Commenting on Carnegie’s liber

The Journal wants Atlanta to
swallow up nearly all of Fulton

census is taken. It says the idea
has been greeted with “an en
thusiastic chorus of approbation.”

Judge Speer’s opinion on the
Employers’ Liability Act has
attracted national attention. It
has been favorably commented on
by great business journals, as well
as by the leading newspapers,
north and west. Judge Speer
ranks in public esteem among the
brainiest jurists in the land. He
undoubtedly well illustrates Geor
gia on the Federal bench.
The' Albany Herald well says,
“There is no necessity for keeping
open house for those classes of
foreigners whose future as citizens
is at best problematical.” If
Georgia has got to go to Hungary
and Italy and Poland for its new
citizens it might be far better to
let the old State grow slowly out of
the fine material it has at home.
State Commissioner of Agricul
ture Hudson has received numer

willing to remove to Georgia if he
will bny them farms, pay their

for. The Commissioner should

other State will offer something

During the past four weeks
there has been a very gratifying
increase in the subscription lists
of both tbe daily and weekly
papers.
Such an evidence of the will
ingness and desire of the people
to support the increased expenses
incurred by the Times-Recorder
in its policy of progress is natural
ly an incentive to greater efforts
in the direction of a newspaper
that will creditably represent
Americus. When the eight page
form is re established in the early
fall, a telegraphic service put in,
and other improvements carried
opt that are now being planned,
it will be possible for us .to make
the Times-liecorder what we de
sire it to be,the newsiest and most
progressive paper in all southwest
Georgia.
RIGHT OR WRONG?
“Georgia wants immigration,
right or wrong.”—Pome Tribune.
No. That is not a correct state
ment. Georgia wants only the
right kind of immigrants, and it
wants them in the right way. It
does not want an nndesirable
class, and it does not want them
brought here through misrepre
sentations abroad, or perjnry at
the port of admission.—Americus
Times-Pecorder.
Georgia, of course, would prefer
the best class, but our belief is
that there is not as mnch danger
from foreign immigration as some
people seem to think. Immigrants
who come here express by this very
act a desire to be Americanized,
and speedily become so. It is
wrong, of course, to entice them
here by misrepresention and to ad
mit them by false methods. .How
ever, there are plenty of good, in
dustrions foreigners knocking at
onr doors, for whom we have work
and of whom the south stands in
need. Many an immigrant was
unpromising when he landed here,
but under the influence of our in
dustrial life and institutions he
speedily became a good citizen.
We tmst the Americus Times-
Pecorder will not be too^critical.—
Savannah Evtnlng Press.
High compliments have been
paid to the memorial day speech of
Hon. Shelby Myrick, at Valdosta.
Mr. Myrick, as the people of Amer
icus know,, is very gifted as an
orator, adding to natural powers
the charm that comes from exten
sive study and the polish that
culture gives to a public speaker.
He is peculiarly happy in his ad
dresses on snch occasions as a
memorial day,when tbe traditions,
institutions and history of the
South afford a theme ot never end
ing interest. A scion of old
Southern families he naturally
appreciates at full valGe all that
was best In the South of ante
bellum days.
The Atlanta papers refer to Lon
Livingston as a “statesman.” The
rest of the state prefers to look on
Your Uncle Lon” as a very
shrewd politician who knows how
to get something out of the grab
bag for his constituents at every
term of Congress. A statesman
has been described as “a dead
one.” Oh, no, Uncle Lon is not a
statesman.
Mexico is going to spank Gan-
temala. The next thing we know
we’ll have to whallop Mexico for
trying to run things down in Cen

people to boss this continent, and
Teddy had better serve notice on
There is no doubt but that
Americus is growing quietly,
substantially and satisfactorily.
People at home as well as visitors
are daily being impressed with
that fact.
While the Board of Trade has
probably not yet accomplished as
much in direct, visible results in
the bringing to Americus of new
industries, as our people would
have liked to see, yet there is no
doubt of the fact that at the pres
ent time there is a better spirit of
co operation and helpfulness and
hopefulness among the people of
Americus than ever before. And
this spirit is going to do things
for the future. And such a spirit
is the best asset that the Board of
Trade or the city of Americus
could have.
Americas needs more houses,
more residences to accomodate the
number of people who want to
come to this city to liye. The
secretary of the Board of Trade,
the live real estate men of the
city, will confirm these statements.
It ought not to take much faith in
getting the real estate owner, the
contractor, the banker, the capi
talist and the architect together
and straightway begin the erection
of the necessary and suitable class
of dwellings required for the
growth of Americus.
More people, more industries, a
bigger and greater and more beau
tiful city, can be built up right
here in Americus during the next
few years. The opportunity
here, and The Times-liecorder is
confident that the people of Amer
icas are going to meet it half way,
Let every one in proportion to his
means do his part as an individual
and let ns foster and develop in
every possibl#way the loyal,faith
lnl, hopeful, helpful community
spirit that makes a city solid
substantial, progressive and pros
perons.

original. Heading and all it \jas

Herald. The only changes inac|e
were substituting Americas for
