REVIVAL SEASON
GRIPS AMERICUS.
A season of revivals is on in
Americus. Local Methodists, un
der the leadership of Pastor John
Outler, of the First church, began
revival services Sunday, the pas
tor to do all the preaching, being
assisted by a working membership,
and from the beginning made it
seem apparent that success will
crown the efforts of the good peo
ple of Americus who are standing
by the movement.
Pastor Outler is preaching twice '
daily, at 10 o’clock in the morning
and and at 7:45 in the evening.
His messages are of force and pow
er, sure to produce gratifying re
sults. Pastor Outler is appealing to
all citizens to rally to his support
in a movement which means so
much, not only to this immediate
section, but to the entire country
side. As the zeal of this one church
grows it is sure to spread, the
Times-Recorder believes, and many
will have come under the influence
of the local churches.
Next Sunday a like series of
meetings will begin at the First
Baptist church under the leader
ship of Dr. Carl Minor, the pastor.
Dr. William Russell Owen, of Ma
con, will do the preaching.
Local pastors feel that now is
the time for real religious work
all along the line to be done by in
dividual men and women, and to
that end have requested the sup
port of every citizen, from the
busy man of affairs down to those
not so burdened with business, to
support these meetings with their
presence.
So great Js the interest felt in
this work of the churches and their
influence for in (heir res;lo--
tive communties that the whole
state is making earnest appeals for
a better lif4 as is evidenced from
exchanges* coming into the Times-
Recorder office from the, rural dis
tricts as well as the more populous
centers.
Over at Dublin Jas. B. Jones,
mayor of that town issued a proc
lamation calling upon all places of
business to close their doors during
the preaching hours at the sever
al churches there, and for the
good of Dublin and the upholding
of the community to arrange to at
tend so that ‘‘our Master’s cause
may be further strengthened and
our city made better.”
Regardless of denomination,
•whether affiliation at all, these
meetings, the one now in progress
and the others to follow, have been
inaugurated to lift up to a higher
life all who come seeking solace.
Every one is most cordially in
vited to attend these services, and
we bespeak for the membership of
all denominations the earnest sup
port of every citizen.
INFLUENCE WIELDED
BY EDITORIAL PEN.
Chester S. Lord, than whom
there is no more brilliant writer,
especially on newspaper topics, has
written his estimate of the influ
ence wielded by the editor. These
extracts from his pen appear in the
Saturday Evening Post:
The editor literally thinks for
his readers. He acquires a quality
of thought not cultivated or sought
: or possessed by his readers. He is
trained to a mental analysis of the
cause of great events, to an expert
understanding of their present im
portance, to insight into their fu
ture influence. If he has studied he
knows the great influences that for
centuries have governed human
conduct.
In the big cities the editor
knows the quality of mind he is
addressing better than does the
Writer in smaller communities. In
New York, for instance, every
sheet has a different clientele.
Everybody knows which newspa
pers by reason of their scholarly
editorial articles, criticisms, re
news and ngnsensational news ap
peal to the highest intelligence.
And everyone knows the ones that
■ appeal to the nonthinking public.
But in smaller towns the newspa
per goes to the wise and unwise
alike. The task of pleasing every
body requires study, and here edi
torial writing becomes an art in
deed. The scholar may sneer at
the article that pleases the man of
toil, and both may despise the sug
gestion that convinces the man of
medium intelligence.
The editor of scholarly instincts
naturally wants to please the high
est intelligence among his readers,
but the readers who really think
in scholarly way are few. The great
proportion of readers care little
for socalled polite literature; neith
er do they' care for profound in
struction. They want the simpler
sort of editorial comment and are
better pleased with that which ex
plains than that which argues.
They want their news adorned
with breath-catching headlines in
big type.
In the large cities many pro
fessional and business men read
several daily newspapers, but
their number is small compared
with the millions who read one
paper only. In smaller cities and
in the villages and on the farms
it is the exception when more than
one daily newspaper enters the
household, and in very many in
stances this one sheet is all the
reading matter the members of
the household have. Their entire
conception of public affairs is had
from this publication. Os course
they are influenced by it. They let
the editor think for them and they
accept his conclusions.
CONGRESSMEN RELAX
FROM THE STRAIN.
Two tired former congressmen,
on a junketing trip in the Canal
zone by the grace of the United
States navy, donned the flapping
regalia of regular seamen and
fared forth to see the sights. Ac
cording to press reports they saw
everything, including the municipal
jail, where they were stowed be
cause they forgot that their
passes provided that they should
return to their ship before 11
o’clock.
The case is one to arouse pity.
Congressmen in office, of course
would indulge in no such silly pas
time, for the dignity of the high
office would not permit of mas
querading in the streets of a
foreign city and of risking the
likelihood of being thrown into jail
as excitement-seeking coal-heavers.
But with an ex-congressman the
case is different. Worn to a fraz
zle by’ the burdens of public ser
vice, mind tired weary, nerves on
edge, an ex-congressman natural
ly reverts relaxation as gro
tesque and silly as those of the
school boy on the first day of the
summer vacation.
It is especially understandable
that a congressman who has left
the public service after two years
in the sixty seventh congress
should feel like a sailor on shore
leave. -He has been riding on a
sea of words for a long time.
Daily Poem
MERE PREJUDICE
By Bcrton Braley
The guy who says, “See!” don't
mind;
Nor he who says, always, “Yuh
know!”
But there is one type of mankind
Which causes my temper to glow—
And that’s the gazabo, the bird or
the bean,
Who’s constantly saying, “You know
what I mean?”
“I’m wondering whether—you know
what I mean?
This uncertain weather will stay on
the scene ?
I feel like a winner all peppy and
keen,
I’ve just had my dinner —You know
what I mean?
With rising inflection ho uses this
phrase
And keeps on repeating it all of his
days,
Till, though I’m a person well poised
and serene,
I feel I must kill him —“You know
what I mean?”
“That girl is a pippin—you know
what I mean?”
She sets my heart skippin, she sure
is a queen!
The grass keeps on growing—its col
or is green,
The wind's always blowing you
know what I mean?”
So sentence by sentence and time
after time
And whether the subpect be gay or
sublime
This phrase he repeats without rea
son or rhyme,
This constant, “You know what I
mean?”
!
The guy who repeats “Understand?”
With every remark that he makes,
Is one that should promptly be can
ned;
But greatest of human mistakes.
Is that pesky bozo or bimbo or bean
Who ends every sentence, “You know
what I mean?”

here in several months, and was of
interest in local warehouse circles.
The sale amounted to $13,000. The
cotton was sold to Mr. Robert Lips

lot will serve to reduce warehouse

While farmers about Americus
have used no more fertilizer this year
than’ last season ,they will be inter
ested in the fact that over 5,000,-
000 fertilizer and cotton seed meal

to yo ;-the price of the jewels? And
why have you followed me to Mar.
“No one has given me any

Louisa exclaimed. “Tell
us why you came to Marseilles, and
why Klmmington, the English de
tectlve, has followed. Tell us who
called your new lover. Norman
Grey< ' , from Monte Carlo?”
.Again there Was a pe a! of d erislvo
I laughter from Louisa Martin fol
lowed by the soft ringing of an
ch ”trlc bell and a fierce oath from
M.chael. There was a moment’s
i silence, the scurrying of feet, the
inging bock of what sounded like a d
Michael's voice, when he ■
“You have had your chance,
Janet,” he said. "I shall leave vou
to Louisa."
A fortunate madness seized me I
flung my whole weight against the
door, and we fell into the place in a
iieap, Janet, her feet and arms tied
with cord, white and numb with fear,
was lying on the ground; Louisa Mar
tin, with the face of a Fury, and
eyes Ailed with hate, leaned over
her. Michael, with unrecognizable
face but unforgetable eyes, was al*
- ready halfway through ‘a trapdoor.
He raised his arm simultaneously
with mine. Our pistols spoke to
gether, and the sound of their re
port was followed almost immediate
ly by the crashing of the trap-door.
I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder;
and for a moment I think I went
mad. I was cutting,the cords which
I bound Janet's hands and feet, taik
; ing to her foolishly, trying to keep
back the faintness which threatened
me. Then the mist came, and the
room rocked.
• • •
MY first visitor in the hospital,
six weeks later, was Monsieur
Demayel.
’’That man’s escape, Sir Norman,"
he confessed, "was a most deplor
able incident."
“How did he get away?” I in
quired.
“He descended through the trap
door from the room in which you
found him,” Monsieur Demayel ex
plained, “by means of a rope ladder,
to a narrow inlet of the harbor,
which at full tide is directly under
i neath. He secured the trapdoor be
' hind him by’ means of a bolt, got into
a petrol launch and apparently made
his way across the bay. The launch
was discovered next day upon the
beach, and there is a theory that he
was washed overboard by a heavy
sea."
"Louisa Martin?” I asked.
“Safe for seven years,” was the
grim reply.
“And —the Englishwoman?”
Monsieur Demayel glanced suspi
ciously at Tie flowers by my bedside.
"She remained in Marseilles for
some time. I do not know her pres
ent whereabouts.”
As soon as my visitor 1 had gone, I
sent for the nurse.
“From whom did these flowers
come?" 1 inquired. B
"Until you were out of danger,” "
she told me, “a very beautiful Eng
lish lady called every day. A week
ago she returned to England, but
she left with the Sister an order on a
florist for roses every day for a fort
night.”
"She left no note or message?’
“Nothing.”
“When can I leave for England?”
“In a fortnight, if you behave,”
she answered. “Perhaps never, if
you work yourself into a fever.”
“Nurse,” I asked, “have you ever
been in love?”
“It is not a fit question from a pa
tient to his nurse," she replied, with
a pleasant little gleam in her eyes.
“I need sympathy," 1 explained,
"but if you will not talk to me, I
shall go to sleep.”
"The more you sleep.” ’ she de
clared, “the sooner you will be able
to go to England.”

story of this remarkable series,
