GA., QEC. 21, 191t)6 Patience, perseverance and ready cash will get the Christmas shop ping done in due time. Aren’t you sorry you didn’t take the Times-Recorder’s advice and shop early? Look out now at the crowds and weather. An exchange suggests that the man who is in business and cannot afford to advertise should at least advertise his business for sale. Teddy may have thought Con gressmen would pass the holidays carefully studying those messages. He has another think coming. Onr merchants are showing large and attractive holiday stocks this year and will be able to satisfy all demands of Christmas buyers. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic is preparing to buy $615,- 000 worth of new equipment ior the Atlanta and Brunswick line. Labor may enjoy a fat Christ mas, as the increase for wage scales for next year, already an nounced, amount to more than $100,000,000. • Living is at Washington the highest in the land. That’s be cause the town has to live off Con gress and the clerks and a fevr foreigners. What’s the matter with starting a movement for 15,000 population for Americas by 1910. An in crease of less than 4,000 in three years is not an impossibility. Two or three new industries se cured each year between now and 1910 will make Americus stronger industrially and will materially in crease the city's population. Secretary Shaw issues a warning that this country is going so fast a smashup is likely to occur. Still when you get to going sometimes it is just as dangerous to stop. It is predicted that Hawkins ville will show an increose of one thousand in population within less than twelye months af.er the Western & Cult is completed. It will not be surprising if the administration ticket wins in the insurance election. Their paid agents were actively at work all over the country soliciting votes. Guano dealers and supply mer chants generally throughout the country are complaining of poor collections. This means that many farmers will not be able to pay out. So crowded with traffic is it, the Central Itailway has put an embar go at Savannah against all classes of freight except perishables and livestock until its yards can be cleared. Any movement tending to the advancement of Americus will al ways receive the support of this pa per. We are for Americus all the time, and are firm in the belief that her future was never brighter than at the close of the year 1906. SOUTHERN FAIR IN TnE NORTH To Cincinnati belongs the credit of suggesting that in 1907 a South ern Fair shall be held in that city, at which shall be exhibited all the products of the field, the farm and the shop of the South, in order that the North may be informed of the wonderful progress this section of the country is making and the great opportunities which the South offers to settlers from the Northern States. The suggestion has been commended so enthusi astically throughout the North that a number of cities have al ready set to work to outbid Cin cinnati for the honor of securing the exposition in spite of the fact that city conceived the idea. The proposed fair would doubt less prove an excellent scheme tor the education of Northern people in regard to the South, and we are sure that if they could be convinc ed of the wisdom of buying lands in our part of the country they would be heartily welcomed and made to feel at home among us. Our earnest endeavors to induce foreign immigration are not to be construed as an expression of pref erence for them at all over our own fellow citizens, whether of Maine or Michigan. What is most desired is that the farmers, and the people generally of the West, should be lully in formed of the resources and possi bilities of the South. Hence there is every reason to believe that a fair such as that suggested would prove to be won derfully instructive and of vast benefit to the South by arousing an interest in this section of the country among a class of people that the South would be glad in deed to have as settlers and citi zens. That a Southern exhibit would attract the attention of mil lions of farmers and small manu facturers in the great West to the South as it had never been attrac ted before there can be no doubt, and the result would be immense good for this section. It is now in order for Theodore 1 to dismiss the Supreme Court. That august body has decided that, after all, the states have some rights with w r hich the Federal Government cannot interfere.
