NEW HIGH RECORD
COMING IN DIVIDENDS
Outlook is for Magnificent
Returns.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Chicago, October I,—With the re
turn of business to normal conditions
and the increased earnings of indus
trial institutions prospects seem bright
for the resumption of dividends and
the declaration of initial dividends
on securities that were most seriously
affected by the financial flurry. The
annual reports of railroads and other
corporations, many of which were is
sued this week, show a remarkable
gain in earnings as compared with
the previous year ani\ it is natural
that there should be conjecture among
holders of these securit’es as to the
dividend prospects. 1
The business depression that started
less than two years ago was primarily
the cause of the curtailment of dis
bursements to stockholders amounting
to many millions of dollars annually,
in many cases it spelled hardship for
the owners of the stocks of which the
dividends had to be discontinued or
reduced in order to permit corpora
tions to make both ends meet. But
this period already has passed into
history. The talk among investors'
and directors of various corporations
is largely on the question of dividends,
and the outlook for the year 1910 in
this regard could scarcely be more
promising. It is expected that within
the next two years a new high record
in the amount of annual disburse
ments will be established.

Can Mow Weeds for flie Medicine
Market.
Washington, Oct. I.—This country is
actually importing for medicinal pur
poses plants that are growing wild
all around us, but which no one seems
to think it worth while to gather. This
fact is pointed out by the department
of agriculture in a bulletin called
“Weeds Used as Medicine,” which it
would be worth while for the boy who
roads this to,,"rite Icr if he wants to
ma' money out of the vacant
STtflind all around him.
The bulletin will explain how to
prepare the weeds for the market and
will give some idea of the price that
the industrious boy can expect to ob
tain for marketable weeds. Belgium
and other European countries ship to
this part of the world every year
about 50,000 pounds of burdock root.
The root sells for from 3 to 8 cents
a pound and the seeds for from 5 to
10 cents.

DELIVERY OF BOOZE IS !
ONLY 10 CONSIGNEE;
Cannot Be Delivered to
Fake Names.
At the local freight depots the re
cent enactment of congress making it
a penal offense to deliver whisky con
signed to initials, numbers or fictitious
names, is rigidly enforced. The local
agents are merely acting under in
structions from the general manage
ment of their companies.
it is not generally known that the
government has enacted a'law to stop
the deliverance of whisky billel to
fictitious consignees in interstate ship
ments. Such is the case, however, and
after the first of January the law will
be stringently enforced.
The law provides for the punish
ment of the shipper who violates any *
of its provisions and the railroad
which delivers such consignments.
The offices of the railways of the
state generally have been notified to
act in accordance with the law. When
consignments arrive, billed for ini
tialed persons or the like, the shipment
is held up and the consignor noti
fied.
The law not only applies to rail
roads, but to the express companies.
The local officers Os the latter have
been complying with all provisions of
the law for some time.

Atlanta, Oct. I.—lt is not improbable
that application for pardons for the

JURY FAILS TO AGREE
MISTRIAL IS RESULT
Case Goes Over to Next
Term of Court.
A mistrial i esulted in the case of
the State vs. G. S. Gardner, on trial
in the city court for alleged viola
tion of the state prohibition law, and
at a late hour Thursday night Judge
Crisp discharged the jury that was
thus hopelessly hung. The trial of
the case, therefore, goes over to a
subsequent term of the city court. In
the published report yesterday of the
trial it was stated that a Mr. Gam
mage was a witness for the state and
had testified to receiving whisky at
the Gardner store. This was an error
resulting in a confusion of names, as
Mr. Bradley and Mr. Coot Wommack
were the principal witnesses introduc
ed in the trial, no witness gy the name
of Gammage appearing therein or be
ing connected with the case.

Death of Miss White From Acute
Peritonitis.
Mr. and Mrs. Janies A. Davenport
returned to Americus yesterday from
Atlanta, where they were called on
Thursday by the death of Mrs. Dav
enport's sister, Miss Gertrude White.
The deceased was well known in
Americus, where the family once, re
sided, and a wide circle of friends
here are grieved at her death. Miss
White died of acute peritonitis, the
attack coming upon her suddenly
Monday aftei’noon upon her return
home from the Terminal Station,
whither she had hade adieu to a party
of Americus friends, her guests. She
survived but two days after being
stricken with the dread malady, and
her death, in the prime of beautiful
young womanhood, was a shock to her
friends in Atlanta, as here. The fu
neral took place at Griffin on Thurs
day afternoon, her father being buried
in that city, his former home.

AMERICA HAS IIS
j GREAT NAVAL PARADE
1,000 Vessels in the Line
Yesterday.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
New York, Oct. I.—The naval pa
rade held here today in connection
with the Hudson-Fulton celebration
was the greatest in the history of the
United States, and perhaps the great
est the world has ever seen. Over
1.000 vessels, including cruisers, bat
tleships, steamboats, private yachts,
tugs, steam lighters and motor boats
1 ariicipater in the event. The ves
sels . were divided into eight squad
ions, each commanded by a flag offi
cer. The squadrons were then divided
into divisions of not fewer than four
vessels, all in line except United
States naval ships being under the
command of Captain Jacob W. Miller,
chairman of the Hudson-Fultou’s Com
mission for the naval parade. There
were eighty warships in line, fifty
three being detailed from the Atlantic
squadron of the United States navy.
Foreign nations represented were Ger
many, England, Italy, France, Mexico,
Argentine, Chili, and Peru. River
towns along the Hudson devoted the
day to exercises along the riverside,
fetes and champetres wherever the
nature of the water front made such
a program possible. At Newburg the
Half Moon and Clermont were turned
over to an up-river squadron, which
will take the replicas on to Albany for
next week’s celebration.

PRODUCTION OP ST. ELMO
HERE BY GOOD ('•DM PA NY.
Next Attraction at Theatre Is One of
the Best.
According to the management of
“St. Elmo,” the drama built upon Au
gusta J. Evans’ famous novel of the
same name, the play will be presented
in away to satisfy the most critical
taste when it is seen in this city at
the opera house on Wednesday next.
A carload of special scenery has been
built for the production, and the cast
is made up of picked players.
For fifty years “St. Elmo” has been
one of the most popular books by a
native writer.
It has always been regarded as a
particularly charming romance of the
South, the creation of a southern au
thor, whose sympathy with her sub
ject rendered her work particularly
effective. The incidents narrated in
its pages have tempted the dramatist
more than once and now comes the
announcement that a new version has
been put before the public.
This latest is the work of the au
thor, and will appeal to the fastidious
theatre-goer.

The Best Food for Workers.
i The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never liigl
priced.
The best example of this is found ii
Quaker Oats. It stands at the tor
among foods that supply nourishmeni
and vigor, without taxing the diges
tion, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cosl
make it an ideal food for families whe
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
i Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
I better and with less fatigue than il
fed on almost any other kind of food
j All of these facts were proved and
i very interesting information about
i human foods were gathered by Pro
fessor Fisher of Yale University it
1908. You’ll find Quaker Oats in reg
f ular size packages, and hermeticallj
■ sealed tins; the latter is best for hoi
1 climates. !■
