Times-RscOrder Changes Hands

The most important change Of
the New Year in the newspaper
world in Georgia was the sale Of The
Americas Times-Recorder by Mr..
Thomas Gamble to Mr.. G. R. Ellis,
Of Americas. Mr.. Gamble has left
the newspaper field in Americas to
devote all his time to his trade pa
per, the Naval Stores Review,
which is much more convenient to
Mr.. Gamble in his home in Savan-
nah.
Mr.. Gamble is one of the best ed
itorial writer's in Georgia, and in
this particular, as well as in many
others, he has made the Times-Re-
corder a conspicuous example OF
South Georgia journalism. Under
his aggressive a new mechanical
plant has been installed in the Office
Of the paper. The paper has been
enlarged to eight pages and made
in all particulars one Of the best pa
pers in Georgia. His associates in
newspaper work throughout this
section Of the state will miss Mr..
Gamble.
With the management OF the pa
per in the bends Of Mr.. G. r. Ellis,
one of the best known attorneys and
business men Of Americas, who has
also had active experience in news
paper work before, the paper should
continue to be an excellent one.
The announcement is made that the
paper will be managed by the same
news and mechanical stats that
have been in charge in the past.
The Journal wishes much prosperity
and success to The Times Recorder
in the New Year.

Rainfall Averages.

The Herald published yesterday
a tabulated statement, furnished by
our local weather observer, D. W.
Brosnan, showing the rainfall in this
locality during the year 1912. The
precipitation for each month Of the
year was given, and the total
amounted to 1882 inches, which
exceeds that of any year since the
record has been kept, except for
the year 1907, which showed 64.67.
This record year of rainfall was FOL-
lowed by four lean, or dry years,
the rainfall ranging down in the
forties," 1909 showing up with
only 41.85 inches.
During the year just closed we all
knew that we we're getting an I'M
usually heavy rainfall all over the
state, and we recall the fact that the
section south and east of US claimed
to be getting more than their share
of the floods, This claim now APP
pears to be borne out by the official
statement OF the rainfall at Thomas
vile, as published tn the Times
Enterprise. This statment shows a
total rainfall of 71.21, at Thomas
vile, while we had only 1882 at
Albany, They had 1913 inches in
April and 1912 in September at
Fhomasville, while we had only 8. 10
and 5.24 inches, respectively, for
the same months at Albany.
We nots that the total rainfall at
Macon for 1912, as published in the
Telegraph, was 61.7 inches, which
seemed to bear out the claim that
there was q gradual increase in the
rainfall, proceeding southwark
through the state. Albany Herald.
