THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY, JULY 31. 1908.
CONTAINS
• NO MERCURY
* Medicines containing Mercury are often given to persons suffering with
Contagious Blood Poison, and so powerful is the action of this drug that it
frequently removes the symptoms in a short while, and shuts the disease
up in fhe system to do greater damage to the delicate internal members.
When, however, the treatment is left off, the disease always returns, and the
patient finds that his health has been injured by this powerful mineral, and
he is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma
tism, etc. The action of S. S. S. is entirely different. It contains no
Mercury, nor any other harmful drug, but is made entirely of healing,
cleansing roots and herbs. It cures Contagious Blood Poison by removing
the virus from the blood. It searches out every particle of the poison
and does not leave the least trace for future outbreaks. S. S. S., in
addition to curing the disease, builds up and strengthens every part of the
body. Its fine tonic effects tone up the stomach and digestion, improve the
appetite and regulate the entire system. Home treatment book containing
valuable information about the different stages of the disease and any
medical advice desired sent free to all who write.

Headquarters for the best of everything in the Whiskey Line.
We will mail price list on request.
President J. M. Collum of the Third
District Agricultural School, assures
Americus that this chool will open
Sept. 1, on time, and urges that stu
dents send In their applications as
soon as possible.
Moreover, Prof. Collum expects that
a direct appropriation may be made
for the schools, believing that the
farmers resent even an apparent tax
being placed on them In the advance
of the tag tax rate as proposed, but
even if the appropriation is not made,
the Americus school will run.
Two ways are suggested by Prof.
Collum to raise the money for the
direct appropriation to the schools.
One Is a tax of $25 on dealers in
“near beer,” and the second Is a
change in the method of coal oil In
specting which would save the salar
ies of many Inspectors.
President Collum has prepared the
following statement for the Tlmes-
Reeorder.
Why Senators Voted Nay
“The failure of the fertilizer tag
bill to pass must not be cbnstrued to
mean that those senators who voted
against the bill, are opposing the
Agricultural Schools, on the other
hand many of them are strong friends
of the schools. They would have
voted against the bill had It provided
that the funds arising from the sale
of tags, was to be appropriated
the Common Schools. They opposed
it as class legislation.
"That the net proceeds from the
sale of fertilizer tags under the ex
isting law may be tnrned Into the
common school fund, or any fund,
Is hardly probable. The House Is on
record as favoring, not only giving the
proceeds now arising from the sale
of tags at 10 cents per ton, but also
favoring the raise to 25 cents per
ton.
An Appropriation Possible
“While there are only about 20 days
of the session remaining, there Is am
ple time to tack on a direct appropria
tion to the general appropriation bill,
that has not yet come up in either
House, or the Senate. Friends of tns
schools already have the matter in
hand, and it is believed that the Gen
eral Assembly will be willing to sup
port the schools through direct ap
propriations, and If they are thus
provided for, there is every reason to
believe that this will be best, as the
farmers, for whom the schools hav
been created, will feel more kindly
toward them, as It matters not wheth
er the Increase in the fertilizer tax
added to the cost of fertilizers
not, they would have felt that the
burden was on the farmer.
Other Ways to Raise Money
“While it is claimed that the ap
propriations can not be Increased un
der the tax limit, there are other
wavs to raise additional revenue. A
tax of $25 on every dealer in "near
beer,” would raise enough money to
ran the schools In addition to what
we now receive. Cutting out all the
oil Inspectors that are scattered
throughout the State, and have all
oils Inspected In Atlanta, would add
quite a sum.
"The difficulties are going to he
overcome. Say to the people that
the school at Americus will open
Sept. 1 without doubt We will have
all the feed stuffs that we will need.
The academic building and the dormi
tory have been equipped and our
shops are the very best equipped in
the state. ' We need only money to
pay teachers and for light and wa
ter, and there Is not any doubt about
us getting money for these purposes.
“J would urge prospective stu
dents to send In their applications,
for the school will certainly open
Sept. 1. We are not expecting any
very great embarrassment,"

I FRIEND 1
Montclair, N. J., July 27.—(Special)
Count Jose Pereira Mourao, a self-
announced high-flying Portugese no
bleman who arrived in this country
three months ago, in which time he
is said to have fallen in love with \a
pretty American girl and spent $10,-
000 at fashionable hotels and New
York roof gardens, came to grief
here because he was about to depart
for Europe without paying a bill of
$57 which he had incurred at the
Hotel Montclair.
The Count was arrested early this
morning by Chief of Police Gallagher
as he was eating his breakfast'
the Monomonock Inn at Caldwell.
When informed that he was under
arrest, he requested the Chief to ac
company .him to Birltendene, the home
of Charles R. Leaycraft, where he
had been a welcome guest during
his stay In Montclair and Calawell.
Mr. leaycraft was surprised to see his
noble acquaintance in the custody of
the policeman, but when Count Mou
rao stated his dilemma Mr. Leaycraft
refused to advance the money neces
sary to pay the bill.
The Chief arraigned his' prisoner
before Recorder Yost. The Count
admitted owing the bill, and, produc
ing his wallet, drew out $100 and of
fered to settle. Manager Paul Wil
cox, who appeared for the hotel com
pany, accepted the money and the
charge was withdrawn.
The arrest sadly disarranged Count
Mourao's plans, however. He had
engaged passage on the Kaiser Wil
helm II., and at the time that he
was being arraigned before the Re
corder, the ship was leaving the pier
In Hoboken. The Count was sadly
out at this contretemps, but telephon
ed to the steamship company and
made arrangements to leave for Cher
bourg on Thursday.
At the Monomonock Inn.,, where
the Count had been a guest since
leaving the Montclair a few weeks
ago, he was conspicuous. His clothes
were of the latest cut, and he fre
quently made trips with hired auto
mobiles. A few weeks ago he was
sued for an account for automobiles
aggregating $200. He paid the bill.
A possible reason for the Count's
remaining In quiet Montclair and
Caldwell was sought in his visits
to the leaycraft home. It was said
that ho had fallen In love with Mr.
Leaycraft's handsome daughter, but
both Mr. and Mrs. Leaycraft denied
this afternoon that there was any
thing serious between the young
people.
Mr. Leaycraft said Count Mourao
came here about three months ago
with letters of Introduction from
well known people In Europe. He
had drafts for $10,000, which he
promptly cashed and hegaft to spend
with a liberal hand. The $10,000
came to an end a few weeks ago, and
then along came a letter of credit for
$1,100. According to the statement
of the Count in the police court today
this sum had been spent in four days
After his discharge the Count left
for New York. At the Monomonock
Inn there is a bill of $140 to be paid
hut the Count, hut no fear was ex
pressed there today that he would
attempt to evade payment.

Americus consumers of the “near"
beers and the stomach suds are doubt-
unaware of the degree of "near-
s" contained In a pint bottle of the
temperance (?) beverage. Whether
or not it will "make drunk come”
still a debated question.
l a report just issued State
Chemist Stallings presents a number
of Interesting analysis showing per
centage of alcohol contained In near
beers and other prohibition drinks now
sold In Georgia.
These analyses show that the near-
beers have from .30 to 2.40 percen
tage of alcohol. Some of the ciders,
is reported, have 5.90 and 7:30
percentage of alcohol.
Twenty-five of these drinks are des
ignated as follows:
Schooner Brew .33, Quaker Temper

iser beer 1.C7, Bud 1.90, Mead 1.80;

It Is surprising how near a young

Fearful lest the 10 cents tag tax
which now goes to the support of the
agricultural colleges be taken .away,
Prof. R. E. White of the Third District
Agricultural College, has asked that a
special meeting of the Board of Trade
be called for Monday night to take ac
tion on the possibility named. It will
be asked that a representative bo sent
from Americus to the legislature to
make before the proper committee an
emphatic protest against the elimina
tion of this fund, when the occasion
arises.
Prof. White has learned that there
is a bill Introduced, or about to be In
troduced, seeking to turn this 10 cents
per ton tax on fertilizers Into the com
mon school fund. Ill view of the un
favorable vote on the proposition to
Increase the tag tax, it is feared that
there is danger of the agricultural
schools being deprived of tile little
they now have.
President Collum, of the Third Dis
trict Agricultural College, Is out of
the city, and In view of the develop
ments of Wednesday Prof. White does
not want any chance overlooked
block any such legislation.
