The city’s police department, with

strange indeed. But only picture him

Why- nbt a few announcements for
county commissioners. This Is the
race In which the people of Sumter are
much interested.
More announcements appear at the
top of the column this morning for
county offices. "On with the dance;
let Joy be unconfined."
Col. George Thornton, hearing the
thunder of the canldldatal running
here, came over from Preston yester
day to study the situation.
The case of the convicted forger,
Joiner, appealed to the supreme court,
will probably be passed upon by that
tribunal this week.
A candidate in his mad flight yes
terday landed in the postofflce. And
this is about the nearest approach to
an office he will get.
Americus would be glad to see that
big canning factory established here.
We have the fruit, and this is the
place for such an enterprise.
The three negroes brought to Am
ericus from Plains charged with bur
glary, are still held in Jail in default
of $1,000 bond in each case.
Despite a slightly higher rate,
the usual number of Americus peo
ple will go to New Orleans to Madl-
Gras. The rate will be about $15.
Th? friends and admirers of Con
gressman E. B. Lewis hall with pleas
ure bis announcement, and will again
delight to honor him.
The big addition to the building of
the Glover Grocery Co., Is only one of
many substantial improvements plan
ned in Americus this spring.
JUDGE CRISP IS AGAIN
TO OFFER FOR PLACE
As his many friends and admirers
throughout the country had antici
pated, Judge Charles R. Crisp today
makes formal announcement of his
candidacy for the position he now
holdB, that of judge of the City Court
of Americus. This position has been
an appointive one heretofore, and for
the first time Judge Crisp comes be
fore the people as a candidate there
for in the democratic primary on
April 15th. Judge Crisp, since his In
cumbency of this Important office, has
discharged his official duties with
signal ability. His fitness to wear
the ermine, together with his uniform
courtesy, urbanity and widespread
popularity will insure him a very
cordial support at the hands of the
democratic voters of Sumter in the
forthcoming election.

COTTON LOST CAINS
OF PREVIOUS DAY
Only Activity Locally Was
in Off Grades.
The previous day’s gain’s in the
cotton market were practically swept
away Wednesday, when net losses of
11 to 15 points were sustained. The
opening was 2 to 6 points lower. Prices
soon rallied to a level slightly above
the close for the day before on cover
ing by early sellers, b.ut at the high
point a reaction came under which
values drifted gradually down
ward. New York closed at the low
est, while New Orleans recovered c
few poinls from dts low level.
The New York market opened 2 to
4 points down, but soon grew stronger,
advancing 6 to 7 points over opening
figures. Liquidation set in around the
noon hour and the market eased off
until the close, which was quiet, 11
to 15 points below the final for Tues
day. Spot prices were marked down
5 points. New Orleans opened. 4 to
6 points lower, but soon worked up
ward. In the afternoon prices were
lower. The close was up several points
from the worst, 12 to 13 points below
the final for the day before. Spot
quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened 3 to 4 points up,
about as due. Some positions im
proved slightly during the session,
the close being quiet and steady, 4 to
5 points net higher for the day. The
English market Is due 6 to 7 points
lower this morning. Spot prices were
advanced 2 points, the sales being
6,000 bales.
Locally the dullness was broken by
the sale of about twenty bales of
tinges and stains, at prices based re
latively on quotations. This was
the only buying order In evidence. No
cotton was being pushed tor sale. Quo
tations are unchanged from Tuesday.

Mr. Churchwell Reddick, who was
run over by a Seaboard passenger
train at Weston, Webster county, on
Monday afternoon, died a few hours
thereafter as the result of injuries In
flicted. One leg was severed by the
wheels while the other was broken
and one arm crushed. Mr. Reddick
was postmaster at the little town of
Weston, and It Is thought that he
was struck by a mailbag supended
from the mall coach and knocked be
neath the moving train. He survived
the shock but a few hours. Mr. Red
dick, was one of the prominent citi
zens of Webster county and very well
known In Americus as well, where
many friends deplore his tragic death.
Sated a $170.00 Mare When n Veterl-
nary Failed to Core Her.
While serving as an officer on the
steamship Montezuma, which carried
horses and mules to South Africa,"
writes O. H. H. Rowe, of Sparta, Ill.,
I saw Sloan's Sure Colic Cure used
on the horses and never saw a case
of colic prove too much for it.
"We had 1,250 horses on board for
over a month, so that we had a good
opportunity to tcBt the remdy thor
oughly.
"The veterinary used Sloan's Lini
ment, also, for Bore Bhoulders and
sprains, and the horses were landed
in a particularly fine condition.
"I know of another case here In
Sparta, 111., where Sloan’s Sure Colic
Cure saved a $170 mare after the vet-
terlnary had failed to cure her.”

THE NATION NEEDS A BEST.
This was the key note of the recent
Interview by er-Representatlve
Charles A. Towne, of New York.
Mr. Towne Is disgusted with ful
some praise of Roosevelt os a Demo
cratic leader. He does not regard this
praise as properly bestowed or as a
good political move. There is still a
vast divergence between the adminis
tration politics and those of the his
toric Democratic party, and the lines
of demarkatlon cannot be too strong
ly kept before the public mind.
The former congressman speaks
quite vigorously along this line and
other lines. He does not hesitate to
express views that many other pub
lic men probably have but have re
frained from giving publicity to, os
they should have done. He says In
part:
"I dissent with emphasis from the
present tendency of many Democratic
leaders to represent the President ns
a typical Democrat and the disposi
tion to commit our party to the pro
gram of continuation of Roosevelt-
Ism. It is, In my opinion, not only
wrong, but unwise as a policy. It is
both bad'patriotism and poor tactics.
It surrenders the advantage of party
initiative, and abdicates the historic,
characteristic and beneficlent doc
trines of the organization. It obscures
the great Issue of tariff revision and
seems to involve us in endless com
mitment to extravagant expenditures
and the Indefinite multiplication of
the functions of government
"The Democratic party does not
owe Theodore Roosevelt Its doctrine
of the greatest good to the great
est ii u in in -r, and It can go on champ
ioning the welfare of the many
against the Interests of the few with-
I out relinquishing its great principles
of home rule, local self-governmeat,
the preservation of the autonomy
the States and the restoration sad
maintenance of the balance amoag
the coordinate branches of the na
tional Government. Not only is there
danger that we may be guilty of aban
doning the fundamental - conceptions
of American constitutionalism, but I
bcllevo it to be poor party policy t®
threaten the country with four years
more of unrest, uncertainty and ca
pricious experisentalism. The body
politic must, like the physical body,
find some repose after a prolonged
period of ,strenuous nervous excite
ment v -•
“I believe that the country, while
determined to take no backward step
in maintaining tho rights of the cit
izens against the encroachments of
corporations, is inclined to pause a
while and ‘take stock,’ so to speak, of
recent achievement. I believe the
people are ready to welcome a Pres
ident who would he content to en
force the laws without seeking also
to enact and Interpret them. I believe.
In short, that It would be both patri
otic and politic for the Democratic
party to promise the nation a lucid
interval of -constitutional govern
ment.” ..
WARNING AGAINST FEDERALISM
Warning against the Inroads ef
federalism continue to bo uttered by
public men In every sphere of life.
The feeling seems to have become
widespread among thinking men that
tho time has come for a halt in the
centralization tendencies at Wash
ington, and that the powers of the
federal government must not bo al
lowed to further usurp those of eith
er tho states or of the people.
Prominent among the recent utter
ances on this lino was the speech de
livered by the dean of the Yale Law
School beforo tho students of tho
Kentucky University. t)r. Rogers re
iterated some truths that cannot be too
frequently stressed upon the public
mind. Putting these truths so con
cisely and so plainly that no one can
fall to comprehend them his speech,
was especially fitted for general read
ing. Said he. In part:
"If the Government Is to endure,,
tho pooplo must steadfastly maintain,
two essential fundamental principles.
The first 1b that the national Govern
ment possesses all the powers grant
ed to It In tho Constitution, either ex
pressly or by necessary Implication;
tho second Is that the States possess
all governmental powers not granted
to the general Government or re
served to tho people.
"We are threatened with a revival
of Federalism, and with a Federalism
that Is more extreme and radical than
the leaders of tho old Federal party
ever sanctioned. Tho argument pro
ceeds on the assumption that the
States liavo falledto perform their
duty properly, so that great evils
havo grown up which the States can
not or will not properly remedy and
from which we should have been free
If only tho Federal Government had
exercised the authority, and not the
States.
“That tho States have not don®
their duty Is conceded. •, But that the
Federal Government would have done
better Is a mere assumption, and one
I am not prepared to accept. Con
gress now has in the Territories and
the District of Columbia all the pow
ers which the State governments pos
sess yet tho legislation respecting the
corporations which Congress has
enacted has not been better than the
legislation of the States on the same
subject. The laws of Congress havt
not secured publicity of accounts, nor
prevcnted.overcapltallzatlon and stock
watering/ and no'system of Inspec
tion has been established over Federal
corporations. The Union Pacific Rail
road has a Federal charter, but upon
Its reorganization In 1897 It had a
share capital of ’$136,000,000, which
at market prices was worth $54,000,-
000. showing an estimated overcapi
talization of $81,330,000. That la
times past? State Legislatures have
been under the control of special ,
interests Is too true. But, unfortun
ately, so has Congress. One evidence
of It is seen In the tariffs established
from time to time under the pretense
of protecting labor. Tariffs have
been fixed not merely high enough to
cover tho difference in the cost of
labor here and abroad, but far in ex
cess thereof, and so high that the
great mass of the people of this
country have been exploited that th®
privileged few might build up enor
mous fortunes." *
Among many thoughts advanced'by
Rabbi Hirsch of Philadelphia, in an
address on "The Danger and the
Hope of the Nation.” was the following
which is well worthy of patriotic con
sideration: “However powerful a na
tion is it is doomed to weakness unless
its power bo under consecration to
duty."
Ambassador Takahira joins In the
sentiment expressed by an American
general that “war Is hell." In an
interview following* Ills landing
Now York, the new Ambassador de
clared that an American-Japa
was was “too hellish to be thought
of.”-
- smm
While speaking at Hartford,
some one interrupted Secretary
with a question about the Standard
Oil twenty nine million fine. The
press report says the secretary
cd it off with an anecdote. The pub
lie Is wondering it tin* -rawwo
turned it oft with a Joke.
Tho people are tired of crusades
and crusaders, says the Philadelphia
Record, and are looking about for some
man who will be satisfied to run th®
country in constitutional grooves.
