Appendicitis.
For
AUGUST BALES IN AMERICUS
Air. W. A. Perry, residing near Ameri
cus and who was operated upon for
appendicitis a day or two ago was
getting on very well yesterday and
will recover from the trying ordeal.
The operation was skillfully perform
ed by Dr. Westmoreland of Atlanta;
Dr. Logan and Dr. Jordan.
Will Hare has followed his un
fortunate wife to the grave, both dy
ing within a brief period, victims. It
is said, of the terrible morphine habit.
The husband lingered miserably for
two or three days and was burled yes
terday morning in Atlanta.
Both these unfortunates were form-
er residents of Americus. •
AVlth their supply of “dope" sud
denly cut off by virtue of the bill
recently passed by the legislature,
these unfortunates died miserably, as
will many others of their kind.
While Americus has comparatively
few people who exist upon narcotics
they are here, nevertheless, and al
ready there is the most acute suffer
ing among them. Druggists listen to
tearful entreaties from some of these
i they beg for the drugs.
Unquestionably there are numbers
of persons throughout the Stat? who
are addicted to the habit of taking
narcotic drugs.
To dejfrlve them suddenly of these
drugs means insanity or death, so
fierce te the craving that comes upon
them. The Legislature failed to make
any provisions for caring for these un
fortunate persons.
In the case of those who are well
to do, It makes no difference for
they will be easily able to procure the
drugs to which their systems have be
come accustomed.
But with the poorer classes, those
who have contracted these habits and
have no money with which to employ
a physician or to procure a prescrip
tion, the situation is a serious one. It
Is expected that deaths will follow
from similar cause.

Americus enters upon the n?w cot
ton season of 1907 1908 with a total
of 1680 "August bales" to her credit,
this number representing the receipts
of new cotton up to last night Yes
terday’s receipts were 630 bales wa
gon cotton, and the grand total te
1580.
A total of 1580 bales at this date In
considered very good indeed.
On account of tbe pate planting, and
general lateness of the crop, it was
though that August receipts would be
light this season, but weather condi
tions recently forced the bolls to ma
turity and the cotton movement has
been greater than expected.
Receipts at this time are well* In
excess of warehouse receipts here at
this date last year—908 bales then
against 1580 balsa now. “
Then there is soma difference In
On September 1st, last year the mar
ket opened at 9 cents, and only fin'
est grades brought that fancy figure.
All of the cotton marketed this sea
son has sold at 13 to 13 1-2 cents, in
Americus/ a difference of about f22
per bale over last year’s figures.
Surely with this difference in price,
and a crop fully as good as last sea
son's there should be prosperity.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 31.—
The denatured alcohol regulations,
which were made necessary by the
amendatory act passed by the last
Congress, will come into effect to
morrow. The old regulations were
found to be unneessarily stringent at
some points and the new regulations
will liberalize materially the Gov
ernment’s method of handling tbe de
natured alcohol Industry.
Under the new regulations, In addi
tion to denaturing warehouses on dis
tillery premises, central denaturing
warehouses may be constructed at
such points as business Interests may
require, and alcohol may be transfer
red from denaturing warehouses by
means of tanka or tank cars to con
sumers.
Manufacturers using completely de-
nuated alcohol are not required to
swear to an application tor permit.
One of the most Important features
of the new regulations te that relat
ing to thd construction and operation
of Industrial or farm distilleries, which
may produce alcohol from anything
that contains fermentable matter. In
dustrial distilleries are divided into
two classes. In the first class are
placed distilleries of a surveyed capa
city of fifty proof gallons. Distiller
ies of the second class are those that
produce more than fifty gallons ami
less than one hundred gallons of dis
tilled spirits .dally.
Manufacture using specially dena
tured alcohol are under the new regu
lations relieved from keeping a re
cord of the goods In tbe manufacture
of which denatured alcohol 1s used.
For 1903, 156 bales; for 1904, 3,175 tBrrlag0
bales; for 1905, 3,200 bales; tor 1906, 1 bill and the $20 flower bill about which
