THE 4MERICUS WEEKLY.TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1900.
PIBST FLOUR OF WHEAT CROP
Ground Yesterday at Black’s Mill
Near Plains.
The first flour oftlie new crop ground
in Sumter county this year was turned
oat at Dlack's mi! 1 , ten miles west of
Americus Thursday. The wheat was
raised by Mr. J. W. Harris, of this
city, at his home on Felder street,
where be had two acres planted.
But this is only the beginning of a
heavy movement against the flour mills
located in this section.
For the wheat crop now being liar
vested in Sumter county is tbe largest
grown since ante-bellum days, and in
quantity’will tar tbe two or three mills
for some time.
Magnificent fields of waving wheat,
Tarying in size from three, five, ten to
seventy-five acres, are to be fonnd all
over this county. The acreage was
large, tbe seasons propitious, and our
thrifty farmers are solid on the bread
question.
Many thousands of bushels of wheat
will be made into flour here.
Improved machinery is being used
in harvesting tbe crop, and it is inter
esting to watch the great reapers cat
and bind tho yellow grain. It marks
tbe beginning of a new era in Hum
ter—one that will pay a handsome
profit to farmers engaged therein.
Many of them here havo always
raised their own supplies, wheat in
cluded, but never before this year on
such a general scale.
ALL SALARIES ARE RESTORED.
Public School Teachers Are Re elected
at Advance.
With the .beginning of tbe next
school term the teachers in the Ameri
cus public schools will go to work with
a ten per cent increase in the salaries
they have been receiving this year.
Such was tbe edict of the city board
of education yesterday.
It was the date of the annual elec
tion of teachers, and there was a full
attendance of board members.
The meeting resulted in the re-elec
tion of all tbe teachers withont a single
exception. Prof. J. E. Mathis was re
elected general superintendent, and
Professor Miller principal of Furlow
school.
The board then took up the import
ant matter of salaries.
A year ago the salaries of all the
teachers, with the exception of Snpt,
Mathis and Prof. Miller, were cut ten
per cent, it being urged that gen
eral retrenchment was needed in city
expenditures.
About thirty teachers were thus
affected, but there the retrenchment
stopped. In no other department were
salaries cut.
At the annual election yesterday tbe
board of education, no doubt, thought
the teachers entitled to tbe salaries
paid them originally and the 10 per
cent taken off a year ago waB accord
ingly restored.
[LETTER TO MRS. IMNKIIAM SO. 46,970]
“I had female com
plaints so bad that it
caused me to have
hysterical fits; have had
as many as nine in one
day.
“Five bottles of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound
cured me and it has
been a year since I had
an attack.
Hrs. Edna Jackson,
Pearl, La.
If Mrs. Pinkham’s Compound will cure
such severe eases as this surely it
must be a great medicine—is there
any sufferer foolish enough not to
give it u trial ?
CANDIDATES HELD A MEETING
HEAVY WHITE VOTE IN SUMTER
MEMBERS OF PHARMACY BOARD
Two Will Be Appointed by Governor
to Fill Vacancies.
Mr. J. Glenn Dodson returned home
yesterday Irom Savannah, where he
has been attending tho annual meeting
of the State Pharmaceutical Associ
ation. Tbe session lasted several days
and was a very important one. Under
the head of "convention notes and per
sonals” the Savannah Morning Nows
makes the following very complimen
iary mention of Mr. Dodsou:
’One of the youDgest members of
tho association, if, indeed, not tbe
youngest, is Mr. Dodson of Americas.
He is regarded as one of tbe brightest
pharmacists in tbe state. He is one
of the nominees whose names will be
pat before the Ooveruor from which an
ppointmeni is to be made when anotb-
:r name is added to the examining
board. Mr. Dodson is a brother of
State Senator Dodson of Americas.”
The Best Food
for Infants
Nature planned that infants
should have only milk for at
least the first year of life. But
thin milk, skimmed miik, will
not nourish. It’s t’te milk that
is rich in cream, or fat, that
does the work. This is be
cause fat is positively neces
sary for the growing body.
Scott’s Emulsion
contains the best fat, in the
form of Cod-Liver Oil, for all
delicate children.
They thrive greatly under its use. _
Soon they weigh more, eat more, |
play better and look better. It’s just *
the right addition to their regular
food. The hypophosphiies of lime
and soda in it are necessary to the
growth and formation of bone and
teeth.
At all druggists; $oc. and so.

TotaliiRegistration Will Reach
" Nearly 1,600.
■ Nearly 1,(100 white voters of Sumter
will be qualified to rote in the primary
for county officers on Juno ffth. The
registration books closed yesterday
with a total of 1,000 voters on the lists.
This, it is said, is the heaviest white
vote ever registered here.
The registration by districts is hero
in given, end the figures may be of
interest to candidates in forecasting
the result.
The 27th or city district, has 812;
15tb district 140; new sixteenth 55; old
sixteenth, (18; seventeenth, 120; new
twenty-sixth, 01; old 2(itb, 108; twen
ty-eighth, 111; twenty-ninth,80.'«s^s-
&, With nearly 1,000 voters registered
it will be difficult to figure upon tbe
result of tho primary,
ffl A Night of Terror.
•Awful anxiety waB felt for the widow
of the brave General Burnham of Ma-
clilan, Mo. when tbe doctors said she
could not live till morning,” writes Mr.
8. H. Lincoln, who attended her that
fearful night. “All thought she must
soon die from pneumonia, bur she beg
ged for Dr. King’s New Discovery, say
ing that it han more than once saved
her life and cured her of consumption
After three sm:ll dozes she Biept easily
all night, and ita furt; er use completely
cured her.” This marvelous medicine
is guaranteed to cure all throat, ebest
and lung diseases. Only 7<0a and $1 00

And Agreed Upon Terms For The
County Primary.
A meeting of the twenty-three candi
dates for connty offices in Sumter was
held yesterday morning at the office of
Jndgo Piisbnry, chairman of the coun
ty democratic executive committee,
and all of the aspirants were present or
accounted for when the general roll
was called at 10 o'clock.
The purpose was to determine plans
for holding tbe primary.
This, it was deoided, would be left
to the good judgment of Judge Piis
bnry, who will select the managers and
clerks, prepare tbe tally sheets and
print the official tickets.
This pats considerable work npon
Chairman Piisbnry, bat all of tho can
didates knew be would discharge the
duty impartially and with fairness to
all of them. Money with which to de
fray tbe necessary expenses was raised
by assessment npon eaoh candidate.
The “off cial ballot” adopted with so
much satisfaction and success in the
state piimary, will be need Jane Gth.
Now that all details have been dis
posed of satisfactorily the candidates
are as freo as schoolboys on a Sat nr
day, and until the date of tbe primary
will pnt in fall time roaring eloquence
into the ears of the voters and getting
elected to the office they seek.
FORMER CITIZEN OF AMERICUS
Receives a Greeting After a Lengthy
Absence.
Mr. Phil H. Dannenberg, of Balti
more, is in tbe city for a day or two.
Mr. Dannenberg resided here daring
reconstruction days, and bis exploits
in fighting carpetbaggers would fill a
volume. When it came to rough-and-
tumble fighting with tbe radicals and
negroes in hotly ontested elections,
away back in the sixties, Mr. Dannen
berg was always at the front, while the
fact that he dodged yankee bayonets at
the polls, climbed into tbe conrtbonse
cupola and held back the clock until a
sufficient number of white votes oould
be polled to settle the result of an
eleation is merely one of maDy inci
dents in his career here. He is now
with the Eagle Pants Manufacturing
Co. of Baltimore, and is receiving a
hearty greeting here.

LARGE SHIPMENTI0F PEACHES.
Capt. Clegg is Sending Them Forward
Rapidly.
Capt. P. C. Clegg, of Americas, who
owns one of the largest peach orchards
in this part oi the state, made several
additional shipments yesterday to
northern and eastern centres, as well
as to Georgia cities. Ilia peaches are
netting him from $3.10 to $5 per crate.
Besides his large orchard near Coney
he purchased tbe past week tbe entire
crop of another orchard of 22,000 trees,
which will net a good profit. Frnit
growers here are certainly in the sad
dle this year.

Fifth Georgia. The list of those going
from this city aud vicinity has not yet
been completed, but it is known that a
goodly number will make tbe trip to

Beautiful Exercises at Calvary Last
Evening.
The Ascension Day services nt Cal
vary Episcopal church last uigbt, eon
dnotod by the rector, Eminent Sir
Knight T. C. Tnpper, acting Grand
Prelate, and participated in by De
Molny Commnudery No. 5, Knights
Templar, were among the most beauti
ful and impressive ever witnessed in
Americas. Tbe Sir Knights, splen
didly uniformed and nnder command
of Eminent Commander 8ir George T.
Sallivan and Eminent Sir William E.
Staley, occupied scats near the chan
cel and participated in tbe services,
entering the church to the processional
hymn “Onward Christian Soldier'
renderod by tbe choir. A large con
gregation attended the service and
heard the beantifnt and eloquent ser
mon of Dr. Tapper. The choir mnsic
was nnasually fine, especially tho
grand solo of Miss Lilia Johnson, first
soprano, which was superbly rendered,

Failure in New York Caused Another
Big Decline.
What the “bears” did to the cotton
market yesterday was an ample suffi
ciency. Augnstcontracts struck a land
slide and tumbled from 8.54 to 8 38, a
loss of more than a hundred points or
one cent per pound within the short
space of two weeks. The prediction
is made that it will yet fall to 8 cents.
The reported failure of Price, McCor
mick A- Co, the largest “bull" house in
America, at noon yesterday doubtless
helped the downward movement. Not
many in Americus were caught by
yesterday’s slnmp in contracts.
