Season Ripe for Rather Large Dealings in Pack

The season for auction sales Of leaf
tobacco in Richmond. and. as for that
matter, In all of the markets OF Vir
ginia and North Carolina. is about at
an end. The auction sales in this city
for the past week were so small that
they are not worthy OF mention.
However. this is the season for more
or less large package sales. These
package sales are always made on the
quiet, and no record is made by which
newspaper man can catch up with
the actual figures either as to prices
paid or the amounts in pounds that
may or may not have been sold,
Nevertheless, there are whole lot
of rumors among the tobacco handlers
The folks who sell by sample have
been very busy the past Week. and the
cause of their activity was the arrival
in town last Tuesday and Wednesday
of representatives of several of the big
tobacco concerns of the country, all or
whom had or claimed that they had in
to fill up some vacuums in the bright
wrapper and the bright cutter depart
ments.
The dealers are very reticent as to
what was really done. but there are
we'll founded rumors that the Ameri-

during the past week very large buy

gains or whether the holders of the
"brights" got big profits it is hard to

PUBLICATION OF POLITICAL
CARDS.

In order that there may be no
misunderstanding as to political cards
published in the Times-Recorder, it
is well, perhaps, to state that all of
these cards are inserted as adver-
tisements, do not emanate from the
Times-Recorder, or any one in it's ser
vice, and are not to be considered as
the opinions of this paper.
Any public journal must keep it's
columns open for proper communica-
lions of this character that are not
personal in their nature, that is, do
not attack the character or motives
of individuals. Public policies and
official methods are legitimate sub
jects for discussion at any time. Dur
ing a contest for office many COM
munications are frequently sent to a
newspaper which it is impossible to
publish. Others cannot be denied pub
LEGATION.
All candidates for office occupy the
same footing so far as the Times-Re-
corder is concerned. It's columns are
open to them for proper communica-
tions, as advertisements, payable for
at the same rates to all parties. But
the right is reserved to reject any
communication that partakes of a
character that may be properly re-
garded as offensive in personalities,
or otherwise improper in it's nature.
SO much by way of explanation that
there may be no misunderstanding.
Political communications in this pa
per are always advertisements.

farm lands have been turned over to
tenants or allowed to go back to

can ride in some Of the southern
states through as fine a country as
can be found anywhere, now sparse

large population lived and prosper

These lands are held today at prices
that do not begin to represent their
intrinsic value from crop-production
standpoint. Many of these farms are
capable of producing more than they
cost from one seasons crop, when
Brought back into a state of proper

While the railroads are naturally
looked to to lead in the advertise
ing of all parts of the South, it is
yet true that the duty is also incum-
bent on the states and counties and
local business organizations of doing
as much as they possibly can in the
same direction. The railroads cannot
be expected to do it all If South
Georgia, as an illustration, were adj
vertised for two or three years as
Florida has been, the resulting in
hux OF people and capital would ex-
coed anything Florida has known.
The opportunities and advantages Of
this section surpass anything Florida
has to offer, except in very limited To-
calities. The matter of proper adj
vertising is accordingly one that
merits continued attention from every
community in this part of the state.
Properly handled advertising matter
that is accurate and attractive cannot
fail to produce satisfactory results.

WHAT MAKES A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,
(By DR.. MADISON C. PETERsl

Socrates called beauty short-liYad
tyranny" and Theophrastus "a silent
cheat"
The man who marries for beauty
alone is as silly as the man who would
buy house because it had fine flow
ers in the front yard.
A beautiful woman pleases the eve.
a good woman wins the heart. The
one is a jewel, the other a treasure.
The love that has nothing but beauty
to sustain it, like the violet will soon
cease to smile, and, like the flower,
must fade.
But beauty in woman is a power and
a possession not to be despised, and if
women could look into the hearts of
men they would discover that much of
the dissatisfaction with wives results
from Indifference.
Often domestic duties and the cares
of motherhood exclude them from 81
ciety until they become Indifferent to
its demands, and this loss of interest
in outside things is followed by ina1-
tention to the person.
Go about in neglige in the presence
OF your husband and exhibit ennui as
If your life had been strained to the
swapping point; or, on the other hand.
exhaust all your energies to be fasci-
mating for company outside yoCr
home or to strangers who may visit
you, reserving nothing for your hus-
band but languid indifference-and
yours will be the blame for an affinity.
1t is a laudable ambition in woman
to be attractive-dress as well as you
can afford.
1t you are young, add to your
charms by varying your attire, and
when no longer young, adopt any kind
of sensible and appropriate dress
which will charm away that melan-
choly specter which, throws its shad-
ow on the looking glass-old age.
But when you come to brush and
powder and pencil-the most common
implements employed to increase and
preserve beauty in woman, remember
that that beauty which is only surface
deep is likely to prove as evanescent
as the passing cloud
About the use of BRUSH and powder
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1910-03-10

and pencil there is often something
mysterious to man, but the enduring
beauty Of face and person has nothing
mysterious about it-not that there
may not be some legitimate aids 10
natural forces, but lasting beauty Of
face and person must come from with
in. And back of this superior attrac-
tiveness, this highest type of beauty in
the human form, is soul expression
animated and lighted up by the intellf-
gence within.
Intellectual power makes manifest
the invisible spirit that dwells within.
1t reveals to men a higher nature that
men love, and so lights up the face
with the superior glow of sympathy
and noble heart that often the We
man that men call the most beautiful
would be called lonely were she
without this inward beauty. And she
who has this inward beauty may rest
content that she will be hailed as
beautiful to the end of her life. Once
possessed, this kind of beauty cannot
easily be lost. But mere physical
beauty-how soon it fades when sub
jected to the stress of everyday life,
Would you truly improve the beauty
Of your face? Then call to your all
intelligent love, for it is woman's
greatest beautifer.
However shaggy the brows, oblioue
the eyes, ominously longitudinal the
nose, and struggling the mouth, you
may possess an inward beauty which
perishes not which will flash out in the
eye, glow in the face, tune the voice,
and wreath the countenance in
charms
To improve your face improve your
disposition; set behind your face
feeling of kindness toward all.
The blush will fade,
The light grow dim which the blue
eyes wear,
The gloss will vanish from curl and
braid,
And the sunbeam dies in the waving
hair
Turn from the mirror and try to win
Treasures of loneliness which will
last,
Gather earth's glory and bloom within,
That the soul may be young when
youth is past.

THE YOUNG PHENOM.

I'D A Goeway, in Leslie's.)
A young phenom in bush league
grew,
Whose batting average was three-two-
two;
When running bases he surely flew,
Mon dieu.
His rep, it certainly grew and grew
Till a scout went on his work to view,
And said, For big league club you'll
do.
Oh, you."
He drafted the kid without ado
To join the ranks of major crew
And show the vets what he could do.
Quite true!
Well, the youngsters chest it grew and
grew
And, somehow, he thought he really
knew
The game of baseball through and
through.
Sad, too!
When he bid his native town adieu.
The bands all played and the whistles
blew,
And the papers gave him a send off,
too.
Hoo! Roo
The rest of the tale is sad but true:
He only lasted a week or two
Many are called-those chosen are few
BOoi hoo!

ADVERTISING BUILDS UP A
COUNTY.

In the development of any section Of
the country good advertising is the
medium that brings the most success.
Take California and Florida for in
stance. When the movement to open
Up those states, to bring them before
he world and induce immigration and
Investments, was begun, the advertis-
ing that was resorted to was of the
highest possible type. AS a result i'm
migrants and wealth flowed into the
two states and an enormous impetus
was given to their growth in every di-
rection.
In these two instances, and, in fact
in nearly all movements to stimulate
the development of any section, the
railroads have been the chief advertise
ing promoters. Their publicity bureaus
have become recognized as one of their
most valuable adjuncts. The Southern
and the Seaboard, two great Southern
roads, devote large sums every year to
work of this character Their results
evidently must be satisfactory as the
tendency of both companies is to ex-
pand the operations of this depart
ment. The L. & N. has also done
some extensive and highly satisfac-
tory work along this line, But as a
whole railroads traversing the South
have not displayed as much enterprise
in this direction as those of the West,
whose literature has been scattered
world wide and in enormous and, APP
parently never ceasing supplies. Re-
ferring to what has been done in that
section, and to the possibilities the
South offers in the same way, the ag-
ricultural agent of the Norfolk &
Western has this to say:
The eastern capitalist, merchants,
farmers, professional man and labor
ing man have been interested by the
wonderful advertising ability of the
western people, as evidenced in the
attractive literature, extensive period
ical and newspaper advertisements
and beautifully illustrated folders and
booklets descriptive of the wonderful
advantages that await the traveller in
the far west, and the result of the
movement westward has been that

INSURTNG LIVES FOR CHURCHES
OR CITIES.

A recent proposition that has at
| tracted much attention is that city
take out insurance on the live OF
| number of citizens, the proceeds to be
applied to the wiping out of the public
I debt In this way, it is argued, munic-
pal debts can be more quickly removed
and city governments be put in posi-
ton, in coming years, to expend their
revenues in great works for the good
of the public.
This is a novel suggestion in so far
as its application to cities is concern
ed. But the same suggestion has been
made before relative to church work. A
year or two ago the suggestion was
made that in every church policies be
taken out on the lives Of members. the
proceeds to come to the church as an
endowment fund, or for the purpose. OF
relieving it Of burdensome debts.
Whether the suggestion was acted on
to any extent we are not aware. But
its practicability was apparent 20
every one and it is quite possible that
some churches adopted such policy.
In such instances, of course. the
churches pay the premiums.
The thought occurs that through
modification of this idea men who are
DESTROYS to leave substantial benefac-
tons behind them can readily do so at
a comparatively small yearly expense
while they are living. A man in good
health, who aspires to leave money for
benevolent or religious work. could
take one Of the cheapest policies in a
staunch insurance company. say for
$4,000 or $4,000, and, at a very mod
crate cost to him every year, provide a
fund for the work in which he is inter-
ested after his departure from earth
Men Of philanthropic or religious I'M
pulses would undoubtedly derive
much happiness from the thought that
every year, after death had closed
their usefulness on earth, the income
from a fixed endowment furnished by
them would be applied for the ameli-I
Grafton of mankind in some way, or
for the spread Of the Gospel.
The man who is willing to make
some small sacrifice could readily car
ry insurance of this character. in some
sum from $1,000 to $4,000. The only
wonder is that more of such policies
are not written in a day when the de-
sire to be of assistance to ones fellow
men is 50 strong. Perhaps if the in
surance companies took the matter uo
and advertised it with their usual en-
terprise a flood of business Of this
character would result. And then the
claim of these gigantic corporations
that they are the benefactors of hum
anity would have its foundations even
stronger than they now are.
