A Thought
The sleep of a laboring man
is sweet, whether he eat little
or much; but the abundance of
the rich will not suffer him to
sleep.—Eccles. 5:12.
Everyone for his home, ev
eryone for himself.—M. Dupin.
SOUTH GEORGIAS RECENT
LOSS THROUGH DEATH.
We do not recall ever having
to record the death of so many
prominent citizens, all residents
of the southern portion of Geor
gia, all occurring within a few
days of each other. In their pas
sing the state has indeed) loss
emu who devoted their lives to
the upbuilding of their respective
communities and of the whole
state, as for that matter.
Judge William C. Worrill,
for a long time judge of the
Superior courts of the Pataula
circuit, was the first to go.
Here death removed a good man
from office who was fearless
and incorruptible, who was a
product of Southwest Georgia,
was bor nand reared in Stew
art county, moving to Cuthbert
in young manhood where he
since lived out the years of his
alloted life.
Next to answer the call was
that sterling Christian gentle
men, untimatefy pea|ih
occurred at Waycross where he
had lived for forty years. We
refer to the passing of V. L.
Stantor\ who a friend of
the writer as w’ell to all others
who came to know him. When
he came to die, his home town
paper, the Waycross Journal-
Herald, paid editorial homage
to him with turnM rules? ! Mr.
Stanton was born in South
Carolina, but spent mdst of his
life in the state of his adoption
which he loved so well.
Georgia and the entire south
has lost its best friend in the
death on Saturday night of
George T. Betts at his Ashburn
home following an operation a
week ago for appendictitis. Mr.
Betts was just in the prime of
life, only 42 years old, yet be
literally, yielded 'his life fbn the
good his state, the result of
overwork in the Georgia Asso
ciation of which organization he
was president. He was the au
thor of the “Turner County
Plan’” which has been adopted
by many communities. His
lplae| wjll be (hardj to
fill in the scheme of Georgia’s
construction program which he
had mapped out so well.
In the ranks of the ministery,
Rev. J. N. Hudson, beloved
churchman, and for 25 years a
member of the South Georgia
Methodist conference, passed to
his reward after many months
of suffering. He was living in
Macon at the time of his death
Sunday. K’is body rests in Ella
ville cemetery. Mr. Hudson had
scores of friends and relatives
in this section where he was
known and loved.
AS FATHER IS
SO IS HIS SON.
There is a movement under
way in the second congressional
district of North Carolina, the
district’ presided over so well at
Washington by the late Claude
Kitcherifi for all prospective dem
ocratic candidates for the place
made vacant by the death of
the minority leader in the
House, to stand aside in order
that his son, Mills Kitchen,
may be elected to the unexpired
term. The next general election
will be held in 1924.
As the announced and pros
pective candidates have all
withdrawn in favor of the can
didacy of young Mr. Kitchen,
it is likely that he will have a
clear field and thus be elevated
to a position to which his father
had attained. That he is well
equipped for the responsible
duties of the position is made
clear by the unanimity of the
movenient in his favor.
Here in the third (Americus)
district we have almost an exact
duplicate of the action first
taken by the voters of the dis
trict in sending young “Charlie”
Crisp to the House to fill his
distinguished father’s unexpired,
term, since which time, although
he has encountered opposition
in the ranks of his own party,
yet term after term the voters
have sent him back, thus show-
mg their approval of his service
rendered his district. In the
meantime Mr Crisp has endear
ed himself to the voters of this
district so much so that he has
many more years yet ahead of
him in the halls of congress.
Meantime Mr. Crisp has grown
until he has achieved a national
reputation. The confidence
which the voters placed in him
has been fully met through his
loyalty to every trust reposed in
him.
We make the prediction that
young Mills Kitchen will make
just such man as was his fath
er. The old North State was
proud to honor his father for he
adhered to the tenets of his
faith by always taking a de
cided stand on every public
question.
We shall watch with keenest
interest the career of this young
man who fares forth to serve
his country. We are sure that
the voters of the second North
Carolina district will not be dis
appointed in their desire to
honor their fallen leader by ele
vating the son to such a dis
tinguished position in the pub
lic affairs. Having been in his
father‘s office for so many
years his service in congress will
come naturally to him.
GRIEF BOWED TOWN
BURIES FIRE VICTIMS.
Cleveland, South Caroling is
grief stricken over the death of
seventy-six children, parents
and friends in a schoolhouse fire
It is useless to elaborate on the
details of the fire which re
sulted from a rickity fastening
causing an oil lamp to fall to
the floor during an entertain
men being given by the children.
The suffering caused by such
fires as this is beyond under
standing and yet almost weekly
we read of school house trage
dies where one or more children
meet death.
The only difference between
this fire and others is iti the
number killed , and this will |
bring it forcibly to the atten
tion of the whole nation.
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters has been doing
everything in its power to show
the Anierican peojfle 4 he crimin
al-waste which they permit each,
year when they %Ujw 15,W0
persons and some 5500,000,000
in property to be wiped out by
fire, when about 90 per cent of
such death and loss is preventa
ble.
The Underwriters Labora
tories in Chicago has been test
ing every kind of building and
household equipment, as to its
fire proof o\- fire resisting
qualities and its advice on
those matters is free to the pub
lic.
Carelessness with lire is
equally dangerous in a iittle
town like Cleveland or in s
great city like New York.
Let this awful disaster warn
every household in tie land to
be careful with fire aa cl let par
tents demand! that public offi
cials see that school houses and
public buildings are properly
safeguarded so that another
Cleveland catastrophy cannot
occur.
THE MODERN WOMAN
IS BUSINESS WOMAN.
She is a business woman. She
makes 80 per cent of all pur
chases made in retail stores.
She is an astute, clever buyer.
She runs her household strictly
on a business basis.
She is constantly in touch
with the stores and their offer
ings. Through the advertising
she knows the lowest prices, the
best qualities and the newest
commodities. Long before she
leaves the house for a shopping
trip, she knows exactly what she
wants, where to get it and how
much to pay.
She buys merchandise of es
tablished reputation. If it’s
clothing, she knows how well it
should wear and what the style
should be. If it s a musical in
strument, she knows what to ex
pect in tone and workmanship.
If it’s a vacuum cleaner, she
know,: what kind of service it
should give.
Ask her and she will tell you
it pays to read the advertise
ments.
It will pay you too. It will
save you time, money and ef
fort. It will help you dress bet
ter, sleep better and live better.
Try reading the advertise
ments. Your time will be well in
vested.
Here’s news from' Georgia.

I OLD DAIS US AMERICI
TEN YEARS AGO TODAY
(From the Times-Recorder. June
19, 1913.)
Americus will have a most lively
Fourth of July from the plans that
are being discussed here in that
particular by the Board of Trade
and the business men of the city.
According to the schedule of the
Empire State League there will be
only one game of ball played in
Americus on the Fourth of July,
in addition to the ball game there
will be many other attractions as
in the past.
The continued illness of Mr.
Puiaskj Holt is a matter of much
concern to his family and many
friends here, as it is now regarded
as of serious nature.
“Under the most favorable con
ditions from this date I believe
that a normal crop of cotton will
be made in Sumter and throughout
this section of Georgia. Stands are
poor in many instances, but with
plenty of sunshine and occasional
showers; just enough to afford
sufficient moisture, conditions will
improve rapidly,” said Mr. L. G
Council, yesterday in discussing
the crop situation here.
Mrs. Lula Burkhalter and Miss
Sarah Burkhalter will leave tomor
row for Columbia, S. C. upon a
visit of some length to Mr. and
Mrs. Hooks Burkhalter.

AMBITION
‘‘l’m gonna get mine,” said the smart young chap,
And he snapped his jaws with a vicious snap-
I m gonna get mine! In the bitter-strife,
The ruthless game that is known as life,
I’m gonna get mine. And there’s not a doubt
That the weaker brethren had best watch out.
r or life is a grab-bag, I opine, ,
And you erfh wager that I’ll get mine.”
I m gonna get mine. You can make that bet,
And—anything else that I can get.
For everybody is out for blood
And ready to trample you in the mud.
And if with failure you won’t be cursed,
You’ve got to get there— and get there first!
I Ay’s a by-word, and love’s a ‘shine’-
So they won’t hamper me—l’ll get mi’ne.”
‘Tm gonna get mine,” said the wise young guy,
With a steely glint in his steel-blue eye.
And the kid is right—if he holds that creed
Os cruel selfishness, hate and greed,
Os grasping things in an iron clutch’;
Os giving little and claiming much,
Os scorning honor and brotherhood;’
He’s gonna get his— and he’ll get it good!

BRUNSWICK MAYOR SENDS
OUT CIRCULAR LETTER
BRUNSWICK, June 19.-—Mayor
M, B. McKinnon has mailed a let
ter to every member of the Geor
gia House and Senate, outlining
the position this city in the
State Port project, which is ex
pected to come up at the approach
ing session of the Georgia legisla
ture.
Brunswick is assuming the same
position that she has always taken
in the state port fight, that is that
this city, being a port considers
that the establishment of state
port is for the benefit of the farm
ers, the manufacturers and other
large producers of the state, and
for that reason, is a question in
which a port should not assume the
leading role, therefore this city
has not been carrying on an ad
vertising campaign, but awaiting
the action of the people of Georgia
who should first decide whether or
not a state port is necessary.
