A BELATED ACCOUNTING.
(By Quimby Melton.)


The public will doubtless pardon
rather late intrusion in explaining the
new editor and where he came from to
the people of Americas, Sumter coun
ty and Southwest Georgia. But, in
the changes being made, it must be
admitted that his pedigree was over
looked in the announcement that he
would assume new duties with the
Americas Times-Recorder.
The writer does this that the people
may know bit of his past, for that is
the only lamp by which the future
must be fathomed.
Cranston Williams is a native of
Augusta, Ca, he being born in that
city while his father, Editor jim VIII
liams, of the Greensboro Herald Journ-
al, was a part owner in the Augusta
Daily Herald. Leaving city journal
ism his father was editor and proprie
tor of the Washington Reporter, then
the Crawfordville Advocate Democrat,
| before going to Greensboro.
Mr.. Williams entered his fathers
newspaper office at the age of six
years, and there began his apprentice
ship which has led him through every
vile and feature of journalism. When
ten years of age he edited his own
paper, The Mirror, which enjoyed n
good circulation among his friends.
The new editor of the Americas pa
per completed his high school educa.
ton in Greensboro, and spent four
years at Emory college. Since he was
fourteen years old he has represented
the various dailies of the state as
correspondent, and did feature work
on number of Southern dailies.
Just before coming to Americas he
was engaged in New York with the
federal government in the Department
of Commerce, where he assisted in
| gathering the manufacturers census
Williams is native Georgian, a
typical Southerner, and a newspaper
man-three virtues which can over
whelm any vices.

THE VALUE TO SUMTER.

Sumter county may have two farm
demonstration agents. Its people evil
IDENTIFY do not think they can get too
much of good thing. Their interest
in the farm demonstration work COM
pares favorably with the feeling ir
some counties, but in only minority
of them, that the demonstration is not
worth his wages. 1t almost goes with
out saying that the right sort of man
will be worth to the county that EN-
ployes him as a demonstrator many
times what he costs.-Savanna

bride and groom presented regal
spectacle, never equaled since the
proud Cleopatra sailed down the per
fumed lotus-bearing Nile in her gild-
ed pageant to meet Mark Antony while
all the world stood agape at the un-

brides costume beggars the English
language and imagination falls faint

IS IT ILL-BECOMING?

The yesterday afternoon papers car
ried an Associated Press dispatch
which we reprint:
GARY, Ind, Aug. 25.-Rev. Ed
mond Kayser, pastor of the Luth-
eran church, at Tolleston, Ind,
was murdered last night. He was
found with bullet wound, a cord
tightly wrapped around his neck,
and the body in vacant lot adj
joining his home.
In the community there are
many Slav steel workers, and the
police officials were appealed to
on account of the recent threats
because of the pastors pro-Ger-
man utterances.

call attention to this news item. /.
