The GOunty's Greatest Reception.


When General Grant returned from
his trip around the world he received
a tumultuous reception. 1t was a great
event. for those days, and was long
remembered by those who participant
ed in it. It was soul-strring and evil
denced the warmtR of the affection
that was felt in the North for the
leader OF the union armies and the
ex-president.
When William Jennings Bryan re-
turned from his tour of the world,
New York gave itself up to a tempo
rary ecstacy Of enthusiasm that ex-
ceeded anything known up to that
time in the reception line. If there
ever was a hero of the hour Bryan
was that parsonage on the memorable
day when the Democracy of the ma
ton met him at the gateway of the
country, escorted him through the
streets. Of its metropolis, and at night
Numbered at the gates of the old Mad
ison Square Garden in a vain effort to
crowd hundreds Of thousands into a
building limited to twenty.
These were great receptions. There
is no doubt Of that. They were I'M
paralleled in American history, the
one to the military chieftain, the other
to the political chieftain, the one TO
the man who had known success, the
other to the man who had tasted de-
feat and still retained his hold on
the masses of his party
But the indications are that they
viii sink in absolute insignificance
compared to the royal welcome that
viii await Roosevelt at his home-com-
ing
1t is within the limits of exactness
to state that the entire country is on
tip-toes for the coming of Roosevelt
as it has never before been for the
return of any of its citizens. Grants
welcome, in a sense, was sectional
Bryan's welcome was largely parti-
san. Roosevelt's gives promise of be-
ing more national in its scope than
either Of these two. He has insisted
that it be deprived Of a party charac-
ter, or factional nature,
Recent political events have con-
spired more than ever to attach I'M
usual significance to the Homecoming
of the former president. If there ever
was a child of fortune, Roosevelt is
one. The country at large seems tc
instinctiyely feel that his return is
pregnant with vast political poten-
tialities. that the political history OF
the nation for some years to come lies
in the hollow of this mans hand, that
his voice is to have a controlling in

fuence that it is seldom given to a
man to exercise. The sway that Bryan
has exercised in the Democratic par
ty, great as it has been, is almost in
significant compared to that which
Roosevelt has exercised, and seems
destined to continueg to exercise, in
the Republican party.
Roosevelt appeals to the spectacu-
lar as no other American leader since
the war has done. He appeals tc
the primal impulses in mems souls.
To the average young man he appears
the beau ideal of what a man should
be. Gritty, physically strong and
fearless, with a record as a sportsman
that few men are able TO achieve. it is
but natural that he should have taken
strong hold on the imagination of
nation not yet so far removed from
the pioneer stage as not to cherish
lively recolections Of the dangers If
wild beasts and sayages, Of the strug-
gle with nature in its most resisting
moods, OF the conquering force that
lies in the breast of tie man who
changes the wilderness into the homes
of civilization. There is a certain bru-
tai force in every mans soul that
goes out to the same impulses in other
mems souls. Under the veneer of
culture lies the native instincts that
have dominated the world from infan-
cy. And Roosevelt, typifying those
impulses more than any other politi-
clan of his day, draws men to him
with a peculiar magnetism. To the
nation at large he is Teddy" the
hunter, the hammer and tongs poll
tician. the statesman not afraid to
give the lie, the man of varied men
tai and physical powers. And whether
| they agree with his views or not
there is a certain admiration for the
man that extends from one end Of the
country to the other, feeling of pride
that he is an American, and almost
irresistible is the inclination to wish
him once more in the political arena.
With the republican party divided
as it is Roosevelt looms larger on
the horizon than ever as the probable
next candidate of the party. And if
he is, who caaGaesss, hat he viii not
sweep the cSSfTg frying all the
blunders of spts paT8 beneath the
wave awaken. ! by his own remark
able personality.
His reception will be a remarkable
one, but it will be no more remarka-
Bile than the man in whose honor it is
given. He is unquestionably the most
unique character in American politics
since the day of Andrew Jackson.

HOW GOOD ROADS BUILD UP
TOWN.

The Charlotte Observer, published
in a North Carolina city that has made
remarkable progress in recent years.
largely as the result of the location
in its vicinity of a large number Of
cotton Industries, calls attention a
recent editorial to the good work that
good roads do in the building up of a
city. Good roads, it points out, speed
lily lead to the cutting up of large farms
and the location in the country Of a
much greater number of small plant
ers, men who intend to live on their
places and who develop them to a
much greater extent than the large
farm owner, who all too frequently
lives in the city and leaves the man
agement Of the place to an overseer
or rents it out to troopers. The in
eyitable result of the incoming of the
small farmer is an increase in the city
trade and a general development of
business.
This condition is not only true Of
Charlotte, but it is true of many
Georgia towns. A gentleman from
Clarke county stated the other day
that the building of good roads had
been the making of Athens, that the
first real stimulus that city had came
from this source. Athens is now a
town Of approaching 10000 population
and one of the most progressive of
the smaller cities of the South. We
are also seeing, in a small way as
yet, similar trend here in Ameri-
Gus. The system of good roads that is
in course of construction by en-
HANGING the values Of lands is lead
ing to the cutting up of the largj
places and the location on them of a
number of thrifty home owners The
recent distribution of the DeSoto plan
tation among some twenty owners is
an instance of this This tendency
is going to continue to grow in force
Taken with the clearing Of lands that
comes with the advent of fine high
ways it is evident that the next few
years will see a considerable addition
to the white population of the coun-
ty, a much closer cultivation OF the
soil and a corresponding benefit to
Americas in the Increase of its cotton
receipts and its wholesale and retail
trade, bringing in their train a greater
population.
Every mile of good road built here
abouts is factor in the future de-
velopment of the city as well as Of
the county. Nothing that tends to
improve conditions in the country
roundabout Americas but must bene-
fit the city in the long run. If to the
good roads we can add a number OF
small industries and encourage them
with support and good will the fu-
ture Of the city will be assured.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST
DISEASE.

Americas las an ordinance, passed
a year or more ago, that is more or
less ignored. Like many another law
it was passed, it would seem, to meet
a condition that existed, and then was
quietly shelved and the condition al
lowed to 90 along unchecked. We re-
fer to the ordinance requiring the
screening of all foods that are liable
to be infected by flies
This is not an imaginary danger,
the danger Of the communication Of
disease through the medium of flies
lighting upon foods and leaving there
the germs of disease that have become
attached to their feet or bodies. The
danger is more real than many pe0-
pie imagine The closest inYestiga-
tions have shown that typhoid fever
and other peculiarly fatal diseases
are easily transmitted in this way.
The ordinance referred to is a good
one, it was passed to meet an urgent
condition, but it is to be feared that
it will remain a dead letter this sum
mer just like it was last summer.
Screens cost a little, it is true, and
it is some trouble @ot cover up food
supplies that are offered for sale, but
the protection of the public health
should rise paramount to either of
these considerations. Dealers who ca
ter to the public should be eager 10
satisfy their patrons that they are
doing all in their power to give them
clean food. Food that Is walked over
all day long by flies is not clean food
in any sense Of the word.
Housekeepers, too, would be doing
well TO screen their homes, and es-
pecially their kitchens and dining
rooms. The cost is not great, and
no money that is expended brings
richer returns in comfort and insur-
ance against disease. An investment
that tends to keep one in health, and
that insures one freedom from an
noyance, is certainly one that should
commend itself And an investment
in screens is certainly one Of this
character.
The Committee on Contagious and
Infectious Diseases of the Georgia
Medical Association, has recently is
sued a printed pamphlet outlining the
dangers to human life emanating from
the house fly and suggesting means
for Kidding homes of these summer
pests.
The committee sounds the warning
that flies are the most dangerous in
sects known to man. Besides being
the fnthiest of all vermin, the commit
tee contends, they are known to be
carriers of millions of death dealing
disease germs, some of which they
leave wherever they alight. They come
to the kitchen or dining room fresh
from decaying animal or vegetable
matter, or from the contagious sick
room, with filth on their bodies which
they deposit on the food They are
liable to infect people with tuberculo-
sis, typhoid and scarlet fever, dip
liberia and other diseases. Germs are
deposited by flies in milk to multi
ply with great rapidly.
AS a means of Kidding house OF
flies the committee suggests that all
doors and windows should be screened
and that fly poisons should be placed
in shallow dishes throughout the
house; that pyrethrum powder De
burned, or powdered black flag be
blown, which will cause the flies to
fail in a stunned condition, when they
may be gathered up and destroyed;
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1910-03-25

that all food, especially milk, be
screened; that babies be carefully
protected from flies, and that they
be kept away from the sick room.
The committee also makes suggest
ions for the elimination of the breed
ing places of flies

HOW HE FEELS TO BE RUN OVER

when / was run over" writes a
correspondent, II had not seen the
car approaching. The first thing /
knew was that was on the ground,
kicking upward with my legs in an
effort to get from under the car. Then
1 felt wheel going over my chest,
which bent as it passed over. In the
intervening second OF two / went
through several minutes worth of
feelings. l had the sensations of as
tonishment at being on the ground,
of waiting to roll aside and away, of
bracing myself-and my chest espec-
ially-stiff to resist something, what
ever it might be, while a lightning
flash of fear was dimly there and
subconscious query, What on earth
next?' Yet 1t was hardly fear, because
there was no time for such durable
sensation; 1t was rather a sense of
being suddenly confronted with a
grave reality, of doubtful, obscsurely
terrible import"
