EDITORiALb How to Secure Industries— A prominent manufactu. er was speaking to one of the business' men’s organizations of Anniston, Alabama. Here's a pertinent paragraph from his speech, taken en from the Anniston Star; “Anniston’s prosperity is assur- i ed and insured by her pay rolls. i There are few cities of the same i size with the annual payrolls of this city, and many cities much larger with less manufacturing in terests. “The thing for the men of An niston to do now, is to get new and diversified industries. Send some competent men to the furni ture manufacturing centers and let them study that business and return here and organize a furni ture factory. Let him, or another competent man visit other indus tries in other sections, and arrange for another factory in some other line. In a few years, these plants which will necessarily have to be gin in a small way, will develop into great industries, which will build a big city here. “Anniston needs to advertise her resources and advantages. There are hundreds of people who are looking for just such a city as we have here, but they cannot know about it unless we tell them.” The speaker is a manufacturer. He says GO, SEE, then come back and organize . In oth er words, pay rolls may be had if the men of a city believe in, their city strong enough to put their money and time into its de velopment. "In a few years," he. says, “these plants, whfich will necessarily have to begin in a small way, will develop into great industries.’’ Most beginnings start in a small way, but they START. The cities of the South which are known as industrial cities start ed just as this manufacturer ad vises Anniston to start. Once a few industries get under way, oth-! ers follow. If we watch cotton! mijl development, we find that a 1 new mill prefers a location where’ there already is a successful mill. | It simplifies problems. For ex-j amples there are Columbus, West! Point, Macon, Griffin and other, Georgia cities. In a recent issue of "Commerce and Finance,” the New Industries Comrriit.tee of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce has a full page advertisement with a picture of one of Columbus’ cotton mills, and the advertisement states that This cotton mill is 1,100 feet long —is six stories high and houses in the main building 125,000 spin dles, requiring for its operation from 2,500 to 3,000 employes. It is modern in every respect. This mill was established in Columbus, Georgia, about twenty-five years ago on a very modest scale. Ex ceptionally favorable conditions peculiar to Columbus and good management have been responsible for its development to its present proportions—the largest mill in the South under one roof. This mill is one of fourteen suc cessful cotton goods enterprises in Columbus every one of which has a very simliar history. All are good dividend-earners and operate steadily year in and year out. The advertisement then sets forth the advantages that Colum bus offers new industries in the following language: Five years tax exemption for new industries. Dependable hydro-electric pow er. Reliable native-born labor. No labor disputes or strikes. Big surplus supply of cotton Coal ,iron and timber handy. Rail and river transportation. Very low building costs. Pure, soft river water. Absolute freedom from malaria. Pure drinking water supply. Plenty of low rental houses. Efficient street transportation. Fine churches and schools. Commission - manager govern ment. Friendly public sentiment. Mild winters and summers. This mill, which is 1,1 00 feet long and six stories high, employ ing 3,000 operatives started "on a very moderate scale," and to day there are “fourteen success ful enterprises in Columbus, every one of which has a very similai history.’’ That point; that’s the I meat in the story. I Columbus men started and oth ! ers have come until now that pro- 1 gressive city is one of the most prosperous in the State, but it ' was Columbus men who made the initial investment. Once we are able to prove to the industrial world that WE be lieve in ourselves, then they will believe in us. Amercius needs pay rolls, and Americus may se-j I cure pay rolls, provided Ameri-, j cus business men are willing to do what other busines men in oth er cities have done and are doing, j ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Firemen Have No Right to Strike— Last week the Moultrie fire men demanded a raise in salary, of $1 0 a month. When refused, ; the firemen walked out they 1 struck- They left the city at the ' mercy of fire, should one have occurred. These firemen may have de served a raise or they may not. I Os that we do not know, nor does’ it enter into this discussion. If the firemen were dissatisfied it was their right to resign and seek oth er fields, after giving sufficient notibe, but FIREMEN and PO-1 ) L ICEMEN have no right to strike. | They hold the lives and welfare) of women and children in their i hands. Theirs is not a n indivd ual question, but one that affects the entire comfnunity. We do not deny the right of labor to organize and to use its only weapon—that of resigning or I quitting en mass, but this right cannot be extended to police and firemen, any more than to soldiers and sailors. ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Gen. Lee Born After Burial of His Mother The recent one hundred and first anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee recalls the little known fact that he was born ) more than a year after his mother ' had been buried. This historical 1 incident was recently recounted ) in the columns of the Southern i Star, and it furnishes the world | with one of the most astonishing , cases of reviviscence on record. , The facts as related by the South | ern Star follow . I General Lee’s mother was by no means an entirely healthy woman and the physician at Startford, Va., the home of Henry Lee, Light K'orse Harry, was kept in constant | attendance. Mrs. Lee suffered from catalepsy, and during a pro longed trance she was pronounced dead. The body was prepared for interment,.and the morning of the third day after her supposed death, the remains were laid in the family vault, in the graveyard of that pret ty little village. Members of the family made frequent visits to the vault and while the sexton was cleaning up and arranging some flowers to be placed on the caskets, he heard a faint voice, as though someone calling for assistance. Os course, the old man was somewhat alarm ed, but as he had seen many years of service in the “city of the dead” he did not leave the vault. He listened closely and the voice was distinctly heard again. Becoming satisfied the voice came from with . in the casket, he at once set to .1 work and opened it, discovering 1 Mrs. Lee was alive. Releasing the poor woman from her awful fate, assistance was soon sommoned and within a short time she was safe in a bed at home. Mrs. Lee’s recovery was slow, but she did regain good health, and a little more than a year after she was buried alive her youngest son, Robert E., was born, and thus came into the world one of her bravest men. Being mistaken now and then isn’t half as big a mistake as never being mistaken. The wind is blowing in the trees, it’s time to pull the ancient wheeze of saying farewell to beeveedees. There are times when we know the world can’t be as bad or os good t as we think it is. i It’s a wise man who knows he - isn’t. y Throw cold water on a friend’s en r, thusiasm and he gives you the cold shoulder.

LEAVING | OTHER DAYS IN AMERICUS J TEN YEARS AGO TODAY , (From the Times-Recorder. Oct. 27 1915) ' Mrs. Albert Harris entertained at a rook party at her beautiful home on Harrold Ave. Tuesday afternoon. The home was very attractive for the occasion, and after several games of rook ice tea and sandwich es were served. | Supt. J. E. Mothis is in Macon in attendance upon the meeting of the Maconic Grand Lodge of Georgia., j Miss Eleanor Tillman is the guest of friends while in Macon for sev eral days. i Mr J. P. Cannon spent Wednes day in Plains. Paul Westbrook, manager of the Southern Bell Telephone Co. was in Richland on business yesterday. Judge A. Hixon W.. W. Dykes, J. ' J. Blalock, ond W. P. Wallis are Americus attorneys in Macon for several days. FROM THE TIMES RECORDER. . (Twenty Years Ago Today, Oct. 27. 1905) Mr Charles S. Harris of Cuthbert came up to Americus yesterday on business. Mrs. C. M. Williamson is the guest of Macon friends this week, going up yesterday. Mr. R. A. Thomas of Dawson was in Americus yesterday, among other from Teerell’s Capital. It is predicted that within the course of a few years steel cars will be substituted for present wooden EDITORIALS If the Locarno pact is lived up to, ( the end of war has at last come. I Indeed, “the war to end war” I ( may be no longer a disillusioned ’ ( dream, but a sober fact. In theory,' at last, war between Germany and: France has become impossible, with i Britain and Italy as guarantors. | There is nowhere else in western Europe where war could break out, and with the west united the east would be helpless to make success ful trouble. Europe, at least, bids fair to be as safe as the vain at tempts of the Treaty of Versailles sought to make it. ■ < The real test well come on the j Misarming of France. The new past ( removes every excuse for the pres ent staggering military burdens of France, unless it is the excuse of confidence in the pact itself. If France will not trust the agree ment, no one else will rely on it. If France does trust it, disarma ment will follow. Then Europe, for the first time in history, is safe, and the new era of mankind begins to be a reality. And fortunately, very practical considerations urge France to rea sonableness. France in statistically on the verge of bankruptcy. Its prospective expenditures are beyond its prospective revenues. This does not mean that is would actually go bankrupt, even of noth ing were done. Nations have away of surviving such things. But it does mean that it will pay France enormously to show faith in the good faith of Germany, espe cially as that faith is guaranteed by Britain and Italy. It is well that self-interest is added to principle. The combination is invincible. The culmination is also a vindi cation of the value of intelligence, even when handicapped by false pre- THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER . ores used in passenger service in all the important Railways in the coun- • ty. Miss Nannie Sue Bell leaves today for Macon where she will spend three or four days pleasantly. Americus took another sun bath .yesterday, and felt the better for it, It was a glorious day and eleven i I thousand people enjoyed it. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY, i (From The Times Recorder, Oct. 27. 1895) Judge Crisp was upon the streets - i yesterday after his recent indisposi tion, looking little the worst for his I confinement at home. On account of illness Judge Crisp was unable to attend the festivities in Atlanta the , ! past week. i Miss Carrie Jennings, a very beautiful young lady of The Plains) was the guest of friends yesterday ■ while enroute home from Atlanta. Mrs T. B. Hoyt who has been spending some time at the home of her sister, Mrs W. S. Prather, on | Lee St. returned to her home in Fort. Valley yesterday. i Emmett Bolton stole quietly away’ j yesterday, his ticket reading to Col-; . umbia Ala. His frequent Sunday ‘ i visits there cause his friends to sus-1 | pect him of intentious matrimonial. ; Judge Allen Fort returned yester- • day from Atlanta where he went to • attend the banquet given in honor > of President Cleveland and his cab- I inet during their visit to the Expos i ition.. judices. The last election in Germany was regarded in many quarters as a menace to the peace of the world. The Nationalist victors had been chosen on an impossible platform of defiuace to the obligations of Ger many and the sentiment of the world If their paper program had been carried out it would have meant war, the suicide of Germany, and the destruction of Europe. The only possible excuse for the election of the Nationalists was that they were personally intelligent men —perhaps the most intelligent group of natural leaders left in Germany. Once in power, under responsbibil ity, they used their brains to face facts. The result is that, out of a party of defiance, we have the first fruitful step of conciliation. If you need a real job done, get men of brains to do it. The next step is a disarmament conference. President 2°°fidge would like to gall that conference under American auspices, as a sequel to the Was ington Conference. The League c Nations would like to call in under League auspices, as a matter of prestige. Both can not be held. Which one is held will perhaps de pend on a blancing of motives. E urope would like to strengthen the League, as against the weakening tendency of American abstention.; But Europe would also like to en list American co-operation on ' a larger scale. It will be a question of which is Wanted most. But there are real reasons, even from the American standpoint, why it might be more desirable for us to leave it to the Leagueu. We do not object to increasing the League’s prestige. We are not against the League at all, for its members. If it can do them good, so much the bet ter. All our “anti-Leagues” want is to keep out of the League ourselves. And the best way to do that would be for us, to leave this conference to the League. We hav e nothing to disarm, in the way of land forces. I sometimes kinda wonder what they mean by sayin’ “rest.” It simply doesn’t seem to be a thing with which I’m blest. My work starts in the morning, just as soon as lam dressed. I never have a moment’s peace although I try my best. The morning meal is started, and the coffee’s put to boil. The house is paper-littered, and it shows the need of toil There always is a bit of rush and scrimmage,' as a rule, to feed and dress the youngsters so’s to get them off to school. 1 wait upon my husband, and 1 put his laundry out. He’s late in getting started, and he keeps me rushing ’bout. My nerves are rather ruffled by the vacuum cleaner’s hum. At noon I turn to lunch eon, when I hear the kiddies come. Towards afternoon the kitchen calls. Potatoes I must peel. I work around the oven as I plan the evening meal. The children and the; daddy never know a mother’s test. I sometimes kinda wonder what they mean by saying “rest.’’ We are already n.- re disarmed than Germany.S'o we have nothing to of-j fer to such a conference, as we had ■ to the naval disarmament confer- I nece. But the conference itself, as be- I tween its European members, all of 1 whom are members of the League, will have many disarmament pro vis ons for which the League, to them, will be much the best, indeed the only, organ of administration. We have no objection to this use I of the League, for its members, if they want it. But we are not prepared to be a party to it. If agreements should be made in which we do not wish to share, we will do best to let others make them without our help. When a man says he’ll never mar ry it is just because he doesn’t Know what kind of girls there are in the world. Be quiet. Then you will know what others think of you. And they won’t know what you think of them. Don’t tell all you know. It is dis couraging to learn how little it really is. Sometimes one person doesn’t like another because they a’re alike, which is embarrassing to both. Mother! Don’t pThysic” a Child j To Dr. W. •B. Caldwell, of Monti cello, 111., a prac ticing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tab lets, salts, calomel dr.callwell! ar “! oil Y Willie he knew — that constipation was the cause of nearly all children’s little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” every little while was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which regulates the bowels. A single dose will estab lish natural, healthy bowel movement for weeks at a time, even if the child was chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel move ment but, best of all, it is often months before another dose is neces sary. Besides, it is absolutely harm less, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick child gladly takes it. cogent tottieTt Dr. Caldwell's any store that sells medicine and w * Ju.< ... p EPS J N 0 err a CHATHAM LOAN #12.50 A HOHTH O* MOOO. covers principai- J.
