♦ THOUGHT FOR THE DAY. ♦
*♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream,
to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads
to lift.
Shun not the struggle face it—it's
God’s gift.
Be strong!
Say not the days are evil, who’s to
blame
How hard the battle goes, the days
how long,
Faint not, fight on. Tomorrow comes
the song.
—Maltbie D. Babcock, D. D.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
FIGHT DEVtLOPS OVER
JAS. M. SMITH ESTATE
ATHENS, Ga., Feb. 8. —The ordina
ry’s court at Lexington, Oglethorpe
county, convened with hundreds or
persons flocking to the county seat to
be present when the ordinary named
the permanent administrators of the
late Colonel "Jim” Smith, the mil
lionaire Georgia farmer, who died
suddenly December 11, intestate.
A fight developed over the adminis
trators proposed, Nat D. Arnold, of
Lexington, and Andrew C. Erwin, Ath
ens, and Larkin K. Smith, of Wilkes
county. These had been requested by
descendants of Zadock Smith, who is
given in the biographies of the big
farmer as his father.
Henry K. Smith, John C. Smith and
W. W. Smith, of Habersham county,
were the cavaetors.
They allege that the late Colonel
Smith was the son of Sallie Smith,
who was daughter of Charles Smith,
of Habersham. It is stated that the
avidence in this contention will show
that James M. Smith ,as a child, was
adopted by an aunt, and that she later
married Zadock Smith, who has been
known as the father of James M.
Smith.
The Habersham line of the Smith
family claim through their relation
ship to Sallie Smith, that they are the
next kin to the deceased, and not the
hitherto generally recognized closest
kin, and apparent heirs to the vast
properties, the Zadock Smith line?
Still another caveat was filed
through Attorney Joe James, of At
lanta, for William Smith, of Concord,
Ga., objecting to the appointment of
the administrators suggested by the
Zadock Smith descendants, claiming
that they are not the next of kin.
Late this afternoon, on account of
sickness of parties who will be wit
nesses in these sensational develop
ments in the biggest farm property
left by one man in the state, the hear
ing was continued by the ordinary to
the fourth Monday in February.
In the meantime Messrs. Arnold,
Erwin and Smith, temporary adminis
trators, will continue in charge of the
hstate.
Twenty lawyers from a dozen cities
and towns are representing various
parties in the case, among the num
ber former Supreme Court Justice A. J.
Cobb and H. M. Holden, and former
Governor Noell, of Mississippi.

Tanking Up
Is What All
Want To Do
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. B.—The phrase
“tanking up” as applied to the laying
in of alcoholic beverages may soon ac
quire a mors literal meaning, if the
astonishing anti-prohibition plans of a
fcroup of young Atlanta clubmen are
put into actual execution.
After discussing the coming drought
(they all call it drouth, being native
born Georgians) one of them who owns
an automobile had the brilliant idea
that they might combine resources,
order several hundred gallons of
Scotch in advance, purchase an un
derground gasoline tank, sink it in one
one of their backyards, and pipe it up
as they needed it.
The only possible objection to the
plan is that the police sleuths may lo
cate the tank. In which event a good
deal of fine whiskey would be confiscat
ed or poured out in the gutter.
