The call for the National Guards to
a
hurry home is becoming more volum
inous.
s
Germany is making rapid headway
in the manufacture of additional guns.
So the allies had better speed up.
"Britian Ready to Help Russia,”
says a headline. We’re ready for the
millions which we never will have.
Thomas W. has been given
the opportunity to tell what he knows,
or admit he doesn’t know nothing.
It’ll be all right for you to make
another resolution as long as this is
pretty close around the first of the
year.
"The Mad Monk” of Russia, with the
curious influence over the Czar is said
to have passed away. Another war
loss for the Allies.
The newspaper men of the country
should give sharp attention to the pro
posal in congress to increase the rates
on second class mail matter.
Nearly two millions have been ap
propriated for the Savannah harbor,
which is a deserved recognition for
the Georgia port.
We're for Rome for the government j
armor plant site. Bring it here—and
let it rest on the banks of the Eto
wah, the Coosa and the Oostanaula.
A French ex-general has rejoined the
army as a private. That’s patriotism
and a remarkable comparison with the
call for the National Guards when ev
eiybody wanted to be an officer.
The Camp Sumter of Confederate
Veterans e very appreciative of the
attention which the people of the city
and section have paid them during the'
past year. A crowning event of 1916,
was their state reunion held in this.
city, marked with a success which will
long be remembered.
The appointment of 0. H. H. Blood
worth, of Forsyth, on the court of ap
■peals, by Governor Harris, meets with!
general approval over the state. He
led the ticket in the recent primary for
the judgeships on the court, still he
was deprived on the nomination by the
convention. Many friends over the
state fee! that a just reward has been
visited upon a good man. who will
make an excellent judge.
A PRETTY KETTLE OF FISH.
The smell is reaching over Georgia,
and the odor will doubtless permeate
the nation.
A federal judgeship is being juggle !
with, and a scene is being enacted.
The judiciary will certainly feel the
pangs and ill effects of recent events
in Georgia over the speculations on a
federal judge for the southern district
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge W. W. Lamblin.
What’s coming next is hard to tell.
Will it be ermine which the appoin
tee will wear?
It is bad enough to tamper with pol
itical appointments in the executive
and judicial branches of our govern
ment, but to allow its poisonous fangs
to invade the judiciary is unbearable.
There are scores of men who could
be named for the federal judgeship in
south Georgia without a whisper of
criticism. These men are loath to en
ter an arena where politics seem to
be all.
The "authentic, but official" appoint
ment of W. W. Osborne, of Savannah,
has provoked an interesting battle.
Whatever status the affair seems to
have, must be born of Senator Hard
wick. Senator Smith has virtually
said that he would assent to the selec
tion of the junior senator.
ARE YOU BUSY!
The frequent greeting is—"l am
very busy.”
Are you really busy as compared
with the arduous duties of other peo
ple.
There is one person who is busy if
t.e does what he is expected to do —and
he usually performs the tasks with j
credit. In this country there are ,
Demonstrators J. G. Oliver and W. J.
Boyett. In other sections, various
agents perform these same tasks. I
Read the things which the demon- i
strators do —and now are you really ,
busy? Here they are: ■
"The agent can render service
along the following lines: Con
struction of silos, dairy barns,
hog pens, poultry houses and other
farm buildings and supply plans
and data on cost of construction,
installation of drains, irrigation
weirs, pumping plants and cost
data connected with them; live
stock breeding and sources of
good sires and dams; supplying in
formation of market conditions;
supply and demand of stock and
good seed for sale or exchange;
soil problems, water and other
troubles; crop improvement, stan
dardization, diseases and insect
pests; planning crop rotations and
weed control; organizing the farm
business for greater profit; keep
ing farm accounts; cow testing;
controlling live stock diseases, and
assisting the bureau in investi
gating proposed special lines of
ork and in their organization,
where advisable. He will get spec
ialists to assist in the work he is
unable to handle himself.”
WHOSE BUSINESS!
If the congress of the United States
sjient as much time on the business
which the people expect them to trans
act as they do in attending to things
totally outside of their sphere, much
1 1 ss knowledge, things would work
1 much better for congress and the peo
ple.
I
| Working presumably on the hypothe-
I
! sis that most elections are crooked
and that almost every candidate is in
clined towards crookedness, congress
. has started out to limit campaign
' funds —and in doing so regulate the
[conduct of newspapers. There must
jbc an evil, and a stinking one. else the
smoke would not have been created.
A news dispatch yesterday relates
the following purposes of the revise!
corrupt practices bill laid before the
fcenate:
Newspapers or periodicals
charging for political advertis
ing in excess of normal commer
cial advertising rates or refusing
'I non-libelous political advertise
' ments offered at such rates, when
1 it opens its columns to other polit-
I ical advertising, would be denied
I the use of the mails for thirty
days.
Further the measure provides
■> that no publication shall publish
- gratuitously in any way, any polit
ical matter during a campaign, ex
-1 cept that written by its own em
ployees unless the matter is sign-
J ed by the real name of the author,
5 and that no political advertising
1 matter intended to influence an
t election shall be published unless
1 marked as “paid advertising mat
ten” with the name of the can
didate or committee presenting it
attached.
Entre! The duty of congress is to
cinduct the newspapers of the country
as it regards as their public and pol
itical interests.
Congress has a newspaper (?) of her
own—the Congressional Record. If as
much time w r as spent in seeking ways
to make that publication really worth
while as they seem to consume in
running other businesses, then the
country would profit immensely on the
financial side of the ledger.
As yet, we haven’t heard of any plans
to regulate the contents of liquor cir
culars. Very few efforts seem to have
been made to make the franking priv
ileges an honest medium in the inter
est of the nation.
The people of this nation are paying
the bills, and congress is having the
run.
If the nswspapers of the country;
acted in an apparent demand for de- ’
fensive acts, there might be a “trust- I
basting suit”—for concerted efforts
among the newspapers seem to be es-j
s< ntial to laying the real truth before’
the public.
John A. Fort, of this city, is receiv
ing the congratulations of many friends
on his appointment by Governor Har
ris as solicitor-general of the South
western circuit. A young man has
been honored with a responsible posi
tion, especially with important cases
of more or less interest in the dockets
of the several courts of the circuit.
ATLANTA GOLF TEACHER
GETS JAPANESE PUPIL
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 3.—That the
fame of Stewart Maiden, the canny
Scot who teaches members of the At
lanta Athletic Club to play the ancient
and royal game of golf, has spread
around the world, would seem to be in
dicated by the arrival here of H. Oh
e.shi. a rich Japanese of New York and
Tokio, to place himself under Maid
en’s instruction.
Miss Alexa Stirling, Atlanta’s golf
marvel who startled the country a tew
months ago by winning the National
Woman’s Championship, was trained
by Stewart Maiden, and so was “Little
Bob” Jones, the 14-year-old prodigy
who threw a terrific scare into the best
golf players in the country by his
v'hirlwind playing in the National Am.
ateur Championship in Philadelphia
last summer.
Maiden is the most reticient individ
ual that ever came out of Scotland,
while Ohashi is not the least bit un
communicative; and the two are get
ting on together fine.
A THOROUGH TEST
One to Coinince the Most Skeptical
Americus Reader.
The test of time is the test that
that counts.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Americus residnts should be con
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed —the
proof is complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig
nored.
W. A. Hardin, grocer, Elm Ave. and
Hill St., Americus, says: "I had se
vere pains in my back which were al
most unberable at times. The kidney
secretions were too frequent in pas
sage and highly colored. 1 tried
Doan’s Kidney Pills and got relief
from the first. Continued use removed
I the pains in my back and the action of
|my kidneys became regular.” (State
' ment given March 8, 1910.)
Little Trouble Since.
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr.
Hardin said: "Doan's Kidney Pille
cured me a few years ago and I am
glad to again recommend them to oth
er sufferers from kidney trouble.”
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
I 'Gan's Kidney Pills —the same that
Mr. Hardin has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,

1 ONE THOUSAND GAME COCKS
i TO BE SHIPPED TO MEXICO
i ———
, ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 3. —One thous
and game cocks purchased for the
amusement and edification of Carranza
soldiers in Mexico will be shipped from
Atlanta in the next r ew days in a
special car. having been secured in
this city and surrounding country by
Carranza agents armed with real
American money.
In addition to the financial repre
sentatives of the de facto president
who wrote the checks, there are three
Mexican cock-fighting experts in the
city who personally selected the rost
' ers and who will accompany them on j
j their long journey to the land of etern-|
al revolution.
It seems that practically all; the
chickens in Mexico, both game and oth
erwise, have been used up in the
I course of the latest disturbance, and
that Carranza must have a fresh sup
ply to keep his soldiers happy and
contented with the Sunday "mains’’
which they love so well.
And it is reported on reliable auth
ority that agents of Villa are now
s< mring the state of South Carolina
for game cocks to amuse the soldiers
of the bandit chieftan.
The people whose advertisements
you read in this paper are on the level,
They i e not ufraid of tueir goods.
