EXCELLENT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
HERE

Yesterdays Times Recorder carried
a report of the attendance at the city's
public schools which should be mat
ter of great inspiration to the people
of Americas. There are few cities the
size of Americas which can show such
excellent attendance as the report OF
Superintendent Mathis gives this
city.
There is no better item in the up
building of a city than the influence
which its schools exert In this par
ticular the public schools of Americas
have been especially blest The in
fuence which they have exerted in
the development of the city has been
especially marked The large number
of students who avail themselves of
the advantages offered by the city in
its schools becomes in the light of this
fact especially notable.
Already the number of students a.;
school here is larger than was the to-
tai enrolment Of students throughout
the school year last year The steady
growth of the schools is shown in this
significant statement. The need of
better facilities and of more room to
accommodate the rapidly growing at
tendance is another element of the
question which deserves attention.
The fact that so many students have
registered at the local schools that the
rooms have become in many instances
congested shows the need of larger
space in which to give instruction to
these students. The demand in this
particular has become imperative The
needs of the schools are so great that
the issuance of bonds for the lettering
of these conditions must be voted up
on very soon. 1t would be disastrous
if the growth of the schools is checked
by the failure to carry bond issue
intended to aid such a worthy purpose
In Analysing the attendance at the
schools it is significant to notice that
such a large number of students are
attending the schools from the sur
rounding country Especially in the
High School is this true There is no
need for resident of Sumter county
to send a child away from this county
for the lack of high school training.
The local High School is open for ev-
cry child in the county, and a large
number of the students eligible for
instruction at the High School have
taken advantage of these facilities.

We need great mothers as no age
before
Has needed them They stand within
the door
OF every century, each returning year,
AS the crowded conquerors without a
peer.
We need great mothers, and such men
as rise
Under the watchfulness of mother
To greater manhood and the dauntless
might
OF soldier spirits in the wars of right.
Great golden mothers of a holden race,
With sunbeam hope upon each lifted
face,
And clean, high spirit for the death
Jess truth
OF manhood nurtured in the blood OF
youth.
We need their patience and unswery-
ing will
Te keep us true to righer ideals still
To stand examplers of the best tins
brings
To every age that scars on stainless
wings
We need great mothers. with the har-
dihood
To bear strong children for the com
mon good,
And make life's greatness lasting as
the range
OF punctual seasons through the arcs
of change.
Great sacrificial spirits, such as those
That in time past have grown as beau
ty grows
In quiet habitudes, content to give
Their tenderest brood to help the ages
live
We need great mothers such as stant
apart
Amid the life of spirit and of heart
To train strong childrHn-as its broot
the dove
And give them up to service, and still
love!

There are two ways of leading in a

the other to lead in getting away. The

He who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day.

The building of new railroads

The building of new railroads is
simply one aspect of general move
ment for the exploitation of Georgia's
great stores of latent opportunity. In
vestments of every kind are increasing
steadily from year to year and, in
deed, from month to month. Hundreds
of acres of land are being brought in
to cultivation and productivity by set
tiers from other parts of the Union,
notably from the West.
The States agriculture has reached,
or is fast reaching, the stage of spec
ialization. New crops are being prof.
tably raised, new veins of natural
treasures are bein gturned to ac.
count. 1t is only within the past de-
cade that fruit growing and nut grow
ing have been undertaken with bust
nesslike purpose; and, yet, even within
this brief period of experiment, it has
become evident that for these indus
tries, Georgia is one of the most ad-
vantageous States in the country.
likewise with cattle breeding, truck
farming, poultry culture and kindred
pursuits. The States production Of
food stuffs and it's charging place in
the food markets of the nation have
an economical import that can scarce
ly be overgauged
The same observations applies to
larger fields of enterprise and invest
ment. The potential wealth of Geor-
gia's streams and water powers is just
coming into serious recognition. Her
growth in manufactures, though pro-
nounced enough, has really just begun.
The truth is there lies within this
State. where almost every type of soil
and climate and natural treasure are
to be found, vast stores of uudeveloped
wealth, richer than Ali Babas cave
and more wondrous in their POSSIBLE
tiles than the lamp of Aladdin.

Black Fox Farming.

There Is in Prince Edward island q
new development which is attracting
great attention In the shape Of rails
ing of fur bearing animals. 1t has
been proved that the climate of the
province is particularly suitable for
the breeding Of black foxes, and q
number Of farmers have embarked in
the industry with the most profitable
results. The fur Of the black fox,
owing to its. rarity, has become ex-
ceedingly valuable, and the commits,
sioner Of agriculture for Prince Ed
ward island states that q pair of live
foxes were sold recently for $4,000
and another pair for over $4,000.
The price OF this springs pups was
over $4,000 pair and a1,600 pair,
while cash deposit varying from 10
to rs per cent Is being paid for fox
cubs that are du. to be born in the
spring Of 1913. Black fox farming, az
It is called, does not entail any con-
siderable expense, the ranches con-
sisting usually of an acre Of ground
with steel wire enclosure about fifty
feet square for two pairs, containing
little houses for the animals.
