A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
Be not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good.—Romans 12:21.
The best antidote against all kinds
of evil, against the evil thoughts
which haunt the soul, against the
needless perplexities which distract
the conscience, is to keep hold of
the good we have.—A. I*. Stanley.
EDITORIAL
Clifford Walker has found little
sympathy in the Georgia press fol
lowing his announcement that he may
yet decided to run for governor this
year. Even those papers which sup
ported him two years ago are advis
ing him to stay out and give Georgia
a rest and her present officials a
chance to do something besides run
for re-election.
A woman has f»c<n appointed
treasurer of the city of Columbus
under the commission-manager form
of government. Columbus also has a
woman member of the city commis
sion. The time is at hand for Amdt
cus to stir about toward installing the
city manager plan this fall, when the
present administration’s term ex
pires. And it wouldn't be a bad idea
to -have at least one woman of good
business judgment on that commis
sion. We have them.
THE COAL STRIKE.
TPHE union coal miners of the Unit
ed States will go on strike to
morrow in what it is declared will be
the greatest walkout in history. They
intend to tie up two-thirds of the
coal producing properties of the
country in an effort to force the
operators to comply with their de
mands. The operators, on the other
hand, although bound by contract to
meet the employers for discussion of
a new wage agreement, have acted in
a very arbitrary manner and refused
to abide by this agreement. The
result has been a situation that at
the beginning of the strike appears
to forecast a bulldog struggle.
Who is right and who is wrong
does not so much matter at this time
as the fact that the public will be
the real sufferers and will have to
pay the cost of the labor war in the
end. Already the coal operators are
boosting the price of coal, although
supplies on hand are sufficient to last
two months at the present rate of
consumption, it is said. They see the
opportunity to gouge and are ready
to take advantage of it.
Maybe the miners 'are drawing
wages too high; it is likely their
pay will be generally considered out
of line with present conditions and
receding prices. But without dis
cussion nothing can be accomplished.
It would seem that the first step
to peace in the coal industry would
be a conference to talk things over.
That is the only right way to settle
differences of any kind.
the markets clean up.
l | j HE Times-Recorder is pleased to
report that the meat markets of
Americus, finally convinced that the
state inspector who dropped in here
unexpectedly yesterday after three
weeks, really meant business when
he told them to conform to sanitary
regulations he imposed or close up
shop, cheerfully went about it to
clean up and meet his requirements,
and that he found it unnecessary to
cause any of them trouble. As we
stated our belief yesterday, none of
them were wilful violators of sani
tary requirements and all got busy
when he told them what to do.
It is unlair to the market men,
as well as to the consumers of this
community, for the city not to have
a competent sanitary inspector to
keep check on the markets and all
places and individuals selling food
and this includes the farmers who
bring meat to town to sell. If the
city council will enact a proper sani
tary ordinance, with teeth in it to
make it effective and with provision
for a competent inspector, it will
have done a worth-while service to
the public. At the same time the
market men will have a local stan
dard by which to conduct their busi
ness.
It is human nature to become care
less when not required to be other
wise. And it is only natural that
our markets should have had a lapse
into carelessness inasmuch as the city
goveernment has not shown inter
est enough to set a standard of re-

“Have you all gone crazy?” demanded Nancy.
YES, it was the Squeedillums who
had carried off the record and
made a dance floor of it. For
tunately they used the wrong side,
so it wasn't hurt a bit.
“We just happened to see it here,”
said Mr. Jinks, “and so we carried
it off.”
“Are you fairies?” asked Nancy.
“Indeed yes,” answered Mr. Jinks
proudly. “You never saw humans
this size, did you?”
“No, we never did,” she answered
thoughtfully. “But I’ve seen all
sorts of bugs your size.”
Mr. Jinks was offended. “Well, you
can look in all the bug books and
animals books, too. But you won't
find Squeedillums. The Fairy Queen
has us in her fairy book, though.
We're one of her nine hundred and
ninety-nine kingdoms—small, to be
sure, but important.”
Then turning to some of the little
fairies behind him, he waved a hand.
“Come, boys, we’ll have to go
back to the ballroom and get the new
dance floor. This lady and gentle
man say it belongs to them.”
So the little folks all turned back
into the underground passage and in

The partial derailment of a Sea

WEAK; RUN-DOWN
Carolina Lady Got So She Could
Just Drag.—“Cardui Built Me
Up,” She Declares.
Kernersville, N. C.—ln an Interest
ing statement regarding Cardul, the
Woman's Tonic, Mrs. Wesley Mabe, ot
near here, recently said: “I have
known Cardul for years, but never
knew Its worth until a year or so ago.
I was in a weakened, run-down con
dition. I became draggy—didn’t eat or
sleep to do any good; couldn’t do any
thing without a great effort I tried
different remedies and medicines, yet
I continued to drag.
'T decided to give Cardul a trial,
and found it was just what I really
needed. It made me feel much strong
er soon after I began to use it I be
gan to eat more, and the nervous,
weak feeling began to leave, Boon I
was Bleeping good.
“Cardul built me up as M other
toaio evw did.
“I used Cardul with one daughter
who was puny, felt bad and Used out
all the time. It brought her right out,
and soon she was as well as a girl
could be. We think there is nothing
like Cardul.”
Do not allow yourself to become
weak and run-down from womanly
troubles. Take Cardul. You may find
it just what you really need. For
more than 40 years it has been used by
thousands and thousands, and found
just as Mrs. Mabe describes.

‘ a little while there was a scattering
of earth and grave! as they dug a
larger opening for the return of the
record.
“Oh, goody!” cried Nancy. “I’m
so much obliged to you, Mr. Jinks.
You’ve no idea how precious this
thing is!”
“H'm? What’s that?” asked Mr.
Jinks suddenly. “Who are you and
who am I, and what are you talking
about?”
The Twins thought he had sud
denly taken leave of his senses.
“Does he get this way very often?”
asked Nick of the others.
“What way?” asked a blue-satin
fairy. “And who are you? We never
saw you before. And what’s this
black thing doing here?”
“Have you all gone craay?” de
manded Nancy.
“Crazy? What’s crazy? We forget
everything,” they answered.
Suddenly Nancy spied a raveling
wrapped about them and she knew.
The Cloth of Dreams was still mak
ing trouble. The raveling had been
sticking to the record and the fairies
had touched it.
