on the outskirts of the village, says of
Doan's Kidney Pills, "They are all
right and I can see now why you are
willing to give out samples. You
know they do the work and are not
afraid to put them on their merits. My
back had been hurting me for a cobple
of years past. I thought I had rheu
matism and was rubbing it with lini
ments and taking medicines prescrib
ed by doctors without benefit until I
was utterly disheartened. It did not
make any difference what I did
had that same old pain. Some one
spoke to me about Doan's Kidney Pills,
1 had lost faith in medicines of any
kind, but I went to J. C. Dodson’s d.Mig
store in a habitual Bort of way and
got a box and tried them. I had not
used them three days before the
rheumatism left me. I kept on taking
them until I had used up two boxes
because I could not believe I was
cured. 1 have not had the rheumatism
or the backache as you call It since
then. They are certainly the real
thing for backache.”

Americus will remember Thanksgiv
ing Day from a weather standpoint
rather than any other for, while the
turkey was the crowning centerpiece
of the family circle, the torrential
rain which fell the greater part of
the day precluded other pleasures,
The mornng opened gloomily and
by noon a drizzling rain began fail
ing, gathering force during the day.
Despite the weather, the church
services were well attended.
Rev. J. L. Irvin preached a un(on
Thanksgiving sermon at the Presby
terian, while at Calvary a specially
prepared program was well render
ed. The church was very prettily
decorated In fruits of every kind and
made most attractive.
Rev, J. B. Lawrence conducted the
service there, and yesterday loaded
the contributions of fruit upon a wa
gon and distributed them Judiciously
among the poor of the city.
Hundreds of hunters, as usual,
swarmed the woods and fields, but
the rain drove them back and saved
Bob White from slaughter.
Many had planned to dine at the
bazar and enjoy the afternoon and
evening there but the steady down
pour rendered this Impossible, and
therefore, proved detrimental to the

A tickling cough, from any cause,
is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's
Cough Cure. And It Is so thoroughly
harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop
tells mothers everywhere to give It
without hesitation, even to very
young babies. The wholesome green
leaves and tender stems of a lung-
healing mountainous shrub, furnish
tHe curative properties to Dr. Shoop's
Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and
heals the sore and sensative bron
chial membranes. No opium,
chloroform, nothing harsh used to
Injure or suppress. Simply a resin
ous plant extract, that helps to heal
aching lungs. The Spaniards call
this shrub which the Doctor uses
"The Sacred Herb.” Always demand
Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure.

Ladies Made Success of
Occasion.
The annual bazar held under aus
pices of the Ladles’ Auxiliary to the
Hospital Association closed - Friday
and the ladles having the affair
In charge feel satisfied with results,
despite the Inclement weather of the
past two days, which cut receipts
considerably.
The occasion was both a social
and financial success, and Americus
enjoyed- it to the fullest extent.
It will be several days yet before
the accounts can be balanced and
the exact status ascertained, but It is
quite certain that the cosh balance
will run well 'Into the hundreds.
The attendance last night was
very good, and several pleasing en
tertainment* added interest to the oc
casion.
Yesterday the cotton buyers and
warehousemen, with their accustom
ed generosity, contributed a bale of
cotton to the bazar. The bale was
auctioned off last night and brought
a price well over spot quotations.
AH articles unsold were thus dis
posed of.
Like the delightful events of like
kind preceding, the bazar of 1907
will long be remembered pleasantly
by the hundreds who enjoyed It this
week.

Exports Exceeded Imports
By $444,000,000.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec.
(Special)—"The farmer has receiv
ed njuch for which to be thankful,”
says James Wilson, Secretary of Ag
riculture, In his annual report for thq
fiscal year ending June 30 last, which
was made public Friday. “Dur
ing the first half of the year he was
threatened with general crop failure
throughout the length and breadth
of the country East of the Rocky
Mountains.
"At the end of the harvest the far
mer has provided the country with
commodities that are equal-to th'e
average of recent years In quantity
and vastly more than are needed for
national consumption. His labor and
his knowledge have been rewarded
with products the sum of whose val-
ure Is 17,412,000.”
Total Vnluc of Products.
Thd roport goes on:
The value of the total form produc
tions in 1907 exceed that of 1900,
which was far above that of any pro-
ceding year. The total value- for
1907 Is $7,412,000,000, an amount 10
per cent greater than the total for
1900, 17 per cent, greater than 'that
of 1905, 20 per cent above that of
1904, 25 per cent In excess of that of
1903, and 67 per cent, greater than
the total value for 1899.
“During tho fiscal year 1907 the
exports of farm products exceeded
tho imports by $440,000,000, a hat
e that has been exceeded only
four times—in 1898, 1899, 1901, and
1902.
“Our foreign credit Is sustained
mainly by our farmers. For eighteen
years, beginning with 1890, the far
mers have not failed to secure a fav
orable balance, the lowest being that
of 1895—$193,000,000; and the grand
aggregate of the balance of trado in
farm products for the eighteen years
Is $6,600,000,000.
Offsets Adverse Balances.
“Thus a great stream of wealth has
been sent from farms to foreign coun
tries to offset the adverse balance of
trade In commodities other than ag
ricultural, to pay the ocean freight
costs on imports conveyed In foreign-
owned ships, and to pay the lnferest,
dividends, and principal on invest
ments In the United States by for
eigners. It is the farmer who has
sent credit to expatriated Americans;
it is he who has provided the immi
grant with millions to send every
year to the loved ones in the old
countries, and if there Is still any
credit to dispose of, the farmer has
provided the American traveler in
foreign countries with his pocket
money."
STATE AND FEDERAL
RAILROAD RIGHTS
When the voters of Americus in
August last authorized an issue of
$75,000 of bonds for street paving
and the erection of another public
school building the present financial
stringency, was of course, not fore
seen even by pessimistic ones.
Times were good then, and no diffi
culty In selling the entire Issue of
city bonds was apprehended.
But with tho prevailing “tightness"
of money tho country over, the city
authorities wisely withheld the bonds,
preferring to await a more propitious
time of putting them on the market.
And that time, it is now believed,
will ho early in the new year. Bv
that time, Mayor Hawkins thinks,
financial conditions will have ad
justed themselves to the point where
municipal bonds will be sought bv
many as an investment.
By that time, too, the great electric
plant hero will ho completed, the elec
tric street railway will bo in opera
tion, and the outlook generallv will .
ho much more propitious.
Tho bonds, Mayor Hawkins says,
can ho Issued at any time within
tho discretion of the city council
within a reasonable period from the
date of the election authorizing such
issue, and only financial conditons
has delayed matters thus far.
Th(j, present bonded Indebtedness of
the city Is something more than
$120,000, and It Is quite probable that
some of the bonds now outstanding
will be liquidated ere the new Issue
of $75,000 Is put on tho market [
Of this amount, $40,000 was to be
expended upon street paving, $25,-
000 for another public school build
ing. while $10,000 was tho city’s por
tion towards tho agricultural school.

its injunction against enforcing the
State law regulating commodity rates,

tho attorney general Into tho custody
