AMERICUS, GA., DEC. 20, 1900.
Japan does not play the fool by a
long shot in aligning herself with
England and Germany. The two great
nations Japan has to fear are Russia
and the United States, one crowding
her from east and the other from the
west. Japan has ceased to be a sucker.
It is said Wisconsin will enact a law
prohibiting the marriage of moral and
physical degenerates, insane people or
people with incurable diseases. Wis
consin is a fortunate State if it can
afford to adopt snch a law and continue
to keep thing moving morally and phy
sically.
Hill and Olney are said to be man
oeuvering for the democratic presiden
tial nomination in 1904. Well, let
them manoeuvre, if they have time to
waste. The people are now more in
terested in raising hog and hominy and
building factories. The presidential
question may be taken up three years
hence.—Augusta Chronicle.
It would appear that Russell Harri
son has a good case against his father
and a suit for maintenance against the
ex-President ought to result in Russ'
favor. With the old gentleman hold
ing and expressing the views he does
concerning th& administration and its
it was a roregone conclusion that
the boy would be deprived of rank and
pay in the army at the first opportunity
and cast upon the cold world. Surely
Benjamin will ’‘produce” to a fair
amount if the matter is presented to
him rightly.
. MORE MONEY IN THE SOUTH.
The growing confidence in the South
has been demonstrated since the elect
ion by the heavy buying of the securi
ties of Southern railroads, and largely
for Southern account. It has been the
subject of comment in Wall street since
the election that so much Southern
capital has been seeking investment,
and what is still more significant is
that this has been very largely put into
the stocks and bonds of Southern rail
roads. These are now coming to be re
garded as “giltedged” investments.
SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.
Editor Richard H. Edmonds, of the
Manufacturers’ Record, has just re
turned from a trip through parts of
the south. Always optimistic, Mr. Ed
monds is specially so now. He tells
the Baltimore Evening News that
‘throughout the entire south there is a
degree of prosperity and of hopefulness
as to the future which has not been
seen to the same extent for many years.
In fact, the south is to-day more uni
formly prosperous, and with a greater
capital, than at any time

supremacy of Pitteburg. That
time has passed. Birmingham pig
found a limited market in Pittsburg,
and at present is finding a large market
m Europe. There is no more fear in
Pittsburg of Alabama steel rails than
of Alabama pig iron. The proposed
Southern rail mills are likely to find a
fair market among the Southern rail
roads, and, by reason of their ability to
export as ballast with cotton as a super
cargo, the will find a good market
abroad. In fact the Southern rail mills
present a more serious aspect to the
English and German rail manufactur
ers than to those of Pennsylvania. It
is simply one more item in the Ameri
can bidding for the world’s business. —

LET CONGRESS ACT
It is a well-known fact that a Hebrew
cadet at either West Point or Annapo
lis is subjected to every conceivable
indignity and every possible form of
brutality that can be inflicted any
where in sight of the ordinary methods
of hazing; and it is equally true that a
cadet of the institutions who is a sin
cerely religious man, and who aims to
live a consistent religious life, is sub
jected to insult and brutality at almost
every turn. Booz was hated and bru
tally hazed by his classmates chiefly
because he chose to live a consistently
religious life. For that offense to his
classmate he was insolently spoken of
as “Bible Booz.” A committee of Con
gressmen should proceed as speedily to
West Point and make a thorough in
vestigation of this systematic brutality
that is admittedly practiced on a num
ber of the cadets. With such an in
vestigation and the report that such a
committee would make, Congress
would certainly act promptly and most
incisively in breaking up the whole
hazing system at West Point and An
napolis.
ADVERTISING PAYS.
Any person who will watch those
Americus stores that advertise in the
Times-Recorder for one hour each day
will be convinced that printer’s ink
pays those who use it.
During the holiday period the truth
of this assertion is brought home more
clearly to business men than at any
other season of the year, although it is
the steady, every-day advertiser, the
man like John Wanamaker. who reaps
the most substantial harvest from ad
vertising in the end. At Christmas
times, however, the shoppers appear to
have more money than at any otfiv.
season of the year, at least they seem
to make themselves felt the more.
During the past week there have
been great crowds in those stores that
patronize the newspapers. Notably is
this statement true of the dry goods
and jewelry stores. All have done a
good business, and anticipate an even
greater volum eof trade during the
present week.
Truly, the merchant who knows how
to use printer’s ink judiciously and at
tractively, and who has the goods to
back up his newspaper statements,
catches the dollar of the shoppers.
WHAT’S LOVE.
Pray tell me what is Love ?
A thing
Os which the birds
And poets sing ?
A melody
Intangible,
But wondrous sweet
And beautiful ?
Or is it some rare
Prize
That money buys ?•
Or is it something vague.
A hint
Which finds development
In print ?
Or is It a sacrifice
And shame
Endured
In that dear name;,
or is it that plain
Sentiment
Which pays the bill
For clothing, food and rent
dr is it heart, soul and mind
Blind
To the world; clear-eyed and true
To itself; ready to do
And to suffer; willing to give
Or to take;
To live
Or to die for its own sake
Or is it pain and longing,
Eyes w’et
With tears
That never can forget ?
Or is it—
Fray tell me what is Love ?

DON’T COUGH
Stop it with Scott's emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
A little coughing is nothing
—the tickling, that makes you
cough once, is some dust; not
the least harm. You scratch
an itch, and forget it. This
cough is scratching an itch.
But the cough, that hangs on
and comes back, is the sign of
an itch that hangs on and
comes back. There is some
thing that makes that itch.
Inflammation: a germ per
haps; it’s alive; like a seed in
moist warm ground; it will
grow if you let it, especially
in children.
We’ll send you a little to try, if you like.

Chattanooga, Dec. 18.—A posse of
enraged citizens of Oohuttah, Ga., are
scouring the woods in quest of a negro
who assaulted Miss Annie Neal, 16 years
old. The negro choked his victim into
insensibility, accomplished his purpose
and then covered the unconscious girl
with leaves and set fire to them.
