Newsy Notes of Interest For
The District A. & M. College
BY NORMAN ENGLISH.
Personal Items,
We were very glad indeed to have
Mr. Lionel Williams, of Atlanta, with
ut a few days this week. Lionel at
tended this school several terms, and
made many friends while here.
Miss Macy Grey's essay on, “Jeffer
son Davis and Abraham Lincoln. Their
Services to the United States Govern
ment, and the Principles for Which
They Stood in 1861.” was selected out
of all turned in from Americus
schools by the U. D. C. We congrat
ulate Miss Grey and this school.
A certain gentleman, who seems to
be very poorly informed on military
tactics, exclaimed, as he watched us
drill: "That is ragged, boys. I
don't hear but one gun hit the ground
when you halt." He learned a little
about the tactics before he made any
more remarks.
It seemed a little like old times
when Claude Calloway, better known
as Buck, came to see us Thursday.
Buck is just back from the border and
we were mighty glad to see him once
more.
After a grand performance In
Prof. H. J. Prance's class room. Rus
sell Bridges was made official acrobat
of the senior class.
Mr. James Moran has returned from
home.
Literary Societies.
The girls’ literary society had quite
an unique program Saturday night.
The meeting represented a district
school, at which the students were
preparing to give the trustees a re
ception. It was quite amusing
throughout the entire session.
The boys also bad a very good pro
gram.

The Rural School Term.
The Hon. M. L. Brittain declares:
“The state, county, or community,
as a rule, has a good educational
training as it at heart desires." This
being true, the following extracts
from the program of the Southern
Conference for Education at New
Orleans, is worth consideration:
Hon. J. Y. Joyner, of North Caro
lina, subject, “What is the Meaning
of This?” North Dakota spends $9.62
per capita for the support of common
schools; Minnesota, $8.33; Oregon,
$7.60; Nebraska, $8.10; Kentucky,
$2.87; Tennessee, $2.60; Georgia.
$1.98; Alabama, $1.97.
All good things cost. People who
want a good school must be willing to
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
pay the price—the better the school
and the longer the term, the greater
the cost. The plea of Henry A. Wise
for taxation and education, delivered
in 1856 on the occasion of his re
tirement from Congress as represen
tative of the Accomac district of Vir
ginia, to accept the position of Min
ister to Brazil, Is as appropriate now
as it was then, when he said: “Tax
yourselves.”
First.—To pay your public state
debt
Second- —To educate your children —■
every child of them, at common prim
ary free schools at state charge.
That is my legacy of advice to you
before I leave my country’s shores to
return, perhaps, no more forever.
Distrust all attempts to disturb the
operation of a tax bill already passed.
Disbelieve any set of men who come
before you with false promises of
freedom from taxation. Listen only
to those sincere friends who will
honestly tell you that you must be
taxed, how much you ought to be tax
ed, and who will counsel freely and
fully with you beforehand as to the
mode and subject of taxation. In a
word, learn to love taxation as the
only means of accomplishing such
objects as those of paying the public
debt and of educating your children,'
rich and poor. See to it well that noj
revenue raised for legitimate purposes (
ir wasted; see that it is all faithfully i
applied to the true ends of govern
ment, but be sure to raise enough and
amply enough, for every kind of state
necessity, usefulness and honor. There
is no easy mode of taxation, no royal
road to paying debts or to education.
Industry, honesty, economy and educa
tion alone can make you a free and
happy people.
Educate your children, all your
children—every one of them!

TO INVESTIGATE EASTERN
FIELDS FOR INVESTMENT
Russian and far eastern fields for
American investments are to be in-j
vestigated at once by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, of the
Department of Commerce. A. W. Fer
rin, president of the Moody Magazine
and Book Company and editor of Moo
dy’s Magazine, has been appointed
trade commissioner to make the inves
tigation and will sail from San Fran
cisco on April 30. In the meantime he
will visit some of the principal busi
ness centers in this country and con
cult with persons especially interested
in the investigation.
Mr. Ferrin will include in his trip
Japan, Russia, China, the Philippines,
the Dutch, British and French East In
dies, the Strftits Settlement, Australia
New Zealand, Ceylon, India and East
and South Africa. He will study in
vestment opportunities in these coun
tries and will report on financial con
dition, banking, railroad and public
utility, and other forms of finance,
with particular reference to the ex
tension of American foreign trade.

POSTMASTERS ARE ALL
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
WASHINGTON, March 31.—This Is
the last day the postmastership of
any city, town or village in the
United States will be in politics. Be
ginning tomorrow all postmasters will
be appointed under civil service rules,
regardless of political beliefs. The
examinations will be competitive. Sen
ator Poindexter of Washington de
clared that President Wilson’s action
in taking the postmasterships out of
politics will not only improve the
service but will save the country
millions of dollars a year. It also
takes the postoffice patronage from
Senators and Congressmen. They are
raid to be glad to get rid of it, on
the theory that it was more trouble
than it was worth.
GEORGIA PLAYING SECOND <
FIDDLE” IN VIOLIN CONTEST'
i
Georgia is now playing second fiddle'
to both North and South Carolina in '
the interesting controversy over old
violins.
While the oldest violins known in
Georgia are only about 150 years old,'
A. F. Edwards, of Darlington, S. C, l
has a violin which was made by Gas
pard Prugger in 1517. making it exact
ly 400 years old. The violin has Prug
ger’s signature and the date in it, and
is of unquestioned authenticity. It
was in the McCullough family for cen
turies before it came into Edwards’
hands.
This beats even the 303 year old vio
lin of W. H. Allman, of Asheville, N.
C., which was supposed to have been
the oldest in the South.
HOKE SMITH TO ADDRESS
GEORGIA EDUCATORS AT MACON
One of the principal addresses at
the coming meeting of the Georgia Ed
ucational association in Macon, on May
3,4, 5, will be on die important sub
ject of federal aid to education.
This address will be delivered by
United States Senator Hoke Smith,
who is one of the joint authors of the.
bill, recently made a law, which ap- j
propriates a large sum from the na
tional treasury for the purpose of en
couraging and assisting the teaching
of agriculture and training in domes
tic economy and other vocational stu
dies.
The new law marks a decided de
parture in the policy of the national
government toward education in that
for the first time it seeks to render di
rect aid to the schools of the several
states in the teaching of these par
ticular subjects. The appropriation
will mean much to the schools of Geor
gia, and especially to the rural schools.
The address ought to be heard by ev-I
ery progressive teacher in a rural
school.
MASS IN MEMORY OF ALL
NATIONS AT WAR TO BE
SUNG BY MONSTER CHOIR
NEW YORK, March 31.—A requiem
in memory of the dead of all nations
at war will be sung by a chorus of
350 voices, accompanied by an orches
tra of 150 pieces at the Hippodrome
here Sunday night.
The choir was organized by John
Watkins at Scranton, Pa., will be led
by Edgar Varese, a composer invalid
ed out of the French army and will be
sponsored by Cardinal Gibbons and
Bishop Greer.
The requirem is the high mass for
the dead. It Is one of the most pro
found compositions of its kind.
Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking a
glass of hot water before
breakfast.
We’re not here long, so let’s make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well and look well, what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a tablespoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous day’s indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary’ canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
othered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly complexions are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from tiie drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
lar yone a pronounced crank on the
subject of inside-ba’hing before break
' fast. advt.
The Wagon You Can’t Overload
In this day and time with graded roads throughout the
country, it is not a question of how much can my mules
pull, but “How Much Will My Wagon Carry?” We have
used four of these famous wagons in our business for the
last eleven years without even having to shrink a tire.
Call and see our complete stock of the numerous mod
els and different width tires.
