SMALL PARK TO •
CAUSE PARK FIGHT
ATLANTA, Ga., June 14. —The
smallest park in the city of Atlanta
threatens to cause the bigest park
fight in the city’s history.
At the intersection of Peachtree and
West Peachtree streets, near the heart
of the city, is a triangular grass plot
formed by the joining of the streets,
and the dimensions of this triangle are
25 feet on each of its three sides.
For eyars a fountain stood on the
triangle as a memorial to the late Dr.
Erskine, and when the fountain a few
years ago was to Grant Park
the triangle was left hare except for a
turf of grass on which children play
jack stones and fox terriers frolic.
Being too small even for a bench,
the triangle has not been “developed”
of beautified” as a park; but owing
its location the triangle is exceedingly
valuable for a soda fountain and drug
store location, and the city has been
offered as much as $20,000 for it, and
has received other flattering offers for
long leases.
After leaving the question, of the
triangle’s final disposition undecided
far several months, the city park board
has finally decided that the money it
would bring at sale could better be
invested in the purchase of another
park, or in the improvement of some
park already owned by the city.
But when the park board decided to
sell the triangle, in stepped the heirs
of the Gramling estate, which sold the
tt ’.angle to the city, and claims that the
deed automatically re-conveys the
triangle to the estate shouid it ever be
used for any purpose other than a
park.
ATLANTA HAS MEANEST
PICKPOCKET IN COUNT Rif
ATLANTA, Ga., June 14. —If any
city thinks it has a meaner pickpocket
than the city of Atlanta, let them trot
him out. Atlanta feels certain that she
has one who’s the meanest in the
world. She can’t exactly lay her (
hands on hin| but he’s in her midst
and is still pursuing his trade.
This pickpocket’s latest exploit,
which qualifies him as the meanest
pickpocket in the world, was to take
$3.25 from a man 104 years old in the
waiting room of the terminal station.
The old man was bent and feeble with
age, couldn't see very well and was
getting a bit hard of hearing. And the
pickpocket took advantage of his in
firmities and stole the old man’s mon
ey. Can any city boast a meaner pick
pocket?
A CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL
PURELY ANO SIMPLY
Anent the discussion, or rather the
✓
appiehenvion that the Stone Mountain
Confede;ate Memorial wouid not be
wlia: it should, that is, in keeping with
the traditions of the Lost Cause, Gen.
K. T. Davenport, of this city, address
ed a letter to Miss Mildred Rutherford,
) of the U. D. C., ask
ing ft*i information in this regard. His
iletter brought from Miss Rutherford
byway of response, a letter from Mr.
DorgU'iii, tue sculptor. His letter is
as follows:
' My Dear Miss Rutherford:
“Thank you for your letter. I am
\ery glad you have asked the ques
tions. They have been asked a num
ber of times, but not really officially.
“First, let me say this: I have no
understanding but that this is to be
a great Confederate Memorial. It is
a memorial to the Confederacy, and
to no one else. It would be improper
and inconsistent, and out of place to
put upon that memorial a statue or
portrait of Lincoln. Jefferson I)avi3
will be the main group with Lee
and Jackson. That was one of the
first decisions, as nearly as I remem
ber regarding the arrangement, and
has been repeated again and again
In the committee. 1 think that covers
your two questions.

ALMOST EVERYTHING GOES
BY PARCEL POST
ATLANTA, Ga„ June 14. —Sending
plows by parcel post is being practic
ed by a local dealer. Numerous orders
are being received for the small plows,
and it costs much less to send them by
parcel post than by express. It is nec
essary, however, to wrap them securely
with heavy cloth to prevent damage to
other mail matter. The demand for
plows is unusually good this summer.
According to reports received in At
lanta farm labor is somewhat scarce
and high prices are being offered for
cotton chopping and other classes of
work. Crops are looking well, but are
needing work. Nearly all the loafers
in Atlanta, it is said, have gone to
work.
BIG FAIR WILL PUT
AMERIGUS ON MAP
The Third Agricultural District
Fair is going to put this section on
the map. They know us far and wide
since the promotion of this fair was
started.
This morning copies of the premium
books of the Kansas State Fair which
takes place at Hutchinson, Kae., Sep
tember 16-23, 1916, and Oklahoma
State Fair, Oklahoma City, September
23-30th, 1916, were received at the
desk of Secretary Hyman.
These premium books are works of
art and show the gerat expense and
time employed in getting out a suitable
premium book for a fair.
The premium book of the Third Ag
ricultural District Fair is now nearing
completion and will go to press about
July first.
RECORDER JOHNSON HAS
SYMPATHY FOR WORKING GIRLS
ATLANTA, Ga„ June 14.—1 f there’s
one person in the world for whom Po
lice Recorder Johnson of Atlanta has a
deep and abiding sympathy, it’s the girl
who works for a livng. And the re
corder never lets a chance go by,
whether on or off the bench, to prove
himself her friend.
Yesterday a doctor was carried be
fore him on the charge of cursing the
telephone operator in a looal hotel,
where he lives. The girl was there to
testify, and the doctor didn’t deny the
charge.
“You can’t curse a working girl an
get away with it,” said the recorder.
“Fifty dollars and costs.”

DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE
EXPATIATES FOR CHIGGERS
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.—1 f a
bath in hot water or in water contain
ing salt or strong soap, is taken within
a few hours after ordinary exposure
in, shrubbery and weeds infested with
“ehiggere,” or “red bugs,” no ill ef
fects will be experienced. After a long
e.vposure, however, a bath has practi
cally no effect, and direct remedies are
necessary.
After irritation has set in and small
red spots appear, the application of a
moderately strong solution of ammonia
tc the affected parts is recommended
by the Department of Agriculture’s en
tomologist. A supersaturated solution
of bicarbonat of soda, or common
cooking soda or saleratus, will afford
relief. Liberal applications sould be
made until the irritation subsides. If
the suffering is severe, a dilute tinc
ture of iodine or collodien should be
lightly applied.
RECORD OF TflE PAST
NO STRONGER EYIDENCE CAN BE
HAD IN AMERICUS.
Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone b> is the best guarantee of fu
ture results. Anyone with a bad back;
any reader, suffering from urinary
troubes, from kidney ills, should find
comforting words in the following
statement.
W. W. Rigsby, policeman, 205
Prince St., Americus, says: “I suffer
ed a good deal from an cahing back.
The trouble was caused by my kidneys
being disordered. Two or three boxes
of Doan’s Kilney Pills relieved me of
these ailments.” (Statement given
March 28, 1908.)
Again Praises Doan’s.
AFTER A LAPSE OF MORE THAN
SIX YEARS, Mr. Rigsby said: “Doan’s
Kidney Pills certainly did me a great
deal of good. I am always glad to
recommend them to others suffering
from kidney complaint.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply askk for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that

Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, “and

Our family doctor told my husband he

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. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
1 took eleven bottles, and now 1 am able

1 think Cardui is the best medicine in
the 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

FEDERAL PRISON AT AT-;
LINTA PROLONGS LIFE
ATLANTA, June 14. —Instead of de
priving a man of the time he spends
there serving a sentence, the United
States prison in Atlanta is such a
wholesome and thoroughly beneficial
place to live it prolongs the life of a
prisoner and more than compensates
for the term of his sentence, unless, of i
course, it be a prisoner who serves for
life.
At least that is the verdict of old
man David Esaacson, who went into
the prison at the age of 75 years, and
feeling as old as his years, and came
ctu at the age of 76, but feeling like a
man, of 50.
It was for some trifling infraction of
the federal laws regarding the use of
the mails that old man Esaacson wasj
sentenced to serve a year. He never
quite understood what he had done to
violate the law-, and when the prison
do<TS closed behind him the old man
declared he would never come out
alive. The authorities had shown their
confidence in him by sending him from
Toston to Atlanta all by himself, his
own prisoner conducting himself to
the penitentiary.
But now the old man’s sentence has
been served, the prison gates have
closed behind him again, and once
more he breathes the free air of his
country.
“I added 25 years to my life in
there,” the old man told a newspaper
friend who saw him enter. “They el
ected me the Prisoners’ Friend, and
now I’m going to devote myself to
helping them.”
