The Opportunity Is Here, Backed By
Americus Testimony
Don’t take our word for it.
Don’t depend on a stranger’s state

Read Americus endorsement.
Read the statements of Americus

And decide for yourself.
Here is one case of it.

they are my old standby. Colds set

times I had severe pains in the small

Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon put
my kidneys in good condition and rid

mi \n.’!'
DAZZLING. GLORIA IN
“MY AMERICAN WIFE”,
j Glorious Gloria Swanson with
Antonio Moreno as her leading man
is to make her appearance at the
Rylander Theatre on Thursday and
Friday in her latest colorful pic
, ture,»“My American Wife,” a pic
,ture especially suited to the best
dressed woman in motion pictures,
as Gloria is aptly named.
The scenes of the remarkable
production are laid in Argentine,
and the story deals with the love ro
mance of an American girl who is
involuntarily enmeshed in a poli
tical plot in which she and her
sweetheart are the central figures.
It is not difficult to' imagine
Gloria’s exotic beauty in a warm
Spanish setting, dashing Antonio
Moreno as her hot blooded lover,
the love scenes, the dazzling gowns,
the glorious thrills of lovers facing
a hostile world together. These are
only a few of the many interesting
features of ‘My American Wife”,
which is another of the bigger and
better pictures that the new man
agement of the Rylander is bring
ing to delight the citizens of Amer
icus.
As its attraction for today the
Rylander is presenting “Adam and.
Eva” a sparkling comedy-drama
Davies, who scored one of j
the ’greatest hits of all tinfe 'in
“When Knighthood Was in Flower.
In the cast with Miss Davies is T.
Roy Barnes, and the picture is filled
with gorgeous gowns and settings. J

MEIGHAN’S HORSE WEARS
RUBBER “BOOTS”
Beer wagons and big horses went
. out of fashion at the same time,
j but in spite of this Cecil 15. De
i Mille discovered a huge black stal
i lion which serves as a mount for
I Thomas Meighan in the Reman bac
chanal episode of “Manslaughter.”*
Thanks to the equipment and
costume, rider and horse appear to
be approximately sixteen feet high
on the screen. Meighan wears a
barbaric costume surmounted by a
helmet supporting an eagle which
gives htm many inches of height
added to his own full six feet.
In order to protect the workers
and the set, the giant horse was
shod with heavy rubber “boots”
which served to lessen the effect
of his iron shoes on the studio stag
ing.
Mounted on this great beast, Mr.
Meighan leads a horde of barbari
ans into the" midst of a Roman bac
chanal at which Lcatrice Joy ap
pears as the hostess.

FLOOD CREST PAST
Alamuchee Creek Higher Than e
Ever Before Known When t
Dam Threatened
t
W. C. McDonald, mi.ter at Wells’ t
mill, and a son of J. M. McDonald, a
owner of the property, was in 1
Americus today and told of howl
nearly the mill dam there came to , z
be washed out during recent heavy ' a
rains. Alamuchee creek, which ’ f
furnishes the mill water supply, Mr. [
McDonald says, reached a higher *-
stage than ever known before, the ; <■
crest of the flood passing Sunday
night. Describing the danger to
the mill dam today, he said:
“Sunday afternoon, May 27, the
water began to rise so rapidly that |
the check dam broke and has kept
buggies, wagons, cars and etc. from
passing that road.
“Tuesday morning, May 29, the
news reached the town that the Mc-
Donald, or better known as Wells’
mill pond was rising and danger of
the dam breaking.
“The water began to rise at the
rate of 6 inches an hour. All the
flood gates were open and every
thing had been done to save the
dam.
“At 11:30 someone noticed a
crack in the earth on the dam back
of the mill, caused from water
pouring from the water box, slosh
ing against the side of the dam,
causing it to sluff of. Soon the
dam began crumbling to pieces.
When one large lump of earth had
rolled into the water behind the
mill house the road had split in the
middle for a distance of about 20
feet long.
“After help had been summoned
Messrs. Charlie Israel, Bob Wil
liams and Seward Jolleys, with a
bunch of negroes began to work
with interest. Trees were cut,
branches and logs piled into the
washouts and sacks of sand were
placed into the water making a
foundation; loose sand was hauled
and the washout soon filled.
“If the dam had been completely
destroyed the entire mill was in
danger of being washed away, car
rying the trestle also. There are
two car loads of corn just received
now stored in the mill.
“Many people from Smithville
came out to see it and rendered
service wherever needed, which was
greatly appreciated by Mr. McDon
ald.
“The. trestle is freing guarded
and trains flagged and made t<
slow down on account of the height ,
of the TWjter.
‘trh|' Writer is higher than it has |
been hfere for some time. No one '
ha:f h«eri able to give an account
qf it being higher.
