THE FINAL ACTIOS.
The nomination of Louis D. Brand
tig to the supreme court bench of the
United States as an associate justice
has been confirmed by the United
.States Senate.
Senator New lands said to be a dem
ocrat from Nevada, was the only dis
senting vote among the Democratic
ranks, while several Republican sen
i ators voted to confirm the nomination.
And it will be remembered that thia
; same Senator Newland* U the grand
I American character who assailed the
action of William J. Harris, of Geor
gia, for being present in Macon dur
ing a state political convention. That
fellow- is certainly a great senator
end the people of Nevada are to be
complimented on having a represer
tatlve in the legislative halls whose
'mind is so big. so large, so wonderful
■--as to back his judgment against the
president of the United States. Why,
i ladies and gentlemen, he la no ordin
ary man.
It is to be questioned whether the
l usefulness of Mr. Branded on the
bench has been impaired by the ex
traordinary investigation which has
■ taken place. Certainly President Wil
son has confidence in him, and that's
enough for us.
By-the-way, Georgia's two senators
came back to the fold on the vote and
assented to the confirmation of the
justice.
A REAL EDITOR.
Down among the orange groves of
Florida can be found a real editor —
who deserves the title of “man.” The
newspaper occupies a peculiar posi
tion because his every word is laid
bare for public criticism. But as long
as he believes he is right, then a real
man is found. The following is from
the Jacksonville Metropolis:
“Florida's editorial ranks has a real
hc-nest-to-goodness scrapper in Editor
Emmett of the Pensacola News, who
aerries the following challenge to a
prominent Pensacola business man on
the first page of his issue of a recent
date:
‘“To the Public:
Having read the statement writ
ten by , I want to state
that he does not know how- to deal
w ith the truth and that utterances by I
him concerning the whipping given,
him in front of the postoifice Monday,
morning. Regardless of the fact that
he has been openly boasting his prow
ess, I will agree to meet him on the
bridge at Little Bayou at midnight
Thursday night and there In the
moonlight settle w-hether or not he is
the man he claims to be. The only
rule we Insist on is that he lie pro
hibited from biting, as he attempted
to chew our ear during the encounter
Monday.
"JAMES A. EMMETT’’.
THE 1917 CHAUTAUQUA.
The business men of Americus de
serve to be congratulated for the man
ner in which they responded to guar
antee that this city will have a Chau
tauqua in 1917.
The Times-Recorder believes in
these institutions, and thinks that the
people who have the matter in charge
should be warmly received.
The ladles of the city have spent
several years in hard work on the
Chautauqua, and It is appropriate thnt
I the citizen* in the business life of
Americue should assume some of the
responsibility.
It is to be hoped that Americus will
have a good Chautauqua In 1917.
The local merchant complains that
ti e people go away from home to buy
their goods, patronizes the mail order
houses, yet he goes along in the same
I old way, never advertising or invit
ing them to trade with him and wond
ers why it is thus. The reason should
be plain even to a blind man.
The Third District Agricultural
.fair is going to lie a great affair. On
. e'ery hand indications of this can be
; seen and heard. All connected
itherewith have their tdioulders to the
wheel and are pushing wilh all their
might. This is what ft takes to bring
success, and tills is just what the
Third District Agricultural fair is go
ing to be.
A ROAD TO EACH.
"If the good roads movement has
made any difference in the road that
ieads to the beyond. we have not
heard about it,” says the Americus
Times-Recorder.
There are two ‘beyonds" and a
road leading to each. Better be care
ful about which one you travel. One
is broad and leads to destruction. The
other is narrow and leads to glory. Ba
careful, brother, be careful.—Coium
b-.s Enquirer-Sun.
Sure Mike, we had almost forgotten
• -hat other road. Yes, indeed, we’ll
be careful. Thanks, awfully.

Mr. J. T. Pope has just received the

From now on: the flour mill owned

Harris can yet redeem that solemn

A MERCILESS JUDGE
——
One Who Shows No Favor.
A merciless judge is Father Time.
' Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth can
.-.rand. For years the following state
! ment from an Americus resident has
withstood this sternest of all tests.
Mrs. Alice L. Cobb, 630, Forsyth St.,
Americus, says: "I was subject to at
tacks of pain across the small of my
back. Sometimes I had dull headaches,
felt languid and had but little energy.
I was advised to try Doan’s Kidney
Pills and since using them, have be-m
feeling much better. They relieved me
of the pain in my back and my kid
neys became normal.” (Statement
given March 28. 1908.)
Lasting Results.
MORE THAN SIX YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Cobb said: “No one could be
more glad than I to again recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills. I haven’t needed
any since they last benefited me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that
Mrs. Cobb has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AHO
CULTIHFE IRISH POTATOES
Fall potatoes: One of the most prof
itable crops, and one of the most use
ful that can be possibly be planted on
our Southern farms, is the fall crop
of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do so, and
the interest is increasing. This crop is
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary cel
lar, barn or any other dry cool place,
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that a perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
growm year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
A perfect stand can be secured from
tills seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to germinate immediately after
being painted in the ground. They
will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 220 years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato is
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
fro: i scab. They are the best to keep,
heavy yielders, are mealy and the
very best of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex
tensively is because they can be cul
tivated at a time when labor is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights of September
and October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with a2 to 4-inch
scooter, harrowed thoroughly with a
disk harrow, and a few days after this
ground should be turned deep with a
two-horse plow; harrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
5 and 7 days a weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep it open and moisture circulat
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the sth of July to the 20th of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it requires
about 90 days for them to mature.
W. J. Josey has a limited amount of
these potatoes on hand, put in your
order to be in time, adv.
