GA„ NOV. 1. 1907, JAIL THE OFFENDERS. Two great newspapers have ceased seating around the bush and have sounded the real remedy for financial juggling which is responsible for the recent conditions. The North American says: “For a year the North American stood alone among the leading news papers of America in declaring that the responsibility for every symptom of financial stringency and depression rested squarely upon a small group of criminals, whose proper place was and is, behind the bars of a prison.” What a magnificent object lesson to prospective “high financiers” to see the leading apostles of the cult be hind prison bars. Fines and condem natory resolutions are like throwing tufts of grass. The certainty of a long residence behind iron bars is worth ten million fines. Thd men who bring disaster to hundreds and -iiousands of innocent people should be sent to the penitentiary instead of being allowed to continue their nefar ious practices in new fields. 'The New York World says: “This sentiment carries its lesson to Gover nor Hughes quite as much as to Presl- * dent Roosevelt. Must honest business forever be at the mercy of a handful -of financial bandits who ought to be . in jail, and some of whom undoubted ly would be in jail if public ofiiclals •charged with the enforcement of the Jaw really enforced it? "Must the United States Treasury, Ythe New York Clearing House and ' Mr. Morgan be prepared to adopt em ergency measures for the restoration of .public confidence whenever the -railroad swindles of a Harrlman have alarmed the country, or a Ryan has > been caught looting a traction sys tem, or creatures like Heinze and Morse are found to have been using the money of their depositors to fln- -ance their own gambling adventures?” "These are plain words but they will have the endorsement of three-fourths of the people of the United States. Events have followed each other thick And fast in the last few years and •exposures have been followed by ex posure, and still the end is not yet. Similar views to those of the two papers named are taken by a London paper which says: “President Roosevelt Is Indeed stir ring up a dangerous dust in his clean ing of the financial house of the Uni ted States. The pity is.that in his zest for reform and purity in finan cial methods the few responsible for the foulness in various directions can not be given a place inside thfe four walls of a Jail. In the interest of the people, whose laws they have defied and whose ruin they have threatened: Jail the offen- ■ders. i In their protest over the provisions of the Dick bill, the Savannah Voluu- eer Guards have pulled up short \ gainst the proposition that they must zither conform to the requirements of the national law or disband. No . military organization can exist with out governmental or state sanction. It eeemi probable that the Guards will make an effort to meet the law rather than go to pieces after a hun dred years of honorable history. Within twenty-four hours after Bryan reached New York for his tour of speech making In the Empire state things began to happen in a very .alarming style. Whether thfe pres ence of Bryan had anything to do with the matter, or whether It was the tong absence of the Nebraskan which made such conditions possible, :* an unanswerable question. Druggists and doctors are engaged m a wordy war at Augusta over the tendency of the former to prescribe over the counter for various ailments. 3o far {he druggists are "standing pat” and refusing to be dictated to by the doctors. The consuming pub lic is naturally Inclined to want to ■are doctors’ fees and their sympa thies are probably with the druggists. WEDDING WAS ONE OF MUCH BEAUTY Uniting Miss Simmons am Mr, Statham. One of the prettiest weddings ever witnessed in Americus was that of Wednesday, when a great concourse of friends gathered at the handsome home of Mrs. Lucy Hollis Simmons, on Felder street, to witness the mar riage of her daughter, Susanne, to Mr. Benjamin Statham. The entire lower floor was thrown together and beautifully decorated. Tali ferns and stately palms filled nooks and corners, and cut flowers were everywhere. At the appointed hour, the beautt ful strains of Mendelsohn's wedding march were heard played by Mrs. Henry Johnson, with Miss Florence Niles accompanying her on the vio lin. First to enter were the garland bearers. Misses Fannie Mae Williford, Elizabeth Hollis, Claire Hollis and Floyd Fort. Each was exquisitely dressed in white marquirette, and bore garlands of great pink roses, with which they formed an aisle for the bridal party. Mr. Statham entered with his best man, Mr. John Council and stood be fore the altar of palms and ferns, soft ly lighted with cathedral candelabras. The bride never looked more regal than when she entered learning upon the arm of her brother. Col. Howell Simmons, and met the groom at the altar. She was gowned in a beautiful crea tion of net over chiffon and taffeta, made empire, with princess lines. The corsage and panels were of rare prin cess lace, and her tulle veil was caught upon her dark hair with lllies- of-the-valley. She carried an armful of white roses and lilies. Rev. Allen Fort, of Dublin, cousin of the bride, received the vows of the handsome couple, while "The Angel's Serenade” was softly played. A sumptous salad course was served by-Misses Cloe and Mary Littlejohn, Constance Holt, Gertrude Jossey and Fay Williams. Mrs. James Taylor presided over the coffee table. Misses Mary Fort and Sarah Cobb served at the bride's table. Here the decorations were espec ially beautiful. Great bowls of white crysanthemumg stood on the mantel and sideboard. On the bride's table the center piece was real lace, witk tall vases of white crysanthemums, and the candelabras were shaded with white. Seated at the table besides the bride and groom were: Misses Claire Hol lis, Flowl Fort, Elizabeth Hollis, Fan nie Mae Williford and Florence Niles. Messrs. John Council, Clift Clay, Jeff Taylor, W. A. Slaton, Charles Burke. Mrs. Clarence Niles and Miss Emma Mae Borum presided at the punch bowk ■ Noticeable among the many beau tiful costumes was that worn by Mrs. Earl Murphy, a lovely creation of black iace with a touch of blue. The bride’s mother wore black crepe de chine with real lace. WHO USES HYOMEI? The Best People In Americus, Say Dodson's Drag Store, Guaranteed In Catarrhal Troubles. No other remedy or treatment for catarrh has ever been as popular or made so many remarkable cures in Americus as Hyomei. The best people attest its curative virtues says Dodson's Drug Store, who are the local agents. The fair way in which Hyomei was sold, to refund the money unless it gave satisfaction, was the best proof when it was introduced that it possessed unusual curative powers. Dodson's Drug Store took ail the risk of the treatment giving sat isfaction, and left It to the purchasers to be the judge. Later, when Hyomei was used and recommended by our well-known phy sicians and business men and their wives as a treatment that absolutely cured catarrh, no matter how serious or long standing, the sales rapidly grew and today there Is no other rem edy In Dodson's Drug Store stock that has such a large and staple sale. The first breath of Hyomei's heal ing air kills all catarrhal poison. Try Hyomei today on Dodson's Drug Stores offerjo refund the money If the treatment does not give you sat isfaction. 29-31-5 For the strong—that they may keep their strength.
