CONGRESSMAN LEWIS
MOST OPTIMISTIC
South Not Affected by Wall!
Street flurry.
Congressman E. B. Lewis of .the
Americus district, does not attach
much importance to the disturbances
in Wall street, which he considers rich
men’s troubles. The South is in no
way affected by the Curry, which Con
gressman Lewis believes to be only
temporary at worst. Farmers who
have sold their cotton have money in
bank and the South is prosperous and
happy.
Congressman Lewis is himself Pres
ident of two banks at Montezuma, and
is largely interested in cotton. In
an interview published in the Atlanta
Constitution, he says:
"This Is the serious and natural
ending of overspeculation in high
finances which has been going on
for many years. It is virtually, to
a large extent, a rich man's failure,
and involves only the unscrupulous
and unjust manipulators of railroad
stocks and manufacturing stocks such
as steel, copper etc., all of whom have
been playing very heavily with the fin
ancial markets in the past few years.
No Sympathy Wasted
"The leaders,” declared Mr. Lewis,
"who have brought about this trouble
haven’t much sympathy from the peo
ple, because they have brought the
misfortune on their own heads as
well as the country.
“It is true a great many innocent
people have invested in these securi
ties and are great sufferers. This is
another case of where the innocent
oftimes have to suffer for the misdo
ings of others.
"The New York banks, for here the
money markets of the world are cen
tered, have had a hard time for the
past six months in carrying these
heavy loads and within the last few
days interest on money has run as
high as 90 per cent in New York. But
I believe most of the banks are
sound and will weather the storm.”
South Not Affected
Asked about the affect of these ca
lamities would have upon the south,
Mr. Lewis smiled with an air of sat
isfaction, and said:
"The south is in no way affected by
this panic. Our banks are all in good
condition. They have paid their in
debtedness to the New York banks 1
and are thoroughly independent of i
Wall street.
"The farmers are in splendid con
dition in this territory, for they have
made good crops and have been sell
ing their cotton on an average of 12
cents, and all have money in their
pockets or on deposit in the banks.
Cotton Too Low ,
"While this panic is the cause of a
decline in cotton of 1 cent a pound
within the past week, I believe cotton j
entirely too low, and it will steadily
advance from now on.
"We would have today one of the
greatest panics ever known in the
United States if it were not for the
solidity of the south with its 12-cent
cotton and west with its dollar bushel
wheat.”
In conclusion, Mr. Lewis said: "I
am very glad the time has come and
to stay when the Southern people are j
independent and free from Wall street,
financial manipulators. However, I
believe the worst is now over in the j
financial troubles, and I look for |
much better times over the entire
country.”

Japs Will Exhibit
SEATTLE, WASH., October 26.
(Special)—Despite the animosity
against the Japanese exisiting on the
Pacific coast,-the government of the
Mikado will he well represented by
exhibits at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition, to be held in Seattle in
1909. Commissioners for the exposi
tion are now in the flowery kingdom
and have* extended formal invitations
to the government and to private man
ufacturers and exporters to exhibit
at the fair, with flattering results.
WOMEN THREATEN
TO BE AMAZONS
Increase In Height of Four
Inches.
CHICAGO, ILL., October 26.
(Special)—The manufacturers of
ready-made clothing for women are
responsible for the statement that the
women are growing bigger and that
we are threatened with a race of
Amazonians.
In the opinion of scientists who
have studied the matter, the average
increase of height during the past
fifty years is no less than three and
one-half inches, and may be as much
as four inches.
Weight is more difficult to judge,
owing to the great individual differ
ences, but the increase is generally
considered to be on an average of
twenty-five pounds, though some
doctors say it is more..
Testimony of Outfitters
That this average increase is a
matter of fact all women's outfitters
will testify. To take the example of
boots. Inquiries among several of
the leading bootmakers have elicited
the surprising fact that the average
woman’s foot has increased by about
two “sizes” during the last quarter of
a century. The average size of a hoot
supplied was a 4, no*v it is a 5 or
6.
Glove manufacturers affirm the
question by declaring that the sizes
demanded by lady customers during
recent years have increased 60 per
cent.
Athletics for Women
One of the chief causes contributing
to this is the circumstance that the
past few years have seen such a large
increase in the popularity of athle
tics among women. It is not many
years since it was considered quite
"bad form” to ride a bicycle. Golf
and basketball are favorite games with
the fair sex, while even women’s foot
ball clubs have been founded. The
games played at girls’ schools now
approach much more nearly to violent
exercise than they used, and all this
tends to strengthen and develop the
frame.
Hard Times Wi Kansas.
The old days of grasshoppers and
drouth are almost forgotten in the
prosperous Kansas of today; although
a citizen of Codell, Earl Shamburg,
has not yet forgotten a hard time he
encountered. He says: “I was worn
out and discouraged by coughing night
and day, and could find no relief till
I tried Dr. King’s New Discovery.
It took less than one bottle to com
pletely cure me.” (The safest and
most reliable cough and cold cure and
lung and throat healer ever discover

LETTER TO G. S. GARTNER,
Americus, Georgia
Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there was
one pure paint and 200 adulterated;
there are now eight pure, 200 adulter
ated, about half of the latteT short
measured besides.
There is still but one best, and
the difference is ten gallons Devoe
goes as far as eleven next-best—ss in
every ten gallons.
A new word has come up in paint;
it is strong. Strong paint goes fur
ther and wears longer; weak paint
takes more gallons and wears-out
sooner.
The proper cost of a 10-gallon job
is SSO. Paint that takes 11 gallons
makes it $55. Paint that takes 12
gallons makes it S6O. Paint that takes
13 gallons makes it $65. Paint that
takes 20 gallons makes it SIOO.
The SSO job wears twice as long as
the SIOO. These figures are not pre
cise; they are round. The 10-gallon
paint is Devoe. Yours truly,
48 F. W. DEVOE & CO.
