OFFER TO Lend MONEY
= POINTS TO GOOD TIMES
AmGfiCuS Firm Ready to
Lend $4,000

Americus business houses are in the
midst if a season of "unexampled pros
perity," a fact fully reflected in the
very unusual offer of an Americus
mercantile establishment to lend fifty
thousand dollars in any amount de-
sired and until late in December next
In years agone it has been the Gus
tom of business firms in the South to
borrow money during the dull summer
season, and lenders here were an un-
known quantity. But conditions have
changed now, and there are lenders
here instead of borrowers, as indi-
Gated by the Americus house that has
$4,000 surplus money to place DUR
ing the next six months. 1t tells the
glad story of returning prosperity and
of prosperous conditions in Americus
and Sumter county; condition which
will grow even brighter with the har-
vest here of bounteous crops and re-
sultant good business during the fall
season.

The price paid for the new IN

was bid by the nearest competitor,
the R. D. Cole Engine Company, Of

ficient to replace the two boilers now

Engineer J. S. Stevens, at the pump
ing station, will superintend the drill
ing of one or two additional arte-

structed
By securing bids on the new boiler,

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
is WIDELY POPULAR
Times S-RGCOrdGF Want Ads
Brings Results

Want ads in The Times-Recorder
are nuggets in a gold mine. Living
proof of this is furnished every day
by the people who invest in classified
advertising.
In the last few days examples have
been furnished of an advertiser VINO
inserted a want ad at Z o'clock in
the evening, and soon after Z o'clock
next morning the watch fob wanted
was brought into The Times-Recorder
office. The results obtained were well
worth while and they were produced
Immediately
Another instance of where $25 in
money lost was recovered in the same
length of time is but different in
stance of those noted during the past
week. These cases illustrate the
many needs which may be most prof
itabIy met by the use of want ads,
and there are many other fileds that
have not yet been opened up by local
want ad users.
Very rapidly, however, more rapid
ly of recent date that never before,
in fact, the classified column of The
Times-Recorder has come to be used
and widely appreciated by the many
friends of the paper That is by far
one Of the most profitable kinds of
advertising for the general adyertis-
er, because the want ad is so wide
ly read, has been clearly impressed
upon local advertisers.
No matter what it is you wish or
whether you are using a display ad
or not, the want ad is a most valuable
medium of placing your needs before
the public. Try one Immediately and
be convinced.

Mr. Taft in the West

The outbreak of Senator Bristow in Kansas and the significant silence of audiences in the west all go to show that the President is not healing the breach in his party as he expected to do. Said Senator Bristow: q want to say right here and now to Presi-
 dent Taft and Secretary Fisher that we in Kansas will have our say to the
 end that there shall be equal justice for all and special privileges for none, everywhere and all the time" !" The people came out to meet and greet their President, and that is as far as they go.
 The President may be securing the support of politicians as he travels along. His nomination is considered assured. His election is a vastly different matter, and there are no in- dications in the published reports that he is consolidating his party, or is securing additional support from the insurgent wing of his party.
 He lacks magnetism as a public speaker, and then again he, in his frank outspoken way, declares him. self standpatter in tariff matters. He unhesitatingly declares himself protectionist for protection's sake. He stands by the protected interests, and every time he discusses the tariff he makes the great issue of 1912 all the plalner. He deprecates in plain words a change from a protective tariff that permits the protected in terests to take untold millions from the pockets of home consumers, to a tariff for revenue only. He did this in particular in a speech in Iowa, and at no point is he securing ad- herents. His mission is already a failure, and he will come back with a nomination practically in his pocket, but with defeat in the following No- vember staring him in the face. He is a standpatter at heart and by as- sociation and family ties, and his trip is making this plain and unmistak- able.

Recalling a Bolt of Long Ago

Chairman Nugent of the demo- cratic state central committee of Idaho is opposing Governor Harmon for President because, as a member of President Cleveland's cabinet, he bolted the democratic national ticket in 1896 when MT. Bryan was the nominee of the party.
 At the time mentioned Governor Harmon was more of a lawyer than a politician. He was MT. Cleveland's Attorney General, and he took little interest in politics and a great deal in his profession. He was counted with the rest of the cabinet as an opponent of MT. Bryan, but he was in no sense political leader at that time. No doubt it is true that the entire cabinet did bolt the ticket with the sole exception of Gov. Hoke Smith, who was Secretary of the h. terior. Mir. Smith resigned from the cabinet and openly supported Bryan as a private citizen.
 The bolt of 1896 did "queer" the members of the Cleveland cabinet as rule, but when Governor Harmon ran for governor of Ohio it did not seem to initiate against him. It cut no figure in either of his campaigns, for he was reelected last year. The bolt took place in the first Bryan campaign, and Chairman Nugent is the first man who has made an issue of the incident of 15 years ago. Hoke Smith alone of the Cleveland cabinet stood openly by MT. Bryan. | The facts are well known and are not in dispute.
