SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doubt Pre*
Teat* Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, ‘‘and
was down in bed for three months.
1 cannot tell you how 1 suffered with
my nead, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did nut help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. 1 thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
■Gibing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
1 think Cardui is the best medicine in
file world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so
arany thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
At all druggists.

The Sport World With Local
Color Dished Time to Lime
Now as the season progresses a line
can be had on just how the teams in
the several leagues of Georgia and the
South will stack when the final games
roll around. Romes, in the Georgia-
Alabama seems to have the best team
in that circuit, winning so far five
contests and losing not a single one.
Close behind these leaders comes the
Newnan bunch. The players from
Coweta have played five and lost only
one of that .number. • “Dead Rabbit”
1 Pierre, the former catcher of the
Muckalee outfit is receiving for the
Rome aggregation and his work has
proven of the best sort. This race will
J prove interesting to fans of Americus,
because of the large number of former
Americus and Georgia State league
I
i players in that circuit.
In the Sally League the race is
waxing warm with Charleston and
i Montgomery, in the order named
leading the run. Charleston, in
Fillingem, seems to have the best
twirler in the league. This spit-ball
artist has, thus far, had no trouble
displaying a tendency to whip every
thing in Cornish’s circuit, and just
' as did long ago when the Georgia
State flourished he bids fair to lead
' the higher society .of ball tossers.
It will be recalled by the large
number of fans how this same “Filly”
used to make things hot for Gaston's
| Americus crowd, when “Filly” was a
i member of Rip Reagan’s Cordele
. I Rabies. Fillingem is a prep, school
i product, having been developed at
j Gordon Institute, in Barnesville, and
l as since his debut into professional
c : rcles, made an enviable record. Last
i year Atlanta drafted him, but after
a short trial, made him a free agent.
! Since being let out by the Crackers,
Fillingem has been in the Sally League.
■ His work this year is the best of his
' career, and through Monday, when he
> defeated Albany 1 to 0, had won four
i straights. A fine record, and one of
i which any pitcher should feel proud
of. Americus friends of Fillingim
, wish him all kinds of success in the
■ world of balldom.
>
The prep, school situation of south-
Gcorgia is rounding into a question of
i which school will prove better, Sparks
I Institute, of Mcßae, or Piedmont In
l ■ stitute of Waycross. Both these are
i cleaning up this section of the state,
t and teams usually in the running
I have left out in the cold. Fore
•; most among those freezing to death
■ just outside the doorway are Tifton
; aggies and Norman Park, two prep
i schools always in the front.
I Norman Park has been cleaned up
by everything, and Tiftoa Las accom
> plished little more than to keep pub
’ lie interest just a little arousea. Mon
i !day, in a game that should have prov
ied one of the best of tne season,
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
Douglas aggies defeated Tifton 10 to
7. and it was a sorry Imitation of the
good game it should have been. Doug
las had previously been counted out
by Piedmont, who seemed entitled to I
the rag. But Sparks Institute jnust be.
considered before the banner is
awarded. This is the first year they
have attained much success in athletic
lines, but they have certainly made up
for lost time. Their operations have
been confined mainly to High schools
I of the section, but in the few games
’ played the prep, schools, victory has
always been the result.
■ I
■ So there seems no way to settle the
i discussion than to let the disputing
,1 parties, Sparks and Piedmont, fight it
. out on neutral territory. And as Amer •
! icus has already been the scene of
' what promi -es to have been a cham
pionship series, we venture the as
sertion that if the series were to come
to this city, enormous crowds would
gather for the frays. So if they want
to play off the tie, bring them by all
»
i means to Americus—the best place on
'■ earth for college and amateur ball.

GENERAL WRIGHT GETTING
MUCH BETTER IN HEALTH
ATLANTA, Ga„ May 10.—Hon Wil
liam A. Wright, comptroller general
and insurance commissioner of Geor
gia, who has been ill for several weeks
at h’is home in Atlanta, is rapidly on'
the road to recovery.
For awhile it was feared that Gen-'
oral Wright would have a complete
nervous breakdown, as the duties of
the office had made a heavy drain upon 1
his strength. His vigorous constitution
has again asserted itself, however, and
he will shortly return to his office in
the capital. Meanwhile he has attend
ed to all important matters of the office
at his home.
I OH! Ml BACK
the expression of many a kid.
XEY SUFFERED IX AMERICUS
A stubborn backache is cause to sus
pect kidney trouble. When the kid-
I neys are inflamed and swollen, stoop-
I ing brings a sharp twinge in the small
iof the back, that almost takes the
breath away. Doan’s Kidney Pills re
vive sluggish kidneys—relieve aching
backs. Here's Americus proof: ,
W. R. Ryals, engineer, Seaboard Air
Line railroad. 221 Brannan Ave.,
Americus, says: “At times I have a
I dull, dragging ache across my back,
'Which causes my limbs to feel numb.
: I have this trouble principally when
|on my feet for any length of time.
| Sometimes I have backache, caused by
| the strain of being in a cramped posi
i tiin so long or the jarring and jolting
.of the engine. I need only to take a
, tew Doan’s Kidney Pills to get prompt
| relief. I often carry them while at
work, and always keep them in my
home.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr.
j Ryals had. Foster-MilbV’a Co., Props.,
