THE UIERICUS WEEKLY TIMES--fdcoRDEK: FRIDA^, JULY 20, 1900

«f or in anywise altering the present
status of the Hotel Windsor property,
While Air. James It. Williams has been
duly appointed as receiver to assume
charge of said property unless Air.
Pricker, within fifteen days, gives
|. bond subject to the approval of the
clerk of court, pending final adjudica
tion of the case by the courts.
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn thus rendered
judgment yesterday in the petition for
Injunction brought by the Americus
Manufacturing and Improvement Co.
versus Air. C. A. Fricker.
The greatest local interest has been
aroused by this legal fight between the
company formerly owning the hotel
property and Mr. Fricker for posses
sion. Several weeks ago the company
sought to restrain Mr. Fricker from
changing the present status of the
property until the case could be adju
dieatejin thecourts.
Judge Littlejohn’s decision is sub
stantially as follows
After considering the petition it is
ordered that the defendant, C. A.
Fricker, be restrained and enjoined
from selling, transferring, encumber
ing or otherwise changing the present
status of the property. It is further
considered and ordered that J. II. Wil
liams Esip, be, and ho is hereby ap
pointed receiver.
He will take charge of the property
designated and hold it until fnrther
order of the court.
Thi9 order as to the appointment of
s receiver shall not take effect if the
defendant, C. A. Fricker, shall tile
with the clerk of court of Sumter,
within 15 days from this date, a bond
with approveo security conditioned to
account for and pay to plaintiff such
sum as he may be chargeable with for
the use of the property m case the
Jilaiutifl shall prevail on the final
bearing of the case.
If defendant shall fail to give this
bond the order appointing a receiver
shall then take effect, provided the
plain tit!'shall file with the clerk oi
court a bond with approved security
conditioned to pay defendant snob
costs and damages as he may sustain
by reason of the appointment of u re
ceiver in case (he defendant shall pre
vail on the final hearing of ease.
Just what steps will next be taken in
this ‘ ‘cause celebrae” remains to be

It is not at all probable that the Re
publicans of the Third district will
nominate a candidate to oppose Hon.
E. B. Lewis when their convention as
sembles on August l'Jth. Several days
ago it was practically agreed that the
party would put up a straw man for
Democrats to riddle, but realizing the
utter futility of such effort the party
leaders are now inclined to renig in
this propssition. Col. Johnson, state
chairman, after consultation with some
of the more influential republicans in
Americus and throughout the district
has agreed to leave the matter largely
with them. It is known that several
of the faithful followers of Hanna here
know that it would be a hopeless fight,
with absolutely nothing to be gained,
and are therefore opposed to a congres
sional campaign in the Third. This
was the expressed sentiment of some
of the leaders hero yesterday.
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death,
‘n telling of it he says: “1 was taken
ith Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneu
monia. My lungs beame hardened. I
was so weak I couldn’t even sit up in
bed. Nothing helped me. 1 expected
to soon die of Consumption, when I
heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery.
One bottle gave me groat relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well* an'd
strong. I can't say too much in
praise.” This marvelous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for ail Throat and Lung Trouble.

I fLETTEK TO MRS FXKKBAU HO. 7?,4fsl
I was a sufferer from female weak-
munth regularly as the
I suffered dreadful pains
in uterus, ovaries
were affected und
had leueorrho?a.
I had my children
very fast and it
left me vc ry weak.
A year ago I was
taken with llood-
ing and almost
died. The doctor even gave me up and
wonders how I ever lived.
“I wrote for Mrs. Pinkham’s advice
at Lynn, Mass., and took her medicine
and began to get well. I took several
bottles of the Compound and used the
Sanative Wash, and can truly say that
I am cured. You would hardly know
me, I hm feeling and looking so well.

pound made me what I am.”—Mrs.

How Mrs. Brown Was Helped.
M I must tell you that Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound has done
more for me than any doctor.
*‘ I was troubled with irregular
menstruation. Last summer I began
the use of your Vegetable Compound,
and after taking two bottles, I have
been regular every month since. I
recommend your medicine to all.”—

Situation ip the Delta Regarded as
Deplorable.
While the crops in some sections of
Georgia, particularly about Amcriens,
are good, the situation in other por
tions of the cotton belt are deplorable.
Mr. C. W. Lamar, a large ootton buyer
and exporter, has just returned to
Americus from an extended trip west,
which took him through the Mississip
pi delta and Arkansas.
Mr. Lamar says the conditions ex
isting out there are the worst he ever
saw.
Whole sections of magnificent low
lands, which usually produce the finest
oorn and cotton, are now entirely de-
sertod, the farmers having abandoned
their crops and moved away. One
plantation working 158 plows did not
have a human being upon it, even the
last negro having gone away.
Floods have rniued vast areas of cot
ton, Mr. Lamar says, and the farms
are abandoned for this year, at least. /
Under such conditions it would not
be snrpriBing if cotton brongbt the
highest prioes in years when the next
orop is marketed. There will be no
"anrpluB" and the demand for new
cotton will be great from the begin
ning of the season.
SOUTH GEORGIA IS A WINNER.
In Bidding For the State Fair Next
Winter.
Americas’ plucky and enterprising
South Georgia neighbor, Valdosta,
captures the big state fair prize this
fall, and for the first time the fair is to
be held south of Macon. The contract
between the State Agricultural Society
and the Valdosta Fair Association was
signed by Pope Brown, Martin Calvin
and James Barrett, for the sooiety, and
J. M. Wilkinson, T. G. Cranford and
A. T. Moore for Valdosta's association.
The terms of agreement nre that Val
dosta shall pay all expenses and the
Agricultural Society shall have control
of exhibits. Top thousand dollars
shall be offered by Valdosta for prizes
and premiums. The fair will begin

Primary For County Officers Quite
Spirited.
The primary for the nomination of
county ofiieers in Webster was quite
spirited, und contained a number of
surprises alike for those who were
elected and those who did nt get there.
There was a full ticket, and interest
was at high water mark.
For the legislature Hon. J P. Walk
er carried off'the plum over Messrs. A. | or j
P. Passmore and J. E. Dennard by a
close vote: Walker 107, Dennard 41
und Passmore 131 respectively.
For ordinary JudgeT. J. Tkarpe was
re-elected, receiving 18ti votes against
167 for his competitor, W. H. Cosby.
For clerk of court, Col. Geo. Thorn
ton bad no opposition and scooped the
solid vote cast—365. Clerk Thornton
does’ut run on looks but otherwise his
running qualities aro hard to improve
upon.
In the sheriff's race the vote was: J
W. Montgomery 156, J. L. Horn 132,
C. M. Christian 76.
Sheriff Horn has held the office for a
number of years and is a most excellent
official. Mr. Montgomery, the suc
cessful candidate, is a well known
yonng business man and popular
throughout the county.
Mr. J. P. Beatty wus re-elected coun
ty treasurer without opposition.
The race for tax receiver was three
ooruered and resulted; H. M. Mar
shall 216, R. L. Alston 80, G, W. Sims
65.
A spirited sprint was that between
Messrs. S. Bell and R. A, King for tax
collector, Mr. King winning the prize
and defeating Mr. Bell, the present
incumbent. The vote was 104 to 166.
G. H. Williams defeated O. C
Brooks for corouor by 8 votes only. B.
K. Scott was olected surveyor without
opposition.
There were eight candidateo for the
three vacancies on the board of county
commissioners, the prize going to Mr.
M, J. Leverett who received 279 votes,
the next highest, Mr. Stapleton, get
ting 221 and J. H. Cantrell 210.
