FOR
RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which
gradually gets into the circulation because of indigestion, constipation, weak
kidney action, and other irregularities of the system which are wmetimes
considered of no importance. This unc acid causes an inflamed and irritated
condition of the blood, and the circulation instead of nourishing the d ‘Serent
portions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, ““sete*.
add joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which itisfUled. Rheu
matism can only be cured by a thorough demising of the blood, and this is
lust what S S S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutral-
LTng the uric acid and driving it from the blood, eSectually and surely
removes the cause. S. S. S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that
instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony thoughout the sys
tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and
vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suffering caused by this
disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood pur er, is the surest and
safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Bo^a on Rheumatism and

“I feel that there has been no mis
take made in putting the Wirz mon
ument In Richmond, except that I
think Georgia ought to have had It.
But I am doubly glad that It has not
gone to Andersonville.”
This was the sentiment expressed
by Mrs. J. E. Mathis, who returned
early Sunday morning from Savan
nah, where she was in attendance on
the ,U D. C. convention.
Though defeated in her plans to
bring the Wirz monument to Ameri-
cus, Mrs. .Mathis was not downcast
over the result, believing that the
first great duty had been done—keep
ing the monument away from Ander
sonville.
From Mrs. Mathis’ description of
the contest over the monument site,
there were not many dull moments.
The matter was scheduled tor Wed
nesday morning, but was not dispos
ed of. Every time there was a lull In
the proceedings on subsequent days
the question became immediately
live one.
It was only on the last day, after
a number of the delegates had gone,
that the final vote was taken. Many
supporters of Americus and Macon
had gone, while the Andersonville
crowd hung on like grim death. This
was the crowd which took it to Rich-
mond.
“If we had taken the vote on Wed
nesday I believe Americus would have
won,” said Mrs. Mathis , Monday.
"The subject was threshed out every
day until feeling was at high tension.
The Andersonville crowd fought hard
and bitterly. They did everything
possible to carry their point. This
(lid-not worry our side much, as we
believed we had a sufficient number
to move the monument from Ander
sonville. The vote to move was 94
to 72. Macon divided our forces.
"When Macoii saw that she would
lose, Mrs. Lamar gave way to Ameri
cus in a brief speech, but owing to the
fact that the question was put almost
Immediately, many of the Macon sup
porters did not understand what had
been done, and Americus only got 21
votes. Then Americus voted for Ma
con on the last ballot, the vote being
36 for Macon and 40 for Anderson-
vllle.
“It was not known if Richmond
would accept the monument and pro
vide a site. After awhile a message
was received that the R. E. Lee Camp
would see the proper officials about
the matter. But I do not anticipate
any difficulty in getting a site there.
“I am gratified that the monument
was removed from Andersonville. I
am glad that my fight was won that
far. Americus was a secondary con
sideration with the Site Committee.
I was sorry to see It go outside of
Georgia, but I feel that I have done
a good year’s work in moving it from
Andersonville.
"Richmond was the Capital of the
Confederacy, and is a proper place for
the monument. It will be an object of
Interest there. It was a principle for
which we contended In changing the
site from Andersonville, and after this
was accomplished, the rest did not
matter so much.
"To those who supported the claims
fo Americus we express our sincere
thanks. < The compliment was appre
ciated by the Americus chapter. ,We
couldn't win everything, though, It
seemed.’’
GRADING Of NEW ROAD
BEGINS IN EARNEST
Buena Vista to Gonnect
With A. B. & A.
Americus’ little neighbor, Buena
Vista, evidencing decidedly more en
terprise than her larger- sister In
the way of getting railroads, began
work vesterday upon the short line
which will connect that town with the
independent A. B. & A. system.
It is only seventeen miles from
Buena Vista to the A.B. & A., and
the plucky citizens of that town have
put up the money—$50,000,—to in
sure the building of the road.
It is only twenty miles from Ameri
cus to the A. B. & A., and—lAmericus
sits supinely.
Citizens ot Buena Vista here yester
day stated that work upon the con
necting link of seventeen miles had
begun, and that Marion’s little capi
tal would soon be in touch with the
outer world by a new railway line.
The Buena Vista extension will tap
the A B. & A. main line a few miles
west of Oglethorpe. It will he com
pleted early in the new year.
The A. B. & A., It Is suspected, con
templates a still further extension of
this branch line./ It is suggested that
it will be pushed on to Richland, on
the Seaboard, and thence to Cuthbert,
where It will connect with the new
G. F. & A. road.
The Georgia, Florida & Alabama Is
already completed to Carabelle, Fla.,
and the A. B. & A. will thus secure
an outlet to the Gulf.

A valuable horse belonging to Mr.
R. E. Allison died yesterday from
lockjaw as the result of Injuries sus
tained a few nights before from fall
ing Into a ditch left open on Church
street. Gas connections were being
made at the new residence of MIbs
Lula Hay, and It Is Bald by occu
pants of the vehicle and others that
the ditch was left open that night
without signal lights to warn vehi
cles or pedestrians. Mr. Allison’s car
riage, with several occupants, fell
Into the opening and some of them
were severely shaken up. The horse,
It Is said, fell backward into the
ditch and was pulled out with some
difficulty, dying yesterday from the
injuries sustained.
Pianos Tuned and Repared by Experienced
Workmen. We guarantee their work.
Exhibits have not been coming In
to the Board of Trade as rapidly as
desired, and the prospects do
not seem to be flattering that the dis
play room will be kept open.
It was expected that the great
opportunity offered growers and
nmaufacturers would he taken ad
vantage of liberally, especially as no
charge was to he made for selling
exhibits for the owners. The Board
of Trade is at the expense of paying
rent for a convenient Btoro building
on Lamar Btreet, besides a charge
for the services of an attendant.
As originally planned, it was
tended together a large collection
of products of Sumter county soil
and also of the output of factories.
Several exhibits came In, but not In
the volume expected.
It Is probable that the question
will come up at the next meeting
of the Board of Trade, to be held ear
ly in this month. ,
It would be convenient at times to
have in one place samples of the pro
ducts of the county and city to show
to visitors, but unless the exhibit
should he reasonably complete, It is
the belief ot members of the Board
of Trade that It would be entirely
useless, as to show a small lot of
products might create the Impres
sion that this Includes the posslblll
ties of the county.

Negro Tanks on “Near"
ji and Cider Mixed.
A town negro named Harris, died
early Monday morning, and while
the cause of death is unknown It may
have resulted from au overcharge of
"the near” compounded with other
long range material. Harris was
locked up Saturday night by the po
lice on the charge ot drunkenness,
but was turned out Sunday apparent
ly all right. It Is said he told the
police that he had tanked a large
quantity of near beer, mixed with
near cider, and the combination near
paralyzed him ere a near iiolleeman
got him. It Is 8aid to be no un
common thing for negroes to mix a
quart of "near” with a quart of ci
der, a combination of explosives
guaranteed to blow the swigger into
the coop like a dynamite bomb.
