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. Required Immediate Action 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.

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 To Attend the 6rand Lodge Meeting. 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. I. G. CONTESTANTS. MAY BUY TO NOV. 3Q, Fish Probably40.000Ahead In Count. '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.
