G«> Bld*., Chlc«,<>; Wilton Buildint- Atlanta. editorials The Best Thing a Don key Does Is Kick and Bray Stop CUSSING Florida and BOOST Georgia, one of the At lanta dailies recently advised, saying that practically every man who goes to Florida must pass I 1 IRU Georgia. That s good advice, for all of us are guilty occasionally of knocking our sister state to the south of us. Ihe most ignorant salesman in, the world knows that to knock his competitor is bad • business-’’ People are going to Florida for several reasons, among them is climate and scenery, but MON EY is going into Florida be cause that state has saner laws than some other. The Georgia Legislature can do nothing better than listen to those who know the reasons for statewide advancement in invest ed capital and industry. We will have to stop being so selfish and so suspicious. We must stop confiscating property from the prosperous. Rather we should encourage every one with money to come here and invest it and make just as much as they may legitimately accumulate, without the harrying of unjust and ex orbitant taxes of different kinds. There is a great cry over the state to advertise Georgia. Be fore you can advertise an article, and sell it sucessfully, you must know that that article is RIGI IT. Before we begin advertising Georgia we should repeal some of our laws- Georgia is not in terested particularly in the over night tourists. They are splen did folk to have, hut what Geor gia needs most is INVESTORS •—men with money to come into the state and develop her unde veloped industrial possibilities, turning her raw materials into finished products. And money is the most ‘Teary" substance in the W’orld. We need thousands of farm ers on our laid-out lands, agri culturalists who will buy our lands and work them. Men with millions have their eyes on Georgia. They are ready to come when we are ready to receive them. This is borne out by the following from the Brunswick News: At least one millionaire is not boosting the realty values of the state to the south of us. In an in- Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., : tated that Atlanta’s realty was she best to buy in Dixie. Atlan ta has staged no such bus-bally hoo booms as the towns in Florida to stimulatapthe sale of her realty, yet been a steady and consistincrease in values in and around Atlanta, even when new amt, large subdivisions are being constantly thrown on the market. Vanderbilt spoke of “fly-by night” localities and stated that the real estate boom in Florida would reach its peak of specula tion during the coining winter. This has been the opinion of many others, and while Mr. Van derbilt'might have just been com plimenting and encouraging Geor gians, there is a deal of truth in his prdS#e of the consistent ann steady ’growth in real estate val ues. The actual worth of realty is reflected in the sail. in Georgia, while the speculative value is evidenced by the I act that hun dreds of thousand of lots have doubtless been sold in Florida which will never be improved. We expect confidently that Mr. Vanderbilt’s estimate of the tre mendous possibilities of Georgia will get to the world at large, and that his prediction that north ern manuf.i-turer are .--ui’e to be come interested as they realize the advantages in clmiate and la bor that Atlanta and Geargia have to offer. While there is a state-wide nspectGo this question of get ting rebel for outs.de people and foreign capital, there w also a person^].licit to the question.

The insignificant, the empty, is usuall ythe loud; and after the manner of a drum, is louder even because of its emptiness.—Carlyle, poet others to think well of us. Go where you will in Florida and you will hnd a Florida booster. Every man, woman and child believes in b lorida—and tells you so. At the railroad station in a Florida town is this sign: If you don’t believe in Blank ville, remember there are 15 trains leaving here every day. An Americus physician stop ped in a cross-roads Florida town the other day for gasoline- A little boy came out to fill his tank. What s your business’” asked the boy. 1 m an auto mobile salesman, jokingly an swered the doctor. Well, there s the finest opening in the world right here for an auto man, said the boy. J was joking, son, 1 m a doctor,” re plied the physician. The little came back in a_ hurry, I hat s all right, we sure do need ,a good doctor around here." I here s a valuable point in the above for Georgia and Americus. If we can see it and practice the logic of the little boy, both the state and this city will in time enjoy a measure of prosperity never before known. We must believe in Georgia and in Americus before we can reasonably expect others to be lieve in us. Don’t forget that about the i- t i/ t ., thing a donkey does is KICK and BRAY. Many people who went.to school can’t prove it. Electric lights last longer if kept in the dark. editorials | f wnj Human intelligence is not the only sort. Chimpanzees, subjected to hum.in intelligence tests, show definitely human thinking, but a very low grade of it. A man with as little intelligence could scarcely take care of himself, while the apes take care of them selves, in their native environment, very well indeed. The reason, of course, is that in acquiring a little human intellig ence, they have also retained a large measure of that animal intelligence which man has mostly lost. Going lower down the scale, the monkeys have only a little human intelligence, and most of the ani mals practically none. A man with as little human in telligence as a squirrel would be a low-grade idiot, completely helpless. The squirrel, on the contrary, is a very capable and indei nilenl crea ture. And the bee, maintaining a com plex social organization and n.crt ing dififcult problems with fore sight and skill, has, by all tests, no human intelligence at al! . We stand at the summit of crea tion, in our particular sort of in telligence, and it is no doubt the highest sort. But it is not the only sort, and in gaining much of it, wt have also lost much of something else. WHY LADD’S DEATH IS BLOW TO LIBERALS In the death of Senator Ladd, the insurgent movement lost ver\ much more than his individual vote -—though that, on the present line up, is serious enough. Senator Ladd, though cori’rg from North Dakota, the wry center of the e.xtreniest Townley radical ism, was himself an educated, steady headed, .practical man, who con tributed an element of stability which the movement greatly needed. He was a college professor, who bdievi’d that the economic situa tion of the farmers of his state justi fied the government going into busi n. s enterprises to help them. In ,this sense, he was a radical. But be would not have beet capa ble of the rash finan.ial pyramiding of Townleyism, which finally brought its own jnsi.itutiyni t oppling pp its head.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder, Jul; 6, 1905.) A farmer here, it is said, sold hi entire cotton cron yesterday for U and 1-2 cents to be delivered in th fall. Any decline holds no terror for him. Mrs. Emmett L. Murray and chil dren are. spending some time wifi relatives in Thomaston. Misses Maggie and Yonah Bu: hanan have returned home from : pleasant visit of a few days 1i friends in Dawson, A rather unfavorable change b the condition of Mr. James A. Dav i an's cnly unpardonable sin, by bolt ing the ticket, of course he hi: 1 to be uxeommunicated; but 1,.., course in the senate itself h id aroiked no personal hostility. He contributed to .Ze insurgent movement, not the brdbar-t. magnet ism of La Follette, but a sanity.and soundness which it vit >’ly needed. His succes.or is likely to he I’ihcr less representative or le-.i sound than he was. Either way, his lo s w:il be felt, by the nation as w.’il as I; the ag rarian movement. KELLOGG’S RESULTS ARE GOOD, ANYHOW Perhaps it was only a coincidence, but Secretary Kellogg’s tart state ment and President Calles’ saucy re ply were jlromptly followed by ex actly the steps which Calles said it was none of our business whether he took or not. The Mexican budget is balanced; provision is made to meet foreign engagements, and $50,000,000 in bonds are authorized, to pay for land taken by the agrarians. df these bonds have good security —the best security would be the land itself—the question is settled, so far as the action of the central government can go. | And it would not be a rash guess that Secretary Kellogg’s insistence bad something to do with hasten ing it. I DEMOCRACY, EVEN IF ALL ARE NOT EQUAL Twenty-six privates in the army Lire admitted to West Point, to be educated as officers. That is true democracy; though not the sort that would satisfy the political demagogue, in civil life. It is a priilege, not for all the privates, hut for the few with excep tional ability and energy. All have equal opportunity to get it, on the' same terms, but it is known that these are terms which only a few can meet. These few must have received, or had the energy to give themselves, unusual education, and they must satisfy unusual tests of natural abil ity. This recognition that men are not by nature equal, and that the pro gress of all depends n’ostly on the accojuplishments of the few best us them, is really democratic, But not all us those Uho prate of democracy dare confess iK THF AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER ’ enport who !■ is been ill with ty phoid fever for six weeks, was re ported yesterday.

Sunday’s Times-Recorder briefly mentioned the fact that a double wedding of interest to many in Am ericus would take place very soon. Every one was on the qui vive to learn who the high contracting par ties wore and when early in the j afternoon two dashing teams turn ed into the road leading to Smith ville, the mystery' was so’ved. One buggy was occupied by Mr. Fred Sawyer and Miss Eula L. Brooks, while in the other vehicle were Mr. Joe Brown and Miss Minnie Hor ton of this city. The first sweet potatoes of the new crop were brought to market yesterday and were readily swapped at three silver quarters per bushel. The crop will he immense this year. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Britton re turned home last night from Indian Springs, where the£ have been for the past two weeks the guests of relatives. W. D. Haynes received a tele gram yesterday morning announc ing the marriage of his son, Will Haynes, to a Miss Abbott, of La Fayette, La., where the happy groom-has been living for the past year or two. Mr. Haynes was rear ed in Americus, and many friends here will congratulate him upon his good fortune. A summer resort is a place where mosquitoes start in just where the flies leave off.

The one sate preventive is to build up baby s strength and vitality to go through these hot weather ailments. ‘■When my baby began teething ho was cross and did not sleep good,’ writes Mrs. Sam Millsapp. of Dalton, Ga. “Baby’s cry was pitiful and lie was restless. When Dr. Moffett s Teethlna was recommended I am happy to say it did loads of good. Now Baby is well and happy as you please. I certainly recommend Teethina to all mothers as I don t see how they could bring a baby up without it.” Teethina is a baby doctor's pre scription. It costs only 30c at all leading druggists’, yet millions of mothers know its priceless value in keeping babies well. T7T> T?T7I SEND FOR USEFUL VXVIjjDI Booklet About Babies C. J.

We’ve cleaned the yard and cellar till we’ve had them locking fit. The role I’ve played is stellar—Now I’m slumped, 1 must admit. Will someone kindly tell me how you iron the weekly clothes. The task, by choice, befell me and it stuck me, good ness knows. I thought ’twculd be surprising if I laid them on the shelf, but new I’m realizing that I just surprised myself. The sheels rad pillow cases were a simple job to do. 1 ironed and left no traces of a burned spot showing through. In fact, the bulk of flat work is an easy task for men. But, try to iren the fancies. Wow! That’s something else again. the little frills and laces that I found on daughter’s dress, were sewed in funny places and I ironed them out—a mess. I’ll gladly do the dishes, but at ironing—ne’er again. Will someone tell the missus, that’s no job for grown-up men. WASIMS By the time you find the needle in the haystack it is rusty and use less. Man’ a man keeps his nose to the grindstone so his wife can turn her’s up at the neighbors. He who plays the horses may find he is the victim of horse play. : Lots of lips just made to kiss arc ' made over again just after. A dictionary is what you use when . you can’t think of what to use in place of a word you can’t spell. You ca nalways spot a man who ■ drinks coffee out of a saucer be ' cause he spots himself. An honest man frequently finds ’ occasion to call himself a liar. i Many a father can’t be stylish be cause his grown son doesn’t wear out his clothes quick enough. When ama n goes to the dogs many of his friends bark at him. Tint young people of today are laizy chiefly because they are the young people of last night.
