IlmeS- Recorder 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 Gam
BILE, Jr, to Mr.. G. REllis of Americus
Mr.. Gamble has left the newspaper
field in Americas to devote all his time
to his trade paper, The Naval Stores
Review, which is much more conven-
lent to Mr. Gamble in his home in
Savannah.
Mr. Gamble is one of the best edi-
torial writer's in Georgia. and in this
particular, as well as in many others
he has made The Times Recorder a
conspicuous example of South Georgia
journalism. Under his aggressive man
agement, new mechanical plant has
been installed in the office of the pa
per. The paper has been enlarged to
eight pages, one of the best papers in
Georgia. His associates in newspaper
work throughout this section OF the
state will miss MIR. Gamble.
With the management of the paper
in the hands of Mr.. G. R. Ellis, one Of
the best known attorneys and bust
ness men of Americus, who has also
had active experience in newspaper
work before, the paper should con
tinue to be an excellent one. The an
nouncement is made that the paper
will be managed by the same news aud

THE SOUTHERN PRIMARIES

The complete failure of the Progress
sive party at the last election to shake
a single Southern State from the
Democratic column gives force to the
argument which has just been maoe
by Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
in an open letter to the legislature o.
that State urging strict laws to safe
guard primary elections.
Under the present primary systa n
in the Southern States, the result OF
such elections is final. The general
election held later is a mere formality.
Senator Tillman, however, points GU,
that unles the rules and regulations
governing the primary are mails so
plain and of such a just and reas IN
able nature as to compel honesty ard
fair play, the system is doomed ard
the people of the State will settle
their political differences at the polls
in November just as they do now u
all border and Northern States"
1t is quite apparent that the better
classes of South Carolina are with
Senator Tillman in his denunciati9n
of the fraud which now characteri ses
the primary system. The people q
the South were grateful for that sys-
tenn originally, because it gave them
in effect two parties drawn from tn
ranks of Democracy which could have
free and fair fight at the polls, en-
abling the voters to choose betwe -
two men of different types and plcdg-
I'd to different principles
The failure of the Progressive party
to make even a dent in the Solid
/ South" indicates that it will be long
time before the Democratic party has
real rival in that section of the
country. The health of the organization
and the competition that produces
clean candidates and able administra-
tors must, therefore, come from with
in. The party thought it had the solu-
ton in the primary system, but the ell
ection of Cole Blease as governor was
rude awakening The Southe"H
newspapers that were most enthusiasts
tic for the primary system now admit
that strict laws must be passed tC
protect it from fraud, or that the sys-
tenn itself must be abandoned. AS thC

COUNTY FAIR FOR SUMTER

1t is time even now that an effort is
being made to get a county fair for
Sumter county this fall This Is one
of the greatest needs of the county in
the way of a wholesome stimulus to
work at home and publicity abroad.
WHY is it that Sumter county with ali
its wealth and rich resources has not
already a permanently organized coun-
ty fair association is thing that
would be hard to explain to one who
is unfamiliar with the county.
To the aggressive and enterprising
citizen of the county the absence OF a
county fair must appear as a thing for
which apology should be offered. Yet
there is no plausible reason why the
county has no organization of this
kind for its own aid and for the aid Of
the counties in this immediate section.
Whatever reasons may be assigned,
one is forced to acknowledge that the
primary cause is an Indifference and
carelessness that is regrettable.
Not for one moment can one offer
the argument that the county does not
need or is not able to support an en-
terprise of this kind. 1t needs this
helpful publicity as much as any
county in the state needs it, and GER
tainly there is no county in Georgia,
or anywhere else, that is suffering
from too much legitimate and helpful
publicity. OF course the county needs
a fair. 1t is the fault of the residents
of the county, too, that there is 40
permanently organized fair association
here.
But this good year 1913 should see a
radical change in this particular. Mt
another year should be permitted tc
pass without the establishment upon a
firm basis of county fair association
whose sole purpose and endeavo1
shall be to give Sumter county in
cry way possible the widest and mos
satisfactory publicity industrially and
agriculturally that such an institution
can give. The entire county would be
greatly benefited by such an organ
ization. What is needed most is fol
some one to start the organiza iop Ci
a fair with the purpose of making il
permanent for the good of this county
and section.

ward Chicago. Two important meet

committion and the other of the CLUB
owners of the American association,
were scheduled here. Both meetings,
it was announced would be executiva.
The national commission was to hear
reports for the last year of President
August Hermann and Secretary
John Bruce and elect officers It
was expected that both of the Off
Gals would be reelected.
Hermann and President Thomas
Lynch, of the National league, with
President Ban Johnson, of the Ameri-
can league, constitute the governing
body in baseball.
The uniform contract, making il
necessary for all clubs to use The
same kind of contracts, was to come
up for discussion The proposition, 1t
was expected, would meet with oppo-
sition from President Johnson, who is
said to favor club owners of smaller
leagues, who want contracts drawn
according to their owA ideas.
