FLEE IN THE NIGHT
Yeggmen Dig Into Edsterlin
Bros. Store.
Safe blowers continue their success
ful work near Amerlcus, and during
the early hours of morning yesterday
dug a ' tunnel through the back of
Easterlin Bros’, safe In their store
at Andersonvllle, then getting safely
away In tie darkness.
The burglary was reported to Sherifl
Feagln jit an early hour yesterday
morning, and he went at once to the
scene.
Afler effecting an entrance to the
store of Easterlin Bros, the yeggmen
bored into the back of the safe with
apparent case. They secured about
9125 In cash, all they could find In
a hurried search. A fine shotgun
found in the store was taken by them
also.
No trace of the burglars has been
found, so far as known.
Such acts are of frequent occurrence
NEW CI6AR FACTORY
TO BE STARTED.
Mess. Carter and Jossey
Arranging For One.
Amerlcus Is to have another cigar
factory. The first enterprise along
'.his line has been pronounced a suc
cess. Its prtrtects are being sold
over half a dcrea states, the demand
exceeds the output, and tt has as
brilliant prospects as any industry In
this section.
The second cigar factory will be
established in the near future by
Messrs. Calvin Carter and \V. J. Jos.

PARTIES IN PELHAM.
Americns Lady Learns of
Homicide.
Mrs. J. E. Boone, of Amerlcus, re'
celved a telegram announcing the
tragic death' of her brother, Will Ak
ridge, at Pelham. The telegram con
tained no particulars or information
beyond the mere statement that Mr.
Akridge had been murdered near Pel-
hint the night previous. The deceased
was known in Amerlcus, where he bad
often visited Ms sister in recent years.

The Pains of Women
Which result from a disordered con
dition of the womb and Its append
ages can usually be cured by the
timely use of that great Southern
Remedy, V1X-0-V1TAE, made by the
Granger Medicine Co., Chattanooga,
Tenn. This remedy has been
standard in many families In the
Southern States for many years. It
cures the various ailments peculiar
to women and gives them bouyant
health. If you ‘‘are all run down” and
have pains and irregularities, VIN-O-
V1TAE will give you good service.
Every woman should have it on hand.
You may need It at any time. Drug

be rented as speedily as possible, the
necessary plant installed, and the
cigar makers brought here from otb-
er points. The factory will start with
an output of about 50,000 cigars a
month. They will he retailed at five
cents, and will be made of Porto Kico
and Havana fillers with Florida wrap
pers. No name has yet been selected
for the brand that Is to assist In
carrying the name of Amerlcus to
cigar smokers generally. It Is not un
likely that a prize will be offered for
the best name for the brand. This
would provoke a lively Interest and
doubtless bring In many excellent
suggestions along this line.
The new factory will probably be in
operation within two or three weeks.
It Is the purpose to Increase the work
ing force as rapidly as the demand
justifies. Travelers will be put on
the road, and It is not improl'able that
withdn a very short time It will he
necessary to considerably increase the
working fi rce.
The news of the launching of this
A telegram received by the Times-
Rccorder last night from Pelham
gave the following details as to the
killing:
W. G. Akridge proprietor of the
I’iney Woods Drug Co., manager of
the Farmers’ Hardware Co., and one
of the best k|}wn planters of this
section is dead as the result of a
supposed attack in ills home last
night. A. P. Spence, former traveling
salesman for an Atlanta firm, but
now a resident of Pelham, was charged
with the crime, arrested and harried
in an automobile to Albany, Ga., and
placed In Jail. Akridge was alone in
the house at the time of the killing,
his family being away on a visit.

SENATOR TILLMAN NOT
CONTEMPLATING RESIGNING
Politics are looking up. Tbe pro
mary for county officers is but two
weeks off and the candidates who
have opposition are fairly humping
themselves, meeting the voters and
lining up their friends. The contests
are good natured, but nevertheless
keen, and the outlook is that no ef
forts will be spared to get out the
voters on election day.
The race Tor county treasurer, be'
tween Capt. Pat. Williams, the in
cumbent, and Mr. James A. Pinkston
Is taking on decided life, and the indi
cations are tljat It will be a stren
uous one from how on. Both candi
dates have a host of friends, many of
whom are working zealously in their
behalf.
The latest feature of thFs race was
the issuing yesterday of a circular let
ter to the voters by Mr. Pinkston, an
swering rumors that have been afloat
and offering to surrender all of the
income of the office, except 8600 a
year, to the county for good roads
purposes. The letter, which Is being
sen tto the voters all over the county,
has this to say:
“A number of my friends have ad
vised me that It Is being talked over
the county that my candidacy for
treasurer is In the Interest of cer
tain banks, and that these banks In
duced me to offer for the position. I
therefore take this method to posi
tively state that I am not the candi
date of any faction, but It elected, will
serve with equal fidelity all the people
of the county.
“A large number of taxpayers came
to me and urged that I offer for coun
ty treasurer In tkle interest of the
taxpayers; that the office paid the
treasurer, under the commission at
lowed by law, about 82,200; that there
was very little work connected with
the office, and a number of tb03e
Importuning me to offer for the posi
tion thought 8600 ample compensa
tion for the services performed. Upon
investigation, I came to that conclu
sion, and believing my election would
save the already burdened taxpayers
81,600.00 or more per annum, I con
sented to become a candidate.
"If honored with the office, I here
by pledge to tbe voters of the county
that I will retain 8600.00 per annum
for my services daring my term of of
fice, the remaining amount allowed
under the law as commissions, I
pledge myself to leave in thie treasury
to be used to build good roads, and,
furthermore, In the event of a bond
issue for the purpose of building good
roads throughout the county, I will
not exact any commission whatever
upon these bonds.
“Honestly believing all public bene
fits should be distributed among all the
taxpayers vho bear the burden, when
It can be cnnnlstently done, If elected,
I will not keep all the public money
In one bank, but will dlstlbute the
county funds among the seven good
and solvent banks of the county.
“I will nppeclato your support If
you can consistently give It to me.
“Yours respectfully,
“J. A. PINKSTON.”
It Is not Improbable that there will
be other letters to the public from
other candidates, and tba campaign
may assume quite an epistolary char
acter in the next few day3.
