I EDITORIALS | Wasted Weeks One of the easiest methods of killing legislation not wanted by the “powers that be" in the Leg islature is to delay it until the latter part of the session, when it: then may be lost in the scram ble of the past few days, or re ferred to some committee con trolled wholly or in part by the Speaker of blouse. We wonder if that isn’t one of the reasons for most of the unnecessary delays we witness each year when the Legislature convenes. V/hen the Legislature passed the bi-ennial sessions bill it add ed ten days to the length of the session, changing it from 50 to 60 days. When the Legislature convened July 6 it had wasted this additional time which was provided to prevent a legislative jam on the last days of the ses sion. president Ennis of the Senate, had had his committees ready for some time. Speaker Neill delayed announcing his commit tees for two weeks. The delay on the part of the Speaker tied the hands of the Legislature for 14 days. During that time the State has paid her legislators in salaries somewhere around $30.- 000. Less than 40 days remain in which to transact the business of the State. I hree or four hundred bills have been thrown into the hopper. I hese had to wait on committee appointments- The rules fight in the House made it necessary for the speak er to get a line’ on every mem ber before he made appoint ments. Legislative jams are nec essary to the machine—owned and controlled by Brown, Hold er and Neill. The State may go to the devil, so long as the ma chaine has its way. Until Georgia’s 160 counties get down to business and send men of brain and courage to the Legislature and not political pin heads and machine-controlled there’s little hope of puli ng Georgia out of the mire of incompetence that is today shackling Georgia. The Safest Investment —and the Handiest Wh<xt is it, the safest invest ment that is most readily avail able to every man, woman and child ? . Huh, the savings bank ac count? You don’t call that an investment, do you? Most certainly and sprely it is, one of the very best. More fortunes have been built on lit tle savings accounts than on any other form of investing. Os course its yield is low, only 4 per cent interest in most towns and cities, but it’s safe. While it is building up, it is yielding a little income and it gives the in experienced investor all the time necessary to select higher yield ing investments that are trust v. oi thy. 1 o build up an income toward financial independence, don’t wildcat. Put a part of your earnings regularly into a savings account and then, while it grows, take your time to select honest, fair-yielding investment securi ties, bought of a dealer whom you know is absolutely honest < nd capable of judging securi ties. The greatest advantage of a savings account is not the fact that you have money in the bank, drawing 4 per cent, to be used tor emergencies, but what’s vast ly more valuable to you is that ■n ~Jding to the account you are SCHOOLING yourself to save. Saving is a habit—a good one but a habit nevertheless, jjist as spending is a habit. Open a savings account in one of the Sumter county banks. It will come in handy some time and it teaches you thrift. It is not so much the amount you make as it is the amount you save that will keep the wolf from the door and bring finan cial independence later on in life. Emergencies come to each of us times when ready cash I must be had. It may be the ad- ! vent of a new babe or the death 1 of a loved one; a fire or an acci- ; dent- What a comfort it is to know that in a safe place there are a few dollars, or a few’ hun dred-—to meet the unforseen.

Cicli. Eugene Debs Eugene Debs, Socialist leader, is to be honored at a huge mass meeting in Cleveland soon for his long service in the cause of labor. Debs may be mistaken in his views. But he possesses cour age and sincerity and has devot ed his life to an dieal. For this he deserves—at least, our respect. Baseball You are sometimes told that gold is diverting the attention of youth from baseball, and that the big leagues will lack players 20 years hence. But in every city there is a cry for more diamonds. Vacant lots are being laid out for ball fields as never before. It’s a safe bet that baseball 20 years from now will be as healthy and appealing as it ever was. I IW If you live in a part of the coun try where there are forests, this is the time of the year when you will want to go into them. This means that you should also want to take care of them. Don’t leave rubbish about your camp or picnic grounds which you would not leave around a perma nent home. Don’t pull up wild flowers by’ the roots, nor pick them to excess. Don’t pick rare ones at all. And, above all ,don’t run risks of fire. The forests is inflammable, it is not paved, and it has no city fire department. Throwing matches and cigaret butts around, city fashion, and leav ing a fire to go out of itself, are dangerous in the forests. Reverse yur city habits. Be sure that your camp fire is really out. Quench it with water, and then cov er it with earth. Legitimate use is depleting our forests fast enough. Don’t add the waste of fire. WHERE SENATOR REED MAKES A MISTAKE According to Senator Reed, the World Court would bo either an in ternational invertebrate or an inter national tyrant. Which is the Supreme Court of the United States? It has no power to enforce its de crees, and yet it is not invertebrate. It has jurisdiction to invalidate the laws of sovereign state's, and yet it is not a tyrant*. The World Court has no juridsjic tion over any state except as that state gives it to it. The United States has been the very pioneer in giving such jurisdic tion to an* international tribunal, and in accepting its decision, even when they’ are unwelcome. If you wish to argue that 'he per manent court of intern:’.;! nal • tice is not so good a tribunal as the Hague panel court, to whi Ji v • al ready belong, that argument, if any body makes it, would be entitled to a hearing. But if you argue against the World Court merely because it is an international tribunal, and you do not believe in such tribunals, that issues is' “res adjudicata.” Senator Reed will understand that legal phrase. It means that the case has already been decided and is no longer open to discussion. THE UN-AMERICAN OF OUR 100 PER CENTERS Besides, there is no issue ns to what the World Court “would” be. It “is.” America may’ go into it or stay out of it, but the court is there, eith er way! with jurisdiction over the re.’t of the world, accepted by it ns the final authority to detehmine the law of nations. We can, for the first time in our history, keep our own international cases out of international treatment , but we can not alter the fact that the principles governing all such cases will bo the ones laid down in other cases by’ this tribunal. By these principles we shall be judged at the bar of that “opinion of mankind” which We recognized »n the very act of our national birth. We have the physical force to de fy that opinion, but we have always preferred the attitude of “decent re spect” to it.

Wilson and cousin, Airs. Mary McLeod of Denver, who has visited her here in Americus for several weeks start today upon an extended trip throug the greaat west, going more than ten thousand miles. Mrs. James Walker, Miss Nunn, Miss 'Johnson and Miss Broadfield made up a congenial party spending yesterday at Andersonville. Frank Turpin who has been spend ing his vacation very delightfully in the Bluegrass State, came home yesterday. The Georgia peach crop so far from the lines of the Central of Georgia is approximately the same as last year. The crop amounts to approximately 900 cars this year, against a similar number last year. After a restful respite of two weeks, during Which time the sub ject of hog-pens, weeks, and ram pant bicycles running down terri fied citizens have had no plaace in their tired brain, the solons will come together tonight in bi-monthly session. Miss Elizabeth Hollis and Miss Marilu Ansley left yesterday upon a pleasant visit of some length to Griffin friends. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder, July 13, 1895.) Fidelity Lodge was organized here last night and following officers were elected: W. P. Burt, H. D. Watts, B. 11. Mayo, J. B. Dunn, J. S. McGarrah, F. S'. Lythe, J. B. Raiford, and Bascom Myrick. The sudden and very serious ill ness of Joe Brown yesterday morn ing was a matter of much concern to'the friends of the popular young man. Upon returning home from the store, to his breakfast he sud denly become unconscious from con gestion in which condition he re mained for several hours. While driving from Huntington picnic last evening Mr. James Walk er, accompanied by a young lady, met with a rather serious accident. Opposite the residence of Capt. C. 0., Clay -some unknown party rid ing horseback ran into Mr. Walk er’s buggy, throwing the occupants out and smashing the vehicle. A sale of the C. A. Bell farm of 350 acres in the Friendship district, was effected yesterday through Messrs. Bell and Cotney, of this city, Mr. John F. Daniel was the purchaser, and will convert the place inot a mode Istock farm. C. L. Hand, of Pelham, was in the World Court, proclaimed in the name of American tradition, is act ually a violation of that tradition. It is the most un-American thing our “hundred per cent Americans’’ have yet succeeded in doing. HANDICAPS USUALLY GIVE The handless man writes and paints better, the legless man walks and dances better, the deaf man plays better music, and the blind man finds his way about better than most o fthe unhandicapped. The best, assurance of a long life, Oliver Wendell Holmes said is to get an incurable disease. EXTRA BIT OF SKILL A boy who had lost both his hands takes the prize in penmanship. That is almost the rule. What one does against handicaps is generally done better than what one would normally do. Helen Kellar not only learned to write and speak, but to do it better than almost any ol' us, , v ' THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER Americus yesterday en route to Cin cinnati to superintend the sale of a large shipment from his vineyard, ; one car of 30,000 lbs going forward yesterday. j m 3) sims Procrastination was invented by a sink full of dirty dishes. Every young man dreads the time when he will become old and useful. • The modern girl who doesn’t kiss is dangerous. She is trying to get married. You must make your own way to really have. V omen are people who wish men. wouldn’t be so foolish. It is mistake ignorance for a good disposition. These are the days you are too sick to work and too well to stay home from going fishing. You couldn t say slapping a man on his sunburned back was striking him in the right way. Even if women do have more sense than men you never see a man with powder on his nose. Lose your temper and someone will help you find it. Blood is thicker than water, but heads are thicker than either. Being desperate may be the best luck you ever had. There are two side sto every ques tion, both of which very often are entirely wrong. A philosopher is one who realizes it doesn’t matter so much if he does get the wrong answer. With skirts so short, a mouse must think every woman sees him. Sometimes it is best to be sure you are right and then hesitate. CHEAP MONEY TO LEND X we always have money to lend on farm lands at lowest rates and best terms, and you will always save money by seeing us. We give the borrower the privilege of making payments on the principal at any interest period, stopping interest on such We also make loans on choice city property. Write or see R. C.

Dear Sir: Will you please pub lish the following for me: Every day I receive numerous letters ad dressed to me or to the Ku Klux : Klan, requesting that we look into , certain affairs and-aid in straighten i ing out others. Mpst of these let | tens are unsigned. Unsigned letters should not be i mailed. Unless the writer is will- I ang to sign his or her name the | letter should not be written and unless it is stopped I will have these letters printed in circular form and 1 and them out. Usually the writ er can be spotted, but it is a nui sance that I am tired of. Every letter written by the Ku Klux Klan bears the signature of the head of the klan in the county and the klan’s official seal and is written on official stationery. Let ters not so written are fraudulent and fakes. The klan wants to lawfully aid any one whenever and wherever it can. We are glad to have any one in Double write us, but they must s’C” their letters and give address. These letters are kept in confi dence. Communications should be addressed to Postoffice Box 67, Americus. I will appreciate your publishing this letter. Respectfully yours, JOHN A. WAGNON. Going broke is a short trip from any summer resort. The world changes in spite of those who refuse to believe it. Loafing around in the shade to keep cool makes you fat and hot. SKINNY MEN Thin Men Run Down Men Nervous Men You probably’ know that Cod Liver Oil is the greatest flesh pro ducer in the world. Because it contains more Vita mines than any food you can get. You’ll be glad to know that Cod Liver Oil comes in sugar coated tab lets now, so if you really want to put 10 or 20 pounds of solid healthy flesh on your bones and feel well and strong ask Nathan Murray or Howell’s Pharmacy or any druggist for a box of McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets. Only 60 cents for 60 tablets and if yotl don’t gain five pounds in 30 days your druggist will hand you back the money you paid for them. It isn’t anything unusual for a person to gain 10 pounds in 30 days. “Get McCoy’s, the original and genuine Cod Liver Oil Tablet.” (adv.) Leading a d.ouble life keeps you feeling funny in the middle. The way to a man’s heart is through his eyes and ears. New Method Eradicates Wrinkles LiJb Magic It has been found that a simple tarkroot mixture, spread over the entire face, acts almost magically upon even tha deepest wrinkles and crowsfeet. It produces the natural rejuvenating effect of massage, on ly to a more marked, degree. The danger of loosening the skin or muscles, as in unscientific or too frequent massaging, is eliminated, no rubbing being necesasry. On the other hand, the skin and un derlying tissues are so invigorated they become much firmer, and the skin’s texture is so changed it again assumes its original clear, soomth, velvety appearance. If you will procure a package of powdered tarkroot from your drug gist, mix a spoonful with a spoon ful of lemon juice, apply with the fingers, and sit down before your mirror, you will see the wrinkles and sags disappear, in less than 15 minutes! You will be amazed, to say the least. Tarkroot of course is perfectly harmless. And cer tainly it is inexpensive; a treatment costs less than three cents!—(adv.) MOTHER!

Even a fretful, peevish child loves the pleasant taste of “California Fig Syrup” and it never fails to open the bowls.
