For several months a number of our subscribers living at a dis tance have experienced trouble in getting their daily Times-Re corder- More complaints have been received the past three to five months than in any like pe riod in years. The papers are printed. They go into the local postoffice. They leave the local postoffice, but after that no one seems to know what happens. From Savannah, a subscriber writes that only one paper was received in a certain week. An- ' other writes that three or four papers are received. We of the Times-Recorder subsetibe for many daily papers, printed from New 1 ork to Mi ami. It is the exception when we receive all of these papers for a given week- What becomes of the papers not delivered’ They do not come back to the publisher. Somewhere in the postal serv ice there is gross carelessness. Daily papers are paying a higher rate of postage than ever before —and in many instances receiv ing poor service. ¥ South Georgia Methodist Conference An invitation to the South Georgia Methodist conference to hold its 1926 sessions in Ameri cus will be extended by dele gates from the First Methodist church when the conference con venes at Macon in November of this year. If the invitation is accepted, -Americus homes will have the privilege of entertaining about 400 Methodist ministers, lay delegates and other church offi cials. “It is worth all that it will cost us in effort and time to have these 400 men of God in our homes and our city for a week or more,'' John Sheffield says, and it could not be put more aptly. Americus has many splendid things to show among them most modem church edifice i n Georgia. Americus’ hospitality is proverbial and if the confer ence accepts the invitation the delegates know, without being told, that their stay here will be both enjoyable and profitable. Entertaining 400 delegates is a task which the First church alone should not be expected to carry and we believe we speak the views of every citizen when we say all Americus homes will be thrown open to the con ference delegates. ¥ ¥ ¥ Bad Propaganda Is Political Mush— After traveling over the drouth section of North Georgia, Hon. S. H. Morgan, state sena tor from the First district, says the condition there is bad, but most of the talk “has been of the mush type and given out for political Following his personal visit. Senator Morgan gave the follow ing statement to the Savannah Press, which should be given the fullest publicity: ‘There has been a great deal of talk about the drouth area of Northeast Georgia and it is very bad there, the writer has been over it. But much of the talk has been of the mush type and given out largely for political reasons, to bolster up some poli tician’s reputation. “This is bad propaganda and not relished by the citizens of that district. As proof of it I quote from the Commerce News editorial. The Commerce News is published in the very heart of the drouth area and knows con ditions very much better than any one in Atlanta or Savannah, and the editor in as fitting a para graph as I have ever read, says: ‘lt is time to call a halt on cer tain types of publicity being broadcast with reference to con dition in North Georgia. We have lost our crops, but we have not lost our hope, our faith, our en- established A THOUGHT i ’ Better is the poor that walketh in uprightness, than he that is per verse in his ways, thought he be rich.

Our climate is unchanged and the possibilities of our soil are undefinable. We will not sulk. It is an insult to, the brains and energy and deter mination of the best type of men and women on God’s green ijarth, to place us in a class with pover ty stricken humanity who are ob jects of charity.’ "This editor speaks from his heart ond realizes that his section is being hurt by such bad propa ganda. I know the section and its people. There is a great deal of reserve capital there and as tine and healthy a lot of men and women as could be found any where in the world, and one crop failure will not ruin them any more than one swallow would make a summer. "My hat is off to the Commerce News because I know it is speak ing for its people.” Every citizen in Georgia sympathizes with those splendid North Georgians who have suf fered and suffered severely, but they are not objects of charity, as some would have the world believe- Georgia is financially able to care for her people, and the av erage Georgian resents the impli cations made that Federal aid or any other outside help is nec essary in Georgia. Georgia has never “passed the hat" and please Heaven she never well. Certainly, not in a year when three-fourths of the State—or thereabouts—has en joyed one of her most prosper ous seasons. Peanut, pettifogging, self-cen tered politicans. not satisfied with their own ineffeciency, grab a thing like this in an ef fort to make political capital of it do the State untold harm. Droughts are bad: rainy sea sons have cost the state millions, but Georgia's greatest load is her cheap politicians. And. by the same token, her greatest need is business men in charge of the affairs of the State. Too Dangerous a Weapon— One weapon of war is too dangerous to use against even rats- That is disease germs. The California Board of Health has vetoed a proposition to combat rats by spreading dis ease among them. Theoretical ly, if some disease could be found to which rats were sus ceptible, but to which human be ing and all useful animals were immune, that would be an ideal way of getting rid of man s smartest and most persistent ene my. But the health authorities hold that not enough is known of dis eases to be sure that even the rattiest of rat diseases might not spread pestilence elsewhere. So the rats will be shot, drowned, smothered, poisoned, starved and trapped, but not infected. 13) SIMS Most women long for a home with costly furniture and phonog raph records which play on one side only. The laziest man in town has quit selling coal and gone into the ice business for the winter. Two can live on love alone until time to eat. When you see a man standing with his wife before a window full of hats you know she is boss. Music bath no charms to soothe the savage phonograps, player piano or squawking radio. Our neighbor’s new baby seems to have static. Fall hats are selling at top prices. Friday is considered unlucky by some people, but then every day is Considered unlucky by some people. A wise man never turns up his i nose at the neighbors or at his wife’s cooking. MUDD CENTER FOLKS |iFiT says THef |F W drinkin’ Butterm. ilk r/ <3 WILD EXTEND YOUR.

Oct.! 14. 1915( The city of Americus is defend ant in a damage claim on trial in the City Court today wherein the plaintiff, Mrs. C. R.

There are one or two other suits of asimilar nature,; the Winchester case being the first entered upon.

And that simple fact is about the most significant indication of Mexico’s deveolment in constitutional freedom and eco nomic progress. For when General Obregon laid down the presidency because his term had expired, and turned it over to a success whose only title was that he had been elected by the people, that was something that had never happened before in Mexico. If it can keep on happening, Mexico is politically free. And if Mexico’s public men, on retiring from office, will set the example of raising beans, or grow ing anything else useful, Mexico will be prosperous. Three things that Mexico needed, it has now measurably attained— political stability schools and op | portunity for the people, and at ' tention tobusiness. ■ One more thing it needs. That is ■ foreign capital. It can get that only on capitalistic terms. There are many arguments in i favor of Socialism, and • any earn est people believe in them. I But one thing Socialism can not i do. That is to serve as bankable 'security for capitalistic world. This is not mere theory. It translates inself into very prac tical fact. I Mexico announces an impregn- I able political principle. Those who invest in Mexico must do so under Mexican law, and have exactly the rights of Mexican investors. This is “'fair” enough. But fair ness is not enough. The capitalist world has certair standards of the inviolability of property, To it, land is property, and ownership of it is . If Mexico chooses to make land ownership a revocable privilege ■ thoritysubject to recall by politics ' authority, it is “fair” to apply tht same principle to native and foreigt : investors alike.

Last fall when the “Buy-a I abate” movement was inaugurated Mr. Andrews bought nine bales of distress” cotton, at the market price, Six cents, and presented leach tot with three bales at twelve cents, netting a profit of $270, to be divided equaly among the happy! little folks of the Andrews house!

' (From The Times Recorder, Oct. 14. 1915) Daniel’s Shoe store is showing a complete line of Mallory and Sphox, featuring the popular brownderbies and black derbies, at from $2 to $5.

The capital development of Mexi co depends absolutely on the confid ence of the capitalists of the world i that they will deceive, not merely “fair.” but capitalistic treatment. ' Fortunately, the new regime in Mexico bids fair to meet even this condition. It is in a difficult dilem ma. The distribution of the large estates of Mexico among the people is a political and economic neces sity. We would be doing the same thing in this country, too, if we had the same situation. To do this involves some me jification of the orthodox concep tion of the inviolability of property !in land. And to do this to Mexican property necessarily means doing it 'also to foreign-owned property, which is precisely what foreign in vestors will not risk. MACON COUNTY MAY PAVE DIXIE HIGHWAY MONTEZUMA ,Ga„ Oct. 13.—At a rousing meeting of the Kiwanls club here discussion centered around the paving of the Dixie high way through Macon county, a pro ject which it is hoped will soon be under way. Representatives from Peach and Sumter counties were present and contributed many help ful suggestions. With the completion of the pav ing project through Sumter. Macon and Peach counties there will be a (Continuous line of paving on the ' Dixie highway from Cartersville to jthe Florida line, and it is believed that this road will greatly enhance property values and otherwise proves beneficial to this sectton.

And then the missus wants a dress and, like as not, a hat. The change from summertime to fall, with threats of frost and snow, convinces I must heed their call, and spend a heap of dough.
