Reasons For Defeat.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE reasons for
the Allies military failures in the
Balkins are given by correspondent
with the Allied army, and are as fol-
lows
First-Started too late.
Second-Force at immediate disposal
CT Allies inadequate for task allotted,
while the Typographical conditions nee
essitated virtual creation of new
means for transporting supplies.
Third-Failure of Greece to respond
to the expectations of the Allies.
Fourth-The fact that the Serbians
retreated westward into Montenegro,
instead of southwark toward Saloniki,
where they could unite with the En-
teBte Allies.

Editorial.
THE POWER TO ELECT

Wednesday, the voters Of Americus
will decide an important question in
the way which they cast their balloss
ca the proposed amendment to the
city charter regarding the election CT
members of the Board of Education.
The proposed amendment woul !
make the City Council the body with
the power of election, but would dives.
them of the power of nomination.
In a manner, the City Council could
elect the members of the Board of Ed
ucation, and would be responsible for
their choice, but would not have the
power to say whom they might care
to select.
The Board of Education as compos-
&c at present is a body of upright, in
telligent and responsible citizens. 1t
is no reflection on their ability to NOM
mate or even elect the members, but
the power is divided contrary to the
spirit of our government
If a body of men such as L. G.
Council, Lynn Bell, H. o. Jones, N. NJ
Dudley, j. E. Poole. [. J, Kalmon and
Reese Horton are capable of electing
the members of the Board Of Educa-
tion, why are they not fitted to nomi-
nate these members?
Restraint and restriction thrown
around any body makes it unable to
work with the greatest facility nd
good.
The City Council is answerable to
the people for their conduct because
the people placed them in their posi-
tions. And if they are the direct
agents of the people, why should thew
rot be allowed to express tteir will as
the will of the people-directly?
The City Council is certainly capa-
BILE of nominating if they are worthy
to elect.

SHOPPERS BEGIN
VERY STRENUOUS
CAMPAIGN TODAY
WEEK PROMISES THE BEST OI'
SEASON HERE.

With just ten days remaining upon
the scroll of time ere Santa comes to
Americus, the procrastinating shopper
came upon the firing line today and
continued exceedingly busy until
nightfall In fact, the delayed buyers,
including the cohort of onlookers and
come-backers, were in evidence yester-
day quite as well, and merchants dror-
ped from their visage the cerulean
blue worn lately and replaced it with
the smile that sticks like a widow "a
year after"
Business picked up wonderfully, AMI
ell indications point to a fine holiday
trade with the live dealers who,
through the Times-R Recorder. invite
people to their stores. Others, evil
IDENTIFY, do not care fur business.
The store decorations are elaborate
and beautiful, and never fail to catch
the eye and elicit the admiration of
passers-by. Holiday goods of everv
description are attractively displayed.
and in the many Americus stores one
cannot fail to be suited in Xmas Sc
lections. Never have stocks been
larger, or handsomer.
While Americus people are, OF
course, buying literally, the same il
true with the out-of-town trade COM
ing here daily from Dawson, Brolt-
wood, Ellayille, Buena Vista, La
Crosse, Leesburg, Smithville, Cordelc.
DeSoto, Leslie, Cobb, Huntington, Al
Jacksonville, Montezuma, Oglethorpe,
Preston, Plains, Lumpkin, Richland,
and, in fact, all towns within radius
Of fifty miles. Dozens come daily by
auto and train.
The weather promises to continuc
ine throughout the week and in such
event the merchants here will see
heavy inroads made into their hand
some stockks. Look over the Times
Recorder and you will always see what
you want and where to buy it. Do it
today and avoid the rush later.

STATE JOIN COUNTY
IN F|GHT FOR BACK
TAXES ON RAILROAD

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 1.-THE state
will join with Richmond county, rep
resented by Pierce Brothers, in case
to have put on the tax books of the
state a total of $2,440,00O of railroad
holdings and to collect back taxes for
the past seven years on that valuation.
Ben E. Pierce has been here in con-
ference with the attorney general, WHO
later conferred with the governor on
the case, and decided that the staet
will become joint plaintiff.
Representing the county of Rich
rnond and the board of education, the
law firm holds that $4,000 shares of
capital stock of the Western Railway
of Alabama, valued at 81 1,250, 900, which
formerly was returned by the Georgia
Railroad and Banking company; $31,-
600 of bonds of the Monroe railroad
company, and $4,000 of the bonds of
the Union Point and White Plains rail-
road property are taxable in this state
at face value, and that the taxes fo'
the past seven years not collected on
them are due to the state che holders
cf the two sets of bonds at one time
put valuation of $4,000 and $4,000
on them, but the comp
troller general is now asked to list
them at face value.
The position of Richmond county is
that aafter the United States supreme
court held in 1904 that these securi-
ties were taxable, the Georgia Raj
road and Banking company made a
conveyance of the $4,000 sharse Of
stock for consideration of $40, and
under two similar instruments coll
veyed the two sets of bonds as well, t.
the lesses of the Georgia railroad, the
total consideration being $4,000, and
that since that time the Georgia Rail-
road and Banking company has been
making a return of $3S 5000 on rever~
sicnary interest in all these securities,
and has been paying taxes on that re-
turn, whereas at their own valuation
they should have been returning IAN
nually since 1904 at the rate of ST.
295 900. The county holds, however,
that even that is incorrect, and the
true value to be taxed is $1.365,000.

HEAD OF SYRIAN
COLONY ATTEMPT.
SUICIDE MONDAY

E. Azar, the well known Syrian fruit
dealer and recognized head of the
Syrian colony in Americus, is lying in
precarious condition at the hospital
as the result of we'll nigh successful
attempt at self-destruction, committed
early last night at his home on Nortn
Lee street.
In a supposed fit of dependency the
aged Syrian plunged a knife into his
left breast in the region of the heart,
although the keen blade missed that
vital organ.
Not only was a deep stab wound ef-
fected, but strong wrench of the
knife cut wide wound half way
around the heart, it is said
Azar was conveyed to the Americus
Hospital as quickly as possible, where

with possible fatal results, even though

Azar has resided in Americus more
than dozen years, and by thrift and
industry had accumulated considera-
bic money This he lost in the two
bank failures here a year or more ago,
and it is thought that this loss, with
possibly other troubles, prompted the
act.
Early in the summer he went with
lis family to Philadelphia to reside,
but month or two ago returned tn
Americus to engage in the fruit busi-
ness again.

LORDS PRAYER AS
SAID IN GERMANY !

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec 14.-A we'll
known Savannah business man has re-
ceived from his brother who is now in
Germany, letter in which the latter
gave him literal translation from the
German of the Lords prayer, as it is
being taught to and said by the Ger
man soldiers in the trenches. The
translation follows:
'"Our Father, who AIT in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread
and never let German soil become the

our trespasses-and help us not to
commit new ones-as we forgive those
Who have transgressed against us.
Lead us not into temptation; vouch

MRS. " 7. STEWART
