A RECORDER FOR POLICE COURT
Last fall when Mr. L. G. Council allowed his name to be announced
as a candidate for mayor he was assured that as soon as the legislature
met a bill would be introduced creating the office of recorder for Amer
icus. It was pointed out at the time that a recorder to preside at police
court would lift most of the unimportant routine work off the mayor’s
shoulders and give him more time for the other cares of the office.
The best man to be elected mayor is usually the busiest man. A
successful business man can be counted on to make a success of handl
ing the city’s affairs just as he does personal affairs.
It is unfair to such a man to expect him to devote several hours
every other day to trying negroes for petty thefts and mullet supper
rows. The right kind of a mayor is too busy to give his time to such.
Mr. Council is a busy man. He has made a success of his private af
fairs by strict attention to them. He is devoting the same amount of care
to running the city. His administration already has the earmarks of
success.
We feel that we need a recorder for the police court and hope that
our representatives will see fit to introduce a bill changing the charter
so as to create such an office.
Then, when we have a good business man we want for mayor we
can assure him that he will not be forced to spend a great part of h:s
time presiding at police court.
THAT MEETING TONIGHT
A meeting has been called of the citizens of Americus for tonight
at the city hall, it is announced ihat at this meeting plans for securing
the “Dixie National Highway” for Americus will be discussed and perfect
ed. A full attendance of citizens is urged and expected.
We suggest as the best means of getting this national highway, that
the Chamber of Commerce be reorganized. That a live wire, capable sec
retary be secured.
‘ Our suggestion may seem to miss the mark, to some, but we insist
that a live Chamber of Commerce can do more in securing improvements
and additions that go to make up a town, than any other two organiza
' tions.
A live Chamber of Commerce could present the claims of Americus
and Sumter county in such away that they would be effective.
So why not re-organize the Chamber of Commerce tonight and let its
first work be to go after this national highway running “from the Hoos
ier State to Dixieland?”
Are you Interested in the future of Americus? Well, attend that
meeting tonight at 7:30.
Horse meat may not be a delicacy, but Austrian soldiers stationed
at Pzremysl say it beats auto tires all to pieces as a substitute for beef
steak.
Ask the first ten business men you meet tomorrow morning, "What
does Americus need more than anything just now?” We venture to sug
gest that none out of ten will say: “A live Chamber of Commerce.”
Certainly we have not forgotten that railroad extending from By
romville across the Flint into Americus. We’re still anxious for it and
ready to work for it.
Dame Fashion can be extremely unkind at times. Pity the poor lit
tle girlie with box ankles that is sored to wear a short skirt, just vecause
fashion decrees it.
A fashion magazine says: "Anything that looks old and quaint will
be in style.” Thanks for them “koind woirds”; now we can wear last
year's garments without fear of foe'ng out of style.
A news dispatch says that th? war has increased the price of sun
flower seed. Lucky for us we are not all parrots.
A Philadelphian tells us that the fox trot is good for insane peo
ple, We’re glad someone has discovered some real good for the new
wiggle.
A movement has been started in Chicago to make it a city of gardens.
If it were Milwaukee, we’d be willing to bet they referred to beer gar
ders.
NOBLEWOMEN OF
RUSSIA HELP' 111
RED GROSS GAMPS
(By Associated Press.)
PETROGRAI), March 30.—An inter
esting episode which occurred in a
1 street car on the Nevsky prospect a
few days ago serves to illustrate the
charitable and industrious character
of the Russian grand duchesses, who,
as is well known, have devoted them
selves to the work of nursing in the
military hospitals of the capital. A
wounded soldier in charge of a sister
of charity boarded a crowded car. It
was apparent that he was a convales
cent who bad been permitted to go
about for recreation and exercise in
charge of a nurse. As soon as a seat
was vacated, the sister insisted upon
her charge occupying it. A Russian
officer occupying a seat nearby pro
tested against a common soldier sit
ting in his presence.
“Please let him remain,” interposed
the sister. “I command him to take
the seat.”
“And who, pray, might you be,” re
torted the officer, “that you presume
to give orders?”
“That I cannot tell you,” came the
reply.
A civilian leaned over and whisper
ed something in the ear of 'he officer.
He arose, saluted and left the car at
the next stop. A short distance on the
sister and her charge alighted.
A Russian womani seated beside an
American woman long a resident of
Petrograd, turned to her neighbor an!
whispered: “The sister is the Grand
Duchess Olga. I know her face. Both
she and her sister the Grand Duchess
Tatian often go about to various hos
pitals incognito, doing whatever ser
vice falls to their lot, although they
ipass most of their time in the hospital
at Tsarskoye-Selo.”

s
(By Associated Press.)
COLOGNE, March: 30. —A glimpse of
<
the thoroughness with which the Ger
mans have established their encamp-
ment in the Vosges mountains is fur
nished by a correspondent of the Vo'- (
keszeitung who has just visited that
snow-covered region.
Adjacent to the mountain headquar- ,
ters he found a number of flourishing
industries for turning out necessities
of war, such as grenades, bombs snow ’
shoes, and alpine stocks. The huge
store house where were kept the gifts j
that had been sent to the soldiers was j
so large and orderly, with such a vari
ety of things, that it reminded him of
(
a department store. The government’s 1
I
careful system of “bookkeeping” con
cerning the movement of its troops
makes it possible for gifts of all sort 3
to be delivered with accuracy and ,
promptness.
Such articles, along with the huge
supplies that are needed', are trans
ported to the mountains by rail, and
then, because of the icy roads, are
transferred to mule teams. Horses, it
has been found, are almost entirely 1
unable to make the ascent over the 1
ice—and snow-covered paths, while *
the small-footed donkeys do it without 1
too great troubyle.
The food supplies are stored in 1
block houses, which are constantly 1
replenished, and other mule teams
daily haul to the front trenches pro
visions for each day. To prevent the
mules from making any noise en route,
the Germans have adopted unique
measures. Experience has taught
them that the animals for some un
known reason: invariably flirt their
tails in the air while they “squeal.”

Therefore the donkeys' tails are
weighted down with stones, and the
animals seem to be unable to utter a
sound.
The general in command of the
army in the Vosges, the correspondent
found, makes daily trips from his
headquarters to the forem,ost trenches,
and because of this is frequently mis
taken for a subordinate officer by the
soldiers.

Some Athletes ;
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
ATLANTA, Ga„ March 30.—The j
coming of bright spring weather has !
brought the college students out of j
the study halls to the campus, and re- j
ports of outdoor athletic sports are j
flooding the papers. But this season
the boys haven’t the field to them- '
selves. The girl students and their
teachers, especially at Brenau col
lege of Gainesville, Ga., are beginning
to realize the value of out-door exer
cise, and are gaining the peach-bloom
complexion on the grass plots in
stead of from a drugstore.
“It’s just as important that a girl
build up her physical side as her men
tal, and it’s just as much the duty of a
college to see that she does it,” said
President H. J. Pearce, of Brenau, re
cently, speaking of athletics for girls’
colleges. “I don’t mean to say that
college girls should play baseball and
football against the boys’ team, but
there are plenty of healthful outdoor
sports well fitted for girls, and we see
that they get the best out of them.”
