AMERICUS TIMES-
I T?ENTY-THIKD YEAR
AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1902.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE,
u«c<l Quinine for 10 ilnrs
Just take your choice.
An attack of Fever at
this time of year, with
Quinine as the treat
ment, means a week or
ten days lost from Busi
ness.
It means ten days of
mihawriiiess for you and
ten days of hard work
and anxiety for those
who love you.
This is putting it in its
very happiest aspect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a
breakdown in general
health from which some
recu)>erate very slowly.
If you are a rich man
your time is worth much
to your estate. If you

are a jxior man. your time is worth nineli more to your family. The rich
mail might iietter afford to suffer a loss of $100.00 a day, as a result from Oil -
forced absence from business than the poor man can lose the value of his labor.
Both men—rich or poor—are stupid to lose 10 days when 24 to 48 hours is
(lie limit of tune required to put them in good condition by Johnson's Chill and
Fever Tonic.
1 always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
fl.emselves to the Quinine treatment.
The process Is slow. The result uncertain.
. . The treatment disap|iointing.
Johnsons Tonic has two cardinal points that should iiumediatelv commend
it to every thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir
cumstances. , •
Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 30minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It has a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 909 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking it a little oftener.
Johnson’s Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positive
in its action and unfailing in its results.
It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It
will cure any type of fever.
It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints.
Don’t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to
burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson’s Tonic. Use nothing else.
Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison
your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken
out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take your

ATROCIOUS GRIME
(IF DRUNKEN MEN
Aged Woman Assaulted and
Brutally Murdered.
HER ASSAILANTS ARE IN JAIL
Near Flcv.ery Branch, Ga., Cue of the
Most Revolting Crimes In Georgia’
History Is Committed—Mr*. CHrie-
tlna Blake the Victim.
Gainesville, Ga.. March 18.—Mrs,
Christina Biake, an aged widow, proba
bly 75 years old. living 5 miles south
of Gainesville, was yesterday outraged
and afterwards brutally murdered by
two white men, both well known in
this city.
Tbe men held for the double crime
are J. C. Stower and Charley Pirkle
bis brother-in-law.
Of tlieir guilt there can be no ques
tion.
Whpn Mrs. Blake's dead body was
found in her house, her clothing torn
and disarranged, the two men held for
murdering hfr were lying stupefied
with whisky within a few feet of the
corpse, which was scarcely cold.
They had committed the crime and
had made no effort to escape.
Either that or they had been so hor
rified at -their deed that they had
sought to find forgetfulness in whisky
and drank until their benumbed facul
ties refused to respond to the instinct
of self-preservation.
Stover and Pirkle were brought at
once to Gainesville by J. M. Green and
W. L. Bakins' and are now confined
In jfltl.
The prompt action of Judge Estes
In ordering the men brought here as
soon as he learned of the murder is
doubtless responsible for preventing
the swift administration of lynch law
The people in the vicinity ol Flowery
Branch, which Is near the scene of tbs
crime, are worked np to a high pitch
of excitement and violence seemed 1m
minent.
The body of Mrs. Blake was beaten
Up horribly, and from scratches on the
hands of the two men, She met death
only after resistance.
Stover and Pirkle had gone to Flow
eiy Branch in the morning and re
ceived a case of 11 bottles of whisky.
They started for home In a wagon.
The men drank heavily. On the way
home they stopped at the house of
Mrs; Blake and entered, for what rea
son Is not known. They were quarrel
some and soon raised a row.
Mrs. Jack Evans, the adopted daugh
ter of Mrs. Blake, became frightened
and ran to the field to get her hus
band. When she returned with help
the dead body of the aged woman lay
prostrate on the floor. On either side
of her were thk murderers, too drunk
to move. They were tied hand and
foot and Judge Estes, of Gainesville,
Immediately telephoned. He at once
ordered the men brought to this place.
In addition to the bruises found on
the body the neck showed signs that
death had been caused by choking,
finger marks being plainly visible. Evi
dences of another crime were also ap
parent. ,
Stover is a man between 28 and 30.
Pirkle Is a boy of about 18. Stover
has a wife and family.
IRATE NEGRO KILLS HI8 WIFE.
Released from Jail, He Goes Home
1 and Shoots Her.
Opelika. Ala., March 18.—Bud Pitts,
negro, killed his wife here Monday
afternoon by shooting her In the side.
They had had a quarrel a few days
before, and she had him arrested. As
soon as be got out he went home and

boy In the yard anil fled to the rybods.
The sheriff, r’jty officers and many
negroes have been pursuing him, but
without avail so far. He was seen yes
terday morning near here, and It if
probable he will be caught.
