Tina., writes under date of Nov. 7,

“On the 7th day of February, 1908,
III live, 1 will be seventy-seven years
ol age. I enjoy the best of health,
thanks to Pernna, and have not had
a spell of slekncss since I began using
It five or six years ago.
“I consider It the grandest medicine
on earth, and whenever I feel a little
badly a few doses of Peruna put me right.
"I can do as much work as I could
forty years ago. I think all old people,
who feel the offects of age, should bene
fit their health by using Peruna.” \
III the Best Part of His Life.
Mr. j. B. Prince, R. R.2, Cattaraugus,
N. Y., writes: “I am not very well sat
isfied with the picture that I am sending
you, but when the reader ldoks at this
picture if he could only realize that the
original suffered for forty-live years, the
best of his life, until yonr kind advice
and prescription cured him, he would
know from whence these wrinkles came.
Next month I shall be sixty-six years
old.”
Nervous Prostration.
Mrs. Martha Avery, 28 Graham St.,
Leominster, Mass., writes:
“Four years ago I had nervdhs pros
tration. I employed several doctors.
One wonld say I had catarrh pf the
stomach and bowels, another nervous
ness and another enlargement of the
liver. My stomach was In a bad shape.
There was nothing which seemed to do
' me much good.
“I tried other remedies, but did not
gain any flesh until I commenced taking
your Pernna, which-bullt mo right up,
I have taken several bottles, but have
not taken any now for abontsix weeks.
**1 am seventy-three yeartold. I never'
expect to be entirely well or young
agsin, but 1 am thankful for what Pe-
rupa has done for me.”

Mr. Henry Merz, 1505 West Franklin
St., Evansville, Ind., writes: “When I
first wrote to youl had bronchial trouble
for four years, and had tried/ several
doctors, but they could do me no good.
I bad pain ahd rattling In the chest,
cough, expectoration, especially at
night.
H I took Pernna, and can now say that
I am entirely well.^ I feel ten years
yonnger slnco using Peruna. I recom
mend Pernna to all my friends, for
I was in bad condition.

In the circular letter sent out by
President Soule, of the College of Ag

fact that the present cotton crop here
will be an excellent one.
Amerlcus warehouses have received
already nearly 32,000 bales, brought
by wagon alone, while compress re
ceipts are large as well.
Up to this time the receipts at the
press aggregate probably 43,000 bales.
This fact in itself evidences a good
crop In this territory. Last season
the AmericuB press handled probably
50,000 bales. With 43,000 already re
ceived there this season, the total of
*hich Is to be operated In February the 1907-8 crop should ’ easily reach
60,000 bales.
Besides the 3,000 or more bales In
Amerlcus warehouses, probably *.
total of 10,000 bales is held in fife
smaller towns near Amerlcus, all'of
which will eventually come here.
A great deal of this cotton has
been sold long since and Is awaiting
shipment. Other big lots are strongly
held for higher prices. .
And present quotations will cause
some of it to come out.

CAPTAIN E. TAVLOR IS
DEAD AT HOME HERE
Aged Citlzeir Has Passed
Away.
Captain Eleazor Taylor, one of
Sumter's oldest and most highly es
teemed citizens, passed away, at 9:30
o'clock on Saturday morning at his
residence on Church street. Captain
Taylor had been 111 for some time,
and his death was not unexpected.
The passing of tl)ls aged citizen,
who long since, had reached the al
lotted three score and ten years
removes another of that exalted class
ot men representative of the chlval-
rle South.
As soldier and citizen. In war and
in peace, he was esteemed a man
of highest Integrity.
Although a native Alabamian, he
came to this section ot Georgia when
quite a young man and has. ever
since been identified with its growth
and development. Twenty-eight years
ago he .came to Amerlcus to reside,
and since has claimed citizenship.
For many years he engaged In ag
ricultural 1 pursuits, having a large
plantation In Lee county, but in re
cent years he lived quietly here.
Hts record as a Confederate soldier
was a proud one."
He went to the front os captain
of his command. Company H., Forty-
sixth Georgia', from Marlon county.
His popularity as an officer was evi
denced in the fact that his company
exceeded the required number ot
men, and Us division was made neces
sary.
When General Lee surrendered at
Appomattox, Captain E. Taylor was
the senior ofiicer In command of
his shattered regiment, holding the
position of his colonel, slain.
While a young man he married Miss
Hollis of Marlon county, who has
since been his loving, tender help
meet. She, with their two daughters,
Mrs. Sallle T. Fort and Miss Susie
Taylor: and two sons. Messrs. James
and Jeff Taylor, survive him.—
The funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Allen Fort, were held at -3
o'clock Sunday from the resi
dence on Church street. '
Complete In every detail and
a full force of busy employes,
ericus' fifth fertilizer plant, that of
the Home Mixture Fertilizer Co., and
capitalized at $21,000, began opera
tions yesterday and ls already turn
ing out the finished ..product. 1
Mr. Roy L. Parker is In charge as
general manager, and Is quite proud
of the complete and up-to-date plant
over which lfespresldeB.
"Home mixture" fertilizer, a staple
brand, ls being made there.
The new factory occupies the site
of the old cotton compress at the foot
of Church street. It fronts both
upon the Seaboard and Central Rail
ways, thus affording excellent ship
ping facilities, and is accessible from
the business district likewise.
The new phuft is fully equipped with
the most modern and up-to-date ma
chinery for the manufacture of com
mercial fertilizer, and Is indeed a
model one of Its kind.
Operations were started yesterday
as stated, and probably 6,000 or 6,000
tons of "Home Mixture” guano will
be made. The plant will not be opera
ted at even half its capacity, owing
to lateness of the season and prevail
ing business conditions generally.
The enterprise is established by
Amerlcus and Columbus capitalists,
the MessrB. Council and Messrs. Har-
rold being interested here, while
Messrs. Bussey and Bullock represent
largely the Columbus Interests.
Mr. Frank Harrold Is president,-Mr.
Thos. Harrold vice-president, and Mr.
L. G. Council secretary and treasurer.
As stated, this Is the fifth big
fertilizer plant in operation In Am
ericas ; the Homs Mixture, Tennessee
Chemical; Amerlcus Oil Co., Planters
Oil Co; Virginia-Carolina Chemical
Co., representing a total Investment of
a qunrter million dollars.
And this latest enterprise will meet
with the seme gratifying success ac
corded the others here.
CITY LOOKING TO
GONGRtSSMAN LEWIS
for Addifiesial a Appropria
tion for Postoffice.
Nothing has been heard from Con
gressman Lewis at the present ses
sion of Congress in regard to an
Increase In the appropriation for tne
new postofflee building for Amerlcus.
It was understood among his friends
In AmerlOps that efforts were to be
made os soon as possible looking to
wards an Increase In the appropriation
by $60,000.
A suitable site has already been
bought and paid for, but the residue
of the present appropriation Is not
considered sufficient to put up the
kind of postofflee building commensu
rate with the size and commercial im
portance of Amerlcus.
Information on the subject Is In
great demand In Amerlcus Just now
and some move on the part of Con
gressman Lewis Is awaited with much
Interest by his friends here, who are
trusting to him to get busy at an
early day.
It has been suggested that the build
ing be started with the money al
ready appropriated, and trust to Con
gress for the remainder of the funds
nCCessary to complete the postofflee,
but this scheme does, not meet with
approval.
The friends of Congressman Lewis
in this section—and they are many—
are confident that he will take steps
In the near future to secure the addi
tional $50,000 needed to complete the
building as Is desired by this city.
Such a structure would be sufficiently
large to accommodate the growing
business of Amerlcus for many years.

AGTIVE YEAR FOR
CITY’S REAL ESTATE
Views of Mr. W. 1. Eng'
lish on Property Here.
All Indications in the real estate
field point to a busy year for dealers
In Atnericus real ostnte, Improved and
unimproved. In prder to share In
this prosperity, Mr. W. L English, of
Terrell county, has recently opened
up a real estate and loan office in
the Plnntei* Bank Building. Mr.
English has been hnndling farm lands
for years, and In casting about for a
good field for dealing In town proper
ty, ho chose Amerlcus as the most
promising one in South Georgia. He
has already made Investments of his
own money In county and city proper
ty, besides representing capitalists
money on security of property tr>e in [.DATE OF PRIMARY FOR
this section.
"Business has started up in a most
satisfactory manner,” said Mr. Eng
lish yesterday. “Numerous encourag
ing inquiries have been received, and
In the near future I expect that a
number of the deals under considera
tion will be closed. I find there ls an
excellent demand for Amerlcus pro
perty, principally for Improved lots.
Investors are after tho cheaper houses
to rent, while home seekers are pric
ing the better class of houses. I have
a good list of property which can
be purchased.
"The growth of the city ls to the
southward and chiefly in the rango
of the new street railway. This lat
ter will be a great thing for tho city
and for property values.
/•The year promises to be an active
In real eBtate, with prices on tho
ndvance all the time.”
