VY<.i:un Building, Attala. EDITORIALS Observations Gathered Here and There— A woman in New York, so we are told, won a SIOOO verdict against her landlord after the ceiling of her kitchen gave way and showered debris on her. This was not so much because her injuries were serious. But never since the accident has she been able to bake pie as she used to. | The price is small indeed. A ! womanjvho can really bake pie 1 as it ought to be baked is worth j her weight in gold. Hardly any j sum, it seems, is enough to com-1 pensate for the loss of the art. The boys in the High school; and out at the A. and M. school > are playing mighty good football' this year and should be receiv-l ing the moral backing of the community. I What wouldn t these husky youngsters do if a hundred or more Americus business men watched from the side lines? Youth longs for the applause of those of more mature years. That boy at school often gets down to .business, studying hard er and longer, when he knows that dad is watching and betting on him. Captain Warrington Pritchard, one of the oldest vesselmen on the Great Lakes, is dead at Fort Wil liam, Ont., at the age of 100 years. What a pity that this man's wealth of reminiscence could not have been put down in print for: us before he died. It would have made absorbing reading—vol- 1 umes of it. Our inland seas have their own romance, though we often fail to realize it. There is material for! endless thrillers in their lost his tory. Some day, let us hope, some one will arise able to write them. Governor Walker is sure to call an extra session of the Legislature, one of its mem bers tells us this week. He says that while the Governor has not definitely decided just what questions will be included in the' call, the call is a certainty. From receqt letters and state-' ments, the Governor seems to be' inclined to include the question of a bond issue for roads and educa tional purposes. So far as outward indications point, there is no public de-, mand for the extra session.! Practically all of the papers in; the State believe an extra session 1 unnecessary, but the Governor is now trying to change public opinion, in so far as the session is concerned. The session is rather much of >:a certafnty now and bonds will be included in the call, we believe, along with pen sions and probably other matters which the Governor believes to be of importance. A famous old Chicago saloon, padlocked at last after 40 years of existence, is to be reopened— but as a gospel mission Really, no more fitting thing! could happen to it. Despite all talk of the cheer and good fel lowship and companionship that the saloon furnished it is a fact that every good old-time saloon needed some sort of gospel mis cion to come along and qlean up after it. ! If people could learn, once and for all, that you never can get something for nothing in this life, j the army of swindlers and con fidence men would vanish over night. For the desire to do just that is the reason for the loss millions ! of dollars in "sucker’’ in vestments. A man wants to put a few hun dred dollars into a project that will make him wealthy Not to work for his wealth, not to spend years of toil and energy in laying by a competence; but to get it for nothing, without earning it. And presently some smooth oil • stock salesmgg comes along and there is another sadder and wiser man. Ypu don't get things for noth ing in this life. Things simply don't work out that way. | A THOUGHT Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, thing* which God hath pre pared lor them that love Him. —1 I Cor. 2; 9. • • • I The loves that men in paradise i shall cast out fear; and pardise hath l oom for you and me and ail.—- I Christian Rossetti DOLLAR WISE. There is a man in our town And he is wondrous wise. He doesn't fall for every scheme That hot-air crooks devise. When he invests his money. He shuns all tips and guesses. And looks for constant earning power And records for successes. —EXCHANGE. The Cincinnati Auto Club, aft er wrestling for months with the problem of the careless driver, is now devising a set of rules for pedestrians. But they have called in a group of men who neither own nor drive automobiles to help them. I That s new and refreshing. . Too often the luckless man who ! has to cross a city street on foot is at the mercy of the autoists and guided by rules laid down with the welfare of autoists solely in mind. Now he may get a chance, in Cincinnati, at least, to have some sort of a voice in the restrictions that are put on his downtown; perigrinations. Route Three the shortest route to Florida from the State’s capital city—should be paved at the earliest possible moment. Between Americus and Griffin! on that route are no large cities to enter an emphatic demand for State and Federal funds, and un-| less the citizens of the counties! through which Route 3 passes form an active, cohesive organiza-| tion, that road may be forgotten and neglected. Road funds are more easily se cured when fought for than when left to the discretion of others to appropriate. As a rule each of us follow the lines of least resistance. I Therefore, if this route is to bej paved in the near future the citi-l; zens of those counties on this ■ route between Griffin and Albany j ■ should form an organization and begin work at onQ£. Route 1 hree is one of the most beautiful roads in the State. It is now graded and there is some permanent paving of the greatest importance to Americus and Sum-'' ter county. A wise beginning might for the Sumter county commissioners to invite the commissioners of the interested counties on the route to meet here and form a prelimi-' nary organization- W'hy not start now? An Opportunity for the Church— Suppose that scientists would announce tomorrow that they had found the secret of harnessing the' power of the atom? This isn't a foolish supposition. As eminent a scientists as Dr. R. A. Millikan who probably knows more about the subject than any other man alive—inti mates in a mazagine article that this development may come while ' some of us are still alive. It would mean, of course, that our civilization would be remade i Possibly no more than eight-hour j days; probably an hour’s work a' day would be all we would need with such a tremendous source of power- If we are ready, spiritually and mentally, for a change like this, it will be the greatest blessing imaginable. Toil, poverty, crowd ; ed tenements, back-breaking la ' bor—all of these would vanish forever. If we are not ready, it would be the greatest curse in the world’s history. Science can im prove the material conditions of life; but if we are not fit to ac cept them we will be shipwreck ed. Life is more than material things; there is some higher end to it than simply the attainment of a good amount of leisure. And here is the church’s op portunity. Our spiritual leaders I must make us ready. Tolerance, I broadmindedness, fairness, a love ■ of justice, a desire to develop mentally and spiritually these are the traits they must foster in us, if science's promised prize is to be the blessing it should be f ' ! /7 T KINDA SU'W GiH'l a ‘ I „ ' •) LAWYER CBJCcTS t' I - vvcll, Pop, Hows / ev’rybody tret owns a c TER DAMAGE.

' '*•- tz Senate leaders are reported as disposed to “extend the olive branch" to “Young Bob” La Follette. That is, they are willing to admit him on ; • I probation as a Republican, provided he will assure them that, he will be “good.” Why not admit him uncondition- | ally, and let him decid ? for himself ! whether, by his own course, he will I eject him self from the party? I I Whether he is a Republican is rather (tor the Republican of his state than than for his colleagues in the Senate to decide. Legally and officially he is. If he does not wish to be pratical ly, that is for him to show. Certainly, a Senate that has chosen as the chairman and vice chairman of its principal committee the two most outright insurgents in the Sen ate against the party policy cannot raise very much the question of “re gularity” against La Follette. WOMEN FAVOR LOCAL OPTION The women doctors, lawyers and economists of Germany, in conven tion assembled, passed a resolution in favor of local option on liquor question, which is as near to pro ; hibition as anyone in Germany can now go. Doubtless, they will not get far at this time. But the old attitude toward the I use of alcohol cannot permanently survive anywhere in this scientific • age. , There was a time the moderate use • of alcohol was considered not only i harmless, but actually beneficial. i Wine was called , “tonic, and whesky I or brandy a “stimulant.” So long as AMERICUS ■; iMES-RECORDER vIUDIM b.N I HR FOl IO Miss Kate Hollis has as her guest for some time Miss Sadie Morris of Atlanta, a former charming and much admired visiter here. Mrs Frank Harrold has gone to Monroe upon a visit of some length to her parents Mr and Mrs B. S. Walker of that city. Mr M. S.

Americus Nobles are going to Columbus in full force this morning and will ride the camels in the great parade through there this morning. THIRTY YEARS TGA TODAY. (From The Times Recorder, Nov. 7, 1895) Judge A. L. Miller came down from Bacon yesterday on legal bus iness. Mi s E. S. Britton after a pleasant visit of a week at the home of Mr and Mrs J. R. Britton returned .o Macon yesterday. Miss Nannie Philot has returned to her home the Windsor, after spend ing several weeks with relatives in Nashville and Chattanooga. Mr and Mrs Albert Drane left yesterday for Washington, D. C. after a visit of two weeks at the home of Capt. W. W. Drane near Americus. The decline in the cotton market continued yesterday, contracts clos ing fifteen points lower than Mon day. Representative Thornton Wheatley after a stay of a few days at his home, returned to Atlanta yesterday accompained by Mrs J. A. Kendick and Miss Alice Wheatley, who will spend a few days there. people thought that, the only pro blem was the acknowledged evil of drunkenness. - But now it is known that alcohol j is not a stimulant. It is a depressant. ; It decreases strength, mentalactigue, ' and resistance to cold and fatigue. What honest diference of opinion there may ue as to the porpriety of ! interfering with the evil of alcohol b; law, there is no longer any ques tion that it is an evil, in moderation ■us well as in excess. Alcohol ceases to be a “right” and the only remain ing question is how far society ought go in dealing with it as a wrong.

The world was created that way. The man who is perfect has yet to come out. There is no such person, they say. I mention the fact as a friendly-like tip, for it’s one that we likely all need. Watch out for yowself, lest you’re due for a rip up the back, if you’re planting the seed. It’s always tc.i easy to talk about folk, and find lots of fault with their being. And though it is oftentimes done in a joke, you’ll al ways find list’ners agreeing. Most knocking that’s done is a senseless affair, and it just makes the knocker look small. Whenever you have such opinion to air, it is best you don’t air them at al.l To criticise people is all to the bad, so the next time expres sions are loosed, forget all the knocks that you ever have had. Speak only in terms of a boost. It is foolish to go around knock ing people with the hope that you will be mistaken ror opportunity.
