Southern Goods!
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 21.
With the view of extending their efforts
to promote the sale of southern made
goods in the South American countries,
Southern Railway, Queen and Crescent
Route, and the Mobile and Ohio Rail
road, will send their South American
Agent, Mr. Charles Lyon Chandler, on
a tour through South America this
summer. He will leave in July and
visit Brfazil, Argentina and Uruguay,
where the opportunities are now par
ticularly bright for extension of Amer
ican trade because of the European
War. Mr. Chandler made a similar
trip last year.
Mr. Chandler will interview the
merchants and buyers of the three re
publics and investigate trade oppor
tunities generally in order to be able
to advise southern merchants and
manufacturers where and how to place
their products to the greatest advant
a :e. While on this trip, his service will
be at the disposal of Southern firms
who are anxious to have specific trade
opportunities investigated for them,
and will also be glad to assist and
promote their trade there in any way
possible. Firms desiring Mr. Chandler
to represent them should address him
■at 322 James Building, Chattanooga.
No charge will be made for this serv
ice, the work being part of the South
ern’s general scheme for developing
the south.
“There is particularly good markets
for Southern cotton goods in Argentina
and Uruguay at the present time,” de
clares Mr. Chandler, “and over $lO,-
000,000 worth of cotton fabrics, piece
goods, both bleached and colored, could
be sold to Argentine Republic alone
from the Southern States. We only
export $28,000,000 worth of cotton piece
goods annually while our exports of
automobiles amount to $33,000,000!
The South Americans are now looking
to the United States for manufactured
goods and other products necessary in j
their every day life, and there is no
reason why the South shouldd not get a
full share o fthe business if it is sought
in the proper way.”
Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.
•
Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does
not rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce of
food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day’s
accumulations of indigestible waste
and body toxins. Men and women,
whether sick or well, are advised to
drink eachh morning, before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with a
tablespoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, as a harmless means of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
I tvnnf at constipation, billious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
I anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system.

LARGE ENROLLMENT
BOY IND GIRL CLUB
ATHENS, Ga., April 21—The largest
number of boys and girls ever enrolled
in agricultural clubs in Georgia has
been obtained this year. Final reports
coming in after closing the enrollment
April 1 shows that over 20,000 boys
and girls have taken up the work in
corn clubs, canning clubs, pig clubs,
poultry clubs and four-crop clubs.
President Soule of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, speaking of the
prospects, states that they are the
brightest in the history of the club
movement in Georgia, and that with a
favorable season he looks for the larg
est averages in production ini all the
clubs, that have yet been recorded.
Most hearty support has been given in
organizing the clubs by the school au
thorities, teachers, business .men,
county officials and farmers. The en
thusiasm among the club members was
•never so great and their contribution
to eGorgia’s agricultural progress nev
er so promising as at present, is Dr.
Soule’s opinion.
The club work, as well as the ex
tension and demonstration work in
general in Georgia, is in charge of J.
Phil Campbell, Director of the Extens
ion Division of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture, who has been
pushing the enrollment campaign.
President Soule states that the de
monstration work of the county agents
is also moving forward very success
fully during the season of crop plant
ing. Though high-priced cotton will
induce a large acreage of that crop, the
evidence obtained through the county
agents is that farmers are planning to
live on home products and thus be pre
pared for adversities better than here
tofore. According to President Soule
soil building is becoming more and
more a fixed policy of the Georgia
farmer which means a policy of crop
diversifications and more livestock,
j In the territory threatened by the
/boll weevil, the county agents are rend
ering specially valuable service and
are being looked to by cotton farmers
quite generally for information and
direction, says President Soule. Since
all States Relation Service work of the
Federal government is now conducted
through the College of Agriculture
only, valuable contributions, of course,
come from that source and are made
effective in the state through the Ex
tension Division of the College. Presi
dent Soule feels that the interests of
the farmers of Georgia were never bet
ter safeguarded nor the farmers more
responsive to progressive movements
in agriculture than now.
IF BACK HURTS
BE6IN ON SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at Once When
Backachy or Bladder Bothers—
Meat Forms Uric Acid.
No man or woman who eats meat
regnilarly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms ur
ic acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou
ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
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
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
, tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore -breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combine!
with lithia and has been used for gen
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
I stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervesc
ent lithia-water drink which all reg
i:lar meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding ser
ious kidney complications.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
BIILBOIDS OUT
WITHTITEMENT
ATLANTA, Ga., April 21.—A state
ment has just been issued by the rail
roads in Georgia and adjoining states
answering the statement of the post
office department defending the Moon
railway pay bill and the so-called
“space plan” of pay for mail transpor
tation. Following are some of the ex
tracts from the statement of the rail
roads:
“The department endeavored in its
statement to justify the attempt to ob
tain the enactment of the Moon bill by
making it a rider on the postoffice ap
propriations bill. The department’s
defense throughout was based upon a
series of assertions unaccompanied by
proof.
“The anomaly and the injustice of
the present law is that it provides pay
for such traveling postoffices only
when occupying full cars of the length
of 40 feet or more. The railroads are
compelled to furnish the department
with about 4,300 compartment car
postoffices, less than 40 feet long, that
are not paid for at all.
“The weighing of mails is costly ami
annoying only because the department
practice makes it so. The railroads
believe the cost of the weighings could
be reduced 75 to 90 per cent., and all
trouble in the department practically
eliminated. Congressman Lloyd’s bill,
row pending, proivdes such a remedy.
“Payment on the weight-plan, that is
payment for the weight of the mail
carried and the distance it is trans
ported, is in the strictest possible sense
payment according to the service ren
dered, and if the plan were adminis
tered properly by the department, that
is, if the mails were weighed with
sufficient frequency, it would certainly
result in the payments being fairly dis
tributed.”

“How to Find
Husband” After
The Big War
ROME, April 21.—A discussion of
“How to find a husband after the war”
is being carried on in the columns of
the Piccolo. Intense interest is indi
cated by the number of letters receiv
ed from young women readers who
cenfess their fears that there will
not be enough men to go around. One
of these declares her intention to emi
grate to the United States in the hope
of finding a husband.
Another points out that the unmar
ried men remaining after the war
who have suffered deeply by its hard
ships will be inclined to select as
wives those women unspoiled by the
new freedom which the absence of
men at the front has given women,
that the women to find a husband will
have to be modest and obedient.
"Girls now-a-days are becoming too
frivolous,” she states, “and such girls
do not make good wives.” This same
young woman then quotes the counsel
of the wise Arab, Sidi Ahmed Ben
Arun, to his daughter about to be
married! telling her that the success
ful wife “must be as earth under the
feet of her husband; appear to obey
him in all things; never offend his
vanity, or his ears with too much talk
ing;; and never contradict him. So
shalt thou become both master and
mistress in thy house.”
FARMR MUST LOOK TO
HER LKURELS SURELY
ATLANTA, Ga., April 21.—Will Ma
rie Barrientos, the beautiful Spanish
seprano, supplant Geraldine Farrar in
the admiring regard of Atlanta society
swells when the two famous grand
opera stars come here with the Metro
politan for the week of grand opera
beginning April 24? Madame Barrien
tos is one of the most beautiful women
ov the operatic or dramatic stage. She
has jet black hair, jet black eyes, heavy
black eyebrows, and lips that are
crimson. The men have simply gone
wild about her, as the women would
say, and Atlanta women who experi
ence great difficulty in holding their
husbands and sweethearts in leash
during grand opera are scanning the
pictures of the new soprano with ap
prehension in their hearts.
Hitherto it has been Geraldine Far
rar, she of the incomparable voice and
personal magnetism, who once threat
ened the disruption of Kaiser Wil
helm’s family, that was the center of
masculine attention. But Barrientos,
of a different type, of equal magnetism,
glowing with the enthusiasm of youth,
threatens her place in Atlanta’s sun.
Which will win? All Atlanta is await
ing to witness the contest.
TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
A Few Applications of Sage Tea and
Sulphur Brings Back its Vigor,
Color, Gloss and Youthfullness
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revel
ation if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, thougn, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients.
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 Compound,
n 0 one can tell, because it does it 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 morn
ing /all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

ATLANTA MERMAIDS DISPORT
THEMSELVES PIEDMONT LAKE
ATLANTA, Ga., April 21.—Atlanta
bermaids who swim and dive in Pied
mont Lake have decided that swim
ming and diving are not exciting en
ough for their young blood, and ac
cordingly have planned to give the
city this summer an introduction to
the newest of all water games, and the
roughest of all games outside of foot
ball and prize fighting. It is called
cane football and is the invention of
Alleen Allen, champion woman swim
mer of the Pacific coast, who made it
the craze of California beaches last
summer.
The game is played by two teams of
the can while her team-mate bats the
ball. The four positions are sprint
beat, two guard beats and the goal
beat. The object is to bat the ball
across the goal. Large paddles are
used for this purpose. No player can
strike the ball while in the water, and
if a boat upsets and spills its two oc
cupants they must right the boat ible
fore the player with the bat can touch
the ball.
A girl has got to be an expert swim
mer and diver to play the game, but
for those who are at home in the water
and who enjoy having their shins
cracked and their noses mashed and
their eyes blackened, the game is said
to contain more real chain-lighting
excitment per square yard and per
cubic minute than anything else
pfloat.

THE SIGNAL FOR QUICK
LEAVE GIVEN TO BLACK
ATLANTA,
don’t leave town in twenty-four hours,
hell will be your home.”
These words written in large black
type on a piece of cardboard, the card
board tacked under the lid of a small
white coffin, and the coffin left on *
front doorstep, have stricken terror
t<‘ the hearts c£ a large number of ne
groes in the famous "Darktown” sec
tion of Atlanta, and have resulted in
such an exodus of negroes from the
city that the matter has become serious
and the police are making an investi
gation.
Recently a negro woman who receiv
ed one of the notices tacked In a coffin
bud paid no attention to it was found
(dead in an alley with her throat cut
from ear to ear.
Whether the murder and the notice
were merely a co-incldence, or whether
there is really some sort of a fiendish
murder plot hatched conspiracy, for
negroes, is a question the police win
undertake to determine.
The effect upon the negroes could
not have been more immediate and
far-reaching than if there had been a
gigantic and deadly ocnspiracy, for
not only has every negro receiving a
notice subsequent to the violent death
of the negro woman in the alley left
Atlanta, -but many others have decided
there are more healthy places to live.
Reformed And
Writes Letter
ATLANTA, Ga., April 21—That a
prohibitionist is sometimes a maa
who has had experience with liquor, is
proven by the following very remarka
ble letter which Police Recorder John
son, of Atlanta, has received from "a
f-iend of bis,” who has served many
sentences in the city stockade:
“Dear Judge: I see in the papers
where they are going to make a kick
to get beer back here. I trust they will
fail. Let the saloon men go to work.
They are not better than I am. I work
foi a living—now; but when I was
broke they kicked me out. Now they
are getting fired from their jobs by
law. And lam glad of it. I am sober.
Trusting you are the same, I remain.
Your friend etc.”
