'THE Times-Recorder has recently
* entered into mutual arrange
ments with other daily newspapers
of South Georgia whereby it is en
abled to print daily a greater vol
ume and greater variety* of fresh
news of this section than ever be
fore. This arrangement has been
made possible through the South
Georgia Dailies association, which or
ganiaticn came into being in the of
fice of the Times-Recorder a little
over a year ago, and which has been
of inestimable value to all its mem
bers ever since.
At th(> last meeting of the asso
ciation the fqlnic of bettering the
news service of the various members
brought out the desire for more and
better news of our own section, and
the result of the discussion was the
entering into an agreement for the
exchange of daily news letters and
telegrams among the members. This
service has been functioning for more
than a week, with new members
coming in every day or two. Now
the Times-Recorder is receiving
daily news budgets from Cordele,
Moultrie, Tifton, Valdost and Thom
asville and expects to be receiving
others very shortly, until all of South
Georgia is being covered daily in
brief but complete form. ;;nd all
South Georgia in turn is getting the
gis tof the ne\v<( every day from
Americus.
r PHIS co-operative sectional new
* service is a minature Associat
ed Press. It performs the same serv
ice in its own way that the greatei
organization does in its, fashion. Tli
Associated Press, the greater,t and
most reliable news gathering agency
in existence, is an organization own
ed and controlled by its members
who are the newspapers it servrs.
No paper not a member can ob’.ait
the Associated Press service, and
memberships are limited only by con
ditions governing each individual
publication. It is maintained olep
to obtain and transmit the news, re
gardless, and not to promote inter
ests or spred propaganda.
That characterizes the miniatur
South Georgia Associated Pres
which has been launched purely so
the exchange of South Georgia new
PERHAPS the readers of th
Times-Recorder are not partie
ularly interested in the details o
this news service, hut we believe the;
appreciate having the service. It i
certain that. South Georgia condition
and eyehts, even the smaller, are of
intimate interest to Times-Recorder
readers second only to pure local
news. This is because conditions
and; interests throughout all South
Georgia are so nearly identical, that
Sumter county people, in reading of
events or conditions in surrounding
towns and counties, are constantly
mirroring themselves and comparing
themselves and their conditions. Pea
nut, cotton, hog, cattle, cane, corn
weevil, and any other of Scores of
news topics from elsewhere in this
section arg of almost local news
value, because they touf-h us all.
Now and then we get new ideas from
what is being elsewhere in our own
line of endeavor or industry, and
now and then we smile to observe
that we are doing something better
than those elsewhere have yet dis
co vered.
The Times-Recorder believes this
new South Georgia news service will
prove of inestimable value as well as
interest to all South Georgia. And
we believe it will be thoroughly ap
preciated by our own readers.

JOHN AMES’ REASON RETURNS. !

the body of Philip Ames lay in the j

was alone now. And as 1 looked at ; (
him I wondered if there could be | :
uch a thing as loneliness for him—-jt
if he missed, now, the laughter of *
those so-called friends. j |
As 1 reached the head of the stairs, ,
Lila met me.
“1 had been waiting for you,” she
aid. “How did Kate—his wife— ,
lake it?”
“She didn’t cry,” I said, rather
'oolis’ily.
“That is like her, site wouldn't,”
J ila said.
“How is Mr, Am ;s?” I ted. “And
ve then been any calls lor me.”;
Fcr, in spi e of the thousand and

mind, the thought of Tom and the

fingering somewhere in the back of J
iy consciousness. i
“There Weren’t any calls and
here isn’t an;, thine; new to say about
John, lie stays just the same.”
1 was glad to be alone in my
room. And for a long time I sat by
the window looking out on the gar
den below and trying, to think things
out.
Very likely, 1 thought, wit Lila
Ames’ change of her mode of living,
she would find a secretary an entire
ly necessary thing. 1 should have
to find something else to do. 1 was
1 wondering vaguely about this when
my attention was attracted by move

; I looked, trying to separate the :
• darkness from the outlines of what
i seemed to be human figures. Grad
i ually the figures came out more
1 plainly and 1 recognized, the lines
■ of Grace Cameron’s suit. There was
f a man with her—Tom!
I turned from the window, know
ing better than ever what a lonely
t stretch lay ahead of me.
1 I was up early the next morning.

FIRST AID WHEN ,
BABY HAS CROUP

Your baby may wake tonight
1 clicking, strangling, gasping in the

i will you do? Send for the doctor?
i Certainly. But that insidious, malig

one in its grasp will not wait un

you. While you are waiting for the
doctor your little one may -Jowly

Immediate action is imperative.
Rush to the medicine chest and gel

torant. The first dose you adminis
ter will quiet the baby. Repeat the
y dose after a short time, if neces
i- -ary. At the same time, heat a set
tle of boiling water and place it so
the steam will reach the crib.
Dr. Cheney's Expectoran* should
. always be used when any of the
family suffer from any affections
of the throat—colds, coughs, whoop
ing rough, asthma, bronchitis, etc.

In a minute 1 knew who had beer
around before. John Ames, a daz
ed look on his face, entered the dusky
ltitle room.
“Good rriorningg,” I said to him
softly. I was standing near the
coffin of his brother.
Should I send him out, should 1
contrive to get him away before ht
saw? J started toward him. But
too late! ■ ,
John .Ames made a quick movement.
He had ‘.he silent face between both
of his hands.
“Phil!” 1 heard him cry. “Phil.”
He seemed to be staggering. 1
caught him just as he seemed about
to fall. John Ames looked at me a
second and then called me by name.
His reason had returned.
