You can buy a straw hat for a quarter, a suit of
clothes for $6.75, and a grand piano for $59.
But you get what you pay for. You can buy a
straw hat for S4O, a suit of clothes for SBO, and
a grand piano for SIB,OOO. And then again, you
get what you pay for. Strictly speaking there
are no real “bargains.” The cheap man gets
what he is looking for-cheapness. And the man
who wants merit, pays for it. Our goods are of
the latter class and sold at the lowest prices pos
sible, consistent with quality.

MATZONI WILL BREAK
JAIL THIS AFTERNOON
Chief Feagiri is From Mis=
souri on Subject.
Shackled with irons and bound
with ropes, Matzoni, the jail breaker,
will be placed in a cell at the police
station at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon
and the cell locked by Chief Feagin.
The crowd will retire until a signal
crowd will ten retire until a signal
is given by the jail breaker. When
the door is opened Matzoni will be
standing outside the cell unshackeled.
“I have broken jail sixty times,”
said Matzoni yesterday,’ ’and guess
I can make it sixty-one. Still, one
cannot always be sure.
‘‘This is my last piece of jail
breaking,” he added. “Its too trying
and 1 must give it up. This is a good
town and I am glad to make one
more test, but after that I'm through.”
General Public Invited
It is expected that a large crowd
will gather at the city bastile this
afternoon to see Matzoni locked in
and later to see him come out scot
free after being locked and bound in
a cell.
“I would like to see Matzoni escape
from a cell,” said Chief Feagin yes
terday. “Our cells are built to hold
people and if this man can escape af
ter being bound and locked up he’s
a good one. My prisoners don’t usual
ly behave that way. But as this is a
special case it will not be so mortify
ing to me.”
At the performance tonight Chief
Feagin will chain Matzoni with a pair
of new handcuffs. These Matzoni will
shake off in the presence of the au
dience. The wizard will also be
bound in a straight jacket and shack
led. In full view’ of the crow’d he will
work himself loose.
Sack and Trunk Mystery
But the greatest feat of the evening
w’ill be the sack and trunk mystery
as performed by M. Mile. Matzoni.
In this act Mile. Matzoni will be lock
ed in a sack, then placed in a trunk,
which will then be locked and tied
with ropes. The sack in which the
woman has been locked will then be
dragged into the cabinet.
Into this cabinet Matzoni will step
and in a minute Mile Matzoni ap
pears. When the trunk is unlocked
and unbound it is found to contain
the magician himself.
By request an exposure of Spiritual
ism will be given. The tricks of the
mediums will be given and then the
exposures. This will no doubt prove
one of the most interesting features
of the evening.
The straight jacket is on exhibition
in the barber shop of Estes & Yer
w’ood, on Jackson street. It is the
regulation jacket employed in insane
asylums.
Besides the more difficult feats a
number of slight of hand performan
ces which will delight and mystify the
audience, will be given.
The performance is to be given to
night at the opera house, one night
only.

MAKING A RECORD IN
CHASE OF POSSUM
That Sumter county is headquarters
for the juicy, succulent possum, as
of every tiling else good that goes
or grows, is evidenced in the fact that
up to sunset yesterday two citizens
of Americus alone had captured one
hundred and fourteen of the tooth
some “varmints” since the season op
ened thirty days ago. No where in
Georgia are to he found two more en
thusiastic possum hunters than Col.
J. E. D. Shipp and Capt. Paschal,
whose enviable titles were doubtless
bestowed by virtue of their prowess
as hunters. The friendly rivalry be
tween these two is quite spirited, and
almost nightly their dogs make the
welkin ring as they fly along upon
the trail of the swift-footed marsupial
as he shins it up for the simmon tree
of supposed safety. Up to noon yes
terday Col. Shipp had 57 notches on
his axe-handle, each representing a
possum slain, while Capt. Paschal had
an exact number to his credit as
well, hut as both were doubtless
abroad last night the figures are sub
ject to revision this morning.

WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS
AS GOVT. COLLATERAL
Cotton Can be Sacrificed
Like Stocks.
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 2S.—
(Special)—Representative Burleson, of
Texas, called on Acting Secretary of
the Treasury Edwards and asked that
deposits to the amount of $10,000,000
one third of the amount deposited in
New York to check the Wall street
panic, be distributed among the Sou
thern banks in order to prevent sacri
fice sales of cotton. Mr. Burleson was
told that however much the depart
ment might be disposed to do this
it would not now be possible, as the
deposits already made leave the Treas
ury with only a comfortably safe
working cash balance.
Mr. Burleson takes the position that
there is as much reason to avoid sac
rifice sales so cotton as there is to
avoid sacrifice sales of stocks. He
sees in this withdrawal of bank ac
commodations to warehouse cotton a
proposition to sacrifice the farmer
producer of cotton by making him
sell under price in order to assist the
holders of stocks in Wall street to
protect themselves against the neces
sity of throwing their stocks on the
market at a sacrifice.
Warehouses Receipts Collateral
His proposition was that the Treas
ury should distribute $10,000,000 of
deposits among the Southern banks,
accepting from the banks as security
warehouse receipts for cotton at 25
per cent, of the market value. He
represented to the Secretary that these
warehouse certificates would be much
better security than any municipal
bonds now accepted to secure de
posits, in that they represented an
actual value four times greater than
the amount to be secured, and that
by having the deposit of $10,000,000
in Southern banks at this time the
cotton growers might he saved from
making a sacrifice to foreign pur
chasers of some $16,000,000.
Secretary Edwards replied that in
accepting from hanks warehouse cer
tificates for cotton as security, there
was involved a question of policy that
he could not pass upon and which
would have to be presented to Secre
. tary Cortelyou, hut that, independent
ly of that, the deposits could not be
made at this time, because the de
partment was reduced to an actual
working cash balance by deposits al
ready made.
As Good as Bonds
“It has been the policy of the Treas
ury Department,” said Mr. Burleson,
“to so interpret the phrase of the law
of ‘United States bonds or otherwise’
as to admit of security other than
United States bonds being accepted.
Secretary Edwards tells me that thus
far this has been extended* only to
acceptable municipal bonds, but if this
interpretation of the law is permissa
ble, there can be no valid reason for
refusing to accept from the hanks
warehouse certificates for cotton, and
there is surely as good reason to pro
ject the producers from being forced
to sacrifice their cotton because of
tightness of money in the banks as
there is to come to the relief of the
stock gamblers on Wall street to save
them from the necessity of selling
their stocks at a sacrifice because of
a tight money market.

POST-SEASON MEET
OF BASEBALL CLUBS
NEW YORK, Oct. 28. (Special)
The powers that be in the world of
professional baseball will gather in
this city tomorrow for the customary
post-season meeting of the National
Association of Baseball Clubs. The
alleged threat of the American Asso
ciation to withdraw from the national
organization unless some arrange
ment was made whereby it might se
cure more substantial benefits from
the drafting regulations is one of the
matters that has aroused considerable
interest.
Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla.,
writes: “I can thank God for my
present health, due to Foley’s Kideny
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 is a
pleasure to recommend it to those
needing a kidney medicine.” Sold by
all druggists. Imo.
