PREVENT ALL SUMMER BOWEL TROUBLES '
GEORGIA’S COTTON CROP
IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION
Is Opinion of Mr, H- M. Hutton After a Trip Over
the State.
Mr. Hugh M. Hutton has returned to
the city after a tour of practically the
entire cotton growing region of Geor
gia. Everywhere, he says, he found
the planters thoroughly satisfied with
the outlook which promises an excel
lent cror, one much larger than that
of the last season. He found also that
a larger acreage was planted this sea
son than last which means that more
cotton will be grown in Savannah’s ter
ritory with consequently larger receipts
for this port.
Mr. Hutton went as far west as the
Chattahoochee, down into Southwest
Georgia, and as far north as Merri
wether and Coweta counties. He was
in the west and southwestern part of
the state before the recent heavy rains
in those parts, and therefore, is not In
position to say just what the condition
other applicant for the convention.
Col. Glessner says if for no other
reason the league should go to Griffin
because of what Secretary Bailey has
done for it. He has worked hard for
the league and has kept interest in
it active, when it was not an easy
matter. The entire delegation prom
ises the mayors a fine time if they
will accept Griffin's invitation.

OF FOOD
So when “run down.” “tired” or ailing in any way you may be sure the life forces are not taking up, from your
present food, the things required to keep Body and Brain well. It is very sure you will discover help when the
food is changed properly. The reason for advocating
Grape-Nuts
is that this food contains the natural Phosphate of Potash obtained from wheat and barley, from which nature
makes (in combination with Albumen of the food) the gray filling of Brain and Nerve centers.
Build those parts up strong and vigorous
and you have achieved the power to
“make this life beautiful.”
“THERE'S A REASON."
10 days trial of GRAPE-NUTS will demonstrate the fact.

of the crop is there now, but while in
North Georgia he found that some rain
was needed, and as it has been had
since he left he believes that this part
of the state has been materially ben
efited by it. In the lower and western
parts of the state the crop Is the best
he ever saw, Mr. Hutton says.
While the visitor's observations were
directed chiefly to upland cotton, what
he saw and heard of the sea island crop,
leads him to believe that this variety,
100, is In pretty good condition, though
the acreage is not so large as usual.
He heard some complaints of black
root in Stewart and Clay counties.
The planters are cheerful, Mr. Hut
ton says, because the season has been
an Ideal one so far as cultivating the
crop is concerned, and therefore it will
be made at much less cost than has
been the case in some former years.
The growers are of the opinion that
their crops will net them between 9 and
9 >/2 cents.

Rate* and Combination* of Rate* to
Nevr York Worry Official*.
In order to meet the steamer compe
tition to New York, the ail-rail lines
advertising the mountain and seashore
excursion for Aug. IT, are considering
the advisability of placing in effect as

tions.

placed in effect a round trip rate to
New York of $27.75, which is the same
as that for the summer excursion, pro

ers Company has made a rate of $17.50
for the round trip to Philadelphia,
which with the rail rate to New York

roads and the rate from there to New

Address by Mr. Charles 0. Edwards and Music by
Ahmeen quartette.
Acorn Lodge, No. 103, I. O. O. F.,
celebrated iits fourteenth anniversary
last night, the occasion proving a most
enjoyable one. In addition to the mem
bers of the lodge there were'present, a
number of visitors who came to join
in the celebration and to enjoy the pro
gramme presented.
The address of the evening was de
livered by Mr. Charles G. Edwards,
who chose for his theme: “The Grow
ing Spirit of Fraternity.’’ The yearn
ing for companionship was given as
the foundation of secret orders, and
the beauties of the principles of fra
ternity pointed out. The talk was re
plete with good storie*.
"To me there is nothing more beau
tiful,'' said the speaker in conclusion,
“nothing nobler, nothing half so grand,
as a fraternal relation, where friends
can meet as here and be bound togeth
er by sacred ties which inspire confi
dence, sympathy and love, causing us
to visit the sick, bury the dead and
care for the widow and the orphan.

NEIL OF THE SOUTHERN
GIVES UP HIS OFFICE.
L. Green Will Become General
Freight Aj?en*.
Atlanta, Aug. 9 —lt is pretty wet!
known in railroad circles here that
General Freight Agent E. A. Neil of

his resignation to take effect Aug. 15,
and that L. Green, assistant general
freight agent, has been appointed in
his place. George R. Browder, freight
agent at Birmingham, will become as
sistant general freight agent.
There are some interesting rumors in
connection with Mr. Neil’s resignation,
that blooms blossoms of kindness, the
mere presence of which soothes the dis-'
eordant passions within us, and points
us to a holier and purer relation in our
family, in our social intercourse and
with our God.
“I hold thte picture up to every Odd
Fellow and above it I would place the
links that unite us in this sweet com
munion, and the links that must unite
man to man, if we really want to be
brothers and be happy in being broth
ers—those links are Friendship, Love
and Truth.”

was rendered by members of the Ah

WARNED TO*KEEP AWAY.
Jump* Rnrke Did Not Heed the
Warning and Wa* Fatally Stabbed.
Tifton, Ga., Aug. 9.—Jim Burke was
stalbbed to death by Bud Mobley, near
Osierfield, in Irwin county, last night.
Both are young white men. and Mob
ley belongs to one of the most promi
nent families in the county.
The difficulty occurred at a house on
Mobley's place. It is said that Mob
ley and Burke had had trouble before,
and Mobley had warned Burke to stay
away from his place and not to be
seen there any more. Burke, it is
thought, had been drinking during the
day and went to the house at a late
hour in the night, pushing open the
door and entering. As soon as he
struck a light and saw Mobley, he
drew a pistol and began shooting at
him, when Mobley rushed upon him
with his knife, and stabbed him to
death. The coroner's jury is said to
have returned a verdict of justifiable
homicide.
Mobley has fled and will probably
stay out of the way for some time, as
it is said he fears violence at the
hands of Burke's friends.
This is the third killing that has oc
curred in Irwin county within the last
two weeks, the first being the killing
of Robert Land by his son, John; the
second, the killing of Henderson by
Smith.

robbery and impersonating an officer
are the charges against Tom Daniels,
Jim Young, Frank Fulton and Buck,

given a commitment hearing this

The case is rather a peculiar one.
All of them are porters in saloons and
stores here. Saturday one of them
gave a negro, Dan McCray, a Panama
hat to carry home. During the day
it rained and the hat was soiled. Dan
iels. who is a bright mulatto, demand
ed $12.50 damages, which McCray
would not pay. A little after mid
night McCray wa* aroused from his
slumbers by knocks on his door. A
voice on the outside Informed him that
It was Deputy Sheriff Myddleton. who
came to arrest him if he did not pay
$5 for the damage to the hat. With
out taking a close look at the posse
the negro slipped the money through
a crack In the door and went back to
bed.
The next morning McCray went to
Myddleton for a receipt for the money,
but the officer did not know what he
was talking about. An Investigation
showed that the negroes had imperson
ated the officer.
