A THOUGHT FOR TODAY, Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men.— 2 Corinthians 3:2. s The dear Lord’s best interpreters Are humble human souls; The Gospel of a life like theirs Is more than books or scrolls. From scheme and creed the light goes out, The saintly fact survives; The blessed Master none can doubt Revealed the holy lives. —John G.Whittier. || rm ii an em •» MMan• •• ■ EDITORIAL. ED TIMMERMAN. /”VJR sister city of Plains, a com munity abounding in good citi zens and big men, has lost one of this ■ biggest* and best of them ail. Ed Timmerman is dead. And all Sumter county and the country ’round about mourns with Plains. Mr. Timmerman lived a most use ful life. He was a friend to man, but his quiet and unassuming man ner, his kindnesses done in strict privacy, kept the public gaze from much of his good deeds. How much sadder, really, should be the passing on of a man who has wasted his opportunities in life, who comes to his end unhonored and un sung! Mr. Timmerman has passed on and we mourn. But he has left behind hint.a hepeficient memory, a record of a good citizen who always, did his duty—and more. More splendid epitaphs have been written, but few greater. BURYING MISTAKES. OICTURE a funeral passing your house with 38,000 hearses, each hearse containing an American busi ness firm. . ( That gives you an accurate idea of the number of business failures since prices’began to tumble in May, 1920. - . But all is not gloom. • Standing thoughtfully on the curb stones, watching their deceased brethren going to Dun & Bradstreet’s cemetery, are nearly 2,000,000 busi ness organizations that have weather ed the storm without sinking. In two years of very severe de pression, only one business in each 53 has failed. In a flash this illustrates the great underlying strength of our business organization, the Gibraltar that can not be toppled by any storm. As usual, of course, attention cen ters on the ships that sink. Ships that weather the storm are ignored. Thus'the financial ocean, like the Seven Seas, gets a worse reputation than it really deserves. In May, only 1960 failures. Many will snort and wonder why the ‘only.’ If they turn back four months, ■‘hey find 2723 failures in January. Steadily the storm subsides. Ob serving this, young blood desires to put to sea—to try its hand. So, in May 954 new companies were in corporated in the prinicpal states, with capital of SIOO,OOO or more apiece. Thousands of smaller ones also ventured forth. They are the rowboats. How much did they fail for? That is the important question. Failures, during the depression that now is nearing its ends, have had total li abilities or debts at a rate of about $600,000,000 a year. Assets have averaged enough to pay about 50 cents on sl. The total or net loss, due to fail ures, has been running around $300,- 000,000 a year—or about $3 a year for each American. This, after all, is not such a big price to pay for getting out of the woods. Several million Russians arc home less. Several million Americans couldn't be home less. Detroit woman had a man arrest ed because he pinched her. The charge was not “impersonating an officer. Cheer up. The first three months of summer are the hottest. Jazz is popular because they can J lay the same piece over and you don’t recognize it. A snail travels a foot in four min utes. Contrary to rumor, this is hot as fast as a street car. fcQ] Advehture-s > L, i Ezq ©£■ THE: TWINS wil Cthm Robe* Barter COMET-LEGS SCORES A POINT—BUT SO DO TWINS. w Wr Z/k Quick at a Wink He Gave the Moon-Man a Push. was a rival of Mr. Peerabout, the Mrn-in-the-Moon One day he rode up : he moon on his star and hopped oft. “Now then,” said he, “I’ll just go round to the cities of the moon and show the moon people how hand some I am. No doubt they’ll put old Peerabout out and give me his place. “He’s too old anyway, and earth folks want a change. I'll bet they’re good ’n’ tired having the same old rtoon run the same old way.” The idea tickled Comet-Legs so much he began to ho, ho and hee, hoe till his round tummy shook up and down like a plum pudding. By ’n’ by he came to a mountain top and looked down at the earth. When he got up, there was old Peerabout looking at him! Quick as a wink he gave the Moon-Man a push, and away went he head over heels into space. Comet-Legs went on his way. He was so tickled he began to make up a song of his own. This was it: OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS TEN TEARS AGO TODAY. (From the Times-Recorder June 11, 1912.) MR. aad Mrs. Wallis Mott left yes terday for Richland where they go to reside, Mr. Mott having en gaged in business there.

Besides honorary mention, this con fers upon the six a certificate to teach in the primary grades of the schools without further examination.

And at midnight I’ll see that it’s noon. “The moon I’ll send ’tother way ’round, That’ll interest folks I'll be bound, From the west to the east, I shall shove it at least Quite half of the time after day light has ceased From Pike's Peak to Long Island Sound.” Suddenly he stopped and gave a loud yell. “Stop that!” he shouted. But he was too late. Nancy and Nick had come up to the sky and cut the rope he fastened his star with. Then they rode off on it toward the east. (To Be Continued.)

Miss Lou Hamil returned home yesterday from the Agnes Scott col lege for vacation. Yesterday was a scorcher. Street cars would have been most accept able. The mail carriers donned their gray uniforms yesterday. Things look regulation now. Eustace Speer, an old Americus buy who is very popular, is down visiting his homefolks. The tapestries in the drawing room and parlor of the Hotel Windsor have been put in place, and they are most lovely. They have to be seen to be appreciated. Mr. Craft is now put ting up the tapestries in the bridal chamber. The opening will surely occur next week.
