phe of 1906, they up and dive off-and
certainly there is no bottom.
Editor Gelders. of the Fitzgerald
Leader Enterprise, comes out this
week in great style for Governor Har-
ris. He tells the story well, and here's
what he has to say:
Tell Uncle Nat We Are With Him.
Tucked away inconspicuously and
toward the end of a newspaper account
of Governor Harris speech at Month
cello ON Monday were these two
paragraphs:
Governor Harris dwelt but lightly
upon the fact that he is a Confederate
Veteran and probably the last sold
Ter of the sixties whom Georgians will
be asked to vote for for high Office.
But he reproached his opponents for
trying to take away from him his Sec
ond term. which every governor since
the war had been given as an endorse
ment by the people.
They say they love me and honor
me and have no criticism to make of
me- he said. but they are trying to
GUST me from Office with the Cross of
Honor upon my breast and stain up
on my brow such as no other governor
has ever worn
Thing it over, Georgians!
I'VE have thought it over carefully
and deliberately, and our vote will be
cast next Tuesday for Uncle Nat Har-
ris for governor. Governor Harris is
entitled to second term for his faith
full services to the state The thought
full voters will next Tuesday honor
themselves by honoring their gov
ernor"

10 OUR SUBSCRIBERS

The extraordinary scarcity OF news
paper required in all newspaper Of
dces. coupled with the unprecedented
rise in prices, forces the Times-Re-
corder to announce that all subscrib-
ers who do not Immediately pay their
arrears on subscriptions, will of nee
essity cause the paper to be discontin
ned.
The free list of every newspaper
is being revised, even to the extent OF
the .discontinuance of exchanging pa
pers with others, and the Times-Re-
corder is forced to adopt the same
measures.
We trust the public will readily ap-
preciate the conditions under which
AtaEs newspapers are operating, and re-
quest their immediate attention.

THE 1917 FAIR.

1t is an excellent example of bust,
ness discretion for the stakeholder:
OF the Third Agricultural District fail
to postpone the occasion until 1917
The fair has been discussed a great
deal in Americas and Sumter county
during the past several months, but il
vas only during the past few weeks
that actual work was begun-the kline
that meant the physical presentation Of
a fair which would be a credit to the
city, county and district
Fairs are not built in a day, and the
more lasting kind require some time
for their construction. The stockhold.
ers intend to avail themselves of ev-
cry minute between now and the show
dates during the week for 1917 in pre-
pairing for the fair.
These buildings will be carefully
erected, and the plans will be carefully
arranged and completed
1t is the opinion of the Times-Re-
corder that the Third Agricultural
District Fair has an excellent body
o. men for their officials, and that the
fair will prosper under the more
close direction of the new secretary,
Mr.. P A. Fenimore.
1t was not financial trouble, as
would be thought at frst-it was only
common sense which told level-headed
business men what to do, and how to
do it.

RESULTS OF FOUR
TESTS FOR FRANKLIN

Here are the com bined results of
four individual tests Of the new Sc
ries nine Franklin car embracing
runs agsregating goal miles.
Average sustained speed over good
and bad roads-25 miles an hour
Average number Of miles covered
per gallon of gasoline consumed
%.
Average number Of miles per gal
Ion of oil used-aboUt $50.
1t is well known that 20 miles an
hour is the most economical speed
at which 10 run a car. At a faster
rate the wind resistance is proper
tionately greater and the road
shocks are more severe. To MAIN
tain an average speed of % miles an
hour for 6O41 miles it is necessary to
drive with Wide-Open throttle when
ever possible in order TO compensate
for slow running over bad roads,
speed regulations in towns and cities,
etc.
This Franklin economy record is
particularly remarkable in the face
of the high-speed running condi-
tons. That no tire trouble was ex-
perienced over the entire distance
shows the value of light weight, es-
pecially below the springs-a point
which the Franklin engineers have
developed with good results.
The four tests which, combined,
go 10 make the economy record were
as follows:
j. w. Mccormack of Pendleton,
ore, took one of the first Of the
new Franklin cars from the factory
at Syracuse, y. Y, in July. and
drove the 3,025 miles to Pendleton
averaging 21.7 miles per gallon of
gasoline.
Clifford Lenders of Cincinnati. O..
a Franklin dealer, in August drove a
Franklin car from Syracuse to Gin
cinnati, SS7 miles, averaging 27
miles for each gallon of gasoline.
/ w. NJ. Phillip in August drove
from Syracuse to Lexington, KY, at
an average speed of 21.41 miles per
hour and with an average of 25.7
miles per gallon of gasoline con-
sumed.
+. F. williams drove from the
Franklin plant TO Kansas City, Mo,
making the highest average speed in
the four Franklin tests-2S.61 miles
per hour for the 1868 miles He
got an average of 2O.21 miles on
each gallon of fuel.
The great consistency of perfor-
nance as we'll as reliability and
economy shown, may be attributed
to careful designing of the Frank
lin car to secure light weight. resih-
ency and low fuel consumption.
