PLOWED JEN ACRES
WHILE IN DETENTION.
This Sick Negro Insisted on
Working Every Day.
A negro patient at amunlclpal hos
pital suffering from small pox, who
refused to remain Idle but Instated oa
being given an opportunity to work
as much as posslblo during hit illness
Is a rarity. Indeed. Aa a general prop
osition such patients, or patients suf
fering from any malady for that mat
ter, are more Inclined to play oft
worse than they really are rather than
go on the otter tack and rebel at Idle
ness and clamor for a good hard day's
work, day after day.
Atnericus Is the city that furnishes
the exception to the long established
rule. The exception came In the per
son of Will Green, well known as a i
INVEST MORE MONEY IN
MILLS AND FACTORIES
Another Round Million Thus
Invested.
Americus has hitherto failed utUr'.y
In every effort put forth by press
and public to secure the location of
a cotton mill here, and this, too,
when half the capital stock was al
ready pledged by foreign capitalists
who, with keener perception, realized
Americus' advantages as a manufac
turing point.
Our people evidently do not favor
cotton mills, or at least those wl,o
have the money wherewith to build
them prefer other Investments that
pay much smaller returns.
Many men here of very large means
refuse absolutely to subscribe a dol
lar towards a coiton mill, but arc
Industrious and reliable colored man. glad to get 5 per cent. Investments
Green was unfortunate enough to
contract the disease In some way and
was promptly removed to the deten
tion house, there to while away n
fortnight while the disease ran Its
course. But one day of idleness was
enough for him. When Dr. Chambliss,
the health 1 oOlccr, turned up the next
day 10 see how he was getting along
Green wag up In arms.
••Doctor," said he. “I can't stand
sluing around here doing nothing. I
wants to work.
"But there Isn’t any work you can
do." r piled the doctor.
Green looked over the big Held sur
rounding the bouse, some ten acres or
more.
"I tell you wtat, doctor." said be.
"This farm needs plowing. Get me a
mule and a plow and I'll find 'he
work."
Dr. Chambliss took him at his word.
Tlie next day a mule and plow were at
the door. Green smiled as much
he could, chuckled to the mule, and
began work.
Before Green was well the entire
ten acres bad been plowed. And the
Job was thoroughly done at that. And
the man was apparently the better
off for his dally exercise In the open
aid. Ills trouble ran Its course In
better shape. In all probability, for
his not giving up to It and lying
around grunting In bed.
But If there Is another house for
contagious diseases thnt can produce
a patient who voluntarily Insisted on
Plowing n ten acre Held while sick
Americus doesn't know It. But then
In all likelihood, there are not many

TYPHOID WOMAN IS FREED
FROM IMPRISONMENT
Narj Mullen, Who Spreads Disease,
Mast Not Cook.
Xow York, February 23.—Mary
Mallon, flippantly referred to as "Ty-
hohl Mary," has been released from
uarantlno on North Brothers Island
y order of the health department,
dth a proviso that she Is not to
eek employment as a servant In this
by. For the las tthreo years Mary
as lived secluded in a lonely hut on
ho Island, because, according to phy-
Ictnns, she is the victim of a peculiar
ate of affair.,. Medical men say
t although Very Bias never suffered
In other towns where cotton mills aroi
among the Important industries.
Nothing to Invest In the town In
which they reside. Not a dollar to
help put Americus forward.
How different the feeling In towns
that have cotton factories In suc
cessful operation. More and larger
mills are being erected and additional
machinery put In those now In op
eration. Every factory has Its big
weekly payroll, and the merchants
are the beneficiaries.
The following news Item was sent
out from Columbus yesterday:
“The Georgia Manufacturing Com
pany Is Increasing Its capacity to the
extent of 1,000 new spindles, which
ar? now being added to the big plant.
Other Columbus cotton nulls are put
ting In new machinery at this time,
which Indicates that they are In a
prosperous condition.
"The Muscogee Manufacturing
Company Is Installing a new amt
up-to-date electric plant, which will
add much to the present facilities of
the big mills.
The Columbus Manufacturing Com
pany has Just received a carload of
new machinery for Its big annex,
which has about been completed at
a cost of J300,000. This new mill will
be ready to begin operation shortly.
“The Eagle and Phenlx mills ore
receiving a lot of new looms, which
are being substituted for the old
ones, and, altogether, the textile
plants of the city are spreading and
prospering as never before In their
history., and Columbus Is more than
ever the Dowell of the South.”
All of which Is respectfully refer
red to citizens of Americus, espe
cially those who oppose the building
of cotton factories, or rather who
want other people to put up the
money.

OFFICER GETTING DATA
DAMAGED CORN IS SEIZED
IN STATE BY METRYIN
Is Making n Special Tour In Search
For It.
While Americus produce dealers
have reported no shipments of rot
ten or damaged western corn to this
market as yet. It is more than likely
that such stuff will turn up here
very soon, as In past seasons. Al
ready this corn, deadly to stock as
feed, Is being shinned Into the stat\

Hoard Will Probably Pro
vide for Inspections.
It la quite likely that at the March
meeting of the Board oUEducatlon ac
tion Will be taken toward the intro
duction into the public schoola here
of the aystem of physical examination
of children that la being adopted
•throughout the country, and that
has been In auccessfut operation In
a number of cities for the past year or
two.
Supt. Miller and Dr. Wade CtJam
bl s, have beea busily engaged se
curing data for a report to the board
at the forthcoming meeting on thte
experience of other cliles along this
line. It Is understood that they have
me quite exhaustively Into the mat'
ter, securing reports from cities where
the system Is In use, as well as the
comments of educators and health of
ficials on the merits of the methods
used t odiscorer trouble* afflicting
children and Interfering with their
studies. It Is quite likely that they
will have in hand a mass of Informa
tion by the meeting of the board
and will present It In such shape that
the members can readily determine
for themselves exactly what has besn
achieved elsewhere along this line.
The reports so far In hand are said
to clearly Indicate that wherever
adopted the system of Inspections by
competent physicians or by some mu
nicipal health officer, has been found
to bring Immediate beneficial results.
Parents are generally found willing
to heartily co-operate In eradicating
Ills that interfere with the progress of
their children and hamper them In the
battle of life.
In some cities arrangements have
been made, where the parents are
too poor, to have the necessary atten
tion given to the child afflicted In
tills way without expense to the par
ents. Fortunately, Americus Is prac
tically devoid of a very poor class, and
there would be few. If any, calls of
this kind.
The presentation of the report of
Supt Miller and Dr. Chambliss will
be awaited wth great Interest by
this members of the Board and the
public generally. It Is quite likely
that the reading of It will be followed
with a resolution providing tor the
Introduction of the Inspection system
In the public schools here. It would
probably only be necessary to make
an Inspection two or three times
year. The first Inspection would be
a thorough one, and after that the In
spcctlons for the year would be
more quickly done.
Nothing that has been done In the
educational world ha* attracted
much favorable comment aa this sys
tem of inspection. The result to the
men and women of the future Is re
garded as likely to be of so highly
beneficial nature that a distinct ad
vance will be seen In the general men
tal and physical character. In the
mere matter of the removal of ada
nolds, thousands of children are un
questionably beljig vastly benefltted
physically and In their brain power
through the simple operations brought
out by the discovery of their condi
tion through these public school In
spcctlons.
BEST TSEATMEH’
FOR CATARRH
There Is no way to core Catarrh except to purifv the blood, and thm
do away with tha cans*. The symptom* may be benefited by tha usa ol
washes, Inhalations, sprays, medicated tobaccos, ate., nnd through the use
of aueh treatment catarrh sufferers receive temporary relief ana comfort
External and local measures however cannot hare any offoet on the blood
and therefore their use alone Is of no real curative value. Catarrh ie a
deep-seated blood disease, and cornea as the result of catarrhal matter and
other impurities In the circulation. These morbid matters In the blood
cause an Inflammatory and irritated condition of the mucous membrane
tissue lining of the cavities of the body, producing an unhealthy secretion,
ringing noise* In the ears, stuffy feeling In the head and nose, headache*,
hoarseness, bronchial affections, watery eyes, etc. S. S. 8. is the best treat
ment for Catarrh because it la the greatest of all blood purifiers. This
medicine removes every particle of the catarrhal Impurity from the clreula
tion, making this vital fluid pure, fresh and healthy. Then the Inflamed
membranes begin to heal, because they ar* nourished with pure, health-
giving blood, every symptom disappears, and soon 8.8.8. products a perfect
cure. 8.8.8. does not contain any habit-forming drugs, which really nevei
can cure Catarrh, but ofto^ ruin the health. Book on Catarrh and any
medical advice free. TEE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA
