AN ADVERTISEMENT OUr
OE THE ORDINARY
Governess Has Charge De
scribed in Advance.
BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 24. (Spec
ial)—Eighty personal answers were
received to a very unusual advertise
ment in a local paper asking for a
woman companion and mentor for a
.gentleman’s little daughter. The
want is still unfilled.
The following was the advertise
ment:
1 desire to secure the services of a
woman—not the usual type of “re
ined lady” who is constantly on the
hunt for a job—but a masterful, dig
nified woman of character, common
sense and good breeding, who is
qualified by temperament and educa
tion to take charge of my twelve
year-old daughter.
The religious convictions of appli
cants are of no concern to the adver
. h.'ißer. nor need applicants possess an
academic or university degree, but
Their English must be sound—gram
mar perfect.
Daises Su perilous.
! t would not care to seriously con
r aider engaging a woman who com
bined daisies and violets on her
winter bonnet, or one who referred to
crockery as “porcelain,” or one
whose elegant repose of manner is
mere vacuity,, or one who bids for
■sympathy by frequently recurring, in
soreness of spirit, to her “past re
verses which are responsible for my
present anomalous and unfortunate
circumstances,” or one who extorts
reluctant gleams of pleasure only
from melancholy pangs of grief, or
’ one who beflours her face with the
incessant acil de poudre, or one who,
in manner, may be likened unto a
-hurricane.
To a woman with high ideas and a
low voice I can offer a comfortable
home, where no menial tasks will be
expected of her; courteous consider
ation and a liberal salary.
Mo Papa’s Dearie.
It is but fair for applicants to be
told that my little girl is no papa’s
angel-faced dearie. She is very hu
man, a fish-and-blood sort of coltish
maiden, with an expressive counte
nance and copper-colored mane, and
about as difficult to subdue as a
Mexican broncho.
At present she is at a boarding
school, and, resenting its organized
discipline and rebelling against the
me-bath-a-week regime and the mo
notony of stewed prunes and stewed
mutton, she promises to be as “good
as gold" and as “sweet as pie” if 1
let her return home.
The woman who attempts to bridle
her must have tact, patience, determ
ination and moral force. 1 want the
child’s spirit directed, not broken.
She may need all her will power some
day. In the proper hands she will be
docile and obedient, but at first she’s
lure to buck. She realizes the melt
ing qualities of my simulated stern
ness, so very little can be expected of
me.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1907
SIGNIEICANCE OE
EXODUS OE NEGROES
Disfranchisement Has Pro
duced Dissatisfaction.
•
The fact that a number of negroes
from Sumter county have left this
section to locate in California has
attracted considerable attention and
several editorials have appeared in
Georgia papers referring to the move
ment, and expressing the fear that it
might be the forerunner of an even
larger movement that would carry
away many of the most desirable class
of negroes from the state.
The Savannah Morning News, in a
recent editorial, expressed the view
that the movement might be due to
the approach of prohibition and dis
franchisement. With his liquor and
his ballot taken from him the negro,
it has been argued, in several papers,
may decide to seek employment and
homes elsewhere.
Yesterday a Times-Recorder repre
sentative talked with several Ameri
cus men who are well acquainted
with the negro population and asked
them what their views were about
it.
Said one of them who comes in fre
quent contact with numerous ne
groes, including those who are hard
working and property owners:
Some Will Leave State
“I am afraid that the disfranchise
ment of the negroes will cause dis
satisfaction and lead to some of the
better class leaving Georgia. I do
not think that prohibition will have
that effect, to any extent.
“But even though they may not
have paid their poll taxes in the past,
or if they did may not not have vot
ed, many of the better grade of ne
groes resent the idea of being arbi
trarily deprived of their vote even
though they never used it in the past.
I have heard of several who have ex
pressed their determination to dis
pose of their holdings and go else
where.
“I do not believe though, that there
will be any movement of sufficient
magnitude to hurt sumter county or
Georgia to any extent. Aggrieved
though they may feel the vast major
ity of the negroes are satisfied here,
they like the life of this section, they
know that they are under easy con
ditions here, and they have no de
sire to push out into the world and
take chances of getting a living else
where. We may lose a few negroes
who are good workers, but I do not
believe that there will be any general
exodus from any part of the State.”
As Another Viewed It
Another well informed man con
firmed this view of the situation.
“There will probably be more negroes
leaving Sumter, as they may leave
other counties, within the next year
or two, but others will move in to
take their places and our labor situa
tion will not be seriously affected. 1
think the intelligent negroes realize
that there is no place like their old
homes, and that Suntler county offers
them just as many opportunities to
make a comfortable living under
pleasant circumstances as California
or any other place.
“After the first year or two under
the disfranchisement law the irrita
tion over it will probably pass away.
I don't believe the negroes as a class
care much about the matter anyway.
The intelligent ones can vote under
the law, and the others won't care
much about it.”
F. Augustus Heinze is another fin
ancier that went up like a rocket and
came down like a stick.
ONLY SIX MORE
MENARE NEEDED.
Better Feeling Among Our
Light Infantry.
The monthly meeting of the Am
ericus Light Ipfantry on Tuesday
night was well attended. About thir
ty of the men were out and were
put through a good drill by Lieut.
Fort. ' The men have improved con
siderably in the manual and in gen
eral military appearance and are de
veloping into an organization that
must reflect credit on the city.
Capt. Van Riper made a brief ad
dress to the men before the drill be
gan, explaining how the finances of
the company, which have been in
bad shape, have been materially im
proved by the donation by the city of
S3OO. This and other assistance will
remove the financial worriment the
company has been laboring under. The
men were much enthused by the re
port.
Capt. Van Riper expressed his sat
isfaction wfith the general personnel
of the company. He believed, he said,
that the men would manifest a great
er degree of interest in the drills and
other company work now that the
burden of debt hanging over them
had been removed. While the State
expects greater things from its mili
tary than in the past he saw no rea
son why the Americus Light Infan
try should not rise fully to all obliga
tions put upon it.
There are now 52 men enrolled in
the Under the new law,
in acordance with the Dick law, it
will be necessary to have 58 enroll
ed men on January 1. It is not be
lieved that there will be any great
trouble experienced in getting the ad
ditional six men.
How to Handle Mohs
General orders No. 13, which are
a compilation of the law and regula
tions covering the use of troops in aid
of civil authority, in cases of riot,
lynching and the like, has just been
received from the press by Adjutant
General A. J. Scott, who is prepared
to distribute copies of the document
to military and civil authorities.
In the matter of firing on mobs the
order states that under no circum
stances is any shot to be fired with
out orders from the proper military
superior.
Troops are not to fire for slight or
inconsequential attacks, but in this
connection the order says: “Shots
fired or missiles thrown are not to
be considered slight attacks. Nothing
so emboldens a mob as a passive re
sistance, and it should never be al
lowed.
“The first stone thrown or the
first shot fired at troops should draw
two or three shots fired under orders
by one or two marksmen designated
by the commander, great care being
taken that the rest of the troops un
derstand that no other shots are to
be fired without orders. t * * * *
Any man in a crowd or on a roof or
at a window, plainly seen to fire a
shot or throw a stone at the troops
should be shot, not by an indiscrimi
nate volley, but by a marksman fir
ing by order at that one man, more
caution, of course, being observed if
the man to be shot is in a crowd
than at a window or on a roof, or at
some other place where he can be
seen apart from other people.
“It would also be wise where it is
possible to do so to have a few dis
creet marksmen stationed on the
roofs of some of the higher buildings
in the neighborhood of the riot to
keep down single firing or throwing
missiles or bricks from chimneys,
from buildings upon the trops.”
REMEMBER.
Yet stricken heart, remember, oh,
remember,
How, of human days he lived the
better part;
April came to bloom, and never chill
December
Breathed its killing chills upon the
head or heart.
Doomed to know not winter—only
spring—a being
Trod the lowering April blithely for
a while,
Took his fill of music, joy of thought
and, seeing,
Came and stayed, and went, nor
ever ceased to smile.
Came and stayed, and went, and now
when all is finished
You alone have crossed the melan
choly stream;
Yours the pang; but his, oh, his the
undiminished,
Undecaying gladness, undeparted
dream.
All that life contains of torture, toil
and treason,
Shame, dishonor, death, to him were
but a name,
Here a boy he dwelt, through all the
singing season,
And ere the day of sorrow depart
ed as he came.
Robert Louis Stevenson.

GREAT BRITAIN FACING
RAILROAD STRIKF
Union Wants 8 Hours and
Recognition.
LONDON, October 24. (Special)
Great Britain is now facing the pos
sibility of the greatest labor strike
in the history of the United King
dom, which may result in tying up
all the railroads of the country. The
voting on the question of a strike
by the members of the Amalgamated
Society of Railway Servants, of
which Richard Bell, M. P., is general
secretary, will- be finished Saturday
and the result will shortly be made
public.’ It is reported that the senti
ment among the men is largely in
favor of a general suspension of
work, in order to secure the recogni
tion of their organization aDd a new
scale of wages and hours.
The reply of the railway compan
ies, which was issued by the council
of the Railway association, says the
council has no power to appoint rep
resentatives to meet the delegates of
the unions and discuss questions
which affect the relations between
individual companies and their em
ployes.
While the chief claim of the union
is for its recognition, it de
mands an eight-hour day for men en
gaged in the movement of trains and
a ten-hour day for others, and a
minimum of the rate and a quar
ter for all time over the standard
hours.
The companies have refused to
grant the union's demand on the
ground that it represents only a
quarter of the men employed, and
also that it would be destruction of
responsible railway control to allow
the "unions to intervene.

WHICH DIOCESE WILL
BISHOP NELSON TAKE?
SAVANNAH, GA„ October 24.
(Special)—Georgia Episcopalians,
particularly, and those of that faith in
other parts of the country, are anx
iously awaiting the decision of Bish
op Nelson as to which diocese in this
state he will choose for his resi
dence.
The general- belief still is that he
will elect to remain bishop of the Dio
cese of Georgia. This belief is some
what strengthened by the fact that
there is to be a convention of the
Diocese of Atlanta in Macon the mid
dle of next month. At this meeting
the bishop will bo voted for, unless,
of course, Bishop Nelson should
spring a surprise and continue to
reside in Atlanta.
