VILLAS SENTENCE.

Francisco Villa, the Mexican outlaw,
bandit, murderer an dthief, has had
his sentence passed by the United
States government officially--the peo-
IIe themselves had passed sentence
lon gago. 1t only remains now for
Major General Frederick Funston and
"a force as large as he desires to hunt
down this desperate bandit with his
force of co-conspirators.
The natural outgrowth in official
Washington after the Columbus mas
sacre was an order for the body of
Eilla-dead or alive. No one who had
studied President Wilson and his pol
icies contended for a moment that he
would let the incident pass unnoticed.
And it is now seen how readily con-
fgress awaited his action-and they are
now ready to applaud.
1t may be necessary to fight a united
Mexico. Carranza is a Mexican, built
from the common mould which formed
all, Treachery, or stern persuasion
from his own people, might force him
to look with disfavor on our entry in
to Mexico.
The Turbulence of that land has been
thorn in the peace of our nation and
lis politics.
While Funston is there it might be
well to sweep clean.

ANENT SOUTH GEORGIA.

Several of the weekly papers of the
state have made their comment on the
more or less smouldering fight led by
prominent citizens of Ware county as
to the alleged rule of Georgia politics
b. Atlanta politicians. The papers of
5 Juth Georgia join in the movement of
the gentlemen from Ware. And it is
to be admirJed that Atlanta and some
OF her politicians exert a wide infu-
ence in Georgia affairs.
1t is proposed by these gentlemen of
Ware that John W. Bennett, of Way
cross, shall be elected as Georgia's
member of the national Democratic
executive committee, thereby defeat
ing Clarke Howell, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution. Together with
the argument in favor of Mr.. Bennett
goes certain charges as to manipula-
tons and maneuvers in Atlanta pre-
c2ding the meeting of the state execu-
tive committee several weeks ago.
According to the gentlemen of Ware
Mr.. Howell and Mr.. Gray made such
as they thought COM
plete for the reelection Of MI. How
ell and the selection of Nil Gray as
chairman of the Georgia delegation to
the St Louis convention.
As the Time Recorder said in a re-
cent editorial anent this matter it
does not seem just fair and right for
the people Of south Georgia to be
aroused by this loud wailing against
Conditions in gener.l as they regard
Atlanta politicians; plans be laid for
the defeat of Mr. Howell-but not one
wcrd as to the propaganda against
NJ Gray. These gentlemen state that
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-03-12

the matter of Mr.. Gray's selection as
chairman lies with the delegates-not
yet elected. This is very good-but
WY shouldn't Mr.. Gray be made to
answer the same questions. If the
campaign against Mr.. Howell is laid
on such fundamental rights and es-
sentials, then why not the same kick
against Mr.. Gray.
The only bad feature apparently on
lis surface is that Mr.. Howell comes
from the faction in Georgia politics
which dates back in the history to the
time when he and Hoke Smith were on
opposite sides. Mr.. Bennett is an ard
ent admirer of Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Gray
Is likewise a stalwart lieutenant of
Mr.. Smith.
1t is not the purpose to attempt to
open up these old sores-for if there
is a possible way to have peace in
Georgia politics, we want it regardless
of the way, the cost and the price.
But this paper objects to discrimin-
ations in a fight waged on a general
condition, selecting the targets fol
death rather than shooting every one
in sight.
The people of Georgia believe they
see this much in the fight on Mr.
I Howell.

THE w. & A. ROAD.

Already the Recorder has
commented on the state road to the eff
feet that we believe it should be sold.
The Marietta Chamber of Commerce
has passed resolutions condemning the
ACT of the general assembly last sum-
nler which forbid the paralleling of the
state road That body insists that it
is a legislative act which stunts the
growth of their own community, as
every city, town and village wants
new railroads, more capital, new bust
ness.
The position of the Marietta organi-
zation certainly deserves serious con-
sideration from the state, as it speaks
TIE convictions and opinions of num-
erous towns and counties along the
line of railway from Atlanta to the
Tennessee line.
Governor Harris has not come out
Gat-footed for the sale of the road,
hut puts the people on notice that it is
a matter for careful and thoughtful
consideration He is open for convic-
ton and shOuld he form A careful D1an
for the future of the W. & A. road with
the best interests of the state furterh-
ed, and interest the general assembly
in the necessity for some action, he
will have performed a service for the
state of far more consequence than
any of his predecessors.

bred dollars to be paid down to each
Confederate soldier and Confederate
soldiers widow, and each receiving
thereafter thirty dolalrs per month
during their lives. This is to urge
you to hold meetings and pass resolu-
tons in favor of said bill to work up
sentiment in it's favor throughout the
South and to write to your senator's
and representatives, asking them o
support the measure This is a bill
that the Southern soldier and the
South can we'll accept, and this is the
/ first time a serious effort has been
made to pass bill of this kind. By
all means become active and exert
every honorable influence to promote
the passage of this just measure.

THE NEWSPAPER TALK

The farmers of Laurens would
doubtless count on making a big cot
ton crop this year, if they could secure
the proper fertilizers. The price of
such fertilizers as they are able to get
are so high they will prove prohibit
tive. So it is useless to expend much
worry about the farmers planting all
in cotton this year.-Laurens Citizen.

POLL OF NEWSPAPERS.

The Literary Digest contained a poll
Of newspapers Of the United States on
the question of preparedness in its is
sue this week, and the following ex-
tracts relate to the attitude of prom
i1ent Georgia newspapers:
'Mr Clark Howell, editor of the At
lanta Constitution, says that his journ>
al fayors action along the line of Presi-
dent wilson's recommendations, while
the Atlanta Journal indorses ex-Secre-
tGry Garrison's army-program, and
advocates a navy second to none in
the world. Our Navy should be sec
ord only to that of England's, is the
Onion of the Macon Telegraph, which
Ispeaks tor a standing army of 100000,
with National Guard or other organ
izations capable of supplying, in case
cf need, about 100000 more. In addi-
ton, this journal recommends a meas
ure of cadet-training for high-school
boys, and, as for militarism, says that
Americans have too much korse-sense

the Navy except that "for reasons 9TH
er than war we should be content

est navy in the world and the first

nit there is possible danger of mil
ltarism, but claims there is a greater
peril in depending only on the dove
for navy and the olive-branch' for
armies" The Rome Tribune Herald

FROM THE OFFICE BOY.

There ain't no use in rushing into your winter handkerchiefs, as the weather prognosticator today issued an edict to the effect that the temper ature, which yesterday took a severe tumble will rise tomorrow. The of ticial forecast follows: Tonight, fair; Wednesday, fair with slowly rising temperature.
 This announcement was received with unbounded pleasure by the com nittees in charge of the gigantic Democrat jubilee, to be staged here tonight. Hopes for big event went glmmering last night when rain and sleet began falling, but with the weather birds prediction of fair and warmer weather, the long faces so much in evidence last night relaxed considerably.

ORGANIZED FIGHT ON
 CATTLE TICK UPHELD
Supreme Court Maintains Statute Is
 Laws Apply Under Eradication.

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-The Arkan- sas supreme court Monday sustained the validity of the northwest tick eradication district created by the last legislature, but the act author izing the board of control of the az ricultural experiment station to pro vide penalties for violation of the statute was held void. The court held that penalties prescribed for misdemeanors under the general law would apply under the tick eradica- tion law.
 Kirby's Digest provides that in cases where laws do not specify pen alties for their violations the general statute shall apply. The legislature, when it passed the tick eradication law, invested in the board of control power to enact rules and regulations and to provide penalties for their violations. The court held that the latter power lay in the legislature The section of Kirby's Digest the court held as being applicable under the statute provides a fine of not more than $250 or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, for violating it's provisions.
 Justice w. F. Kirby did not concur in the decision handed down on the case.

 At such spare time as the teachers can get, preparations are being made for the school exhibit staged for the week following Thanksgiving.
 Following are the new pupils this week: Freda and Howard Kissinger, Lucy Keathley, Chester King, Thomas Nelson and Ollie King.
 We want our patrons to understand that they are welcome at the school at all times. Our only requirements of visitors are that they slip into and out of the rooms quietly so as not to attract the attention of the pupils from their work. Teachers are not expected to converse with visitors during work hours more than is nec- essary, so our visitors are not to feel that they are not wanted because the teacher pay little or no attention to them. Visit the room when and as long as you will and talk with the teacher about it later.
