ALLISON FURNITURE COMPANY OPPOSITE WINDSOR HOTEL. AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER YOUNG MIN ON BOARD OF TRADE THE NEED Dozens Here Should Help Movement. * More young business men, alert, vigilant, active young men, are need ed on the Americus Board of Trade to assist in pushing forward the work outlined for the year, and the membership should be increased to that extent. There are already many of the prominent and successful young men of the city in the organization, but not nearly so many as should be. President Allen is going to take hold with vim and energy, characteristic elements which he carries into every undertaking, and he wants more lieu tenants to help him in the work for Greater Americus. The greatest ef fort of recent years is going to be made now to put Americus forward, and every citizen will be depended upon to do his duty. The Board of Trade is the prime mover in every thing looking to the city’s commercial advancement and upbuilding, and more men in the ranks are needed. Get into the game, young man, and on New Year’s day, 1909, with our streets paved, with electric cars speeding along our highways, with more business, more buildings and fifteen thousand people here, you can look upon the scene with pride and satisfaction in the fact that YOU contributed your part thereto.. You will see lots of Rylander suits out Sun day. Why not have yours? TRAVELING MEN OPPOSE GOV. SMITH Are Petitioning Joe Brown to Announce. Opposition to the candidacy of Gov. Hoke Smith for reelection is reported to be strong among the traveling fra ternity in Georgia. These men have the best opportunity possible to as certain the temper of the people, going as they do into every city, town and yllage of the state. Dissatisfac tion with the results achieved by the present administration is widespread among the merchants. Dealers at retail are displeased in ’,.:CB part because the railroads and large corporations have been cutting down expenses by reducing forces and curtailing improvements. For this they are inclined to place the chief responsibility on Gov. Smith and his Railroad Commission for attacks on corporations. One of the best known traveling men of the state, who resides in Americus,, has become so strongly im pressed with the opposition to Gov. Smith that he has entirely of his own motion drawn up a petition to Hon. Hon. Joseph M. Brown asking that gentleman to enter the gubernatorial race. The petitioners express the belief that Mr. Brown would be a winner before the people. In two days twenty-three signatures of trav eling men were secured to the peti tion. It is taken by the originator to mean “23” for Gov. Smith. “Opposition to Gov. Smith and his policies is widespread among the trav eling man,” said the gentleman re ferred to. “All over the state its the same story. I’ve gotten into the habit of polling every group of travel ing men I get a chance at. Eleven out of every twelve have nothing but con demnation and sigh for a change. “I certainly believe it is possible to elect Joe Brown Governor over Hoke Smith. All it needs is a little more cystalizing of sentiment to show how really imposing is the protesting delegation. I do not know how Mr. rßown will act on our petition, but we are going to get a great big one.” The nobbiest styles in young men’s up-to-date clothing ever shown in Americus.

DOLLAR BANQUET BY BOARD OE TRADE For Celebration of Its Sec= ond Anniversary. * ________________ The Board of Trade will soon cele brate its secoml anniversary with a dollar banquet. Steps to this end were taken at the recent meeting of the organization. The matter of a banquet . was brought ui) bv Mr. Thomas E. Mitchell. After some discussion it was decided that the new committee on Enter tainment, which will be appointed by President Allen, should take hold of the matter and arrange for a dollar banquet at as early a date as prac ticable. It was felt that a popular price din ner was better than a high priced af fair at which the attendance would be more limited. What is desired is to secure the at teiylance of as many of the citizens of Americus in the forward movement as passible, and also to have as large a number of ladies present as can be induced to grace the occasion. The entertainment committee as soon as appointed will get to work on the details. The dinner of the Board of Trade a year ago was a very suc cessful and highly enjoyable affair. The second dinner should be none the less successful and enjoyable. -It is probable that the dinner will be given early in April. AMERICUS IS GOING TO HAVE A DIRECTORY Parties Here Interested in Movement. Americus is to have shortly what she has needed for many years past, a reliable up-to-date city directory. Volumes issued years ago are obso lete and altogether unreliable, with the many changes taking place since their publication, and our citizens will hail with satisfaction a new and up-to-the-hour directory, giving the names of the twelve thousand people here, with their street address. Par ties familiar with the work are ar ranging already to issue the new di rectory, and the volume will be ready for publication during the early sum mer. And with the publication of the directory the City Council might arrange with the publishers for tak ing the proposed census as well, as the very nature of their work will in clude an accurate count of all the people here, white and colored. Let this work be started at once and give the city the much-needed di rectory at the earliest date possible. COLLEGE TO PLACE A TEAM ON DIAMOND Farmer Boys Can Twirl a Bali. The practice work of the ball team of the Agricultural College here evi dences tlm. fact that Americus will have some good ball this season. The aggregation shows up in fine shape and looks good to th local fans. Gate wood and King will very likely do the delivery business from the pit cher’s plate to Hooks under the bat. “Shorty” Hale has a hunch on short stop, while Jennings has foreclosed his mortgage-on second base. The team will have a strong pitching staff in King and Gatewood, while the other positions will likewise he filled by good men. There is plenty of excel lent ball timber in the school, and Am ericus ameteurs and other teams i n nearby towns will have bp sew their scalps on tiglTt when the college team goes touring. a— You may easily hide your ignorance of South Q • f g g ■ Sea politics or North Pole explorations, but MB IC* KM youcannot hide a scraggly, worn-out, ignorant- M. *w#9 A A Ufl looking head of hair.

Tip. movement for .a Carnegie Li brary in Americus is going along in a highly satisfactory manner. Secretary Pruitt, of the Board of Trade, who is conducting the corres pondence with Mr. Carnegie’s secre tary on behalf of that organization, received a letter from the secretary a few days ago requesting additional in formation on one or two points. This was promptly furnished. At the same time a yitoto of the old library was sent, with a statement- as to the size of the lot and its admirable location. The Library Association, as has been reported, is willing to do all in its power, by donating the present site, building and books, to insure the er ection here of a modern and beautiful library building, worthy of a growing community like Americus. While no action has yet been taken by the Mayor and Aldermen it is felt that when things are in exact sliape for them to proceed officially there will be no failure on their part to do all that the city can possibly do to se cure the erection of a library building here. A Carnegie library following -close ly on the Y. M. C. A. building will speak highly for the progressiveness of Americus. THE RACE FOR SENATE IN I3TH OF INTEREST Murray and Gollum the Candidates. Either Hon. W. I). Murray or Hon. M. E. Collum, will represent the Thirteenth district in the State sen ate at the next berm, and in Ameri cus, much interest is centered in the race between these gentlemen. Schley county names the senator this year, under the rotation system, and Mess. Collum and Murray are the aspirants, with Schley’s voters tonna e the fortunate one. The campaign will not be a lengthy one, the primary being held on March 27th, little more than tv*) weeks hence. In' Schley, the county officials have easier sail ing than some of those in Sumter, none of the present corps of county officers having opposition for re-elec tion. There are three announced candidates for Schley’s one seat in the Legislature, Messrs. R. M. Rainey, C. R. McCrory and J. T. Royal, where as Sumter county, with two comfort able cushioned seats in the House, has only one aspirant for each chair. CLOTHES AND A WATCH TAKEN AT ONE SWIPE This Burglar Made Whole Sweep. When Eugene Williams arose from his downy bed yesterday and reached for his trousers and other regalia, his hand grasped the thin ozone of the bedroom only. For as Mr. Williams slumbered a bold bad burglarious brother had crawled over the battlements of his castle and made a clean sweep of everything wearable. Col. Williams shoes evidently fitted all right, for he took them along with his socks, trousers, coat, vest, neck tie and hat. Then wanting a little more time, he deftly swiped the fam ily watch-. Arrayed in the habili ments of summer, Col. Williams came to the city and reported the burglary to the police, but as the officers are still hunting the perpetrator of six t)ther burglaries here, Col. Williams’ visitor will have to await his turn to be captured. PEACH CANNERY IN PROSPECT Maryland Capitalists Are Mudi Interested. There is an excellent prospect that Americus will have a big peach can ning factory in operation when the fruit season opens this year. Recently the Times Recorder told of the visits here of the Roberts Bro thers, of Maryland, who are large canners of peaches and other fruits and vegetables. These gentlemen were much im pressed “with the opportunity offered here for a large canning factory. They visited the several great peach orchards hereabout, talked with the growers, and were much impress ed with the prospects in their, line of business. After their departure Secretary Pruitt, of the Board of Trade, got into communication with them. Several letters have passed, and the Maryland parties state that they will probably soon take the matter up ac tively again, with the idea of locating a factory here in time for this sea son's peach crop. If the factory is built it may be the means of inducing the planting of large quantities of vegetables as well. Such a factory could use the products of thousands of acres of tomatoes and other vegetables as well as'all of the peaches offering. W r ith the rapid development of the peach industry in Sumter county a canning factory must sooner or later he established. As it is, it is not unlikely that one will be in operation this fall. Messrs. Jossey, Ansley and Pruitt are a committee of the Board of Trade who will keep in touch with Roberts Bros. WITH HUNTER IN FIELD TIME IS ALMOST UP Shooting Time is Reduced to Hours. Americus sportsmen will be abroad in full force today, and even tomor row, despite the fact that it is Sat urday and otherwise a busy day. For with the setting of tomorrow’s sun the hunting season closes, and the remnant of birddom will try to re cuperate its decimated ranks. After this week it will be unlawful to shoot partridges and doves until November Ist next. Thousands of these birSs, particularly doves, have been killed near Americus recently, and other hundreds will fall before thundering guns ere the season ends tomorrow. Several gunners went out yesterday to baited fields near the city, and brought in hundreds of the birds. Something new in boys’ and children’s Spring suits. We have them in Russian Blouse, in all the new colors for the little fellow. Rylander Shoe Co AT POINT OF PISTOLS PORTER IS DRIVEN OFF Freight Train on Central Robbed. A report was current here yesterday to the effect that tramps had taken possession of a freight car in a Central train, Americus to Macon, and had driven off the brakeman at the point of a pistol when he attempted to fire the ticketless bunch. It is said that the free riders were discovered short ly before the train reached Oglethorpe, the gang escaping to the woods later. The circumstances connected with the story, if a true one, are not known here as the train had passed by Americus during the night and was bound for Macon. The police depart ment here hai heard nothing of the affair up to 8 o’clock last night.

CHICAGO, ILL., March 12.—Six kisses a day are the limit for Ora M. Leedom. He promised Detectives Stark and Johnson, who arrested him for deserting his affectionate wife, that he wold g£ back to her on that basis. They found him in Springfield, where he went recently. “It’s a case of too much ‘lovey-dov ey’ business," said Leedom on > the way back from Springfield. “My ‘wife —she was married once or twice before—is a good woman and a fine housekeeper, but she’s too strong on the love business to suit me. “Now, I’m not a chilly guy or any thing like that, but I don’t want a woman kissing me all the time. When I come home from work in the evening, I like to sit down and read the paper. My wife would want me to hold hands with her and say fool ish things. “A few days before I jumped out of town some actress down in New York made a hit with a kiss that lasted forty-five seconds. When my wife read about that in the paper she said she could beat it with one hand tied be - A Guaranteed Cure One thousand retail druggists who are the leaders of the drug trade of the United States, and that means the world, rated by Bradstreet’s and Dun’s at twenty million dollars and whose retail business aggregates over seventy million dollars annual sales, have agreed to give their name, finan cial backing and endorsement to the guarantee that Rexall Mucu- Tone will cure any disease or trouble arising from catarrh or they will refund the money. We are proud of our connection with the Rexall Remedies, particularly so of Mucu-Tone, because a rem edy must be something out of the ordinary to get our backing. It is not all profit that leads us and our one thousand associates into endorsing this remedy; it is our . years of experience with medi cines and our knowledge of them that makes us believe that Rexall Mucu-Tone is a bona-fide discov ery for the cure of all ailments due to catarrhal affection. We know that it is not a cure all, but a remedy built on scientific lines and not a patent medicine as each one of the one thousand druggists knows its formula and its value. Tt has one great addi tional value besides curing consti tutional catarrh—that it is a sys tem builder. No such tonic was ever before designed for the cur ing of inflammation of the mu cous membrane —nor can it be improved on m the present age. Just stop and reason with your self for one minute. We are do ing business right here in your midst. Could we afford to offer our name and endorsement to Mucu-Tone as we do if we did not know that it was an honest medicine ? Could we afford to agree as we do that we will re fund every penny paid us for the medicine if it does not benefit. All we ask is the customer’s word and the empty bottle and we hand the money back. No signed certificate. YVe believe the public, especially the sick, are honest, certainly every sick per son who suffers from any of the following ailments should take ad vantage of our offer to-day. Rex all Mucu-Tone cures catarrh of the nose, throat, stomach, intes tines, liver, kidneys or bladder, and any who are convalescing from sickness of any kind should take advantage of our offer and purchase what we recommend as the best tonic ever sold in a drug store. We have a large trial size at fifty cents and we guarantee it or refund vour money. DODSON {PHARMACY THE ffiS3CCfc&& STORE NUMBER 63 hind her back. I’m ashamed to tell you what happened. "The only fault I had to find with Annie was her loving nature. I’ll agree to go back and live with her if she’ll only cut out the kissing busi ness. I don’t mind a little kiss now and then, but 1 draw the line at more than six a day.” A rolitical Scarecrow ] (Augusta Chronicle.) We do not expect to see in this generation a return to what has been called the “standing bar room.” The people are anxious to give "\the new law a fair square test, and will be guided by the result of that test. If there comes a proposition look ing to the amendment of the prohi bition law in the direction of laxity, or of making it less drastic, it will come from the people at large, and not from any liquor men, within or without the state. This scare-crow of “put only prohibitionists on guard” has more behind it than is shown on its face. For political reasons it is made in order to set up an issue that does not exist —in order to becloud issues that are now asserting them selves before the people. After yo have complimented a wo man on her youthful appearance and her beauty and praised her chidren it doesn’t make much difference w r hat you say about her husband. —Chicago Record-Herald. A REASON The Rexall Remedies deserve confidence. As all these Remedies are grouped under one name, they must succeed or fail together. There must be no weak links in this chain. One un worthy remedy would mean disaster for the en tire plan. If you, for example, purchased the Rexall Cough Cure and were not cured by it, how could we expect you to place any faith thereafter in the Rexall Dyspepsia Cure or any; other member of the Rexall family? You can understand, therefore, why such anx ious care was given to finding and choosing the remedies to which name “Rexall” was .1 given. We have ad*- mitted none to this cir cle until our committee ■of experts had been con vinced by investigation and test that it was the best remedy known to medical science for the ailment it aimed to re lieve. Who should know bet ter than the leading •thousand druggists of •this country what are, and what"are not, effi cient medicines? Remember, the success of our enterprise depends on the merit of each in dividual remedy. Our reputation, which is our very business existence, is at stake. Can you doubt that in buying a Rexall Remedy you are buying the best that science and experience can give you? € For Nervousness— Rexall Americanitis Elixir, 75c.
