COTTON PILED IN FIELDS AND DEPOTS
AT EVERY POINT IN SOOTH GEORGIA
YYhile Americas is Loaded Up With Bales the Same Conditions Exist in Ev
ery Other Town in South Georgia While Large Stocks Are Being Carried
Upon the Farms as Well—Farmers Would Be Glad of the Opportunity to
Sell at Fair Valuation —Much of the Cotton Exposed to Weather Will Be
Seriously Damaged.
While Americus warehouses are all
stacked to the roof with cotton bales—
not only the four houses here already,
but two new buildings as well and sev
eral improvised warehouses —guano
factories converted for the season into
•cotton storage apartments—the same
conditions are said to exist in practi
cally every other town, large and
small, throughout this territory. At
railway depots and on the farms as
well, there is now an unending wilder
ness of bales.
At every depot along the Seaboard
and Central railways the bales are pil
ed as high as can be reached, while
other hundreds are tumbled out In
nearby fields for lack of storage space.
In village streets are unbroken lines
of cotton bales, many of which have
been lying there for weeks exposed
to rain and storm. On the farms, too,
the cotton is piled up—thousands of
bales —awaiting the turn of the tide,
which is so slow in coming. A great
deal of this cotton will be badly dam
aged, and will require carefcl picking
over and repacking.
A gentleman coming to Americus to
day from over the eastern division of
the Seaboard declared that from Sa
vannah to Amercus the bales were pil
ed up in every town, long lines of cot
ton lying along the railway track, ex
posed to the weather. It would be
difficult to estimate the number of
■bales thus lying around loosely. Ia
Sumter county alone more than 1,500
A>ales are being held on four farms,
a rise in values.
Here in Americus the warehouses
are filled up, as stated, and little cot
ton is allowed to remain unprotected
In the streets. Two local fertilizer
plants have also been converted into
warehouses and are filled up
with cotton bales.

BERLIN FIH BUSY
MANUFACTURING “IRON
GROSS” DECORATIONS
(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, Oct. 23.JImmedlately after
the revival of the Iron Cross at the
beginning of the war not less than
150,000 of these decorations were ord
ered, and about 40,000 of them have
already been conferred. A Berlin firm,
which makes a specialty of manufac
turing orders, keeps twenty men em
ployed all the time making these cross
es. They are made of cast-iron, lac
quered in black and bordered with sil
ver; the first class, in addition to
this, has the reverse side of silver. The
Iron Cross was instituted in 1813, dur
ing the Napoleonic wars by King Fred
erick William 111. as a reward for
bravery in the field. It is conferred on
officers and privates alike, and is, in
fact, the most democratic of all the
Prussian orders.
Institute For White Teachers.
The Institute for the counties of
Schley, Webster and Sumter will be
held in the courthouse, Americus, com
mencing October 26th and close on the
30th, which will embrace five days.
Sumter county teachers will be re
quired to attend this Institute or be
subjected to a fine. All schools will
be closed for the week, and the teach
ers will receive pay for the week the
institute is in session. Full attend
ance is expected.
The Institute will be conducted by
Prof. F. E. Land, state supervisor of
Institutes, and State Supt. Brittain,
and Miss Parish will be in attendance.

ENGLISH MIDJETS HUNT
TO JOIN ARM! AND
EIGHT GERMAN GIANTS;
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, Oct. 23. —Why England !
should restrict recruiting to men of the
minimum height of 5 ft. 6 inches in
days when battles are fought with long
range weapons instead of broad swords
and battle axes is puzzling many
young patriots of under size w'ho are
anxious to go to the front. The old
rule has already caused medical men
to protest both in print and to -the j
Army Medical Advisory Board.
One of the medical journals points
out that what is needed these days is
not brute p.wer to wield heavy
weights, but a wiry physique able to
stand bad weather, irregular feeding,
broken sleep, long marches and brains
to take cover and shoot with skill and
patience. The short man weighs less,
needs less food, is easier of transpor
tation, stands hard marching without
his feet giving way, offers a smaller
mark to the enemy, keeps himself
warm in a smaller space and can shel
ter in a trench better than a big man.
The heavier the man, the more food
needed to keep up a given amount of
physical exertion, and a man of 170
pounds requires a fifth more food than
one of 140 pounds, it is scientiffically
estimated. Hence sft. 3 in. would open
recruiting to excellent material.
TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and Thickness.
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Just a few- applications will prove a
revelation if your hair is fading, gray
or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, is troublesome. An easier
way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about 50 cents a large bottle
at drug stores, known as “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound,’’ thus
avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant. Hooks Pharmacy,

101OANGO WILD WEST
SHOW HERE NOVEMBER 1
*
Miller Bros & Arlington’s 101 Ranch
Wild West show is coming to Ameri
cus. The date has been definitely fixed
for Saturday, November 7. The 101:
Ranch Wild West is the representative
show of Its kind and, according to re
pute, the largest frontier exhibition
now in existence. Miller Bros., who
are associated with Edward Arlington
in the ownership and management of
the show, are the owners of the famous
101 Ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma, and as
the horses, the steers, the buffaloes and j
many of the cowboys, cowgirls and;
Indians come from this noted ranch,
I
the genuineness and realism of the ex
hibition is assured. Some idea of the
scope of the 101 Ranch may be gained
from the statement that it is 21 miles
long and 7 miles wide, that over fifteen
thousand head of cattle and 6,000
are now running free on the ranch,
that 10,000 acres were devoed this year
to wheat alone, 8,000 acres to corn, a
very large acreage to cotton, and hun
dreds of acres to the raising of vege
tables. With such a ranch and its re
sources behind the show it It not sur
prising that it should have a character
peculiarly its own.
In organizing the 101 Ranch show at
the Jamestown Fair seven years ago
the managers announced that it would
be their purpose to present a genuine
Wild West exhibition, devoid of circus
features or any other acts that would
not be in keeping with an exhibition of
its character. This plan, it is an
nounced, has been rigidly adhered to,
and the performance with one excep
tion, it is announced, is confined strict
ly to the exploitation of features pecul
iar to the Far West. The one exception
is a troop of Russian Cossacks, and
they have been introduced purely as a
contrast to the American cowboys’
method of rough riding. Incidentally,
the Cossacks have a particular and
timely interest owing to the European
war.
In the performances to be given here
particular attention will be given, it
is declared, to illustrating the life of
the early settlers as well as the du
ties and pastimes of the modern ranch.
Indians will attack a pioneers’ camp;
outlaws will hold-up the stage coach;
a horse thief will be captured and pun
ished; cowboys on swift horses will
illustrate the old method of carrying
the mails by pony express; there will
®. ' •
be bucking horse contests, a wrestling
match with a wild steer and many
other exciting events.
There will be two performances, the
first at 2:15 and the final one at 8:15.
There will be a parade at 10:30. Ad
vertising Car No. 1 is in the city to
day, heralding the coming of the sho v.
, here with friends.

i Cledon and Judd Klrksey, of Parrott,
