: THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1907 ONERS WILL BE GUARDED CAREFULLY. Escapes In Americus To Cease. PRECAUTIONS WILL BE BETTER NewRe^ulations as to Care of Convicts Will Prevent frequent flight -•Desperate Characters Are Caught Here. FLIGHT OF ZEBRA IS CHECKED BY BULLET First Convict Is Landed Already SHERIFF IS; HERE FOR BAD ZULU WITH GUN SEAB BROWN IS IN PEN AGAIN Special precautions wilt hereafter be taken to prevent the escape of convicts either from the old jail building where convicts are quartered, or while at work in the open. To that end there will be new regulations established that will tend to lessen the probability of successful attempts to secure freedom on the part of those serving sentences in Snmter county. “The truth of the matter is,” said a well known citizen yesterday, “our officials and citizens have not properly appreciated the great change that has come over the character of prisoners daring the past two or three years. “Our criminals are now made up of a decidedly more desperate class than some few years back. Turpentine hands and saw mill hands, are goner- »lly recognized as among the worst class of negro laborers. Many of them have fled to the stills and mills from places where they have committed some offence against the laws. “When they are caught here for some other crime and incarcerated in the jail, or pot to work on the highways, they are willing to take desperate chances to escape, “It must be realized by all that such prisoners require more careful watch ing than the old class o 1 prisoners we have been accustomed to. Tt will now t*e necessary to put much more stringent regulations into effect, limit ing the liberty of the public to visit the prisoners and of tho prisoners to meet their relatives and friends. “Once this is done, we will hear no more of general escapes.” It is understood that steps along the line indicated above are about to be taken. The sheriff will probably instruct the jailor tp allow no one to see /prisoners except on an order from him. Any one : wishing to see a prisoner must either be searched or have a guard stand by while conversation is being carried on, so as to prevent the slipping to the ' prisoners of tools that could be used for on escape. It is also likely that extra guards will be used while the convicts are at work, and that much stricter regula tions will govern the convicts while on the highways. In this way it is proba ble that the likelihood of escapes will be reduced to a minimum. Prisoner Who Escaped Monday Is Caught Near Warwick—Rifle Ball Wings Him As He Sprinted.

I lost llesb and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandoned svork entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured." Why not let it help you? F. M. Me- l.aughlin & Co. Chas. Thompson, Negro Caught With Bill Reese Here, is Carried to Florida Yesterday Upon Charge of Murder. To Americus yesterday u-ame Deputy Sheriff Livingston of Quincy, Fla., to look over the negro,Charles Thompson, captured here two weeks ago in com pany with Bill Reese, the murderer of Polieo Officer Morris. Thompson was held for “investiga tion" and found to he wanted in Flori da for murder. For several days the police depart ment here has been in correspondence k’ith the Florida authorities, with the result that Deputy Livingston came on to Americus yesterday. Thompson is wanted for killing an other negro there, and has long been dodging the sheriff of that county. There was no reward for him, although the expenses of keeping the negro here for two weeks were paid In full. Sheriff Livingston left for Quincy at noon yesterday with his prisoner. Cannot Play Americus As Proposed CITY COUNCIL THUS ORDERS Lack of Sufficient Patronage The Ministers Present a Petition and Cause of Early Demise-••Again- Demonstrated That Americus Is A One Paper Town.

F. it. Mc Laughlin A Co. THIRTY YEARS OF SERVICE GONE Represented in the Escape of Eigh teen Convicts. Sumter’s two “uniformed nines” the eighteen convicts who escaped here recently and are still at large, represent a pretty penny to the county. One of the couithouse officials fond of figures has ascertained that the eighteen con victs thus escaped are worth nearly $11,000 in cash to the county or, to be accurate $10,800. Several of the fleeting zebras had front one to three years to serve, the total time of the bunch, col lectively, aggregating just thirty years of service. Convict hire is computed at $30 per month or $300 per year, and thus it can easily be figured that Sum ter's financial loss in the escape of eighteen convicts amounts in round sum to $10,800. And the loss is a total one, as there is no “insurance” on tho escaping zebras who are still far, far vay. 1 Notice to Our Customers We are pleased to announce that Foloy’s Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trouble Is not affected by the National Pure Food and Drug Law as it edntains no opiates or other harm fill drugs, and we recommend it » safe remedy for children and adults.

WEAK STOMACH CAUSES SICKNESS Different Symptons That Result From Indigestion. How to Cure by Strengthening Stomach. If you have ever suffered with a weak stomach you must realize that the digestive system is to the body what the foundation is to the house— the base of support and strength. Whatever hurts your stomach or lessens Its power, hurts all other parts of the body and impairs their powers. If the stomach is weak and distressed one organ alter another will be in volved until the heart, kidneys and liver are all distressed. Get the stomach right and health will naturally come io the other or/ gans. This explains why a good many people who have doctored for years for diseases of the heart, kidneys or liver, have at last been cured by Mi-o-na stomach tablets. They found to their astonishment and happiness that, when the woak stomach was strenth- enotl, their health returned, the heart became regular, the torpid liver active and the kidneys healtliy. Do not think wo claim Mi-o-na is a “cure-all.” It Is not. It is a specific for all distresses of the stomach and when it strengthens • the stomach and cures indigestion,you will soon be well all over without further medicine. Mi-o-na is sold only in 5(k* boxes, never In bulk. It is sold under an ab solute guarantee by Dodson's Drug Store to refund money unless it cures. Yesterday afternoon's edition of the Evening News brought the announce ment that with it that paper suspended publication. The first issue appeared on Washing ton’s birthday. It was conducted by Mr. H. P. Trimble.formerly of Fernan- dina, Fla. Mr. Trimble was an old newspaper man. having been connected with sev eral papers prior to coming to Ameri cas. He is an estimable gentlemen and made many friends here. Lack of adequate local patronage is givon as reason, for suspension of the paper. This is the eighth paper that has been started in Americas in the past twelve years. Their lives have been short, as a rule extending from one to- three months. It is generally recognized among ex perienced newspaper men who have ex amined the field closely that a city of the size of Americas cari support but one daily newspaper. 5100.00 REWARD.

THROAT TICKLED WITH A RAZZER While Teeth Were Jostled Somewhat As Well. .Vilen Lumpkin, a black sheep of usual lamblike proclivities, looked like he had butted into a slaughter house when the police found him yesterday. Another ram of sable hue had collided head on with Latnpkin. hutting out u handful of teeth and at the same time cuttiug liis initials with a razor upon Lainpkin's classic brow. The raz* orial carving was handsomely execut ed, reflecting the handiwork of the true artist. Lampkin is in the round house for repairs while the other coon printing in front of the cops.

How to Remain Young. To continue young in health and strength, do as Mrs. N. F. Rowan, Mc Donough, (la., did. She says: “Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured me of chronic liver and stomach trouble, complicated with such an unhealthy condition of the blood that my skin turned red as flannel. I am now practi cally 20 years younger than before I took Electric Bitters. I can now do all my work with ease and assist in my husband's store.” Guaranteed Eldridgo Drug Co. Price .10c. By royal decree of the powers that be, The Clansman is given the “twenty three.” In spirit true, the order "sklddoo” was rushed right through by the Ministers two, who “viewed with alarm” fills theatrical charm fraught with danger and possible harm and no balm. Boiled down to two lines, The Clans* man sidesteps Americus. Not that The Clansman desired give us the skip, but because the city council so orders. And whatever the solons here decree just bet your boots its going to be. This surprise was sprung last night when Rev. R. L. Bivins, and Rev. J. P. Wardlaw, representing other ministers as well as themselves, presented to the city council a protest against tho pre sentation of The Clansman hereon 30th Inst, and urging reasons thereior. These, in brief, were that recent tragic occurrences in Americus would render the production of such a play here at this time a source of more or less danger from a racial standpoint. These views were heartity endorsed by the colored ministers of the city, and other colored citizens. In compliance with this request council ordered that the presentation of the play here be prohibited. VICE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY MAGNOLIA DELL AGAIN INFESTED Negro Skaters Take Possession of Pavilion. Miss Cootie with her skates and a score of cigarette-puffing loafers to watch her graceful (?) movements now hus entire possession of the pavilion at Magnolia Dell and enjoys a monopo ly of the park as well, the presence of this bunch excluding white people who would enjoy an afternoon outing there. The banks of Muckalee near by are likewise crowded day and night with negro fishermen and women of the low er class, who seem to have taken over the Dell entirely. Heretofore at this season a policeman has done duty at Magnolia Dell on Sunday afternoon, thus giving to citizens and little chil dren one afternoon of the seven for re creation there. And it ought to be done age in. with today as a good time to make a start. A severe cold that may develop into pneumonia over niuht, can be cared liiiekly by taking Foley's Hobey and Tar. It will cure the most obstinate racking cough and strengthen your lungs. The genuine is in a yellow pac kage. F. M. McLaughlin A Co. Board of Trade Will.Elect Both Mon day Night.
