POUND LEMON
18
RAISED HERE
A very large lemon was handed
the Tlmoe-Recorder by Capt. John
A. Cobb Monday, the fruit being
grown In his own yard. The sample
weighed a trifle less than two
pounds and measured 15 1-2 Inches In
circumference. Miss Martha Cobb la
the custodian of the shrub, which Is
some seven feet high.
So far this season 35 pounds of
lemons have been gathered from this
one tree, the smallest weighing a
little over a pound. It la known
as the Ponderosa variety, the shrub
having been purchased by Capt Cobb
at the Macon Fair some seven years
ago. In the summer and fall the
tree Is left outside, but In the winter
it is put In a pit and protected from
the cold. It grows In a tub.
The large lemons somewhat re
semble grape fruit at first glance, but
a second look corrects the Impres
sion. Though Its size differentiates
It from an ordinary lemon ot com'
merce. It yet retains Its proportion.
Excellent lemonade Is made from
these huge lemons. They are I
splendid for preserving and for
flavoring, their bulk making them
especially desirable along these lines.

REMOVES THE CAUSE
OF CATARRH
No remedy that does not entirely remove the cause of Catarrh from the
blood will ever make a permanent cure of the trouble, Just as long as the
circnlation remains contaminated with the impurities and catarrhal matters
which produce the trouble, the mucous membranes or inner linings of the
body will be kept in a state of irritation and disease. Sprays, lotions and
other local applications will sometimes temporarily relieve the tight, full
feeling in the head, buzzing noises in the ears, uncoufoitabic, stuffy feeling
of the nostrils, and help to loosen the mucus in the throat; but Catareh is a
constitutional blood disorder and until it has been entirely driven from the
r em there can be no permanent cure. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by removing
cause from the blood. It attacks the disease ot its head and by thor
oughly purifying and cleansing the circulation, and ridding it of every par-
tide of impurity, and at the 6ame time enriching the blood, allows the
inflamed and irritated membranes to heal, improves the general health, and
stops every 'disagreeable symptom. S. S. • S. reaches down to the very
bottom and leaves no trace of the disease in the system. Book on Catarrh
and any medical advice free to all who write.
, the SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
Railway people In Americus, as
elsewhere, are Interested In the
statement coming from Savannah re
garding the removal of the shops
ot the Coast Line Railway from
that city to Waycross. This fact Is a
foregone conclusion, and the main
shops of that great system, represent
ing nu Investment ot two million dot
lars will be located 'In the thrifty
little city down among the pines.
A number of Americus machinists
and those In other departments of
railway employment are already at
work In the Waycross shops.
Some time ago It was reported that
the company was to uentralize the
entire system at Waycross, remov
ing the general offices In time from
Wilmington..
This process was to be worked out
gradually, according to the rumor
and Waycross, which is the logical
center ot the system, with eight lines
of the road radiating from It i
hub, was to be the heart of the
operating and traffic organizations.
The shops at Waycross cover an
area of 160 acres. >
In the yards there are thirty miles
of tracks with a reserve storage
capacity for 1,500 cars. Twenty
buildings are embraced in the com-,
pleted establishment, comprising ev
ery machine and all equipment nec
essary for the construction of roll
ing stock as well as for the repair of
cars and locomotives.
The assembling of the forces at
Waycross, from Savannah and other
points shows clearly that the Coast
Line Is to habilitate the Waycross
shops os the main Institution and
this means that the other shops will
be either abandoned altogether
cut down to round house propor
tions.'
REGORD OF BOARD IS
POINTED WITH PRIDE
Words of Gommendation
for That Body.
The sothlng spray of Ely's Liquid
Cream Balm, used In an atomizer, is
an unspeakable relief to sufferers
from Catarrh. Some of them de
scribe It as a Godsend, and no won
der. The thick, foul discharge Is
dislodged and the patient breathes
freely, perhaps for the first time In
weeks. Liquid Cream Balm contains
all the healing, purifying elements of
the solid form, and It never falls to
satisfy. Sold by all druggists for
75c., Including spraying tube, or
mailed by Ely Bros., 56 Warren at,
New York.
MR BRITTON A PATIENT
STILL IN HOSPITAL
While in Baltimore a day or two
Blnce upon business Mr. A G. Dun'
can learned that Mr. Jack Britton,
formerly ot Americus, was at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital for treat
ment and called upon him there.
Mr. Britton Is employed by a Balti
more house, which is coring for him
In his long illness. It is said. He
has been In the hospital since March
last, nearly nine months, and hope
of his ultimate recovery Is still ex
pressed. His friends in Americus
will certainly join in such wish.
GOVEY OF SKINNERS IS
GAUGHT IN THE TOILS
Gonvlcted of Gaming in the
City Court.
A quintette of black “skinners” oc
cuplcd the mourner's bench in the
city .court Tuesday and when the
day’s harvest was ended the bunch
were ready to be measured for spring
suits, xebra cut, or else pay the
healthy Ones Imposed.
For not a mother’s son got away
from Solicitor Childers and Solicitor-
General Williams.
Jeff Bonner, Bob Clyde, Jen Jen
kins, Luther Hargrove, and Burton
Bryant made up the personel of the
bunch who had looked upon the cards
so unwisely.
On a calm Sunday In summer Chief
Feagln while cruising along Mucka-
lee’s stormy banks, came upon a black
flock of skinners, catching tho out
fit dead to rights. He cornered them
with his gun and arrested the whole
party.
Other officers went to the rescue,
and the bunch of twelve or firtccn ne
gro gamblers were marched under a
gun muzxle to jail. '^5
Some entered pleas of guilty and
settled up at once. Tho qKjff'ette
tried yesterday decided to wait and
risk chances with a jury. Sonic of
them were flned $60 and $60 each,
while old Offeqders got a straight
shot for tho county gang.
None ot the alleged blind tiger
cases wore tried'yesterday.
Times-Recorder:—In these days
when there Is so much proneness on
the part of many to give ‘adverse
criticism to public servants, it should
afford onr people pleasure to have
an Instance at home where they can
say with a unanimous voice "Well
done good and faithful servants.
Having served our people faithfully
for over twenty-Ove years as a Coun
ty Commissioner, thereby being well
Informed 'as to the trials, responsi
bilities and importance of the posi
tion, 1 (rust will be s sufficient ex
cuse for Baying a few words in com
mendation of the services of the
Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues of Sumter County,
who have just completed their four
years term, composed ot N. A. Roy,
W. L. Thomas, R. M. Andrews, J. L.
Chambliss, and A. T. Johnson.
Air. Johnson, after three and
half years service, resigned and Mr.
Frank Sheffield was appointed for the
unexplred term and has made a faith
rul and competent member of the
Board.
Now as to what has been done and
what has been accomplished for the
County, by the retiring Board of Com
missioners.
They paid for establishing the
Third District Agricultural College
in our county $33,333.33.
A steel bridge and turnpike at
Guerry's bridge $10,000. The first
steel bridge erected In the county.
In completing equipment for the
road gang for mules, scrapes, tools,
tents, bedding, etc., making It one ot
the very best equipped gangs In the
state $5,000 was spent
They have paid aanuallr to the
City Hospital, a worthy and beneficial
Institution, that deserves the en
couragement of our fellow citizens,
$500.
They have given annually to our
military company $100. The city
also gives likewise for this propose.
And here let me say our people have
never fully realized the value of
good military organisation in our
midst, as a preventative of serious
trouble, which may any day and In
an unexpected manner come to us.
They have given during their term
to the Ladles' Benevolent Aid So
ciety, a charitable association that
has relieved much suffering among
our poor $240.
In repalrng, painting, etc., of the
Court House, $1,500.
They made many new public roads,
put others In thorough condition and
carried out a system ot road-work-
Ing that their predecessors had In
augurated, that If continued and
given proper support by our people
Sumter county will In a few years,
have a system ot publlc < roads infer
ior to none In the state.
In addition to all ot this, they
have paid every debt due by the
County and turned over to their suc
cessors a handsome balance In the
county treasury.
I know our people will feel like
lifting their hats to the retiring
Board of County Commissioners, say
ing, ‘TVe thank'you for the valuable
and efficient services you have ren
dered us, and wish you all a happy
and prosperous new year.”
Now as to the new Board of Com
missioners: Frank Sheffield, chair
man, J. F. Bolton, secretary; Thos.
B. Hooks; A. F. Hodges, H. C. Webb.
In the above you have an active,
competent business board who are
entering upon their arduous and res
ponsible duties with a determination
to carry on the good work for the
general good of the county. What they
need Is the hearty cooperation of our
people and no stint to the financial
assistance necessary to make their
work effective, at this time by the
bond election.
Our greatest need at this time Is
good public roads. When we have
them all over the county It will be
an Incentive for white people to re
turn to farm life and when we can
say there is not a farm in Sumter
county of over live hundred acres
and every farm occupied by a pros
perous. contented white family. Then
Sumter county will be a part of
what the Creator Intended Southwes
tern Georgia to be “the Garden Spot
of the World." Respectfully,
JOHN A COBB.

Only Gondition is That Improvement in Business Act
ivity Keeps Up-High Officials of Road Spend
Morning in Americus and Discuss Situation.
Chicago News.
The average man will go through
anything for his wife—Including her
fortune.
The first time a man makes love
he’s afraid tho girl won't believe
him; ever afterward that she will.
If men could get os excited ovor
how well their wives ought to be
treated os their dogs, tho world would
be full of good husbands.
“As soon as business conditions'
warrant, the Seaboard will restore
the Americus shops to full time and
full force. This business Improve
ment has begun, and if the wave con
tinues, the result desired will be
reached in the near future.”
This statement was made by Gen,
cral Superintendent Chas. H. Hix, of
the Seaboard, Monday to a repres
entative of the Times-Recorder. The
message was full of encouragement
to the people of Americus and will
no doubt be accepted at Its face
value by the public.
As announced in Sunday's Times-
Recorder, Oen. Supt. Hix, Supt. ot
Motive power A. J. Poole and Divis
ion Supt. Grlmshaw, came to Ameri
cus' Sunday night, and spent yester
day morning in looking over the
shops and In conference later with
Pres. Allen, of the Board of Trade,
Mr. Frank Sheffield, Mr. Crawford
Wheatley, Mr. Chas. L. Ansley, May
or Felder, Col. Sheffield and other
distinguished citizens.
While no statement was made as
to the object of the visit except In a
general way, It was doubtless duo
to the complaints which have been
made about the cutting down ot the
shops force to a very low point, thus
crippling Americus merchants, and
to the complaints that Americus citi
zens were laid off at the road’s shops
here, but were told that they could
get a place by moving to Jackson
ville. This of course would work a
very great hardship on those who
have bought their homes here and
have become Identified with Ameri
cus. It was also said that the cost
of living In Jacksonville Is much
higher than in Americus.
Gen. Supt. Hix, as well as his com
panions, radiated geniality yesterday
and were anxious to state their side
of the case to the people ot Ameri
cus. Supt Hix declared that when
ever a question arose between the
Seaboard and the business men ot
Americus that he would be more than
scs. Tho Seaboard Is not treating
Americus differently from Its other
shop sites, the force being reduced
everywhere in even greater propor
tion.
"The Fernandlna shops were mov
ed to Jacksonville, and many of tha
old employes did not caro to go with
them so that a scarcity of labor was
created. This made It possible to
give employment to those laid off
elsewhere who desired to move to
Jacksonville. But no work that could
be done here was taken from this
division and sent to Jacksonville.
“We wanted to meet the people of
Americus and explain the situation,
feeling suro that when It appeared
that no discrimination had been made
that any resentment over the de
crease In tho force at the shops would
disappear.
'Just as soon as conditions are a
little further Improved It .Is the In
tention of tho Seaboard to Increase
the force at tho shops, and to keep
up this plan until the Bhops are
running to their full capacity.
May Build Warehouses
Another good which will possibly
result from tho visit of the high offi
cials of tho Seaboard to Americus, Is
the building along Finn street ot a
number of brick warehouses by the
railroad company. This Idea was
presented to Mr. Hix by Mr. Allen,
who explained bow much it would
benefit tho road, os well as the city.
Mr. Hix promised to tako up the
question at once.
Tho visit of tho Seaboard officials
will certainly do much to heal any
breach which may have been mani
fested recently in tho most cordial
relations existing heretofore between
tho Seaboard and Americus. It Is an
evidence that the city’s cry has been
heard and that means that the diffi
culties will bo remedied If possible.
Americus has now tho promise that
tho forco at tho shops will be In
creased shortly in caso business con-
. dlttons continue to Improve, which
glad to come from Portsmouth to seems assured. It Is some help to
meet with the Board of Trade and know that In the near future relief
freely and frankly discuss the ques- )s promised from tho present very
tlons involved.
Explaining Conditions
"The Seaboard went Into the hands
of a receiver, as you all know,” sold
Supt Hix yesterday. "Gross
lngs fell off badly and It was
unsatisfactory conditions at tho shops.
There will bo no need for any fur
ther exodus of employes, as their
services will doubtless be In demand
again soon. All of which will be
earn- highly gratifying both to tho em-
abso-1 ployes in question, and to tho who!*
lutcly necessary to cut down expen- city.
GENTRAL TO BEGIN ON
BIG SHOPS AT MAGON
A Million Will Be Expended
There.
Orders were given Tuesday for
resumption ot work upon the immense
new shopB of the .Central of Georgia
Railway at Macon, upon which work
was suspended a year ago- when the
effects of the panic, and adverse rail
way legislation in the state, throttled
all enterprises.
Hundreds of Idle men will thus bo
put to work upon excavations for the
ground work, while soon there will bo
plenty of additional work for skilled
labor as well.
The original appropriation for
this work was one million dollars, but
about the time the work was under
good headway the depression ci
along and only about half of the im
provements originally contemplated
was completed.
But even this caused an expendi
ture of three quarters ot a million
dollars, though intended that only
half a million should be expended.
But the Improvements developed new
Ideas as the plans were carried out,
and the additional expenditure was
justified.

It is Intended that a quarter million

The work must be done, and, like all
the Central does. It must be done well
no matter tho cost .
