Smokeless
Until science discovered a way to construct the Automatic
Smokeless Device, and make It completely dependable, all oil
heaters had one common great fault—smoke.
► With the advent of the Automatic Smokeless Device, and Its
practical application to the p£gf£(>l]<]g^
Oil Heater
[(Equipped with Smokeless Device)]
the smoke problem was successfully
solved.
i The Perfection Oil Heater is the
only heater equipped with this
Automatic
Smokeless Device'
which insures a steady, full-blowing heat,
with the wick turned up as high as it will
go, without a shred of smoke. Reverse the
motion, turn the wick down—there’s no odor.
The smokeless device automatically locks
and prevents the upward movement of the
wick beyond the proper exposure. That
is the secret. This splendid result gives
leadership to the Perfection.
You may now have all the heat you want—when you want it—and
where you want it—without the annoyance of smoke or odor.
' Brass font holds 4 quarts of oil, which permits a glowing heat for 9 hours.
Brass wick tube—damper top—cool handle. Cleaned in a minute.
The Perfection is beautifully finished in Nickel or Japan.

Hon. T. G. Hudson of Amerlcus,
state commissioner of agriculture,
will not enter the race for Congress
this year In opposition to Congress
man “Dud” Hughes. Such, at least,
is the information coming to Amerl
cus, via Savannah, where Commission
er Hudson spent a day this week and
discussed politics to some extent, ac
cording to the report.
This unexpected bit ot news will bo
read with Interest by Col. Hudson's
friends In the district, who confidently
expected the early announcement of
his candidacy. The Morning News
contains the following story:
“Farmer" Tom Hudson is not going
to be a candidate for Congress from
the Third district of Georgia in the
next general election.
This statement Is based upon the
commissioner's talk with a representa
tive of the Morning News at the Scre
ven House yesterday, where he stopped
while In Savannah. Mr. Hudson came
here from Amerlcus, spending the day
with friends. He returned home In the
afternoon.
For several months it has been re
ported time and again that Mr. Hud
son would be a candidate In opposi
tion to Dudley M. Hughes.
Upon previous visits to the city
Commissioner Hudson did not discuss
politics, saying that he was farming
and would take up politics later. Many
friends construed this to mean he
would be a candidate for Congress, as
It had been passed around that M,
Hudson would not object to going to
Congress.
Won't Run for Congress.
Just what he will do two years hence
Is only a matter of conjecture. Be
yond saying that he would not be a
candidate for Congress In 1910 Mr.
Hudson would go no further. He will
be a candidate for re-election ns com
missioner of agriculture and will have
no opposition, having filled the office
the satisfaction of everyone.
As a booster Mr. Hudson features.
He never falls to say something good
for the state and Is always optimistic.
“Every time I make a trip my stock
enthusiasm over conditions grows,"
snhl he. “We have the best lands to
found In the country, and I am con'
fldent an era of advancement such as
we have never seen Is dawning. The
fanners are fast learning that their
work Is a science, and are adopting
methods that Insure better returns.
New Methods of Forming.
My own opinion about the cotton
proposition is that the acreage In
Georgia will not be Increased. It
should not be, and I don't believe It
will be. Diversified farming Is what
we need to properly develop every re
source of the soil, and those who try
this get sufficient encouragement to go
at It on a larger scale.
We hope to get all the farmers to
realize the advantage to be derived
from not placing their entire depend
ence upon cotton.
“The acreage devoted to oats and
wheat this year showed a decided In
crease over previous years, and 1
think next year will be an even bet
ter one. I think there will be more
corn planted, too.
“We grow Just as much corn to the
acre as farmers In the West do, and
eventually our farm lands are going
to be worth as much an acre as the
lands ot the West. We bave the cli
mate and the soil, and with opportuni
ties to grow several crops a year far
mers will be able to make a most ex
cellent showing.
Farm Lands as Investment
“In my opinion farm lands make an
Investment that should not be over
looked. Particularly In South Geor
gia are values making an advance,
know ot one Instance where a farm
was purchased four years ago for $11
an acre. Today the Bame farm can
be sold for $25 an acre. You can
double your money on farm lands.
Every year adds to the value of hold
ings of this nature. .
“Good roads have contributed
largely to this condition of affairs.
You will find land Is being sought
most where the counties are making
the most advancement In good roads
building. Nothing adds more to
county than good roads. Commission
ers of roads In various counties have
found this out. and the tendency
everywhere seems to be for more and
better roads.”
Mr. Hudson will resume his tour of
the state in the Interest of agricul
tural developments early In January.

BIG BOOM IN WEDDINGS
WITHIN A BRIEF TIME
Race Suicide in Americus
Unknown Quantity.
Amerlcus takes no stock in the race
suicide theory an<h the matrimonial
hopper whirls merrily as of yore. The
altar continues a very busy place and
many couples depart therefrom, happy
on the way to matrimonial grief or
gladness,
Fifteen hundred and nineteen wed-
ddings here Is the record for four
years, up to yesterday.
Such are the figures shown by the
official record, and Indicates the
abounding prosperity in the good old
county of Sumter.
Captain John A. Cobb, the urbane
and efficient ordinary of Sumter,
whose duty it is to Issue the wedding
permits, kindly furnishes the Times-
Recorder the following statement of
marriage licenses Issued during the
past four years.
As seen therefrom, the total for tho
four years is 1,519. Of this number
256 were white couples and 1,263 col
ored couples. Here Is the official
record:

The next best year was 1907, although
cotton sold for less that year than It
has since.
All of which goes to prove that
financial conditions really have noth

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all Its stages, and
that Is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure Is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors bave so much faith In Its
curative powers that they offer One

fails to cure. Send for list of testimon
