There will he no shortage In the
■quantity of blackberry wine within
the realms of old Sumter this summer
as a result of the stringent state pro
hibition law which unfortunately, puts
the seal of condemnation upon that
staunch support of the people,—the
plebian blackberry. It is a chalngang
or perhaps penitentiary offense to
make even as much as a pint of black
berry wine, or cordial, even for medi
cinal purposes, but the chaingang
will never be recruited from the ranks
of the good housewives about Ameri-
cus who may thus violate, unwittingly,
a too stringent law. Hundreds of the
good women do not know that it Is
a violation of law to make blackberry
cordial and. in consequence. many
hundred gallons of this old household
remedy will be put up here this sum
mer, as usual.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 13.—
The officers of the Signal corps at
Fort Meyer are preparing .for a
scries of official tests of flying ma
chines near the fort, beginning next
month. These tests are expected to
extend Irregularly through the sum
mer. It now looks as though there
will be at least three aeroplanes, or
heavier than air machines, In the
trials, while one dirigible balloon has
been formally entered.
The War Department last year
published inducements for the build
ing of dirigible balloons for use In
time of war, but so far, though
many applications have been made
and many balloooit submitted, only one
aeronaut has reached the standard set
by the department. This is Captain
Baldwin, of California, who hopes to
have his dirigible gas bag ready
some time'in July. The price fixed
lor this balloon is $8,000. The lighter
Ilian air flying craft will have to go
live miles and return to the point of
starting, while an ability to remain
aloft for two hours is required.
The terms of purchase provide a
sliding bonus for increased speed
above the minimum of IS miles an
hour for the balloons. This bonus
goes to as high as 40 per cent of the
original price, provided that a speed
of 24 miles is attained. The heavier
than air machines must he able to
remain in air for one hour, but the
minimum speed is -36 miles. Here
the bonus Increases up to 55 miles
an hour.
The Wright Brothers announce that
they will have their double aeroplane
ready by September and will make
a trial- flight from the fort parade
grounds. Another airship to fly
without the aid of a gas bag is one
that A. M. Henning, of New York,
is expected to enter. His machine
has never tried a flight. Isreal Lud
low is at work on another in Wash
ington, and says that he will be
ready early in July. The arrange
ments will be in charge of Captain
Selfridge, of the Signal Corps, who
has been detailed with Professor
Alexander Graham Bell to conduct
aeroplane experiments at Hammonds-
port, N. Y.
The scene of the trials will he the
big level calvary parade ground
near Fort Meyer.

""TV BROWN IN WHIRL
District Gave Him Majority
7l830ver Smith.
A few days before the election two
well known Americus politicians, thor
oughly up in state affairs, met iu an
Americus office and figured on the
Third Congressional District iu the
gubernatorial campaign.
One stated that It would give Smith
five hundred majority, but that the
Brown headquarters conceded it to
Smith by 1.000.
The two got out pencils and figured
out the majorities they thought each
county would give.
When they were through, to their
surprise they found that each had
figured that the district would go for
Brown by 300 to 500.
The returns show that they were
not far off, and knew more about
It than the flgurers in Atlanta, the
results iu the District being:

REV. DEAN IS GALLED
BACK TO GEORGIA
Pastor of Americus Church
May Return.
Rev. Sam C. Dean, for several years
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Americus, and for three years past
the pastor of one of the leading
churches in Philadelphia, may return
to Georgia to resume here his minis
terial work. The Baptist church
Cartersvllle, Ga„ has been without
a pastor since April, and on Sunday
last Rev. Mr. Dean was Invited to fill
that pulpit. So pleased with him was
the congregation and members that
Mr. Dean has since been called to fill
the pulpit permanently, and while he
lias not yet signified acceptance
the call It Is hoped that he will do
so. Mr. Dean Is one of the ablest and
most eloquent ministers In the Baptist
church and has a host of friends in
Americus who feel a deep Interest in
his welfare and success.

A few doses of this remedy will in-
variably cure an ordinary attack of
diarrhoea.
It can always be depended upon,
even in the more severe attacks of
cramp colic and cholera morbus.
It is equally successful for summer
diarrhoea and cholera infantnm in
children, and is the means of saving
the lives of many children each year.
When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of tho Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed, you have a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing,
and when it Is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in-
flammed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of ddafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Care. Send for cir
culars, free.

DEATH OF E. J. M’GEHEE
AT HOME IN AMERIGUS
Will Gelebrate the Fourth
As Usual.
Americus, ever a hotbed of un
corked and Irrepressible patriotism;
will enthusiastically celebrate the
Glorious Fourth In manner befitting
the dignity of our Uncle Samuel. The
Fourth drops in upon us two weeks
from next Saturday, and already Am
ericus Is getting ready to give vent
to her hermetically sealed feelings and
to whoop up the earth. The hanks
here have given notice of their Inten
tion to lock up the cash on Saturday,
the Fouth, and the merchants of the
city will do likewise. Americus will
literally quit business on July Fourth
and take to the woods. It Is one of
the three recognized holidays of the
year, and nobody's money Is good
here on that date. Already several
merchants, following the time-honor
ed custom, will close up on Saturday,
4th, And as the holiday fails on Satur
day It will afford many here an op
portunity for taking a little trip, In
cluding Sunday following.
Mr. E. J. McGehee passed away at
7 o'clock Friday morning at his
residence on I,ee street. His death,
while not unexpected, in view of re
cent critical illness, was none the less
a source of sincerest sorrow to hun
dreds here who held him In highest
esteem.
A man of integrity; genial and af
fable, he made friends of all and
enemies of none, and those who knew
best this big-hearted man esteemed
him the most.
And many are there who will sor
row at his death.
For several months his health had
been Impaired and recently he went
to Hot Springs for the benefit of the
waters, but all to no avail. Since
returning home three weeks ago he
gradually declined, until the end
came at the hour stated.
Mr. McGehee was a native of Hous
ton county where his early life was
spent, removing thence to Montezu
ma. Six years ago he came here to
engage in business.
His father was Dr. E. J. McGehee,
a prominent cittzen of Houston coun
ty many years ago. Ho is survived
by his wife, who was Miss Courtney
Russell of Sumter, and a little daugh
ter, Alice. His onllv remaining sis
ter is Mrs. Cope Winslow, of Fort
Valley.
Mr. McGehee was fifty-six years
of age.

“There is more thrift and business
in Americus than in any city in Geor
gia south of Macon. I travel over
two states, Georgia and Alabama, and
there is no town that equals Ameri
cus when it comes to solid business
and solid business .men."
This was the observation ol a
Montgomery traveling man here yes
terday, and he meant what he said.
Nor Is his an Isolated opinion, for
every visitor to Americus is im
pressed most favorably with the
great volume of trade here in all
lines and with conditions generally.
There Is no talk of dull times here.
.Merchants have had a splendid spring
trade, as they have at all seasons.
Business condtlons are the very
best, and the prospect for a magnifi

pects, was never brighter In mid-
June.
Farmers, like the merchants, are
in good condition and talk most en
couragingly of the fall harvest. There
are no growlers in Americus.
Business failures are well nigh

many advantages, had Its disadvan
