“WATCH PHILOSOPHY”
♦ An engine must be cleaned,oiled and cared for daily. A horse re
quires food, water and rest, or he refuses to work. An automobile
deprived of fuel oil and reasonable rare soon rebels. A watch, celi
cate, beautiful in construction, working every minute day and night,
without rest, yet some people seem to th.nk it should run for years
without being cleaned or reoiled. This is a mistake, dour watch
should be examined and cleaned once a year, then it will last a life
ttime. Let us care for and guarantee your watch.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
“THE JERSEY LILI”
PLM ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 9. —Mrs. Lang
, try, famous in song and story as "The
Jersey Lily,” arrives in Atlanta to
night, to appear tomorrow night in a
new play at th© Atlanta theatre.
Her real name in society is now
Lady de Bathe. She is as well known
as a society woman, horsewoman and
arbiter of fashions, as she is on the
stage.
One of the most remarkable stories
< f her charm relates to a time when
she was the guest of King Edward at
a banquet at which a number of ra
j.ihs and princes from India were en
tertained. She entered into conversa
tion with one of these dusky potentates
who was so overcome with her grace
and beauty that he exclaimed in rap
ture.
“Oh, Madam; if you were only fat
and black, yould would be perfect!” .
It was his idea of the highest com
pliment that could be paid.
THRIFTY liltli COLORED
MAN HEAD SAVANNAH BANK
GREAT SUCCESS OF PIONEER SAV
INGS BANK.
Probably few Americus people know
that the financial head and directing
genius of the pioneer negro savings
bank of Georgia is a young Americus
colored youth, Lucius E. Williams, who
was born and reared in Americus, as
were his thrifty and respected par
ents. His mother, Mary Williams, still
resides here. His father died when
he was a child, and his success in life
is due wholly to his own efforts.
He began his career in Americus as
a cotton brander in a local warehouse
and today is probably one of the weal
thiest colored men in Georgia, presi
dent of the Wage Earners Loan and
Investment Co., of Savannah, besides
having large realty and other inter
ests there,
The company owns and occupies a
handsome three-story brick building
cn West Broad street, and has an au
thorized capital of $50,000. The bank’s
loans and discounts, as shown by a re
cent statement, amounted to $185,940,
while it owns stocks and bonds aggre
gating over $17,000. The bank began
business in 1900 with $lO2. Today its
assets exceed more than $305,000, and
still increasing.
At the October meeting a dividend of
12 per cent, was declared and checks
mailed all stockholders. The success
of President Williams is a subject of
congratulation among his Americus
friends, both white and colored.

LIBERTt OF THIS
GOUNTRySPEAKS IN
CRIES TO EURBPE
RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 9.—A new and
greater Europe growing out of the
war now raging, with the peoples of
the warring nations coming at last to
a realization of the real liberty Amer
icans gained so long ago was pictured
last night by the Secretary of the In
terior, Franklin K. Lane, in an address
before the State Literary and Histor
ical Association of North Carolina.
“One half of the world is at war to
day,” said the Secretary. “We look
vith horror upon the inhumanity of
human nature and say to ourselves:
‘ls this all that Christianity has
brought? Have we made no further
progress than to make possible this
reversion to the days of Attila? What
has become of that sweet song of the
brotherhood of man? Was it but a
spiritual opiate sung to deaden the
soul of a brutal world Whither has
flown that sense of outrage against in
justice that men now die by the mil
lion because a prince was killed in
Servia?’
“But these are the words of an un
thinking despair. Surely our mem
ories have not failed us. We must look
back, look through this blinding storm
of fire and see the Europe that was,
and that will be again. Then there
was to be seen a pillar of fire leading
the multitude—England trying to re
gain her lands for her people—Ger
many threatened with a transfer of
political power from the few to the
many—Russia slowly emerging from
the middle ages with her groping
Duma—France, Laßelle France, gen
tle, gracious, glorious France, living
out the philosophy incorporated in the
first ten lines of our Declaration of In
dependence.
“Europe may burn up. Her people
may be blasted by bankruptcy. Her
national lines may be made to follow
new channels. Her industries may be
buried. Her sons may fall and the
blood and the brain of many an un
known Tolstoi, Beethoven, Pasteur or
Darwin may fertilize her shell-furrow
ed fields. She may set up for a day
new standards of national greatness.
But these, all these, cannot destroy the
passionate purposes of her people to
own themselves/ to find themselves
and to decide for themselves what
chains they will bear and what sacri
fices they will make. For chains and
sacrifices must be; these mean social
life, and only the anarchist derams of
a life without restraints. But Europe
knows that it may have what we Am
ericans long ago gained, that degree
o>' freedom in which sacrifice is made,
-consciously and proudly made—for
those and to those with whom we
have a common interest. And this is
liberty."
