THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. THURSDAY. APRIL 14.1910
GET READY I01EIL
HIM ALL YOU KNOW.
Questions Census Man Will
Soon Be Asking.
It is but a matter of a few days now
before the census enumerators will
' be at work in Americus. Not a house
•will be slightet, if they do their duty
faithfully and efficiently; not an in
dividual but will bo counted, his or her
age jotted down, and otter facts per
■taining 10 the population carefully se
cured, to be classified later by the
enumerating machines at Washing
ton.
The enumerators are under oath not
to divulge any of the Information im
parted to them. If they are known
to do so, they are liable to a heavy
fine and imprisonment. The lady of
uncertain years need not, therefore,
fear that ter age will be divulged to
others. She can tell the exact truth
with a feeling of confidence that the
enumerator will not even dare to tell
his own wife. No one over gets be
hind the records except the officials,
and the age can be changed for local
consumption at any time with abso
lute immunity from detection.
The questions that are asked are
not difficult to answer, but require
some little time. Here they are:
First enumerator writes on his blank
the street and number of your house.
Then he asks how many families
live there.
Now you must give name of each
person of your family who lives with
you on April 13. He enters surname
first, then the given name and middlo
initial. He omits children born since
April 15.
Then the questions will come as fol
lows:
Tell the relationship of each person
in the family to the head of the family.
Tell their sex.
. Color or race.
Age at last birthday.
Whether single, married, widowed or
divorced.
Number of years of present mar
riage, if married.
How many children born and how
many now alive.

What year you immigrated to the
Unltedt Sates, if foreign born.
Whether you aro naturalized or
•lien.
Whether able to speak English, or if
sot given language spoken.
What’s your trade, or profession, or
Sob?
What is the general nature of the in
dustry, business or establishment
■where you work
Are you an employer, employe, or

How many weeks were you out of
work in 1909?
Can you read?
Can you write?
Have you attended school any time
aince September 1, 1909?
Do you own or rent your home?
If you own it, Is it free or mort
gaged?
Do you live on a farm or in town?
If you live on a farm is it free or
mortgaged?
Then, if you live on a farm, what’s
the number of your farm schedule—
that is a census schedule which you
•hculil hate received before the cen
sus man comes.
Are you a survivor of the t’n on or
Confederate army or navy?
Arc you blind (both eyes)?

Camilla, Ga., April 12.—A Maxwell
■touring car was demolished and four
®f Its occupants Injured when tt
was struck by an Atlantic Coast Line
switch engine . The car was driven
■hi Drewry Ledbetter. Tho otter pas
sengers were Miss Calista Bush, Miss
Kay Bangs and Coy Heath. The In
juries arc not serious, the escape being
miraculous.
The discovery Tuesday morning of
th eburglary of Smlthwick’s gun store
the night previous, together with one
or two lesser thefts committed, re
sulted in the arrest by the police of
two white men who will be held for
Investigation. Several articles were
taken from the Smithwick store, and
for reasons known to themselves only
the police arrested the men In ques
tion, both of whom claim to have been
here for a short lime. Quite recently
a number of small stores out In the
residence districts of Americus havo
been burglarized and quantities of
the burglary of Smlthwick’s gun store
and so successfully have the thefts
been committed that the gang of
thieves are made more daring. It Is
not known what evidence the 'offi
cers Have secured In the Smithwick
store robbery, but they are working
diligently upon It.

Americus people who "take sugar In
theirs” need have no fear regarding
an abundant supply. One thousand
barrels granulated sugar stocked ur

000. safeguards this section from any
sugar shortage during tho blackberry
pie season and the fruit-canning era.
Just now sugar Is comparatively cheap
—If any kind nf food product can be
called so any longer—but prices will
probably go k'ting as usual as the
fruit season approaches, with Increas
ed demand for something to spread on
the peaches.

BREWER'S RICH DAUGHTER
FIGHTS DENTIST
Declares $25 an Hour Is Too Much for
a Dentist—Tranks Attached.
Chicago, April 12.—"Not a nickel! I
never will pay that bill. I will fight it
to the Supreme Court I will let him
attach all the clothes I’ve got, I will
then emot on got th® better of
Miss Nellie Anheuser, member of the
St. Louis 'brewing family and heiress
to millions, whose pin money is said to
be $500 a week, as she was telling of
her experience with bailiffs and law
yers who sought to collect a bill for
Dr. Robert Good, a dentist.
The story briefly ‘old Is this: Some
time ago Miss Anheuser tad work
done by Dr. Good. He charged her
$25 an hour. The bill has never bean
paid.
When she came to Chicago to attend
the opera Dr. Good attached her
trunks, including the one containing
th® gown she was to wear. After ap
peals for help, Edward F. Mayer, treas
urer of the Stratford, gave bond to tho
bailiff who was perched on the trunk.
“The work wa3 no good anyway,"
Miss Anheuser said. “It had to be
done all over again. And $25 an hour!
It’s outrageous. I won’t pay It. I'll
fight It to the highest courts first. Nev
er, never, never, will I pay a cent.”
"No, we d'dn't go to the opera,” Miss
Anheuser added.

pany to start a great cattle far mwith-
•n abatolr. Outside of th® four or

prominence In Americus. Mr. and

ing here will bo at home at the Tullls
residence on Church street.
Soil Experts Are Complet
ing Work.
Mr. J. C. Britton, who for several
months has been making a careful sur
vey of the soils of Sumter county, un
der the direction of the National De
partment of Agriculture, is making ex
cellent progress with that important
work and is securing much' valuable
information which will be compiled III
tlie hook to be published thereupon.
.Mr. Britton has headquarters here
in Americus, and makes daily tests
of soils in various sections of tho
county. The department will publish
a complete map of the county, lowing
the character of soll3 In various local
ities. and their adaptability to the
growth of certain crop3.
Concerning the work In progr33S
here, the expert gave out the follow
ing interesting points:
. "In making our legular field exam
inations of the soils of Sumter coun
ty, we have encountered a condition
which we believe ought to be explain
ed to the farmers. Some may know of
it, but the majority do.
"We have found In many places
hard-pan or very compact layer of soil,
usually about four to s'x Inches below
the surface and varying In thickness
from 3 to 7 inches. It seems to exist
in places where the clay sub-soil
comeS rather close to the surface.
Thus far we have not found It where
the soil is very sandy for a considera
ble depth'.
“It is our opinion that this condition
Is brought about by the method of
plowing, or rather by the kind of plow
in general use. The common, old-
fashioned turning plow while It Is be
ing drawn through the soil lifts i
considerable weight in turning tt® fur
row slice.
“All this weight rests on the bot
tom of the furrow, which is always
more moist than the surface, and if the
soil i.^ quite heavy, containing much
clay, as many of the soils of this coun
ty do. the bottom of the furrow Is read
ily compacted by tlhs weight. The
farmers plow quite shallow here and
at about the same depth, so that each'
year adds a little to th® compactness
of the furrow bottom.
“This is a serious matter, because
the plant rdots cannot penetrate this
compact layer and the plants must
get their nourishment only from the
surface 4 or 5 inches of soil. By bor
ing through this hard pan we find a
loose triable soil from which the
plants would draw much moisture and
Iplamt food, if the roots could get
to It.
'Obviously the remedy for thl scon-
dltlon is to stop using the old-fashion
ed plow and to break through this im
pervious strata, either by sub-solfing
or by use of a deep running di3k
plow.
"On clay land the we'ght of the
plow and th® furrow slice should not
rest on the bottom of the furrow, bat
should be carried by wheels running
on the surface. The surface being
more or less dry and sandy, will not
compact so readily as will the more
moist and olay like sub-soil.
“Any plow carried on wheels,
■whether It be a disc plow or a turning
plow, is the proper one to use on city
land. The farmers of Sumter county
will do well to examine their land and
to use the proper remedy If they find
the hard-pan.”
“SEEKING TIIE WOMAN” IN-
HOLLAND MURDER CASE
An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place'
ot massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
— without rubbing — th rough
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
Here’s the Proof.
Mr. .Tamkh C. Lee, of 1100 Oth St.,
8. K.,Washington,D.C.,yrrite«: “Thirty
ye urn Mgo I fell from a scatfoM ami furi
ously injured my back. I suffered terri
bly at times ; from tho small of my back
nil around my stomach was just as if I
bad been beaten witli a club. 1 used
every plaster I could got with no relief.
Hloan’s Liniment took tiic pain right
out, and I can now do ns much ladder
work os any mau in tho shop, thunks to
Sloan’s
Liniment
Mr. J. P. Evaxr, of Mt. Airy, Ga.,
says: “After being afflicted for three
years with rheumatism, I used Sloan’s
Liniment, and was cured sound and
well, and am glad to say I haven't been
troubled with rheumatism since. My
leg wa3 badly swollen from my hip to
my knee. One-half a bottle took the
pain and swelling out."
Sloan’s Liniment
has no equal as a
remedy for Rheu

or any pain or
stiffness in the
