THE NEW RAILROAD.
The campaign for the Americus sub
scription to the new railroad is on. A
committee of prominent citizens have
been appointed to take the matter in
hand and they request and will receive
the co-operation of the people of
Americus and Sumter county.
It is needless to present claims why
the new road will mean so much to
Americus. Its extension from Games,
on the A., B. & A. railroad in Dooly
county, will mean more to this city and
county than any other single enter-
I prise in recent years.
Do your part, and if each person does
his part, the new road will be erected,
and the first train will be pulling into
the city in a few months.
MOTHER’S DAY.
Next Sunday, May 14th, will be ob
-1 served all over the country as “Moth
'er’s Day.”
This is a beautiful custom that has
come into practice in the past few
years, and which grows in popularity
and observance each year. And to our
mind there is no day that we observe
that is more beautiful in thought or
more consecrated in the doing than
this day, for what is more fitting than
that we should one day in each year
pay tribute to the mothers of the
country.
The custom is to wear a white carn
tion or a white flower of some kind in
honor of mother. The same general
plan will be followed, but in some in
stances new innovations will be re
sorted to and the practice will be more
resorted to this year than heretofore.
In many places in addition to the
regular methods of observance special
services will be held that will appeal
most directly to men and they will be
urged to attend these services. Both
Sunday schools and churches will ex
ert every effort to secure extra large
attendances on this day. The schools
will use every effort to secure a large
attendance of mothers, but added
beauty and strength will be given the
occasion where large numbers of men
can be had to swell the congregations,
thus adding honor and dignity to the
spirit that prompts the day's observ
ance.
As another special feature of the
day it is suggested that all persons
who find themselves away from home
should be urged to enter into the zest
and spirit of the occasion by wearing
a flower in honor of the mother from
whom they are absent or who may be
dead, and to those living it is suggested
they make it a point to write a letter
or send a telegram so that it will reach
them on this day.
It is a beautiful thought and should
be appropriated by those away from
their mothers. Mother will be pelased
and you will be the happier for having
shown your love and appreciation in
thus remembering her.
POORLY PAID PEOPLE.
A newspaper man, a preacher and a
school teacher are the three poorest
paid professions, according to news
paper comment which has arisen in
Georgia, especially as far as the Au
gusta Chronicle and Editor John F.
Shannon, of the Commerce News, are
concerned.
As for us, we must insist that the
newspaper man comes first in service
rendered—of its kind, and last in the
amount of pay. The following editor
ial from the Augusta Chronicle is in
teresting:
"Editor Shannon, of The Commerce
News, seems to think The Chronicle is
needlessly concerned over the ‘prov
erbial poverty’ of newspaper men—
this in connection with a reecnt editor
ial in which we merely lamented the
fact that so many talented newspaper
men in Georgia had ‘died poor’—for,
says be, real success in this life does
not depend upon the amount of money
one can accumulate. ‘We need only to
draw a contrast in the lives of Henry
W. Grady, and that of the late James M.
Smith,’ says Editor Shannon, ‘to de
termine whether money is the basis of
success or not. It is on the' contrary,
ti e last and the least item that could
be put into the columns of things con
sidered successful or contributors to
success.’
“Nor were we disputing this view of
life; for. like most other newspaper
men we have learned that duty comes
first, regardless of reward; but we
did feel a bit inclined to contrast the
work and talents of some of the good
newspaper men that we have known
with that of other men in other call
ings, to show that the newspaper pro
fession, as a whole, is not even ade
quately compensated—and with little
or no opoprtunity for its members to
lay up for a rainy day, or for the even
ing of life.
“We think Editor Shannon rather
admits the point as to the weekly edi
tors—even if he does miss it a mile as
to those engaged in the daily field —
when he says:
‘ “From experience and observation
Iwe know that all country editors were
doomed to fill a pauper’s grave but
honestly we did think that the editors
of the great dailies fare better. The
average country editor thinks he is
coining gold, if he can get from eight
to ten dollars a page for advertising,
while the dailies scoop in from one to
two hundred per page.’
“But, as for all that, it is true, as
Brother Shannon suggests that the
average newspaper “makes a larger
contributions to the good of the com
muity than do many men ■who own
large fortunes.” Yet the newspaper
man is not alone in this unrewarded
public service; for as Editor Shannon
points out, there are others in the same
boat —the preacher and the school
teacher. Neither of them ‘working for
money, but for the good of mankind
■ and the glory of God. Os them, he
says:
‘ "This was especially true of the
i ministers who lived half a hundred
i years ago—lived in the saddle and
i preached every day in the week, re-
I ceivin® less than S2OO a year. They
I lived poor and died poor, so far as this
■ world's goods are concerned, and yet
I they were rich in experience and in
fruitfulness and will live in the hearts
and lives of the people they served so
. faithfully, long after they have been
dead. The school teacher is another
example. Where can a faithful, effic
j ient school teacher be found who has
i made money? And who is it, what
class of people on earth render a
greater service, a more valuable ser
vice? And yet, with all their poverty,
the lives of faithful ministers and ef
j ficent school teachers have been suc
cessful lives. The same is true of the
[ conscientious, competent newspaper
man. He fills a sphere that no other
class of men occupy. He does a work
that no other man or agency can do.
He is a power for good in his com
munity if he is an ideal newspaper
man. These three, the minister, the
teacher, and the editor are all in a
class to themselves. They are indis
pensible to the public good, and yet
they live poor and die poor. The
preacher cleaves to his work because
he is called of God. The teacher be
cause he, in most instances, is better
capacitated for that service than any
other. The editor sticks to his job be
cause he loves it.” ’
YOU SAID IT.
"What the country needs is some
men in congress with bones in their

Recorder.

THE NEWSPAPER TALK
It was a debatable question as to
whether the state of Georgia was dryer
on the Ist of May for the want of rain
or the people for the want of whisky.—
Pike County Journal.
The state sanitarium should receive
more money from the state, judging by
the report of the trustees. There is
nothing in Georgia greater than the
state’s charity to its unfortunates.—
Milledgeville News.

It is yet a little dry in Georgia—but

it will be before the summer is ended.

Hooper Alexander says it would be a
crime to sell the state road. It is also
a crime to refuse to grant rights and
privileges to other roads that are en
joyed by the state road.
HARD AT WORK ON
“TALESjniDFFMAN”
The students of the Third District
Agricultural college are busily en
gaged at work on their stage and
settings for the grand opera, “Tales
From Hoffman.” It has been the cus
tom of this school for several years
past to stage a grand opera during the
commencement period, Instead of
Shakesperean plays, and from per-1
formancest in years gone by, the
e?;perimerut has proved successful.
Last season these people gave the
public a grand interpretation of “11
: Trovatore,” and in 1914 “Faust” was
presented for lovers of grand opera.
The talent for the festival is com
posed entirely of students of the
Agricultural college, and the conduc
tors of the entertainment are members
of the faculty.
It has always been well received and
supported by the people of Americus
and surrounding territory, so plans are
being made to care for the crowds on
May 17th, the date of the presentation
of “Tales From Hoffman.”
Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can’t look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.
Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. What’s an inside bath?”
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to
perform miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. It is in*
tended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and the thirty feet of intes
tines of the previous day’s waste, sour
bile and indigestible material left
over in the body which if not eliminat
ed every day, become food for the mil
lions of bacteria whichm infest the
bowels, the quick result is poisons
and toxins which are then absorbed
into the blood causing headache, bil
lions of bacteria which infest the
colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery,
sleeplessness, impure blood and all
sorts o failments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This will
cost very little but is sufficient to
make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as osap and hot water act on
the skin, celansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach, 11?
er, kidneys and bowels. It is vastly
more important to bathe on the inside
than on the outside, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do.

I will have the pool at Magnolia
Springs in first class condition by May
Ist, and I will have cottages ready and
