One more billion dollar congress
has passed into history. Billion dol
lar congresses are becoming rather
the rule now than otherwise. This
country is getting SO large and there
are so many imperative calls on the
national finances, that the mere fact
of congress having appropriated this
huge sum of money is not enough to
convict it of extravaganza. The ques-
tion is whether we have gotten the
worth of our money. The money we
have, and we can afford to spend it if
it is spent wisely. Two monster bat
tleships were authorized for the navy
with the hearty approval of the Pres
ident. They will cost probably $15,-
100000 each before they are in com
mission, and they may meyer have to
fire shot in anger. Bnt they are a
sort of insurance paid for interna-
tional peace, and as such are cheap.
The artillery corps has been enlarged,
the service pension bill has been
passed. Over $sO,O00,OOO has been
appropriated for river and harbor i'm
provement. Congressional and cabl-
net salaries haye been raised, postal
salaries increased and more money
appropriated for our diplomatic and
consular service. No fault can be
found with any Of these measures on
the score of extrayagance. They
were all measures that were needed,
and the only thing that remains is to
be thankful that we had the money
TO spend.

RURT'S THEATRE.

1.-THE Convict's Daughter" the sue
cessful and popular comedy drama,
comes to the Burt on Sunday after
noon for half week. 1t is interest
ing and intense throughout. From
the rise of the curtain the expectation
and suspense of the audience Is kept
at high pitch by constant success
sion of thrilling situations which are
worked out very cleverly. The play is
entirely free from situations which
cannot be reconclled to human con-
sistency, and in comparison it ranks
far above plays of a like nature. A
liboral amount of comedy is inter-
spersed to keep up the interest. The
piece has real merit and with the ex-
ceptionally strong cast specially en-
gagged to interpret the same, should,
and undoubtedly will, pack the house
at every performance.

OPERA COMPANY Is
WARMLY ENDORSED
Will Appear This Afternoon
and Night.

Much interest is being manifested
in the coming of the Beggar Prince
Opera Company to Americas today.
Both afternoon and night performan-
ces will be given The attraction this
afternoon is to be Birds of Feath-
er," and at night the opera Said
Pasha."
Complimentary endorsements have
been received by the company where
ever it has played. On Saturday night
the troupe played in Millegeville, and
the local manager sent the following
message "Beggar Prince Opera
Company best this season. Give them
big house. They are fine" Follow
ing the performance last Thursday
at Madison, the manager of the opera
house sent this message: "Beggar
Prince Opera Company best in years,
They have fine show"
From Aberdeen, Miss, where the
company played the latter part of
November the manager wrote to
Manager Mullins, of Tupelo, as fol-
lows
Last season this company was a
little weak when they made this ter
ritory, but this season it is an en-
tirely different company, only one
old member, Mr. Lea Yelle, being
with them. They played here two
nights and gave the best of satisfac-
ton | trust you will give them a
full house, as an attraction like this
one deserves the money"
Manager Lucas, of the local opera
house, has also received copies of
endorsements from number of other
towns, including some in Tennessee.
All speak highly of the company and
its work.
This is the first comic opera of the
season and for that reason will no
doubt have an even more liberal at
tendance. Special prices have been
given for the matinee. aas
The company is provided with a
chorus of pretty girls, effective cos
tunes and beautiful scenery. The
songs are up-to-date and catchy,
while the plot of the two offerings
is witty and entertaining.

INDUSTRIOUS NEGRO
ROBBED IN ATLANTA
FIim-FIammed Out of $3.50
of His Roll.

G. c. CrittendOn, an industrious ne
gro, whose home is at Leslie, was
in Americas yesterday on his re-
turn from a disastrous trip to At
lanta where he was robbed of 1926
by two negroes. By prompt action
he caught one of the negroes and
forced him to give up $145, but the
negro with the remainder of the coin
he could not wing.
Crittendon went to Atlanta Tues
day to see about special rates to Cal
ifornia, as he contemplated journey
ing westward with his family. Short
ly after his arrival he fell in with
some of the DarktoWn population tC
whom he confided that he was from
Leslie and had some to see about
getting a rate to California. Two
negro men claimed to be going to the
same place and volunteered to give
him full information.
A little later while in the railroad
yards the negroes asked CrittendoI
to change two $500 bills. CrittendoI
''bit" and was counting out his money
with two large bills lying at his
hand. AS he finished the count the
two negroes grabbed all the money
and ran. He followed, and caught
one of the negroes. He wrested Sl4g
from this one, but in the meantime
the other one escaped and Crittendor
was forced to return with less than
half of his cash.
Preparatory to his trip Crittendon
who is also a preacher, got a letter
of recommendation signed by num-
Der of the leading citizens Of Leslie
but this did not prevent him from
being an easy mark for his Atlanta
brethren. He will undertake the
journey on the remainder of his
cash.

FIRST DISCOURSE
BY new PASTOR
Large Audience Heard Rev.
BaSCOm Anthony Sunday.

An audience which comfortably
filled the auditorium of the First Me-
thodist church greeted the new pas
tor, Rev. Bascom Anthony, yesterday
morning His theme was The Suf-
ficiency of Christ The text was
from Col 3:11: Christ is all
The speaker held up Christ as the
one who would draw all men unto
Him. Christianity was not a creed
nor a system of ethics, but a person,
Jesus Christ The only way, said
the speaker, to live a Christian life
was to know Christ The rest fol-
lowed as a natural sequence. Therein
lay Christianity's power. Christian
philanthropy was the working out of
the personality of Christ His teach
ings were nearly all found in en-
broyo in the Old Testament, but it
was the life He lived which drew
mankind
The sermon was enlivened by apt
Illustration, pathos and pleasantly
combining to interest and hold the
attention The discourse was well
received by the congregation, and
after the sermon many expressions of
approval were heard.
