Tomorrow is the day for the city

Our calendar has 25 in red letters for
November. Just like cranberries.

Candidates were scarce when this
paragraph was written—(but they al
ways turn up.)
Two hours and forty four minutes
have elapsed, and we haven’t heard
from Cole Belase.
Field Marshal Kitchener has gone to
the east, and we’ll hear something
from that quarter now.
Helen Rowland says “It’s the human
touch that makes a house a home.”
And the inhuman lick, too.
The Rotary Edition of the Macon
Telegraph was a cerdit to the paper,
to the organization, to the city and to
the Fair.
There was a time in South Carolina
when military companies were needed
for negroes only, but the whites take a
hand these days.
That was a German bomb which set
Secretary Daniel’s newspaper on fire.
We just know it. everything bad that
happens—they done it.
The Twelfth District Fair is on at
Dublin. Yes, and about this time next
year they’ll be talking about the Third
District Fair at Americus.
That tide which is said to flow' in.
every man’s affairs, is run over with
the jabber of the dear females. Talk,
talk, and there she goes again.
The authoritative source of all such
information states that all girls shut
their eyes when they kiss. And you
know we’ve never noticed that.
You’ll have to hand it to Sir Robert
Lansing on that note to Great Brit
lan. It was straight to the point—and
that’s better than some folks can talk.
Gaty Deslys arrival in this country
with one hundred and eighty trunks
containing her personal wardrobe. She
can’t be popular with all those clothes
on.
A medical authority says that girls
would be prettier if they ate onions and
less candy. We’ll buy a hospital for
faces before we’ll submit for such
means to beauty.
We just don’t believe that the boss
has a thing to do with all that shifting
which is going on in the first column
of the Macon Telegraph’s editorial
page. There is a fellow—J. D. S.—
who we think is present when most jf
i’ is going on.
THE EMPTY STOCKING FUND.
As has been the custom of the Amer
icus Times-Recorder for several years
past, it will mak an effort to assist in
every way possible in providing for the
needy during Christmas season.
Again will the Empty Stocking Fund
be conducted by this paper, and in a
few weeks the campaign will be begun
for raising funds in the interest of the
r.cedv. The Associated Charities have
had this money given to them a few
days before Christmas, and they dis
pose of it in away to assist the chil
dren whom Santa Claus might not find
time to look after.
No higher cause could be brought to
the attention of the public, and it is
I
needless to comment on the many reas
ons why every person should contrib
ute to this cause.
Mighty nations are at war, and in
that glad season of Christmastide they
must bow their heads in grief for the
loved ones who are dead —gone. But,
■
here in the great land of America—
free, loving and thoughtful, there is no
occasion for us to be selfish.
In a few days we will make an
nouncements concerning the fund and
begin publication of the contributors.
“SOMETHING TO OFFER.”
With a united stand the press of the
eastern section of the state is pulling
with a vengeance for the esatern route
cf the Dixie Highway. The Savannah
Morning News is prominent among the
newspapers which are driving their
side of the question.
It appears as if the Dixie Highway
is a bone of contention for all parts of
the state.
Good roads are the makers of travel.
The Dixie Highway might leave Geor
gia out of its route, and if Georgia had
the best roads to a point, the tourists
would come this way.
The mere name and route of the
Dixie Highway does not make travel—
’ the roads of the Dixxie Highway bring
people over them.
More or less discontent over the im
pression which seemed to have gained
so much headway over the western
route—through Americus and Sumter
county—has been heard. But, this is of
far less importance than would be im
agined. Sumter county has the roads
—good roads, and the best roads.
Tourists will come through Sumter
county with her good roads despite
i highways, by-ways or hedges.
Anda s far as the newspapers in east
Georgia bringing out the argument of
“something to offer’ ’in scenery, his
torical points—the “something to offer”
| is what the counties must have —good
roads.
THE LATEST NOTE.
Whatever may be said about the neu
trality of the American as an individ
ual it must be admitted by every clear
seeing man that the United States
Government is neutral. No more
magnificent characters in all history
can be found than President Wilson
and Secretary of State Robert Lans
ing.
With that poise of statesmanship
i which has inscrolled their names
among living pages of history, they
will ever be known as public men of
character, beliefs and upholders of
right.
An evidence of this is the latest
note sent to Great Britain, which was
made public Monday. The note may
not contain such expressions as “de
liberately unfriendly,” but there is
no reason for such harsh terms. .Am
erica is dealing- with Great Britain
in the matter of commerce, and not
human lives. When she spoke to Ger
many it was necessary to employ
such terms as would denote finality,
conclusion and all, unchangeableness.
Germany was ruthlessly scattering
human blood on the seas which bound
Europe; she was taking a fearful toll
of human life—it became imperative
that she be brought to her senses. j
But what more sublime language is
recorded in our state papers than;
' The Government of the United States
desires to impress most earnestly up
on His Majesty’s government that It
must insist that the relations between
it and His Majesty’s Government be
governed ,not only by a policy of ex
dediency, but by those established
rules of international conduct upon
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
1 which Great Britain in the past has
held the United States to account
w ben the latter nation was a bellig
erent engaged in a tsruggle for nat
tional existence. . . The (British)
blockade is ineffective, illegal and in
defensible.”
This is an extract from the note
which has gone to King George. What
more can be said—the blockade is
ineffective, illegal and indefensible.
The German-Amercan press unite
in complimenting the note as to its
r truthfulness,but they regret its delay.
I The lateness of the note is laid di
uctly at the fest of the Germ.Li gov
! ernment —their beastly policy took
human life, and man comes before
i
chattel.
The great service which the United
States is rendering to the weaker neu
tral nations will give her policy a
place in history. She “unhesitatingly
assumes” the task of championing the
integrity of neutral rights.
The United States is entangled in a
Ifearful game, but she is playing the
! cards which she has been dealt in a
I straight, clear and proud manner.

it to “festival or burst.”—Alpharetta

President Wilson has not appointed
a day to be observed in prayer for
peace in Europe for several months.
It is supposed that he believes like

praying to the Creator for peace as
long as our ammunition factories are
working on double time and are
months behind with the orders.—San
