CITY MAKES BIG
SAVING ON COAL
Contract at $3 Ton Re
instated After Mis
understanding
As a result of the re-instatement of
the city of Americus’ contract with
the Brusy Mountain Coal Company,
coal for operation of the pumping
station and other municipal purposes
is now being supplied at $3.00 a ton.
This was brought about through the
recent trip of Mayor Sheppard to
Tennessee, where he conferred with
officials of the coal mining concern.
Due to a misunderstanding con
cerning several cars of coal furnish
ed. and other causes, the coal con
cern had suspended the city’s con
tract and with the current price of
coal between $7.00 and $7.50 per ton,
its re-instatement means a substan
tial advantage to the city. Coal is
now being delivered under the terms
of the re-instated contract, and Mr
Pegram, resident vice-president of
the Southern Roilway at Atlanta, has
promised cars will oe lurr.isaed uie
mining company in which to trans
port coal to Americus in quantities
as needed.

SCIENCE BATTLING
WITHMOSQUITOS
Trying To Exterminate These
Carriers of Malaria and Other
Deadly Germs
b
Scientists say that the mosquito
must go. Years ago they were look
ed upon only as nuisances, but every
one now knows that they are a vital
danger to all humanity. Yellow fever,
malaria and many other diseases can
be laid right at the mosquito’s door.
Government, state and city health de
partments are trying hard to exter
minate him but that will not come
for years.
In the meantime we must protect
ourselves. See that prop'er screens
are placed in the home, and spray the
house daily with TORMENT. TOR
MENT is death to insects. No mos
quito or fly can live in its gaseous va
por. TORMENT will not harm cloth
ing or furniture and has absolutely
no effect on human beings.

Bible Class Mourns at
Death of S. A. Jennings
Resolutions of regret at the recent
death of S. A. Jennings have been
adopted by the Bible class of the
First Baptist church, of which he was
a member and their publication in
the Times-Recorder requested. The
resolutions follow:
“We are called upon this morn
ing to pause, in order that we pay
tribute to one of our most faithful
members. ,
“On the morning of May 23d, 1920
a.- the class assembled we were hush
fl in silence for the spirit of Brother
Jennings had passed from us into the
presence of our Heavenly Father.
“He was always present, unless
providentially kept away and mani
fested a keen interest in the study
and Caching of the lesson. He was
ready at all times to give his strength
to the work, his substance to the
needy, his sympathy to the suffering
and his service to his Lord.
“Realizing the loss of our brother
therefore be it.
Resolved,
First, That we as a class have sus- !
tained an irreparable loss. His excel
lent < hristian life, his faithfulness 1
and loyalty to the class and the world. I
endeared him to us all. We feel that '
in his home-going, we have lost a
true friend and brother.
“Resolved,
Second, That we express to his
son and other loved ones our deep
est sympathy in this hour of their
affliction, assuring them of our es
teem for our beloved brother.
• Resolved,
Third, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to his son and that a
copy be furnished the Times-Record
er, with a request for their publica
tion,

FEW RECEIVING
TYPHOID SERUM
Dr. Bond Disappointed
at Public’s Failure to
Respond
“1 am a little disapoointed at the
small interest .people are showing
in the free anti-typhoid serum inocu
la offered,” said Dr. B, F. Bond yes
terday afternoon on his return from
New Era, Methvin’s store and Gam
mage settlements for giving inocula
tions. “The people do not seem to
understand that the inoculations are
absolutely free,” he continued, “and
that they provide positive protection
against typhoid fever infection. If
all the people will consent to take
these inoculations typhoid will dis
appear entirely within a short time.”
Dr. Bond said that at Leslie and
DeSoto, the first communities he vis
ited in his rounds about the county
this week, only about a dozen people
consented to receive the inoculations,
while in the communities visited yes
terday only about twice that number
were inoculated. The serum is ad
ministered without pain and there is
such a slight reaction as hardly to be
noticeable in most cases. Today Dr.
Bond is visiting Concord and Shiloh
school districts, and Saturday he will
be in his office at the court house all
day. All who apply there will be
given inoculations without cost, and
those who have not already done so
should receive these at once.
Plan to Take Care of
Church St. Overflow
The solution of the storm over
flow nuisance on West Church street
is to be undertaken at once by the
city. City Engineer Tiedeman will
make an estimate at once of the
cots of placing an aditional intake
pipe from Church street to the large
trunk sewer back of the Lawson Sta
pleton home, and this estimate will be
furnished the Street committee of
council, to which the problem has
been referred, with power to act.
This problem has been a source of
great annoyance to residents of that
section for several years, and an
nouncement that its abatement is to
be again undertaken will be receiv
ed with interest. Several previous at
tempts in this direction have proven
friutless, but it is believed that the
plan now proposed will obviate fur
ther trouble from that cause.
Farmers Now Needing
Rain, Says Neill Ray
Neill A. Ray, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners,
stated yesterday that farmers in this
community need rain now. The hot
weather prevailing recently, he said,
had helped the cotton, and probably
aided a little in the fight against the
boll weevil, but corn is beginning to
suffer for moisture, the planting of
corn and velvet beans in fields from
which small grain has just been har
vested is being delayed also because
of the need for rain.
Only one-third of the warld’s pop
ulation is white.
A total of 7,594 strikes in this
country have been recorded in the
last five years.
