This is the welcome news of
the recognition of the standing

Department at Washington, which
recognizes that. In addition to being
the leading district agricultural col

sufficient to go round and the younger

by the military encamped here during
the Spanish-American war. on the
ground now leased to the country club,
the range running up to Council's mill

The college boys are enthusiastic in
their devotion t‘o the military end of
their college life. ^An invitation has
been acceplei 1 for the corpa to visit
Cordeie on November 11th, at the Fair
there, and probably sixty boys will go.
The cadets are,desirous to get a ta3te
of reai military life by inarching the

In its military' feature, as in every

Third District College is unquestion
ably ahead of all the other district col
leges in Georgia.
WANT MINISTERS TO
EOT OUT CHEWING
NO LICENSE HAS
YET BjEN ISSUED
[apt. Cobb Waiting for Offi
cial Copy of Law.
Applicants to Carry Pistol in Public
Musi Give $100 Bond With Bonds
man Worth at Least $1,700—Ordin
ary Must Pass of Their Character.
Nobody hi Americus or Sumter cour-
lus yet secured a legal right to
carrv a pistol in the open. Of coursa,
no one ever will get the legal rigat
!o carry one concealed.
I'nder the new state law it is un
lawful to carry a weapon where It
can l>e seen unless a license so to -lo
has first been secured from the or
dinary of the county. And up to tills
time no license giving that privilege
has been issued -by Ca.pt. Cobb,
lias All the Forms on Hand.
“I have* the boo^c and the forms of
license and bond required by the
statute on hand," said Capt. Cobb yes
terday, "hut I have not yet received
3 copy of the law and will not issue
a license until I have the official copy
of the law in hand to govern men
my actions. Under the law t.ve new
statutes are supposed to be primei
and sent out within sixty days after
the legislature adjourns, so I suppose
it will not be long now before thiy
are delivered. 'Until then I will no.
be prepared to authorize any one
carry a pistol unconcealed.
"So far,” continued the ordinary,
several parties have been in to see
about getting licenses. Two or three
negroes were among them. When
called attention to the fact that they
must give bond for $100 they were
somewhat phased. I informed them,
and everybody else, that I would not
accept a bond except where the bonds
man was good Tor $1,700, that Is for
the amount of the $100 bond, plus the
big homestead allowed by law.
Hnst l’ass on Character.
Not only is the ordinary required to
get a good bond whenever he issues
a license,” continued Capt. Cobb, “but
the duty is also put upon hint ot de
terminlng whether the character of the
applicant is such that he is justified
in licensing hint to carry a weapon iu
public. Of course, a man can have a
pistol on his own premises. The law
does not take cognizance of that. So,
unless I am thoroughly satisfied that
an applicant is a law abiding man in
disposition and otherwise a man who
is to be entrusted -with jk weapon in
public, I will not issue a license.’
While the law is undoubtedly a good
one, its effectiveness is very much'
questioned. The vast majority
pistol biers will pitobably go
“totelng” them, without regard
either the new or old law. The only
thing Is that occasionally some one
will be picked up and fined for viola
tion of the new statute, who might
otherwise escape punishment at all.
BIG BARN BURNS

Large Barn on Jones Farm
Contents of Hay, Grain and Machin
ery Wholly Destroyed—Origin of
Fire Not Known But Supposed to
Have Eeen Incendiary.
Three fires in tile country near
Americus Tuesday morning swept
away a new school building, a p.au-
tation barn and contents, besides a
small dwelling and contents. The
fires were in different localities and
the losses in the aggregate without
insurance, amount to a considerable
ini.
The story of the tire near Plains, re
sulting in the burning ot a school-
house, Is told at length elsewhere.
Tluree miles east of Americus W. T.
Freeman lost a small dwelling house
by fire yesterday. The -building was
unoccupied at the time, and stored
therein was a small quantity of cot
ton and cottonseed, all of which was
lost.
The fire resulting in greatest loss
was the burning of the large barn
of Mr. George D. Jones on his farm
near DeSoto. This fire originated at
1 o'clock yesterday morning, and re-
sulted in the complete destruction of
the barn, together with ten tons hay,
300 or 400 bushels corn and consid
erable farm machinery.
The loss will amount to $1,500 or $2,-
000, perhaps, and is probably complete,
as there wa s little if any insurance.

CATARRH
A. SPECIFIC BLOOD IMPURITY
Catarrh is a deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, etc., are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous mem
branes and tissues and produces the
well known symptoms of ringing
poises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
a specific blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is

TO BRING
NOT GROWERS HERE
Board of Trade Invitation
Through Mr. Smithwich.
Mr. H. W. Smlthwick is represent
ing the Americus district at the an
nual convention of the National Nut
Growers’ Association, now In session
at Monticello, Fla.
While there Mr. -Smlthwick is the
accredited representative of the
Board of Trade, and will work to bring
tbe association to Americus for Its
next gathering, following the meeting
ot the Georgia and Florida nut grow
ers, who meet -tiere In May next.
Mr. Smlthwick will also endeavor
to bring back a number of the nut
growers at this time, working to in
duce those whoso routes lie this way
to stop over at Americus en route
home.
Mr. Smithiwick will present the fol
lowing invitation from the Board of
Trade to the association:
By special resolution the Americus
Board of Trade herewith! tenders to
you a hearty invitation to hold your
next annual convention in this city.
Americus is a city of 10,000 papula
tion, situated In tho richest and most
prosperous agricultural section
Georgia, a county that -has probably
seen a greater development, in the
past three years, by reason of Its mag-
uifleenit highways, than any other
county of its section. The soil and
climatic conditions of tho country ad
jacent to Americus, It has been fohnl
are peculiarly adapted to the success-
ful cultivation of the pecan and other
nuts as a commercial .proposition. A
number of orchards are already plant
ed, or provided for, and the evidence]
abccmulate that Sumter county is des
tined to -be one of the greatest .pecan
centres of tbe South within a few
jeirs. For this reason it is especially
appropriate that your body should
honor Amerltus by -holding your next
Lunual convention in this city.
“Of the "hospitality of Americus it
is needless to dilate. We can assure
you that every opportunity will be
aorded your members to see Sumter
county, that every possible effort will
be made to have your visit here both
pleasant and profitable, and we reel
convinced that if this invitation Is ac
cepted there will be no occasion to
subsequently regret it on your ipart"
