TO.DAY's BIRTHDAY HONORs.

Luis Munoz Rivera, Unionist, of San
Juan, was born in the town of Barran-
quitas, July II, 1859, and educated III
the public schools. At the age OF
twenty his writings were already pub
lished by most of the most progressive
papers Of the country. At thirty he
founded La Democracia, a daily news
paper in Ponce, for the purpose of op-
posing the Spanish colonial regime.
This paper IS still published by him in
San Juan. n 1895 he was sent to Ma
drid as a special representative of his
party. In 1899 he came for the first
time to Washington, in order to pro-
cure free trade relations between the
United States and Porto Rico. In 1910
he was elected resident commissioner
to Washington.

THE AMERICUS SPIRIT

Americas is not mushroom! The
growth of Americas has been steady
and continuous through a long period
Of years. Americas will continue to
grow. You can't keep a good town
down.
While nothing can keep Americas
from forging ahead, steadily and per-
sistently, and while nobody can keep
Americus from growing, everybody can
help Americas to grow
The vast majority Of Americas peo-
pie already have the proper spirit-the
Americas spirit-and boost the home
town at every opportunity. To tue
luke-warm, if there be any, we re-
spectfully make the following suggest
ions, which is needed in whole-hearted
action will double the population and
the business of Americas before 1920.
Speak a good word for Americas.
Speak a good word for the industries
of Americas.
Speak a good word for the future of
Americas.
Speak a good word for everybody in
Americas. CShould there be one in
town who deserves not a single good
word, let him hear everybody else so
well spoken of that he will get lone
some and move out.)
Patronize home industries.
Advise others to patronize home in
dustries.
Encourage the merchant who keeps
a clean store or shop.
Encourage the merchant whose
clerks are polite, patient and oblig-
ing.
When others speak of the adyant-
ages and beauties of other cities, al
ways finish the sentence for them with
Americas, too"
Remember that Americas is in Sum-
ter county.
Remeber that as Sumter county
prospers so will Americas prosper.
Remember that nothing is too good
for Americas and Sumter county.
Let us all, each in his own way,
boost our section. If man happens
to be poor, a kind word costs him
nothing. If any man, rich or poor,
feels grouchy, let him consult the
doctor, for knocking Americas will not
cure him-and it might hurt the limo
cent town.
The Times-Recorder hereby issues a
BUILDING PERMIT to every man, wo-
man and child in city or county;
BUILD AMERICUS!

Don't be gutter
Stick fast to the end!
There's no word like failure,
The whole worlds your friend;
The gods may seem tragic.
The shadows may sweep near
Don't be a gutter,
There's nothing to fear!
Don't be gutter
Cling tight to the sword!

The last blow that mounts
