BUSINESS MEN OF AMERICUS
ANO PLANIERS OF SUMTER
The business men and planters of
Americus and Sumter county assembl
ed yesterday afternoon at the Chamber
of Commerce, and after discussing the
status relative to the cotton situation
in Sumter county and the state of
Georgia and the disastrous effect on
the new cotton crop, which will be
coming into the market within a few
weeks, adopted the following resolu
tions, a copy of which was sent to
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, president of
the United States, the press of the
state, and to other business organiza
tions of Georgia, that the matter may
be impressed upon this government as
to immediate acion being aken to
lift the embargo placed upon cotton:
Americus, Ga„ July 27, 1915.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President,
Washington, D. C.
Whereas, The order in council of the
British government has, contrary to
all precedent forms of international
laws, placed an embargo on the free
importation! of cotton to neutral coun
tries; and,
Whereas, Such action tends to de
preciate the price of cotton, the new
crop being only a few weeks off and
Hundreds Are Dying
Os Starvation In
Province of Macedonia
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON', July 28.—Dispatches re
ceived from British Consul Greig, at
Monastir, Macedonia, indicate that the
situation of the. refugee population in
that district is very serious. “So many
people have succumbed to the fleets
of exposure and starvation.’’ says Mr.
Greig, “and the crop prospects are so
bad, that despair has quenched all
initiative. Everywhere the distress is
increased by the enormous prices o£
foodstuffs, by the lack of medical as
sistance, by the need of clothing and
housing. The situation is equally pre
carious for Christian and Moslem pop
ulation.
“Acute distress of a peculiarly hor
rible character prevails among the
civilian population of the districts of
Ochrida, Dibra, Kirchevo ana Perlepe.
The chief sufferers are refugees from
villages destroyed in 1912 when cattle,
grain, agricultural implements and all
household effects of hundreds of fami
lies were looted or destroyed.
Th e survivors of this ruin took ‘ ef
uge in the towns —especially Monastir
—destitute of the necessities of life.
Since then it has been impossible for
them to do anything towards retrieving
their fortunes or to earn a farthing.
Their only resources had been agricul
ture, which they could have resumed
only if their homes and barns could
have been gratuitously rebuilt, and
if oxen, seed and agricultural imple
ments could have been provided. That
was impossible, because the events of
1912 were followed by other ware and
urgent appeals to charity on every side.
No other means of earning a living has
been opened to them, as there has been
much of last year’s crop still being on
hand without a market, such being the
case, it is liable to bring poverty and
distress to many who are dependent
upon a price for their cotton that only
a free market will afford, and is the
only means by which they may get
the relief they seek; therefore be it,
Resolved, That the president of the
United States be respectfully urged to
make such representations to the Brit
ish government through the proper
channels as will bring about a modifi
cation or abrogation of the order in
council and permit the free and un
trammeled trading in cotton between
the United States and the neutral
countries of Europe.
AMERICUS AND SUMTER COUNTY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, J. W.
Harris, Jr., Vice-President.
Attest:
E. H. HYMAN, Secretary-Manager.
Secretary-Manager Hyman of the
Chamber of Commerce immediately
wired to President Wilson the reso
lutions as appear above. Americus
business men are fully alive to the
situation) threatening us, and through
the Chamber of Commerce, will en
deavor to secure the needed relief.
no demand for labor, owing to econom
ical conditions.
“In Monastir alone there are some
8,000 persons, including refugees from
more than 30 villages. Many of them
are suffering from illness caused by
two and a half years of semi-starvation
whilst large numbers are in a state
of extreme debility, which, failing re
lief, can only end in a lingering death.
There are whole streets of families in
this condition. They have parted with
everything saleable. Women, reduced
to skin and bone, are feeding their in
fants on dry bread got by begging.
Hundreds of these families have re
cently been visited and scarcely a
house has been found in which there
is an- atom of food beyond scraps of
dry bread and, here and there, a few'
handfuls of flour. No family possessed
meat, eggs, butter, cheese, oil, salt, tea,
coffee and rice.”
GO RIGHT AT IT
Friends and Neighbors in Americus
Will Show You a Way.
Get at the root of the trouble.
Rubbing an aching back may re
lieve it.
But won’t cure it if the kidneys are
weak.
You must reach the root of it—the
kidneys.
Doan’s Kidney Pills go right at it;
Reach the cause; attack the pain.
Are recommended by many Americus
people.
Mrs. Walter Guery, 203 McGarrah,
St., Americus, says: “The recommen
dation I gave Doan’s Kidney Pills some
years ago holds good. While I seldom
have suffered with backache or any
symptom of kidney trouble since the
cure was made, I keep Doan’s Kidney
Pills in the house and use them occa
sionally as a preventive.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Guery had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

SWELTERED IN
JULY WEATHER
DAILY RECORD OF TEMPERATURE
FOR MONTH.
Americus people are ready to bear
testimony to the general fervidity of
the repvailing and will
place July upon the scroll of time as
about the hottest since the Indians
crossed Muckalee and high-balled to
the west, which is going back some.
Today has been one of excessive
torridness, with the mercury limping
around the century spot and the un
dershirt sticking like a brother. The
last w’eek-end was a trifle less intense,
but Old Sol is again at the bat with
bases full of perspiring players.
Mr. Joseph Bryan, who keeps the
official records here for the weather
bureau, has kindly furnished the
Times-Recorder the following daily
report on temperature during July to
date, which will interest his fellow suf
ferers.
July 19th was the hottest day, ac
cording to Observer Bryan’s official re
port, although other days with 99 re
corded ran it a close second. The
official report follows:
