Mr. C. F. Ware died at 6 o'clock
Thursday morning at his farm near
Americus, the end following an Ill
ness of ten days with pneumonia.
The end came quite unexpectedly, as
during the past several days marked
Improvement was noted.
It Is possible that somo heart af
fection, with other complications,
hastened the end.
Mr. 'Ware was stricken suddenly,
pneumonia, It is said, resulting from
over-exertion upon his farm where he
was putting out peach trees.
After a few days Illness he ral
lied considerably, and his family, who
hastened here from their home in
Dayton, Ohio, were pleased at his
apparent recovery, and all except
Mrs. Ware had returned home.
Mr. Ware was a valued and pro
gressive citizen and his death will be
greatly deplored.
Several years ago he purchased
large landed Interests near Americus
and planted one of the finest peach-
orchards In southern Georgia. A man
of Indomltablo energy, be made a
success of the enterprise and his
farm Is one of the best In the state.
The deceased was near sixty years
of age, and Is survived by his wife
nnd four sons, the latter well known
business men of Dayton, Ohio. The
remains, accompanied by the strick
en wife, were sent to the Ohio city
yesterday for interment there.
Many friends accompanied the
mains to the station here and
pressed sympathy In the loss of this
valued citizen.

Carnegie Library Will De
Ready By March 15
Due to the delay In getting lumber,
the force at work on the Carnegie LI
brary lias been somewhat small for
the past two weeks, bpt beginning to
morrow the old-time activity will pre
vail. The contracting firm of Little
& Phillips, which has the work, bad
anticipated being able to complete the
job by March 1, and but for unavoid
able delays would have done
About March 15 It Is believed that the
building will be turned over to the
Directors as a finished Job..
Yesterday the plastering on the
first floor had been completed, and
tinners and stonemen were at work
on the front of the .building, the
latter engaged in cleaning the orna
mental stone. Tomorrow the finish'
ed wood work will be started and
carried forward os rapidly as the
lumber can be obtained.
Contractor Phillips stated yesterday
that the weather had been even more
open than he had anticipated, It hav
ing been necessary to atop work for
only three or four days. He was
much disappointed in not being able
to get through by March 1, as he
had Intended, the delay being how
ever unavoidable on his part. The
time limit In the contract Is May 1
and this will be anticipated by some
six weeks.

"Have you a receipt?"
"It seems to me I have, but I dou't remember what I did with it."
IVe have no record of payment, and unless you can produce our ack

But It might have been a different story had the bill been paid with a

The Secret of Long Life
A French scientist has discovered
one secret of long life. His method
deals with tho blood. But long ago
millions of Americans bad proved
Electric Bitters prolongs life and
makes It worth living. It purifies,
enriches and vitalises the blood, re
builds wasted nerve ' cells. Imparts
life and tone to tho entire system.
Its a godsend to weak, sick and de
bilitated people. "Kidney trouble had
blighted my life for months,” writes
W. M. Sherman, of Gushing, Me., “but
Electric Blttors cured me entirely.”
Anyhow, a stage hero is about as
real as the other kind.
FARMS ARE WIPED OUT
IN MARCH OF FLAMES
Destruction in South Geor
gia Great.
Reports reaching Americus of rag-e
lug forest fires In the vicinity of Moul
trie are truly appalling. Miles of
territory havo been burned over dur
ing the past three or four days and
the destruction of farms and livestock
will exceed hundreds of thousands of
dollars In the aggregate.
Up to yesterday no rain had fallen In
t hat section in four months, and the
dry woods burned like tinder, fanned
by the fierce winds that have pro
vailed.
On some farms not n house has
been left standing.
The buildings were far from any
woods but high winds carried coals
from burning trees setting barns,
stockades, residences, smoke houses,
and tenant houses simultaneously
They were all destroyed in a few
minutes and much stock which lie
came demoralized ran among tho
burning buildings.
The corn, oats, hay meat, etc., on
these farms alone, with the fences
and houses, Is a loss of several thou
sand dollars.
Stacked hay in fields Is among the
surest victims of the fires. Young
lambs, calves, pigs and doubtless
much grown stock have been destroy
ed, for the forests containing most
stock Is where the fire has raged In
greatest fury. It is impossible
to put any estimate on the loss.
PEAGHES ARE SAFE. IN
OPINION OF FRUIT MEN
The Best Fertilizers for Com
That the yield of corn from the average farm can be greatly In
creased by intelligent and liberal fertilization hat been repeatedly
demonstrated. Large crops of good com result from preparing'the
land well, using the right kind and quantity of fertilizer, good seed
and proper cultivation.

Atlanta, Feb. 6.—J. E. Paullln, one
of the leading growers of the Fort
Gaines territory, called at the Geor
gla Fruit Exchange this week. He
reported that his orchard was In
cellent condition, and produced seV'
oral peach buds which showed that
the fruit had suffered no injury.
Mr. Paullln said that the condition
of the peach orchards all through his
territory, which Is In Clay county, was
uniformly good. Practically all the
growers there are members of the
Exchange.
Mr. Paullln said that buds which
had boe n injured by the cold were
brown Inside, and that those not in
jured were green. Those ho showed
were uninjured.
Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson says that reports received
from every section of the State were
to the effect that no Injury had been
done tho crop, and that the recent
cold weather had had the effect of
checking premature development and
guarding against cold.
Ho said that whatever blooms there
were were diseased ones, and that the
trees were better off without them. He
declared that the outlook was for
large yield.

EG6S BY THE GARLOAD
SHIPPED TO THE WEST
The industry of the Americus hen
and her prolific slaters out in the
country renders Impossible here an
egg famine of huge proportions which
prevails elsewhere, notably In Atlan
ta, which for once in its career, at
least. Is caught in a shell game.
For the egg market there has been
"cornered” and not an egg Is to be
had at any price,' not even for
eggnog, or egg flip.
Two days ago a Birmingham man
struck the town and quietly bought
Atlanta's eggs—every egg, good
bad, and everyone knowns there are
some bad eggs In Atlanta.
This eggstraordlnary purchase
amounted to two and a half carloads,
equivalent to 13,860 dozen, or 166,320
eggs, not counting the bad ones. The
price thus paid was nearly $4,000, and
Atlanta was thus stripped of her
feathers—those in the eggs.
And this huge omelette was ship
ped away to Chicago.
There has been an egg famine In
Cincinnati, Chicago, and other cities,
and speculators have bought all the
eggs obtainable to secure the high
prices existing elsewhere.
Monday and Tuesday eggs sold In
ClncinnmU at 15 cents apiece, and
scarce at that price. In Chicago the
famine was Just as keen and felt
Just as heavily.
Monday operations were started
against Atlanta’s egg supply. The
last crate that the commission mer
chants possessed was taken, oven the
retail market was taken, and Atlan
ta stands today In a more cgglcss
condition than U had been for years.
In Americus eggs aro plentiful at
25 cents per dozen In the stores, and
even that price ts whittled by the man
on the wagon.
