A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
And He, hearing Hi. cro»», went
forth into a place called the place of
a skull, which i* called in the
Hebrew, Golotha: here they cru
cified Him, and two other, with Him,
cnc on either side of Him, and
Jesus in the midst.—John 19:18.
As Christ drew near to death, lie
trembled. It was an experience of
His creation, but He himself had
never felt it. To His humanity, His
flesh, it seemed terrible. Gethsem
ane bears witness how terrible it
seemed. But He passed it for love
of us.—Phillips Brooks. •
EDITORIAL
HELPING WHAT WE HAVE.
A BATHER novel idea in industrial
** development has been evolved
by the South Georgia Dailies asso
ciation an organization of the daily
newspapers south of Macon. Hereto
fore it has been the practice of news
papers as backers of Chambers of
Commerce and other civic organiza
tions and as boosters for local prog
ress to advocate generally the bring
ing in of any neW enterprises. The
spirit behind the practice has been
admirable; it has been unselfish and
patriotic. But it has been more or
less impractical and . hasn't gotten
very far. The result has been a real
ization that something was wrong
somewhere and that if our South
Georgia cities are to grow and thrive
through industries the acquisition of
such industries must be t: ckled from
a different angle. And the South
Georgia Dailies, in a composite sur
vey of the situation, have found what
they believe to be the real remedy
the peal and the only method by
which actual progress can be made.
LET US HELP MAKE THOSE
INDUSTRIES WHICH WE AL
READ HAVE PAY AND WE WILL
GET NEW INDUSTRIES, is the key
note of the new program.
It is sound—fundamentally sound
Abid so the South Georgia Dailies,
through their combined strength, are
going about first making pay those
industries which South Georgia al
r< atty has, rather than to dissipate
largely their efforts to bring in out
ride industries without being able to
show that those already existing here
alp profitable.
Simple, isn’t it? Good business
sense, too, you must admit.
The South Georgia Dailies believe
• that the way to help make the exist
ing South Georgia industries profit
able is to widen the demand for their
products—to familiarize home folks
with these products of every day
use; to tell South Georgians where
and.how to obtain these products and
why they should use them.
. It is notorious that Georgians as a
1 ule are very careless about using
home manufactured products, a fact
which demonstrates the actual power
advertising. Hundreds of manu
facturers of our own territory know
to their sorrow that competing pro
ducts and articles widely known
through extensive advertising, al
though in no respect better or more
desirable and although shipped hun
dreds of thousands of miles and often
sold at higher prices, find ready sale
over the home manufactured product.
Why? The public knows the one
through persistent and effective ad
vertising, whereas he knows little or
nothing about the other—and he
doesn’t care to take the chance by
buying Them, not knowing.
The South Georgia Dailies know
thql first class products are turned
out of thousands oj Georgia factories
mrge and small products that the
manufacturers are glad to stand be
hind and which the newspapers them
selves can endorse and recommend
lhey believe that all that stands be
tween these products and ready sale
at home is popularizing them with
the people—letting the public know
what the article is, that it is Georgia
•nade, and where it can be obtained,
'nd they believe the place to start
popularizing these products is right
in our nine prosperous cities of Soujh
oeorgta large enough to afford Hui v
newspapers—Americus, Cordele, Al-
Tifton,’ .Moultrie, Vfil.F

“Oh, look! There are the big tents right ahead of us!”
’T’HE seventh valley was called the
* Valley of the Circus.
“There isn’t si bit of use in me
trying to tell you not to stay here,”
said the dove who was guiding them.
“One might just as well tell a fish
to stay out of the water.”
“Why?” asked Nancy.
“Because a circus stays here,
when it isn’t traveling around the
earth,” answered the dove. “And
Twelve Toes and Tricky Trixo and
Eena Meena have till gone together
to Work their wicked magic so that
you Twins will have to stop. You’ll
forget all about your jouryey to the
Kingdom of the Korsknotts. But
Flippety-Hop, a dittle fairy friend
of mine, happens to be here now,
and I’ll have him speak to you after
you have seen the most interesting
things. Perhaps the magic will have
worn off then enough to let you

hawthorne tree across the valley.
There is only one more valley after
this, you know, until you reach the

TTHE many friends of Mrs. Robert
* Fetner will regret the automobile
accident yesterday which resulted in
a broken wrist. Mrs. Fetner was
cranking her car, when the handle
turned suddenly and struck her right
wrist, fracturing it severely.
It will be gratifying to the many
friends here of Recorder George R.
Kline, of Moultrie, to learn that he
has-been appointed secretary of the
SouUiwe. t ' Georgia Industrial and
I'omnu rcial association for Colquitt
county. This is a distinct tribute to
he public spirit and enterprise of
Recorder Kline, who thus made many
friends in Americus, whyrd he has
real estate and other interests.

ers whereby they may advertise their
products to the people of these com
munities simultaneously andcontapra
lively inexpensively as a starter in
the right direction, with the privi
lege exclusive to themselves, no
manufacturer from any other section
even of Georgia being admitted. The
newspapers are undertaking this pro
gram at some sacrifice at this time,
but they so deeply feel that it a step
in the right direction, and one so
laden with possibilities for future de
velopment of good business to them
selves by demonstrating to the home
manufacturers their possibilities
through the right kind of advertising,
that they are going to it, regardless
of the effort and expense. And with
the campaign will go all the force
these combined papers can command
editorially, morally and other wise.
Manufacturers of any article with
more than purely local possibilities
are asked to digest this whole pro
gram as outlined here briefly. If

Instead he said, in spite of himself,
"Ob, look! '1 here are the big tents

I what Nick had made up his mind to
!do and go straight ahead through

I Yesterday nearly the entire popu

i memorating the deeds and valor of
■ the fallen sons of the Confederacy:
! At 3 o’clock the procession was form
i ed in front of the public library. The
■ Confederate Veterans were at the
front. The little children followed
i them and the Americus Light Infgn
i try brought up the rear. There were
; about twenty ex-Confederate voter
■ ans in line and at least three hun
dred children, ’lhe exercises at the
' cemetery were witnessed by about
; four hundred people. Mr. Thornton
j Wheatley acted -as master of cere
, monies.
It may not be known generally,
j that the author of those sweet and
1 inspiring notes heard in the music
at the cemetery yesterday, is an
Americus gentleman. Mr. Stephen
Ships was the composer and select
ed the accompanying words. All
Americus appreciates the kindness of
this talented gentleman.
