ONE MORE WORD TO THE PECAN GROWERS. Recently in a ride about the coun ty, ( we noticed a number of pecan and other -trees festooned with cobwebs. Trees that require many years to grow to maturity are being kill ed for the want of .just a little ef fort on the part of the owner. Save the trees. Pecan trees are little gold mines. Let’s forget the weevil on the cotton for a day and • get that caterpillar on the pecan. '“One more word to the pecan Grower,” says the Cordele Dis pach; you should take time to burn out caterpillars. This can be done with a rag on the end of a fishing pole saturated with kero-- sense. To remove the nests now means more pecans next year— or to be more exact in expression, to allow them Ito remain means de struction of the pecan crop of next year.” A stitch In time saves nine and a few hours now will save the tree, which in years to come will bring in many dollars. DESTROY those COTTON STALKS IMMEDIATELY. The more cotton stalks destroy ed now, the greater the cotton crop in Sumter next year; Watch the farmer who lets his stalks remain standing while he dangles a fishing pole over the creek or loafs around talking politics and declaring calcium arsenic is not a poison, but a breafast? food. The farmer who gets busy and • induces his neighbors 'to get’ busy and all of them destroy cotton stalks will be ahead of the game next year, while .the other fellow will be just about where he is today. Conditions are changing. The old ways of doing things will not work today. The fellow who refuses to change with changing conditions is lost. You might just as .well order a wreath of flowers and write his obiturary-. THE OLD-TIME RUM-HOUND HAD IT COMPARATIVELY EASY Twice as many Americans were driven crazy by liquor last year as in -1921. This is claimed by numer ous insanity authorities, including Dr. Horatio M. Pollock of New York State Hospital Commission. It means that booze is stjeadily getting more poisonous, rather than that people are drinking more in spite of prohibition. The old-time rumhound who -saw snakes” had it easy compared with the victim of bootleg hooch. Dr. John A. Houston, head of a state hospital for the insane in Massa chusetts, reports:: “The patients who now come to us after alcoholic drink has ren ered them insane are in a condi tion almost wholly different, io that of patients whom we took in before prohibition. •‘Our alcoholic insane today are in a much more confused mental condition and they are very sick physically. They clp not have the hallucinations and fears characterized the alcoholic insane in former days. But the most not able thing is their awful physical sickness. “This is, of course, due to the poisonous drink which they have taken. They are in such a condi tion that they are really, at least a time, a puzzle t • the diag nostician.” There have always been a great many grades of liquor, Drunkards the old days knew that certain brands of whisky “packed more headache” than others. At the bot tom of the list is bootleg and that is why 7 so many veteran drunkards, knowing liquor anil sampling the sort that circulates today, have gone on the water wagon. Even when comparatively ‘pure bootleg liquor at its best is green liquor. In days every self respecting-bantendfer apologized if the whisky were less than seven years old. » ; EDITORIAL [ COMMENT _ NO Pons, without\^ut^rSf d any defence has Every sucwUST a° ° f ? r - ? r Potentially, ,- tvs th c ton Post< a - n J Washing fall on him w],a hJ Sh ° ald v qji , 11 heavirgs'. q.- V “Wi him an-' Ml r >- “ vo carry conceal ‘ P ° s ' with th" cr-'nfinni apons act.

It is claimed that there is a law in China 'that if a bank fails the president of that bank loses his head. There is no if nor and, no excuses. There are no bank failures in China. If the state of Georgia were really in earnest about wanting to stop mob activ ities and outrages a law to the effeii: that if a, sheriff or his de puties lost a prisoner, that sheriff should be automatically removed from office and made ineligi ble for other office—if that were the law there would be no lost prisoners. If the officers’ lives or welfare were endangered like the prisoners’, they would dodge the mob or stand it off.—Macon Telegraph. EXPOSING EDMONSON. Poor Grover Edmonson. What a tale to tell mates. On a glor ious bat when he should have been serving the “deer peepul” before that Brown investigating committee. What irony of fate. Grover has tried to profit by parading the wickedness of oth ers and now his own crops out badly. He has tried to belittle and besmirch others when his own coat tail was filthy with mor al weakness. Ke should have div ided that liquor with some of the other boys and - kent cuiet about it and it would nod have gotten into the papers. It is a poor rule that, won’t work both way;-. If that had been some one else the Sentinel would have been full of it.—Bainbridge Poii‘- Searchlight. TAXES TOO HIGH. The new occupation tax law covers about everything from the cradle to the grave. It taxes the doctor who first looks upon the newly arrived future citizen. It then goes on down the line and finally eiyds up with a stiff ta : on the undertaker and tombstone maker. It increases the' tax on practically every line of bueines . It is calculated to raise something in the neighborhood of two and a half million dollars above the amount now collected from cial taxes. It will, of course, bo passed on to the consumer. No business institution will pay . it. Everybody that buys something will pay it.—Worth County Local. DON’T MEAN ANYTHING The free school book law has been defeated temporarily, at least. The state’s revenue is at such a low ebb that the defeat of the measure was rather to be expected. “Free school books’’ does not mean that books will actually be free— somebody has to pay for them, ancl ? ust no ''" Georgia is not in a position to as sume' the burden.—Springfield, Herald. PROVING THE PUDDING And now it is demonstrated and then proved—in Brooks coun ty, for a shining example: That an acre of pasture land in South Georgia is worth three of the best acres of pasture land in famed Kentucky. For one thing, the pasture lands of South Georgia can be easily made all the year round pastures. —Savannah News. GIVE GEORGIA PREFERENCE Georgians owe it not only to (themselves, but to their state to give preference to home product-. We are sending too much money out of the state for meat, meal, butter and poultry that we should be produing at home, and or der to encourage home pproduc tion we should .give perforene?, wherever possibble, to home pro ducts.—Albany Herald. SAME CONDITION HERE. ’ The car owners of Thomas ville among the business men ought to park Saturday on some side street so the shoppers will have a chance to stop their cars on the main business streets while they are trading with our merchants.—Thomasville Times- Enterprise. We AMERICUS TTMES-RECOTOER ■ ——..— m--n.- ar —in-- rl - ■■ <■ ■■ u n u OLD DAIS ZA AMERICUS TEN YEARS AGO TODAY (from The Times-Recorder. Oct. 8, 1913.)' Americus peach growers and o. tae state genrally are interested in the announcement of the pro pagation of a new peach that com bines the beauty of the Elberta the distinct advantage of its ripa ing a week or ten days earlier than the latter variety.- The now poach will be known as “Hiley Belle,” and represents the labor and work during 'rthe past five years of Eugene W. Hiley, who is best known to orchardists as the propa gator of the Early, or more correct ly speaking Hiley Belle peach. .That the old world is not the “big ton” show it is cracked up to be was evidenced yesterday when 'v. o brothers. J. R. and Ralph Jones who n dozen years ago separated at their home in-Tennsylvania, met bv accident upon the streets of Ameri cus. They recognition was mutual, as was the joy or reunion after many years of seneration. J. R. Jones is a resident of Americas. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars was the round price at which the plant of the Americus Gas and Electric Co. was sold yesterday in front of the courthouse. The pro perty was disposed of at receivers sale under order of the court, and was bid in by New York parties re presenting the holders of the Bonds of the Americus corporation'. TWENTY YEARS AftO TODAY. (From The Times-Recorder. Oct. 8, 1903.) Americus people now live upon Carolina cabbage, Bermuda onions, Kansas pot-.t , Tennessee turnips, Boston beat , and Chicago bacon While raising motif :• at home. That predi- ted rain did not mat erialize ye. erclay, and Predictor Edornardo Ist'- -.nn is now a pro phet without honor, even in his own country.

Berton Braley | THE EXILE So you’re from Home? Well, I’m sequestered Way down here mid the southern seas In Lotus Land—though somewhat pestered By ants, mosquitoes, snakes and fleas. And lazily the das go flitting, And mine’s a cinch, beyonl a doubt. But tell me how Babe Ruth is hitting ) And how Ty Cobb s making out. Afar from all the silly capers Os politics and business strife, Afar from telegraphs and papers I’m living here the simple life; It’s soft and pretty I am sitting With, azure waters all about, But —tell me how Babe Ruth is hitttng And how Ty Cobb is making out. I wanted peace—and I have found it, I wanted ease—and. ease is mine, This island with white reefs around it, Beneath the equatorial line. And yet I do not mind admitting I get right curious- about How many home runs. Babe is hitting, Ahd how Ty Cobb is making out. You’re going Home, where newsboys bellow And strident Klaxons split the air, Where life’s a scrap—you lucky fellow! I wish I, too, were bound, for there. But when my contract’s up, I’m quitting, I’ll beat it with a joyous shout, And see myself how Babe is hitting And how Ty Cobb is making out! / 7OM SIMS ~SA IS: j . . .I- - - Cooking is an art. It is the art of interior decorating. A cook should knoww whatsis good taste. While gelatin is palatable food) children eating too much may grow up and become shimmy dancers. ( Never think the washing powder is breakfast food or that the break- •. fast food is washing powder. .Always have tomato ketchup bandy. By using enough of it you can eat many , things you don’t like. The most sanitary way oi learn ing to eat spaghetti is to practice with a clean bunch of string. Dried peaches and apples are healthy if you don’t drink too much water after eating them. Keep a little caned soup in the pantry. You can either feed it to company or throw it at burglars. Never pick your teeth at the table. Sitting there feeling as if you ■would like to is more polite. Wha/t kind of tooth pasta do you use? Get a good reliable brand that can be digested easily. Kitchens should be covered with linoleum so steaks accidentally dropped won’t get splinters in them and dining room. Miss Lucile Clegg is holding the ribbons over a’beautiful Kentucky thoroughbred horse. Miss Clegg’s handsome rig is one of the most stylish in the city, and is the admira tion of the many friends of this popular lady. Another slump of twenty points in the cotton fptureS market yes terday brought the price of the fin est grades to the real value of “ddgtail” cotton. I w.-.s a strain to get 8 7-8 for good middling cotton which is a reality should be bring ing about 11 or 12 cents-but for the fact that speculators control prices and only pay what they like. Farmers who hold their cotton even for sixty days will profit there by in the advance which is sure to come. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY. (From The Times-Recorder. Oct. 8, 1893.) Cliff McElroy goes over Ho Col umbus this morning to take tl e position of clerk of the Central hotel, heretofore filled by his bro ther, Robert McElroy. The •latter will return to this city r accept a place with the Americus' Steam Laundry. And now comes Citizen Edgar .1. Miller, who deposes and says that he has a hen of the Black Spanish type of beauty who has laid one egg every day, including Sundays and holidays during a period of twenty months, a'total of 600 eggs, without a days vacation. And Jesse Stallings backs the statement. Miss Georgia Glover left yester day for Atlanta where she goes to. attend the marr- ge of her cousin, Miss Carr which happy event takes place the first o.' next week. Yesterday wa; another red letter day in the Americus cotton mar ket. Receipts and wagon aggregat ed 814 bales while receipts by rail carried the total perhaps, to one thousand. The demand among buy ers was very good, and thousand of bright dollars were turned loose from sales of the great staple. Genial Ed, Hornady, 'fresh from Midway Plaisance and other ati traction’s of Chicago’s big fair, drop ped among his numerous Amerizu* friends yesterday. Teeth should be brushed with an up and down motion as if you are removing restaurant steak. Dq you know how to shake hands? Shake too hard and strang ers will think you are selling some thing. Have you a lazy daughter? If ..she has bobbed hair you might make her use her head for dusting. How far down do you wash, your neck You may have to remove your shirt before strangers some day. Take a tip from the laundry. Re move ink spots from clothes by running them through a meat grind er.] Fossils a million years old have good tooth paste they used?

We can’t >ool nature, we can’t cheat her, hough all of us try repeatedly. 9 « ♦ WEATHER. It’s possible that, in the future :ne weather forecaster will be able to predict a month ahead So claims the Weather Bureau whtc already has had considerable sue c: ■; in this direction, sometimes striking it right three out of four times, in forescasting both tem perature and rainfall. Maybe this would have consider able commercial value. But it would make life duller, for one of the most interesting feathres of emsience is the unccrtairky of the weather. The future loses ‘ most of its charm when it becomes too cer tain—doo cut-and-d ried. • » * it CHAIRS. This must have been an uncom fortable world in the old clays Cescinsky and Gribble haye -writ ten a book reveu.ling (that the chair .-.•as a rare article of furniture 490 years ago, and was almost un mown a century before that. Pre viously people used stools, on which .hey sat more or loss uncomfortably, for thousands of years until some unknown lazy gent, who liked comfort, got the idea of adding a back and (turning the stool into a chair. « h’c CHILDREN. Lot of the money troubles of that well-known institution, the American Family, arc due to al iowing sons and daughters to live at home without paying hoard. So claims Miss Oller, home econo mics adviser of a big eastern bank. She apparently has an incorrect notion of the number of families permitting this board-free arrange ment. But she’s on the right track. ■ It’s unfair to children not to train them for responsibiljty. A child should work for everything- it gets. The kind of work, or the amount, doesn’t matter- —just so he learns that money is the result of some one’s labor. St * * DUST. • City air has as much as 190 mil lion particles of du;V. to the cuci;; foot, but this drops to about 5 inT !jon particles on a clear morni.' l .' :.''tcr the air has been “washed by a rain.

The dust consists of fragment of rubber tires, lime, germs, earth -hoes leather, etc. When you con sider city life- frohi all sides, the , v.onder is that we’re alive at all, i not that there’s so much illness. * ♦ ♦ CONTAGIOUS.
