Twenty-Second Annual Assembly
-OF THE-
Georgia Chautauqua,
ALBANY, GA„
April 17th to 24th, Inc.
It is with extreme satisfaction that the management of the Geor
gia C"'iutauqua announces the detailed program for its 22nd assembly
i gram which differs somewhat from those of the past, in that
i, C o- ns greater variety. It is a program which should appeal to
the n ..test number of people, because it contains features of interest
to everybody.
VERNORS’ DAY.- -In recognition of the great step forward
wh .. - being made tn water transportation on the Flint and Chatta
h vers, and its important bearing upon the development of the
c • > sections of Georgia, i-lorida and Alabama, the governors
of -e states have been invited to meet at Albany on Governors’ Day
am. r ress the people on this great movement, to be given such
a tre vlous impetus by the early construction of the inter-costal
canal from the Apalachicola River to St. Andrew's Bay. Governor
Jose a M. Brown, of Georgia; Governor B. B. Comer,” of Alabama,
and vernor A. W. Gilchrist, of Florida, will be Chautauqua’s and
Albany’s honored guests on this important occasion.
R M. ASHBY JONES, who will deliver the baccalaureate
eern n, is one of the foremost pulpit orators of America. No man
ha? ever appeared in Albany who would be more cordially welcomed,
or whose contributions to the program would be more pleasantly
anticipated. Dr. Edwin Poteat, who delivers the closing sermon, is
most able, while the other speakers are the best to be secured, includ
ing Col. G. A. Gearheart, of Buffalo, N. Y., and Anthony Fiala, the
Intrepid Arctic explorer.
MUSIC is given a prominent place on the program. A large
well-drilled chorus under the direction of Dr. T. Dwight Reese will be
a feat-ire. Miss Nell Bunnell, soprano; The Toronto Male Quartette
and Rogers’ Chautauqua Band will take conspicuous parts in the
musical program, which culminates in a Grand Day of Music on Fri
day, April 22nd.
NOVFXTIES have been introduced into the program, among
them being the Grand Prize Parade of Decorated Automobiles and
The Gymkhana, which will be out-door features of Automobile Day,
Tuesday, April 19. On Children's Day the Baby Opera and the
special entertainment of Walden, Master Magician, will be enjoyable
features, one by and one for the children.

PROGRESS IS MADE IN
SURVEY IN SUMIER
Soil Experts Are Complet
ing Work.
Mr. J. C. Britton, who for several
months has been making a careful sur
vey of the sods of Sumter county, un
der the direction of the National De
partment of Agriculture, is making ex
cellent progress with that important
work and is securing much! valuable
information which will be compiled in
the book to be published thereupon.
Mr. Britton has headquarters here
m Americus, and makes daily tests
of soils in various sections of the
county. The department will publish
a complete map of the county, showing
the character of soils in various local
ities. and their adaptability to the
growth of certain crops.
Concerning the work in progress
here, the expert gave out the follow
ing interesting .points:
“In making our regular field exam
inations of the soils of Sumter coun
ty, we have encountered a condition
which we believe ought to be explain
ed to the farmers. Some may know of
it, but the majority do.
“We have found in maaiy. places a
hard-pan or very compact layer. of soil,
usually about four to six inches below
the surface and varying in thickness
from 3 to 7 inches. It seems to exist
in places where the clay sub-soil
comes rather close to the surface.
Thus far we have not found it where
the soil is very sandy for a considera
ble depth l .
“It is our opinion that this condition
is brought about by the method of
plowing, or rather by the kind of plow
in general use. The common, old
fashioned turning plow while it is be
ing drawn through the soil lifts a
considerable weight in turning the fur
row slice.
“All this weight rests on the bot
tom of the * furrow, which is always
more moist than the surface, and if the
soil is quite heavy, containing much
clay, as many of the soils of this coun
ty do. the bottom of the furrow is read
ily compacted by tihs weight. The
farmers plow quite shallow here and
at about the same depth, so that each
year adds a little to the compactness
of the furrow bottom.
“This is a serious matter, because
the plant roots cannot penetrate this
compact layer and the plants must
get their nourishment only from the
surface 4 or 5 inches of- soil. By bor
ing through this hard pan we find a
loose friable soil from which) the
plants would draw much moisture and
Iplajnt food, if the roots could get
•to it.
“Obviously the remedy for thi seon
dition is to stop using the old-fashion
ed plow and to break through this im
pervious strata, either by sub-soiling
or by use of a deep running disk
plow.
“On clay land the weglit of the
plow' and the furrow slice should not
rest on the bottom of the furrow-, bat
should be carried by wheels running
on the surface. The surface being
more or less dry and sandy, will not
compact so readily as will the more
moist and clay like sub-soil.
“Any plow carried on wheels,
whether it be a disc plow or a turning
plow’, is the proper one to use on cl ly
land. The farmers of Sumter county
will do well to examine their land and
to use the proper remedy if they find
the hard-pan.”

BREWER’S RICH DAUGHTER
FIGHTS DENTIST BILL
Declares an Hour Is Too Much for
n Dentist—Trunks Attached.
Chicago, April 12. —“ Not a nickel! I
never will pay that bill. I will fight it
to the Supreme Court. I will let him
attach all The clothes I’ve got, I will
then emot on got the better of
Miss Nellie Anheuser,' member of the
St. Louis brewing family and heiress
to millions, whose pin money is said to
be SSOO a week, as she was telling of
her experience With bailiffs and law
yers who sought to collect a bill for
Dr. Robert Good; a dentist.
The story briefly 'old is this: Some
time ago iMiss Anheuser bad work
done by Dr. Good. He charged her
$25 an hour. The bill has never been
paid.
When she came to Chicago to attend
the opera Dr. Good attached her
trunks, including the one containing
the gown she was to wear. After ap
peals for help, Edward F. Mayer, treas
urer of the Stratford, gave bond to the
bailiff who was perched on the trunk.
“The work was no good anyway,”
Miss Anheuser said. “It had to be
done all over again. And $25 an hour!
It’s outrageous. I won’t pay it. I’ll
fight it to the highest courts first. Nev
er, never, never, will T pay a cent.”
“No, we drln’t go tcf ’the opera,” Miss
An.heuser added.
liitlaminatory Rheumatism fHred In

Morton L. Hill, of Lebanon, Ind.,
says: “My wife had Inflammatory
Rheumatism in every muscle and
joint; her suffering was terrible and
her body and face were swollen al
most beyond recognition; had been in
bed for six weeks and had eight phy
sicians, hut received no benefit until
she tried DR. DETCHON’S RELIEF
FOR RHEUMATISM. It- gave Immed
iate relief .and -she was able to walk
about in three days. I am sure It saved
her life.” Sold by Eldrldge Drug Co.
SOME “SWEETENING” IN STORE
FOR FOLKS IN AMERICUS
Thousand Barrels of Sugar Held in
Readiness.
Americus people who “take sugar in
theirs” need bave no fear regarding
an abundant supply. One thousand
barrels granulated sugar stocked ur
in the storage warehuse of the Ameri
cus Grocery Company, and represent
ing an investment of $16,000 or $lB,-
000. safeguards this section from any
sugar shortage during the blackberry
pie season and the fruit-canning era.
Just now sugar is comparatively cheap
—if any kind of food product can be
called so any longer—-but prices will
probably go kiting as usual as the
fruit season approaches, with increas
ed demand for something to spread on
tbe peaches.
This contractor got results.
Some years ago a contractor build
ing a railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
and his men showed a decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal. 53

Could such a record be made without actual and supe
rior merit ? Read what this woman says, and realize that
. the results secured in her case could not have been made
’ except by a very good medicine.
Lawrence, Kans. —“ Iwas a (treat sufferer from a weakness,
irregular periods, headaches, backaches and other female trou
bles, which caused a weak and broken-down condition of the
system. My side was so sore I could not lie on it. I saw in my
daily paper that Lydia L. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound was
good for all female troubles and had done so much for other
suffering women, so I felt sure it would help me, and it has
’ helped me wonderfully. I got relief from the first bottle. My
aelies ami pains till left mo and as I continued taking the Com
pound I grew stronger. Within three months 1 was a perfectly
well woman, and I want this letter made public to show what
benefits women may derive from Lydia 19. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.”—Mrs. J ulia A. Snow, Koute No. 8, Lawrence, Kans.
Science in surgery and electricity Iras advanced much in
tbe past 30- years, but the treatment of disease by the old
fashioned roots and herbs method has never been improved
upon. The fact that this leader of them all— Lydia E.
Piokham’s Vegetable Compound —is to-day the largest
seller of any similar medicine in the world, is proof positive
of its value and superiority, for with all our enterprise and
advertising we could not keep fooling the people for 30
years. Merit and merit alone is what has made Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound the standard medicine for
treating diseases peculiar to women.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to l(}f Jr
herself who will not try this famous medicine. C / a. _ \ J

RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is a. specific blood fermentation, a souring
of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating [' l&BW
in the blood stream. This uratic impurity conies usually as 11 iwlji
a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom-. \\ Muf/I
ach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not he 'vejf*Wt
of marked severity or of long duration, but each lias a direct
effect on the eliminative members of the bod}-, which prevents &JM
the proper removal of the -waste products. This refuse re
mains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms ir ' . y\l !
acid, which the blood quickly absorbs. W f
Rheumatism is usually manifested in the Joints an.l // JnVf
muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, an 1 . // I VI
stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The 7 / \?A
pain of Rheumatism is caused by the contact of the sensory
nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid cause s
to accumulate in the corpuscles of the b'lood about the joints. The stiff
ening of muscles and joints is usuall" gradual. Constantly the blood
deposits the uric acid into the joints, and sloVly the natural fluids are dried
up and destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. Rheuma-
