the gathering.

Cliff c. Clay, the assistant commits
sioner of agriculture, is fast proving a
success in his new position. Mr.. Clay
is from Sumter county and was recent
ly named by Commissioner J. D. Price
to succeed the late Dan G. Hughes.
The agricultural department is al
most up in arms because every one
cannot attend the Elks convention.
Commissioner Price deems it essential
that he be there, and as long as it is
being held in the home city of Assist
ant Commissioner Clay he feels that he
should play part host and guest.
Anyway, somehow, it is confidently
expected that arrangements will be
perfected whereby Georgias farming
can attend.

MATTERS OF EDUCATION.

The question of compulsory educa-
ticn is one of the many uppermost in
the minds of Georgians. This matter
goes hand in hand with several urgent
matters which must receive the at
tention of the state legislature at their
next session.
The Times-Recorder is free and
plain to say that it fayors compulsory
education, 1t behooves the represen-
tatiyes and senator's of Georgia in the
coming session of the general as
scmbly, and those being elected this
year, to give this matter their very

ATLANTA, Ga.

Every one or possibly two
Americas people, might be skep-
teal about the attendance at
the state Elks convention which is to
be held in Americas on Thursday and
Friday, April 9th and 28th. If that
person would seize an opportunity to
vacate Americas for one day-which
possibly they have never done-it
could be easily learned that hundreds
and hundreds, yea thousands of people
will be in the city during the conven-
ton.
Every Elk in Atlanta has received
advertising matter concerning the big
meeting, and every Elk has promised
to attend or substitute a lawful legit-
innate excuse.
In prominent public places can be
seen the large banners advertising the
convention. Americas is on the map,
and the Elks of Georgia intend to in
scribe it indelibly on the surface next
week.
There'll be crowds, and more crowds.
Americas is prepared to take care OF
the gathering.

Captain James A. Fort, Of the Amer
icus Light Infantry, visited the mill
tary department of Georgia at the
state capitol this week, and from best
reports found Georgia and her nation
al guards in an excellent state of
preparedness. The standing of the
A. L. |. is excellent, and it is rumored
that the report on the last inspection
made there by the state and federal
officers was fiattering.
Captain Fort is on the staff of Gov
ernor Harris and paid his respects to
the officials. Captain Fort deserves
the rank of captain" in military life,
and some would bestow the title Of
colonel" in legal life.

earnest consideration.

OttI ACoL GOuSlu6IdIlOu.
The future of our state depends on
rosterity. The child of today is the
governor and statesman of tomorrow.
1t is for this offering which blesses
mankind that we must consider and
protect.
1t is being said that compulsory ed
uCatiOn is stroke at the individual
rights Of our citizens. The free and
unlimited right of an individual to do
as he pleases has never been and will
never be. He must be restrained,
curbed and controlled. If the educa.
ticn of the children of Georgia is
deemed paramount to the progress
and welfare of the state, then the
means to devise this way is placed
within the rights of our law-making
bodies, and the instructions for their
fulfillment is charged to the executive
department.
Compulsory education is not a
strike at the rights of an individual
II is a direct and essential mandate
that every child in Georgia must be
educated.
The state spends millions and mil
lions of dollars each year in the up
keep of our educational system A
majority of the children of every COM
lounity attend school, but for this
minority who are growing to maturity
in illiteracy it is necessary that the
law place some compulsion.
The rights of every man depend
upon and are related to the status of
society at large. Society is govern
ment, and the laws and sentiments of
the people are expressed in their
laws.
In every case where law appears
on our statutes, some rebelling person
defies its authority and breaks its for
biddings. This person is punished,
and although he may not respect the
law he is made to respect the author
ity of all laws.
Compulsory education is not a
strike at the rights of every man. but
a strong, determined way in COMPEL
ing the education of every child in
Georgia,

ONLY ONE COURSE.

az to his negotiations with Germany,
and the determination which the ex
ecutive department had reached in
fulfilling their obligations to the
government and humanity.
In all diplomatic negotiations with
Germany the president has displayed a
pleasing tone in his appeals on the
part of humanity. The keynote Of
mankind's service is to his fellow
man. To love thy neighbor as thy
SELF is an injunction of Divine orig
in.
The United States as a people have
grown impatient over the situation.
They were restless, although full
confidence in President Wilson has
been expressed by a vast majority OF
all true Americans. The president
has reached that stage which the peo-
pie occupied long ago. He too, is I'M
done and not to be outdone, is demand
ing of Germany the rights which all
Americans and neutrals have on the
high seas.
nnn &c IN q n
Americans life subject to the protec-
ton of his government around the
world, over the seas and in every
cline. An insisting upon these rights,
the high and lofty expression-hum-
anity, is employed.
International law prescribes GER
tain rules and regulations governing
the seas during times of peace and
times of war. These laws are immu-
table until they are replaced in the
nations which enacted them.
In full sympathy with their inteu-
tons and exactions President Wilson
on the part Of the United States has
represented these violations to Ger
many. They have squirmed and
wiggled. They have lied and backed.
They have convicted themselves by
their testimony. They are outlaws
among nations. AS a nation they oc-
.cupy the same position among coun-
tries as an individual who commits
murder.
No doubt exists as to Germany's
guilt. She has ravished the seas as
she did Belgium She knows no law
except her own law. She makes and
unmakes as she wills and pleases. She
Is as debased as nation as any indi-
vidual ever becomes.
Law-international law: law which
Germany made herself a party to, has
been violated. 1t behooyes every
American to stand full and square
shouldered in defense of this law.
Some say and usually Teutonic
sympathizers, that Americans have no
right on the seas on vessels flying a
flag of a nation at war with Germany
Has an American any right and pro-
lection at hands of the United States
government if he is found in France
in the event of German capture? His
rights there are the same rights which
surround him on the seas.
Law makes the president right, and
law makes the United States right
Right always prevails, and truth
crushed to earth shall rise again, the
eIeThal years are hers"
The president has been a man of
peace, and if war comes he will still be
man of peace, fighting in defense of
principles and convictions which his
nation holds. Humanity honors us
for our course, and humanity will
sing the praises of this nation when
the bleached bones of Kaiser Wilhelm
are sulking in the earth which gave
him birth.
President Wilson asked-are we
ready? He has made us ready and
let us hold our heads aloft as we have
since the days which honored Wash
ington, gave us Jefferson, and blessed
us with wilson

Change In Local Banks

Tuesday the control of the
German-American State Bank
changed hands when Edward
Braddock sold his controlling in
terest and Mrs. Braddock sold
her entire interest in the bank to
a company of bankers from Nc
lntosh county consisting of the
Messrs. Johnston, Heinrich,
Becker and Collins. While the
ownership of the controlling in
terest has gone into new hands,
the business end of the manage
ment remains practically the
same. Mr.. X. ]. Grain remains
as cashier and the stockholders
other than Mr.. and Mrs. Brad
dock retain their interests as be-
fore. In addition, Mr.. Braddock
becomes one of the minor stock
holders and withdraws from the
active management.
The German-American State
Bank is one of the two banks at
Emmons county's seat of govern
ment. 1t has always been a fine
property, even when there were
three banks operating here. 1t
has been built up by the untiring
energy of its former president
and founder, Edward Braddock.
However, because of his extern
sive land holdings and other
personal interests and because he
was fast reaching that point in
life at which one is entitled to
less toilsome days, Mr.. Braddock
decided to get away from the
active management of the bank
which has been his pride and in
which he will still be a stock
holder. Mr.. C. C. Becker, TO,
many years county official Of
Mcintosh county, will come tc
Linton as vice president and tt
devote his time to the banks in
terests. His son, Otto, will also
be here as assistant cashier
