Americus "dopers’' view with alarm
the fact that the bill passed by the
legislature prohibiting the sale of nar
cotics Is already effective, thus cut

It mere difficult to get the drugs here

The dopers thought the new law,
like the booze killing, was not effec

four months to steam up.
But they are up against It afready,
with a Jolt
Under the law recently enacted by
the legislature, druggists are prohibit
ed from selling morphine, opium, or
dope of any character except upon the
prescription of a reputable physician
and a prescription can only be used
once.
This will make it quite expensive as
well as troublesome to get the stuff
for the dopers.
PRICE IS GOOD AND
BALES ARE COMING
Staple is Bringing Price and the
Farmers are Glad.
Slipping a little wad of $600 into
his pocket Cliff Clay went back to
Cobb yesterday to arrange for other
similar “wads.’5’ This amount repre
sented the sale of nine bales of cot
ton, the first of his big crop, which
netted him thirteen cents all round.
Mr. Clay’s crop Is in fine condition,
and If the weather remains clear he
will send in fifty or seventy-five bales
this week alone. His plantation
one of the best In Georgia, and under
his excellent management yields boun
tlful crops. Mr. Clay expects to mar
ket between four hundred and five
hundred bales this season.

cessful revival. Mr. Gilbert went up
yesterday and will remain through the
week. He was to have been assisted
by Rev. Mr. Long of Fort Valley, but

ACID IS DRIVING THE

is Being Given Due Consideration.
Amerlcus fishermen, able disciples
of Isaac Walton, are at the front with
a brand new theory to account for
the scarcity of fish ' In the many
streams of this section. Not one but
dozens of pole-wlelders, veterans all
hold to this new belief.
The acids used In the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers Is depleting
the streams of fish.
None but an experienced artist and
close student of nature could have
arrived at this conclusion, and
the average fisherman is a'philoso
pher, and little else, he must be
right.
People who have noticed the fish
were rapidly growing scarcer here
and harder to catch, attributed the
depletion In their number to the hor
des of black fishermen who sit and
sleep on the banks of Muckalee 365
days in each year.
The Muckalee catfish, like an oily
Georgia politician, la hard to hem up
in a corner and can dodge the colored
brother’s hook like a politician dod
ges the truth.
Both are slimy and hard to hold
when you think you’ve got him.
But the fish are disappearing from
the streams of Sumter and other
counties hereabout, and their disap
pearance cannot be charged to the
negro fisherman, or to the flshfry.
The subject was under discussion at
one of the Amerlcus warehouses yes
terday where twenty-nine citizens sat
waiting for something to turn up, and
the concensus of opinion among these
nature fakirs was that acid phosphate
was killing the fishes.
Acid Is used In enormous quantities
as a fertilizer and during the spring
and summer if, is washed from the
cotton fields down to the creeks and
rivers. Fish cannot live In waters
thus Infected, and they are leaving
here in vast numbers.
The subject is one for serious con
sideration, and should be referred to
the Agricultural Department for In
vestigatlon and report.

Amerlcus cotton buyers and ware
housemen are seriously considering
tho necessity of opening an indepen
dent telegraph office, or exchange, here
to" the end of supplying themselves
with the cotton market quotations, so
absolutely necessary Just now.
The cost would not be considerable,
while the service would be fuller and
more satisfactory than that heretofore
obtained hy wire through the regular
channels.
Some action upon this line may be
taken today.
With both telegraph offices here
not orily bottled up, but practically
nailed up, as the results of the great
strike, It behooves the cotton ware
housemen and buyers to secure ano
ther medium of Information for the
conduct of their business.

desired end.
