EDITORIALS Prosperity In Macon Pictured 3he Macon Telegraph issued this week a 14-page Prosperity Edition, filled with the Central City’s march forward. Among the high lights pictured ll erein were these. Bibb county is planning the erection of four public institu tions—a new alms home, tuber culosis sanitarium, a quarantine station and probably new con vict camp buildings—at a total Cost of $200,000. There are forty-five school buildings, many of them hand some brick structures built ac cording to the most modern meth od-. A number of the small country schools have been con solidated. There fire 330 teach ers employed, who receive sala ries totaling $368,739 a year. The newest addition to the city’s attractions will be the $500,000 tourist hotel for which a charter has been applied for. The entire stock was taken by Macon business and professional men. Macon’.- Chamber of Commerce has emerged from a position of semr-obscurity. From a former working budget of $16,500, the body i. now able to take its place in the vanguard of Southern cit ies with annual budget of more than $50,000. , Macon prosperity is on a sound basis and its citizens predict a city- of 100,000 within a few years. Magon’s bank deposits’ set a high record, with between $27,- 000,000 and $30,000,000 on de posit, and $8,000,000 in savings accounts. Times are more prosperous and merchants' are buying larger Stocks /or the tall trad.- than at any time since the World War, according to the Macon offices of Bradstreet & Company and R. G. Dunn & Company. Since 1919 forty-one miles of roads have been paved in Bibb county on a $700,000 bond issue set aside in that year. This now makes 72 miles of paving within the county, thirty-one mlies of pavement in the streets of Ma con, bringing the total to this figure. Wesleyan college, the oldest chartered woman-5 college in America, had 616 pupils enrolled the past year, with 60 officers and teachers, and now has a.i en dowment fund in excess of a half million dollars. A site for a new college plant has been pur chased consisting of 132 acres. The plans for rhe new buildings on this site call fur an expendi ture of $1,009,000. With thirty-nine students, two professors and two log cabins, Mercer University opened on Jan. 14, 1833, at Penfield, Ga. With 1,135 students, 81 faculty mem bers, and 45 buildings, Mercer opened its ninety-second year on Sept. 21, 1924, at Macon. Macon has nine civic clubs—Ro tary, Kiwan.is, Lions, Civitans, Exchange, Pilots, a Junior Cham ber of Commerce besides Chamber of Commerce. Reflecting the rapid growth ami progress of Macon, as well as its properity, are its railroads, which operate daily over eighty ptissengi r trains in and out of the city, bringing annually thous and of visitors here. Further re flecting the prosperity and prog ress is the increased freight traf fic handled by them, which in the past ten years has nearly doubled. This is but a barometer for what the future holds. Here is lo cated the plant of the Central of Georgia which employs about 2,- 500 workmen. The Southern railwa y has also located here a shop employing a large force. The Macon, Dublin & Savannah employs about 80 Macon people in their shops here. The month ly payroll of all shops combined amounts to about $275,000. One ; - ite plant in the city product now 100,000 cross ties each month, it output doubling in the pa-t three months. Although there were some huge building contracts let la. t year, indications are that this year’s building activities in M’-con will equal, if not exceed the record of the previous year. Last year there were 1,561 permits i:--wd for construction work costing $1,762,649, while for one year of 1923 tie r were 2,064 permits issued' for work costing $1,502,- 883.

A THOUGHT ~ I have no greater joy than to fear that my children walk in truth —John Ill: 1, 4. ♦ * * God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please, and you can never have both. —Emerson. • an increase of $1,306,390 in tne value of th” m.-.nufm’iuri'd prod ucts from Macon’s : eventy-fivc plants was shown over the pre vious year. 'J he total for the record year of 1921 was $26,- 504.744. Macon’s waterworks system is being kept well ahead of the growth of the city, a necessary thing to do, engineers say. Following the building of a 3,- 000,000 gallon reservoir on See on street, excavation for which is now under way, and possibly before this is completed there will be a new battery of boilers pur chased for the pumping station at Riverside. When Macon's million dollar auditorium is turned over to the cily this fall, turnkey job, th..-, city will have the finest building of the kind in the Southeast and in fact one of the best in the country. It is already attracting attention throughout the country and several architects and ar tists have been here during the last two' weeks to inspect the building and get ideas. With liberal space for aisles and with no effort at crowding, the audi torium will have a seating ca pacity if 2,900 on the main floor and 1,1000 in the balcony, a lotal of 4,000 persons. And should occasion arise this .eating ca pacity could be easily increased with temporary chairs. Macon has two splendid daily papers, The Telegraph and The News, both ably edited and eternally fight for those things which build well-rounded pro gressive cities. The story of Macon, to a greater or lesser degree, is the story of every progressive city in Georgia. There may be those who have lost faith in theii State, but the more we go into actual figures, the clearer it be comes that Georgia has entered period of great prosperity EDIT ORIALS ; < S. ' aS SOW'i’ll; Albert P. Taylor, librarian of the archives of Hawaii, writes to the papers asking the kamaainas for in formation whether the original lo cation of the royal tombs on the palace grounds was on the present I site of a hibiscus lei, or a trifle j Ewa and a bit mauka of that spot. I An old photograph, he says, shows a wall on the Waikiki and Kawaia hao sides. This is the English language, as ""spoken ami vVritten in Hawaii. No body thinks of it as foreigii. After the luau on the lanai is pan, the kamaaina host apologizes for so much pilikia, especially to a malihine. Noticing j a mystified look, he adds another apology for his hapahaole speech. On Kamehameha day, the hale a na alij lead the procession. And so on. This process, in Hawaii, is doubt less finished. With the diminishing numbers and increasing Americani zation of the native Hawaiians, no more Hawaiian words are likely to be added to the language. Even some now used may be dropped. For instance, “humuhumunukun. ukuawapaaa” is a rather formidable name for a very small fish. But if English once becomes tire “universal language” which seems to be its destiny, whqt will happen to it in other far countries? Will it break up into new languages, as Latin did into Italian, Spanish and French? , Or, if modern fluidity of travel and education prevent that, will it acquire a large vo<:i+»u’ary in each country which is not used, or per haps even known, in the others? Already this is beginning to hap pen in the colloquial speech of Eng land and America, and to a smaller extent in the written language. Ami the orient ami the antipodes have their own variations. “Tiffin” means luncheon and “ ; -r> 1 ,wn” means warehouse, all over - or backwoods, in Australasia. the orient, while “bush” means for- In Apia it is perfectly intelligible English tn lament the downfall of ;> friend who took to the lava-lava and i went faa Samoa, and in Shanghai a MUDD CENTER FOLKS Ff AN’ WHEN sue PASSED \ fTHERE'S wUISTLE , L ME THIS MoRNIN’ SHE ) / TRAINS ON TIME - WE'LL -.

OTHER DAYS IN AMERICUS TEN YEARS AGO TODAY , (From The Times-Recorder, Aug. 5, 1915.) Three bales new cotton received ■ today at the Council and Parker I warehouse made a total of four new bales for that house and a total of seven for Americus to date. The new cotton finds ready sale at eight cents, for good middling grades, where the staple has been picked and handled carefully, and is not dam aged by gincut or rain. Sumter’s fine potato crtip is now being harvested to an extent, and grace the breakfast table fried and I at dinner baked. New potatoes, the | fii S i on< s, are selling in Amt ricus j just now at top prices—$1.60 per bushel, but in a few weeks will be most plentiful at 50 cents. Miss Corinne Sills left today for Columbus, where she will spend the week end the guest of Mrs. Wil! Crawford. Quite a number of en tertainments have been planned for Miss Silis by Columbus friends. To night she will be honor guest at a thing that is my pidgin is not your bu. iness. ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS SPREADING FAST Increasingly, around the world, the English language is becoming the accepted common speech. Everywhere, unless in Europe, it is assumed that an educated man of any race speaks English, and that the ignorant or uncivilized, if they have any contact with e foreigners at all, speak “pidgin” English.’ French remains “a” language >f diplomacy, but no longer “the” lan guage. In everything else, English is supplanting it. HOW TO BUILD THEM EARTHQUAKE-PROOF The cables say that Santa Bar bara is to be rebuilt in Spanish style. That is interesting. But much more important than artistic styles of external architec ture is sound internal construction. It is possible to make buildings earthquake-proof. In fact, any well-articulated con struction, whether of wood, bamboo, steel, or reinforced cooncrete, is safe against earthquake of even much more than the Santa Barbara intensity. Second-class brick or stone con struction falls down. The experi ences of San Francisco and Tokyo have established knowledge on this subject and multiplied men who know it. Santa Barbara, being warned, will probably heed. But also, hav ing during the life of the new build ings, been hit once, it is probably safer, than the places that think themselves immune. The most dan gerous place is the one that has been long without an earthquake. In the earthquake belts, says Dr. I Jaggar, the fammous volcanologist, 1 this means Los Angeles and Hono- I lulu. In the regions of longer inter vals, it means Chicago and New I York. | An earthquake will come to anv of these regions if. we wait long enough, and the chances are near est for those that have already wait cd longest. ,< YMF AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER fancy dress ball given by A.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder, ’ Aug. 5, 1905.) Miss Susanne Simmons is attend ing a house party at a delightful countr yhorne near Columbus. Americus continues to adu to her I cotton receipts and yesterday after | noon counted the fifth one of the new crop marketed here thus far. This bale was from the.farm,of Mr. Jcre Bolton. It weighed 'SBO lbs and was sent to the Chambliss ware house. The annual barbecue on the great Hugonian plantation yesterday was a royal occasion and fully in keep | ing with the princely hospitality so lavishly dispensed there. Mr. G. T. Jones, the very genial superintend ent of the Hugenin place, presided over this feast of the season, to which hundreds of friends from Americus, Cobb, and DeSoto were present a. the special guest of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. One farmer here yesterday who made fifteen bales to the plow last year, says he will not get five this year owing to bad crop conditions, , THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY Monday, no. paper published. A man tells us he isn’t so fat now. Says he used to back up to a door to ring the bell. There’s lots of money in interior decorating. You never see a good dentist broke.

Forsyth Street HOME TALENT The evening meal is over and the family’s ill at ease. Io break the spell of quiet, sister’s drumming o’er the keys. The old piano’s tinny and the notes are kinda flat, but strains of OI Virginny and the like sound good, at that. Dad gets to feelin’ tuneful, as his fav’rite songs are played. He takes his old mouth organ and he joins the serenade. While mother, at her sewin’, now and then suggests a song and as they turn to playin’ it, she hummin’ right along. It isn’t long till cousin starts her fiddle in to squeak. She frankly tells them all she hasn’t practiced for a week. Then brother Bill adds vigor to the rhythm of the tune by joinin’ with the family on his tenor saxophone. The neighbors sit in silence as they lend a willing ear. There’s something quite appealing in the music that they hear. A family joined together is a gath’ring hard to beat. Perhaps it’s just that thought that makes the sourest tune. Women may be slaves to fashion. But their burdens are light. Society’s easy to stay in if you can’t look bored enough. Love laughs at locksmiths and cusses bill collectors. Every failure thinks he could come back if he only had someone willing to put him on his feet. Take advantage of your .opportu nities. If you had started 100 years fgo you could be the world’s oldest man now. Many a man who objects to his wife’s crying thinks she should en joy his cussing. Youth may be served, but it’s bard 'to get a young chicken in a case. Many a flame is started by the flicker of an eyelid. Men will never be owmen’s equals until they know things are all right even when they look all wrong. Fat men don’t stand the heat bet ter than skinny people, but they seem to sit it .out about as well. NEW ERA Mrs. 11. A.

TILOUfOFSORfsT So Was This Americus Woman Who Tells Her Experience All too often women accept their pains ami aches as natural to their sex. They fail to realize that weak kidneys are often to blame for that backache, those headaches, dizzy spells, am.V that tired, depress’d feeling. Thousands have found new health and strength by helping the weakened kidneys with Doan’s pil| s __ a stibulant diuretic. This Americus case is one of many: Mrs. Lula I.eamon. 927 Ogle thorpe Ave., says: “When I swept I sharp pains shot up from the small tof my back and racked my whole 1 system. My back was weak and T was so tired 1 hated to get out of bod mornings. 1 was dizzy and everything turned black. I used Doan’s Fills from Howell’s Phar macy and soon felt 100 per cent better in every way.” Price 60c, at all dealers.
