With an investment of not more than SIOO,OOO a company of Newnan capitalists have organized a knitting mill to be located at Carrollton that will employ 200 people. As a rule, there are an average of three workers from each family. The above concern will give em ployment to or will bring in to Carrollton between 65 and 80 families. The Newnan men leased for five years the old Bradley warehouse, a large brick building, in which machinery will be installed. We have a few miles out the old government warehouse, which can be adapted to a similar purpose at a not too great cost. * An initial order for 200 knitting machines was placed by Newnan men, it is stated, and the SIOO,OOO capital is said to be sufficient for Remodeling building, buying ma chine«y and furnishing operating capital. A pay roll of this nature means a great deal to Americus. Stock in Similar concerns have paid inves tors enormous dividends in the past few years. What Newnan men have done, be duplicated in Americus, and one mill of 'this kind usually leads to the erection of others. 4 MEDICAL JOURNALS WILL BE DISCUSSING THIS. * At some unknown date in the future, your heart will stop beat ing. What then? Death, of course. But what is death? Read the strange case of eight-year-old Jack Leaney, of Stratford, Canada. He was ill, in agony. At 10 o’clock at night, his heart flutter ed and ceased beating. Physicians applied every test known to science. “It’s all over,” they an nounced gravely. “The lad is dead.” But shortly after midnight, two hours later, his heart began beating‘again. He breathed. Life was miraculously restored, though only for three hours. At 5 in the morning, he died for the second time. This death was final. Jack Leaney is buried, gone into the hereafter. Medical journals soon will be discussing this. It is possible to bring a man “back to life” after the heart has stopped beating, by injecting adrenalin, most powerful of heart stimulants. But only under cer tain conditions, usually when the sick man expires from the anaes-f thetic during an operation. Even then, according to medical rule, adrenalin must be injected within a few minutes after the heart ‘stops beating. The Jack Leaney case is one of the greatest mysteries in medical history. The doctors, of course, finally will decide that the lad’s first “death” was really a condi tion of suspended animation, form of trance. But isn’t “suspended animation” a good description of his second death—of all deaths? You see a man driving an auto. It runs along smoothly. Then it goes dead, stops. A little tinkering —a broken-down part replaced with a pew one—and the auto runs again. If the collapse of the mech anism is too emphatic, the owner buys a new car. Our bodies are the autos driven by our spirits. The auto wears out. The driver gets a new car. EDITORIAL I COMMENT LITERARY DIGEST SELECTION Wonder what the southern admirers of The Literary Digest think of its treatment of the ne gro exodus from the south and its causes’ The Digest is sup posed to be a publication which gives weekly summary of the best thought of the people. In many respects it is a valuable paper, but in copying a full page cartoon from The Liberator and its selection of cause advanced for the migration of the negro it has inflicted a dent in its own reputation. The cartoon rep resents an army of negro men, I women and children fleeing i from the south. The Literary \ Digest was circulating a picture ! which must inevitably establish a false impression in the minds of thousands of people who, not knowing the south, will ever think of it as a land of savages who burn negro homes, hang the negro to trees and drive them ’ out of the land. There are many ; vicious negro papers in the . north and west, and there is an incendiary organization known as the National Association for Advancement of the Welfare of the Negroes, but the combined evil influences of all these would never work the injury to the reputation of the south that The Literary Digest publication has wrought. Charlotte Ob server. WONT GET VERY FAR. The Marion County Patriot offers McMichael of highway de partment fame as a candidate for governor—and states that he will be a candidate in the next primary. This is a free country. McMichael has a right to run—but if he runs in this direction as well as he ran with his highway department investi gation, he will not get far out of Marion county with the candi dacy for governor. We are just offering this as a suggestion, not that we want to make Mr. McMichael feel cut up about ‘t or anything.—Cordele Dispatch. THE FALL FEED CROP Remember that fall feed crop for the dairy cow. Even if you have beans and other forage for the dairy (>ows, a turnip patch, a rutabaga crop, a beet crop and a cow carrot crop will give variety of diet and that will mean more butter-fat. That is, the chief article for which you are looking.—Cordele Dis patch. WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG. “Uncle Jim," W’illiams, over Greensboro way, has been re miniscing a little, and here is the result of, it: When you and I were young Maggie, men wore boots, let their whiskers grow and swore and chewed tobacco like old folds'; wopien wore long dresses and bustles and underclothes; butter sold for 10 cents and eggs 6ould be had for less than the price of a hen! steak was 8 cents and liver was free for asking, and most of us asked; a work day was ten hours and .the hired girl got two dollars without a limousine! If you struck you were out, as in base ball; if you complained of a pain on the right side, south of the meridian, you were told to go soak your head and eventual ly died full of days and appen dixes, an<T monkeys roamed the forest unafraid; men voted her straight and nobody saw clouds on the horizon;. boys took girls buggy riding and often attained a speed of eight miles an hour, but did their sparking in the parlor before 10 o'clock. Young people had a real square dance, with no hugging in the clinches; man’s word was as good as his bond.—Griffin News. SLATONS POLITICAL DEFEAT. Recently in these columns it was stated that the Frank case was the cause of Jack Slaton’s downfall in Georgia politics. To this Uncle Jim Williams of the Greensboro Herald Journal re plied for the sake of keeping the record straight. We had differend with the Crawfordville Advoeate-Democrat upon the claim that it was the tax equali zation law which brought Slaton down, which defeated Hardwick, and which will in the end prove Walker’s undoing. The Herald Journal recites developments at the Slaton- Hardwick-Felder convention in Macon at which Slaton, with the largest popular vote, was traded out of the senate by a combina tion of the Hardwick and Felder votes. This following the claim of Senator Hoke Smith that President Wilson wanted Hard wick to help make the Wilson administration effective at Washington. We still hold that the Frank Case was the undoing of Slaton if he was politically undone. Watson’s incendiary connection with that case caused the turn it took. To have lost an office by combination in a convention was not enough for the down fall of one of Slaton’s ability. The Frank case finish done in Watson style was the real dose of poison. Referring to this case John Herring in his Tifton Gazette recently wrote these kindly words: “In connection, it is’interest ing to note that Slaton is far away from turmoil of Georgia politics. He and Mrs. Slaton are on a honeymoon anniversary tour oT fEurope. A postcard re ceived from him three weeks ago told that he was viewing the Swiss Alps and one received this week tells that he is in Belgium. It is like the big-hearted Jack Slaton to remember his friends, even while he is on a vacation trip. “It is useless to speculate, but nevertheless interesting, to think what a difference it would have made in Georgia’s? record in the National Congress during the World War and in the political record of the State since, had the man receiving the highest vote of the people in that Sena torial race been given a square deal.”—Cordele Dispatch. s ITTIE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER | OLD DA 15 IN AMERICUS] +.... ——+ TEN YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Times-Recorder.

Soap, which removes the grit and grimee That comes from sweat and toil and stres Soap—it’s a lather which we climb To cleanliness. The simple savage knows it not, But sits wnhin his jungle patch, Forever finding s >me new spot That he must scratch. But slip some soap to him and show Its proper use; you’ll be surprised How rapidly he’ll start to grow More civilized. Disease and dirt stalk hand ih hand, And with them it is hard to cope. But in a real progressive land , There’s always Soap! And this thought bubbles in my bean, Like soda water in a cup, The nation rich in soap will clean The others up! Perhaps when tried out in the wash Mine may prove unveracious dope, But, till that moment comes, b’gosh, I sing of Soap! I Three Srnil e? J3l/S Ideal. Must be awful for a 'movie star to mistake a former wife for a stranger and marry her again. Hay fever has started. Sneez ing at strangers is bad etiquette. Detroit woman demands $50,- 000 for a broken heart, proving the thing isn’t even eracked. New plane weighing 40,000 pounds flies. Nail down the post office. It may get restless. Burbank has crossed peaches with plums. Maybe he could cross a street with heavy traf fic. Terrible news for fish in British streams. Great Britain's unemployed is increasing. Gas sold for six cents in Los Angeles. Must be the climate. Snakes are being kept to catch rats in Sawtelle, Calif. Like keeping mosquitoes to chase flies. School teacher is missing in ■ Pennsylvania, but the kids are afraid she will be founa. Reservoir broke in Pueblo, Colo., and all we hope is that it washed away some picnic ants, Omaha, Neb., has a water shortage. May be one in New York. New Yorkers haven’t looked to see. They are making substitutes for coal. This winter you may have to sit in somebody’s |ap to get warm. The Cinderella of today is the girl who has to sleep in a night gown instead of pajamas, to learn that he is now convale scent and may soon be restored to health. ’ Mrs. John A. Cobb returned yesterday from" Macon where she has been visiting for several days. It is learned that Mr. and Mrs. Stephen R. Johnson will in a short establish business on Lamar street, near Buehanans store, where they will have a variety store, conducted under the juris diction of Mrs. Johnson. That “competition is the life of trade” is well evidenced in the position of the Americus cotton market which, as usual is well above any other interior market in this section of Georgia. Yester day Americus buyers readily paid 10 1-2 cents for the finer grades, while 10 3-8 was the cur renut for the other grades. Miss Beasie Bivins returned home yesterday after a visit of some length to her sister, Mrs. W. Bivins, in Milledgeville. The latest addition to the ranks of those who follow the plow is Col. Lawson Stapleton, who pur chased yesterday the J. J. Parker place of near 300 acres, west of Americus. He will not beat his new S6O Terrell sword into a ploughshare, literally, or 'trade his glittering uniform for a hickory shirt, but he will try farming as a side line nevertheless. The rural retreat will be called “Posumnal Paradise and will compare in re sults with Col. Wheatley “Moon shine” farm. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY Monday morning, no paper pub lished.

The Weevil to Blame An old negro woman, observing stfrne folks looking through a smoked glass at the recent eclipse of the sun, inquired, “Whut’s de mattah wid you folks looking at de sun dat iway?” “Well, auntie, there’s a boll weevil got on the sun and bit a piece out." .

According to the plan, each boy will be as signed to an individual members of the Lions club, who will be re sponsible for the success pf the boy. Ihe proposed plan will be inaugurated with a big dinner at which the boys will be guests.

And has gotten a big enough “rise” out of its listeners co convince it that a new form of dramatic art is in the making. All the world’s an audience. The appeal so far is entirely to the ear. Some experimenter one of these days will blunder on a way to enable the far-off au dience to see, by radio, the play being staged at the broadcasting station. Our descendants, using radio, will see ball games, battles and other important news events as > they occur. I • ifi ifi CREODONT Wolves, tigers, bears, seals, cats dogs and all other meat-eating animals had the same ancestor or original parent, long ago. The common ancestor was the creo dont. So claim scientists. The other- day, jn Asia, they dug up a skull of a creodont which apparently was twice a' large as a grizzly bear.. If thej can also find the remains of i five-toed horse,, they say it’P prove that Asia was the origins home of animals as well as man Sherlock Holmes was an amateu compared with the detectives o' science who are reconstructing the past from faint clues. 9 ■ - * * * AUTO A weather-proof car that doesh’t need a garage will soon be nut oi the market by General Mot ors. I according to word from Detroit Saving garage rent would be ar attractive item for most motorists. The idea of a weather-proof auto is so practicable in prineple that it’s a wonder no one ever thought of it before. Progress is the result of imagination and psychis driving forces. Respect the visionaries. Though often crazy, they re at least not going to seed. * * * “ART” Our larger cities have quite a flood of immoral picture maga zines printed in Europe. Here and there the various societies for the suppression of vice are caus ing th e arrest of newsdealers sell ing these wares. As usual, the favorite defense is that these immoral publication are “art”—but few of the buy ers are artistic. We can be. thank ful that our civilization is not old enough to produce much real art” which in its so-called high er forms is next door to ency and a weathervance of social decay. • * * nicotine Prohibition of tobacco was dis ; cussed privately and earnestly by many of the delegates to the Arfti- Alcoholic Congress in Denmark. The rising generation will wit ness a big campaign for the sup pression of Lady Nicotine. The I idea of tobacco prohibition may I ’’’’Possible of attainment. That was the way the public view- I ed the fight against Demon Rum I in its early days. ♦ ♦ * NIGHT Baseball games are being play ed at night, under highpowered ( “BUBBLE, BUBBLE, TOIL AND TROUBLE” flood lights, in the new athletic field of the General Electric Co., at West Lynn, Mass. The illumi nation is so cleverly arranged that players and audience never lose sight of the ball. Ball games beginning at mid night may be next on the prog ram Baseball is a form of theatri cals rather than a sport, since the audience participates no more than it does at-a movie, and night may after all be; its' logical en vironment. Night baseball would be a great thing for fans who can’t leave their < jobs for after noon games. /' " —,—— " , ; t a j GOVERNMENT OWNS '^Z' MANY RICH MINES WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.
