about on the edge of trouble in appar-
ent uncertainty, as to a consistent
course.
Many Americans of wealth and great
influence desire Intervention at almost
any time on almost any pretext. They
are the railroad capitalists, the timber
men, the owners of rich and prolific
mines, the eXploiters or would-be eX-
ploiters of Mexico's rich resources
With them are not a few army and
navy men WHO desire war for its pro-
fessional opportunities; and some civil
ians who are jingoes from pure folly
of temperament.
Against such men, such interests and
such wishes the sober public opinion %
the United States is overwhelmingly
preponderant. Sincere regret. unat-
fected sorrow at a neighbours misfor-
tune, will prevail at the news of yes
terday's fighting in Mexico. If the
dark picture of conditions there per
mits hope, it is that even civic
strife in the capital may be prefer
able to anarchy in the provinces, as
promising a speedier settlement of the
troubles.
Mexico's road to peace, free consti
tutional government and social re-
forms was longer and thornier than
it may have seemed when the old Bic
tator, Poririo Diaz. resigned, SO short
a time ago. On every inch of it, how
ever long, she should be we'll assured

of the South Georgia Progress be ac-
cepted. The Mayor and Council adopt

The point we make is that the bid Of
The Times-Recorder to do the public
printing of the city at the rate of &c
per line was withheld and not reported
to the Mayor and Aldermen, and that
this Withholding of our alternative bid
which we thought was just and equit-
able, and which We thought would be
accepted by the city, was unfair to us.
If this bid had been accepted, the city
would have paid for services render

think this would be right The inter
est of The Times-Recorder and the
people of Americas are necessarily
mutual, and we do not believe that the
taxpayers and fair minded people Ct
the city want us to do the public print
ing for less than proper business rates.
# The Times-Recorder does not re-
ceive pay for legitimate business a.
legitimate rates, it cannot be the sue
cess demanded by the people.
1t may be said that if our bid of sc
per line had been reported by the FL
nance Committee to the Mayor and
Council, the results would have been
the same. That may be true, but the
bid was asked for, it was made in good
faith and we were entitled to a hear
ms anu We w iOl CnlIlh JudI JIle IdIl-
IRE to report this bid was in harmony
with fair dealing. We may be wrong,
but We pause to ask the taxpayers of
the city and every fair-minded citizen
who loves right and hates wrong
whether we have had a fair deal.
The laws of the State of Georgia re-
Ouire that real legal advertisements of
a municipal corporation shall be pub
lished in the newspaper where the
sheriff's sales of the county are pup
lished, and The Times-Recorder will
continue to do this class of advertis-
ing for the city as fixed by law, though
the action of the Mayor and Council
sought to take it from US.
We think the taxpayers of the city
prefer to have all public printing pub
llshed In daily paper. The bid nf
The Times-Recorder provided for the
publication of all matters in its daily
and would as matter of law, have
been published in the Weekly Times
Recorder We mention this as the bid
of The Times-Recorder would appear
to be much larger than that of the
South Georgia Progress if the charac-
ter of service is not considered. #
the bid of The Tfmes-Recorder hal
been to publish the legal advertising
of the city in the Weekly Times Re
corder, without publishing it in tne
Daily Times-Recorder also, then our
bid would have been smaller.

We hope to make The Times-Ro-

a credit to Americas. We are plan
ming to this end, but it will take both
time and money to perfect these
plans.

of all our people, and we expect to
give them value received. We shall
endeavor to be fair under all condi-
tons, and if we happen to be wrongel
by others. we shall not retaliate by
doing another wrong We shall simply
mention the wrong, and ask for fair
play, and continue to do what we can
for the progress of Americas, and the
betterment of our people.
