CHASING THE END OF THE RAINBOW DOWN IN FLORIDA. For several weeks we have heard a great deal regarding the vast opportunities that await every one "down in Florida." More than one Americus mer chant lias had “the Florida Ibug ir. i his bonnet." One merchant said to us thd other day that he hail about covered the state,. searching for a location, but he came back. “Rents are too high; there's a dozen men for every one of those opportunities; I’m staying right here," he said. Chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow has ever been one of humanity’s failings. Oppor tunity too often seems to lie just beyond. Like the African slave, we gaze afar, while trudging day in and day out over a veritable field of diamonds. Following is a first-hand story appearing in the Quitman Free Press, one of the most ably edited papers in the South: Mr. Newton Aiderman, of Quitman, who has recently re turned, from a trip through Flori da, says Florida is a wonderful • place, but he thinks Brooks county people make mistake in leaving their home coiinty and going there. “In the first place,” says Mr. Aiderman, “a man might not to go to Florida unless he has a good deal of money to invest, if he’s broke here he would have to go down there as a laborer and jobs have to be hunted for and several weeks may elapse before he finds a place and in the mean r.ftune living expenses are nigh. "Undoubtedly there is money and prosperity in FloridL; tour ists come down and invest or spend' money, the truck* crops (bring in money. But I tried to study the situation from both sides and it is my honest judg ment that the Brooks county farmers who have land here will do best to stay and all get to gether and work for prosperity here. We have got better! land, than most Florida uand; we have a better climate. I believe we can raise .better truck. We can make a trucking section and that seems to me the thing to do to take up some of our cotton lands I do agree with the people who say that if we put as much ■work, as much fertilizer and as much boosting to our Brooks county lands as those Florida people use in their section, we will make as great a success. _. “J feel hopeful for the fu ! tuVe myself. 1 think it is a m,is- ■ take to talk hard times so much; ■ it-'makes us all feel that we are • worse off than we really are. If • we all have faith in our own ■ county and all work together for ' prosperity here I believe we can . have just as much as people in other sections that are really less favored than ours. t Mr Aiderman says Brooks coun i ty land is better than Florida land, and we believe that Sumer county j land is superior to Brooks county acreage. i And we thoroughly agree with ■ Mr. Aiderman, when he says that ■ if -we folks of South Georgia will put as much work, as much fertil- i izer and as much boasting to our lands we will make just t.s great a success as the Floridian. ' , Opportunites are just as great in . Sumter as anywhere else in the ; woVlti. it m i# h‘of thdland nor the ’ climate that niakes Florida. It is ! the men behind the land. It is cour ’ age and brains and a will to do. THE NATION’S NERVOUSNESS WILL ■ LAPSE INTO CALM. ; The war aroused us to emotion al fury. It over-stimulated our en doerpie glapds to supply us with energy for fighting the war. It left us with, an unbalanced glandu lar system, nationally. That’s what ha-ppens to the average neurasthen ic. It is what has happened to our nation. You know of the nerv "oua sleeper who hearing a neighbor drop a shoe, waited for its compan- | ion to fall, so he could go back t i sleep. ; . The second shoe was put dowi quietly, however, because the neigh bor remembered the nervous wrec. in the next room. Neverthless th N. W .waited for the second, thud and when it didn’t come for a lon while, he called out: , “For the love of Mike, when ar you going to drop that other shoe? The man whose nerves are dis easeit —"on edge”—becomes chroni ically apprehensive, watchful for turn for the worse, expecting dis aster. The nervous victim fears and ex pects additional troubles and com j plications. With this expectant at ,* titudue, he invites what he ex I pects. We create what we fear. 7 J neurasthenic, suffering from a com I plication like Beard’s disease! be . comes convinced that he has or ganic heart trouble as soon a:> hi gets a toucli, of intercostal (be tween-thc-ribs) neuralgic pain from indigestion. An imaginary ailment is worst than the real thing. All of which is as true of nation as of individuals. Right now Amer ica is recovering from a neuras thenic or nervous condition, jsaftde mie, in which we are —constantly imagining that we arc on the verge of disaster. Hence crisis after crisis threatens, thougl it never materializes. OPINIONS OF OTHER EDITORS MORE CREAMERIES AND CATTLE New creamery centers in Soun Georgia are all a-fire with en - thusiasm for dairy cattle —more of them. That’s the law more large, substanfial food crops for the dairy cows marketed through cream shipments and checks in return every two weeks. If we can make the fellow see it that way—the fellow who has hit the rocks this year with cotton— he’ll be smiling next fall.—Cor dele Dispatch. FORMING FAIRS IN CHATHAM With the announcement by the., agricultural .committee of the Sa vannah Board of Trade that a company may be formed to buy and operate farm lands in Chat ham county new agricultural im petus has been given this terri tory. Already in various parts of the country co-operative selling of farm products is going on in view of getting better prices for produce. Everything modern tends to go toward the co-operation. Things that used to be made under a single roof are now manufactur ed at full speed in large quanti ties by large co-operative bodies. Big fortunes are made. 1» not Chatham county’s ac tion in buying a big co-operative farm an innovation for the best? It will certainly be a step in de veloping Chatham county agri culturally. It is proposed, by Courtney; Thorpe, chairman, that SIQO,- 000 be spent on this at the pres ent time. Later much more may be given in case the movement proves a success. With scienti fic and co-operative methods on a large scale, success is assured. —Savannah Press. AMERICAN BANDITS AS BAD AS CHINESE THUGS. American bandits are as bad and perhaps even worse than the Chinese bapdits, or those of oth er nations. America is so accus tomed to reading of a hold-up and a murder and robbery there as to give little attention try the daily reports. Foreign troubles of this "kind get widespread at tention—some people even talkefl of war when a bunch of Chinks I derailed a train and captured a lot of tourists. When a train is held up in the United States the newspaper readers wonder how much was the loot and turn to the sports page Florida Times-Union. Three Smiles 1 Kept His Word. London—Just a tip to holdups, to carry him to the station, tes timony revealed.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY. (From The Times-Recorder, Oct. 27, 1923.) “Helio, Macon, anybody there from Americus?” “Yes; whole town seems to. be here, and happy on the way to the circus, or fol lowing the elephant. Good bye.” ' George Duncan, and Charles I Burke are out of the city today left tliis morning for Bagley, they said, to attend a class meeting up there. Misses Hattie and Amzie • Dan <el, of friendship were among the tair visitors here yesterday at the fair. Miss Josephine Turpin went up to Macon yesterday to be the guest of friends' for a few days. A mai riagc of interest to many friends here will occur on Sunday evening next at the home of the bride’s parents, west of Americus, when Miss Elia Mills and Mr. Geo. T. Israel will be united. Both are well known her e and many friends will extend congratulation's. Mi. and Mrs. Gad Ryals returned 1; G 1 °^ n * n K Hom Macon, where they spent several days, pleasantly, ■and are now receiving the congrat ulations of fribhds at their resi dence on Barlow btfeet. On Sun day vening last Mr. Ryals and Miss Annie Calhoun, of Helen's, were I unied in marriage, leaving soon I thereafter for Macon to visit the' fair. 7 OM SIMS SA IS: Montreal squirrel had 68 gjolf balls stored for nuts.

While the Zev-Papyrus horse race is all over the losers haven’t finished walking home. Men are zso funny. Chicago men who never kissed his wyfe whipped a piano mover who tried it. Washington zoo wants a kangaroo but not for teaching politicians to hop from issue to issue. Man in New York has 65 dogs. We had no idea anybody in New York could be so poor.

During the past few months five converts have been madj?~ from among the convicts, with expecta tions that others wjli join the church in the near future. A committee of negro women as sist the preacher regularly in his work, the religious sei vice consist ing of preaching, prayer service and song-.-, in which all the negro in mates join. During the summer months, when many of th e convicts arc stationed in the open roads Campbell walks out to thejr camp, holding services and urging them to lead better lives both in prison and following their I release. Even though one machine makes 4C,000 mutch stems a minute I smokers seldom have any. A straightened-out ounce spider wed would extend .’SO miles, so we refuse to do it.

A minority opinion. M 'II V BABY Dr. C. St. Claire Drake of Bos ton says he has examined 23,000 babies and has never found one 100 per cent perfect. Theua’s always a i'aw, a defect of some sort, he claims. Doc, that flaw is what makes them human. ti * * TERRIBLE. Buried alive an hour and a half under tons of sand, Sam Shell is dug out and recovers. This hap pens in New York. The reporter who wrote the news story about this ease will never be an editor. He forgot to find out and tell how-Sam managed to keep alive. Did air get 1 to him thru the openings between ! grains of sand? If so, how deeply was he buried? Sam’s case is recommended to neurasthenics who live in constant -ear that death will find them easy prey. The human life spark strug gles amazingly to persist. Nothing dies as hi.rd as man, except a snake. ACETALDEHYDE —is the name of {he poison that helps the alcohol administer a kick to the drinker of moonshine, im aged liquor. Diu.au and Beyer, chemists for Uncle Sam, isolate ace tadehyde and study it. They find it kills rabbits quicker than a bullet behind the ear, also does paralysis stunts internally. Two parts of acetaldehyde in 98 parts of water will preserve raw meat sever'd months. A twiiubrolher of acetaldehyde is present in home-made wine which in fermenting gets too close to the vinegar state —acetic acid. Ace tone is apt to form, lacerating stom achs paralyzing nerve centers. » * * PROPER libtel clerks notice a change.

Cheney & Co., Toledo, O. * BERNARD MACFADDEN Health I Hints by the Father of j Physical Culture The question of the time for going to sleep, and the length .of time for sleeping, are so i:upt>:ta:V that they need Special emphasis.'/ For reasons which no one neatly understands, the body is able to recuperate much more perfectly before midnight, the sleep is more profound, the respiration deeper, the oxygenation of the blood more per fect. It has been said that burglars prefer to do their work early in the night for the reason that the occupants of the house are less likely" to ar that time than in ..the hours aM proaching dawn. At any rati?, the vast’ experience of the whole human race has so thoroughly demon ’rated the greater value of early‘.e..vct?ing slum ber that it has become proverbial tp ray that two hours of" leep before midnight are worth four hours after. A man may sleep the same number of hours, be it eight or nine, but if he goes to bed at twelve or one o’clock and gets up at eight o? nine, then he does not feel rested or refreshed the same as he would if he went to bed at nine and arose at five or six in the morning. That tired, languid feeling, that weakening sense of lassitude, rhould show only too clearly that his l-.ody has not properly recuperated from the drains made upon it the day and the night before. And besides it is just as easy to shift the waking and sleeping hours ahead two or three hours, to go to bed some where near the end of the day and to .-•t up at the real beginning of the day. In my Encyclopedia of Physical Cul ture I point out that overwork is an iher fairly common form of dissipa tion, innocent though it may seem to devote oneself faithfully’ to "good .onest work." Overwork, however, • uch as those who are guilty of it may tndeavor to excuse it, is as futile as it disastrous in its consequences. One .my plead the pressure of necessity, I m at the same time- he fails to sec ■ '.•at in exceeding the normal limita -.cr.s of his expenditure of physical en '.;gy he is only defeating his own pur- se. Instead of recognizing that he ■ annot do good work if he labors in a . "idition of fag, instead of realizing • , it is best to accomplish just so ; rSective work each day and keeping it up day after day without ; jv failing of his strength, he con sumes himself in a short time trying t - double his productive power and t.scn finds himself in such a condition cf collapse ’hat he cannot do half of a normal day's work, perhaps cannot e.ven accomplish anything.
