Americus is glad to have the Rebek

The boys at the fair in Atlanta had
their tents washed away in a rain
storm, and the folks took them into
their homes.
Wilson wore the skin off shaking
hands, and they've worn the skin off

him to "move on.’’
Greece requests the United States

Don’t make any difference if the

The students of a north Georgia dis

We didn’t get a chance to see Ed

William Thaw, Norman Prince and

A map of Georgia showing the pro

Editor Ernest Camp, of the Monroe

just as sweet and coquettish as i
spring maiden.
TO THE BORDER,
j The chiefs in command of the
1 movement of the Georgia troops did
’ not allow Americus to get sight of
her boys en route to Fort Bliss, El
1 Paso, Texas. They were routed via
t
Fort Valley, Columbus and Montgom
ery. Anway, our hearts are with them
—although they go on a peaceful mis
sion which will have the tinge of
real military life.
The troops which have been sent to
the border have profited by their ex
perience. They are that much more
capable in the race of life.
President Wilson a few days ago, in
a letter to Governor Whitman, of New
York, said the exigency which de
manded troops on the border still ex
isted, much to his regret. A good
soldier and a good American, though
he be a private citizen, has no right to
question that statement. The danger
still lives —and Georgia boys are do
ing to their share.
WHOSE OX IS GORED.
Recent events in the European war
open the way for a great deal of clear
• thinking by people who desire to be
fair?
German over-ran Belgium and
overpowered Luxemberg and her neu
trality. This is undenied and a mere
"scrap of paper” was thrown to the
winds. The Entente Allies paraded
this before the world—and the world
was shocked.
Now, comes these same Entente Al
lies, gored by a desperate desire to
cinch victory in the great struggle—
confiscating, yea, stealing the Greek
fleet; the Greek system of police pro
tection; the Greek ports—takes all
Greece, except for those spots where
Bulgarian hoofs have been planted
and Germanic militarism has imbed
ded her forced stay.
It all goes on to show the limits
which nations and people in control
who govern these countries, will go to
gain their point. It reminds one of a
statement attributed to a prominent
Georgian who is now high in her of
ficial life —that he would walk over
the dead body of any friend to gain a
point.
But, is that right?
Is the world watching each side
now—and then see them reap?
“THE NEGRO UNDER WILSON”
i
Under this title the Republican ’
Campaign Text Book carries a long (
diatribe by Henry Lincoln Johnson, a (
Georgia negro, who is a former Re- I
corder of Deeds. It is approved by 1
the Republicans, we suppose, or >t
would not have a part in their cam-
i
paign literature. (
In short, it is a cry from Johnson, a '
shoo-flied office-holder, and a would
-1 be lambasting of the Democratic ad
ministration tor their segregation of
races in the governmental offices at
Washington. Democracy only did in
Washington what people do all over
the country—in their actual life of
existence.
Sometime ago, St. Louis, a great
progressive city of the middle West,
i
had an election on the segregation of
1.
| races—and it was decided to separate
s .
them.
But, this Johnson is feeding a cer
tain element of Republicans with this
r plea, and infusing his doctrine into
the colored voters. We suppose this
t is part of Roscoe Pickett’s doctrine—
and maybe some of the white people
in this section who are currently re
j ported to attach great love and im
portance for their inclination towards
r Republicanism.
3 At a later date, the Times-Recorder
3 hopes to give space and further com
ment to the article of Johnson in the
text book.

REV. BROOKS LAWRENCE.
Georgia’s new official liquor fighter
comes to the Empire State with a rep
utation for strength, success and vir
ility. He bears the fulsome recom
mendation of Fuzzy Woodruff, a vers
atile newspaper writer, and his acts
and success in Alabama bear witness
to the strength of his campaigns.
Americus will have the pleasure of
hearing Mr. Lawrence for the first
time next Sunday. He is the new sup
erintendent of the Anti-Saloon league,
the organization which is directly re
sponsible for the new prohibition law.
Rev. Lawrence comes with the scalps
of the outlaws, and he may have
something interesting to say about
Americus. It will be worth the time
to hear him, both morning and even
ing.
“NIGHT BY NIGHT.”
We assume no responsibility’ for
printing the following comment from
the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, desiring
to keep the friendship of Woodall, and|
this little paragraph has a whole lot
to say:
i
The Americus Times-Recorder says, (
as reproduced elsewhere this morning,
that "The Column ‘Day by Day,’ ed
ited by W. C. Woodall, in the Colum
bus Enquirer-Sun each day, is very ‘
interesting and entertaining.” Quite
so. We cordially endorse what our
Americus neighbor says about it. But J
—and w’e do not believe we violate {
any confidence imposed in us when ;
we say it—the Times-Recorder would
find a “Night by Night” column edited
by Clyde far more interesting and en- g
tertaining than anything he has so '
far written “Dav by Day.”
o
Judge Lambdin, in the federal court 1
n
at Macon, uttered a plain and un

too much time. It’s a partial explau- j b

b
though the constitution guarantees a
speedy trial. c ,
LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR Mil' HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use Grand
mother’s Recipe of Sage and Sul
phur and Nobody Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth
er's time. She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture v as applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
"Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be
depended upon to restore natural col
or and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. advt.

BREWERS TRY TO
BRIBE COLLEGES
(From Manufacturer’s Record.)
In an address at the meeting of the
National Chemical Association held in
s New York last w’eek, delivered before
3 the Food Chemistry Division, Carl A.
Newark, secretary of the Master |
( Brewers’ Association, made a plea for
the universities of the country to co
t operate with the brewers in eradicat-
- ing the opposition to the brewery in
terests, and promising in return
therefor assistance in a financial way
to the universities. In the course cf
his address, as published in the New
3 York Journal of Commerce, he said:
- “The ‘inborn hatred' for our indus-
t try is a common thing with a certain
, type of the public, and not infrequent
ly a sign of ignorance or lack of edu
cation. With the help of the univers
ities we will be able not only to im
prove our beverage, but at the same
time to enlighten the public as to the
true nature of our product. I
"We require the help and assist
ance of the universities. We believe
that inasmuch as our industry is a le
gitimate industry, operated in strict
, accordance with scientific principles,
controlled by men with technical and
scientific education, we are entitled to
the same support that has so gener
ously been bestowed upon some of
our great American industries.
"We are willing to assist in a n
at'cial way to reimburse the institu
tion for whatever expense it may in
cur on that acocunt, either by schol
arship, felowship, or, if need be, by
the endowment of a chair in fermen
tation chemistry. We do not wish to
make any restriction as to the work
that should be done, neither do we
wish in influence in any way the re
sults of this work. All we want is
help and support in the solution of
our technical difficulties, with the ul
timate aim to have the public recog
nize our product at its true worth.”
This is the most direct effort to
bribe the universities of the country
by the promise of financial support
into favoring the brewery interests
and educating the public to favor the
brewery business that has ever been
put forth, so far as we know, in this
country. No one can for a moment
imagine that the universities of the
country will accept the bribe thus |
frankly/offered to them.
ENGLISH GOVERNMENT TO
CONTROL COAL INDUSTRY
LONDON, Oct. 20. —The government
is proposing to take over control of the
coal industry of Great Britain in the
near future, the main purpose of the
scheme of nationalization being to I
give a certain power of control over!
the neutral shipping which coals at
British ports. Coal owners will be
allowed to take their present profits if I
the scheme goes through, hut the Gov-'
ernment will control the distribution:
of coal for home consumption, for ex
port and for shipping. For some time
past the government has used its au
thority over British shipping to direct
its courses most beneficial for the na
tion, but neutral steam shipping,
though dependent on British for coal,
has not recognized a resulting obliga
tion to this country.
The plan is that if the government
owns the coal it will be in a position
to stipulate the use the customer shalll!
make if it and to require him to call
for his return cargo at specific ports.
In that way it is beieved the whole of
the shipping in British ports may be
organized and directed.
