STEAMSHIPS BRING
CHRISTMAS TOYS
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—(Special)
Several of the steamships that have
arrived here from Europe during
the past few days have been veritable
Santa Claus ships. Their great holds
have been filled with thousands of
cases of toys sent over by the Ger
man and French manufacturers for
the Christmas trade in America. In
cluded in the cargoes have been whole
orates full of mechanical toys, auto
mobiles, engines, swings, musical
tops and trumpets, to say nothing of
dolls sufficient in number, variety
and attractiveness to satisfy the de
sires of thousands of little girls, and
whole regiments of lead soldiers for
the little boys. A large part of these
toys are for the Western trade.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1907.
NEW FACES SEEN IN
SENATE AND MOUSE
Sixtieth Congress Will Show
Many Changes.
WASAHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2.—j
(Special)—When the Sixtieth Con-!
gress assembles four weeks from
Monday there will be much about
it strange to those who have long
been familiar with the personnel of
past Congresses.
In the House the Democrats have
I lost their senior member in point
; of service, J. H. Bankhead of Alabama
; who was defeated for renomination
iby Richmond Pearson Hobson, the
j hero of the Merrimac. The party is
! not to lose the services of Mr. Bank
head, however, for he takes the seat
In the United States Senate made
vacant by the death of the venerable
Senator Edmund W. Pettus.
Probably the most conspicjous loss
on the Republican side of the, House
is General Grosvenor of Ohio, whose
patriarchal and venerable appearance |
has for years focused the attention of
the galleries, and whose wit and
disposition to banter have many a
time made the hall ring with laugh
ter when the situation has been so
tense as to seem as if nothing but
bitter passion could find expression.
Sibley Retired
Another picturesque figure has
disappeared with the retirement of
Hon. Joseph C. Sibley of Franklin,
i Pa., district, who served ten. years
• in the House. He was elected to the
• Fifty-third Congress as a Democrat,
• and again to the Fifty-sixth Congress,
after narrowly escaping nomination
as Vice President on the Bryan tick
et.
Another old-timer who will be
missed is James W. Wadsworth of
the Thirty-fourth New York district,
deefated by Peter A. Porter, a Demo
crat. Mr. Wadsworth served about
eighteen years in the House and was I
chiefly conspicious on account of his
important, work as chairman of the
Committee on Agriculture.
Other members of the House who
will be missed when the Sixtieth Con
gress assembles are Bowie of Ala
bama, Smith, Trimble and Gilbert of
Kentucky, Robertson of Louisiana,
McNary and Sullivan of Massachu
setts, Hunt of Missouri, Van Duzer
of Nevada, McDermott of New Jersey,
Hearst, Towan and Ruppert of New
York, Patterson and Gudger of North j
Carolina, Garber of Ohio, Klin of
Pennsylvania, Butler of Tennessee,
Brooks and Feld of Texas, Southall,
of Virginia, Donover and Davis of
West Virginia, and Bishop of Michi
gan. These disappear from the House
because they failed of renomination j
last fall.
Included among ’the leaders who
were renominated but failed to se
cure re-election w r ere such prominent
leaders as Babcock of Wisconsin, La- |
cey of lowa, Blackburn of North Car
olina, McCleary of Minnesota, and
Fred Landis of Indiana.
Changes in Senate.
In the Senate the changes will be
even more noticeable than in the
House. Death has removed from the
ranks the two oldest members of that
body, Pettus and Morgan of Alabama, j
whose places will be taken by for
mer Congressman Bankhead and Jos
eph F. Johnson, ex-Governor of Ala
bama.
Berry of Arkansas, who served
twenty years in the Senate, is re
placed by Jeff Davis. “Fiddling
Bob” Taylor takes the place of Sena
tor Carmack of Tennessee. “Joe”
Blackburn of Kentucky gives way to
Thomas 11. Paynter, and Dußois of
Idaho, one of the best politicians in
the Senate, is succeeded by William
E. Borah.
The baby member of the Senate will
be Elmer E. Burkett, of Nebraska.
But a few months older than Burkett
is Joseph M. Dixon, who takes the
place of W. A. Clark, the Montana
copper king.

by reason of his long sendee in the
House, almost as well known among
his new associates as if he had long
been in the Senate. He and Norris
Brown, the new Senator from Nebras
ka, who succeeds Millard, have both |
proclaimed in advance their earnest j
support of Roosevelt in the carrying j
out of his policies, and they are there-1
fore looked upon as valuable recruits j
for the Administration. William Al
den Smith, who takes the seat made
vacant by the death of Senator Alger
of Michigan, is well known because of
his services in the House.
Simon Guggenheimer, the smelter
from Colorado, who succeeds Patter
son, is the only extremely rich man
among the new’ Senators, and Frank
O. Briggs, who succeeds Dryden of
New Jersey, has the distinction of
being the only one with whiskers
among the new crop of Senators.
In the Senate, more than in the
House, the changes w’ill be marked
by reason of the character of the men
who have retired and of the marked
contrast in some instances between
them and the men who are to take
their places.
LETTER TO F. P. MITCHELL,
Americus, Georgia.
Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con
tractors and builders, Morgan City,
La., have painted Devoe for 3 or 4
years. They say it takes less gal
lons Devoe than of any other paint
they have used. That means that a
job costs less with Devae; not only
for paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else. Devoe
exclusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and
others; oversight, may be; perhaps
too soon for that. But Devoe is the
strongest paint; that’s why least
gallons; best wear, same reason.
Least cost and longest time between
jobs. Yours truly,

ABATING NUISANCE
PROVES PROFITABLE
Obnoxious Fumes Into Sul
phuric Acid.
ATLANTA, GA., November 2.
(Special)—Attorney General Jno. C.
Hart is watching with interest the
progress made at Duclftown, Tenn.,
on the giant leaden chambers which
are to transform the now deadly sul
phuric acid and w’hich will, in turn,
be used in the manufacture of a fer
tilizer to be used generally through
out the South.
The supreme court of the United
States recently granted an injunc
tion against the further of
this plant as sooq ass Georgia,
through Hart, shoqM ask for its dis
continuance.
The owners are now installing a
leaden chamber there, nearly as large
as the state capitol in Atlanta, into
which these sulphur fumes, now pass
ing out through a 375 foot smoke
stack to be spread over the county,,
destroying vegetation, will run and
be converted into this sulphuric acid
so essential to the manufacture of
acid phosphate.
According to the state chemist's
office at the state capitol, this cul
phuric acid, when secured is mixed
with phosphate rock and produces
acid phosphate.
This acid phosphate, mixe h
kainit, secured from Germ 1 nd
cotton seed meal, the w< own
southern product, forms wb om
monly known as a comp. ■ utili
zer.
Cotton seed meal has such a high
percentage of nitrogen, so essential
to plant life, that it is more common
ly used than any other ingredient in
the south.
Judge Hart states that he will' give
the plant owners ample time to try
and abate this nuisance, but if not
successfully (lie decree will be en
tered and the plant shut down.
