THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY. MARCH 27- 1908-
BANK IS INSTALLED IN
HANDSOME NEW HOME
Removal of the Americus
National.
In quarters new, and quite
handsome and complete as those of
any banking house In southern Geor
gia, the Americus National Bank
now greets Its patrons and the busi
ness public, and is to be congratulat
ed upon this latest achievement.
Success from the first has followed
this splendid financial Institution, and
1n Its beautiful new home it will
continue to receive the reward so
well merited.
The removal of the bank to Its new
quarters was effected yesterday, af
ter business hours.
Occupying one of the most promi
nent corners in the commercial heart
of the city, the home of the Americus
National Is an ideal one.
In the centre, almost, of the cotton
district, and the wholesale section as
well; adjoining, almost, the splendid
postofflee building, and fronting two
of the main arteries of the city’s com
merce, the location is one of the
best in Americus.
The handsome building, in itself
Imposing and massive, is fitted up
expressly for the Americus National,
and the interior presents a beautiful
and inviting appearance.
The plans "were drawn by one of
Georgia's best architects, and no
other work of his reflects greater
credit
The interior, with its steel lined
vault insuring safety; its handsome
ly decorated steel ceiling, its floors
laid in mosaic; beautiful marble walls,
mahogany and brass furniture and
electrical' appliances, the effect is
both artistic and pleasing.
Every convenience for expediting
business is at band. Nothing to this
end has been overlooked.
Cashier M. M. Low rev and Assist
ant Cashier R. E. McNulty are the
recipients of many well merited com
pliments upon their very handsome
new quarters.
’While not two years old, the Ameri
cus National has taken an enviable
rank among the" financial institutions
not only in this section but of the
Jstate. It has a capital of $100,000,
and has already accumulated a large
surplus, besides paying dividends.
This bank, like the others here, is
a strong factor in the commercial
prosperity of southwestern Georgia,
and continued success awaits it.

COMFORTING WORDS
Hrfny an Americus Household
Find Them So.
Will
To have the pains and aches of
bad back removed; to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders is enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. To tell how this
great change can be brought about
will prove comforting words to hun
dreds of Americus readerg.
O. W. Herring, undertaker, of 111
Madison St., and living at 113 Madi
son Street, Thomasvllle, Ga„ says: I
have used Doan’s Kidney Pills apd
found them a very effective remedy
for a weak back. My back has given
me much trouble for a long time
past I suffered with a dull, heavy
pain across the loins and the urine
also bothered me. It was very dark
and strong and contained a sediment.
The passages were likewise too fre
quent, not only during the day but
during the night, waking me at all
hours and breaking my reBt add
leaving me tired and worn out in the
morning. This had an injurious ef
fect upon my general health. I tried
quite a number of different reme
dies but none of them seemed to do
me any good until I got Doan’s Kid
ney Pills and used them as directed.
My back is strong again. I have no
pain at all and the kidney secretions
have been restored to a normal con
dition. I can go to bed and sleep and
rest well all night. Doan’s Kidney
Pills did this and I know they are a
valuable remedy.”
Plenty more proofs like this from
Americus people. Call at Dodson's
Pharmacy and ask what customers
report.

Americus will be the Mecca tomor
row for all of the white postmasters
within the jurisdiction of the Third
Congressional district, who thus as
semble here to do homage to the
G. O. P. elephant, and to discuss the
party affairs in general.
All of those who are appointed by
the President are expected at this
Americus conference.
The meeting, it Is said, will be
held at < Hall and probably at
tended by a dozen or score of the
postmasters. They will discuss var
ious matters pertaining to the cam
paign, a la republicaine.
Most of the postmasters, if not all,
are ‘‘Administration” men.
The republican convention for the
Third district, which was called to
assemble at Marshallville next Satur
day. has been . postponed until April
25th, nearly a' month in the future,
and the Americus delegates have been
so notified.
This § postponment was brought
about at the suggestion of The Pow
ers, who hold forth in Atlanta and
guide "de masheen.’* '
It is said that the minority ele
ment in Americus- led by a black
Americus "perfesser” will kick on
postponment and attempt to hold the
Marshallville meeting anyway, but
whatever efforts they make all count
for nothing.
This is the ‘‘tallholt” gang that is
backing Foraker and hankering fora
little postoffice job.
The Administration forces here, to
gether with the better element of the
colored republicans, are for the Ad
ministration to a man, and whatever
they say will go. These will ' elect
the delegates to the Chicago con
vention, both white and blacks.
With the row now on between this
better element and the r?; nk-Cj*, a
lively time is looked for at the dis
trict meeting.

J. J. Clarke, the white man jailed

the court and his cash bond of $100
has been declared forfeited. Clarke
Is the father of the four little child

ago and sent to the Industrial Home

offered it as a bond for Clarke and
lie was released from jail last Fri

been tried this week, but Clarke has
not since put' in appearance and bis

Three weeks from Wednesday morn

ranks will march upon the polls and
settle the fate and aspirations of the
thirty-three candidates in the running
for the dozen offices at the disposal
of the people.
For three have been “called” where
one gets the bun.
April 15th Is the decisive date of
the candidatal battle, and until the
sun goes down upon a ballot-strewn
field the fight will go gamely forward.
For the boys are in the running,
and each candidate feels perfectly
confident of victory.
For six weeks or longer they have
pump-handled the voter and beat the
bushes in search of the hidden ones,
and are yet running a tireless race.
For will not the office, when theirs,
compensate for all the laborious work
performed?
From Flint river on the east to the
Webster line; from Smtthvllle on the
South to historic old Andersonvllle
on the northern boundary, they have
campaigned.
And the only voter overlooked was
the dead one.
The lbng Campaign has been con
ducted upon a .high plane and wholly
free from mud-slinging. The thirty-
three jolly each other as they catch
the same voter unawares and each
one, down in his heart, pities that
other fellow.
Three weeks only remain, and then
will the score of disappointed ones
tell how it happened. '

RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION
Simple Way to Prevent and Care
Stomach Trouble
The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness should eat slowly
and chew the food thoroughly.
But as the majority of people have
already so abused the delicate stom
ach that they suffer with distress af
ter eating, flatulence, headaches, coat
ed tongue, spots before the eyes and
the many other symptoms of Indiges
tion, It Ib necessary for them to use
Ml-o-na, the only remedy that will
stengthen the muscular walls of the
stomach and increase the flow of gas
tric juices so that Indigestion will
be cured. V
Mi-o-na puts the whole digestive
system in such shapd' that it can
care for all the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.
Dodson's Pharmacy gives an abso
lute guarantee with every 50-cent box
to refund the money unless Mi-o-na
does all that 1b claimed for it. A guar
antee like this must inspire your con
fidence in the remedy. 25-27
BOOKER WASHINGTON
TO BE HERE MAY 21
Booker Washington, the distin
guished colored educator of Tuske-
gee, Ala., will be in Americus on May
21, and will deliver, one and per
haps two addresses. Information of
his coming was received yesterday
by Prof. Reddick, of the Americus In
stitute. The date named Is the last
day of the session of the Institute
and the address at the school will be
in the nature of the commencement
oration.
It is not known whether Booker
Washington will arrive on the early
morning train from Montgomery,
will come in at noon. It he comes
early he will probably make an ad
dress at some down-town audltorltim,
and speak again at the school in the
afternoon. He leaves at 3 p. m. In
any event the people of Americus
will have an opportunity to hear the
well known educator. This will be
his first appearance in Americus.

TEAGHERS OF SUMTER
ALW4YS PAID PROMPTLY
In view of tfce discussion about de
layed payments for the school teach
ers. it can be said of Sumter county
teachers that they never have tc
wait for their pay. The county boari
usually manages to raise the money.
The county makes the contracts with
the teachers and pays them when their
services are ’ rendered. In that way
the teachers are relieved of the nec
essity of having to take county
script, to sell at a discount, or wait
for their money. The state may be
behind In its payments to the teach
ers, but Supt. W. S. Moore does not
allow that to be an excuse to put the
teachers -off after they have - done
their work.
