THE WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER.

In it's new form of eight pages, sew
Ell columns to the page, the Weekly
Times-Recorder compares favorably
with any weekly paper in the state.
With well organized staff of CORES
pondents at twenty different points in
this county, Webster, Lee and Schley
counties, it gives to its subscribers
every week the local happenings OF
their respective neighborhoods, the
complete news of Americus, and much
news Of the state and the world az
large.
Without any egotism, we venture to
say that the Weekly Times-Recorder is
to-day the best weekly paper that this
immediate section of Georgia has ever
had. This is but natural in view of
the superior equipment of the paper
and the greater efforts made to have it
cover its especial field.
To-day the Weekly Times-Reeorder
offers an ideal medium by which ad-
gertisers can reach the principal farm
ers of a large extent of country round
about Americas. 1t includes the vast
majority of them on its subscription
list. 1t reaches not only the whites,
but many of the best colored farmers
of the country are among its regular
readers and the customers of its ad-
yertisers.
The purpose of the management is at
all times to go forward, to make both
the daily and the weekly better and
better as the growth of the city and
country and the increase of business
may warrant 1t is not now, never has
been, and never will be, the policy Of
the Times-Recorder to get out poor
paper merely to save money. It's policy
is to deal generously with its patrons,
to give them the very best possible
with the support that it receives and
to better its service up to the limit of
its finances. Its policy in this way has
received the generous approval and
eyer increasing support of its constitu
eney And for that it is grateful.

This is what Mayor Maddox said IN
his address on retiring from the may
orally of Atlanta.
Mayor Maddox was right. What every
city needs is a continued publicity OF
the doings of its public servants, com
plete publicity as to all municipal al
fairs.
There has been some criticism of the
Times-Recorder because it has given
so much space in the past to the dis
eussions in the City Council, revealing
the discussions existing there
But the citizens of Americus were
entitled to have the deliberations of
their official representatives given 10
them, We're entitled to know what they
said in their official meetings, the
position that each and every one of
them took on questions arising
The fact that there were differences
of opinion, leading to dissension, was
no legitimate reason why a newspaper
should not give due publicity to the
proceedings.
AS matter of fact there is not now,
and apparently never has been, suffi-
cient publicity given to the affairs CT
Americas.
If there was there would not be
such a division of opinion as to what
its financial status really is, or what is
the best thing to do in this or that de-
partment.
Other cities give detailed statements
regularly to their taxpayers, have
formal reports from each and every de
partment that are official and leave
nothing to conjecture.
Such publicity is needed here,
SHOULD be had, and until it is given
there will always be misunderstood
ing.
No city is we'll administered that
does not have complete reports pre-
sented of its workings and spread
those reports before its citizens

To KNOCK OFT SHODDY CLOTHING

Congressman Victor Murdoch, OF
Kansas, proposes to make those who
benefit by the protective tariff duties
give the people more protection against
fraud than they now have, hence he is
going TO urge Congress to pass pure
clothing law which he is preparing 10
introduce in the Heuse, like q great
many other people Mr.. Murdoch is
aware of the fact that much of the
clothing sold to the poor as wool has
no wool in 1t at all. Therefore he
wants to compel by law all manufac-
turers of cloth to put a tag on their
product stating how much wool is in it,.
His measure is similar in some re-
spects 10 the pure food law, which
has protected ihs people against fraud
and imposition, and II IL is passed by
Congress there will be tag On every
suit of clothes, certified by the govern
ment, showing the percentage of wool
fh EfiP hROOll III illC CiOlu OllOuuJ II
Will be marked shoddy and the dishon-
est practice of setting the poor shoddy
for wool at wooden prices viii cease
The best argument that can be made IN
support of the Murdoch bill is that If it
is unlawful to sell chopped hay us
breakfast food, It ought to be unlawful
also for any one to sell Sheddy as
wool,
The country has needed pure cloth
ing law for number of years. 1t will
not hurt honest manufacturers, and IS
not likely to be opposed by them nor
by congressman who want the people
when buying clothes to get what they
pay for.

IS HEAT CAUSE OF AN
UMP|RES' TROUBLES?
Many Rows on Ball Field May
Be Explained in This
Way.

NEW YORK, July 13.-This is a bad
season for umpires, especially in the Ma
tional League. First. President Lynch
indefinitely suspended Jack Doyle for
his decision in the Chicago Pittsburg
game that will have to be played over.
Then Roger Bresnahan was slammed
on the jaw by His Umps'' KLEIN, and
the latter was fined heavily. The latest
big row was when Outfielder Magee
smashed Finneran on the jaw Monday at
Philadelphia, for which action he has
heaviest fine that the constitution allows.
There have been wholesale suspensions
OF managers because of rows with UNI
pires all during the season. Both Nc
Graw of the Giants and Dahlen OF the
Dodgers have been out on numerous
occasions. President Lynch says that
umpire batting must stop. He declares
that the players are taking advantage
of the new umpires that he has put to
work and are not giving them a chance
to make good Either the excessive heat
is driving the players base ball mad and
causing them to attack the arbitrators
or the latter are such an incompetent
lot that they are making the diamond
artists desperate.
Even the Eastern League is having
trouble with its umpires. In the game
at Jersey City yesterday between the
Skeeters and the Orioles the fans abet-
ted by the players. roughly handled tho
appealed to the police for help, but were
not accorded any. The umpfres were
lucky to escape with their lives, 50 vio-
lent did the spectators become.

Clarence Walkers experience is not un-
like that Of Cunningham. He, too
started off like whirlwind and it seemed
that the local club had picked up q
most promising ball player. But eventu-
ally the pitchers studied his weakness.
and once they found it Walker stopped
hitting. But he is a mere boy and there
is no reason why he should not overcome
his faults In due time. He seems to
have the natural ability to make a ball
player, and the fact that he has failed
to keep up the pace he set at the start
should not be prticulrly discouraging.
Most ball players who break into this
company have a similar experience. but
If Walker has the nerve and grit he will
come again. For this reason 1t win be
wise for McAleer to continue this player
in the game so that he may have .
chance to get the experience he needs.

ESCAPING RAILROAD WRECKS
players Travel Thousands of Miles Every
Year, But There Is Seldom a
Fatal Accident.

base ball Pullman attached to a fast
train is considered good luck" Major
league teams travel thousands Of miles
every season. and though the risk is great
there is seldom a fatal accident Players
have had miraculous escapes from death
in wrecks The st. Louis Cardinals had
the proverbial luck when they escaped in
jury in the wreck at Bridgeport early
Tuesday morning. They occupied the two
rear sleepers which were derailed, but
which were the only two coaches that did
not plunge to the street below.
According to newspaper correspondents
with the st. Louis team it was base ball
luck that saved the Cardinals from in
jury or death. Their two P,lllmans were
in the middle of the train leaving Phila-
delphia, but after the train was ferried
around Manhattan Island the base ball
cars were attached to the rear Of. the
regular sleepers. That saved the players
from a fall to the street, which probably
would surely have seriously injured some.
Such catastrophe would have abruptly
terminated the great race being made by
the Cardinals This season.
ST. Louis team was in the only other
big base ball wreck that has occurred in
the last ten years. The Browns and the
Cleveland team were travelling on q spe-
cial train one night in 1903 when they
were wrecked at a little town in Ohio. To
get from Cleveland to St. Louis for a
double header the. clubs arranged for a
special train consisting of two sleepers
and an empty baggage car.
At o'clock in the morning, while the
train was running about forty miles an
hour, 1t was derailed. The engine re-
manned upright, but the baggage car was
crushed like an eggshell, and both sleep

BASE BALL USEFUL.
DR.. Little to Develop Feeble Minds
by Teaching Game.

NEW YORK. July l3.-Dr c. S. Little,
a Dartmouth foot ball star of 1891, who
is superintendent of ''Letchworth VIII
lage" state institution for $500 feeble
n nded persons, will endeavor to build
up the wits of the boys in that colony
by organizing number of base ball
teams. He is in New York today to get
base ball outfits for his charges and q
suit of armor for the umpire
DO you think that a team of feeble
minded boys can be made to understand
the intricacies of base ban?" asked an
incredulous member of the board of di-
rectors when he asked for an appropria-
ton for this purpose.
''Oh. / don't intend ito develop any Hal
Chases or Ty Cobbs." said DR.. Little,
but L think We might turn out a good
grade of umpires If all / see in the pa
pers is true. I believe that base ball
is so inbred in the American people that
even the weak-minded love the sport
We hope to have foot bali, too. of the
safe and sane variety and contests with
other institutions of the same sort"
