Beautiful Beaver Hats
The Assured Favorites
for Fall and Winter in
Dress Millinery.
Beaver Hats will be the com
plement of the season’s costumes
that will be most admired for their
charming individuality.
Were it not for extensive early purchases,
manuractprtjrs would not now be able to supply
asing demand for Beaver Hats that has
rapidly followed their introduction here.
They are made in a wide diversity of styles
and shapes—the plain tailored Hats for practical
street wear, more elaborately trimmed styles for
afternoon, and the lustrous Silk Beavers for more
formal evening wear. The shapes are extremely
attractive and becoming—notably the three-cor
nered Napoleons, the new close-fitting Turbans
and the latest wide brim Hats.
Varieties of char ning styles in Beaver Hats
are also shown for misses. Our reasonable prices
will show that they have in no degree been in
fluenced by the great scarcity of these Beaver '■
Hats.

ELECTED BY PEOPLE
AT STATE ELECTION
Count School Commissioner
Chosen Next Summer.
Supt. Moore of the Sumter County
Schools was in the city yesterday
He reports the schools opening in fine
shape, with a good attendance and the
outlook very promising for an effec
tive season’s educational work among
the children of the country districts
Supt. Moore, who has held the of
fice of county school commissioner foi
ten or more years, and has made an
excellent reputation through his able
management of their affairs, will
come before the people next year in
the first election by th egeneral vot
ing public for such an office. Here
tofore the superintendent has been
chosen by the grand jury, but undei
the law recently enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly the office is now in
cluded among those to be filled at the
general state elections.
While Supt. Moore’s term of office
does not expire until January 1912
it will be necessary for the people tc
elect his successor at the state elec
tion next year, and the candidate oi
the party will be chosen in the pri
mary next summer.
Supt. Moore will be a hard candi
date for any aspirant to defeat, hi:
long and valuable service and thor
ough acquaintance .with the work
making him peculiarly strong witt
those whom he has served. Under hit
administration there has been a de
cided improvement in the countrj
schools, their standards being arisec
and the efficiency of the teaching
corps advanced.

STILL SWELLING THE
HARRIMAN SYSTEM
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 30.—Extensions
which will add 8,000 miles of track
age. and will cost $100,000,000, are

builder is dead, but his plans live on

The Best Pood for Workers.
The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges
tion, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You’ll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages, and hermetically
scaled tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. g

SHIPS COTTON TO AMERICUS
AND TO BEST ADVANTAGE,
Product of Dougherty County Farm
Marketed Here.
Three hundred bales cotton from a
Dougherty county plantation are be
ing marketed in Americus as rapidly
as the bales can be picked out, loaded
upon cars and shipped here. There
are other cotton markets much nearer,
and it is through one of these that
the cotton train passes en route to
Americus. All things considered, the
owner of the plantation finds that it
is decidedly more advantageous to
pay freight on the bales to Americus
and sell here, rather than in markets
much nearer the farm.

keys, a dozen fine ones, including a
patriarchal old gobbler, strayed from
Mr. Hogg's barnyard to the fields and
woods near the house, where a pot
hunter found and slaughtered the en
tire flock of twelve tame turkeys, pre
tending to believe them wild birds.

MILLIONS WON BY A
COURT DECISION.
internal Combustion Vehicles Musi
All Pay Royalty.
Boston, Sept. 30.—The decision in
the suit brought by the holders of the
rights under G. B. Selden’s patent is
sweeping. It means that every gaso
line-propelled internal combustion
vehicle in the United States must pay
royalty to him—l per cent on the
value of the machine, which means
literally millions, for his invention
The decision on Selden's 60 birthday
is a rare celebration of the idea that
came to him in 1872, when he was
working on a road roller bought by
the city. He thought about the prob
lem of locomotion and finally decided
that the principle of railroad locomo
tion could be applied to other ve
hicles, and in 1879 he had a “road en
gine" run by an internal combustion
engine.

Hot Election in Macon Occurs Next
Saturday.
Many Americus people are greatly
Interested in the mayoralty race in
Macon between Judge A. L. Miller, the
present able and popular chief execu

terest there is at highest tension, and
the betting element has thousands of
dollars upon the result.
A traveling man in Americus yes
terday stated that he saw one single
bet of $3,000 placed the night before
A Moore man made the offer, and it
was quickly taken.
The election comes off next Sat

will be "of the fervid variety.
The friends of Judge Miller feel
sure that he will win, but do not set
any figures. There has been some

are offered either way and the
chances are that there will be no more
odds given, as the race really looks
nip and tuck.
Both sides are claiming a victory.
The Moore people express themselves
as confident of winning by at least
300 - votes.

DID PATfEN SELL
OUT WALL STREFT
Charges Made That He Un
loaded Before Leaving.
New York, Sept. 30.—At the close
of business Wednesday Cotton Ex
change authorities estimated that the
seventy-two New York Stock Ex
change houses that have cotton tick
ers in their offices were carrying 1,440,-
000 bales of cotton, largely on the
prediction made by Mr. Patten ten
days ago that cotton would go to 17
or 18 cents a pound. These customers
now control one-eighth of the entire
coton crop of the United states, as
estimated by the Department of Agri
culture.
The day that Patten made his un
expected departure for Chicago tbe
January option sold at 13.52, the top
price. The next morning cotton began
to decline and its reaction has con
tinued steadily.
On the break Wednesday January
touched 13.09 and October 13.08.
These are the options in which Patten
is said to have had the largest commit
ments. The decline represents a little
more than $2 a bale and involved a
loss to the customers of the Stock
Exchange houses of approximately
$2,880,000.
Charges were made on the
Cotton Exchange that Patten had sold
out on the New York brokers and
their customers and that at the time
he was predicting record-breaking
prices, for cotton he was quietly un
loading his holdings on the New York
lambs that were clamoring to get in
to the market on the belief that an
other Sully boom was at hand.
There was amazement on the Cot
ton Exchange and in Wall street last
Friday afternoon when it was learned
that the Chicago speculator had hook
ed a stateroom on the eighteen hour
train for Chicago and tills reservation
had been made fully twenty-four hours
before the train left. When the news
got around Wall street scores of bro
kerage houses called up Mr. Patten’s
headquarters to ask if the report were
true and the answer was that Mr. Pat
ten’s brother had been taken suddenly
ill and that he had been forced to
leave for home.
Then Wall street recalled that Mr.
Patten had left Chicago just as sud
denly at the culmination of his bull
speculation in wheat and that the on
ly explanation given at the time was
that he had gone out to his partner’s
ranch to take a long rest. Patten
had liquidated his holdings in wheat
before he went.
r v,
Now Wall street is wondering what
it is going to do with its 3,440,000
bales of October and January cotton.
The government report published the
day Mr. Patten made his hurried de
parture shows that there is not such
a shortage in cotton as Mr. Patten had
declared in his campaign of educa
tion. The government’s figures show
that the visible supply of cotton at the
beginning of the season was 6,667,854
bales. The estimated production for
this year in the United States alone
is 11,500,000 bales.
The estimated production of the
East Indies is 3,650,000, of Egypt 1,-
500,000 and of Brazil 400,000, a total
of 17,050,000 bales. This with the .vis
