J. P. Chapman.
. For. a week they have been in

Mrs. C.~ K. Chapman , on Felder

amutdug . and interesting experienc

section,
In commenting on the relative ad
jutages of the two states, they claim
that Florida has nothing on this sec

(Urich they rode in their automobii
fpr several days.
, “Your climate is marvelous," said
Mr. Newton, in expressing his delight
,rs the fair skies, the balmy a’ me -
phere and the profusion of blossom
ing flowers. “It is htrd for us, who
Ijfe in the far North, and among de
layed springs and short summers, to
understand why more people here do
itbt live out doors. When w w nt to
Elcrida in the early fall, we de ided
to live in hotels or rooms, and to o.n
. surprise and disgust, we walked • ii>c
afid miles each day seeking a pla
<4 shelter. Without result. In d-■■■
pferation, we finally decided io havi
our cars made into ‘homes,’ and by
up few changes in the tops, we soon
had an ‘apartment’ which suited ev
ery purpose and cost practically
nothing.”
.“We have our ‘bedroom;’ patent
efl, ’ said Mrs. Newton :'id Mt
EVsley, in telling of their house
keeping experience in transit. Hav
ing had the’ seats of the car con
verted into Pullman seats, at night
they were quickly changed into ih<
tsiost comfortable seelpiing quarter
The care wer placed at arm’s length
apart, over which was spread a large •
tent, affording protection from tin
elements. It was great. Fine life.
« "When we reached Americus, we
were even more nicely fixed," said
Ihey", “for here we had a con rite
Imchen floor to cook on. Mr.-. Chap
man gave us permission to u • tv
wftlk of concrete leading to a him .e
which was recently burned, and on
this floor our oil stoves were pin ed,
arid delicious meals were prepared.
We had everything the market a/-

our shelter, and on the clean floor,
W - had the jolliest time of our lives.

We do not do that in the North, and

Sumter county I know hundred of

ARMY IN GERMANY.
PRESIDENT HARDING has order
ed Secretary of War Wick- to
bring home the soldier? we have
kept on th Rhine rivt r in Germany
since the end of the World War.
These soldi, is are called- "the
American Army «f Occupation.”
It. has always been Hie custom of
victors in wars to send armies to
ir.mp on th: land of the defeated
country to see to "it that the defeat
ed country lived up to its agree
ments. . , , •• .

Coblenz Im a population of about
iC.UOO. That's six times more peo
pie than Americus has.
There are about 4000 soldiers in
the American Army of Occupation.
All will be brought home before July
1, Secretary of War Weeks believes.
V hy at e we bringing our soldiers
home? Probably to save money.
Our government expected the Al
lies to pay the expenses from money
collected ‘from Germany, but the Al
lied commission in charge of seeing
that Germany pays its debt to the
Allies does not seem willing.

the coal strike.
IT NOW seems probable that the
greatest coal strike in the history
of our country will begin April I.’
The United Mine Workers of
America, a miners’ union, has ord
er'd 600,000 miners in all parts of
this country and part of Canada to
cease work. These miners are em
ployed both in hard and soft coal
fields.
That means that all coal mining
will ti p except .in fields where
niim i do not belong to the union.
'rhe strike, if long enough contin- I
tied, may result in shutting down i
hundreds yf factories and throwing
thousand of men out of work, for
factories must have coal to operate.
The miners are striking because
they’re not satisfied with their pay.
i'hcy make an agreement on pay
from time to tiniy and that, 'wage
stands until the next meeting. This I
agreement with the employers runs
out March 31.
the union miners say:
'Our pay is low while the co: I of
living in minig towns is high. Our
bo. se- ninilc big profits during the
\\;ir and they can afford to pay us
Wed now.
"In 1'320 our pay was only SISOO a i
<'ar. V. . need $?:'!:> a year to live |
<<i■ ! i.t! ; .ty in a mining town.”
i a- operator::, 1.1 men who run
ihe mines, ay:
AV i can't afford to pay more and
'.i 1| probably have to pay less.
'Our competitors in coal fields
.-.heie men don’t belong to the union
nr,- paying lower wages and selling
c< al cheaper than we can. -That’s
rtftning our business.”

JHE GERMAN INDEMNITY.
’T HE Allied Reparations Commis
* sion is meeting at Paris. It has
deieded how much Germany must pay
I his year on the indemnity the Alfies
have demanded.
It the amount is excessive, as
some believe it may be, the German
cabinet may resign as a protest.
An indemnity is a sum of money
paid to repair damage. German’s
indemnity is to pay for the damage
Germany didyhen she attacked Bel
gium, France and other of her
neighbors in the World War and de
stroyed their farm lands, homes and
factories.
The Reparations Commission is a
riody of men representing the Allied
countries. Its task is to arrange the
amount and method of payment of
Germany s indemnities.

LETTERS FROM!
THE PEOPLE j
Macon, Georgia, April 4, 1922.
Editor, Times-Recorder. Upon
seeing in a recent issue of your pa
per a very severe arraignment of
the meat markets in Americus as a
whole, I called upon our Americus
manager for a report and an explan
ation. He sent me a copy of your
local-inspector’s report, which while
far from being up to the standard
we are endeavoring to establish in
ycur city, still showed that our mar
ket was not guilty of any of the
things referred to in your story.
We ale very strict about the clean
liness *aml service in oar markets,
and the quality of goods they sell.
In Macon the local inspectors haVc*
voluntarily informed us that the ten
Nash markets in this city are most
sanitary and the best kept place.,
under their jurisdiction. The home
office has just taken over the active
management of the market in Ameri
cus and is rapidly bringing it up to
the standard of the other Nash mar
kets the first steps being better
fighting and more efficient screen
ing which have iust been attended
to. I have been planning a personal
vi it to Americus to look after fur
ther improvements in person, this
will probably be made some time
next week—just as soon as 1 can
get away from Macon.
In fact we are working out our
plans right now for a complete re
organization of our Americus mar
ket which will be followed by an
aggressive publicity campaign simi
lar to that used locally, so you can
readily see why we are interested in
the Americus situation particularly
at this time.
1 feel sure that your story was
only a laudable efofrt to correct a
lamentable condition which demand
ed the attention of a conscientious
newspaper, but unintentionally the
generalities and insufficient informa
tion of a hurried newspaper man
harmed us-—it not only was injurious
to our business, but was a severe
blow to our own pride and most all
to the spirit of our organization
which we are carefully building up.
Knowing the spirit of fair play that
prevails in newspaper offices, I am
going to make a request of you; send
one of your men around to call on
Mr. Easom, let him show you our
place and point out just what has
already been done and is being done
then if you find you were wrong,
I know I can relp upon you t.Q cor
rect any false impressions derived
from your story.
Understand that 1 am not asking
you to print my side of the story
at all, just the result of an investi
gation by one of your own staff.
1 know' that your story was fully
warranted from reports I have re
ceived on the Americus situation,
and 1 admire your stand in trying
to correct such conditions as have
existed in your city up to this time.
I also know how easy it is for a
busy newspaper man to miss valu
able facts and run a story on incom
plete information which 1 think
was done in this ease. And I know
that in writing a story as general
as yours was you simply did not
think of the harm it would do the
fellow who was honestly trying to
do the right thing. Don’t you think
that in view of the vbry conditions
you criticise that fellow is entitled
tv special recognition.
I feel sure that 1 can rely upon
