WHAT IS A KISS
In view of the recent agitation as to
whether it is permissable for a girl
and her best beau to kiss in Atlanta
the question has teen asked by many,
just what is a kiss?
Every lovesick swain has his own
idea of just what a kiss is. To him is
surpasses the ambrosia of the gods in
Sweetness. But is there any one defi
nition that fits it?
The Atlanta Georgian has pulled

down divers dusty books of learning
and concocted the following series of

GOOD ADVICE FOR WHITE AS
WELL \S BLA( K
Booker T. Washington, the negro ed
ucator has issued a bulletin to the ne-
J groes of Alabama advising them to
ra se their own feed supplies. The ar
ticle is along the right line and even
tho’ it is from the pen of a negro :t is
good advice for the white farmer es
well as for the colored filler of the
soil. The solution of the farm prou
lem would be easier to bring about if
the advice was followed.
The article is headed, “A Personal
Word to Macon County (Alabama) Col
ored Farmers and Hons-keepers, Men
| Women and Children.’’
The success of the churches, schools,
and home depends largely upon the
success of the farm and garden.
As farmers, no matter how much
cotton you may grow, and no matter
how high the price may be, you will be
little.better off if you have to spend al.
the money you get from cotton in buy
ing food for the family and stock.
Let me tell you in plain words how
to avoid this mistake:
First, Stop throwing away the
months of September, October, Novem
ber and December.
Second, Have something growing
on your farm and garden every month.
Do not stop work after you have gath
ered your cotton crop.
During September, October, Novem
ber and December, the following grains
can be planted and grown: Oats (Burt
for early grazing and Rust Proof),
home-grown Rye, Wheat, Hairy Vetch,
Crimson Clover and Alfalfa. October
is the best month for planting.
The following vegetables can be
planted and grown: Rape Beets (early
varieties), Turnips (Purple-strap leaf
and White Milan), Rutabagas (Purple
Top), Lettuce, Rarish, English Peas
(bunch \arieties), Onion Sets, Shallots,
Collards Georgia Whites and Blue
Stem-, Cabbage (Early Flat Dutch and
Early Jersey Wakefield), Kale, Mus
tard, Carrots, Parsnip, Parsley, As
paragus Roots.
Most of the above must be planted
not later than September tc make it
profitable. The seeds cost little and
can be gotten at most any drug store
or grocery store.
The following fowls can be raised in
Macon County during any one of these
months: Chickens—Rhode Island Red,
Barred Rock, Games (Shawl Neck),
Leghorn (White and Brown).
Encourage each girl to have her
own fowls. If you have no fowls, in
stead of wasting your cotton money,
buy some fowls to start on.
The following Live Stock can be
raised in Macon County: Hogs
(Berkshire, Essex, Red Jersey, Po
land China), Cows (Jersey, Short
Horn), Goats (common), Mules and
Horses (bred so as to increase size).
Every boy in the family should have
one or more pigs or colts. Buy a pair
of pigs with some of your cotton mon
ey.
The following Fruit Trees, Berries,
etc., can he set out during the fall
months: Peach (early varieties —May-
flower. Sneed, Greensboro; later, Car
man, Alexander, Belle of Georgia; lat
er, Elberta, Chinese Cling), Figs in
varieties, Apples, Pears (Keiffer and
Keiffer Hybrids), Plums (Japanese,
Abundance, Wickson, Burbank, Wild
Goose and its several varieties),
Grapes (Scuppernong, Concord.
Moore’s Early, Rogers’ Hybrid, Nia
gara. Delaware), Strawberries (Im
proved Lady Thompson, Heflin, Brandy
Wine and Grady). Nuts—Pecan (Ste
wart, Texas Paper Shell, etc.), Chest
nuts and English Walnuts.
I hope you will fellow this advice
ivbether you are renting land or culti
vating your own land.
My final word to each Macon County
farmer is this: Do not put off the fol
lowing of this advice. Do not find ex
cuses. Begin at once to put this ad
vice into practice, and both you and
your family will he prosperous and
I happy.
Within the past few years great itn
| provements have ben made in nearly
! all the directions that 1 have mention
j ed. but there is opportunity for still
• greater improvement.
Egotism has tripped many a great
man on the road to success.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECCRDER.
HELP THE NEW ORGANIZATION
The state Chamber of Commerce is
planning to send a train throughout
the northwest next spring to advertise
Georgia. This is a move in the right
i
direction. Georgia is the best state in
the Union and it's up to us to inform
I
the rest of the people about it.
The new organization is going to do
work along this line. In fact that was
what it was formed for. It will be a
big press agent for the entire state.
There is to be no such a thing as Norm
or South Georgia. It’s to be plain
GEORGIA.
Every merchant, farmer, manufac
turer, in fact every citizen can at least
lend his inoral aid to the movement.
It’s a good thing so let’s ge behind it
and boost. Will you do your share?
\ CASE WHERE A MAN HAD TO EX
PRESS A GOOD OPINION OF
HIMSELF
In the October American Magazine
a contributor writes an article entitled
"Humors of the Courts,” which con
sists largely of funny true stories that
lawyers tell of their experiences. The
following is a story about a man who
was placed in a position where he was
obliged to express a good apinion of
himself:
“There is a story about Rolland, the
great electrician. Rolland had a fine
opinion of himself, as have many com
petent men. After he had finished a
hard task years ago for a big company,
he sent his hill to the president. It
was a good bill—for ten thousand dol
lars. It wasn't long before a check
came, but it was a check for only one
half the amount, and with it was u
note saying that doubtless a mistake
had been made. It angered Rolland to
think that anyone should estimate his
services at five thousand dollars. He
returned the check with a message
that an error certainly had been made,
as the president had suspected, and
that the bill should fee twenty-five
thousand dollars. Os course payment
was refused and in time, as was in
evitable, suit began. The great Joseph
Choate examined Rolland.
“ 'Upon what grounds,’ he demanded
of the witness, ‘do you base this exor
bitant charge of twenty-five thousand
dollars for your services as electri
cian?’
' " Upon the ground,’ replied Rolland,
1 ‘that I am the greatest electrician in
the world.’
“Choate was astonished, and every
one in the court room presumably
I shared the feeling. When Rolland left
the stand a friend acosted him gravely.
! 'Oh, that was awful, Rolland!’ said he.
’ 'That was terribly conceited to say
you were the greatest electrician in
r the world.’
* “‘I know it was replied Rolland. ‘lt
certainly was, and 1 felt like a cad
sitting up there saying it, but, d it,
man, I was under oath.’ ”

The following is the limit. Evident
. iy the editor of the Lee Connty Journal
, swallows all the press agent dope
j | handed out from Albany. In spite o.'
j j the fact that the papers all over th*
j state heralded the news that Albanv
j was going to carry a trainload to the
I convention, they arrived there with
ionly ten delegates. Wake up, Long!
j Americus not only had the neatest
! piece of advertising there, but thev
. | also carried the largest delegation
I from South Georgia. Georgia kept
qui t until the time to act and thea
pulleS off their stunt.
Read what the Journal says:
“Albany and Americus, our hustling
neighbors, vied with each other ,i
making themselves felt at the recent)
state chamber of commerce meeting in J
Macon, Albany carried in a special
train the largest delegation from |
|southern Georgia, while Americus went!
II
j armed with a special edition of The l
11
showing the advant
ages of that thriving section. The
Journal congratulates most of its lusty |
1 neighbors.”

SOME COMPLIMENTS
—t
Such notices as the following make
a fellow feel good. It's an incentive
to work harder than ever when the
little things you do attract attention.
The Augusta Chronicle says:
“The Americus Times-Recorder’s
“booster edition” was capital. The pa
per has a right to feel proud of the
publication.
The Thomasville Times-Enterpnse
says:
“The Americus Times-Recorder
takes rank with the best papers in a
town of the ten-thousand class. It a
latest is the appearance of a State
Chamber of Commerce edition, with
attractive illustrations and boostm
comments.”
Thank you both.
