THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORPER: FRIDA*, JUNE 28, 1901.
PEELS HIS OATS ALL RIGHT R|jUf|g |jj /^QAINST
SALE OF WHISKEY,
HER HUSBAND SOON FOLLOWS.
This lawyer is a Successful Farmer
as Well-
Anyone micht easily believe that,as
a yery successful lawyer, Col. .lames
Williams' talents lay chiefly in that di
rection. This is true in a measure, as
he ranks amonc the best in his profes
sion, but he makes a success of what
ever he undertakes.
£ Long years ago, beforo he went to
the Legislature and acquired fame,
Ool. Williams took a great deal of phy
sical exercise auent the battery of a
Georgia mule.
Aii<l as a farmer he is entitled to a
paetmaster’s degree.
Half the members of the Americas
Bar, including Ex Mayor Hixon, Ex
Judge Maynard, Ex Senator Dodson,
ltepresentative Lane, Judge Ansley,
City Attorney Taylor, Col. Williams
and a dozen others own tine farms
near Americas, and run them very
successfully.!
Tbev do this as a side issue, and
not because they have not amassed
wealth at the bar.
Their discussions upon agriculture
has engendered a friendly rivalry, and
each lawyer-farmer makes it a point
to excel his brethren at tanning as he
would otherwise.
One or two succeeded in raising only
a mortgage last year.
While all the others are tempting
fate in the cotton patch this year Col-
Williams, with great sagacity, execut
ed a flank movement and planted oats.
He has joet harvested his crop, and
the great yield makes him the toast of
the farming fraternity.
Fifty bushels per acre is the record
made by Col. Williams.
On his home place in the city he has
jnst gathered and measured 101 bush
els from a field oi only three and a
quarter acres.
But he haB a Bure enough farm in
the country-, and on this yield heaver-
aged fifty bushels per acre. Oats will
be oats before next planting time, and
Col. Williams will yet “wear a roll”
from the sale of seed oats raised on his
farm in Sumter.
In fact, Col, Williams could open a
school and teach some of the otherB
here how to farm.
Judge Littbjohn So Decides in Case
From Webster
LICENSE ISSUED BY COUNCIL.
Not Valid in Opinion of Judge Lit
tlejohn--Court Has Finally Come to
a Close and Grand Jury Drawn for
Next Session in November.
Saves Two From Death.
“Our little daughter had an almost fa
tal attack of whooping oorgh and bron
chitis,’' writes Mrs. W. U. Haviland, of
Armonk, N. Y., “but, when all other
remedies failed, we saved her life with
Dr. King’s New Discovery. Our niece,
who bad Consumption in an advanced
stage, also used this wonderful medi
cine and she la perfectly well." Des
perate throat and lung diseases yield to
Dr. King’s New Discovery as to no
0 ,t. 9 - medicine on earth. Infallible for
Coughs aud Colds. 50o and *1 00 bottles
guaranteed by E. J- Eldridge. Trial
bottles free.
Tho sale of whiskey in the town of
Preston, under a license granted by
the town commissioners, iB illegal in
the opinion of Judge /.. A. Littlejohn
who, after an exhaustive review
of the caso so decided yesterday and
notified the ofiicials of Webster ac
cordingly.
The case is one of considerable interest
in that county which, until a few
mouths ago,had remained m the“dry"
column a quarter century.
Recently, however, there has been
one moist spot in Preston.
Tho towu is governed by a board of
five commissioners, and these recently
granted license to a local firm to sell
liqnor. Tho prohibition element in
stituted legal proceedings to have the
granting of the lioenee declared illegal,
and this has been done.
It is not known yet what the result
Judge Littlejohn’s decision will be,
or whether it will be possible to carry
the c&Be to a higher court.
Judge Littlejohn was busily en
gaged at Chambers yesterday.
All unfinished business was olosed,
besides hearing an important case
from Dooly county, and tomorrow
Judge Littlejohn goes to Columbus to
preside in an important case for Judge
Butt.
Judge Littlejohn drew yesterday the
grand Jury for the November term of
court, It is an exceptionally able
body, and is named as follows.
Rev L G Henderson, W M Mollatb,
II H McKellar, D C N Burkhalter, E
H Cheek, A B Croxton, W W Davis,

Sohumpert, H R Johnson, sr., R A
Darden, Rev R L Bivins, T U McLon
don, C. A. Fricker, W A Webb.
After drawing tho juries Judge Lit
tlejohn formally adjourned the spring
term of superior court.
DIDN'T LIE ABOUT THE FISHES
Neither Did He Catch Then As Sup
posed.
A Jackeon street merchant varied
the eunui of dull trade a day or two
ago and went fishing, and while it is
the prerogative of a fisherman to de-
ceievo his brother man, even to the
extent of lying, this honoBt disciple
of Ieaao Walton would not blacken his
immacalato rooord by so doing. He
caught no fish, of couse; neither did ho
say so. Hut he came to town by way
of the alley route, and invested a dol
lar in four strings of fine bream and
trout at Sherioeks. These were bunch
ed together and held by little bootblack
in tho back of the buggy. The fisher
man then drove homeward with
proud and self-satisfied amile, the lit
tle nig holding up tho great bunch of
fifty fine fishes to the admiring gaze of
hundreds of citizens. Oh no; he
wouldn't fracture the truth,even about
catching fish.

HEADS MAY FEEL THE CHOP AX
Very Sad Death of a Couple at The
Plains.
Rarely has the Times-Recorder been
called upon to record a sadder occa
sion than that which now shrouds the
little towu of Plains in gloom the
death of Mr. aud Mrs. Edward Clarke
—a couple widely known and held in
the highest esteem there.
There was an interval of a few hours
only between tho parting on earth and
the reunion above.
Mrs. Clarke died at a late hour
Thursday afternoon after a brief ill
ness with typhoid fever. Her death
was a shock to all, as she had been ill
but a very short while.
Tne death of his wife was a terrible
blow to the devoted husband. He had
been in ill health for some tilue, and
the passing away of his wife doubtless
hastened the end. He died at an early-
hour next morning, surviving her less
than half a day.
It was indeed a day of sorrow in the
little town of Plains.
Mrs. Clarke was a true, pure and
noble Christiau, a devoted wife and
mother. Mr. Clarke was widely known
as a successful farmor and sterling
citizen. He was perhaps forty-eight
years of age, and a brother of Mrs.
William M. Tallis, of this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Tallis left yesterday
morning to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Clarke, and not until they reached the
saddened home did they hear of the
sudden death of her brother,
Mr. Clarke was the eldest of a family
of eleven sons and daughters, aud in
his death this circle is broken for the
first time. Besides Mrs. Tallis be has
auother Bister residing in Americus,
Mrs. J. T. McLendon, besides rela
tives in the county.
The funeral services yesterday were
conducted by Rev. J. G, Harrison, of
Tho Plains.

British Cabinet Is Seriously

ANGLO-AMERICAN TREATY

Lord Pauncefote Ku l
the Matter— Attitude of ill** liniUli
Government— No to Delay tue
Work of Construction*
London, Juue 22. —In a tentative,
easy-going sort of way, tue cabinet has
begun to consider the Nicaragua treaty
matter. Lord Pauncefote has explained
many things to Lord Lausdowne, the
foreign secretary, and the latter is once
more grappling the problem. It is need*
less to say that the foreign office has no
intention of hurrying, aud in the course
of a month or so it may come to a deci
sion. This will take the form of in
structions to Lord Pauncefote, who will
return to the United States. These in
structions will not be officially commu
nicated to tho state department until
congress shall convene or the attitude
of the senate in the matter ahull be defi
nitely known.
Lord Pauncefote will probably be per^

GOOD POSITIONS FOR SOMEBODY.
Places In Federal Prison That May
Be Filled.
Americus people on the lookout for
good positions might cast a glance at
the fist of appointments soon to be
made in the Federal prison in Atlan
ta. All told there are 4-1 positions to
be filled in the prison, of which three
are presidential appointments, and the
rest come under civil service laws. The
salary list of all these oilices represents
a total of £40,700, and is as follows, with
the name of the position: Warden £4,
000 per year: deputy warden, 40,000
per year ; captain day watch, $000 per
year; captain night watch, $000 per
year; chaplain, $1,500 per year; chief
clerk, $1,800 per year; stenographer
and record clerk, $1,200 per year
physician, $1,000 per year; engineer
and eleetrioian, »1,200 per year; as
Bistant engineer,$000 per year; steward
and store keeper, $000 per year; farmer
and master of trausportatiou, $1,000
per year; two teamsters, each $000 per
year; thirty guards,each $720 per year.
mitted to interpret his instructions
jretty broadly, aud they show signs of
jeing elastic euough to provide for any
contingency, except a direct refusal on
the part of the senate to recognize the
validity of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Lord Lansdowne is as persistent as ever
on this point, aud, however willing he
may be to abrogate it, he will vigor
ously maintain the potentiality of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty until such time
as both signatories shall have agreed to
its abrogation.
Attitude of the British.
A high official, in the course of con
versation with a representative of tho
Associated Press, said:
“Tho Americans seem to th\pk we
are trying to delay tho construction^
the canal. This is entirely wrong. We
are just as anxious as they are to see it
completed, aud are willing to do almost
auythiug to further that end; but we
do not want to see a treaty we made in
good faith torn up like a pieco of waste
paper, aud we still consider that we are
entitled to some quid pro quo for the
relinquishment of our treaty rights.”
A recent cable dispatch saying that
the Nicaragua matter had been practi
cally settled and Lord Pauncefote, in
consequence, would not return to the
United States, caused iSuch amusement.
It is utterly uufouuded. On the high
est authority, the Associated Press is
able to state that Lord Pauncefote will
remain ambassador to the United States
for the rest of his days, or as long as ho
cares to retain his position.

Same Changes of Seaboard Officials
Expected.
While little is known in Americup,
the air iB full of rumors just now con
cerning all sorts of impending chang
es on the Seaboard, not only among
the executive offices, but in the pas
senger and other departments. The
question that railway officials are ask
ing is what will Mr, Barr do? He has
finished his exhaustive inspection of
the property and is undoubtedly con
sidering some important changes.
He was brought to the Seaboard to
make changes. Mr, Barr is a reticent
man and no definite information has
leaked out concerning his intentions.
Meanwhile the anxious bench is crowd
ed while the edict is being prepared.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There la only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an IclLmed con

tachian Tube, When this tube gets
tnilamed you have a rumbling sound of
Imperfect heariog, and when it is en
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unlesss the intLmmation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
od by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed oondltion of tho mucuous

WHAT CHINA SHALL PAY.
Questlou of Indemnity Is With iii«
Great Powers.
London, Juue 22.—Lord Lansdowne,
a correspondent of the Associated Pn .
learns, does not take such a pessimistic
view of the Chinese, negotiations as
the British newspapers. The new-pa-
peas by no means coincide iu the vi.-w
of the Peking correspondent of Tue
Daily Mail, who cables today that the
negotiations are drifting iuto a hopeless
muddle.
Ainoug competent officials in Down-
ing street it is thought there is good
prospect of settlement. It is denied
that Germany has increased her demand
for indemnity, aud that from the Brit
ish standpoint Germany has now a fan
and rational basis, though, of course, in
common the United States aud Great
Britain would have liked the indemnity
to be smaller.
It is admitted that Great Britain is
partly responsible for the delay in de
ciding the method of payment, but it is
mamtaiiied that she, as the largest
trader with China, is more vitally con
cerned than any other power iu keeping
down the duty on imports.
“This question,” said an official, “is
about the only one that stands m the
way of an immediate agreement. We
want to minimize tho loss to our manu
facturers, to some extent, of concessions
in lieu of increased taxation. We are
not adopting an aggressive attitude, and
we believe that before July 1 the pow
ers will see that our suggestions will be
for the mutual good.”
LOUISIANA PURCHASE SHOW.

Great Exposition.
St. Louis, June Vi.—The foreign re
latious aud publicity committees of the
Louisiaua Purchase Exposition company
have held several important sessious.
They aro rapidly shaping the work of
the great exposition. Foreign govern
ments are already aroused to the im
portance of the fair.
Tho foreign relutious committee last
night devoted two hours to a discussion
of tho best means to reach foreign gov
ernments aud exhibitors, arousing their
interest iu the matter where it has not
already been done. A great deal of
correspondence received from foreign
sources was in evidence.
It establishes the fact that the exposi-
tion starts with the interest of foreign
officials and exhioitors aroused to an un
usual extent.
Tho meeting of the press and pub
licity committees was attended in full.
The chief topic of interest related to the
work which will be done by Mr. Jose
de Cbivares at Buffalo.
