than anxious that there should be more,

management of the Times-R Recorder re-
CARDS it's we'll filed pages and hand
some appearance as it goes forth to
hundreds of readers IN this and other
cities. And we may likewise be par
doned IN saying that it is the best news
paper Americus has ever had. For
six years, under the present manage
ment, it has grown in strength and Wig
or, while It's field of usefulness Is con-
stantly being enlarged That it is ap-
preciated by the business public is well
attested in lis advertising columns,
while glance at it's subscription list
will suffice to tell what the reading pub
lie thinks of il. The Times
Is essentially the paper of the people,
not alone the people of Americas, but
OF southwestern Georgia It stands for
honesty, right and justice. 1t owes no
man dollar and only asks for justice
and honesty at the hands of others. 1t
goes forth each morning with unceas-
ing regularity, year in and year out
It never suspends publication, never
disappoints its patrons, but continues
on from season to season recording
the history of this city and section,
as evidenced by its bound volumes ex-
tending back over a long period of
wears. No other paper in Americas
could write such a record OF itself
The people of Americas and southwest
ern Georgia appreciate such paper,
and the management of the Times-Re-
corder is glad indeed that it merits
their confidence, their esteem and their
patronage.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Schwab informs
British producers that the American
steel trust can deliver steel billets in
England for $3.50 per ton, whereas
the lowest price for which British
manufacturers could make them was
$40. Our tariff laws and the laws I'M
der which trusts are permitted to ex-
ist are much more protection to the
foreign than to the American con-

to sell his goods to Americans as
cheapIy as he wishes, but he can buy
American manufactures much cheap

A GOOD GOLD TEA" STORY.

The prohibition laws of this state,
and of all other states, are constantly
violated, and they are violated as much
by so-called prohibltionists as by the
ants. Blind tigers abound in every pro-
hibition county in Georgia, and "cold
tea, sold on the sly, Is popular bev-
erage In peruslng the columns of the
Buffalo Times we read {" coId tel" story
that comes from Goldsmith, Ind.
There was an Old Settlers picnic the
other day, and chap sold wagon
load of half pint bottles to the farmers,
telling each purchaser with mystic
rious wink, that the bottles contained
"cold tea" The old settlers, and the
sons of old settlers, purchased generous
ly thereof, and soon the stock of the
thrifty peddler was exhausted. When
the buyers repaired to a conveniently
secluded spot to test the quality of their
beverage, they fonnd they had pur-
chased-cold tea.
Upon making this disc overy they all
straghtway HE'D themselves to q pro-
vincial magistrate, and the vendor was
arrested on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. But the
learned judge before whom he appear
ed held that the goods sold were true to
name, that the only deception was in
the wink, and that winking is not an
indictable offense. So much for the In
diana solon. No wonder that the peo-
pie of that state are called Hoosiers.
But there is another view to be taken
of the transaction. The Hoosiers afore-
said, in accusing the peddIer of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, ac-
knowledged that they believed that
they were not purchasing cold tea, but
something else - presumably They
were troubled by no conscientious
scruples while they were-as they be-
lieved-aiding and abetting another in
violation of the excise laws. It was only
when discovered that they had be
come a prey to their own lack of pro-
bity, and that the adroit peddler had
taken advantage of his knowledge of
human nature as exemplifed by an
Indiana Hoosler, that they waxed
wroth, and fain would have had the
fellow who fooled them punished by
the law for which they so suddenly
developed mighty respect.
But the Indiana Hoosiers are after all
very much like the rest of mankind,
to whom the Lord referred when he
said: Chou hypocrite, first cast out
the beam of thine own eye, and then
thou shalt see clearly to cast the mote
out of thy brothers eye" = Macon
