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.

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.

HANDICAPS USUALLY GIVE
The handless man writes and
paints better, the legless man walks

plays better music, and the blind

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.

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.”

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.)
