PERRY IS STILL DOING VERY WELL I Following His Operation 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. DENATURED ALCO HOL RULES Those That Go Will Be in Ef fect From Noav On.

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.

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.
