PIRIBRIPHICAILI SPEAKING |
The average lady killer usually is
killed by one of the fair sex first and
last.
Hosiery is one article of women’s
wearing apparel most often placed on
display.
Sometimes a man will size up o wo
man by the quality of perfume she
uses.
Sometimes a man is called a stag
because he comes home staggering so
often at night.
A man’s fondness for blondes is
sometimes explained by the fact that
he married a brunette
Sometimes when, a woman is spoil
ing for a row with her husband she
legins by acting fresh.
Why is it that a woman who is a
kitten before marriage sometimes be
comes a cat afterwards?
If all women looked like the pic
tures in the fashion sheets, maybe
married men would stay home more.

“Live and let live’’ is a good enough
motto, but it is one we seldom see
displayed in front of an undertaker’s.
There are a few things in the world
that a woman can’t have, but there
are very few, indeed, that they don’t
want.
A newly married man is so big a
fool that he can hardly realize it un
til after a few months of wedded ex
istence.
There are said to be 26,000,000 wid
ows in India. Wouldn’t a young fel
low with lots of money be popular
there?
Many a man thinks the other fellow
is a hustler merely because he moves
along fast enough to keep up with the
crowd.
W’. E. Bewater was a caller at the
Times-Recorder office today. As his
name indicates, he is an ardent pro
hibitionist.
Many a man makes a living using
his pencil on paper, and many a wo
man makes her living using a pencil
on her eyelashes.
A woman generally begins to primp
up a little when she sees her hus
band standing on the corner talking
with some well dressed woman.
The Kaiser is being smashed on the
western front, and he’ll get another
good licking on September 11th when
Hardwick is beaten at the polls.

WHO’S WHO
A O SUMTER COUNTY!
THE LOGICAL PLAN.
The people who are supporting Mr.
’ Howard for the senate —and for the
most part they are the same kind of
I people who are supporting Mr. Har-
I ris—are citizens who want the defeat
of Mr. Hardwick as much as they
■ want the election of their particular
candidate.
Assuming this to be true, and there
can be no question of it, they should
be open to conviction —open to any
argument looking to the defeat of a
senator whose continuance in the Sen
ate would be a humiliation to Geor
gia
Any unbiased student of the facts
must admit that Mr. Howard is not
a leading candidate in the race. Re
ports from all parts of. the state show
conclusively that Mr. Howard is not
a formidable candidate in any sec
tion, except in his own congressional
district. Here and there, of course,
for local or peculiar reasons, a coun
ty is his, but as a general proposition
he does not command a lead.
In the Second and Third distircts
Mr. Howard will not carry a county.
In the Sixth not a county is claimed
for him. In the eleventh not a coun
ty is placed in his column. And so
It goes. Everywhere the fight is be
tween Harris and Hardwick —a
straight-out combat between Loyalty
and Disloyalty.
That being true, it would seem that
the Howard voters should be willing
to vote for the man most likely to
defeat Hardwick. Indeed, there should
be an open combination between sup
porters of all candidates to accom
plish this end. The idea is more es
pecially brought to mind by the ac
tion of a leading citizen at Milledge- i
ville, himself a Howard man, who
realizes that Howard cannot carry
Baldwin county and who Is appealing
to the Howard and Harris men to i
unite so as to defeat Hardwick in
that particular county. i
Unless this is done, there is a reas
onable assurance that in a number of
counties Hardwick will win, just be- ;
cause the loyal vote will be divided.
For that reason the Howard candi
dacy is a menace to the best interests .
of the state, and for that reason also
it is true that in many instances a
vote for Howard will be equivalent to ,
a vote for Hardwick.
Many a man who isborn with a
silver spoon in his mouth faile to
make a success in life because he
lacks a little stiffening in his back
bone. , *
A COMPLIMENT.
Senator Hardwick pays Americus
and Sumter county a most unique
compliment by singling this city and
county out for the distinction of mak
ing them a return visit.
He and his supporters evidently put
a great deal of stress and importance
on the vote of Sumter county, for it
is now announced that he is coming
back here—will close his campaign
here, in fact.
But The Times-Recorder can say to
. Senator Hardwick, and to his friends
and supporters, too —he is wasting his
time when he makes another speech
in Sumter county.
This county is loyal to the core,
1 its people are as patriotic as citizens
■ anywhere, and they are also above
the average in intelligence. These
facts make it absolutely impossible
for a majority of them to vote for
’ Senator Hardwiek, and make it cer
tain, indeed, that they will decisively
defeat him here at the polls on Sep
tember the eleventh.
r
However, he is welcome to come. It
will mean a few dollars for the hotel,
1 the Times-Recorder will probably
have Rs advertising revenue increas
) ed somewhat, and doubtless several
other dollars will be put in circula
, tion. But if he spoke here until he
was black in the face, if his supporters
scattered his propaganda here until
» they dropped from sheer weariness,
r Sumter county would still be a loyal
i county, and would vote a majority
ngainst the man who. more than any

swat the rat.
The campaign to kill the rat, which
started in Atlanta several months ago
has . lead to all parts of this state,
and an effort is being made to enlist
rhe active co-operation of every man,
woman and child in Georgia who is
interested in the food and health con
seivatlon. Both are vastly important,
especially at the present time.
According to statements made by
rat experts of the Biological Survey
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C., in Georgia alone are rata
and mice actually consume millions
of dollars worth of food annually;
they destroy by polutlon ten times
as much as they consume; they un
dermine buildings and sidewalks to
the tune of millions more; they cause
ten per cent of the fires of the coun
try; they destroy ten per cent of all
the grain produced; they do incal
culable injury to furniture and cloth
ing and they carry disease from house
to house, from city city .from coun
try to country on their filth, loath
some bodies, being responsible for
more deaths than have ever been
caused by all the wars of history.
the rat appeared in Europe simul
taneously with the Hun when that
brand of beastly humanity over-ran
civilization and demanded a seat in
the sun From then until now he has
gradually extended his dominion, en
trenching himself behind walls, and
in boroughs, thieving, preying, point
ing. doing the work of the Kaiser and
his cohorts; and while honest men
delve and dig. ‘ Mistah Rat’’ polutes
and destroys. Germany has no better
ally.
Twice have experts been sent to
the state to lecture various organiza
tions, clubs, chambers of commerce,
school, colleges, etc., with a view to
arouse the people to the great impor
tance of rat-riddance as a war meas
ure. As a people we are bending ev
ery energy, making every sacrifice to
feed the Allies and win the war, yet
we sit quietly by and let the rats of
the country destroy millions of dol
lars worth of food and property an
nually, to say nothing of the sickness
aryl death caused by the filthy poison
they transmit.
According to Prof. Lantz, of the Bi
ological Survey, who was recently in
this state in the interest of the “Kill
the Rat” campaign, the Weil fever,
which is is so prevalent among our
soldiers and from which they so slow
ly recover, is directly attributable to
the rat.
Mrs. Emma T. Martin, 1627 Candler
building, Atlanta, Ga, is chairman of
the state work, and will answer all
questions and send government litera
ture to all interested parties.
Mrs Martin was chairman of wo
mans work for Woodrow Wilson dur
ing the presidenttial campaign and
gives much of her time to patriotic
work, and none is of more importance
than food and health conservation.
The Atlanta Georgian proposes »
national “Hero Day.” Doubtless to
commemorate the man who tells his
own wife that her skirt is too short.
A y»L’i»lVfc VILIOKI.
In calling the men of 18 to 45 to
the colors, President Wilson says that
they will be needed and employed for
“a decisive victory at arms,”
This can only mean one thing—that
the United States is in the war to the
bitter end. It is a fight to the fin
ish —and the finish will be the end of
German autocracy.
The Manufacturers’ Record has for
a slogan “No peace without punish
ment." and that fits in well with Pres
ident Wilson’s stirring declaration in
behalf of “a decisive victory at arms.’’
In other words, we are out to lick
Germany to a frazzle, and will not
stop until the deed is done.
Many a long-headed woman is very
proud of the fact that she a short
foot.
other man, has so grievously misrep
resented Georgia in the United States
Senate.
