DELICATE OPERATION
BY AMERICUS DOCTORS
Saves Life of Smithville
Man.
On Monday Mr. E. S. Adams left
the Americus hospital for his home In
Smithville. For live weeks Mr. Adams
has been in the hospital. He was
brought there In a desperately criti
cal condition, a condition that threat
ened death within a few hours and
required heroic measures. He left
the hospital a thoroughly well man,
demonstrating the skill of the phy
sicians of Americus in the line of
modern surgery.
Mr. Adams was stricken down with
a strangulation of the bowels. The
small intestine had become looped
and glued together so as to abso
lutely close it up, there being sev
eral obstructions through the pecu
liar manner in which It had become
twisled.

AMERICUS. GA., OCT. 25 1907.
IF M AR SHOULD COME.
In the event of a war with Japan
• a number of Georgia cities would be
exposed to more or less danger, ow
ing to their position along or near
the sea coast.
Among the cities which might be
mentioned in this connection are At
lanta and Macon, though the danger
Is more threatening to the latter Just
at present.
Many people will doubtless wonder
how these two cities, apparently
far inland, are in such dangerous
condition. But a little study will turn
bn the light. In the case of Macon
the Ocmulgee river Is the danger.
Already a line of steamers is plying
to Brunswick, while great efforts are
being made to have the channel deep-
v ened.
-It would be a genuine surprise if
the people of Macon should awaken
some fine morning to the boom of
.'guns from a fleet of warships which
Japan had run up the river during
■ ' the night. The Lanier monument
and other historic points might be
laid waste before the naval reserves
' could be called out.
■ While Atlanta has visions of _
<n:tmal to the sea, her present efforts
- are "towards the acquiring of a port
‘ rate the same as Savannah has. This
' too, might prove dangerous, for the
~ Japanese might not be able to tell the
< difference between a port rate and a
real port and might insist that the
• Central of Georgia give their fleet
rate but little in excess of the cost
• of landing at Savanah.
"But to turn to the bright side of
the picture. If any of the disasters
named do overtake Atlanta and Ma
con, the people of those cities can
remember that the gates of Americus
are wide open, where neither mighty
rivers connecting direct with the
Bea, nor an elusive port rate can give
the Japanese an opening. Then we
are near the home of Richard Pear
son Hobson, which would be an addi
tional protection.
-An case of an invasion AmerlcuB
■would be safe, but the possible fate
of two sister cities is appalling to
contemplate.
When brought to Anerleui it u>as
seen tl at it was a case requ'ring
speedy surgical trealment if Mr.
Adams life was to be saved. Doctors
Prather, Cato and Chambliss took hold
of the case immediately. On an in
cision being made it was found that
gangrene had set n over a space
of six irches of/ths small intestine.
This gangrenous lection was ct t
off, requiring the removal of about
eight irches of the bowel, a better,
of nickle was inserted, the healthy
ends straightened out and brought
together and sewed over the button,
and the patient put to bed nbou^ as
near death as men generally get with
out crossing the river.
So well had the delicate operation
been performed that there were no
set backs. Within a fortnight the
wound was healed. Strength gradual
ly returned and on Monday Mr.
Adams was discharged In fine condi
tion.

WEDDING ON SUNDAY
AT FRIENDSHIP
Marriage of Miss Dupree
and Mr. Harvey.
The weddjpg of Mr. Lasco Harvey
and Miss Annie Belle Dupree, at the
home of the bride’s parents near
Friendship, on Sunday afternoon, was
very pretty social event that was
Witnessed by several of the friends of
contracting parties from Americus
and a large number representing
other sections of Sumter county. In
all, probably a hundred guests were
gathered to witness the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. Mr.
McMIchael.
Tho bride's home was artistically
decorated in green and white. Miss
Maggie Buchanan, shortly before the
entrance of the bridal party into the
parlor, sang “Always,” and then, ns
the bride and groom came from across
tho hall, played Menhcissohn’s wed
ding march. The attendants were Mr.
William Dupreo and Miss Mary L.
Harvey, Mr. Albert Dupree and Miss
Mable Rooks. Tho bride wore a
brown tailor made suit, with hat
to match.
Immediately after the ceremony tho
bridal couple left for the homo of
tiie groom's parents near Shiloh,
where a wedding supper was served.
Nine couples sat down to such a
feast as only old Sumter can furnish
and a most enjoyable evening was
passed.
Numerous presents were received,
of silver, china, cut glass, etc., at
testing the affection and esteem in
which the bridal couple ate held by
their numerous friends. They will
make their home at Shiloh.
Suggestion That Sign Be
Placed Near Railroad,
"I went out to the Third District
Agricultural College this morning,”
said Mr. Fred Arthur yesterday,
"and I must say that I was delighted
with the appearance of the buildings,
the situation and the indications that
we are to have the model college of
the State.
“The buildings appear to be com
pleted, that is, thetmain college build
ing and the one dormitory. I under
stand that another dormitory will
be erected in a year or two to meet
the demands on the accommodations.
The buildings certainly show up well,
no matter from what point you view
them. They make an especially fine
showing from the railroad.
'It was not possible to enter the
buildings, but from what could be
seen of the Interior it is in keeping
with the exterior, plain, substantial
and thoroughly suited for the pur
poses for which the buildings are to
be used.
'The rubbish is not yet cleared
away from around the buildings.
When that Is gone the appearance
will be considerably Improved.
Two Good Suggestions
AMERICUS TO SEND A
DELEGATION TO MACON

GO TO LIVE
"The banks are all right,” says
' the New York Comptroller. It to be
-fervently hoped that he speaks the
truth.
IN FLORIDA
Miss Lucille Chappell and Mr.
Thomas Chappell leave today for
Jacksonville, Fla., where they will
make their home in the future. They
carry with them tho best wishes of a
host of Americus friends.
“There are two suggestions that I
wish to make in the interest of the
institution, In which we all feel
pardonable pride. They are:
‘First. Have a large sign put
down'by the railroad, wherever the
depot is to be located, bearing the
Inscription in aq big letters as It can
stand: ‘Third District Agricultural
College.’ This will be a fine adver
tisement for the college. Standing
where It does, where every day pas
senger on tho Seaboard can see it
prominently before him, there should
be such a sign to let him know what
tho place It.
"Second. Shade trees should bo
put out at once. This should be done
this fall, and before It is too late.
Superintendent Collum might take
cognizance of this matter, if he is in
position to do so. An avenue of trees
leading dow nt otbe railroad station
would be a very attractive feature.
Then there should certainly be soma
In the vicinity of the buildings to
take off the aspect of bareness that
now surrounds It. With the grounds
under cultivation, and shade trees
growing, there will be the most at
tractive agricultural college, as well
as the best located, m Georgia.”
Americus Masonic circles are in
terested in the annual conclave of
the Grand Lodge of Georgia in Ma
con next Tuesday, when two thous
and Masons will assemble. Both Am
ericus Lodge No. 13 and M. B. Coun
cil Lodge No. 95, wii be strongly rep
resented. The city auditorium has
been secured for the convention,
the Masonic temple is by far too
small to accommodate the members.
The auditorium will seat at least
2,000, while the capacity of the Ma
sonic temple Is less than one thous
and. Next Monday a meeting of the
public property committee of the
grand lodge will be held In Macon to
determine upon what should be done
In regard to a new temple. It will
probably be decided to remodel the
Macon building. It is estimated that
this can be done for a cost of not
over 330,000. Tho grand lodge Is re
ported by Grand Master Meyerhnrdt
ns having 330,000 In the treasury at
present
If you want to see a man's worst
side all that is necessary Is t oget the
better of him.

'CHICAGO. ILL., October 23-
(Special)—The next move In the fight
between Fish and Harriman f or , he
control of the Illinois Central will
probably be In the renewal of the
struggle for proxies. Each side may
buy stock In the open market unm
Nov. 30, when the books will be clos
ed finally. Mr. Fish claims a clear
majority of 30.000 to 50,000 votes
Both sides claim a victory i n ih„
postponment. President Harriman
gives three reasons for his faith:
First—The Harriman board re
mains in power.
-Second—The Harriman faction now
knows where the Fish proxies lie
Third—The contest developed ’ a
sufficient number of proxy errors to
make it certain that it would take
weeks In court to determine how
thousands of the Fish proxies should
be voted.
Although none of those directly i n .
terested would give specific figures
it was understood that the total num
ber of votes represented was not far
from 460,000. Of this amount Mr
Fish, according to excellent authori
ty, controlled about 250,000 and Mr
Harriman 210,000. There were not
sufficient votes in the remaining let-
ters upon which the committee still
had to pass to overcome this lead of
Mr. Fish, and it was evident that Mr.
Harriman was beaten unless he could
bring Into the contest some portion
of the 286,731 shares against which
Judge Ball issued the injunction.

It Is the healing oils and balsams
of Hyomel which medicates the air
you breathe, reaching the most re

lungs, killing all catarrhal germs,
and restoring health to the mucous

In using Hyomel you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives a cura

seen so many cures, even of the worst
cases of catarrh, with offensive
