Let him that stoles steal no
more, but rather let him labor,
working with his hands the tning
which is good, that he may have
to give to him that ncedeth. —

AMEND IMMIGRATION
LAWS SAYS WINBURN.
Amendment of the existing
immigrationi laws so that aliens
from Northern Europe will be
attracted to this country, is the
remedy suggested by W. A. Win
burn, president of the Central
of Georgia Railway for the stop
ping of the migration of the
negro labor from the South.
As executive head of one the
great railways, Mr. Winburn, in
common with other outstanding
figures in the railroad world
realizes the gravity of the situa
tion since the exodus of thou
sands of negroes from, all sec
tions of the South has placed a
great handicap on farming oper
ations as well as other lines of
business.
Mr. Winburn says that his line
can be depended upon to do any
thing within their power to aid
farm and factory in' this emerg
ency, but says that the situation
can only be improved in two
ways—immediately by conces
sional handling of the economic
aspects, and in the long run by
dealing with certain local con
ditions which, we of the South
must do for ourselves. Mr. Win
burn, however, says he does not
see how r the railways' could as
sist in apprehending labor
agents.
Mr. Winburn’s views on this
question were brought forth by
a letter written him by a Sum
ter county farmer, B. E. Thrash
er, Jr., residing at Plains. Mr.
Thrasher “stated the case” for
the farmers in his communica
tion tt> Mr. Winburn as follows:
“Just a few words—last Sat
urday night three of my farm
left Americus on “the
Southland,” northbound. One re
turned. Here is what, he said;
‘We got on the train, went to
Andersonville and a man paid
our fare to Macon and bought
us tickets to Indiana. I got left
and came home.’
“It seems to me if the railroads
would put forth one least ef
fort they could l apprehend ev
ery labor agent operating. They
may want the money , but it
seems they are selling futures
for a very small price, and no
margin.
“If the farmers continue to
be robbed it will hit everybody
and particularly the railroads.
“Are you sufficiently inter
ested to put forth any legiti
mate effort to stop this migra
tion? Outside of losing help the
farmers are being robbed of
thousands in the way of honest
advances of food, clothing, cash
money, fines, road tax etc, etc.
our interest will be appre
ciated and your ideas expressed
will be enlightening.”
POLITICS PLAYED
WITH THE FLEET.
Politics reduces some
branches of the public service to
an absurb proposition. It is well
known that almost without ex
ception men have been ap
pointed to places on the ship
ping board , Republicans and
Democrats, who knew abso
lutely nothing about handling
ships and whose only recom
mendation was their familiarity
with political steering gear.
Talk about building up a mer
chant marine by political meth
ods, and competing for shipping
with highly trained maritime
men of other nations, who have
grown up on board of ships, so
to speak, and who do not play
politics, should give the people
some comprehension of the fal
lacy of governmental operation
of transportation organizations
on land and sea.
American built ships art
still rotting in squads and
flocks in our great harbors, like
abandoned decoy ducks in a
hunting preserve. The palsied
hand of politics tries to manip
ulate these fleets, value 4 origin
ally at some three billions, which
< the taxpayers are gradually be
ing called upon to liqquidate
Coleridge- in the Ancient Marin-
er, fitly described this kind of
-a merchant marine as “painted
ships on a painted ocean.”
r
- “NOBODY TO ;
PLAY WITH.”
Folks are; naturally compan
ionshipable. When your heart
* ionable. When your heart
’ like someone to rejoice with you.
j Even “ntlsery loves company.”
; The most forlorn urchin in the
world is the one who has no
body to play with. He can’t be
happy. i
Al] of us are continually sur
‘ rounded by better thoughts and
things. When we consistently
overlook them we are as badly
off as the youngster who has to
play alone.
The business of bringing these
thoughts and things to you is
the service of advertising. It is
the voice of the loom, the shop,
the foundry, the laboratory—all
the places where minds turn
pleasant thoughts into worth
while things for you.
Do you read the advertise
ments in the paper? Do it. It’s
a paying habit.
CONDUCT OF PEOPLE
PROSPERITY HARBINGER.
The concensus of opinion . of
the financial journals and finan
ciers generally is that prosper
ity is here and will remain just
so long as the people keep their
heads. The opinion seems to be
predicated on the idea that pros
perity is not so much manipula
tion by capital as it is of con
duct by people. Capital may in
vest and through investment ex
pand business and -industry, but
can do so only so long as there
is co-operation for the pro
ducers of the country and from
the consumers.
There is a vast difference be
tween working together and
pulling apart. In working togth
er capital and labor seek to cre
ate and produce for the general
welfare, each being satisfied
with whatever just profit may
accrue. In pulling apart each
demands first his share regard
less of whatever or not there has
/been production warranting di
vision, with the general result
that production is curtailed rath
er than stimulated. It is just
this" sort of thing that the coun
try is warned against. Chauncey
M. Depew put the matter
straight when he said: “Corpora
tions seldom declare dividends
before they earn them.” Produc
ers will probably find) it very
difficult to do otherwise.
All the more should there be
pulling together because of •
some conditions that are not
wholly advantageous. There al
ready is overproduction in some
lines and shortage in others.
There is an abundance of
skilled labor in certain parts of
the country and shortage of
common labor in others. There is
money enough for certain pur
poses and not enough for others.
There has to be a leveling off of
the high spots and the raising of
the low in business and industry,
and this can never be done with
out full co-operation on the part
of everyone.
THE HIGH COURT
OF PUBLIC OPINION.
Worthy goods are the only
ones that can successfully stand
trial at the High Court of Public
Opinion. All others are quickly
condemned and sentenced to ob
livion.
The manufacturer who adver
tises, deliberately places his
merchandise on trial. Ke invites
your critical inspection. He makes
P- 1 licljt certain claims, on
the fulfillment of which depends
his commercial success. If he
were not sure of his goods he
would not dare to advertise. For
advertising would put him to a
test he could not meet, and thus
hasten the end of his business
career. _
Advertising protects you
against fraud and inferority. It
saves you money by pointing out
for your consideration only the
best products.
Well-informed buyers seek
news of good merchandise in
the advertising columns and are
guided by the messages they
find there. Read the advertise
ments.
EDITORIAL
COMMENT.
Florida, we find, is too, study
ing ways and means to econi
-1 mize in her governmental af
fairs. The .Times-Union goes to
the heart of things this wise:-
“Suggestions are again heard
heard to combine county and
city governments for the sake
of economy; but where was
there ever found a politician who
cared a rap for a economy? And
the politicians run the affairs of
their fellowmen, chiefly be
cause the big majority is too in
'' different to take a personal in
terest in things.”

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY
(From the Times-Recorder. June
23. 1903.)
One of the Mrgesli sand moHt
congenial parties of Americus peo
ple leaving for the .East this sea
son will go tomorrow to Boston
direct and after a stay of six weeks
in the ‘Hub’ Will to New York
for two weeks. Those going are:
Mrs. Lula Bell, Mesdames. C. B.
Raines, S. R. Johnson, E. J. Me-
Math, Maude H. Smith, Emily
Wylie, Misses Annie May Bell,
Lula Kay, Maggie Buchanan,
Y onah Buchanan, Lena Parramore,
Kate Thornton, Miss Allen and
Miss Maude Saxon of Shellman.
Mr. Carter, of Florida, and Mr.
Jorn Setgast, of this city will also
be members of the party.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. L. S.
Tower, on Church street, was the
scene of a very quiet but pretty
wedding last evening when their
beautiful young daughter, Lamar
tine, became the bride of Barlow
Council. There were no attendants
save Misses Hazel Tower, Flora
Hamil, and Verr, Goolsby, three
charming and beautiful young
ladies. The bride is one of Amer
icus’ fairest and most deservedly
popular young ladies, and though a
debutante of one season only she
occupied an enviable place in the
soical realms here. Mr. Council is
a sterling, successful and well
known young business man. The
young couple left at 10 o’clock for
Lookout Mountain, and after a
short sojourn there will be “at
home” at their behutifu|i tsubur-*
ban residence here.
Daily Poem Ecrt „X, ey
FOOLS
The wise men said, “Why, the world is flat!
Our fathers’ fathers have taught us that;
And all experience goes to show
I hat what our fathers have said is so.
It’s only fools who would dare allege
That one could sail o’er the ocean’s edge.”
But the fools—the fools!—let the toxin sound it
Sailed to the blue-sky’s edge-—and ’round it.
The wise men said, “It is all a dream,
That anything can be done with steam.”
The wise men said, “He’s a fool for fair,
Who thinks wc ever shall ride the air.”
But the fools believed, and the fools held true
To their foolishness, till they saw it through;
And a fool must follow his natural bent—
So now we swoop through the firmament.
The fools, the fools! how they loom in sight,
Gallileo, Columbus, Wright,
Watts and Stephenson-—pioneers
« Conquering nature, charting spheres!
And ever the wise men—learning naught,
Jeered the aims and the ends they sought,
In the teeth of all the creeds and schools,
Man is led to the heights—by Fools!
