It’s coming.
The Dollar Dinner will be a booster
Don’t be surprised ■when that Sun
day morning paper shows up.
A mosquito bit us just now, and come
to realize that Italy and Turkey are
at war.
At last, Mayor Bridges Smith has
opposition. We wouldn’t have though:
of it.
Some guy beat us to it, but we
meant to say it nevertheless —it’s al
most September Morn.
Eastman had her lights fixed by th J
state railroad commission. And they
can fix most anything, too.
“The men who think the most seri
ously of marriage, are already mar
ried,” is a discovery of the Macon
News.
Abe Reuf will be able to settle that
question about which is better —on
the inside looking in, or oiivlhe out
side looking in.
The best roads in the whole United
States are in Sumter county. We sav
it, but Editor Rainey heard somebody
else say it first.
Well, they’ve found another theory
for the murder of that Lutheran
preacher at Gary, Ind. So have we in
fact, found it first.
We never were so mad as yesterdav
when we couldn’t find Coley Blease's
picture. The “devil” must have chew
ed it up for an appetizer.
Mayor Jim Woodward says he don’t
fear the “recall movement.” We re
call that he didn't fear much when Col.
Bob Maddox gave him cause to fear.
That was a rare news item in which
it was announced that the British con
sul at Portland, Oregon, would be
transferred to New Orleans. It was
given more space than the fall of
Kiaswogdherygfsc.
We don't know what Franc Mangum,
on the Macon News will rave over
next. The Brunswick News announce !
that the “mullet season is now on."
’ I
which provokes said Mangum to loud
ly acclaim that "mullet is beyond all
doubt the grandest fish of all, espec
ially when stewed.” j
We really don’t understand all we
know r about this war. One day Brest-
Lltovsk will settle it all; the next the,
naval battle of the Gulf of Riga com
pleted the doom; and after awhile
England has a coal strike which puts
her on the blink. Sadly, we relate that
something that orter been done, ain”
been done.
.
The Sunday Paper
The Americus Times-Recorder will be issued seven days In the
week, beginning Sunday morning, August 29th.
The first Sunday morning issue of this paper since the change
from a morning to an afternoon paper will be made Sunday.
For the first time in the history of Americus, Sumter county and
Southwest Georgia journalism, she will have a daily paper published
seven days in every week.
The natural question follows as to the reason for the expansion of
the Times-Recorder. This we gladly tell you:
In an effort to accommodate our advertisers and give them the full
est opportunity possible of advertising their goods.
In an effort to give the public cf Americus, Sumter county and
Southwest Georgia, the best and latest news possible.
In an effort to keep apace with the growing section in which the
Times-Recorder circulates.
In an effort to serve the public in every manner possible.
These reasons are sufficient to prompt the Times-Recorder to give
its people a neswpaper—readable, live, up-to-date—36s days in the year.
The Sunday edition will be male a feature of the week’s news which
we chronicle, but by no means detracting one iota from the present
week-day paper. It will contain features of interest to its readers.
The first issue will make its debut Sunday.
The Associated Press service—the greatest news-gathering agency
in the world —will continue to furnish us the telegraphic new's service,
and with a corps of correspondents throughout the nation; picture
service; interesting stories—in fact, everything that goes to make a
live, readable Sunday newspaper.
We would remind you that only the metropolitan dailies publish
seven days in the week. We have brought the newspaper service to
Americus which cities of much larger size enjoy.
Watch for the Sunday edition, and every Sunday thereafter—for it
will grow in size, contents and greatness.
******* *************
THE SUNDAY AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
This is the beginning.
Believing firmly in the old adage e, “Sturdy oaks from little acorns
grow,” we have made the initial move—the first step.
For the first time in the history of Americus, Sumter County and
Southwest Georgia journalism, the public will have a HOME PAPER print
ed seven days in every week; 365 days in every year.
As time permits, no steps will be left unturned to make the Sunday
Americus Times-Recorder an interesting, live, up-to-date paper. And all
this we promise, without detracting from the regular editions in the after
noon during the six days o fthe week.
Today is the beginning, and tomorrow will mark efforts to increase
in size, power and contents.
There shall be a feature for every person in the home —the busines.-’
man will read it because it furnishes him information as to the financial
Conditions and outlook; the motheer will read it because it is interest
ing to spheres in which she lives and worships; the child will read it be
cause it has something special for him and her.
We want to give you a paper which you shall look forward to, and
know that when you miss it, you cycle of ’the week’s work is lacking—
there’s something missing somewhere.
YOU AND YOUR HORSE.
We are reminded to call attention
to the plight of the faithful horse—as
well as of the farm mule—during the
hot days of midsummer, there being a
broad realization that even the most
humane of us are apt to be forgetful.
It is a subject well worthy of timely
word each summer. The horse, as
faithful a friend as the dog, is dumb.
He has no means of protesting when
overly wearied because of your
thoughtlessness. You may drive him
to death if you will. His heart may be
breaking literally and actually, but
until it breaks and he falls to die he
cannot warn you of the impending
tragedy. He must trust to your hu
manitarism and judgement.
When you are overheated you make
for the nearest shade, a cooling drink
J a bath or a palm leaf fan.
When your horse is overheated he
continues in that state until you give
him relief or kill him.
The instances wherein horses are
killed in this manner are few and far
between. Almost always it is thought
i lessness, pure and simple. But that
does not help the horse. He is just as
■ dead on e way as another.
11 If we can. then, save a few dun?.
' brutes from suffering by a little kind
j ness, by thought in time, let's do it. —

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
“What’s the matter with Hoke?” in
quires Editor Phinizy in the Augusta
Herald.
“Frogs croak. Don’t be a croaker,”
is good advice from the Greensboro
Herald-Journal.
Chatham county will not have an
increase in their tax rate for 1915.
And Sumter neither.
i The movies had the picture, “A Fool
There Was.” We trust they didn’t
show every fool’s picture.
Raising tobacco is a profitable crop
—the figures show thim. Although
figures can’t lie, some liars are figur
ers.
At last, something good has come
out of Massachusetts. The words of
the governor condemning Blease pass
ed censorship.
“There is a woman in New York
giving what she terms the dance of the
sea. But the mist is missing," com
ments the Savannah Press.
Black hand letters shouldn't worry
Governor Harris. If he fought through
four long years during the sixties and
came out battle-scarred to live to this
good hour, there’s not a demoniac on
the face of the earth who could make
our pulse change their beat.
Editor Duke, of the Griffin News and
Sun, has the situation badly balled up
The facts are that Americus and Sum
ter county will have a Dollar Dinner
on September 14th. And the next sac.
is that twenty pretty young ladies will
prepare the dinner for Georgia Prod
ucts Day in November. Thank you for
the hinting, but a cordial invitation is
extended for you to attend the Dolla"
Dinner and the Georgia Products Din
ner—both, as the witness to the fact
that the editor will attend.
THE NEWSPAPER TftLK |
Editor Leroy Hirschburg, who ha:
conducted the Marion County Patriot
for several years, has sold the paper
to T. A. D. Weaver. Mr. Hirschburg
is a strong writer.—Cuthbert Leader.
Galveston has gone through another
flood, and shows its usual dauntless
courage in going to work to repair th;,
damage done, without thought of giv
ing up.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
Governor Harris says Georgia is
fully able to handle her affairs in re
gard to the hanging of Leo Frank
and that the less the Yankee press
has to say about it the better it will
be. It is a Georgia affair and Geor
gia alone should handle it.—Earl/
County News.
In order to keep on the safe side
of things, the average man is more
frequently puzzled over what not to
do than as to what to do.—Albany Her
old.
The diplomatic “elocution” to which
Colonel Roosevelt objects seems to
have been effective enough on militar
istic Germany.—Atlanta Journal.
One of these days the paragraphs
of the Macon Telegraph is going to
wake up and find that he has the
p. i. p.—Waycross Journal-Herald.
We are sorry to lose Cranston Wil
liams as associate editor of the Her
old-Journal, but pleased to know that
he gets a good position as editor of a
splendid daily paper. He is a hustler,
w’hen it comes to the newspaper game,
and is one of the brightest and spiciest
paragraphers in Georgia—J. E. F.. in
Richland Philosophy.
The truth is always sad, which
makes it all the more sadder. But here
goes some as related in the Greens
boro Herald-Journal: “TJie editor of
a country paper in Texas announcea
one w'eek ago that he was going to
print in his next issue the name and
picture of the most gossipy “long
tongued” woman in the town. But the
editor did not make good his promise:
within an hour after the paper was
bailed, all the doctors in the commun
ity were battling frantically with 27
cases of nervous prostration, while
27 different husbands armed with shot
guns were lined up just outside the
door of the editor’s office.”
Editor E. L. Rainey, of the Dawson
News and a prominent member of the
State Prison Commission, welcomed
the new editor to the land of prosper
it yand God’s country, in a visit yes
terday to the sanctum. We are pre
pared to state that the Good Lord
must have had his whole attention oa
south Georgia when, he made it.
