Heys, Deputy Clerk of the Superior court of said county, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the application for charter of the Third District Agricultural Fair as the same appears on file in this of fice. Witness my official signature, and the seal of said court, this the 6th day of April, 1916. S. R. HEYS, Deputy Clerk S. C„ Sumter County. Ga. GEORGIA'S GOING ORT 0» M FIRST ATIaANTA, Ga., April 28.—Next Mon day morning at one minute after twelve o’clock the state of Georgia i gees dry. People may have thought Georgia was dry in the past, but the drought they have experienced was like the rainy season in the tropics compared to the drought that is coming. Georgia’s new prohibition laws, which go in effect May the first, are REAL prohibition laws leaving no loop hole for evasion either by would be violators or by indifferent officials charged with their enforcement. Beer saloons in Atlanta that have been selling the same kind of beer for; years that was sold before the present i prohibition law went in effect are; ' preparing to go out of business and rent signs are up in front of their doors. | Clubs of low and high degree are making their plans to comply with the I prohibition law, at least for the pres ent. The clubs that are saloons in disguise will have no leg to stand on when the law goes in effect and will automatically be forced out of busi ness, since their sole revenue is de- ■j rived from the promiscuous sale of' J liquor. But the -real social ciubs whose j : membership is composed of men of i , standing in the community and whose ! J dues and case profits may be stretched j far enough to pay their operating ex ! penses, will undoubtedly be hit hard Iby the lass of profits from serving ; of drinks to members, yet they have re arranged their finances in preparation for the abolishment of bars and buffets. Weekly and monthly magazines on the news stands show blank spaces where whiskey advertisements would appear if it were not for the law against the advertising of intoxicants, land daily newspapers published out- I ot the state are also dropping out their j liquor advertisements in advance of the effective date of the new Georgia laws. The peojile whose advertisements I »< ii read in this paper are on the level!. Thej'ie not afraid of toelr goods. ADVERTISING I I ( I Must be right to inspire confidence. Its jcc its worth, its success depends ; upon the truth of every spoken or written ; word about ic. Advertising must be per- ' sistent, regular and truthful. ; A correct timepeace is something to 1 depend upon. You prize it, swear by it, ! don’t you? The regularity of the constant- < ly moving hand keeps the correct time. If < the hands stop you have no time. The ! same way with advertising day after day, driving home the truthful facts through ! the Times Recordei is sure to bring you i the same kind of customers as you have goods to sell. TELEPHONE 99 I CCUNTRT COUSINS TIKf IN ATLANTA GRANO OPERA ATLANTA, Ga., April 28.—“ Our Country Cousins” and other relatives and friends and acquaintance have come to the city this week to take in the grand opera. It’s a big show and Atlanta has put on her “best bib and tucker’’ to see and be seen. Hundreds of the boys in their swallow-tails and the girls bedecked in roses and rib bons are “among those present.” They are having a real musical time. Lots of pretty women, fine music, prom enading up and down the aisles during intermission and all that sort of thing. It comes a little high, but you get your xuoney’s worth, even if you don’t know what the singers are saying. FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1»1J \ AiTWWTrJffWI iBSBSDI
