Why Negroes Emigrate High wages in the North is not the only reason for the negro Vni gration. It may be the chief in ducement, but before it really loom ed large in the mind of the negro there was discontent and fear in his heart. We believe that fear ha J caused more negroes to move North than economic conditions. We need the negro here in Sumter county just as badly as he needs us, and that i being true, it behooves us to do what ,we can to hold him here. We can he more lenient with him; we can afford to overlook many small infringements of the laws. There is entirely too much of this thing of throwing him into jail on the slightest pretext. As a race he is a child, likely to forget or neglect to live up to all the rules of the game. He should be reasoned with and admonished for his shortcon-fings, but frankly, this thing of snooping about the bushes (o see every little thing pos- 1 sibie is uncalled for and unneces sary. If we would hold him here to work our farms, in our homes and over our wash pots, then we must use a degree of caution and common sense. t The Times-Rccorder believes that every man should be made to»ob serve the law, whether white or black. It believes that the white man who makes liquor and v 'has liquor is just as dangerous to the community as the colored man, and ttofc’ believe -that THE SAME EF F’OHTjShould be made to GET the white h>an as the black. * Ahd here’s another thought fo.f you mdh who are dependent on ne gro labor, particularly out on the farms One of the principal planks in. the platform of the klan i» “ANTI NEGRO.” It is true that there are as many klansmen in 4he North as in the SOUTH, but the negro does not know that. He does know there are klansmen here, wearing masks hhd hoods and he is going North to i'et away from them. men of the farms are importuned to cast your lot with the klan, remember the klan is partly responsible for negro migra tion. ’Spring is only a few months away. We must produce a big crop and a profitable crop in Sumter county in 1924, and to do this we mutt have LABOR. NOW—today—is the time to be gin to corral that labor and the suggestions in this editorial if fol lowed will help to maintain an ade quate supply of labor in Sumter. Pocket Book News As 1923 draws to a close, do you realize that the railroads have handled more freight traffic this year than in any year of the past? It’s an achievement in transporta tion. A weathervane of what lies ahead in the way of prosperity. * When the railroads are hauling record-breaking amounts of freight it’s obvious that business rogn are stocking up for a continuation of active business conditions. ?! Mer * chants are replenishing stocks of goods, expecting future buyers. Wholesalers and jobbers are stock ing heavily, expecting demand* from retailers. Mills and factories are stocking raw materials expecting or ders from distributors. So it goes, all the May from autos to building materials. Each carload of freight repre sents future business in the mak ing. The exact number of freight cars loaded and moved by all the rad roads combined will not be known 1 until about the middle of January. But traffic experts predict that freight movement will total more than 50 million cars, break ing all former records. More than 46 million cars had been loaded and moved up to Dec. 1. This was , about six and a half million cars • more than in the corresponding 11 months of 1922 and about 10 mil lion cars more than in the first 11 months of 1921. housewives, forever lugging heqvy market baskets, often ponder what a huge amount of fodd it takes to,feed a family. Ever stop to reflect how much of other mate rials have to be moved about the country? A freight movement of 50 illipn cars a year means that ::1- moat half a freight car of m . s has to be moved in a year for < - ery man, woan and child in the country. That doesn’t include the tremen dous amounts by mo to* Vehicles.. , j o» I . ] OPINIONS OF ■ OTHER EDITORS COBURN’S SLAYER If you have any doubt about the type of man that is now on trial as the slayer of Attorney Coburn in Atlanta, read the fol lowing excerpt from the evidence of a woman Fox was said to have bcCn ‘in the habit of visit ing. It refers to Fox: He said he knew my game and threw a wad of,about S3O in bills to me. I told him I didn’t want his money but on ly wanted him to get out-He said that he Was paying for the room and would not leave. He said, ‘you may na£ be a Ku .Kiux, but I am. I could ' press a button and have a hun dred men. What it takes to kill you believe me I’ve got it in my gang.’ Then he said that • he didn’t need a gun but would crush me in his hands. And here is what an officer said about him: This man acted likee_ he was crazy, didn’t he? Cross examining Officer Tug gle, Attorney Dorsey said: No, he acted like a wild drunk man, hard-boiled, was the reply. He admitted that at tile time he had remarked tha; Fox. was either ‘drunk or crazy.’ And this is but a sample of what really came out of the evi dence. It reveals—whafr it re* veals. People everywhere ex pected that such yould come when the case went o ntrial. Tirt-.t’a the explanation for the Coburn murder—for the trial of Fox. The evidence of the wo man shows it. Go back and. read what she'said he told her, about pressing the button. , »That has been a general com plaint against the klan in Geor gia. The rough neck, lawless ele ,ment can prove a menace when given organized encoyagement. —Cordele Dispatch. KISSING THE COW A doetor informs the Colum bus Enquirer-Sun that it is not unusual for a patient recovering from an operation to want to kiss the 'hurse.

The foskil of a whale’s rib, already an; cient when Jonah was a boy, has convinced sicentists that Southern California was at the bottom or the ocean not more than 8,000,000 years ago, according to statements made by Dr. David Starr Jordan and others of a party paleontolo gists who investigated extensive fossil deposits in Trabuco Canyon, southeast of here. Dr. A. J. Trege, conch'ologist of the Los Angeles Museum, one of the party, found the fossil rib on a bluff above the canyon. He placed it in the Miocene period, the time of 3- : toed horse and other mammals ex- Itinct between 5,000,000 and 8,000,- I 000 years ago. Nearby the scien - lists found distinct evidences of three former shore lines. F- ’d' .; the whale’-s rib, members ;of the party picked up fossils of | sharks’ teeth and sea sheels they i said were hundreds of thousands of | years old.

In honor - of the many fair w.si tOMK in the City , the Americus Club will give an elegant Christmas ger man this morning led by Mr. R. E. Lee with Miss Annie Sorrell, of Texas, The cotillion this evening at the Hotel Windsor wilt likewise be an enjoyable occasion and both will be largly attended. Hundreds of bales of cotton have been sold here 'recently at 12 1-2 cents to 12 3-4 cents, and there are other hundreds to go at the new figure, 13 cents. Col. IJugh M. Brown, (Pete, our Pete) is coming today for Christ mas. Now strike the lute, Louis and let the gewhang sound. Mr. D. Holmes comes over from Cordele today to spend Christmas with Mrs. Holmes, the guests bf Col. and Mrs. .1. C. Roney. Col. and Mrs. W. T. Lane and young sons left yesterday for Shell man to spend the holidays at the home of Judge and Mrs. R. F. Crittendon. Miss* Josie Jordan, one of Amer icus 1 prettiest young I ladies, left yesterday for Fort Valley to spend the holiday season. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From the Times-Recorder. Dec. 26, J 893.) Mr. C. C. Clay is on the war path after a bold thief who stole WHAT’S GOING ON Chief Events of The Week Briefly Told Deadlock in Congress—Rebellion in Mexico—Politics in England IN THE WORLD By CHARLES P. STEWART The White House announces America’s willingness to be repre sented—unofficially on interna tional committees to get. Germany's expenses down to, or below her in come ; to put German money on a basis where it Will mean something as ffioney; to learn the amount of German investments in foreign countries. This is planned as a step towara learning what Germany can pay— principally to France. Each time such an investigation has been proposed 1 before, at the last minute France has said she wouldn't agree to th(* investigator’s report unless it suited htar. And each tim.'this has happened; Ameri ca has said she wouldn’t have a hand ip it then. No such difficulty has come up this tiipe—not yet. • * » DEALOCK IN CONGRESS Week before last the “progres sive bloc” wouldn’t let the Repub licans elect a speaker of the House of Representatives until they agree to change the Hodse rules to suit the “bloc.” Last week the “pro gressives” tied up the Senate over the question of-the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Commit tee. This committee shapes railroad legislation, so it’s very important. Senator Cummins has been com mittee chairman, but now he’si pres ident of the Senate, Vice President Coolidge having moved on up to the White House. However, he still wants that chairmanshipi On the other hand, Senator La Follette, “progressive” leaders leader, wants it, saying Cummins isn’t entitled to both job% , The “progressives” hold the ‘bal ance of power” between Republi cans and Democrats, in "the sen ate as well as the House. They can’t do anything themselves but they can keep anybpdy else from doing anything. So at present Con gress is deadlocked. ♦ « # REBELLION IN MEXICO ( The rebellion against President Obregon by those who want Adolfo de la Huerta for next president of Mexico hasn’t been squelched yet. Instead the “Huertistas” appear to have gained ground, and the •'Obrc gonistas” are not reported putting up much of a fight thus far, which is a surprise. All indications are that De la Huerta represents the big old-time land interests and great investors. Through Obregon’s term expires soon, the "Huertistas” say he’ll manage to get another man elect-' ed who favors the mass of the peo ple (of coursd-’they don’t express it quite like this) if he’s allowed to finish it. London and Paris cables say the English and I* rench will expect America to interfere to protect their Mexican investments if the re bellion endangers them. • *♦ ♦ Politics in ENGLAND. Stanley Baldwin has decided to hang on awhile as English premier. He thought of resigning right after the recent election. True, the Con servatives (this party) got niore than either the Laborites or Liberals, but between them they got more than the Conservatives. Then it came out that, if Bald- THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER three mules from his lot on Felder street one night last week. At tHe time Mr. Clay supposed that the mules had strayed from his lot, but on yesterday secured proof pos itive that they were stolen. Mr. Lester Williams presented a number of his friends with hand some Christmas souvenir editions of The Amusement Globe. The. book in beautifully illustrated and highly interesting. The ‘“At Home 1 ’ club will be en tertained on Friday evening, De cember 29, by Mrs. W. E. Haw kins at the residence of Gol. E. A. Hawkins, on Church street. The list is now ready at the home of the president. Miss Florrie Watts w’ho has been the guest of Mis. L. D. Lockhart daring the past week or two, left yesterday for home in Cuthbert. . A whole body of pretty school girls left Americus yesterday for Milledgeville to resume their studies at the Girl’s ....ormal and Industrial Institute. Among the number were Misses Maggie' Dunn, Inez Felder. .Camille Derrick, Lillie McGarrah, Miss Davidson and Miss Ferguson, of DeSoto. Whit Smith who has been hold ing forth in Kassas for the past several months is expected home to day for a Whorl rest from his la bors. ten years ago TObAY Monday, no paper published. win quit, King George would givo the premiership to Ramsay Mac- Donald, Labor leader, since the La "borites are the strongest party af ter the Conservatives. Rather than have a Labor pre mier, it seems the Liberals will help the Conservatives on routine govern ment questions. So Baldwin will try it for awhile anyway. Os course, under this partnership arrange ment, such policies will have to be “passed up” as Conservatives and Liberals can’t agree on. PICTURE MACHINES DOOMED IN SAVANNAH SAVANNAH, Dee. 26. —Agents for “picture games” approached tile chief of police of this city recently for permission to install, the devices in several local, business houses but were refuse!}. However the games were installed anyway contrary to orders and the business houses oper ating them are now facing gamb ling charges. The games are oper ated by putting a coin in a slot and ptilling a cord, a picture coming cut ,of the box containing a number which if lucky contains a prize. Chief Hendry called the machines “straight gambling” defices in violation of city and state laws in giving his refusal to allow them to operate in the city. ABRAHAM FAINTS AS ACCOUNT PROBE IS ASKED NEW YORK, Dec. 26. —A “lens ter landlord” is one who rents a tenement for a long term and then gets all the gent her can while mak ing the fewest possible repairs. New York came to know them only too wail during the jiousing shortage when rents were pyramided from Week to week. Abraham Levy was described as a “leaster landlord” in a court suit Thursday. Suddenly there came a demand for his account-books, to show the profits he had made. "Ee-oop,” said Mr. Levy. It was a sound of despair and expiration. It was followed by a soggy thumin as he fell from the witness chair to the floor in a swoon. Rather than submit to examina tion of the books, Levy’s counsel accepted lan adverse judgment in the suit. Then Mr. Levy revived. RAILROAD SCHEDULES Arrival and Departure of Passenge; Trains, 1 AmericuS, Ga. Central of Georgia Ry.

BEHNAHR MACFAODEM' X - Above the doors of many writers on health subjects should hang the legend, "Do not dy as I do, but do as I say,” because they allow their pens to do al) the exercising. There is nothing like first-hand in formation based on actual experience to enable one to write convincingly. Hence, I may be pardoned if 1 cits my i own case in advising others to do as I do. It is not necessary that they walk as many miles before breakfast as 1 •io,-nor that they walk barefoot, but if they do so, they will feel much better. I live in the Summer and Fall ir. West Nyack, New York. It is about eighteen miles to New York. City. Nearly every day I arise while it is still start walking to the city. I do not eat anything before starting nor while on ■ the road. " Now many of my readers who jump out of bed, at the last moment, gulp a hurried breakfast, dash for the rsfice byway of a crowded trolley car, or subway, will say that they would fol low my example if they had nothing else to do, but that they must work for a living and do not have the time to take long walks. Perhaps they will feel more like taking them if they real ize that I also have to work for a liv ing. Now when people call on me and see the Macfadden Building, extending a whole block on Broadway, and the busy scene in the editorial offices they think how\fortunate I am to enjoy such prosperity, but I pjish to let you into a secret. My happiest moments are when I am swinging along the country road mile after mile, barefooted, with the sun just coming up and inhaling the fresh September air with the tonic tang of Fall in it. Thers are moments then, when with my lungs filled with oxygen, my blood pulsating through my veins, with every nerve and fibre of s my being alive with the sheer joy of living, that I experience a delicious ex altation that can never come from the mere possession of worldly goods. ‘ Automobiles whirl by me, their occu pants gazing curiously and sometimes . pityingly at the dust-stained, barehead ed and barefooted wayfarer. Little do 1 the occupants realize that my two sev en passenger cars are resting in my I garage-by choice and that their owner , is voluntarily communing with nature. Every minute of the day is crowded with business details. As President and Editor-in-Chief of Macfadden 1 Publications, Inc., I get ojtt eight-mag azines. There are just a thousand and one details to be attended to during the day from writing editorials, read ing all accepted manuscripts to taking up with our department heads* plans for extending our Vast publishing bus iness. ® I know that I could not keep up this exhausting grind year after year, did I not keep my body in con dition. / MITCHELL MAY SOQN SELL BIG BOND ISSUE CAMILLA, Dec. 26.—The coun ty bond question of Mitchell coun ty still commands the interest of a large number of the county’s* citi zens, as it has for the last sever al years. In 1910 the question oL selling $400,000 worth of road im provement bonds was submitted to the voters of Mitchell county and by the voters then authorized. On account of the high cost of mater ial the prices of everything having been inflated following an abnor mal period very greatly influenced by the World War, the county com missioners decided not to sell the bonds, \ The question of selling came up at several ♦ meetings of the board, and at one time a sale was about made, but was recalled on account of difference of opinion as to the price to be obtained. 1 ■ 'I If Back Hurts glush Kidneys Drink Plenty of Water and Take Glass of Salts Before Break fast Occasionally When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract.
