l/VM.J. HARRIS GETS
THE HAND ATMAGON
MEETING OF PEOPLE
ATLANTA, Ga„ May 6 —Although he
is in no sense a candidate for any of
fice and is only in the state at irregu
lar intervals, the remarkable popular
ity in which W. J. Harris, of the Fed
eral Trade commission, is held by his
fellow 7 Georgians, was strikingly dem
onstrated by the applause which
greeted the mention of his name at the
state democratic convention in Macon
this week.
In the course of his speech of ac
ceptance of the permanent chairman
ship of the convention, John W. Ben
nett, of Waycross, took occasion to
approve President Wilson’s choice of
Mr. Harris for a place on the Federal
Trade commission, and immediately
the convention broke into prolonged
applause, which was repeated when
resolutions w’ere introduced and adopt
ed carrying out Mr. Bennett's senti
ments. These resolutions were as
follows:
'■Whereas, The president of the
United States, and the head of the
democratic party in the nation has
selected a distinguished and patriotic
Georgian for the position of director
of the United States census and later
promoted this Georgia democrat to
membership on the Federal Trade com
mission, the Hon. William J. Harris,
and,
“Whereas, This able Georgian has
rendered effective and useful service
to the country in these positions;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the democracy of this
state in convention assembled desires
to express its appreciation and ten
ders its thanks to President Wilson
for this marked recognition of our fel
low citizen, who has shown himself to
be efficient, able and wise in the dis
charge of his public duties, and we
hereby facilitate the party in both
state and nation on his selection.’’
The Federal Trade commission oc
cupies the same relation to interstate
trade that the Interstate Commerce
commission occupies to the railroads
and other carriers in the transport
ing of interstate commerce, it has
great power and its administration of
law? regulating business will have a
great deal to do with shaping the fu
ture economic policy of the
government.
TAX NOTICE.
The law says that tax returns for
state and county taxes close May Ist
each year. Please make your return
for the same at once. Respectfully,
JNO. T. HOWELL,
Tax Receiver, Sumter County.

PROHI LAW IS NOW
IN GEORGIA COURT
ATLANTA, Ga., May 6.—The first
court action involving the validity of
any phase of the new Georgia prohi
bition laws was started yesterday in
Fulton superior court when a local
soft drink manufacturing company
filed a petition for a writ of mandamus
to ocmpel the Atlanta & West Point
Railroad to deliver six barrels of al
cohol which the company ordered be
fore the laws went into effect, which
was delivered after the laws went in
effect, and which the railroad refuses
tc deliver on the ground that in doing
so it would violate the shipping law.
The soft drink company contends’
that the law was not meant to prohibit
■the importation of pure alcohol to be
used in manufacturing purposes, and
that if the law is so construed by the
courts it is unconstitutional. The
concern stated in its petition that it
uses alcohol to dissolve certain ele
ments used in the manufacture of its
drink, and that the drink itself con
tains no alcohol whatever.

HE ST. LOUIS TRIP
Crawford Wheatley, one of the eight
delegates from the state-at-large to the
St. Louis Democratic national conven
tion, and William W. Dykes, both of
Americus, one of the delegates from
the Third district, are arranging for
transportation and hotel accommoda
tions on the trip.
Hollins N. Randolph, of Atlanta, was
elected as a committee of one to look
after this matter, and he is now in cor
respondence with the delegates over
the state.
The Jefferson Hotel and the Ameri
can Hotel in St. Louis will be the head
quarters for the Georgia delegation,
and it is likely that the crowd will be
split because of the state convention
doubling the number of delegates after
accommodations had been arranged
for.
The delegation will leave Atlanta
Monday evening, June 12th, arriving in
St. Louis Tuesday afternoon, June 13th,
the reservation of rooms being from
Tuesday evening, June 13th to Satur
day afternoon, June 17th.

homes of rich Atlantians and stole
thousands of dollars’ worth of dia
monds and other jewelry’ before the
police caught him, and who pleaded
guilty in eight separate cases, yester

nolle prossed.

dorse them.” (Statement given March
28, 1908.)
Dunn’s Made a Cure.
MORE THAN SIX YEARS LATER,
Mr. Myers said: "I can’t say anything
more for Doan's Kidney Pills than that
they cured me, which proves their
value. I always speak highly of Doan’s
Kidney Pills.”

INTEREST IN STOCK
15 GROWING FAST
ATLANTA, Ga., May 6.—The great
and growing interest of Georgia farm
ers in the raising of cattle was de
monstrated yesterday by the large
number who attended an auction sale
in this city of sixty head of fine Here
ford bulls and cows to be used for
breeding purposes. The animals
brought fancy prices, and are among
the very best in the country. It w r as
stated by a famous western cattle
breeder that the state of Georgia has
imported more fine blooded cattle of
the Hereford and other breeds, during
the last twelve months, than any other
state south of Kentucky. In connec
tion with the auction, there W’as org
anized the Georgia Hereford Cattle
Breeders’ Association, with the follow,
iiig officers: President, J. T. Ander
son, Marietta; vice president, C. F.
Shingler, Ashburn; secretary-treas
urer, H. P. Redwine, Fayetteville; ex
ecutive committee, E. T. Boswell of
Siloam and P. S. Cunningham of Leia,

7HE OPERA HOUSE
Dainty, winsome Vivian Martin is
again the bewitching heroine of one of
those bright and sparkling film come
dies which have won her the patron
age and praise of “movie fans”
throughout the country. World Film
corporation will on December 20th re
lease the five-part photo play “Over
Night,” based on William A. Brady’s
successful stage play of the same
name.
Philip Bartholomae wrote the origi
nal play and chose a bright and lively
story for it.
Two young couples, just married,
have made up their minds to spend
their honeymoon in the Catskill moun
tains, up state in New York. And by
a remarkable coincidence they decide
to take the trip by w’ater, choosing the
mammoth Hudson river steamer “Hen
drik Hudson," as the bridal equipage.
Everything looks bright and promis
ing for the honeymooners; until Fate
takes a hand. In the confusion of em
barkation one bride is left behing on
the pier with the wrong husband; the
other bride finds herself on the steam
boat with the wrong husband.
The action of the comedy then pro
ceeds to the Catskill mountains where
the two ill-assorted couples meet and
after many misunderstandings finally
rearrange themselves in their proper
order.
James Young directed the picture,
which has many bright and attractive
settings; a strong cast, and is briskly
acted.
“Over Night” will be shown at the
Opera House Monday. May Bth.

Power
DON’T overlook this matter of
power. It is important. You
want an automobile that will
carry you through mud, sand and
snow, and do it easily. You want a
car that will climb hills, that will get
away quickly without laboring and
straining its every part.
Not all cars can do these things,
but you know that the Maxwell can
because you have the proof.
When the Maxwell stock touring
car set the World’s Motor Non-Stop
Mileage Record a few weeks ago, it
encountered all sorts of unfavorable
conditions—rain, mud and hills, over
country and city roads —yet it cov
ered 500 miles per day, day after
day, for more than six weeks.
Power, plenty of power, unfailing
power, is absolutely essential to such
a wonderful performance as this.
Let us give you a booklet telling
all the details of this record breaking
Maxwell car. And let us tell you
about our partial payment plan, by
means of which you can make a cash
deposit and pay the balance while
you use the car. Give us the oppor
tunity and we’ll prove our case.
