FOR VOTERS OF SIJMIER
RULES WILL BE RIGID
Must Register Six Months
Before Election.
Owing to erroneous impressions cre
ated by certain publications with
reference to Georgia's new registra
tion law r , under which voters must reg
ister for the elections of 1910, At
torney General Hart has prepared in
pamphlet form a letter answering cer
tain questions and elucidating certain
features of the law.
Copies of this letter will be furnish
ed to all tax collectors of the state de
siring it, and from it they may gather
some important information relative
to their duties in connection with reg
istration.
The information will be of value to
the citizen who desires to register and
qualify for voting; for unless he is l
familiar with the requirements he is '
liable to overlook some one of the j
kinks in it w T hich would result in dis- '
franchisement.
The registration books are to be
closed six months before the election,
and the state primary cannot be held
earlier than sixty days prior to the
regular state' election.
The citizen desiring to qualify for
voting must present himself in person
before the tax collector and, at the
time of paying his taxes, subscribe to
the voter's oath and sign his name in
the voters' book.
It will be apparent how these re
quirements are likely to result in the
disfranchisement of many white voters
in Georgia, through carelessness, ov
ersight or, now and then, as a result
of providential causes.
When a citizen goes to the tax col
lector's office he must register then
and there, and it is up to him to think
about it and to do it, if he wishes to
protect his right.
This is applicable to the man who
pays only a poll tax and has been in
the habit of paying it, often, when his
attention it attracted as the result of
an election in order that he might pre
serve his right of franchise. Now he
must go and pay it six months in ad
vance of the election, or lose his right
to vote. _
made for the registra
those, among others, who are
exempt from taxation by reason of
having reached the age limit, but they,
too, must present themselves for com
pliance with the law six months in
advance.
No provision appears to have been
made for the exercise of franchise by
the young man who attains his ma
jority between the time of the closing
of the registration books and the elec
tion, and it would appear, until the
law is amended, he is out of the vot
ing altogether.
Collector Brown Small will soon re
ceive instructions regarding registra
tion.

THE MILLS MAY CLOSE
ON ACCOUNT 0T PRICE
Claims Price of Cotton is
Too High.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 4.—A critical
situation and one or rare occurrence
confronts Southern cotton mills be
cause of the high price of raw cotton
and unless there is a decided drop in
the price of the staple in less than
two weeks, according to ex-President
S. B. Tanner of the Manufacturers’
Association, Southern mills will be
forced to shut down.
“ft is a very easy question to an
swer,” said Mr. Tanner, “as to what
the mills, both cloth and yarn, will
do in the event of 13 cents cotton
continuing as at present.
“It will mean that there will be no
money in textile products and the
mills, after using up what small stocks
of cotton they have on hand, will have
to shut down —that is, if cloth and
yarn do not take a jump, a bigger
jump than cotton manufacturers would
expect under the circumstances."
It was further declared that the
mills are buying no cotton at prevail
ing figures—l 3 cents —nor will they i
lay in stocks at that figure, for the
quotations on goods and yarns are
too low to leave any profit to the
manufacturer. In other words, the
mill that makes yarn or cloth out of
13-cent cotton and sells its product at
prevailing prices will lose its profit
and a great deal more. In fact, the
proposition is impractical and will not
be experimented in by any of the man
ufacturers. )
Many of the mills have some little
cotton on hand which they stored
when cotton was bringing 10 and 11
cents, but these stocks are short and
will shortly be exhausted.
President Parker of the American
Cotton Manufacturers' Association has
called a meeting of the board of gov
ernors for Friday, Oct. 8, in Charlotte
to consider the question of curtail
ment of production in order to make
the present, stocks Os the mills go as
far as possible and to operate on high
priced cotton at as little loss as pos
sible.
The governors will also select the
place for next meeting of the associa- 1
tion.

In the Americus market yesterday,
Saturday, prices were very generally
paid for cotton, with 12 3-4 for the
finer grades. The monthly ginners*
report, issued yesterday, had no visible
effect upon prices locally. The report
showed a total of 2,562,888 ginned up
to September 25, against 2,590,639
ginned to same date last year, show
ing a decrease of about 30,000 bales
this season. The government condi
tion report was 58.5 per cent, the
poorest in years.
. WRIGHT MAKES HIS
MOST DARING FLIGHT.
Beautiful Display By Areo
planist Over Harbor.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
New York, Oct. 4.—Wilbur Wright,
the aeroplanist, today defied air, water
and land in his uight over the num
berless craft in New York harbor and
the North river, returning at a faster
speed with the wind as he came back
over the water and landed at the
starting point. He had been gone 33
minutes and 33 seconds, making one
of the most perilous trips ever at
tempted. The distance of his flight
is estimated at twenty miles.
FOR CONSTIPATION.
A Medicine That Dees Not Cost Any
thing Unless It Gives Satis
factory Relief.
If you suffer from constipation in
any form whatever, cute or chronic,
we will guarantee to supply you med
icine that we honestly believe will
effect permanent relief if taken with
'regularity and according to directions
for a reasonable length of time.
Should the medicine fail to benefit
you to your entire satisfaction we
promise that it shall cost you noth
ing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment of
constipation. The active medicinal
ingredient of this remedy, which is
odorless, tasteless and colorless, is
an entirely new discovery. Combined
with other valuable ingredients, it
forms a preparation which is incom
parable as a perfect bow-el regulator,
intestinal invigorator and strengthen
er. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, and are notable for their gentle
and agreeable action. They do not
cause griping- or any disagreeable ef
fect or inconvenience, and may be
taken at any time, day or night.
We particularly recommend Rexall
Orderlies for children and for delicate
or aged persons, because they do not
contain anything injurious. Unlike
other preparations, they do not create
| a habit, but instead they overcome
the habits acquired througli the use
! of ordinary laxatives, cathartics, and
; harsh physic, and remove the causes
' of constipation or irregular bowel ac
tion that are not of surgical variety.
| We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
1 at our risk. We know- of nothing that
will do you so much good. They are
prepared in tablet form in tw-o sizes:
36 tablets 25 cents, and 12 tablets 10
cents. Remember you can obtain
; Rexall Orderlies in Americus only at
our store—The Rexall Store. Dod

!
finish of Receivership in
Sight Now.
|
; In railroad circles the belief that
receivership of the Seaboard Air Line
will come to an end before the first of
; the year is growing in strength every
day. Some officials think the road
' will be out of the receiver’s hands
' shortly after the first of November, al
, though no definite information to this
! effect lias been received here.
| There is no doubt that the improved
conditions of the road will make it
possible for the dismissal of receivers
lat an earlier date than anticipated
months ago.
The taking over of the Plant City,
Arcadia West Coast road, with proper
ties of the Tampa Terminal Company,
is regarded as one of the signs of the
aear end of the receivership.
The report that the Seaboard was al
so interested in the Georgia and Ala
bama, which has only recently com
pleted an extension from Cuthbert to
Richland, making a connection with
the Seaboard is not credited very
generally.
Many improvements w-ill be made to
care for the expected increase of the
fciture. It is known that the main line
from Richmond south will be improv
ed and additional rolling stock is to
ibe purchased. Among the passenger
j equipment steel cars will be one of the
chief items.
iWhen the reorganization is perfect
ed it is believed that L. G. Haas, now
acting as agent for the receivers, will
be elected president.
CHILDREN ARE GETTING ON
WELL AT THE HOSPITAL.
Five Little Ones From Sumter County
There Now.
Five little children, all residents of
Sumter county, and ill with fever, are
now being tenderly cared for in the
Americus Hospital, where, without the
cost of a penny to their relatives, they
are receiving every care and atten
tion, and all are upon the road to re
covery.
This is but one single instance of
the many evidencing the great and hu
mane work done by this splendid
charity in Americus.
Os the five children, two are mem
bers of the Brooks family living four
or five miles east of Americus, three
of which died with fever quite recent
ly.
When the two children were also
stricken, kind friends went to their
relief uad brought them to the Hos
pital here. The very best care and
attention is bestowed upon these lit
tle ones, and their lives will be saved.
It might have been different but for
the treatment given them here.
No city has a grander charity than
Americus in hospital, where peo
pleple of means and those without are
cared for alike. Surely such an in
stitution merits the aid and support
of the people of the county.

DEATH OF MRS. GLAWSON
AT HOME ON SUNDAY.
Estimable Lady of Sumter Has Passed 1
Away.
The death of Mrs. James L. Clawson j
at an early hour Sunday morning at!
her home near Americus was a shock
to her many friends in the city and
county alike, the end following a brief
illness, with which she was stricken
on Thursday last.
Mrs. Glawson's death was peculiar
ly sad, the dread summons coming up
on her marriage anniversary.
The deceased was the wife of Mr.
James L. Glawson, for many years a
resident of Americus, but for two
years past residing on the beautiful
farm of the Ware-Progress Co., who
with four young sons, mourn the loss
of wife and mother.
During the long residence of the
family here Mrs. Glawson had endear
ed herself to all those whom she
claimed as friend. A devoted wife and
mother, her death falls with crush
ing force upon the afflicted ones near
est and dearer to her.
Mrs. Glawson was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John T. McLain of Put
nam county, who survive her. She
was forty-one years of age.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Monday afternoon from her late
residence in the presence of a large
concourse of friends. The exercises
were conducted by Rev. James B.
Lawrence of Calvary church and Rev.
R. L. Bivins of Furlow Lawn Baptist.
