UMEBICUS HAS
1 PROSPEfIfIUS
FAUJUSHtSS
FULLY ASSURED IF COTTON
PRICES HOLD.
Americus merchants are far from
pessimistic over the prospect for fall
business, and will go to the Eastern
markets to make-their usual purchases
for the fall and winter trade. While
the cotton crop is not all that could ba
desired, either in acreage or prospec
tive yield, there will be cotton to sell
in Americus—it is being sold here al
ready—and if prices continue even
moderately good there will be a large
volume of business during the fall sea
son.
There are no wild claims that busi
ness will be better than it ever was
before, for. of course, the volume of ii ]
will depend a great deal upon the price
of cotton, which cannot now be fore- ,
told.
But even now there seems to be a ■
firm conviction that w r hen note-paying
day comes around and the time comes )
to settle up with the merchants from
whom supplies have been bought dur- :
ing the last six months there will be
few requests for note renewals and for (
the merchants to carry old accounts
longer. <
If the event proves that convic- j
tion to be w-ell founded there is no
reason to be apprehensive as fall ap- <
proaches.
It is a fact that more money than j
ever before has found its fay into far- ]
mers’ hands this year from buyers of <
meat, and a great variety of crops has
helped them to be less dependent upon j
cotton for tiheir welfare, and hence they
ar e in better shape to face a season of <
low priced cotton than they were last ]
year at this time.
And then there is an excellent i
prospect that cotton will yield a good i
profit because of smallness of the cost
at which it was made. t

GOVERNOR ALONE
Will DECIDE AS :
TO EXTRASESSIDN
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 17—The ques- *
tion of prohibition which has been put <
up to Governor Nat E. Harris in con
nection with the call for an extra leg
islative session, is in its way as pain
ful a problem as the Frank case ap
parently was to Governor Slaton.
No matter which way Governor Har
ris decides, and there is ample evi
dence to show that his mind has not '
yet been made up, he will displease a
large number of good and conscien
tious Georgia citizens and voters.
If he decides to include prohibition
in the call, those who wish it exclud
ed will say that he is sacrificing the
material interests of the state, jeopard
izing the appropriations bill and the
Western and Atlantic situation and
letting down the bars for a repetition
of what occurred at the regulare ses
sion.
If he decides to exclude prohibition
from the call, those who believe *t
should be included will say thta he
has interfered with the wishes of the
people, as represented by the legisla
ture, to say whether they want to
mak any change in the prohibition law
.or not. Some of them, the more ex
treme and radical ,will even say, pei
haps, that he is in sympathy with what
they call “the liquor element.”
Those who know Governor Harris
know that which ever way he decides,
he will act In accord with his own
conscience and without fear of crit
icism which, in any event, he will net
be able to escape.
Progress.
The old-faehloned boy who used to
get a penny for turning the handles of
the clothes wringer for his mother on
wash-day now has a son who cusses
every time he has to crank up his auto
engine.

Why the Hair
I Needs 1 onic
j A good many people don’t think of
taking care of their hair until they
commence to lose it. This is wrong,
j The way to keep your hair is to care
for it. There is a good reason for a
hair tonic.
SAN-TOX
EAU DE QUININE H AIR TONIC
kills dandruff germs, removes scale
and scurf, leaves the hair soft and
silky, cleanses the scalp, removes ex
cessive oil from the hair and stimu
lates the circulation around the hair
roots. If the hair is treated with it
carefully three times a week, you will
be rendering your hair a service and
1 preventing it from becoming brash,
thin and dry. It is better to have a
good head of hair and keep it than
lose it and spend your time in idly
wishing that you had acted in time.
