It can be said of the undertaker; he
is slow, but sure.
The candidate who hits below the
belt deserves to be defeated.
The gray-haired man may say dye,
but the bald-headed one, never.
The English have turned the tables.
Germany is now the victim of a “shell
game.”
We don’t believe in furnishing the
other fellow with the means to whip
us with.
If happiness was as easy to find as
trouble, what a happy old world this
would be.
An onion by any other name re
mains an onion still, as does a cab
bage-head.
The paragrapher and the para
grafter are species common to the
newspaper game.
The office-hunter Is like a fellow
with the itch. It takes lots of scratch
ing to get relief. s
The reason for the yellow journal
is because people had rather read of
scandal than success.
Never marry a man to reform him,
girls. It’s too much like trying to
make a good omelette out of bad eggs.
The crow the Colonel ate was pre
pared in the old fashioned way, with
out any frills or furbelows—just plain
crow.
The tax equalization law is one of
the best ever put upon the books of
the state and should be allowed to re
main there.
If Uncle Sam would untangle his
bundle of red tape, he could then, per
haps, equip his new army, and that
much more quickly .
God made men,
And men make schools,
Schools make wise men,
And sometimes fools.
If this country aids in financing
Mexico, she will be sure to regret it.
It looks as though it was about time
we were learning our lesson about
Mexico and Mexican things.
This is a good time for the citv
officials to see to it that the sanitary
laws are enforced. Garbage cans left
exposed and unremoved for a week or
more is not conducive to the good
health of the community.
The old Sunday school catechisms
taught us that God made man. If
this is true, He made Tom Watson. We
are also taught that God makes nc
mistakes. This can’t be true, or else
He did not make W’atson.
NOT ENOUGH GLORY.
The Georgia prohibition law which
d became eeffetive on May Ist woulc
** have been passed had there never ap
peared such a person on the flittine
t stage of Georgia politics as Dr. C
t W. Eichelberger, T. B. Felder, etc.
and like calibre.
But it is extremely disgusting
among the real and true prohibition
ranks of Georgia to find a side lint
attraction for the amusement of the
whole state, with lie, the oath, the ver
*' acity—all thrown in a common pot, foi
s the battle.
” Somehow or other we cannot re-
- train from thinking that these tw;
* ambition peas—Eichelberger and Fel
der, could not find enough glory anc
honor in the cause for each to bear a
laudable share. Therefore, it becamt
0 necessary for a Brutus. The great
5 honor of vindicating and upholding
® Georgia’s laws was only enough so.
one man—and either Eichelberger o:
J Felder must go their way. Ant
whither goest thou?
And further than that, we have an
idea that the financial status of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League did not
r provide as lucrative salary for each—
Eichelberger and Felder, as it was de
sired. And, people will curse, fight,
and swear, because of money.
We are better prohobitionists than
either Eichelberger or Felder, because
e we are not in the game “for revenue
only.” Georgia’s good prohibitionists
should clean out the contaminating
5 associates which will forever make
Georgia a laughing-stock.
Glory and money—neither was suffl
’• cient to properly care for the feelings
and high sounding prohibition love of
Dr. Eichelberger and Felder.
FACTORIES BUILD TOWNS.
} Industrial and commercial enter
> prises are the industries that mean
the most for the growth and prosper
ity of a town.
. Money invested in such enterprises
j has a greater development power than
in any other investment. Not only
does the man who invests his money
. get dividends, or interest on his
money, but he has the satisfaction of
knowing that he has helped the town
and community by giving employment
. to others. The man who takes his
} thousand or so dollars and invests in
stocks or bonds, or cotton futures, if
you please, and accumulates an im
, mense fortune is worth but little to a
. community, unless he re-invests his
money in enterprises that give em
ployment to men, giving to the town a
I payroll, and thus augmenting its
: wealth.
The man who puts his money in in
dustrial enterprises, in factories, so to
’ speak, is a town and community
' builder. He is a benefiactor to his
■ people, and should receive his mead
of praise and encouragement.
What the South needs today is more
industrial enterprises. She needs fac
tories, to give employment to her peo
fle and to encourage others to come
! and cast their lot with us. And she
t will never really come into her own
- until we break from the old custom of
letting well enough alone, and enter
new fields of endeavor. Right here in
■ Americus, we need factories. There
- are several kinds that could be estab
t lished here and be made to pay,
prime among which we need, an 1
should have, a cotton mill, jj’e need
it to manufacture the cotton that is
produced right at our door. This is
the banner cotton growing section of
the state, and yet we have no mill,
while in other sections of. Georgia
? are mills in towns much smaller than
. this, and in sections where the produc-
* tion of cotton is much less. These
t mills are profitable to these sections;
then why can't they be made profit
able here? They can. Our people have
v only to wake up and get out of the
y old rut of self-satisfaction and grasp
t the opportunities that are before
r them.
d Until something of this kind is
done, the future growth of Americus
is going to be exceedingly slow. She
s has reached the zenith of her glory, as
t it were, unless her people do some
e thing to produce new life and en
o courage those who would come and
io abide with us.
Right here in Americus and Sumtoi
WHEN A GIRL IS SIXTEEN.
h As we look for the flowering of a'
d plant, we surround it with all the ai.-
>- and sunshine that we can for its best
g unfolding. We expect fruit from the
J. tree, and wait for the moth with
:., wings of gorgeous color to emerge
from the dull prison of its gray co
g coon.
n But Dorothy, at 16, the flowering
e period of her life, puzzles us. We find
e it hard to understand the transition
•- stage of childhood and find the wings
>r of life that will carry her away from
us; or help to keep her w'ell balance
j- at home.
O Dorothy, a few months ago, was as
1- free in her work and in her play as a
d colt and as thoughtless. Long braids,
a wind blown, her short gingham skirts
ie flying about the strong young limbs
it that took her on long races over the
g hills with her mates she was just your
little girl. Today she is a change
ir ling. You cannot believe that she is
,d yours. You wonder if you have lost
her.
n She spent last Saturday sewing at
ea friend’s house and she came home
>t to supper with her skirt lengthened to
- her shoe tops. She brought a fashion
>- sheet with her and she was late son
t, Church Sunday morning because she
spent so much time doing up her
n brown locks in the latest mode that
e she had seen pictured. When you
n scolded her for it, she blished guiltily,
s and then she grew' darkly sullen, as if
g she were of a mind to dress herself
e now as she wished, not as you wish.
After service she met the new bank
- clerk and they walked part way home
s together. And Dorothy but yesterday
° was csornful of boys. She would go
cut of her way to avoid .meeting one.
Already impatient of her home
Dorothy says that she wants to go to
the city to try to get work in some
_ big moving picture studio. She says
t that if she is not allowed to go away
_ from the country she will run away.
Will this girl ever come back; will
3 our girls be ours again, after this
! mighty travail of adolescence, and the
y birth struggle of her dawning sex is
Y the inquiry of every mother at this
3 stage in daughter’s life?
f Os course, she will. She is with you
i new, in spirit. Her very endeavor to
t cut home apron strings shows how
5 much she needs the home at this
> period and how much the home can do
f for her.—Woman’s World.

I ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR CONGRESS.
. To the Voters of the Third Congress
ional District of Georgia:
I hereby announce my candidacy for
election as your Representative, from
' the Third Congressional District of
Georgia, to the Sixty-fifth Congress,
; subject to the primary to be held
September 12, 1916, and respectfully
solicit your support to this position.
If nominated and elected, I pledge
1 myself and the best energies I am ca
i pable of exerting to your every inter
: est, and especially to procure for you:
1. —The co-operation of the National
government with the several states in
the enforcement of their prohibition
■ laws to the extent of denying applica
, tion for license to manufacture or sell
i Intoxicating liquors in such states,
, and the procurement of such neces
sary changes as will prohibit the
shipment of intoxicating liquors in
prohibited territory; and will earnest- J
■ ly advocate every legal measure that 1
- will tend to procure for the whole
people National Prohibition. j
2. —I will support such rural credit
legislation as will actually give to
the farmers of our country the relief
i that has been so often promised, by
i making available to them, with good
[ security on land or cotton, long loans
of money at low rates of interest, such
loans to be made directly by the gov
! ernment to the farmers.
3. —I will favor a sufficiently equip- .
ped army and navy to command peace
! at home and respect abroad, and the
manufacture of our navy and army
’ equipment by the government.
4. —The restriction of immigration
at least to the extent of requiring im
migrants to register, giving a I infor- ,
. mation necessary as to their previous
lives, and the signing of a pledge that
' within three months after entering
our country they will become citizens
i in a legal way.
5. —A complete separation of all af
fairs of church and state.
6. The extension of the Rural Free
' Delivery system and the Improvement 1
of the Parcel Post system, to the end ■
that the rural districts throughout the
country may be benefittted thereby.
I purpose to conduct my campaign
on a high plain. I do not desire to bo
elected on the demerits of others, but
on my merit alone.
My campaign headquarters will be
at Americus, Georgia, where my sec
retary or I wil> be glad to welcome
and advise with friends at all times,
and, if elected by the good people of
this district, I promise to faithfully
discharge the duties of this great of- .
flee with fidelity to your every interest. 1
Respectfully,
T. G. HUDSON.
FOR CONGRESS. »
To the Voters of the Third Congress- i
ional District:
I hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for re-election as your Rep
resentative in the Sixty-Fifth (65th)
Congress, subject to the primary to be
held on September 12th.
During the short time 1 have been
your congressman, I have sincerely en
deavored to serve you faithfully, and
if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, I will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support in the com
ing election. Congress has been in al
most continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as I wished. The
Ways and Means committee is now
daily working on a revenue measure;
being on that committee, I must re
main here until the new tax law is
passed. As soon as Congress adjourns,
or bifore then, if public business will
permit me to leave, I expect to canvass
the District, meet the people personal- <
ly and talk to them face to face, both
individually and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to discharge
the duties of the great office with fldel- '
. ity and to the best of my ability.
From the depths of my heart, I
thank you for your past kindness to I
me. Cordially yours
CHARLES R. CRISP. I
For Solicitor-General.

Judicial Circuit:

( re-election to the office of Solicitor-
General of the Southwestern Circuit;
subject to the primary of September
12th, 1916. In doing so, I wish to

• corded me, and solicit their kind sup
port of my candidacy for re-election;

and impartial discharge of the duties
