LETTER TO c. p. PAYNE
Americas, Ga,

Dear Sir: You manage men and
machinery; no one knows better than
you that one man is worth more than
another; that one machine is worth
more than another machine. Some
times you pay the man more, some
times you don't; sometimes the ma
chine costs more, sometimes it does
MT The difference is, sometimes, two
or three to one, and costs not a cent.
So with paint, and more too; the
paint that does best service makes q
less first clOst of the job-yOu can
paint Deyoe at less expense than the
meanest stuff you can yet
1t is like a good steady man or
machine; but goodness and steadi-
ness have to be paid for i'll men, in
machines not always, and never in
paint. Paint is cheap in proportion to
strength.
1t is pure paint that is steady and
good; it is paint adulterated that is
tricky. There is enough paint in
the worst of these mixtures to look
and feel like paint, and enough adul-
Grants (whiting, china-clay, barytes,
ground stone, benzine, water) to
make two gallons of one.
There are eight pure paints in the
United States; we know of no
more; there are 200 adulterated We
analyze all, and know what they are
made of. Pure isn't all; you want
strength. The least gallons paint is
DeyOe. Yours truly,

LOCAL CONCERN BUILD
TWO LARGE AUTOS
Sawyer ( Sons Also Have
Ford Gar Agency.

Several years ago, Mr. Ned Sawyer
purchased the first automobile that
was owned in Americas, and since
that time has been more or less in
the. business of selling and rebuilding
automobiles from every section of
the state. Having wide experience
with almost every make of machine on
the market, and realizing that Ameri-
Gus people would demand the very
best and most reliable machines to
be had, he has opened a sales and
repair department with the firm of
w. H. Sawyer and Sons, of which he
is an active member.
Each member of this firm is
thoroughly practical man and each
one takes great pride in handling
nothing but the best machinery in
the different lines. The fact that
their product, made here in Americas
and being shipped all over the United
States and West Indies is proof of
their high grade work
They are at present building for
their own use, two of the largest and
most powerful automobiles in the
kForld These machines will repre-
sent one hundred and twenty-five
horse power each and will be by far
the largest touring cars in the Sou
thern states.
They are the six cylinder type of
motor, the cylinders being six inches
diameter and six inch stroke. The
cars will be over fifteen feet long.
Understanding the automobile bust
ness as they do, they of course are
in position to know to an absolute
certainty just what machines will
give the best all round service and
satisfaction on the roads in and
around Americas. And in view of,
this fact, they have decided that the
line of cars made by the Ford Motor
Company of Detroit, Mich, are better
for this section and that these cars
will give more genuine satisfaction
than any others.
They have accepted the agency for
this line of automobiles and can
satisfy the most fastidious buyers by
selling them anything from a light
runabout to the heaviest rOadsters.
Having a large garage where they
can accommodate eight to twelve ma
chimes at one time, also having
complete equipment of tools for
making new parts and repairs, par
ties owning machines can have them
properly stored ana feDulIC on very
short notice.
Mr.. G E. Morgan of Chicago, is
with this firm and is an expert on all
gasoline and electric motors, having
worked for seven years as an expert
with one of the largest electric and
gasoline motor manufacturers in the
United States.
The firm of w. II. Sawyer and
Sons are doing a great deal to adj
vertise Americas as they mark their
shipments, Made in Americus, Ca"
and have just recently shipped some
of their goods to BowdOinham Me,
and to Los Angeles, Cal, and Port
land, Col
They have received inquiries from
France, Germany, Scotland and Ar
gentina, South America.

RACE TRACK GAMBLING IN n. Y.

Gov Hughes has been defeated, at
least temporarily, in his efforts to
abolish race track betting in New
York. When the bill came before the
state senate the vote was a tie. Lieut..
Governor Chanler was able to cast
the deciding vote on the usual mo-
ton to reconsider, and the bill may
yet be brought up. Or if that fails,
Gov. Hughes may still call an extra
session.
1t was a brave act on the part of
Gov. Hughes to boldly attack the
gambling on race horses which thrives
in New York as in no other state. Bef-
mont Park, the Aqueduct, Jamaica,
Sheepshead Bay, Brighton Beach, Sar-
atoga and other tracks swarm with
gamblers and race horses touts
during the season and a number
of wealthy men are interested, the
late w c. Whitney being an example.
That Gov. Hughes should have come
so near overthrowing the system this
time is most creditable to himself.
In commenting on the defeat, the
New York Times says:
The responsibility for the defeat of
the bills forbidding gambling upon
race tracks, rests of course, upon ey-
cry one of the twenty-five Senators
who voted in the negative. 1t is
not easy to see why anybody should
have counted upon the vote of Cas-
sidy, whose record at Albany has not
been of a nature to inspire the belief
that he is possessed of an uncOnquer-
able prejudice against race-track
gambling.
1t is much too soon for the racing
men to call it their victory They have
yet to reckon with Gov Hughes, who
has suffered a reverse, but not de-
feat His resources are not eX
hausted. If he choose to call an
extra session it can hardly be doubted
that he will compel the Senate to
pass the bill.
The reverse Gov Hughes has suf-
fered in the defeat of the measure
is not of kind to do him harm. On
the contrary, his tireless and intelli-
gent labOrs in its behalf have COM
mended him to the confidence and
admiration of the people of the State
and of other States.

Mr.. CHAPPELL IS MUCH
PLEASED WITH VISIT
Likes Americas and Talks
About it.

Mr. l.. H. Chappell returned yeSter-
day from Americas, where he was one
of the speakers at the banquet of the
Americas Board of Trade on Thurs
day evening. The banquet was large
affair, there being over 200 people
present, and the occasion was full
of enthusiasm. Mr.. Chappells subject
was municipal Team Work, and
was received with appreciation.
Mr.. Chappell is an authority on
this subject, having been mayor OF
the best town in Georgia for 10 years
and during that decade the work
accomplished by the municipal gov
eminent shows the way in which this
team work" idea was utilized.
The former mayor of Columbus told
the people of Americas that team
work did not mean all the people of
a city working together-that was the
erroneous conception of the idea. 1t
was necessary to divide the people in
to numbers of teams, so that a limit
ed number of people would have upon
them the responsibility for doing the
particular work assigned them.
Mr.. Chappell said that the three
greatest factors in building up a
city are the board of trade, the press
and the mayor and city council
Mr.. Chappell had the pleasure of
driving through the residence section
of Americas, and was greatly impress
ed with the beauty of the city. There
are large numbers of handsome resi-
dences, the proportion of home-owners
being high, and he was especially
struck with the neatness of the lawn
and premises.
The homes have every evidence of
careful attention and the residential
section is most MISUNDERSTANDING

Roosevelt Negroes Friend.
Roosevelt Negroes Friend.

Delegates from 25 States are sup
posed to be attending in this city the
National Race Political Conference
of Colored Americans. The mana
gers and promoters of the convention
or meeting seem to be animated by a
dislife of Taft, because he is support
ed by the President, and an intense
opposition to Roosevelt on the suppo-
sitiOn that he is an enemy to the
negro race in America This notion
testifes to more incohorency than
was exhibited in framing the title of
this conference
The immediate cause of the oppOsi-
ton to Roosevelt is said to be his
action in eliminating by executive or
der or some form of Roosevelt edict
the negro troops at Brownsville, Tex,
from the regular army on the suSpi-
cion that they "shot up the town.
This to be sure, was the precipitate
action of a gentleman who does things
on the principle of the rapid-tire gun,
but the mere suggestion that it was
prompted by hostility to the negro
race has the appearance of a clumsy
Foraker political libel.
To imagine that the President is
hostile to negroes because he was
impulsive as if army officers con-
sidered him hostile to the army for
jumping officers to high posts over
the heads of their seniors, or for COM
polling fat officers to show their abil-
ity to ride across country. Who clos
ed up Mississippi postofice because
the proud Southron" would not &C
cept a colored postmaster? Who
forced a colored officeholder upon the
South Carolinians, or deprived an
Ohio politician of a fat place in the
District of Columbia for negro? And
who, oh, who, was in the White House
the host of Booker Washington?
The negro conference will be COM
PEELED to tell their story to persons
who are much more credulous than
even the marines"

Americas, Ga, April II, 1908.
GOV. SMITHS REPLY.

Gov. Smith has given out an answer
to the address of Hon. Joseph NJ
Brown. AS was to be expected, the
Governor seeks to make prohibition
the issue. realizing that this is the
strongest sentiment in the state to-
dav. To those who are familiar with
the career of Gov. Smith as local
optionist. barroom owner and advo-
cate of a modification of the prohibi-
ton law so that beers and light wines
could be sold, it will seem that he
does not come into the arena as the
onlv prohibitionist" with clean hands.
In other words, it is evident that Mr..
Smith so earnestly expresses this
fear that Mr. Brown is not as good a
friend of the prohibition law as he
himself in the belief that by so doing
he is picking at the strongest chord
on the Tyre.
But when he attempts to hold him
self up as a better prohibitiOnist than
Mr.. Brown, those who can remember
events of the past eighteen months
will give him the laugh.
The second most powerful chord is
that of Acknowledgement of the ne
gro, and Mr. Smith twangs that with
vigor, pointing out that his opponent
does not mention the subject AS the
question is before the voters for set
tlement and as the Governor IS IN
no wise concerned. except as he might
be demagogic enough 10 try to take
advantage of the fact that the ques-
ton was before the people, there
would seem to be no need to travel
outside of the issues between the
candidates for Governor and drag in
a totally prevalent issue.
Gov. Smith makes the statement IN
his reply that the people of Georgia
repudiated Mr.. Brown as Railroad
Commissioner, but just how he does
not state. From the way they are
rallying to his standard, partly on
account of that very dismissal, 1t
does not seem much like 'repudia-
ton" On the port rate question,
Mr.. Brown had played rings" around
the Governor, and this phase of the
controversy was not treated in the
reply.
Boiled down, Gov Smiths answer
is to the effect that the state will &c
l.. -. how ,,,cv-- ;f Mr. Brown is
elected. There is no evidence what
ever that Mr.. Brown would not be
just as faithful as Mr.. Smith on the
prohibition question, and his past
record is vastly less unsayory. NC
one can blame Gov Smith from try
ing to hide behind the prohibition law
but his charges that if he is not re-
elected that the law is doomed, is
puerile.
Gov. Smith is making a desperate
effort to becloud the issues. But the
voters are showing a decided dispo'
sition to do their own thinking. They
have not forgotten the wild anti
railroad, anti-capital policies of Gov
Smith and their effect, even though
the Chief Executive has attempted tt
take back water on them. The PEG
ple have had too much HOke and his
reckless warfare on capital.
Many-perhaps a majority-belieVt
that a change would be for the bes
interests of the state.
