READY NEXT WEEK
AmeriCuS Office Will Not
Order Soon.

A new issue of postage stamps
will be ready next week The de-
nominations are Is, IS, IS, As, IS, 6s,
IS, los 13s, los and sos, and the 81
stamp. The 81 and So stamps will
be discontinued after the present
stocks in postmasters hands have
been used up.
On these new one-cent stamps
is the head of Benjamin Franklin
in profile. All the other denomina-
tions bear the likeness of George
Washington. The border designs of
the whole series are identical, the
head being an ellipse on end, with
laurel leaves on either side Above
the head are the words ~. S. Pos
tage," and below is the value of
the stamp. No change in size will
be made from the present stamp.
Owing to the fact that the Americus
postoffice has recently received a
large supply of stamps, these new
designs will not be on sale locally
for some time The next requisition
made on the department by Post
master Mitchell will be filled in the
new styles.

AMERICUS is QUITE ON
THE QUIET IN TRADE
As Result of StupendOus
Sales

Shopping in Americus yesterday
was scarcely up to the Saturday
average, and while business condi-
tons are normal few of the retail
stores had more trade yesterday than
could be handled. In many stores
every customer had abundant OPP
portunity to inspect the desired
lines of goods, unannoyed by jostling
throngs. In fact, several dealers
were inclined to complain of dull
business, following the unprecedent-
ed special sales Of the past week.
In many lines of business price-eut-
ting has caused the public. to load up
rather literally, and all present
needs are supplied in large measure
In some special lines prices quite
recently went near the point of trade
Generalization, and it will require
a little time for the shoppers to for
get recent value cutting feasts and
resume the normal of standard prices.
During the afternoon the streets pre-
sented the usual Saturday rush, and
some dollars were sent circulating.

OF LOTS HAS
AROUSED INTEREST

The full page advertisement in the
Times-Recorder of yesterday by
DR.. Peter Bahnsen of the Montgomery
addition which he is placing on the
market was read with much interest
yesterday by Americus people. DIR
Bahnsen received numerous inquir-
les yesterday as to the proposed sale
of lots. His offer to let the Montgom-
cry House, valued at $2,500, go al
$3.50 to one of the purchasers of 9
lot, served to increase interest in the
project. DR.. Bahnsen himself was
also active calling on his friends anc
explaining to them the plan. 1t is
expected that the new street railway
will pass near this property, which
will of course enhance its value very

SPRINT TO LESLIE WAS
MADE BY SWIFT GAR
Record Run to Save Child S
Life.

Sixteen miles in twenty-three min
utes was the record run made yester-
day by Dick Brinson and Walter Ry-
lander in their Ford car. 1t was a
case of life and death, and life won
out. A little child, living four miles
beyond Leslie was choking with diph-
liberia, and the physician in charge
needed anti-toxin most urgently. A
telephone message was sent Dodson's
Pharmacy, and ten minutes later the
young men, who volunteered to act in
this hour of dire emergency, were
speeding to Leslie. In 33 minutes af-
ter the telephone message was sent
the anti-toxin had been administered
and little life probably saved.

Luxury As Primal Cause

There are many direct causes for
bank defalcations, but the primal
cause is the desire for luxury, fos-
tered in the great cities. OF late
years the chief immediate cause is
the using of the banks funds to pro-
mote enterprises in which the banks
officers have interested themselves.
Then, too, it often happens that
instead of becoming financially inter
ested in new projects or outside busi-
ness the bank officer succumbs to the
seductive influences of speculation.
But no president, vice president,
cashier or assistant cashier of a bank
can use its funds for his own profit
without the fact being known to at
least a portion of the clerks, and, it
is true, that by their silence or stu
pidity regarding what is being done
in their presence, bank officers are
enabled and in many cases encourag-
ed to take the banks money If bank
clerks would do their full duty there
would be fewer cases of defalcation
by the officers than in these sorry
times"

YOUNG men AND REvOLvERS.

Most boys and men who carry revolvers
meet up with some unpleasant experience
before learning wisdom, and unfortunately
that unpleasant experience isn't always confn-
ed to themselves. They either murder or cripple
some companion or innocent stranger or sue
coed In getting crippled, killed, or jailed In
either event others than themselves are made
to suffer and this seems a rank injustice. Once
in awhile, however, matters seem to even up
right recent case at Layton for illustration
There, rather wild and reckless ffteen.year-
old boy who probably thought 1t smart" to
carry shooting iron on his hip, pulled the
weapon from his pocket and In ignorance of its
being loaded, or in spirit of bluff put the
muzzle to his head and pulled the trigger The
boy is either dead or dying at this time. The
case seems sad, Of course, but it is better for
the boy to commit suicide now than to commit
murder or some other vicious crime, backed by
a revolver, at a later date.
One thing Is certain, men and boys do not
carry either revolver or particularly MUIR
derous knife except to use it, In earnest or as a
bluff. The fact that the weapon Is carried Is
absolute proof Of intent to use 1t In case the
situation seems to warrant 1t so 1t is good for
tune rather than desire that saves such men
from some sort Of serious difficulty. 1t seems
almost too bad that those who persist. in their
disposition to place themselves In the way of
trouble cannot meet their trouble alone before
involving others-as in the case of the Layton
boy.
The law provides that revolvers may not
be carried except by permission Of an officer OF
the law. 1t would be we'll II all men and boys
observed this law strictly

JESUS AND SOCIALISM.

Some socialists take pride and pleasure in
proclaiming that the sociaiistic doctrine and
that taught by Jesus, the lowly Nazarene, are
practically the same and they argue the ques.
tion in all good faith The Chicago Interior.
however, answers this argument very effective.
~ In the following, and leaves the socialists
with no ground TO stand on. The Interior
says:
Neither socialism nor any other economic
doctrines ever entered into the teachings of
Jesus Of Nazareth.
HE simply paid no attention to the econo
mic phases OF life. He treated industrial ques.
tions exactly as he treated political questions;
he let them alone.
There we're doubtless two reasons for this
Jesus didn't come into the world TO NEEDLE
with the clock OF human progress. Some day
the world would learn that democracy Is better
government than despotism, free labor better
industrial system than slavery, and would get
hold OF the facts all the stronger for having
had to dig them out. Jesus had no time to
stop to teach the world what II would eventu.
ally come TO on Its own account
The second and positive reason why he
did not concern himself with social questions
was because II was part OF his mission to throw
temporal consideration into the background.
Ellis principal teaching business was to
spread doctrine OF life that made mans
economic condition secondary matter
Here Jesus differs from socialism the
whole length OF the diameter. The thorough
going socialist thinks poverty the worst thing
that can happen to man. His great plea is
to abolish poverty. Jesus didn't think being
pour mattered much-not at all II the man was
the right sort. He was poor himself, and didn't
care In the least
'The overmasterng principle that decides
how Jesus looks at any or all human circum-
stances on the earth is this
IF man does the will of the Father in
heaven. nothing In his earthly circumstances
eau he wrong.
This confidence is half faith that the
Father will compel circumstance to turn out
favorably; half a faith that man who lives in
the Father can be happy In any circumstances.
The nearest Jesus ever came to an econo-
mic question: the writer points out, was when
lie saw that some certain mans economic con.
diJion was hindering his development in unset.

goes on
Modern social philosophers say it is the
poor who don't have a fair chance at fine char.
acter, but Jesus thought different he consid-
cred the rich the most handicapped.

heart the Master understood that the rich

Say Of Other Editors
Ogden Standard, Tuesday:

The nomination OF William Glasmann to
be postmaster at Ogden, was sent to the senate
today This action Of the President was taken
as the result of an investigation recently made
by postohice inspectors into charges made
against Glasmann by patrons of the Ogden
Office. 1t appears that when the inspector
went 10 the complaining persons, many OF
whom had signed the protest against Glas.
mann, he found that not a few of them had
signed the petition for an editor and we're on
both sides OF the case When asked to back up
their charges most OF them took to the
woods
The charges recently lodged with the de-
partment against the editor charging him with
inefficiency were found on investigation to be
so utterly uhfounded so far as the specific alle-
cations were concerned, that the department
dropped them. 1t Is understood that Senator
Sutherland has practically withdrawn his
threatened objection to the nomination which
had promised to 60 to the extent at one time
OF opposing confirmation.
Representative Howell has stood for Glas.
mann from the outset and 1t Is due to his per.
sstent championship of the editor that he has
finally won. Glasmann was named in the re.
cess two years ago In Jnly. When congress
met he was under investigation and his name
did not go to the senate during the short ses
sion OF the Fiity-ninth congress. When con-
gress adjourned without action 1t was thought
his name would be dropped, but he held Office
continuously notwithstanding there was some
doubt expressed as TO his legal right TO con-
time In Office under the circumstances.
When the senate met again at the begin
ming Of the present congress the department
was engaged In the investigation of new set
OF charges which was completed only recently
1t Is expected that he will meet with no OBJ
lection at the hands Of Senator Sutherland
when 1t comes to confirmation.
At noon today Mr. Glasmann received a
message from Congressman Howell confirming

had reappointed VIM, Glasmann postmaster
