Remarkable Catarrh Cure
That Get* Right into the
Affected Part* and
Stops Gatherings.
8. 8. 8. la • Wonder for tho Eyra. Noti
and Throat.
It Is dofinltoly known that catarrh M 3
bo. cured by the simple process oflnoi-u
--latlnz the blood with antidotal remedies
that *stop inflammatory conditions through
out the mueotiß linings of all tht organs
of the body. This Is done with the famous
Swift’s Sure Specific, or as It
known. S. S. S. It Is taken into the blood
Just as naturally as the most
food. It spreads Its influence over every
organ in the body, through all til-' veins
and arteries, and enables all mucous sur
faces to exchange inflammatory acids ana
other irritating substances for arterial ele
ments that effectually cleanse the system
and thus put an end to all catarrhal pollu
tion. S. 8. s. cleans out the stomach of
mneous accumulations, enables only pure,
blood making materials to enter the lntos
tines, combines with these food elemi nts to
enter the circulation, and In less than an
hour Is at work throughout the body in
the process of purification. . ,
You will soon realise Its wonderful ln
fluenee by the absence of headache and
steadily improved nasal condition.
For special advice on any blood disease
write to the Swift Specific Co.. 2-3 Swift
Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. Do not delay to get
a bottle of S. 8. S. from your druggist.
Always insist that you want S.. »• »•

the world series between the Giants
and the Athletics and the American
league batting championship fight be
tween Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson, both
of which were settled before mid
dle of October?
As strange as that may seem, its
a perfectly good question, for there is,
at least, one rabid baseball fan who
I does not yet, and may not know for
| several months that the Athletics wal
loped the life out of the Giants and
Cobb, as usual, topped the American
leageu sluggers, Jackson running sec
ond.
The fan alluded to is none other
than Charlie Sisson, the young Greek,
whom the regular patrons of baseball
here will recall having seen at the
ball park every day Die home team
played on its own diamond. For sev
eral years there have been few bet
ter known or more popular fans in
1 the city than Charlie, whose weekly
pay envelope meant nothing more to
him than so many admission tickets
to baseball games, or possibly the fare
to some other city, where an extra
ordinarily important series were
scneduled to be played.
With Charlie it was baseball, morn
ing, noon and night. With his full,
attractive face beaming all the while,
he seemed never to tire of talking
’ on the great old national pastime. The
stars of the game from the majors
j right on down to the bushiest of the
bnt.fi leagues, he could recall, wita
: tbeir batting and fielding records, fa
more accurately than the average

UFNERAL OF MRS. HOWELL
HELD AT HIHLOW CHURCH
The funeral services of Mrs. John T.
Howell were conducted at 10 o’clock
Tuesday morning from Furlow Lawn
Baptist church, the large attendance
cf sorrowing friends evidencing
esteem in which she had so long been
held during a life of usefulness and
Christian endeavor here. The ser
vices were conducted by the pastoi,
Rev. Robert L Bivins, both at the
church and at the cemetery on the
former Howell plantation, which she
had loved so well during a long resi
dence there. Many handsome floral
emblems were placed upon the caske-
As a further mark of respect to the
bereaved husband, Mr. John T. Howell,
one of the county officials, the court
house doors were closed during the
funeral hours, 10 to 12 o’clock.

Peculiar After Effects
of Grip This Year.
Leaves Kidneys in Weakened Condition
Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are often very distressing and
leave the system in a run-down condi
tion, particularly the kidneys which
seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back, and
urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals of
ten lead to dangerous kidney troub
les. Druggists report a large sale on
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which so
many people say soon heals and
strengthens the kidneys after an at
tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and.
being an herbal compound, has a
gentle healing effect on the kidneys,
which is almost immediately noticed ; n
most cases by those who try It. Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., offer
to send a sample size bottle of Swamp-
Root on receipt of ten cents, to every
sufferer who requests it. A trial will
convince any one who may be in need
of it. Regular size bottles 50 cts and
SI.OO. For sale at all druggists. Be
sure to mention the Americus Daily
Times-Recorder. advt
as a livelihood. In his position as
waiter in a downtown restaurant he
was always content to permit the
proprietor to arrange the hours dur
rg the winter months, but insi-sted
upon ’putting over the fodder” at
nights *n the summer time, in order
to have the afternoons off and be free
to attend the baseball games.
Never has a nuttier baseball nut
entered or deported from Savannah
than this same Charlie Sisson. It
therefore will not be difficult to sur
mise the suffering expressed in the
letter received from Charlie yesterday,
asking who won the world series and
whether Cobb beat out Jackson. A
regular member of the Greek army,
Charlie’s letter showed plainly that
there are a lot of things quite a bit
more important to his ease °f
than those dealing with soldiery.
In closing the letter lie wrote, “Give
my best regards to O'Connor. A!
Handiboes and all the bunch, and tell
them I have already passed two and
a half months lu. the army and hope
|to be back In dear old Savannah be

POADWAY JONES TONIGHT
i
i The coming to the Opera House to
night of "Broadway Jones" will oe
looked forward to as the real event in
the season’s theatricals, as Mr. Co
han's new play was a sensation in New
York and has been conceded by all the
critics to be one cf the very best plays
seen in New Y'ork, and the best plav
that Geo. M. Cohan has ever written.
This latest offering from the pen of
this gifted author, is a comedy devoid
of slang, as that vernacular is popu
larly defined, yet it contains enough
smart and breezy chatter to keep the
four acts in which it is written whiz
zing along at a speed that keeps it
abreast of the stride that Cohan sets
for all his brain-children, and in this
case a stride or two ahead. When the
play opens, “Broadway Jones” is ar
riving home very late in a condition
that one is not likely to arrive at very
early. The youth is supposed to be
' ery rich, but the morning after the
night before discloses the fact that he
has run through his money, and has
engaged himself to a .rich old woman
ia order to get ready cash to pay off
his debts. His friends try to break oft’
the engagement but fail. Then Jones,
the hero, gets word that his uncle h
died and left him a big property in the
shape of a chewing gum factory, anl
the real action of the play begins. The
scenes that follow show how the young
fellow- is brought around from a de
sire to sell his new property for what
ever it will bring, to an ernest deter
mination to keep it for the good of the
little Connecticut town of which it is
the sole industry, and ‘‘Broadwav’
i
Jones,, money burner and man-about
tewn, becomes Jackson Jones, factory
owner and leading man in his com
munity.
The cast includes George Schaefer,
Thos. V. Emory, Curtis Benton, Caro- 1
lyn Lee. Geo. B. Miller, Maurise M.
Fisher, Mrs. Charles M. Willard, Fred
erick Maynard, Qlive Artell, Grace
Morrissey, Indie Whiteside, C. H. Hen-1
werson and Geo. K. Henery.
“POLLY OF TBE CIRCUS”
Circus equestriennes do not often de
velop into actresses of such promi
nence that they are featured in large
productions. Dainty little Elsie St.
Leon, w’ho is portraying the title role
of "Polly of the Circus,” is one notable
exception and her charming sister, Ida
St. Leon, is another. These pretty girls
w'ere literally born in the circus. They
achieved reputation as accomplished
bareback riders who perform thrilling
feats with apparent ease. Miss Elsie
St. Leon was born less than twenty
years ago in Hong Kong, where her
father and mother were appearing witn
a well known circus. She has filled
engagements with several circuses of
world-wide reputation and can secure
a lucrative position as a features
equestrienne whenever she chooses.
But since her adoption of the stage as
a profession, Miss St Leon’s advance
ment has been swift. In briaf order
she has climbed into the coveted berth
of leading woman. Her interpretatioi
of Polly is exquisite. It is finished and
yet it is charmingly natural. Her free
dom from the little airs and graces
that mar the efforts of most girlisn
actresses enhances the attractiveness
of her portrayal. Polly is not an easy
role. It offers several genuine difficul
ties. Miss Se. Leon mastered the pa*t
by careful study- and by benefitting by
her mistakes. She has not aped the
portrayal of others who have been cast
in this part, but has shown Originality
in her w r ork. While her Polly is care
ful to a fault, it is in no way mechan
ical, every detail being natural and
graceful. Supported by a first-grade
company, including the famous St.
Leon family, she will appear in “Polly
of the Circus” at the Opera House, Fri
day, January 23rd. The management
of the play which stayed a solid year
at the Liberty theatre, New York City,
has strengthened the features for the
thrilling circus act. The production
has been freshened for this trans-con
tinental tour. It is confidently ex
pected that Miss Mayo’s romantic com
edy will enjoy the most prosperous
season of its career. Its longevity is
unanswerable evidence of its enormous
appeal to theatre patrons the country
over.
Public Spirit Soliciting Business Man
This is the slogan that is making the New Americas.
Public Spirit is appealing to the Business Men.
Calamity eroaking cheapens and crushes a city.
Americas is getting away from it and saying “WE CAN DO IT” to herself in tones that will not only sur
prise herself, but all her neighbors.
Her prosperity is coming in cans. Let’s have a trial of the new can opener.
Notwithstanding the many enterprises of Americas, her agricultural connections, her banks and her
growing retail business, her greeatest asset Is her young men When they* are of proper character her #n
ture greatness is assured.
The Young Men’s Christian Association 1- for the purpose of safeguarding this highest hope. It Is worthy
of being put into condition to d > satisfactory work. J
Americus is amply able to do this. .J
She is going to do it. : ; *
You will help.
Better be a booster for a big benefit than a carping critic, condemning the city to the curse of cowardice.

IF BACK BURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally If
You Eat Meat Regularly.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flusn
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well known authority. Meat forms uric
acid w r hich excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the straing,
get sluggish and fail to filter the w’asce
and poisons from the blood, then we
get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, diz
ziness, sleeplessness and urinary dis
orders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
cediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts frem any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-w’ater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean ami active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications. Hooks’ Pharmacy,

IRAN SITTING ON
RAILROAD TRACK
ONE KILLED; ONE IMHO
By Seaboard Train at Ro
chelle Suoday.
Reports reached Americus yester
day of a fatal accident which occurred
Sunday morning near Rochelle, when
a Seaboard passenger train ran over a
white man sitting on the track. The
train left Americus for Savannah Sun
day morning, and upon rounding a
curve ran upon two white men sittin
or lying unon the track. The unfor
tunate men, whose names were not
mentioned, were brothers, and it is
said, had been drinking very freely
Saturday night around Rochelle. It
is supposed they sat down upon the
railroad track and, probably, were
asleep when the train caine upon them.
One was killed instantly and the other j
brother severely injured, it was re- j
ported here.
