U'e d i What ‘Georgia’ Reminds Them Os When a Georgian visits an other State, attending a conven tion with a broad band about his hat on which the word Geor gia' is spelled in large letters, what does that word remind oth ers of? What, for example does a Californian think about? What would you think of, if you were from another State, knowing what you do of your Slate? The Savannah Morning News answers the question in the fol lowing: A group of Georgians visiting a northwestern city, two thousand | miles from Savannah, recently had a tip as to what “Georgia” called up to the minds of several classes of people. Those Geor gians attending a national con vention designated themselves as “Georgians” by prominent color hatbands bearing name of the State —of which they were and are and will increasingly be proud. The label won for them wherever they went a welcome — and that’s a fine sign. The big lettered hatband was greeted by a smile—and not a smile which car- I ried with it a flavor of fun or | mockery of a supposed provin- | cialisrn, but a cordial,, friendly I smile that meant something. “You’re from the peach state!” shouted one Northwesterner standing near a fruit stand. “Wa termelons!” ejaculated another when he read "Georgia.” “Your state's the home state of one of the niftiest ball players that ever was,” said another —another type. In a pool room somebody ex claimed, “Here’s a guy from Young Stribling’s state.” On the golf course “Georgia” was asso ciated with “Bobby Jones and the erstwhile Miss Alexa Stirling.” In bicycle circles Bobby Wal thour has never been dissociated from Georgia, where he got his start. And so through a long list “Georgia” calls upon stars in va rious lines—in every field of hu man activity in addition to sports. “Georgia” reminds them of oth er products than peaches and wa termelons now—of pecans and peanuts, of sweet potatoes and cantaloups, of cotton and corn, of many other things. It’s a fine thing for Georgians to get a line of what people of distant sections think of wnen they see the name of the state. Whether it is the “Stone Moun tain Memorial” or the site of the “first Sunday school in the world and the first orphanage in Amer- I ica,” the “first woman’s college or the first state supported uni versity”—“Georgia” means some thing to all who have heard of Georgia. A few years ago when one thought of Florida, it was the orange groves and mild winters which loomed large. Today it is tourists and lots, advertising I and enterprise. A few years ago when one thought of Georgia it was of cot ton, corn, turpentine and lumber, bat today Georgia is better known for her diversification— peaches, apples. watermelons and cantaloupes; cotton and corn, hogs and oats, cream and poultry— a great empire of vast possibilities; so limitless in fact, that not one Georgian in a hun dred knows all there is to know about Georgia- The Union is just discovering Georgia. They are now inter ested and Georgians in the near future will be "telling the world about Georgia." The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce is raising $250,000 for this purpose; other Georgia communities are doing likewise. Florida has pointed the way. She has started the trend south eastward. Now is the most opportune tune for Americus and Sumter county to ORGANIZE and go after a share of this emigration of men and money. You’ll be called on before long, and the entire community will be ex pected to respond. Autos and Prosperity— The first half of 1925 has seen j more automobiles made and j sold in the United States than ever before, according to the latest figures. As an indication of our gen eral prosperity that isn’t so bad. , And as an indication of the growing amount of enjoyment and plain, every day happiness I that the average citize, G <• ble to grasp, it is even better. ¥ * * Wasted Energy— A Kansas W. C. T. U. has I passed a resolution urging cen sorship of Mother Goose tales to eliminate all reference to intoxi cating drink. Old King Cole with his "pock- ! etfui of rye" seems to be the specific object of attack of the i women. Ihe next logical step lor these good, but fanatical wom en. will be to censor all history. 1 George Washington must drink buttermilk at all state functions. I he wayside tavern of ye olden days must be termed a ladies’ I rest room; all mention of beers, wines and whiskies would be I eliminated from history. We’ll bet that some of the I worst drunkards never learned a Mother Goose rhyme in their childhood and that some of the foremost advocates of prohibi tion were once able to recite many of the verses from mem ory. 't* Reaping What They Sow— Let no city pity itself for hav ing a “crime wave." For crime waves are only new proofs of the truth of the ' old saying about men reaping just exactly what they have . sown. If a city, through its political, j business and social leaders, sows I an easy-going morality in pub lic and professional affairs; a desire for riches, either private or public, at the expense of all else; a carelessness for all things I that cannot be reckoned in dol lars and cents; a heedles*ness of the welfare of its children who , are doomed to be born and live | in squalid slums— Then a reaping time must ! come, and that city will won der why it has a crime wave- ¥ * » gp-TOM IB SIMS , What you know won't hurt you, | i its what you think you konw that | does the damage. i News from Great Britain.

Sad thing about a rich man’s son is the world doesn’t get much chance to teach you any sense. The big towns have broadcasting stations. But the small towns have their party line telephones.

Messrs. T. B. Hooks and D. R. Andrews purchased at public sale today the Liggin farm of 278 acres in the Fifteenth district, one of the best small farms in that section of Sumter. The purchase was made as an investment at the price of $4,- 000. High-priced cotton brought out a lot of 600 bales at the Council Warehouse this morning which L. G. Council sold to B. B. Ford & Co. at the round price of 12 cents. Mr. Council has sold several large lots of cotton recently at top notch prices, one lot consisting of 700 bales. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder Oct. 6, editorials' lOil “LIGHT WINES" WOULD NULLIFY A BEER LAW : It is scarcely conceivable that the brewers and the Anti-Saloon League will be able to agree on any side of law enforcement. ! But at least on one thing everv body ought o agree. That is to cut, !<>ut the “and wine” from all this (“beer and wine” talk. | There is no “and wine” involved. ‘ |The brewers do not make wine. i There were, if memory serves, eighty-four “beer and wine” bills And thare was not a word about j wine in any of them . I | Good attorneys had doubtless ad ivised their introducers that the in clusion of wine would make the bill indisputably unconstituutional and , would lose whatever chance there was of the beer bills surviving the Supreme court. “Light wines” are twice as strong as rather heavy beer, or five i times as trong as the heaviest beer that could possibbly pass the Su preme court if it passed congress. Nobody is trying to pass an “and wine” law, it would be invallid if it were passed. Why not, for i truth's sake, cut the “and wine.” I “Beer and wine” means “beer.” WE MERELY HAVE A BAD HABIT President Coolidge will soon “have Congress on his hands" again S'o will the rest of us. The wel come surcease of government will * be over. Problems not of petty , pn'it'cs of “who gets the job” but of issues and laws, will fill the air and the the newspapers.

We complain of “too many laws,” 'not praise the legislature that does . inot pass,, or the governtr who ve toes them. The long strain on our | thought of theßoosevelt era and : ts : aftermaths, and the emotitna! exal-, itation of the war tired us, and we have grown mentally lazy, apathe ic and conservative. | We think that “we want a rest.”. But we don’t We want morei laws—only each of us wants his. own , and complains when the other. fellow gets his. We want more government. Wej want the things that only Congress l can do. 1 It is a mood; not a thought or al fact. I We haye merely the habit of com-1 plaining. It’s a grouch. LIFE AND DEATH IN SHANGHAI I Shanghai is parading a dozen bandits a day through Nanking Road, and then haging them at the Lung Wha arsenal outside the town. 1 There are 180 on the present list, i so the show will last some time. The people seem to enjoy it, and —such is Chinese stoicism—even 1 the bandits do not particularly ob ' ject. DeDath is a relatively minor evi’, i and life presents many greater ones • The priso nin which they have been i incarcerated is doubtless a much 1 greater one, in their estimate. r So the holiday goes on, the bandit population is slightly decreased, and ’ beyond this, not much happens. It is the Chinese way.and, in their present stage of development, perhaps an unavoidable one. We more advanced, are one stage ahead ® Os «- We lock up our prisoners more tI humanely, and hang fewer of them and do not make a show of those we do hang. But will our really civilized suc ” cessors, looking back, be much more * shocked at the Chinese way than at e ours? Authorities estimate that there e are more than 2,000.000 laws in force in the United States. is 'f The Panama Canal Zone’s av i- erage temperature is 79 degrees. ■ ’AM? i Nene cf us do half the things that we could. Oui tasks may be many, and yet, none of us do half the things that we should. The answer? We simply forget. Often we think on a single track mind and thoughts are con | fined to one thing. Then’s when accomplishment’s falling behind, I while listlessness is having its fling- “Sure I can do it,” has often been said and probably hon ! estly meant. Then to some other thing people are led and the i ! best of intention is spent. Mem’ry’s a mighty good thing to promote. Its use makes your life seems more fun. Always forgetting can get a man’s goat through worry o’er things left undone. Life’s greatest alibi’s easy to say, but really, ’twill help you a lot, to always be able to shout, day by day, “I did it’’ and not, “I forgot.” HOUNDING SOUTH ON CHILD LABOR ; Proponents of Federal Amend i ment Begin Campaign to Have Rejected Measures Reconsidered — —l ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. s.—Prop-; onents of the child labor amend ment to the federal constitution, i which has been rejected by consid-' erably more than the number of ? legislatures required to defeat it,, 5 intend to continue their campaign' in the hope of securing favorable j f action in the future, according to 1 MVjces received in Atlanta. | < The movement, it was shown ' here, is directed chiefly at the I Southern states, which the alleged 1 densely ignorant people of the ex-! ploiting child labor, and to which ; they* refer as the “backward states.’ < Their propaganda, it was asserted i here, is based largely on misinfor-1 mation so inexcusable that it < might be taken almost for deliber- J ate falsehood. For instance the i statement is reported to be com- '< mon that Georgia has 89,000 child 1 workers under fifteen most of whom are employed in the cotton \ mills, whereas as a matter of record f the total of all operatives in the. cotton mills, men, women and chil- • dren, black and white, was only I slightly more than 55,000 and there were only twenty children under the I legal age of fourteen so employed, these working because of the pov-1 erty clause in the law which per- | mitted them to help support a fani-i ily. f Really, opponents of the measure ( here assert—and Georgia was the , first southern state to reject the ; amendment —it is no wonder that ( so many people of he North do not; know and understand the South i when people who might be ranked as leaders are so deplorably ignor- - ant on the subject. j NEW YORK VALUES i 1 1 UP $12,500,000,000 I NEW YORK, Oct. s—Old Fath-1 er Knickbocker, who has done him-, self proud since the time the In-1 dians swapped all Manhattan for some beads and rum. was joyouus yesterday when he found that -hv land of all his five boroughs was « COMES WITH PROMOTION CHICAGO, 28.—-After a ca' eful survey of the entire ’abor situation extending from office hoy to president, indications ere that positions showing ir.creases sal aries require experienced help- Consulting the president of one of our largest industries, the writ er inquired regarding the rapid success of a certain young man w h° had become general mana,ger. and who a few years ago was but office boy his answer was, Brown start ed as office boy, the lowest salaried position in our office, he was am bitious and managed to purchase a typewriter on small monthly pay- I r-.ents and after three weeks of; practice at home he was promoted to bill clerk, which p osition gave him knowledge of the selling price | of all merchandise. His next ad vance was that of typist, which taught him the numerous forms of letter-writing and enabled him to hold a stenographic position, giv ing him complete knowledge of let ter-writing. He was then made sec retary. bringing him into contact with all business details and quali fied him for the general manager’s office at ten thousand per year. The same opportunity awaits ev ery young man and woman. Educa tion or age have nothing to do with operating so simple a machine as the type writer. We are informed that a great piece of benevolent work is being carried on by a large Chicago mail order house in fur nishing typewriters to people wor thy of credit, by selling on small monthly installments, sj low as to average about eight cents per day and actually teaching their custom ers how to use and operate any tpe writer in about three weeks’ time.
