MODERN TRAMP USES MOTOR CAR ATLANTT, Oct. 15.—Just at the time when he cesed to be seen “hoofing it” on the dirt roads and railway men reported he had quit bumming rides, the old time tramp appears in a new guise, it was apointed out her today by police authorities. He is still ragged and unwempt and still looking for work but now he pursues this elnsive work in his private motor car and takgs his fomily along with him. He still asks for a'hangou for the necessities of MRS. WM. BUTTS WAS VERY SICK Gives Full Credit to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for Remarkable Recovery Wellston, O. “ I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to make me strong. I was troubled with my back and sides hurting me till I could not do my work, and when ever I caught cold it made me irregu lar. Since I have taken the Vegeta ble Compound my side and backdon’t bother me and I can do my house- work and care for my children now, where before I did not feel like doing anything or going around. After my first child was bom about four years ago I saw an advertisement in the paper about the Vegetable Compound. 1 knew it would help me, but I was afraid to try it because people said it would help you to have children and I knew I was having children fast enough. But I thought if it would help me it would be better to have a whole house full of children and have good health. I became stronger from taking it and my husband says I look like a live woman instead of a dead one. When Spring comes lam going to take your Blood Medicine as 1 am very thin. I will answer letters from any woman who wishes to ask about your medicine. ” —Mrs. William Butts, Wellston, Ohio. New Star {lf .gjgf Ls £ H Ik ■ Win . V Mk A ill i I ' / ■r - 4 FXJf?

The latter part or September, my son and I left Americus to go to St. Fla., to attend the Na rtional encampment of the Spanish- American war veterans,. We went 1 to Cordele and motored down the , National highway through Valdosta ■to Florida. All along this highway jour eyes were greeted with signs I from a lot of towns and cities in i Georgia and Florida. The further . down we got the more frequent the i signs. All kinds and colors, we saw i Athens, Ga., Macon Ga., Millen, Ga. j Augusta, Ga., Albany, Ga.„ but not -a single Americus, Ga. The only - Americus sign we saw at any time • jin in our travels of over two thous s and miles was one large yellow 3'painted sign with large black let- iters “Smoke Americus Cigars,” but can we not let the tourist know in ‘{some way that Georgia has a city t'called Americus? At St. Petersburg we were the only Georgia men AMERICUS TiMES-RECORDER among aoout 800 veterans and their families from almost every stale m {the Union. We stayed there five days and nights. Every one know ing we were from Georgia, because our badges bore the single word, Georgia. At night around the camp fire men from Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, Tennesse and even far, far off Michigan, Maine, Cali fornia and Ohio would gather around our camp fire and ask ques tions about Georgia, what part are I you from? What can land be bought for there? What do you raise be sides cotton? Does it ever snow there? What kind of soil have you? i In fact I had to answer so many .question from people that seemed eager to learn something about this glorious county of ours that at i times it almost stumped me for .words to tell them PT our city. Bear 'in mind, I only told them the truth about what we have, but at times the truth sounded, no doubt like a .fairy tale. I would say to a man front Ohio, perhaps, why you must have pass ed through Americus when you came down. Oh, no, he would say 1 was told when 1 came through -■lacon that I could not get through on the Dixie highway. 1 had to come down by Perry and Cordele. They all know Perry and Cordele, 1 but they never had heard of Amer icus and Sumter County at Macon. Can We not do something to let these people know that we want them to come through America,s and Sumter county? We can show them the garden spot of the South we can show them what beautiful peach orchards, our bunCreos and hundreds of acres of pecans, and furthermore, we can show them the finest soil for any crop that grows, out we are asleep to our opportun ities. It is about time for us to awake from our slumber and let {the world know; that Americus is on .the Dixie highway, that Americus lis in Georgia. Also that Americus and Sumter county is the door of ■opportunity and say to the world: .We Want You, come and see what we have; and I am sure that some {who are seeking homes will stop, locate and make us good citizens, but we must wake up and let them know what we have to offer. The time is here when we must and will | let the world know that Americus is open to them. Come and see. i Will we sleep on? Or will we w’ake up and go forward? HENRY G. STANFIELD.

The .aggregate saving was nothing, from an American point of view. The real loss to the country was immense. II The unions accepted the decrease, s but the seamen who remained at ;{work did so in no very good spirits, • and those who went out in the com- • 'inunist. strike brought losses to the i shipping companies that far out to ; taled the difference of wage that was in dispute. Shelves Filled , I In the meanwhile the shelves of British wholesalers are filled with excellent materials that are wholly unknown in America, and for which' the United States would offer a I ready and willing market if the pub lie only were given the opportunity 1 to buE ' How the English industrial leader works is illustrated by one casual, t trifling instance an instance, 1 though, that through -myraid du- | plication has brought England close to actual hunger. A Montreal resident now visit in I in Tngland, was attracted by a par- 1 ticularly fine brand of shoes the ! English are splendid leather work ers. He approached the maker’s ■ agent. He said he would like to buy . that sort of shoes at home. He was 1 informed that he would have to ord- • er them from VANCOUVER! That was where this maker’s Canadian store was located! The fact that Vancouver is close to 3000 miles from Canada’s highly populated sec tion never occured to this excellent British shoe man. A great manufacturer of fine ■ prints has his only distributing of , fice for Canada in Winnipeg. Neith , er apparently, offers his wares in the United States at all. Wool scarfs of surpassing fine ness are offered in London and Gias gow and Edinburg shops with few buyers, because the English now are poor. Knitted suits for women and materials of the sort, are excellent ly made though the domestic mar- ket is scant. Most of these goods are not offered in America at all, ' or are offered so poorly that ex- I perienced American shoppers have' never seen them. German* Get Market The Germans making a new mar- J ket for themselves in the world, have penetrated the United States from end to end with fine gloves; used to buy from France. England and trinkets of a kind that America though, using trade methods that might have worked a century ago, is letting her lie idle, and supporting more than a million families on public charity, while she is letting a huge Canadian and , American market rest untouched Hungry and idle men are never patient. To stave off disaster, the government of England is using the public money to pay, indirectly, part of the wages of the coal min ers. It is this agreement, expiring next May, that is expected to be the beginning of a storm that will leave ruin behind it when it has passed, j The funds for the unemployment I TAMS THE PEACE OF “DRASTIC” CALOMEL FOR COLDS & FLU “Pepsin-ated” calomel acts better—clears up colds quicker—and kills flu germs Nasty clinging colds and danger ous flu germs quickly lead to lung infection. Clear up these troubles imme diately, but never do it with old style “raw” calomel. It is too dras tic on your system. There is a newer and more im proved kind that is especially made for colds, grippe and flu. It does not tear through your system like a streak of lightning. It acts mild and gently for it is combined with pepsin, which makes it work slow and more effectively. This new pepsin and calomel com bination is known as “Pepsin-ated” Calomel. It has all the beneficial cold, grippe and flu germ inactivat ing effects of the old style “raw” calomel—but the drastic and un- PAGE SEVEN i dole are running low.
