The first issue of the Columbus En

a vary decided improvement under the ,
new managiemant, especially the edi-,
serial page; which assures a marked
metropolitan appearance.
ON THE WING.
According to Hugh M. Dorsey, the
third candidate to enter the race for
governor of Georgia, he will soon
I have some positive views on differ -
ent matters to give to the people of
Georgia. The people have some posi
tive views which we hardly think will
coincide with the prosecuting at
torney.
It was hard to realize that Dorsey
would run and much harder that he
would not run. On September 12th
the citizens of this state will speak
their wishes, and according to their
! actions and judgement in the past, we
I hardly think they will vary from their
old time form, which means that
Dorsey’s defeat is foregone.
I
But speaking of his candidacy, he
has more vulnerable spots than any
i other public man which has seen fit to
i
raise his head above the water level.
I I
i A sifter would hold more water.
■ I .
Dorsey’s two claims to prominence
■ in Georgia can be laid at the Frank
»
i case and his L. & N. connection. Both
are honorable in their way, but only
a demagogue would seek to use them
in the way which Dorsey seems to be
bent.
It is said that Atlanta politicians
can’t understand why Frank Hooper
does not endurance, and for the ben
efit of those people who are not fam
ilar with Dorsey and Hooper, we
might say that the latter was the
brains of the Frank prosecution. Mr. I
Hooper is a former Americus attorney
and it is not contradicted that he was
| the law in the case. Still. Mr. Hooper
I I
I has not seen fit to place his candidacy,
1 for governor before the people of the
state.

Dorsey will undoubtedly give
trouble in some quarters, but when
the grand finale comes he will be
rolled under an avalanche of Georgia
expressions.
DEVELOPING THE SOUTH.—
I The resources of the South have '
been brought out into the light of pub- !
lie notice and consideration more in
the past few years than in several de
cades before. That this statement is
tiue no one will deny who has given '
thought to the matter, or who has! 1
watched the rapid development made '
in recent years. Progress spelled with
a big P, it seems has inspired our '
people to an awakening over the nat- J ‘
u;al resources and possibilities of our 1
Southland that is nothing short of '
marvelous. '•
For years we had gone along in that '
Kip Van Winkle sleep sort of fashion. '
realizing little of what we had in
hand and at our very doors. In a short
period of time, however, our eyes have
been made to open and at last we are
coming to grasp the situation, are
alive to our wonderful possibilities and
pushing along to the point where the '
South will be recognized for what she 1
is. the most wonderful and resource- 1
fu! section of the new world.
People from all parts of the world '
are coming into our confines. And 1
from the other sections of our own
country they are drifting southward, 1
drawn hither by the glowing reports 1
ct the wonderful possibilities and 1
splendid opportunities to be had here. '
Everything seems to be conspirring in 1
cur favor. Those attending big 1
gatherings and conventions in the' 1
South go away singing her praises,' '
and especially those of Georgia. Her
many natural advantages and resourc- ''
es, agricultural, mineral and otherwise 1
are lauded in the highest terms by all I ’
who come and see. 1
Recently a big agricultural meeting | £
and sociological council was held in 1 '
New Orleans. A writer in the Chris
tian Science Monitor who attended
these meetings says:
‘When it is considered that the
South of the United States has taken
h uger and.surer steps in the last two (
years than ever before toward insur- t
iug to itself industrial independence, 1
by overthrowing the domination of the
single crop and taking widely to di
versification in production, it will, we
believe, be more generally realized ,
that the recent meeting in New Orleans
of the Southern. Agricultural Associa
tion and the Southern Industrial
I
Council should constitute an epoch
riaking event in that section of the
; republic. These meetings have
Pretty Girls, Fine Farms And ■
Good Roads—All Here Among Us
The fame of Americus and her hos
pitality has gone far abroad in the
land, and along with it is her boast for
beautiful women, fine farms and
magnificent roads. Sumter county not
only claims but has witnesses to prove
this. So, in verification we are re
printing an article by Frank T. Reyn
olds, a well known Georgia, now living
ii. Macon,. which he wrote for the
Dalton Citizen:
“From Macon to Americus, seventy
one miles in two hours and ten min
utes by automobile is what the boys
on the street would call “some’’ speed.
But that is what I did last Friday
morning in the highpowered, six cyl
inder, new Chandler car of Mr. Herbert
Block, accompanied by W. M. Little,
manager of Hotel Dempsey, driven by
Mr. Block himself. This could only
have been done on good roads. We
went through the counties of Bibb,
Hoston, Macon and Sumter, passing
through Fort Valley, Byron, Marshall
ville, Oglethorpe, Montezuma and And
ersonville.
Between Montezuma and Oglethorpe
we crossed the head waters of the
Flint river. I saw some of the most
beautiful farms I ever had the pleasure
,to behold. They look more like the
! dream of some artist in oil on canvass
' than the actual, growing organisms
■ they are. There were miles of peach,
pecan and pear orchards heavily fruit
ed, with every tree neatly' whitewash-
■ ed, and every building either painted
or whitewashed. Every stone, fence or
barn the same. I saw’ acres and acres
brought together in conference, it is
understood, the foremost men in the
fi ancial, commercial and manufac
turing activities of the states lying
below Mason and Dixon’s line; men
who understand in every detail the
possibilities as well as the needs of,
the South. When the handicap of ah- ■
sclute reliance on cotton is removed,'
and when the southern people have'
determined upon meeting the needs of
home consumption 'with home pro-'
duction, their geratest economic,
problem, if not entirely solved, is well
on its way toward solution.
“Not in its entire history has the
South seen so clearly as it does today
away to industrial freedom. The
new as well as the old South has until
recently been hampered, rather than
assisted, in its progress by its mag
nificent staple. That which should
have been a benefit has been a detri
ment because it has been allowed to
restrict energy and enterprise, to
stand in the way of development along
lines that promised immeasurably
greater returns. It can be said of
cotton in the South, as has been said
of many other tilings in human ex- 1
perience, that while it is a splendid
servant, it has been a very poor mas
ter. The South had only to put it in
its proper place in order to prove the
truth of this beyond cavil.
“That part of the Union, in point of
real development is only in its in
fancy. In many respects it is as new
as was the West at the close of the
civil war. It calls for increased
transportation facilities and the pro
motion of industries that will turn its
raw materials into finished articles at
home. Wonderfully fertile, rich be
yond calculation in timber and min
erals, the idle capital of the nation,
seeking profitable employment, can
find opportunity for investment in
the South equal to those held out by
any other part of the country or any
other part of the world."
INFLUENCE OF WOMEN
"Women are a wonderful influence
in the lives of most great men,” says
the Washington Post, and upon wo
men rests the responsibility for fam
ily health. To her they look for help
hi times of sickness, and the attention
of every wife and mother in this vicin
ity is called to the rare combination of
the three oldest tonics known, which
Hooks Pharmacy guarantee in Vinol,
—iron for the blood, beef peptone for
strength, and the body-building, med
icinal properties of cod livers. It will

Sumter county are the best in the
w'orld and I am prepared to believe the
statement. We attended the last day's
Jneeting of the Elks. I was welcomed
to the city by Hon. E. A. ("Dean”)
Nisbet, the city attorney with whom I
was associated years ago up in Atlanta.
Tom Hudson gave me the glad hand
also. He is a aendidate for congress
in the Third district. E. H. Hyman,

possible for the busy man he w’as. Hon.

WHOLESUIE SLAUGHTER OF
FLIES IS Iffl MEFHOO
ATLANTA, Ga., May 10.—The old
I method of killing flies with fly swat
ters, which was highly efficient so far
'as it went has given way in Atlanta
to wholesale slaughtering of flies by
means of large fly traps.
After educating the people for years
, to the danger of the fly as a conveyor
of disease germs, the local health
authorities have succeeding in in
stilling into the minds of young and
old alike a wholesome hatred of the
little pest.
The department has now abandoned
the festive fly swatter and installed in
moth the business and residential
sections a new type of fly trap that is
tremendously efficient. When set on
the curbstone with a little honey or
sugar or molasses to a bait the flies, it
catches them by the thousands, and
e;ery night the health department
takes out the catch and re-sets the
■ traps.
FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HUB NOH
" ell. Known Local Druggist Says
Everybody is Using Old-Time
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turn gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
,iu the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
'o keep her locks dark and beautiful
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a 50-cent mottle of “Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound,” which dark
ens the hair so naturally, evenly
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. 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
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to im
part color and a youthful appearance
to the hair. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.
