Preparations for the May Day festiv
• ivies have been going forward rapidly.
The Virginia reel in the seventh grade
is going to be a country dance, with
the boys and girls appropriately cos
tumed for the occasion.
When Miss Hardy first started she
got Miss Nannie Sue to help her, so
our editor-m-chief, Isabel Wheatley,
taught Miss Nannie Sue’s class. Isa
belle said they all behaved nicely, ex
cept one little boy, and she had to send
him in the cloak room.
We are doing some of the prettiest
art work that we’ve done this year. We
made a very pretty water scene the
other day. We used the cut paper and
torn paper entirely. The work was
done on blue paper. White paper was
used for a little boat and a moon with
its reflection. With dark brown paper
we made a little row of hills right
along the sky line.
The way we made these, we cut them
out and pasted them on the blue paper.
Mr. Mathis came in our room and
said our work was fine. We certainly
did feel complimented.
We had four distinguished visitors
Friday. They were:
Dr. Phoenix, Pres, of Hampton Col
lege, Va.; Mr. Davis, General Agent of
Southern Educational Board; Mr. God
dard, Supervisor for Southern Educa
tional Board in Georgia, and Hon.
Crawford Wheatley.
They went in all different depart
ments and in some of the class rooms.
We have just finished the study of
eggs in our Domestic Science work. We
cooked eggs in every way imaginable,
boiled, fried, scalloped, porehed scram
bled and creamed.
Our very first lesson we made t_-a.
Now- we’v;e started pies. Last time we
made apple pie. Next time we are
hoping for mince. It is quite a change
from tea to pies.
Tuesday Miss McKean asked ten 7-2
boys to stay in after school and help
her. We wondered what she wanted.
When they got in the Domestic Sci
ence room Miss McKean told them that
she wanted them to help her serve the
teachers who were having a meeting
in Miss Lizzie’s room.
We carried in plates and cups and
knives and forks like real waiters.
Those plates had a piece of pie and
seme sandwiches and pickles. We al
so took them a cup of tea.
Ottie Prather Johnson said that if
they made him take in all that pie and
didn’t give hi many it would be “Tax
ation without Representation.”
He got some though.
Friday was the day for writing the
theme on "Reconstruction,” to try for
the medal offered by the U. D. C’s.
The conditions were that the theme
should be from one thousand to fifteen
hundred words in length and strictly
original.
The papers were signed fictitiously
ai d the same name was written
or. the outside of an envelope con
taining the real name of the writer,
and the envelope sealed, so there
would not be any dissatisfaction at the
decision of the judges.
We have finished our seventh grade
speller and we have taken up little
words like don’t, which, where, their
and there, etc. But one of the most
Highly educated men in the United
I States says these are the oftenest mis
spelled words of all.
Friday we made designs for pillow
tops. When we bet them finished we
are going to stencil them on the cov
ers ourselves.
Mrs. Henry Johnson was a visitor
«last week.
THE HIGH SCHOOL
Well .after a long absence from this
paper, the news of the Americus High
school is once more going to appear
in the Americus Times-Recorder every
Sunday morning. And while we have
not much to talk about this morning,
! tliat’ s not saying that it is true every
time. You know since Principal Lam
bert left the shadows of our high
school th? students have been having
o.uite a time learning our new rules
ai d regulations. For instance the
pupils no longer chang? periods, be
cause the faculty decided that it was
a waste of time and so now the teach
ers do all the changing and are the
only ones who can gossip and take
“just one more bite” between classes.
And again instead of having just one
recess, as has long been the custom
of the high school, Prof. Hale has
granted us two and the students are
unanimously in favor of te nehw sys
tem.
Athletics.
Prof. John G. Holst, athletic direc
tor at the school, has his baseball and
track men in first class shape and the
indications are that our high school
will have one of the best teams in the
entire state. Mr. Holst has about thir
ty candidates for the squad and they
are rapidly rounding into perfection.
More interest is being shown in the
diamond sport this year than ever be
fore and the boys are bound to have a
winner The faculty has been after
the eflolws to start practice for the
High school meet at Cordele, April
14th and 15th and at last the boys are
beginning to come out for track work.
1 here are many candiaddtes for eaech
contest and the men are practicing
every day. Mr. Hoist has charge of
the squad and under his guindance
the candidates are rapidly improving.
Word from all over the district says
that the other schools in the associa
tion are out for our scalp and the
Americus High school is determined
to win every thing in sight.
In Literary Contests.
And the contestants for the literary
events are very active in their prep
arations for the big meet at Cordele.
Most of this work comes under the
English department and Prof. Clem
ent is busy putting the local represen
tatives in preparation. The essay con
testants, the debaters and the declaim
ed have already been selected and Mr.
Clement is 1 elping them arrange their
(pieces.
Te Compete With Essay.
The history departments are busily
engaged in preparing for the big essay
assigned the schools of the state by
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy. The contest will be called
Monday and the Americus chapter
c.-apter hopes to have many fine es
says on “Reconstruction in Georgia”
turned in by the students of the
Americus High school. Prof. Witt
lias been reading references from “The
Un written South” and “The Ku Klux
Klan” to the members of the Senior
classes for several days and the mem
bers of the class have their essays in
fine shape. And while we are on this
subject we had better mention the fine
success a last year’s student of this
school obtained with her essay on
"The Causes of the War Between the
States. ’ It will be recalled that Miss
Nanalynet Brown of the ’ls Class won
the medal for the best paper from the
Americus schools. Well, her paper
was sent on to the State Confedera
tion's headquarters and there it was
judged along with hundreds of other
papers. After a very close race the!
judges gave Miss Brown third place
for the entire state. Miss Brown is
now residing in South Carolina The
head of the Departmenet of United
States history in the high school, Prof.
C. H. Witt is very anxious for the
first prize to go to a student of the
High school this year and lie is mak
ing every effort possible to aid the
contestants.
Pref. Noyes Popular.
Prof. Noyes, who came to take the
science department when Prof. Lam
bert went to Hawkinsville, is proving
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
very popular with all the students
and facuty. Mr. Noyes one taught in
I the Americus schools long ago and
hundreds of friends he made while
' here then welcomed him on his return,
j Prof. Noyes is a writer of recognized
I ability and he is rendering very much
aid to all the essay contestants.
Rev. Lawrence Visits.
Rev. Janies B. Lawrence made his
regular trip to the school Thursday
| and his short talk was very much en
joyed by all those present. These ad
i dresses by Rev. Lawrence are very
; instructive and are most interesting.
I*lll3 next visit is looked forward to
! with pleasure by the students and
faculty.
New System of Elections.
We’ll just have to tell you about
our new system of carrying on elec
tions. It was formerly our custom to
i
| have the officers of the litertry society
elected by acclamation, but that has
been discarded. We now are forced
to register, just as the people who are
busy up town every day dodging can
didates do. And they make us pay an
lawful amount to register. Just think
about make us pay for tlie privilege•
of casting a ballot for a fellow who
si ould be tickled to death to receive
bur vote. However the sum is not
what you might call too large, they
make us pay a penny to put our John
Hancock on a long roll. The students
are divided into two political parties,
Democrats and Bull Moose.
THE BEST PROOF
Given by an Americus citizen.
Doan’s Kidney Pills were used —
they brought benefit.
The story was told to Americus res
idents.
Time has strengthened the evidence.
Has proven the result lasting.
The testimony is home testimony—
The proof convincing.
It can be investigated by Americus
residents.
A. C. Alexander, grocer, 712 Spring
St., Americus, says: "My back caused
me much suffering and I was hardly
able to perform my duties ®n account
of the pains. Th® action of my kidneys
was very irregular and too frequent,
causing me to get up a number of
times at night. Doan’s Kidney Pills
soon relieved me of the pain in my
back and the action of my kidneys be
came regular. The pains left and 1
have never felt them since.”
(Statement given March 18. 1910.)
A Permanent Cure.
MORE THAN FOUR YEARS LATER,
Mr. Alexander said: "Doan’s Kidney
Pills made a cure for me which has
proven permanent and lasting now and
ruy back and kidneys don’t bother me a
bit.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Dean's Kidney Pills— the same that
Mr. Alexander has twice publicly rec
ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props..,

LONDON, March IL—The price of
straw hats in London is to be advanc

The reason is that the straw plait
which comes chiefly from Japan, will
be higher in price, while the cost of
production has already so advanced.
Makers are economizing in material.
The ribbon will be slightly narrower i
than heretofore and the average hat j
will have a three-inch crown with

Some People Would Have The
English Forbid U. S. Films
LONDON, March 11. —There is re
newed discussion of the proposal that
the Government prohibit importation of
moving picture films, both as a means
of national economy and as a step to
wsrd building up home industry in the
"movie” field.
Nine-tienths of all the films shown in
England are imported from the United
States and France. It is estimated that
the trade with American film producers
sends to the United States no less than
$10,000,000 a year, thus helping to buil-l
up a foreign trade balance against
(heat Britain and taking much gold
out of the country.
England is taking to her economies
reluctantly and there is a wide diver
gence of views as to the moving pic
ture, or “cinema” theatres as they are
called here. Several o fthe leading
Ixmdon newspapers are advocating the
ban against the imported film and have
grown outspoken in their denunciation
of teh American product in particular.
While admitting that some of the pic
ture productions from the. States are
■pic-ritorious they assert that "Rattle
snake Pete,” "Broncho Bill,” and other
"cow person” dramas predominate in
the American field and are "quite unin
telligible to our people.”
But the American “movie” has
staunch friends and it is asserted that
if American productions were barred
the theatres throughout the British
Isles would be forced to close. The
i English productions could not begin to
[fili the demand and it is said the in
dustry newer could grow to great pro
portions here because the light and at
mospheric conditions cannot compare
to those in Cal’foTiia and other parts
of the United States. Those in opposi
tion to the film importation, however,
claim that Great Britain can lead the
world in this iddustry as in others.
There are about 5,000 moving pic
ture theatres in the Kingdom and their
billboards all proclaim American pro
ductions. Most of the American film
stars have their distinctive followings
i.i England.
In urging that American films be
PAGE THREE
barred, the influential London Time*
says:
"We are buying American Aims to
the extent of $10,000,000 at a time
when there are only two legitimate
objects on which British money should
be spent.
“One of these objects is the promo
tion of victory in the field; the other,
which is closely allied, is the promo
tion of a sound national spirit in the
people at home. The importation of
American films, so far from promoting
either of these objects, is a direct ob
stacle to both. Nor do these films, ob
tained at such cost, promote the na
tional well-being. The majority of
them are concerned with little that ia
of good report, for they portray an at
mosphere of crime and intrigue aa*
back-stairs humor in the crude colore
of a sham romance.”
The importers of American films
have suggested to the producers in the
I’nited States that all amounts receiv
' d in London, less office and other ex
pense, ofr American films shall be to
vested in Exchequer bonds or war
loans and placed with the Bank of
England under an undertaking that
they point out would be in the interst
o' national economy which is the reaa
on for the threat to bar foreign films.
