SELMA ALREADY
HAS WHEAT MILL
IN OPERATION
Selma, Ala., Sept. 29.—While other
sections of Alabama are talking about
the building of flour mills next year in
order to feed the people and give them
flour independent of the Western wheat
farmers and Chicago wheat pit specu
lators, Selma and this section of Ala
bama have a wheat mill in actual op
eration.
The mill is not located in Selma, but
is sufficiently close to the city for this
section of the country to be served. It
is located at Heiberger, in Perry coun
ty, and the mill is operated by W. F.
Moore, one of the leading planters in
that section of the state. He says that
the mill will run on full time from this
time forward during the winter, or so
long as the wheat growers bring their
wheat to the mill to be ground. The
flour turned out by this mill is not
bleached, therefore, not so white as the
flour bought from stores, but it is said
to be very nutritious and quite as
wholesome as any flour that can ba
bought.
It is predicted that here will be quite
r. deal of wheat planted next year and
that this section of Alabama will begin
j to “live at home” as never before, since
the war time makes prices so awfully
high on flour and other things to eat
and so low on cotton. Mr. More says
a great deal of wheat was made in Al
abama this year, but indications point
to a much larger yield of the food pro
duct next year.
JUDGE PARK INTRODUCES
ANDTHERJOTTOH BILE
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29. —Judge Frank
Park, Congressman from the second
district of Georgia, has introduced a
bill designed to handle the cotton prob
lem which is meeting with a great deal
of approbation. The bill authorizes
; state banks to form clearing house as
i sociations to issue certificates redeem
> able on October 1, 1915, in legal tender.
; Business men connected with the
j cotton industry say such certificates
1 would go a long way toward solving
1 the currency problem.. The farmer
; who was paid for his cotton could pass
them on to the merchant or the bankar
and they would serve all the purposes
, of actual money. The press of Con
gressman Park’s home district has
been cordial in indorsing his plan. It
is possible that congress, now wrestl
; ing with the cotton problem, may adopt
this as a part of a plan to relieve con
ditions.
DON’T WAIT
Take Advantage of an Americus Citi
zen’s Experience.
When the back begins to ache.
Don’t wait until backache becomes
chronic;
’Till kidney troubles develop;
’Till urinary troubles destroy night’s
rest
Profit by an Americus citizen’s ek*
perience.
Mrs. H. C. Ferguson, 300 Mayo St.,
Americus, says: “I suffered for quite
awhile from kidney complaint. My
back pained me at times and my kid
neys acted badly. I became all run
down. After taking medicines pre
scribed without getting relief, I was
induced to try Doan’s Kidney Pills.
They proved to be just the right thing.
They regulated and strengthened the
action of my kidneys, removed the
pains in my back and made me feel
like a differeht woman. I haven’t had
any trouble from my kidneys since.
Another of my family also used Doan's
Kidney Pills and they proved their
value in that case as weil as in mine.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Ferguson had. Foster-Mllburn |

THE EDITOR AND DOCTOR
COMPARED BY SCHOOL BOY
An Americus Lad Ventures
Bis Opinion
The Americus schoolbol, who on
yesterday turned in the following es
say, is going to congress all right.
Here is his opinion on the subject of
editor:
“1 don’t know' how r newspapers ome
to be in the world. I don’t think God
does for he hain’t got nothing to say
about them and editors in the Bible. I
think the editor is one of the missing
links you read of, and stayed in the
bushes until after the flood; and then
came out and wrote the thing up, and
has been here ever since. I don’t think
he ever dies. I never saw a dead one
and I never heard of one getting licked.
“Our paper is a mighty good one;
but the editor goes without undercloth
es all winter and don’t wear any socks
and paw ain’t paid his subscription
since the paper started.
“I ast paw if that was why the editor
had to suck the juice out of snowballs
in winter and go to bed when he had
a shirt washt in the summer. And then
jaw took me out into the woodshed and
he lickt me awful hard.
“If the editor makes a mistake tolas
say he ought to be hung; but If a doc
tor makes any mistakes he buries them
and people dasant say nothing because
doctors read and write Latin. When
the editor makes a mistake there is law
suits, and swearing and a big fuss;
but if a doctor makes one there is a
funeral, cut flowers and perfek silence.
“A doctor can use a word a yard
long without him or anybody knowing
w'hat it means, but if the editor uses
one he has to spell it. If the doctor
goes to see another man’s w'ife he
charges for the visit; but if the editor
goes he gets a charge of buskshot.
■When the doctor gets drunk It is a case
of being overcome by the heat and if he
dies from heart trouble; when a editor
gets drunk its a case of too much boo :e
and if he dies it’s the jim-jams.
“Any old college can make a doctor;
a editor has to be born.”
SPEND AMERICUS DOLLARS
WITH AMERICUS STORES
Surest Method for Mastering
Present Conditions
Americus people can find in Ameri
cus stores everything needed for the
fall and winter. Spend with the Am
ericus merchant every dollar that is
to be expended at this time.
There are many reasons for this..
He has credited you through the
summer season and you ought to give
him your cash.
It helps your town to trade at home
and it helps you.
It costs you less to trade at home
and you COB buy everything you need
here. ’ 4 ■ .. _ ’ • ;
When you go elsewhere shopping
you are taking money out of circula
tion at home, and you have to pay rail
road fare and a big price for what you
buy.
When you need help for charitable
institutions to whom da you go?
To your home merchant.
When you want help of any sort
that is to be secured by popular con
tributions to whom do you go?
To your hdfhe merchant.
You do not dare apply to the big
houses in other cities for help for a:iy
of these affairs.
Does it not seem to be fight an 1
proper for you, when you wafit to
make a purchase, to give your home
merchant the preference?
All things being considered, isn’t it
his due that you give him an opportun
ity to supply your wants?
Whenever You Need asGeneral Tonic
Take Grove’s
The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless
chill Tonic is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it contains the
well known tonic propertiesof QUININE
and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives
I out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and
Builds up the Whole System, 50 cents.
Important to all Women
Readers of This Paper
Thousands upon thousands of wo
men have kidney or bladder trouble
and never suspect it.
Women’s complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
oragns to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, bearing-down feel
ings, headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri
table and may be despondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands of nervous,
oter-worked women.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney,
Liver and Bladder Remedy will do for
them. Every reader of this paper, who
has not already tried It, by enclosing
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing
hamton, N. Y.. may receive sample
size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and
one dollar size Pottles at all drug
stores. advt

WANTS DIVORCE BECAUSE
WIFE COES TO MOVIES
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29. —Because, he
alleges, his wife just will go to the
movie shows and flirt with strange men
there, J. R. Jackson, of No 1 Loomis
avenue, has filed suit for dicorce. They
were married in 1908 and have a four
year-old son, but that doesn’t keep
Mrs. Jackson from indulging in the
joys of flirtations in the movies, ac
cording to her husband.
The movie theatres have been the
cause of more family friction than all
the rest of the theatres put together,
according to one local lawyer who
specializes on divorces. The semi
darkness, the crowds and in fact that
women and children attend them alone
much more than they do the “regular”
theatres, he believes, is largely re
sponsible for this, i
