CARDUI
DELAY OF BUILDING OF
PRESS IN AMERICUS
Waiting on Adjustment of
Losses.
I
For just six weeks the Amerlcus
Compress Co., has been waiting for
an adjustment of insurance losses
upon the plant burned here that
length of time since, but as yet the
agents of the Insurance companies
have not effected a settlement.
And until this Is done the Amerlcus
company cannot begin the work of
rebuilding the plant.
Not only Is thls*delay vexatious', but
the local company is sustaining cpn-
. siderable pecuniary loss by virtue of
its contract with the Atlantic Com
press Co., lessees of the plant
The plant here, together with about
j1,300 bales cotton, was totally des
troyed by fire February 1st.' The
losses upon cotton were promptly ad
justed, hut thus far the , companies
carrying risks upon the press have
effected no settlement.
The Amerlcus company, anxious to
rebuild the plant for Its lesse, the
Atlantic Compress Co., is thus badly
handicapped.
Nothing In the way of rebuilding
-can be done until the loss is arbitrat
ed and a settlement with the insurance
companies effected. And the repre
sentative of the company, expected
daily, baa failed to materalize.
Under the law the Insurance com
panics have sixty days In which
to adjust claims, and this limit may
be invoked In this case.
The Amerlcus company may or may
not use the burned machinery, a fact
which canot be determined until the
losses are paid. It Is the desire of
the owners to equip the plant to be
built with entirely new machinery,^lf
... possible.
Ont million feet of lumber wllT he
required in building the new com
press sheds and platform, as the new
plant will be much larger than the
one destroyed. The platform space
will be greatly enlarged and other
needed facilities added.
It la atUl hoped, and expected, that
the new compress w!U*be completed
ere the opening of the next cotton
season In August.

been fixed by the Governor, controller
and state treasurer, In accordance
with legal requirement, as that to

For two or three years past the
date has been March 31, the last day
that could be fixed, and on which ap
peared for a time to give the best re
sults.
But It vyas decided that this year
there should be a change.
All parties who owned any real or
personal property on March 14, there
fore, are liable for state and county
taxes upon it, even though it should
be' sold, or transferred twenty-four
hours later.
Tax receivers and collectors all
over the state will be Instructed ac
cordingly.
An Improvement near the close of
the Liverpool cotton market was re
flected In the opening of the American
markets Wednesday, but in the after
noon prices slumped badly. An es
timate of the number of bales ginned.
Including Ilnters, was 11,467,000, the
llnters being placed at 306,000 bales.
In view of the prospective curtail
ment of ouput the belief was wide
spread that the end of the season
would likely see a good supply car
ried over. Nothing was heard from
the hull contingent and cotton was
freely thrown Into the market. Low
levels for the season were reached,
though October losses were more
moderate than other positions.' Net
losses for the day were 12 to 18
points for the old crop positions.
New York opened 2 to 4 points up
on cables, and worked a few points
higher during the morning. Around
the noon hour a depression set In,
with small recoveries continuing un
til the close, which was 9 points low
er for October, and 16 to 18 points
down for other months, as compared
with the final for Tuesday. Spots
were marked off 5 points, reaching 11
cents for middling. New Orleans op
ened 2 to 5 points higher and after
narrow changes gained a little
opening values. The market broke
In the afternoon, the close being at
the bottom, 7 to 14 points net lower
for the day. Spot quotations were
reduced l-8c.
Liverpool opened 1 to 2 points low®
er and held around these prices until
In the afternoon, when an improve
ment was made. The close was quiet,
unchanged to 1 point 'above the final
figures for Tuesday. Spots were re
duced 2 points, the sales being 8,000
bales.
In the local spot market a few bales
of the better grades changed hands
on a basis of about 10 1-2 cents. Lit
tle was offering and the demand was
also slack. Quotations are reduced
1-4 of a cent from Tuesday.

The Best Care for Colic In Horses.
HR
Colic is usually the result of Indi
gestion, caused by sudden changes of
feed, too long fasting, food given when
the horse Is exhausted, new hay or
grain, or large quantities of green
feed. v
Every horse owner should keep
Sloan's Sure Colic Cure In his stable
as an insurance ngaiifst colic, for an
attack of colic Is liable to come on
without warning at any time, and
Sloan's Sure Colic Cure Is the safest
and best remedy to use. It acts in
stantly on the stomach and bowels
and can be given by a woman or a
child.
“I cured a horse with colic that had
been treated by a good veterinary sur
geon for forty-eight hours,” writes
Mr. R. A. Pierce, of Cohutta Springs,
Ga. “The horse was. about dead and
the owner said he Wouldn't take five
cents for him. I gave him three doses
of Sloan's Sure Colic Cure and he was
up and eating hay in ten minutes.”
Mbst Amerlcus people work every
day In some strained, unnatural posi
tion—bending constantly over a desk
—riding on jolting wagons or cars—
doing laborious housework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the back
in a hundred and one other wayB. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength In bad backs.
Mrs. W. S. Marshall. B. F. D. No.

band’s back and hips were bo stiff
and sore that he could not get. up
from'a chair without help. I got a
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills for him
at Dodson’s Pharmacy, at Amerlcus,
and after taking the pills he felt
relief In three days. One box entirely
cured him.

Possibility of Administering Local

After a series of experiments cov

discovered that to administer local
treatment to the stoifiach was a pos
sibility.
As a result of his study of the dis
eases of digestion and nutrition, he
prepared a prescription called Ml-o-na
stomach tablets that act directly upon
the stomach and bowels, increasing
their strength and power to digest
whatever food Is eaten.
Headaches, giddiness, palpitations,
heartburn, sleeplessness, flatulence,
bad taste In the mouth, Irritability,
drowsiness, coated tongue and full

Indigestion and cured by Ml-o-na.

Joe Brown Answers Gov.
Smith's Explanation.
In -his reply to Gov. Smith's Deca

said in explaining the letter which
had been given as the reason for
his discharge from the Railroad Com
mission;
"Seeing therefore that he would
make himself foolish by assigning for
my suspension the above two rea
sons wherein his campaign words
had condemned me but his official
acts had Justified me, he was driven
to And another reason and what was
It?
“That 1 had written him a letter
which he had refused to unseal and
read.
"True, he did not avail himself of
the opportunity literally In his
grasp of opening the letter and find
ing whether or not It was couched
In respectful terms, or whether
was vltuperatlvely abusive. The
method by which I sent the letter Is
often adopted in business circles to
ensure the personal reception of
special communications; and that,
without the courtesy of slight exer
tion of opening it he should .have
assumed that my adopting that mode
of sending a communication Intended
for his personal attention was* of
threatening character was childish.
Nay, the mere fact that it was sent
by an officer of the State who, in the
discharge of his sworn duty had dar
ed to question the infallibility of that
august one who had pursued him
for two years with unprovoked and
unjustifiable threatB, was an affront
and insult

Story of np Envelope
“And an aggravation of that af
front was found In the fact that, in
stead of using a stamped envelope
for a letter sent into an adjoining of

stamped one on the desk—a blank
envelope In which a member of Mr.
Smith's law firm bad handed me
some documents—and put my sealed
letter to the Governor therein. To
avoid defacing or blurring It by pen

thereunder with a pencil the words,
"old envelope used over.” But, I may
ask, what bearing had the envelope on
the contents of the envelope?
"Now the above Is the history of
the transaction upon which the
Governor bases his reason for sus

JUBILEE DAY FOR
LAST SPIKE ON RY.
Day
Amerlcus Is to have a Jubilee
sometime this summer or fall.
It Is to celebrate the'driving of the
last spike on Its electric railway.
W. A. Dodson, Esq., who was the
father of the movement that resulted
In the Pennsylvania capitalists com
ing to Amerlcus is also the father ot
the proposed celebration.
It Is his intention to make the day
a memorable one when the last spike
Is put in the track.
In all probability a great barbecue
will be served, there will be speech-
making of a congratulatory and joy
ful nature, and outturn of thousands
of townspeople, and people from the
country about Amerlcus.
It is hoped to have some of the
forty tons and machinery on hand
whereby the capacity could easily be
Increased to Blxty.
Mr. Sims purchased the additional
equipment a year or two ago but it
has never been installed as yet. Were
this done the local demand would be
supplied.
The fact that the plant will soon
start up will be hailed with pleasure
by local consumers.
For three months the- Americus-
market, consuming tons of ice deafly
at this season, has been supplied with
shipments from Macon and other
points. Frequently the city has been
entirely out of ice, to the great dis
comfort of consumers. ,
Should several hundred carloads ot
peaches be shipped from Americas
this summer, as now seems probable,
the ice problem would be a great one
and possibly Insurmountable. Tne
cars, doubtless, would have to »o
