Atlants. | __E DIT ORIA LS’ | Reorganize the Boy Scouts President B. E. Turner, of the Americus Palladium Club, started the reorganization of the Boy Scouts troops of Americus last night when the club had as its guests 34 Americus Bey Scouts—those splendid little Gentlemen in Khaki. it would be a great blessing to every parents if HIS boy was a Scout, for the principles of scouting are principles of man hood, taught in away that leaves a lasting impression on the plastic mind of the young ster. He is taught bodily cleanli ness as well cleanliness of soul; he is taught to be polite to his elders and to show deference to the aged; his daily motto is to do a good turn for some one. • * He learns to care for himself on the crowded streets as well as in the woods; he learns wood craft and forest lore; he must be physically strong and mental ly alert. Scouting is one of the most well-worthwhile move ments for boys of the present age,' and should have the un stinted support of every civic club member in Americus, as well as all other citizens. Some times we fail to real ize just how much that boy of ours means to us. One who is not a member of the Palladium club, but fanii 1 a - . with its work for boys, wrote the follow ing for the Palladium Club page in the Times-Recorder yester day: I have known hardships and sufferings; I have had my share of success and pleasure; I have seen days when the sun never shone and other days when all was song and gladness. Friends I have had by the score and enemies a few; moth er has meant as much to n.e as the mothers of men always do; in choosing a life partner I chose well ami never have regretted; from wife, mother and friends many hours of satisfying pleas ure have* been mine. But my greatest joy has come through that BOY of MINE 1 ; that boy who as a tiny n ight hung to my finger ;m<| later cut his first teeth on mV watch case; that boy who nestled in my arms at night as I sang in a man’s rough '■ ice, “Sleep Baby, Sleep;'' that boy who has ,-ome to me as a pa! and asked questions that em barrassed ine, Eut in th .- asking there was only the intelligent quest of a consecrated youthful soul .seeking light; I hat boy who tells me his joys and imparls in to my' ear his sorrows; that, boy who, in time I hope, jvill tell me of his first love; that boy who will ask my advice when the paths of boyhoqd open into the broad highwaTiof ,manhood; that WON DERFt L‘ BOY OF MINE. Until Today it has been 'all pleasure. this most treasured as sociatio with that Wonderful Lad yvl’-f falls me Dad, but what keeps me wake nights is whether J can guide him through the rest , of the way. Will he always come to me? 'Will he ever forget that I am pal an’d nothing more? 1 begin to realize that OUTSIDE influ ences may interfere, and I am sad. I realize that there are a thousands hand, ready to PULL DOWN what I have been BUILD ING*UL and I wonder if 1 shall be strong enough to hold onto that hand through the next few year;. Now 1 know I need help—that other agencies of uplift, must strenthan this arm of mine, and 1 welcome th,e Boy Scout troop, for there he will be taught to be a man, strong and brave and con siderate—-a gentleman in khaki. m the effort of the Palladium f o start anew the Boy Scout ..luvcme;. - . in Americus every fa ts i.o.id lend his aid.

A man, strong morally and physically, should be found to guide these troops as Scout Ex ecutive. He should be paid a Salary by the, men of Americus, A THOUGHT J As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.—Prpv. 26:21. » * * In excessive altercation, truth is lost.—Syrus, , for bis work is hard and will re , quire much of his time. The men of Americus should provide a Scout 1 lut somewhere near the city where each troop may hold its meetings. This hut should be located where the Boy Scout can turn himself loose, yelling and shouting to his heart's content. It should be I furnished with rough benches, boxing gloves, a wrestling mat, j a few carefully' chosen pictures —pictures that will inspire the boy to great things. T hey will need a water keg I and plenty of dippers; rough table or two—everything rustic and strong for the young ras cals would make kindling wood of ordinary furniture. They will want a Urge United States flag and maybe a few other things. Give the Boy Srouts a real home in Americus. The Hlladium Club has ' ’k en the lead. Others should fol low their example. YY Y ~ J. J. Brown Says He Has No Machine- In a speech at Athens, J. I. Brown, commissioner of agri culture, says he will not be a candidate to succeed himself in the elections in 1926, according to new,; reports of his speech . before ih“ State Agricultural Society Replying to the charges that he is a political boss, Mr. Brown is quoted as saying: “If I have a political machine, it is the poorest in the world. The charge is untrue. Our strength comes from the work done in years gone by.” However, later on in the same speech he is quoted as saying that in the recent session of the General Assembly: “We won everything except, the bill to divide the $500,000 sur plus which would have gone to the .State College and the district schools and one or two other agencies, but not to the State de partment.” I o save us, we cannot recon cile those two statements. Hav ing ‘‘the poorest political ma chine in the world” Mr. Brown won everything but the $500,- 000 so-called surplus fund fi'ght. No machine, but he was able to keep his oil inspectors on the State pay roll. No machine and yet Mr. Brown's statement would lead one to believe he got all he wanted in spite of a majori ty of the House being opposed to some of the things he wanted, but could not put their views over the Senate. Y Y Y We’re Long Ways From Perfect An V>ld woman was found in the poorhouse of an Ohio town. She was born there, 65 years ago, and has never been out of it. Officials of the poorhouse are not at fault. They only did what they had to. And yet this woman has been robbed of something that can never be re paid to her—in this life, at least. Our is a great country. But as long as things like that can happen in it, it is still very far from being perfect. Y Y Y Georgia Is “It”— Speaking of Georgia and her resources, the Savannah Morn ing News enumerates, as a few of them, the following: “Cotton, tobacco, corn, water melons, cantaloups, peaches, ap ples, chickens, cream, hogs, su gar cane, sweet potatoes, pecans, besides a host of lesser things —not forgetting fish and oysters, garden truck, eggs -—that’s Geor gia. If there is any state in the union that can grow and raise everything Georgia’s it.” A list as long as this column could be compiled of vegeta bles, fruits and grains that not only one can be profitbaly grown in the Empire State, but actually are being produced. And in the list are but few items which may not be grown in Sumter county. * When it comes to possibilities, Georgia and especially this sec i tion of Georgia is ''IT.” MUDD CENTER FOLKS [ , , / ■-sr!

K PAT O R I A L S r*' •• J A"' ■ BBwwdri - - L • <. . • y *3 Three chief officials of the Beth-1 lehem Steel Corporation have re-j signed, “to avoid the necessity of! reducing the wages of 10,000 la-| borers," so tile announcement says.' It may be so; but the arithmetic! of it is curious. Suppoose these three executives got .'IO,OOO a year' apiece. That, in all, is only three cents a day apiece for these ten thousand laborers. No corporation ever considered a change of wages so small. Moreover, it would be a ‘poor executive who could not ad’d at least a cent a day to the effec tiveness of each worker’s output. The dii'erenee between well and poorly organized work is much more than that. Measured by what he produces, an executive is worth either good pay or none. If he produces efficiency, he costs nobody anything. If he does not, the sum involved is relatively small, com pared to the total of ordinary wages There may be moral objections to; high salaries, but there are no bud-j ness ones. Measured in dolars. I they are the least of th-- items of a great business. A professor Jones, formerly of London, tells Austrlian students that the anthropoid apes are man’s descendants, not his ancestors. Taken literally, there is of course no evidence for such a view. But it is doubtless true that the apetd ancestors were more man-like than the present apes. That is, they were less differentiated. The pres ent ape is a highly specialized crea ture—much more so than man him self. Even the individual life of; each ape reflects this development., The young chimpanzee is almost I human; the adult is unqualifiedly' a brute. , „ i TFSE AMERICUS TTMFS-RECORDCTI !

Because of his two extreme spe cializations— his hand and his brain —man has needed few others. He : can inhabit the Arctic without grow j ing fur; overtake the deer or over j come the lion without growing ; hoofs or claws, sail the sea and the aii- without growing fins or wings; ' eat al sorts of food without adapt ing his stomach to digest them in the raw state; and produce food and shelter where nature provides none. Thus man, by his very non adaptation, has become the most adaptable of animals, and has oc cupied and dominated the earth. The ape, on the contrary, has specialized himself for a single en vironment, and can survive no other. However far from the mon key he may have started, be has reverted to a money-like life, un til now a popular view would scar cely distinguish him from the mon key, except for his lack of a tail and his greater intelligence. Even his ■ brain, because it was more than ; sufficient for his monkey-like needs I has not grown, but atrophies in early youth from the fine prom- I ise of bis infancy. Chimpanzees, orang-utangs and gorillas are a dwindling tribe, confined to a few tropical forest sand unable to live long if taken away from them, while less specialized man lives ev erywhere and thrives under all con ditions. Surely the ancestors of those creatures were of a more generalized type, and therefore nearer to our own also less special ized pre-human ancestors. It is the "ersatz" age.
