quickly we know we will have to make a
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 fair 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 w#
must get rid of the goods and close up the business. We invite country
merchants and others to get our prices, as we believe they can replenish
j their stocks cheaper than any where else.
We invite all, assuring them of fair and courteous treatment and th#
cheapest goods ever bought in this market.
Sa’e Begins Wednesday, Sept. 25th,
and continues until stock [is sold out.
