Bpnstitutional Bments jA of the eight sAutional amend- Ato be voted on HB' general elec are of “vital Aneople of the • earnest consideration, and to cast their vote accordingly. The Chief Executive states that it is the duty of all Geor gians who will vote in the com ing general election, to be fully informed as to the "significance of the amendments” and that the newspapers of the State would render a most acceptable duty in giving full publicity to the proposed changes in the constitution. The amendments, which cov er various questions, are expect ed to bring in a heavy vote in the State, and it is urged that election officials in - the various counties throughout the State, make a quick tabulation of the votes in their districts and pre cincts in order that the returns may be compiled accurately and quickly during the day and night of the election. In his state ment the Governor says: ‘‘An amendment to the Con stitution involves a change in the fundamental law of the land. It follows, therefore, that any such proposition should receive the earnest consideration of ev every good citizen. “Some of the proposed amend ments to be voted on at the general election ar« of vital im- ' portance to the people of the State, and every effort should be made to inform them as to the full significance of the amend ment. “The press of Georgia will ren der a most acceptable service in giving full publicity to these proposed amendments.” The Times-Recorder recog nized its responsibility to its reading family before the Gov ernor spoke and arranged to have a series of articles prepared by an authority so that every man and woman in this section may know what each amend ment means, and thus come to a decision before election day. The first of this series of ex planatory articles, written by Ex-Senator Pace, will appear in Wednesday’s paper, 'and will deal with that amendment which gives the county the right to combine certain county offices. We do not believe the im portance of this series of articles can be over-estimated. And we know our readers will enjoy reading them. Not How Long, But How Useful Clover, claimed to be the old est horse in the world, soon has his fifty-first birthday. He is well cared for in his old age by his owner, a retired clergyman. In a stable at Catawissa, Pa., Clover has a double blanket and insulated stall, the finest of bran mash and oats —in short, everything to make him the en vy of less fortunate old horses. Jockey Club of New York pen sions him. The oldest horse in the world —only 51 years! “Clover’s a youngster,” will say the elephant, who usually lives to 150 or 200 years. Em phatic nods of approval from the parrot, eagle, tortoise, croco dile and raven—all of whom have a century as their life span. But Clover will be envied by the proud peacock, which lives only 24 years at most, about the same longevity as the toad. Beavers frequently live 50 years, lions 60, cats 18. But it’s a lucky horse that lasts 25 or 30 years, so Clover is a real ex ception. Scientisst should ex amine him, try to find out what has made him live so long. He is like a man living 200 years. Has Clover been a pampered loafer or a hard worker? In teresting to know. It might teach us something about our selves. Nature makes decided con trasts in periods of life allotted to various living things. Con trasted with the elephant’s longevity of 200 years are in sects which are born, mature, reproduce and die within 24 hours or less. Some trees live for thousands of years. There must be some definite purpose—some reason why all these various forms of life are included in nature’s plans. But it is difficult to understand why the useless parrot lives four times as long as the horse and almost twice as long as man. The average monkey, in his natural jungle state, lives 18 to 20 years. Man now lives an average of 56 years in our country. We are a healthy race, not far behind the New Zealanders. They are the long est-lived of all nations, round ing out 60 years on the average before death intervenes. In 1870, according to medical statisticians, Americans died at an average of 41 , compared with 56 now. Matured people, however, die about the same age as in the past. The AV ERAGE of human life has been raised chiefly by cutting down' anQong The Oil Lamp Just a little old holder that’s made out of glass and a top-piece that’s blown of the same. There once was the day when the oil lamp was class tut it’s passed, nowadays, out of the game. In years long ago grandma climb ed up stairs with the oil lamp clasp ed tight in her hand. She’d shadow her way’mind the flickers and glares, § Old Days In Americus TEN YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder. Oct. 7, 1914.) Americus hunters who have been camping upon the trail of the elusive marsupial report the crop, locally, as the best in years. As evidence of the plentitude of possums, W. M. Humber and R. A. Shy reported this morning a catch of fine ones last night, all of them picked up in the city limit on Muckalee creek. Si Ross bagged six, while L. L. Ivey single handed and alone, cla med title of five others. The city campaign for the nomi nation of mayor, three members of council, city clerk and two members of the police commission may now be considered “open” and a strenous one it will be no doubt. The execu tive committee consists of Messrs. C. C. Hawkins. W. J. Josey, E, D. Sheffield, Reese Horton, and Brow»l McLendon. The three retiring mem bers of the city council are Aider men H. B. Mashburn, T. C. Bell, and George Oliver. Mr. Olin S. Pace until recently of Dawson, has come to Americus to re side and will continue the practice of law here. King cotton had no friend in Americus this morning and the very few sales effected were at a drag ging pace around seven cents. Where there was a fair demand yes terday and the day before for fine cotton at 7 1-4 cents but this de mand was lacking today. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder. Oct. 7, 1904.) At 8 o’clock last night at ’he Coppedge residence on Brooklyn Heights, Miss Rubie Cannon and Mr. E. F. Hall were united in marriage. The rites were solemnized by Rev. R. L. Bivins, of Furlow Lawn church, In the presence of numerous friends who extended best wishes to the happy couple. Americus’ cotton receipts round ed opt 500 bales, even, yesterday the best for the week. Receipts today and tomorrow will be large. Americus buyers paid 9 3-4 cents during the morning, but later in the day 9 1-2 cents was paid. An Americus gunner who evi dently fears not a violation of the game laws when fat wild turkeys are in the game played for, came upon a big flock of turks in a corn field a few miles from town a duy or two ago. The drove a very large one, was feeding on shattered corn. Miss Annie Pickett, who recently bought the Butler farm just outside the city, will remodel the dwelling making it a pretty suburban home. Tim Allen, formerly of Americus but more recently of Alanta, has gone to Trenton, N. J. to be de partmental manager in a large store in that city. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder. Oct. 7, 1894.) Many kind words and pretty com pliments were heard yesterday of the pleasant parlor entertainment given by the ladies of the Episcopal church at the residence of Mrs. S. P. Boone. The queens of ail na tions were personated by Misses White, Anna Harrold, Nellis Pem berton, Bernadine Kimball, Charlie Wheatley and Amos Sschmpert. They made beautiful living pictures peering from artistic frames, robed as they were in the national colors of the queens of ye olden times. Lit tle Misses Glenn sang their sweetest songs. At last Americus and Albany have telephone communication. The line was completed yesterday to this city and just as soon as the long dis tance phones are received and put in, Americus folks can chat with their Albany cousins and vice versa, ad libitum. Several wagon loads of home raised hay, nicely packed in bales of 300 pounds each, were brought in from the country yesterday, and sold like hot cakes at a fair price. This a mover in the right direction. D.*TC. Brinson has accepted the position of bookkeeper at E. D. Ans leys parlor grocery, entering upon his duties there yesterday morning. One reason why young Stribling doesn’t fight oftener is that the calendar makers only put seven days in a week. • « • Young Teddy is following in his dad’s footsteps, and One-Punch O’Goofty hopes he gets a little far ther than young Bob Fitzsimmons did. one year as much actual living as our ancestors in several. Not, you live, buU how) THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER ' as the old folks will well understand At dusk, when the sunlight was fading away, the oil lamp would answer the need. It flared up and glared at the end of the day so that grandma and granddad could read. But now it is gone to the use-to be lands. More modern are lights that we know. So down in the cel lar the old oil lamp stands, just an echo of long, long ago. TIMES So far this year, railroads have handled, roughly, 32 cars of freight for every 34 cars in the correspond ing period of last year and 28 in 1922. Ttimes are gettin better, and the roads lately have been moving al most as much freight as a year ago. When freight moves on a big scale, business men are gettinr ready for heavy trading—general prosperity. • • • gain Our country’s exports to South America this year have averaged around 24 million dollars a month. It’s a very satisfactory gain over 1923. Unfortunately, South America has been selling us $27 worth of goods for every sl7 we sold them. It looks as if the books will balance 154 million dollars in South Ameri- i ca’s favor for the whole lear 1924. ♦ ♦ • COSTLY The three big political parties will spend 10 million dollars this year in electing a president, experts esti mate. There’s no way of figuring thd cost of the time and energy expend ed in arguments among voters and in the individual’s search for the right candidate to vote for. Ten million dollars, a lot of money. But it’s our cheapest form of education. The average voter wouldn’t know anything about poli tics, and not much more about eco nomics, if we didn’t have the situa tion thrown into the spotlight every four - years, and made interesting by its elemnt of contest. ♦ » • MURDERS Selected at random 146 American murders, Metropolitan Life Insur ance Company followed them up and found only dne execution. In 22 cases, the assailants committed sui cide. Out of 146, there were only 69 indictments. Thirty-two other cases were so-clled “justifiable ho micides”—such as self-defense. Thirty-five were sentenced to do time in penitentiaries. In a third of the cases, assilants still are at large. The police round ed up two-thirds, a good record—far better than can be claimed for the judicial system. * * • typewriters About 250,000 American-made typewriters a year are being sold to foreign countries. Not many When you consider the population of the cutside world and their average in ferior writing machines. Ours is the first country in which penmanship has become a lost art. We have a mechanical nation—and, so far, our civilization is nine-tenths mechanics. The artistic and spiritual and intellectual will com|a' later. Right now America is solving the problem of making a living easily. Once solved, our best brains will turn to so-called “higher pursuits.” BW/k fins A woman seldom makes dough like her husband’s mother did. And a man seldom makes dough like his wife’s father did. Nothing makes the other furni ture look worse than buying one new chair. The kitched stove is mightier than the can opener. An optirpist is a man who keeps the themometer in the ice box in summer and in the stove in winter. A pessimist is a man who keeps the thermometer in the stove in sum mer and in the ice box in winter. An opportunist is an old maid who keeps siik pajamas near to slip cn in case of fire. A money waster Is a girl who wears silk stockings without cross ing her knees. Game is the easiest thing on earth to find when you have no gun. When a man becomes disappoint ed in love it is usually because love is disappointed in him. I The leaves are dropping frol l the OUR BOARDING HOUSE By Ahern TOBACCO AJWOHEO WamF-vOu OEFEP \ .
