ONLY APPROPRIATE
WILLSAVE ASYLUM
ATLANTA, Ga.. July 15. —The board
cf trustees of the Georgia state sani
tarium for the insane will be compell
ed to close the dors of the institution
against additional patients unless the
legislature provides an appropriation
for new buildings which are needed
tc house the /patients already in the
sanitarium, according to John T.
Brantley, president of the trustees, in
an interview given out in Atlanta to
day.
President Brantley, who is the
head of a large manufacturing con
cern at Blackshear, Ga., and one of
the leading business men of the state,
has been a member of the board of
trustees for many years, and is
thoroughly conversant with the needs
of the sanitarium.
“The time is not far distant,’’ de
clared Mr. Brantley, “when the state
of Georgia will be compelled to es
tablish a second sanitarium at some
other point, because one institution
will not be able to take care of the
rapidly growing number of patients
sent to it for care and treatment.
“A bill is now pending in the legis
lature to appropriate $300,000 for
the erection and equipment of two
buildings at the sanitarium.
“The present buildings have a ca
pacity for 3,315 patients but are
crowded with 4,200. Conditions in
the building for negro male and fe
male patients is especially bad, and
undoubtedly responsible for the high
death rate among them. This is an
ugly fact which must be foced.
“Likewise the building for white fe
male patients is dangerously over
crowded.
“If the needed buildings are not'
supplied, I know of nothing the board
can do but close the doors of the san
itarium to further admissions except,
a vacancies occur by death and dis- ■
charge.”
IHE OPERA HOUSF
Another big picture coming to the ;
Opera House, Wednesday, July 19th.;
Every now and then a picture is put
out that stands out prominently from
the rest, so it is with “Damaged
Goods,” a vital drama of moral up
lift in seven awe-inspiring parts.
“Damaged Goods” pictures the ter
rible consequences of vice and phys
ical ruin that follows abuse of the
moral law. it is a stirring plea for a
pure life before marriage in order to
make impossible the transmission of
hereditary taints to future genera
tions. All the medical profession and
ministers of the gospel who witness
ed the showing of “Damaged Goods”
recommends it very highly and urgs
every one to see it.
There will be two performances of
this great picture Wednesday, July
19th, one matinee at 4 o’clock, and
I
one night performance at 8:30 o’clock.
You can reserve your seats for the
night performance at Hooks’ Phar
macy.

“Buy in Americus.”
That’s a slogan which has been
preached day in and day out by The
Times-Recorder, and almost every
ether paper. It has much merit and
means everything to the life of a com
munity.
A large body of Americus merchants
have joined the campaign of the
Times-Recorder to “Buy in Americus.”
They are devoting their time and
money to the gospel which the Times-
Recorder is preaching. They believe
in their own city, else they would no:
be here.
Many people go away to buy things
which they could get in Americus.
They pay just as much, or more, when
they buy away from home. There’s a
satisfaction in knowing that you live
in the same place you earn your liv
ing.
We commend the public’s attention
to an advertisement in today’s Times-
Recorder—the first of a series cf
twenty-six—which will appear each
Sunday in the Times-Recorder.

: TU EQUALIZATION BILL
I TO BE OK DECK MONDAY
k -
ATLANTA, Ga., July 15.—The bill
to repeal the tax equalization law
i will come before the house of repre
. sentatives again next Monday as a
■ result of the renewal of the fight by
. its advocates in the house yesterday.
: The tax equalization act, which was
one of the administration measures
Governor John M. Slaton, ahs com
pelled the return for taxation of
thousands of acres of land on which
: the owners had never paid any taxes
be lore, and has assessed other thous
ands of acres at their market value,
MEMBER AMERICUS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
SUNDAY, JULY 16,
! where previously they had been ‘'l9-
turned” by their owners at merely
nominal value.
> For the state to return to the old
' laws, according to opponents of the
■ repeal, will result in a deficit in the
1 state treasury which nothing can
overcome but a bond issue. Already
the treasury is barely able to pay the
■ appropriations made by the leginla
i ture, .notwithctanding the large in
crease in .ax values resulting from
the enforcement of the equalization
law.
Should the law be repealed, values
are certain to shrink, and the stat«£
will then be compelled to raise the*
tax rate to the maximum limit anllow
ed by the Constitution, with the
prospect of still being short of funds
with which to pay appropriations.
