CAPE FUBLO#
DEAD BODY TO
BURIED HERE
Americus relatives received tele
grams last night conveying intelli
gence of the death at Clarksville, at
8 o’clock, of Capt. Charles Timothy
Furlow, a former resident of Ameri
cus, who had been ill at his home in
Clarksville during some time. The
remains will be brought here Fri
day morning, and interment will be
in "the Furlow family lot in Oak
Grove cemetery. Funeral exercises
will be held from the residence of
James W. Harris, Jr., on Horne
street, and will be conducted by Rev.
Guyton Fisher, pastor of First Meth
odist church. The pallbearers will
be A. D. Gatewood, T. F. Gatewood,
T. M. Furlow, J. W. Harris, Jr.,
Stewart Furlow and W. M. Jones.
The remains will reach Americus
Friday morning at 5:15 o’clock, and
will be carried immediately to the
Harris home, where the funeral ex
ercises will begin at 10 o’clock.
Capt. Furlow was one of the best
known residents of Americus during
former years, being a son of the late!
Timothy M. Furlow, a pioneer settler
here, and a member of one of the ■
largest and most influential families
in Southwest Georgia. He was born
in Bibb county, April 15, 1842, and
moved to Americus during his boy
hood, attending the public schools
here. At the age of 16 he ran
away from school and enlisted in the
Confederate army as a member of ■
Co. K Fourth Georgia Infantry, his
company being known as the Sumter
Light Guards, and one of the famous
army organizations of that period. He
was elevated out of the ranks when
he was made aide camp on the staff
of General Doles, May 28, 1861, and
later served in like capacity under
General Phil Cook. He was
promoted to be captain and aide camp
on the staff of Major General A. A.
Wright, in 1864. During the heavy
fighting about Spottsylvania Court
house, Va., he was slightly wounded,
this being the only wound he sus- i
tained during the entire war, al- ■
though he was a brave and intrepid
soldier and a loyal and gallant Con
federate officer. At the close of the
war, Capt. Furlow returned home
with thousands of other Confederates
and took up the work of rebuilding ’
the devastated Southland.
Comptroller’ General Wiliam A.
Wright, with whom Capt. Furlow i
served as a member of the staff of
Major General A. R. Wright, ap
pointed him a clerk in his office in
Atlanta shortly after the close of
the war, and Capt. Furlow retained
that position during several years,
or until he was named to a more
responsible place in the office of
the state treasurer. He continued;
his connection with the state treas
urer's office until ill health caused
him to resign two years ago when
he retired to his home at Clarksville,
where death came peacefully at the
The Empty
Cupboard
The energy of the nation now has full
play. Business is leaping with bounds;
there is so much to be done for those
at home and those abroad.
War stripped us down to necessities;
swept away our reserve supplies; tax
ed factory, mine and farm.
Now we must supply not only our cus
tomary wants, but we must again store
up our normal reserves, while helping
rebuild devastated Europe.
There must be no paralysis of produc
tion; confidence between capital and
labor must prevail; constructive co
operation must rule; the world s sup
plies must be enormously multiplied.
The new American spirit, the Spirit of
Service, must govern. With this spirit
prevalent we take up our huge task
with enthusiasm.

COTTON DUSTING DEVICES
TO BE DEMONSTRATED
A meeting to discuss dusting for
the control of the boll weevil will
be held by the Georgia State Board
of Entomology at Valdosta, Tuesday,
September 16, according to an
nouncement of Capt. John A. Cobb,
a member of the board. All inter
ested are invited to meet at the Sea
Island Station at 9 A. M. of that
day and proceed to the fields, where
an exhibition will be given with the
different types of machines which are
being used in the dusting experiments
conducted by the board. On account
of the unfavorable weather for ap
plying the dust this season the results
so far secured are not very satisfac
tory.
, In the afternoon at 2 o’clock at
i thecourthouse a meeting will be held
.at which dusting for the control of
the boll weevil, seed selection, etc.,
will be discussed by different mem
bers of the staff of the Georgia State
‘ Board of Entomology.
All interested are asked to come
’ and bring . their friends with them i
; and see the dusting machines in oper
! ation.

AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER.
MEETING TO BE
CALLED BY S. A.
ON “Y” BLDG.
A representative of the Salvation
Army has been ordered to Americus
i to call a meeting of the friends of the
Salvation Army to see what can be
done with regard to taking over the
Y. M. C. A. building by that organi
i zation from Dr. Prather and his as
sociates who bough* it at receiver’s
sale Tuesday.
The following telegram was receiv
ed by The Times-Recorder late yes
terday afternoon from Edward Y.
Clarke, director of the Southern Di
vision of the Salvation Army Home
Service Fund, at Atlanta, who was
present at the sale of the Y. M. C.
A. property Tuesday and negotiated
with Dr. Prather at that time on the
matter of taking over the property:
“Have had a conference regarding
the possibility of the Salvation Army
taking over the former Y. M. C. A.
building, and if the Y. M. C. A. is
completely eliminated and the peo
ple of Americus do the right thing
by the Salvation Army I beleve we
can work out a proposition which will
be approved by the official board of
the army in New York, and which
will go to New York with our ap
proval at this end of the line.
“The Salvation Army would not
consider the matter unless the Y. M.
C. A. is definitely eliminated from
the proposition, as the army would
not be willing to infringe upon the
rights of the Y. M. C. A. or to inter
fere with any plans which it may
have for the future in Americus.
“I am ordering our field organiza
tion representative, the Reverend
Fibley Baum, to go to Americus at
once and call a meeting of the
friends of the Salvation Army and
citizens of Americus to ascertain if
a definite proposition from the
friends of the army in Americus can
be submitted in writing at once re
garding the taking over of the prop
i erty by the Salvation Army. If the
army should take over the proposi
tion, it would mean a great deal for
Americus "nd would eventually
establish as one of the
main points of activity of the army
in the South and might eventually
mean the establishment of a big ar
my institution at Americus. When
| the people of Greenville, S. C., did
: the right thing by the army in the
1 establishment of their home there
they did not realize that their act
at that time would be the founda
tion for the wonderful institution
now being ere ted at Greenville.’’
YOUR WIFE CAN USE IT
If you are away from home and
one of your horses takes the colic
your wife can treat him if she has

It is easy to use. Just drop it on

minutes he is relieved. Get it to- j
day. You may need it tomorrow. ,

EAT LESS AND TAKE
BITRO-PHOSPHATE
TO PUT ON FLESH
A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE.
Frederick S. Kolle, M. D., editor of
New York Physicians, “Who’s Who,”
says that weak, nervous people who
want increased weight, strength and
nerve-force, should take a 5-grain
tablet of Bitro-Phosphate just before
or during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the
discovery of a famous French scion
tist, and reports of remarkable re
sults from its use have recently ap
peared in many medical journals.
If you do not feel well; if you tire
easily; do not sleep well, or are too
thin; go to any good druggist and
get enough Bitro-Phosphate for a two
weeks’ supply—it costs only fifty
cents a week.
Eat less; chew your food thor
oughly, and if at the end of a few
weeks you do not feel stronger and
better than you have for months; if
your nerves are not steadier; if you
do not sleep better and have more
vim, endurance and vitality, your
money will be returned, and the Bi
tro-Phosphate will cost you nothing,
