Americus, Oa. .1 merle us Ga- Not. 22, 1907. A Boston pastry cook is bald to have baked 70 miles of pies during the forty years she has been in service. That sounds like a small boy's dream. To secure money to build an air ship a counterfeiter in the mountains of New York state says he was led to become a criminal. Another hot air story. Up in New Brunswick the Recorder has sent a monkey to Jail for thirty days for getting drunk. Whiskey seems to make a monkey out of a man and a man out of a monkey. Atlanta's population has made an other jump forward, as indicated by the new city directory. It won't be long before Macon will be annexed as a suburb If the swelling contin ues. Columbus, Ga., has already retired $8«,n00 of the clearing house certlfl- cates issued, this being one-fourth of the entire amount This is certainly an encouraging sign for South Geor gia. the government and which are more valuable than other money. The great trouble has been that deposi tors were fearful of the banks and it j , „ of j events take some’ weeks for canfi- 1 j dence to l« resorted to the extent' f that all money formerly on deposit * would be again with the banks. With ! the sale of the bond3, hanks will be j provided with a basis of circulation, and can Issue bauk notes nearly up to the face value of the bonds. The money obtained by the Government in both transactions will be distribu ted among banks for the relief ol congestion. Coupled with the news of the pro posed issues' is the statement that the banks of the South and West are to be favored with the deposits to aid in moving the cotton and wheat crops. " Heretofore, relief—or rather alleg ed relief—lias been extended through New York banks. It would be n great calamity if any part of the proceeds were to be deposited with New York banks. That would mean a locking up of the money as the banks there have done against all other sections, avhich is the very thing sought to be remedied on the part of the Individual depusltors. New York is a great money center—far itself. The real relief for the money situa tion is In sending abroad cotton and wheat and bringing back gold in exchange. The course of the New York banks in tying up money and making It more difficult to sell these products stands squarely in the way of the relief named. Wall street started the panic and does all In Its power to prevent the South and West from breaking It. The New York money mart Is sowing to the wind. For the strong—that they may keep their strength. For the weak—that they may regain their strength. For the young that they may grow in strength.

Panama Is the old maid's paradise. A woman who has just returned from there says that there are scores of lonely bachelors longing for a wife.

The many friends of Judge Emory Speer, of the United States Circuit Court, will be pleased that he has returned from a vacation much Im proved In health. His arduous work over the circuit had undermined his strength and made a rest absolutely necessary. It Is not difficult to find the causes for the popularity of Judge Speer among the lawyers and the public at large. In his court he adheres firmly to the law and rules with decorum and fairness. As a man he is affable and optlmta tic. and numbers among his best friends many who are neither law yers nor those with whom he comes in contact in a professional way. This section of Georgia la fortunate in having had such a distinguished Jurist and diplomat to preside over Its Federal Court for the past quar ter century. It is to be hoped that his restoration to complete health will be a permanent one. SILVER SERVICE TOR RETIRING PASTOR Rev. J. P. Wardlaw Sur prised by Congregation. Alabama haa followed the lead of Georgia In enacting statutory prohl hltlon. This leaves a mighty largo white spot on the map for the South, and with Florida probably taking the same step soon, this area will be still further enlarged. The term "The Solid South” will take on a new sig nificance.

An Interview with a man named Winter Is among the hunch, the man claiming to be an officer of an organization of retail merchants which does not even exist. As already pointed out In these cob amus, the parcels post scheme Is for the benefit of the big centers to the detriment of the smaller towns and cltlea. Merchants shouldr warn their congressmen against the Iniquities of the measure. As well pointed out by the Atlanta Constitution, distances between Geor gia and the East are increasing rath er than decreasing.

Company, This company has just declared a dividend of 20 per cent with a bonus of 10 per cent more. The year has shown the largest profits In , the history of . the combination.^ It will Ije repalled that' about a year ago the trusr raised the price of thread at retail from S to 6 cents, alleging that the high price of sea Island cot ton justified the step. Raw cotton had advanced about one-twentieth of a cent, but even this did not affect the manufacturers to any extent, as they had old stocks to run on. By "gouging” the extra cent from the purchasers of thread, the earqlngB of the company were made the best In the hlBtory of the Coats company. -The thread trust, "be lay low," but when It comes to scooping In the coin It has nearly all the big trusts heat to a finish. Rev. J. p. Wardlaw, pastor of the First Methodist churoh, was treated to a genuine surprise at the close of the prayer meeting service Wednesday night, when he was presented with a handsome fiat silver service by mem bers of’his congregation. The pres entation speech was made by Mr J. R. Culpepper, of the Board of Stewards. The night was the last prayer meeting service which Dr. Wardlaw will attend as pastor of the church his four yeaft having expired. Con ference meets next week and his connection with the Americus church will be severed, though with extreme reluctance by the congregation. In presenting the sliver service last night, Mr. Culpepper said, In part: "Fate decrees that farewell words must be spoken and faithfuls loyal friends and co-laborers must separate and continue life’s arduous duties In different fields. ‘Tonight as we draw so near to the closing hours of the four years of faithful labor of our beloved pas tor, the opportunity Is presented to tender to him and bis devoted wife some tangible expression of our high appreciation of their exalted moral and spiritual worth and of their effective work in our midst It falls to my lot as a pleasant duty to present to you this beautiful silver service which I beg you will accept as a slight token of our esteem, and ever In future years when your eyes shall look upon this gift, may It awa ken sweet memories of Americus and her people. And when you are la boring In other fields may It recall this I ait prayer meeting." Dr. Wardlaw was much affected by the presentation and replied feelingly thanking the congregation for the girt and assuring them that It would he ever cherished ns a priceless pos session.

A number of audets stood at salute, their hands at their cap vis- ors, until the colors of the lost canse passed.
