A MOTHER
Is an ordeal which aQ
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
^ child-birth. The thought
0 { the suffering and danger xn store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Alother S Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement'of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
n d child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women sit the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend
carrv women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
cently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents “morning
sickness,” and other dis
comforts of this period.

CERTIFICATES HAVE
BEEN DESTROYED
Less Than $100 Still Out.
Part Forever.
Clearing House certificates so far
as Americus Is concerned are matters
of history. The certificates were all
due and payable March. The $26,-
000 worth of certificates issued by the
four Americus banks, the Banks of
Plains, Ellarllle, Richland, and the
Bank or Stewart county, have all
been retired and destroyed, except
less than $100 worth, of which the
good part will not likely be present
ed for payment. If they are, the
Bank of Southwest Georgia will
quickly redeem them.
At least one certificate is gone for
ever. Shortly after the certificates
were placed In circulation, a negro
had one given him among some bills
for cotton. While at the railroad sta
tion waiting for his train, some of his
fellows joked him for accepting a cer
tificate.
“Dat ‘stlf'cate hatn't no good,” de
dared one of the negroes. “Dey's dun
cheated you.” This Idea so worked
on the mind of the holder that in
anger at being caught, he tore up
$5 certificate and threw It In the
fire.
In issuing the certificates, the local
banks were not Influenced by a lack
of cash, for they had an entire suffi
ciency to transact all business. The
object sought was to prevent their
money being drawn out for the bene
fit of other sections, where actual
cash was at a premium.
In this they were a great success.
During the greatest stringency else
where. depositors at local banks could
get all the currency needed for legi
timate purposes.
Guided by the experience of the
recent crisis, It Is not likely that
Americus banks will ever need lo is
sue certificates again, certainly not
unless there should be a big financial
panic brought on by crop disasters
and not by gamblers, as was (lie
last.
, S
BANKRUPTED ONE ROAD
For an example of paternalism run
to seed, commends us to the Georgia
Railroad Commission and Its Chair
man. The very latest Instance Is
letter by Mr. McLendon, In which he
suggests to the Southern road
scheme to steal a march on the Cen
tral of Georgia, which has failed
bow the knee to the self-made au
tocrats.
For an example of the ruin which
an unrestrained railroad commission
brings upon a commonwealth, the
receivership of the International &
Great Northern road in Texas Is
good one. The road this week asked
that a receiver be appointed to save
their property from the depredatlohs
of the railroad commission.
President George J. Gould gives out
the following statement of the situa
tion:
"The receivership for the Internat
ional and Great Northern Railroad
company causes no surprise, and Is
due to conditions and reasons almost
entirely local.
“While there has been an almost
unprecedented falling oft in revenues
due to the business depression pre
vailing in Texas and elsewhere, and
affecting every branch of Industry,
this alone would not have caused the
action now taken. At a time when
revenues are the leanest and business
is at the lowest ebb, the company Is
called upon by the state commission
to make additions and Improvements
to its fixed and rolling plant and
revisions of Its property Involving the
expenditure of several millions of dol
lars, and to proceed in these expendi
tures upon a schedule prescribed by
the commission without regard to cur
rent expenses or the ability of
the company to secure funds to meet
the expenditure.
“These orders have come on top of
a decrease In groes earnings for the
last four months of $989,000 or a de
crease at the rate of nearly $3,000,-
000 a year. It has been Impossible
to reduce expenses anywhere near
proportionately. Even were the
earnings as large as formerly they
would not provide for these exten
sive and immediate outlays and the
laws of Texas do not admit if financial
markets did, of the Issue and sale of
sceurlties to do the work required
of the company.
“The orders of the commission have
the efTect of laws unless certified by
the court and the requirements now
placed on the company tor these
great and Immediate outlays without
the revenues, the credit, the securi
ties, or the market to provide the
money, mean such Insolvency as would
under the laws of Texas empower the
state authorities to apply for a re
ceivership."
PEOPLE Oil OF WORK
AND LITTLE IS DOING
Mr. Cliff McElroy has come to Am
ericus hiB old home, to spend a few
days with relatives and enjoy the gen
ial sunshine of God’s own country.
Mr. McElroy Is In the clothing manu
facturing business In n West Vir
ginia city, and says that the pinch of
the recent money stringency Is sev
erely felt there. The principal source
of Income la from, the coal mining
business and manufacture of coke.
But there Is nothing doing now. Fight
ing the railroads and corporate In
terests has resulted In loss of orders
and closing down of the mines, and
thousands of people are out of work
and with no. source of Income.

THE BOARD TO PUBLISH
PROCEEDINGS IN FALL
As Recommended by the
Grand Jury.
The Board of County Commis
sioners met Monday In monthly ses
sion, with Chairman Johnson presid
ing and all members present The
session consumed the greater part of
the day and many matters of import
ance were considered.
The entire proceedings will be
published In full within a day or two,
as soon as prepared.
The Board of Commissioners, act
ing upon the recommendation of the
grand jury will, hereafter, publish
the minutes of each meeting In their
entirety. *
This Important step was determin
ed upon yesterday by a resolution to
that effect adopted, and Secretary W.
L. Thomas will prepare the minutes
of each meeting in full from hts notes
for publication as soon as they can
be transcribed.
The Timcs-Recorder was designat
ed the official organ for the publica
tion of the monthly proceedings of
the commissioners.
The fact that the proceedings are
thus to he published will be a source
of satisfaction to the people of Sum
ter generally, who wish to be advised
of county affairs, and the board Is to
be commended for thus complying,)
with the wishes In this regard.
The proceedings of yeserday's
meeting will appear Wednesday
Thursday, In all probability.

Again the city council and the
county commissioners have come to
the assistance of the Americus Light
Infantry, and by a small contribu
tion each, have insured the maintaln-
ance of this command. The city
council appropriates $150, while the
county helps to. like extent. The ag
gregate sum is sorely heeded by the
soldier boys for the payment 'or ar
mory rental and other necessary ex
penses, and comes at a time most op
portune. Sumter county has no bet

lined military company, which so oft
en In the past has stood as a bulwark
of strength In upholding the law, and
at times when the presence of guns
and strength were needed. The ac
tion of each body in thus helping the
military will be heartily commended.

modification of thq prohibition law
as to the sale of wine and beer. In
reply the Constltulon makes a "nine-
shot,"—by printing a fac-slmile of a
statement sent out by Gov. Smith to
the Associated Press, In which he says
after predicting the general abolition
of the saloon, “The use of whiskey and
similar drinks might then be confined
to medicinal purposes, and the light
er drinks, such as wlno and beer, be
used only at table as food."\ How wine
and beer could be procured for gen
eral table use without a change In tho
present prohibition law, la not stat
ed. If his words do not mean that
he favors the sale of beer and wines,
we confess that We cannot see what
they do mean.

The Doctor's supreme confidence in

a $100, against 25 cents—pretty big
odds. And Preventlcs, remember,
contain no quinine, no laxative, noth

SUBMITS TO KNIFE FOR
CASE OF APPENDICITIS
Operation for appfndicitles was
performed Sunday afternoon upon
Miss Pearl Scroggs, matron-in'-charge
of the Americus Hospital. The op
eration was skillfully performed by
Doctor George R. White of Savan
nah, Doctors Prather, Chambliss and
Mayes of Americus, and was entirely
successful. Miss Scroggs was rest
ing very well yesterday, and the host
of friends of this most excellent young
lady will hope for her early and
complete restoration to health. The
operation consumed about sixteen
minutes, and the necessity for It was
very Apparent, when the appendix
was removed and examined.

BUSINESS IS RAPIDLY
GROWING DEFTER
Mr. R. E. Allison returned yester
day from a business trip through
northern Georgia and Alabama.
“I find business conditions In that
territory have very much Improved
in the past ninety days,” said Mr.
Allison. "There was a decidedly
more buoyant tone to business, the
merchants spoke with more confi
dence as to the future, and there was
an air of resuming activity that was
quite agreeable. The general opin
ion seemed to be that the cloud was
fast disappearing and that the spring
and summer would bring a business
that would average well up to the
ordinary run.”
