CLEAN-UP WEEK.
Americus has joined in the nation
wide movement for Clean-Up Week. ■ 1
Mayor L. G. Council, of this city, has <
issued a proclamation requesting all
people of Americus to co-operate ia
the campaign of cleaning up the city.
Mrs. J. W. Harris, Jr., president o’
the Music Study club, the only Ameri
cus organization affiliated with the
Federation of Woman’s clubs, has di
rect charge of the campaign in Ameri
cus.
For the sake of the city and the i
health of every person in Americus 't
i behooves all to interest themselves in
' the city by cleaning up during this
week especially. I
In truth every week should be a
clean-up week and every day should be
a cleaning up day.

lent diseases which mock mankind will
make their charges. Protect your

Clean up!
A LONG-NEEDED LAW.
Representative Crisp, of Americus,
has presented to the House a bill which
if enacted into a federal statute, is cal
culated to make prohibition prohibit in
prohibition states.
This bill would prevent the internal
revenue department from issuing a re
ceipt for the sale or manufacture of al- •
coholic liquors in the territory of the
United States where the sale or manu
facture is prohibited by state law.
If this bill is passed, dry states will
be dry in fact. For the sale of liquor
f would be offensive to Uncle Sam, and
the old gentleman is rather particular,
vigorous and prompt about taking ho
tice of personal affronts. In addition,
it will tend to intensify the growing
sentiment in favor of national prohi
bition.
There are so many bills introduced
it. congress every year, so few really
meritorious, that the best are often
lost in the shuffle. But it is to be hoped
that Representative Crisp’s will com
mend itself to the consideration of the
House. If passed by that body, its pas
sage through the Senate would not be
(difficult. —Macon News.
POPE BROWN.
Judge John A. Cobb, of Americus, re
tiring president of the Georgia State
Agricultural society, makes the sug
gestion that Pope Brown, of Hawkins
ville, be elected to head the society for
the ensuing twelve months at the an
nual meeting tp be held in Athens next
month. It is understood that Mr.
Brown’s friends will offer his name and
are already actively promoting his in
terests in aspiring to this office.
It looks to The Telegraph like a
P’etty good selection. Mr. Brown is a
man who for a good number of years
has devoted considerable of Ills not in
valuable time to projects looking to the
general development and progress ot
the state and its institutions. In mat
ters agricultural he has ever since <
youth been closely engaged both as a
practical farmer with fairly' extensive :
personal operations and as a student i
and exponent of the necessary theory i
coming more and more to be such a vi
tal necessity in soil tillage in the
Southeast. In addition he is a man o<
large affairs generally, of more than 1 :
oidinary broad and comprehensive per-' i
spective and accustomed to dealing'
with public matters from a state-wide';
angle. The distinction to be conferred
on him would not be merely an earned <
personal honor for him, but should re-!
dound in no light measure to the suc
cess and exaltation of the society, an :;
oreaniation that has bezcome an in- j
creasingly potent factor in the most
important development Georgia has
been experiencing in the last genera- ,
* ion.— Macon Telegraph.

BURWELL’S CANDIDACY.
(
Speaker Willim H. Burwell, of the
Georgia house of representatives has
definitely said he would not be a can
qidate for governor this year, but pe
culiarly makes his announcement for
I two years hence, according to some of
the wise political observers in Geor
gia.
Mr. Burwell spoke very plainly on
several questions which are interest
in Georgia today. He might think that
they will not grow prominent enough
in the present campaign to warrant
' spokesmen, but possibly in two years
it will be an occasion for his entry.
Georgia’s political seasons cover too
fnuch time now. A man is running
months and months before his an
nouncement. The new law which
gives county officers a four years’ term
will doubtless save Georgia from some
(■f her troubles, but it is not a cure
ail.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, one of the can
didates for governor in the present
campaign, was deefated in 1914, and
almost immediately he began his cam
paign for the next election. Aftei
Governor Harris had been in office on
'y seven months, his opposition became
open and active.
A good man has no time to fill the
duties of his office. Can't we have a
little peace of mind for the cjce-holder 9
—and. when a decent, opportune time
i arises then oppose him honorablv.

UNCERTAIN GREECE.
A new phase has been given the sit
nation of Greece as it relates to the
European war. The aeroplanes of
the Central Powers have bombarded
Saloniki, w'here a large force of the
Entente Allies are entrenched. The
air-machines of the Teutons brought
about some destruction bn their visit.
Greece has made representations to
the Central Powers, complaining of
the raid. The news despatches say
tnat Greece feels and realizes she is at
the mercy of the Entente Powers.
If Greece assumes this attitude, then
the quicker she enters the war the
better. Her neutrality is costing the
Allies almost as much ar her enmity.
They are floating her loans continu
ously; they must protect themselves
against any sudden turn which Greece
may take; they were afraid to cam
paign very far into the Balkans, be
cause Greece wmuld be in their rear.
From all indications, a woman has
held sway of power in Greece. A sis
ter of the Kaiser of Germany is the
wife of the King of Greece. She has
manifested enough power to keep
Greece out of the war, especially in
opposition to the Teutons.
Greece is coming to the parting of
the ways. After the w-ar is over, her
present position will give her no favor.
She must fight to share, and, of course,
she desires to share.
MIGHTIER THAN BEFORE.
The Augusta Chronicle has announc
ed their plans for the future.
This staid old Southern newspaper,
founded in 1785, has survived war, pes
tilence, flood and fire. Undaunted it
stands as a splendid beacon for all
journalism.
The Augusta Herald, while not quite
so gray with years of toil, is also a
splendid example of a dauntless type
of journalism.
The Chronicle proposes to occupy a !
building totally for newspaper pur
poses, and much to the regret of many
of their friends, will not stay on
Broad street, where years have made
the Chronicle a land-mark. But there
are conditions which govern all
things.
It is quite unique ini the life of a
newspaper to be printed in a city over
a hundred miles from its real home
Through the courtesy of the Macon
News, the Chronicle is permitted to
piint its regular morning paper and
circulate in Augusta with the same
promptness as if it was all done in
j Augusta. Leased telephone and tele
graph lines make the matter of local
news comparatively easy for the staff
T the Chronicle.
The Herald is being printed in Thom
son at the plant of the Jefferson Pub
lishing Co., and this prominent after
noon paper win be back in Augusta as
soon as modern machinery can ar
rive and be installed. I

SALTS FINE FOR
ACHJNGJLIDNEYS
ME EAT TOO MUCH MEAT, WHICH
CLOGS KIDNEYS, THEN BACK
HURTS AND BLADDER BOTHERS
YOU.
Mcst folks forget that the kidneys
like the t owels, get sluggist and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region,, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts
of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice combined with
litliia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive,
i makes a delightful effervescent lithia
i water drink which everybody should
I take now and then to keep their kid •
. neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
whie it is only trouble.

'TO CURVE MEMORIAL
ON STONE MOUNTAIN
ATLANTA, Ga., March 30.—Gutzen
Borglum, the noted sculptor who will
carve on the granite face of Stone
i Mountain a stupendous memorial to
the Southern Confederacy, has mov
ed his family to Atlanta, and estab
lished a studio near the mountain,
where he will be at work every day.
The memorial will be a bas-relief
picture of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and
other prominent leaders grouped on
horses with their staff officers and
an army going into battle w-ith ar
tillery, cavalry and infantry. The
carving will cover a precipice 4C-'J
feet high and 2,000 feet long and
will be without a parallel among all
the great memorials of the world,
not even excepting the sphinx and
pyramids of Egypt.
The sculptors will work in iron
cages suspended by steel cables from
the top of the mountain, and it will
take years to complete the memorial,
the cost being estimated at $3,000.-
00 °- iflMi
The use of the mountain for this
purpose, and of a large tract of land
on the side of the mountain to be
. sarved, has been deeded to an asso
ciation by Sam Venable, of Atlanta,
who owns the mountain.
9
In addition to the bas-relief there
• will be a magnificent temple cut in ■
. to the solid granite of the mountain
• side. In front of the temple will be
massive pillars and leading up to it
will be steps cut into the granite.
1 This temple will be the shrine of
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy, and the general meeting of that
organization will be held there every
• year.
