SOME TEACHER THIS. Teaching teachers how to teach i> a business. The real teacher must show up from nature, just as the real knife has the metal in it will take a good keen edge. Teachers are born, not made, but they may be improved, just as the knife may be sharpened.—Marietta News THE JAIL SRNTINCE. Judge Rourke, in Savannah, has sent a violator of the state prohibition laws ,to the chain gang without the alternative of paying a fine. The Sa vannah courts are working hand in: hand with the new law, and what was l heretofore known as the “state of Chatham ’ has become a real part of Georgia. It is not the policy of substantial I and conservative newspaper? to be little or advise the courts, but the I Times-Recorder believes every court in the state could work much good if , it followed the policy of Judge Rourke. Send the offender to the chain gang, 1 and the community will be freed of their pestilence for at least twele I months. In commenting on the sentence, the, ,Savannah Morning News says: I Because the prohibition laws are law, they should be enforced, and if ' comparatively light sentences will not have the desired effect, heavier sen tences must be imposed. The laws were not written to permit persons to r sell iquor by paying fines periodically; —such fines, for example, as would about equal license fees if there were no prohibition laws. But they were written to be obeyed, and it is the duty of every person charged with enforcing the laws to do his part Li seeing that they are obeyed to the I letter and without recourse to a sub erfuge that would permit them to be violated. No judge likes to send any ibody to jail, but at times it is his duty; whenever it is his duty, he would not be an upright judge if he failed to do fc. He would be rcreant to his trust if he permitted his own opinion as to tte theory of prohibition to prevent him from doing his exact duty as a judge. It is unlawful to sell whiskey in Sa vannah; any man who sells it here knows he is violating law when he! . does it, and he deserves no sympathy. I i II he is sent to jail for a flagrant vio lation, he has only himself to blame. If he expects to sell whiskey and | avoid punishment, he must have the opinion that either the authorities of; the law can be outwitted and deceived• or else that they do not intend to do their duty. The result of the case in which a jail sentence was imposed ysterday should be taken &s evidence that the authorities are not to be de ceived very long, and that they are doing their duty.” PIGS AND BANKS. With our readers permission we will break away from a discussion of war, preparedness and the greasers aui tackle a question that is right at home, that of hogs, and the hog indus try. That this is becoming an im portant industry in this part of the country, is apparent to all. On every hand we hear farmers and business men saying there is money in hogs, ’ ard they are turning their attention to the industry in such away as that much blds fair to be accomplished. Business men in the various de partments of the business life are encouraging the farmer to engage in hog and cattle raising. Business as sociations and agricultural institutions are doing what they can along the same lines. Prominent among these business men are the bankers. These 1 hard headed masters of finance in manv states are coming to the aid and en couragement of hog and cattle raising | by their support of the pig clubs that 1 are springing up all over the country. In this way they are recognizing what' the pig club work and movement means in the improving of rural life ' and rural conditions, Not a few of the bankers have made it possible ofr members of the club to secure purz ■bred pigs on their personal notes. In ‘this way well bred stock pigs are obtained, and the member of the club is given the opportunity of paying for same out of the proceeds of the pig from the sale of meat or from the in crease from the pig, in the case of its being a brood animal. When the club member is a minor the agreement is J entered into through the consent of the parent or guardian, hence the j stigma of charity in removed, which is oftentimes so considered when the pig is given outright. * The above course is also a means of teaching practical business methods' to the young people of the rural pre- ■ cincts. It is also a character building process for it is but natural for a boy when treated like a man to act in a manly way. Byway of encouraging business men J and bankers to continue this course '.let us say that this apparent generos j ity on the part of the bankers is tn ' many cases the shrewedest business acument. We have read of a case in v.hich a Texas banker pursued this I . plan. He placed 326 pigs among the • pig club members of his county. As a result of the acquaintance made in se curing and placing these pigs, many. new patrons were secured. These j patron brought in over $75,000 in in-1 dividual deposits. Needless to say, ■ this was a profitable business for the bank, but it is also a means that will increase with time in its beneficial in fluence. One of the Texas papers states that the banker “has laid the' foundation for a prosperity which will be lasting. The boys that he has help ed to get started in the hog business are now on their feet financially, anl before many years they will be mak ing big shipments of hogs to market each year. The money received from the sale of hogs will be expended in further developing the country. Ever? merchant in the county will profit, the banks will get more deposits, and the farmers will have more money with which to further develop their farms." The Times-Recorder would recom mend the adoption of Texas bankers course to the bankers of this section. GET THE TURNSTILE HABIT. A splendid rule of life is to do one thing at a time, and do that thing well. Let the duty in hand have the right of way over all others, and when, this lis finished then on to the next, and iso on through the various duties of ’ life. When you see a man rushed, wor ried and flurried, it is a sure sign he hag not learned the way of first du’y first to be done. We all know what the old fashioned t. rnstile is or was. This is the kind of method we want to adopt with life's duties, the turnstile method. Like the g.’.teman in charge of the turnstile one duty at a time. There may be one thousand people coming, but the gate man takes care of one at a time, and at tnat instant the oher 999 are nothing to him. Thus it should be with the duties of life. Do the first one first ai.d then on to the other in their order or as they come u<p. A cigar dealer advertises it is better to smoke here than hereafter. It is best perhaps to leave it off entirely. On The Level By C. W. On the street corners can be heard varied criticisms and words of approv al for President Wilson’s move in calling the National Guards and pro ducing a crisis in Mexican affairs. It gets to be humorous sometimes, and on some occasions a real day-in-and day-out fellow might shut his eyes and imagine he was trespassing on the campus of the asylum at Milledge ! ville. There are more loose nuts standing around on the street corners discuss- ■ ing and disparaging important ques tions than you find at anything else. It has not been announced what func tion they were sent in the world to fulfill, but the best use made for a community’s sake would be on the front line of a swarm of Mexicans killing each other. Why, Thomas! ! “Why is it that the telephone oper ators are all women?” Mrs. Thomas asked her husband, according to the New Y’ork Times. “Well,” answered Mr. Thomas, ‘‘the managers of the telephone exchanges are aware that no class of people work so faithfully as those who are in love with their job; and they know ' that women love their work at the I switchboard.” “What is the work of a telephone THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.

Americus should be proud she has n military company. It is an invaluable asset in any community. But to think, the company has no flag. Several women's clubs might find such a gift acceptable and it would occupy a little time—which is being occupied with other folk’s business. ( REECE HAS ANOTHER FRENCH NEWSPAPER NOW ATHENS, June 22.—A third daily newspaper in French has been launch ed in Athens, devoting itself largely t > the Serbian interests. It is called The Flag and afupears in the evening, in competition with Baron Schenck's German propaganda newspaper, also in French, The Athens Gazette. The French morning paper is regarded as one of the best in Greece—the Athens Messenger. It is edited by a woman, Miss Jeanne A. Z. Stephanopolis, daughter of A. Zannettaki-Stephanop olis, who founded the paper in 1875. HIIOIIICEIIIEITS ~~| FOB CONGRESS.
