Hypnotist Performed Stunts
For the Benefit of People
Aud he went right to that key, not
I - . a slow, uncertain manner, but with
a knowledge that he was sure that
key was hid and that he meant to find
it—and find it he did. Blindfolded,
Prof. Fayssoux, the much-heralded
master of the mystic world, made good
his boast that nothing could prevent
his finding a key hid by a committee
of four selected at random among the
citizens. The final selection included
Dr. Taylor Lewis, a prominent physi
cian of the city; John T. Taylor, a cap
italist of Americus; Carroll J. Clark,
president of the Clark Monumental
works, and Cliff Wheatley, a newspa
per reporter for the Times-Recorder.
The committee properly blindfolded
the professor until he could see about
as well as a mole. Then they selected
Stephen Pace, an Americus attorney,
to stand guard over Fayssoux to pre
vent possible communication. They
then adjourned to the postoffice, where
a box w r as selected in which to hide the
letter addressed to a citizen of the city.
They next came to the Allison Furni
ture Co., and the professor accompan
ied them to the carriage, driven by
two milk-white houses, and the mem
orable ride began, with Fayssoux,
blindfolded and unfamiliar with Amer
icus, taking the reins and proceeded to
give a demonstration of first-class
driving. It is needless to say that the
entire party was scared literally to
death. But after a few moments it

Route C., Myrtle Springs
dawned upon those seated in the vehi
cle that if the worst came to the worst,
a doctor was on hand to give the first
aid service. And if any one got killed,
the monument dealer on hand would
see to it that a proper memorial should
be placed over the grave of the victim,
the capitalist on hand would advance
all money necessary to defray all fun
eral expenses, and the newspaper re
porter present on the wild ride, would
see to it that the dead person would
receive the proper obituary. So with
these doubts quieted, the march again
proceeded. The key in the meantime,
had been hid by the committee in the
rear office of the Clark Monumental
Co., on Jackson street, near the Sea
board railway station.
Prof. Sayssoux went unerringly
around the artesian well, making a
beautiful turn, with the well on one
side and a deep ditch on the other.
Right around by the Confederate mon
ument the party went —all this time
the professor as blindfolded—down
Forsyth street to Cotton avenue. And
here was the only hitch in the whole
proceedings—and it was afterward dis
covered that the committees’ minds
were confused. The party proceeded
W Cotton avenue to Lamar street, a
difficult turn being navigated by the
blindfolded Fayssoux. Straight to the
Stapleton Auto Cb., the horses were
driven, and the members of the party
alighted and took the professor on
I each wrist, and Fayssoux then led
I them straight down Jackson street.
And directly to the Clark company’s
office the hypnotist led them. Then on
to the place where the key was hid,
where a Philadelphia lawyer could
never have found it, but Fayssoux did.
Then, with the professor again at the
wheel—l beg your pardon—the rains,
the carriage took its course up Jack
son street to the postoffice. Amid the
clamorings of the crowd that packed
the place, Professor Fayssoux led his
awed committee, straight to box 58,
v,hich had been selected by those
chosen to see that the deal was fair
and above board. He then found the
letter that had been mixed with a
score of other epistles. And, reader,
please bear in mind that Professor
Fayssoux was still blindfolded. Then
to Hooks’ Pharmacy, where the letter
was given to Glenn Hooks, manager.
This was the man selected by the com
mittee for the letter to be addressed to.
Mr. Fayssoux then read the letter, and
a great ovation was accorded him by
the crowd that thronged the pharmacy.
The committee had never met Pro
fessor Fayssoux, and neither had Mr.
Hooks, or Mr. Pace. He was a total
stranger. It may be said of Mr. Fays
soux that he is a nice, genial, clever
gentleman, was once a student at Col
umbia university and one of the best
masters of the hypnotic world ever
seen in Americus. A large crowd was
on hand to see his performance
Thursday evening, and a still larger
one is expected during his other en
gagements Friday and Saturday night.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
On The Level
By C. W.
' J
We re at it again—and we can find '
no more favorable time for reviving
this column than when the democrats
ere making love to each other at St
Louis. They are having the real big
time of their lives with it all Wilson,
Ptace, Prosperity and Preparedness. A
big W with three P’s isn’t bad for the
country.
Here’s a little story which occupied
au inconspicuous position in the Ma
con News Thursday afternoon. It has
the real sob story—in plain words, and
much philosophy, if the boy of ten
wants work, can’t the boy a little older
be made to work. This is no time for
idleness. The article is:
“Robert Thomas, a young boy about
ten years old ,is anxious for a posi
tion. His mother and his aunt are
both ill, and he needs employment to
help care for them. He lives at 1014
Hazel street. He will be glad to get
work of any kind.”
Newspaper reporters are made to
de many things, and they oo many of
their own free will and accord. Some
tasks are pleasant, while others are
not so much so. And the following is
clipped in explanation:
“Atlanta, Ga., June 15.—Hereafter
the blind tigers who face Recorder
George E. Johnson, of Atlanta, will
not raise a question as to whether the
liquor found in their possession is
really liquor or some other medicine.
Yesterday a negro in w’hose house the
police found a jug of whiskey, under
took to start a dispute, through his
lawyer, as to the contents of the jug,
whereupon the recorder called on a
newspaper reporter to taste the whis
key, and the reporter complied with
orders and sputteringly pronounced it
“white lightning corn.”
We received a card which said: “For
when the One Great Scorer comes to
write against your name, He writes
—not that you won or lost—but how
you played the game.
If you will look in natural history
books you will find the bull moose de
scribed as a not very intelligent ani
mal. Roosevelt has done a great deal
*o make President Wilson’s re-election
inevitable. It looks as if Carranza wil l
c itdo even the Colonel in this respect.

120 Koreans In
Forfeit Os Life
To Wild Beasts
SEOUL, Korea, June 16. —Accustom-
ed as Koreans are to the attacks of
wild animals in the mountains, they
have been astonished to learn that
during the year year 120 people were
killed by beasts and that over 3,000
domestic animals were either killed or
injured. This havoc was wrought by
tigers, leopards, bears and Korean
wolves but it was the wolf, according
to official statistics that did the great
est amount of harm. It is estimated
that these ferocious creatures slew 113
persons and injured 50 besides killing
or injuring 517 cattle and 1,519 other
domestic animals.
The Korean wolf which is locally
known as the neuktai is a powerful
animal of the canine species, a little
larger but longer and thinner than
the native Korean dog. In color it is
brown and gray. It possesses piercing
eyes and in face of danger or while
capturing prey shows wonderful agil
ity, hiding itself in underbrush, jump
ing over high cliffs or swiftly swim
ming across rivers and lakes. In at
tacking a pony or cow it will leap
upon the victim’s flank and kill in
stantly by tearing open some vital
part. In attacking a man it will follow
him for a time and occasionally leap
over his head seeking to unnerve him
and cause him to fall to the ground
w hen it will immediately attack and
kill. Oftentimes it will summon its
mates to assist in attacking. There
are instances of where a wolf has car
ried off a big boy for a considerable
distance or where it has jumped over
a high wall with a pig in its mouth.
The Korean authorities are exerting
every effort to exterminate the animal
and rewards are offered for each wolf
that is killed.
