EDITORI AL S Tourist Camps The average tourist automo bile which stops over a night spends $1 1.00, according to fig ures secured bv the statistical de partment oi one of the large uni versities. if 100 tourist automo biles were parked in Americus every night during the next 8 months we would receive in cash from them the sum of $250,000. In the Legion Tourist Lamp at Rome, Ga.. there were 5 5 automobiles with 160 persons dur ■ g last week and the season is 1 -t opening; 29 of the autos were headed for Florida and 26 in other directions, according to the Rome News, which says: The American Legion’s tourist camp has been rated 80 per cent of perfect by the American Auto mo' ile A- -ociation, which has list ed as on -of the best in the coun try. One thing lacking in the fa culties for tourists is a union kitchen, and tjais is being prepar ed th' wok. W h the addition of a large kitchen the camp will be raised again in its ranking. Baths, hot and cold water, elec tric light helter for cars, as-, .-bly plaC'e for tourists, and a perfect drainage and sewer sys tem make the camp one of the be.-1. in the country. One tourist stated to Mr. Carr Saturday that he heard of the Home camp before he was 50 miles out of Chicago, and that he was sending buck post cards to 7 fan ilii ■ in his neighborhood who were headed South on vacations telling them to stop hero when they come through Georgia. Many of the tourists declare the Rome < imp the best in the long : ouies they have traveled, and state that the fame of Rome is being carried over the country by automobiles, and the camp of the American Legion is doing it. Sumter county has many thou sands of acres of iaid-out land. 1 here are hundreds and thou sands of farmers coming South m search of good lands. If we had a tourist camp we could show these lands and sell some of these tourists. Two things at tiact auto tourists—good roads and good camp sites. •¥• # .f. Swat the Little Rascals— While the field hands haven’t much to do, Dr. J. W. Chambliss advises the farmers of the coun ty to drain the ponds near them and cut weeds about the house and barns, thus preventing cases of malaria on the farms. “If our farmers will get busy now, before picking cotton be gins,” said the chairman of the County Board of Health, “they can save themselves some sickness and greater expense. The ponds are dry and easily accessible, and a little ditching will drain these mosquito-breeding places. Now’s the best time to tackle that sort of work,,too. “The malarial mosquito is a peculiar little rascal when you know him and easily dealt with if you are familiar with his habits, in the first place, he bites at night and does not like to travel about in daytime. He wants a dark place to rest in during the day. Weeds about the house and the barn and in the fence corners are ideal places for him. Cut the weeds now and you destroy his hiding place and he either dies or goes back to the swamps. He surely pr-.ii'er-i a cool place tc live —cool and tiark. “Here’s another tip for our friends: The malarial mosquito gets in the house and during the day h p sticks close to the walls and ceiling. He doesn’t cling there like a fly but kinder stands on h<s head. , If you’ll look close you’ll find them sticking out fri m the walls at RIGHT AN GLES. You spot him easily if you look close. Now when you : id him. wat him quick. After you 1 about for a while he is “ i’he farnrers should call in their negro hands and give them a lesson on mosquitoe.-. Teach them to look about their homes for the mosquito and make them < it weeds about the house, barns and fence corners and watch their hog and chicken troughs. Don’t 1 t water accumulate anywh ue. “Stop the breeding plans and w eliminate the mosquito F.li-r.i ale the mosquito : nd we stop mftlaria. Eliminate malaria we save manpower, doctor’s BSTAIUSHID I«7» ■" A THOUGHT Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hollr where ! in the Son of Man cometh.—Mat- ' thew 25:13. Let death and exile, and all other | things which appear terrible be i daily before your eyes, but death I chiefly; and you will never enter -1 tain an abject thought, nor too I eagerly covet anything.-—Epictetus. bills and drug bills and have a more contented and happier com munity. “Tell th- farmers that now’s the lime to get busy. Dr. Payne and I are doing our b st to I'lp the community and we are receiv ing splendid support from the pt ople of the county and this we appreciate. “i, i s all pull together and eliminate malaria from our coun ty-” And this message from Dr. Chambliss and Dr. Payne is as important to those living in-iide the cities and towns, as to tnose on the farms. Even with screens, the mosquito occasion ally gets in. Look .bout the walls occasional iv and locate the mosquitoes INSIDE the house. Swat them and they can't infect the family at night. Bootleggers’ Union Veritably, this is the age of organization, unionizing and such. Even the bootleggers are organized, for, says the Chris tian Science Monitor— It appears, according to press reports, that there is some talk of reviving the bootleggers’ un ion in Chelsea, Mass. This organi zation for mutual benefit, exists in part, it seems, but of late has waned somewhat in influence through several causes. For one thing, it is said, the presence of a constant fund for legal protec tion of members for “fixing,” and other practices, has not been so imperative. But now we read that men in Chelsea on the inside of the liquor ring are up in arms over what they term the “rid-' . ing” of their friends by the fed eral agents out of the city and to East Cambridge jail for subse quent arraignment in the United States court in connection with the liquor clean-up. When the prohibition law .is not enforced, the liquor mon are loud in their complaints about the danger to the constitution. < tc., and when it is enforced, the bootleggers form a union! Evidently the Federal prohi agents have organized and hoisted the fees for ‘protection,’ and now the bootleggers are yelling because depressed busi ness conditions won’t warrant a higher overhead. EDITO RIALS j Rowil The British postmaster general, who is radio dictator, refused to permit the broadcasting of speeches by Lady Astor, and others, before the W. C. T. U., on the ground that the prohibition question was “too controversial; for broadcasting.” The question; yes. But the occa sion ; no. Who not apply the newspaper rule? A communication to the editor might well be rejected as offensive, controversial, or otherwise undesira ble if he succeeded in getting a large audience to listen to them, on an important occasion, would be news, and would be pritned without ques tion. The same rule is applicable to broadcasting. The individual propagandist, who wants to “get the air” for his indi vidual notions, must naturally be dealt with cautiously. But if these are the notions of an important or numerous group, who hold a meeting to proclaim them, that fact, rather than the views themselves, is a proper occasion for either broadcasting or newspaper mention. EVEN THE BIBLE HAS ITS HISTORY, TOO The anti-evolutionists may think it no disqualification to be ignorant of fossils. Their reliance is the Bible. Their most unfortunate handicap is that they are ignorant of the his tory of the Bible, too. For the Bible has a historv, vh. tb. ” '.lu . know it or not.

OTHER DAYS IN AMERICUS TEN YEARS AGO TODAY ; (From The Times-Recarder, July 30, 1915.) A party of fishermen on the C. L. Ansley plantation, near Ameri i cus, caught this, morning one of the largets alligators seen here recent ly and brought the old hog thief, securely tied and very much alive to town in a wagon. Mr. Kite, one i was the second alligator caught I there within a week. Americus’ third bale of the new cotton crop, receive dthis week, was marketed this morning at the Park ,er and Council warehouse. It was brought in by Mr. J. W. Methvin, a Sumter county farmer residing near Americus and weighted above .GOO pounds. Miss Foy Mott has come from Brunswick to spend several days with Mrs. W. P. Wallis in the city, her former home, anil will go next week with, a party of friends to Frisco. Samuel Heys, who is neither a candidate nor son of a candidate, i but a prophet of honor, notwith | standing won the hearts of the i Great Unfed at the courthouse this ; morning when he sliced’ an entire ! crop of watermelons for the enjoy | ment of his friends. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY i (From The Times-Recorder, July 30, 1905.) 1 Mr. Allison has received the plans I for the three story building to be erected on his Lamar street prop erty, but will not begin work for in various ways. I Much is known about these facts. 1 Even the doctrine of verbal inspira tion and literal infallibility has a history. No such claim is made in the Bible itself, for its books. It traces, back to the claim made for the Bible, by others. It is known when and by whom this claim was formulated, and what forms it has taken in various ages and places. All these things, the text itself, its interpretation, and doctrines about its authority, have a history. And the Fundamentalist leaders do not know that history. 1 If they did, they would not be so sure that their particular view, I among the many that the Christian world has held, is the only one en- ’ titled to be called Christian. i I WE COULD TAKE A ’ I HINT FROM GERMANY . | There are two ways of doing it. - The French want to make more ■ money out of American tourists. So ' there is a cry to increase the tourist tax and fees. The Germans have the same de- I sire. So they lower the passport ! fees and abolish all other charges. The French are moral and emo tjtional. They “feel” that it is ' i “right” to make the charge. The Germans are practical. Thej ) think that their way will get the • i money. It might be well for us if wo , |«Y>uld apply the practical rather ■ than the -v ‘ : or •’.! psy<' ’ .q-y . t’ s I larger matter of collecting our war II debts. .. , . T THE AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER ' Mr. D. Holmes came from Cor dele this morning to spend the day with Mrs. Holmes and little daugh j ter. Miss Dorothy Holmes, visitors ’! here. Up to this time the cotton fields about Americus have been free of ’ insects, but in one locality out in , the McGarrah neighborhood, a small spider is ruining acres of cotton. Leaves and stalks brought here yes- 1 terday bear testimony of this face. . i Millions of the tiny spiders infest 'the fields, stripping the stalks of .! foliage. , ! Mr. Philo Smith, for se-.eral years ! superintendent of the mechanical ; I department of the Americus com press, left yesterday for Maeon, ) where the company will use him in . a similar capacity, but with two large presses to look after. t , THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder, Julv , 30, 1895.) Tb.e second installment of immi . grants from the West who will set . tie in the Fitzgerald colony, in Wil glcox county, passed through Ameri . cus yesterday morning. The party consisted of a dozen people and were from South Dakota, having made the trip to Georgia in wagons. After a short rest they again took j l’p the dusty march for the land of promise. 3 After a pleasant stay of a few 2 days with relatives in this city, his . former home, Tim Allen left yester i- day- for Dawson where he will stop a day or two before returning to Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Harrold. Miss Elizabeth Harrold, Miss Lilia Johnson, Mr. Henry Johnson, Jr., returned home yesterday frpm a pleasant stay of two weeks at Ty hee. Bjsims l wo’s a couple.

No matter what he gives us, we will ask him, “Is that all?” And yet, what does it matter —more or less? We open first the missle that’s a message from a friend, or maybe from an out-of-town relation. We read the writing over from begnning to the end. ’Tis news about their summertime vacation. The balance of the letters hold their secrets tight within. We open them; our interest lags a bit.
