St. Louis Man Impressed
With Americus
For the purpose of organizing an
insurance company with a capital
stock of $100,000, Mr. ,W. Scott
Thorne of St. Louis was In Americus
Tuesday. He Is an experienced In
surance man, and having decided
spend the winter In the South, and
hearing of the many advantages, both
In climate and location, of this city,
decided to come here first. He dis
cussed his plans with a number of
influential citizens yesterday, but
nothing definite was decided upon. It
Is expected that Mr. Thprne will re
turn in a short while and take up the
matter more in earnest He believes
that a small Insurance company can
save money for Its members and
keep all the money right In Georgia
and surrounding states.
For
Lame
Back
TEACHERS AND VETS
WAITING FOR GASH
State is Very Short of
Coin Now.
An aching back is instantly relieved by an
'application of Sloan’s Liniment.
j This liniment, takes the place of massage and
is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates—
without rubbing—through the skin and muscu
lar tissue right to the bone, quickens the blood,
^relieves congestion, and gives permanent as'
’well as temporary relief.
Veterans all over the state have
been clamoring for the payment
their fourth quarters' pension money,
which the quarterly payment law
requires shall be paid before Decern
her 10. The amount Is approximate
ly $232,000, but there Is only $66,000
In the treasury today. A sufficient
amount may come in to enable the
state to meet the payment by that
date, but if it does not the Governor
still has the tight to borrow $150,-
000 to help meet the payments, as
he has only borrowed $50,000 to date.
Bnt what he is going to do about
meeting the payments for public
schools Is a problem. This years'
appropriations to schools was $2,000,
000, of which up to date only $700,
000 has been'paid. Returns from
taxes will begin to come in about
Dec. .1, but It Is doubtful if anything
like sufficient returns will be received
to meet this obligation before some
time in February.
THREE WEEKS IS GIVEN
^ SCHOOLS AT XMAS
Holiday In Abundance Is
Allowed
Always most liberal in giving holt
day to, the public schools of the city
at Christmas, the Board of Educa
tion surpassed Itself this time by
voting for a recess of almost three
weeks. The Board met last night
and passed first upon the Thanksgiv
ing vacation, voting to close t!)e city
schools today until Monday next,
30th. For the Christmas holidays
the schools will close down on Dec
ember 18th and will not re-open un
til January 4th, 1909, thus affording
a vacation of three weeks.
WEDDING A1 NOON ONE

Growing C’obless Corn.
And now it is the cobless corn. A
year ago H. J. Sconce and Taylor
Garlough of Vermillion county, pur
chased a quantity of seed corn In In
diana. In the shipment was a freak
ear, which Instead of thft ordinary
cob, had a core of husk, the grains
being neatly wrapped on the soft
foundation like peas In a pod. Air.
Sconce was Impressed with the novel
ty of the field, and decided to plant
all the kernels found on the freak
ear, to his surprise, the ears pro
duced this, fall were found to be ex
act reproductions of the single ear.
He has decided to plant more of the
conu next year, an'd will endeavor to
Improve it.
The ears produced this year yield
ed as much corn as those provided
wtth'Afbs, while the kernels were
large and solid. The ears were well
filled, kernels even growing among

SUMTER TEACHERS
PAID PROMPTLY
Late Payments Oy State
Do Not Incouvenfence
In reference to a news story In'
the Tlmes-Recorder of yesterday to
the effect that public school teach
ers In Georgia were waiting for
cash, along with the veterans, Supt.
Moore stated yesterday that the pub
lic school teachers of Sumter were
being paid promptly. He had Just
received from the state treasurer two
checks for the teachers amounting to
over $1,000. That Sumter county Is
in such a good fix in this matter is
due to the ncciimuiatlon of n “sink
ing fund”, years ago, by which a
surplus was provided In case thero
was any delay on the part of the
state in making payments. Funds
nre already on hand to Jaat until
early in the spring. Some other
counties in the state took the same
course as did Sumter, and as a
suit Is now ablo to meet all pay
ments to public school teachers
promptly.

Mnny Americas People Fall to Realize
the Seriousness

Backache Is so deceptive.
It comes and goes—keeps

Here's an Americus cose to prove
Mrs. .C. W. Hill, living at 209
Mayo street, Americus, Ga. says: "I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills, and
have found them to be a very good
remedy. I had been troubled by a
dull aching through the small of # my
back for somo time and my kidneys
did not act as they should. Being
advised to try'Doan’s Kidney Pills, I
sent to Dodson’s Pharmacy and ob
tained a box. Since using them I am
feeling a great deal better and have
no hesitancy In recommending Doan’s
Kidney Pills to other sufferers.”

HIS STORY IS SALTY
BUT LIKELY IS TRUE
on
At the Seaboard's terminal In Sav
annah a cargo of salt is being un
loaded in quantity sufficient to. save
the country, being the largest ever
brought to Georgia. The quantity Is
9,072,000 pounds, being 4,050 gross
tons, or 4,536 net tons of 2,000
pounds, equal to 453 carloads of ten
tons each. If these cars were sent
..... . ,out in trains of twenty cars each
ilbltlon at a country fair at Sid--they would make twenty-two, trains,
and attracted much and if run thirteen mileB apart the
line would extend from Savannah to
j Atlanta; or If made up. Into one train

attention.
It would extend 3 5-8 miles.
Somebody has found a Russian 135!
years old. Pause, gentle reader, and Chicago News,
think of Kving In Russia 135 years! The man who Is looking for trou-
—Toledo Blade. ble always finds It—and then some.
Interested parties in the application
made to the Georgia Railroad Com
mission for a reduction in gas rates
in Americus, were yesterday notified
that a hearing would be accorded both
sides on or about Dec, 3. The gas
company will he represented by
Messrs. Frank Hooper nnd ,W. P.
Wallis, and the Board of Trade, which
started the movement, for n reduc
tion, by Shipp & Sheppard.
At a a meeting of the Board' of
Trndo held on August 11, a commit
tee was appointed to secure if pos
sible the reduction of the price of gas
to such n rate as would place Am
ericus on an equal footing with other
cities.” Application was made to the
stato railroad commission for the re
lief sought, and nfter giving notice
to tho gas company, tho commission
announced that a hearing would bo
fixed for a later date.
Somo confusion exists in the gas
rate proposition just now. Under the
Dodson contract the rate is to be
$1.50 and $1.25 as soon as the new
company takes over the plant, a
thing which Is promised for the near
future. The City Council has also
passed an ordinance reducing the
price of gas to tho figures named, re
gardless of who owns the plant. .With
three separate movements on to get
the reduction, results are expected
along one line or another at an early
date.
“GOOD COOK THE BEST WIFE”
Babb! Levy Says Culinary Abilities
Should Count 75 Per Cent
Chicago, Nov. 24.—Ability to cook
well, 75 per cent; physical beauty, 20
per cent; dress, 5 per cent. This is
tho score by which tho modern young
woman should be judged regarding
her qualifications for marriage, ac
cording to the views of Rabbi Felix A.
Levy, of Emanuel Temple.
"The woman who can cook well In
variably makes the best wife,” says
Rabbi Levy. “Too much attention Is
paid nowadays to beauty. A pretty
face is a big asset to a woman, but
it is as 75 is to 20 when compared to
her ability to set a first-class meal
on tho table.”
