SMMER1CUS. GA„ JAN. 4, 1907
And it has been only one week
since Christinas. Time drags as
well as fugits.
Let ns be thankful that 1907
brings no election. It will be a
blessed year wholly free of politics.
Fifty-three dead and fifty
maimed was the result of Sunday’s
tearful railway accident near
Washington. , Kit '-O;
Americusl will {scarcely know
herself by the, end of this good
new year.^so great will she have
grown. - • * i
With two railroads knocking at
ber doorslMiss Americas will be
“athome” to tail such delightful
callers.
The Empire State is going to
keep elastic step in the march of
progress made by the country at
large this year. Large undertak-
ings involving the outlay of vast
sums,fend lesser enterprises as well,
are in prospect for the first part of
the new year, not the least of
which is the building of the eleven
agricultural colleges. Georgia is
prosperous as never before, while
the entire South is in excellent
condition. The cotton crop had
been large and prices were good.
The mines and furnaces and mills
and factories are being actively
operated. Trade is good, there is
employment for all labor, and the
demand exceeds the supply- The
spirit of progress is unabated; all
indications point to a continuation
of tbe wonderful prosperity with
which the Country has been blessed;
it is to be an off year in politics,
and there are to be few elections
and political disturbances. If the
crops are again abundant a year of
prosperity is assured. The Nation
is hopeful and confident, and there
are no clouds in the sky. The in
dications are t that there will be
less of reckless adventure and
speculation, which will be an ad
vantage. We have much for which
to be thanktul, much over which
to be encouraged, much to hope
for. How long the present period
of prosperity will last none can
foretell or forsee. It may continue
indefinitely, x or there may be a
material check within tbe next few
years. But there is no need to
borrow trouble. The outlook in
spires optimism rather than
pessimism, and sufficient nnto the
day is the evil thereof.
Folks down on the farm are be
having themselves and enjoying
life. There is not much else to do
at this season.
Atlanta is now thoroughly trust
infra ted, and visitors to the capital
will now have, to carry their, own
booze as well as razors.
A year of tragedies and dis
asters, prosperity; and world pro-
grass. 'The new one will have to
hustle to compare with it.
WHITE LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
Keep the vagrants, black and
white, big and little, on the jnmp.
Give them no rest, and they will
either move out or go to work.
A New York woman dropped
four aces to chase a burglar. You
never can tell what a woman will
do in the pursuit of mere man.
The child labor bill, emanci
pating the white slave children of
Georgia, became effective yester
day and fills tbe school rooms in
stead of the factories.
On tbe 19th of January the cen
tennial anniversary of the birth of
General Robert E. Lee will be
observed with appropriate cere
monies in many parts of the coun
try.
Ben Tillman continues to belch
his vomit at President Roosevelt
for having discharged the negro
murderers in uniform; a most com
mendable act, and one applauded
by the South.
Americus' enterprising citizens
must include today with their new
_ years resolutions a determination
‘ to work harder than ever for the
city’s advancement. Pull together,
and success is assured.
Americus was never more pros
perous than she is today but, as
piring to be bigger and greater
still, she will bend her every en
ergy to that accomplishment
Jhst watch her grow during 1907
In Philadelphia last week Gov
ernor Heyward, of South Carolina,
delivered an address in which he
discussed at some length the labor
problem in tbe South, and bis plea
for white labor, which the South
ern States are now making every
effort to secure, has an important
bearing on the immigration ques
tion with which Congress will at
tempt to deal at this session, and
also on the negro problem. There
is no question that Governor Hey
ward represents tbe sentiment of
the progressive South, in which
the growth of industries has been
marvelous, when he demands id
behalf of those industries that the
tide of immigration be turned
Southward, and that the States of
this section be granted the privilege
of attracting and importing from
abroad the class of labor they most
need and desire. The awakening
of communities, the swing and
swift impulse of business and In-
dustiy, tbe introduction of a live
and bustling and forward civiliza
tion in the black districts and in
tbe remote parts of tbe Sonth—
these are the influences which are
going to uplift the negro, or dis
place him aud leave him a laggard
iu the march, to be eliminated
from the contest. The dangerous
negro is the shiftless aud the idle
negro who will not work. The
Southern States have been torced
to put up with that sort of man be
cause other labor was not to be bad;
but if ambitious white men arrive
eager to work, no community,
North or South, will harbor.the
dangerous class any longer.
An electric J street railway,
power plant, day current, the
agricultural college, the -federal
building, a~big cotton mill, the
Western & Gnlf Railway—these
all most be secured "for Americus
. this year.

Long Staple Cotton io Easily Crown
Here.
Those farmers who produced long
ataple cotton this year were well paid
for their labor. While the short staple
has been selling at from li cents to 11
cents the long staple variety has sold
for from 111 cents to 2:t cents. The long
staple cotton will grow on almost, any
sotl that will produce the ordinary va
riety. It would he the part of wisdom
and In line with genuine diversification
for farmers to plant at least a few acres
of the long staple variety In localities
where they have not been In the habit
of raising it. The difference in the
prices of the long ntul short staples Is
enough to appeal to any progressive
cotton producer.
A Modern Mlraole
Truly miraculous seemed the recov
ery of Mrs. Mottle Holt of this place,"
writes J. u. K. Hooper, Woodford,
Tenn., "she was so wasted by coughing
up puss from her lungs. Doctors de
clared her end so near that her family
had watched by her bed-side forty,
eight hours; when, nt my urgent re
•luest Itr. King's New Discovery was
given her. with the astonishing result
that Improvement began, and continued
until she finally completely recovered,
and Is a healthy woman to-day.” Guar

FINE GRADES BRING A QUARTER
President Hill advises the rail
roads of this country to spend $5,
00D,000,000 for improvements in
the next live years. That sum
would build twenty-five Panama
canals.
Georgia waits, with bated breath
the final decision of the Atlanta
barkeeps as to whether the price
of drinks shall be advanced under
tbe terms of tbe barkeep trust.
And now we are told that one
can Boon see by telephone. Is
poor man to be denied all forms ot
privacy!
If he wears a vivid necktie don’t
guy him. He’s merely an innocent
Victim of tbe Christmas habit.
Slight Improvement Made in Cotton
Market.
Americus' cotton circles liuve been
rather dull than otherwise since the
new year opened, with little doing in
the way of sales. Local stocks are
light, and there Is little good cotton to
Ire had. Yesterday there was an ad
vance of n half dozen points with good
middling wortlt mi cents here.
