has drawn upon small streams instead
for its supply.
Several months ago the duPonts
purchased the Willard Layton farm in
order to acquire a water supply. The
water there is of exceptionally good
quality, but the supply is said to be
insufficient. In trying to augment the
supply by pumping direct from the
reservoir instead of letting the water
run out by gravity, engineers find
that they have damaged the wooden
pipe line. An average of 5000 gallons
of water minute is being pumped.

HER PAIR OF SHOES

The girl worked in a five and ten
cent store for the magnificent wage
of SIS a week. Her mother took in
washing to help support the family
consisting Of two smaller children,
and a lazy good for nothing father.
This man was too lazy to even look
for work. He would leave home late
in the forenoon and sit all day on
park benches reading dime novels.
He spent his evening and mornings
lying in bed, reading novels, smok
ing his pipe and rushing the cam
his wife and daughter providing the
money.
The girl needed shoes. The wrecks
she wore from falling from her feet.
To prevent picking up splinters from
the rough boards on which she stood
all day behind the counter, she pro-
tected the bottoms Of her feet by in
serting pasteboard insoles. Her
evenings she spent with her feet in
warm water to reduce the swelling
and soothe her tired feet.
Each week she took her unopened
pay-envelope home toNher mother.
Each week she was promised So
with which to buy her new shoes.
But there was always need for the
money she earned to supply the
family larder; to provide beer and
tobacco for her lazy father. Just how
the half-slave shop girl finally sue
cumbed to relentless fate and "sold
out for a pair of shoes" is to be pic
torially related in Bluebird Photo
play at the Evangeline Theatre on
Saturday December 30th in a great
moral and sociological revelation en-
titled "Shoes."
There is a lesson in this feature
for every father and mother who
have made themselves responsible
for the welfare of a daughter-it
exponds the greatest problem ever
essayed in moving pictures and does
it deftly, clearly and with gripping
interest.

THE LATE w. J. b.

Several papers over Georgia are
clarifying the late William Jennings
Bryan, although fully cognizant of his
action towards the Democratic party
and our government during the past
several years.
w. j. B. may work himself into a
/ seat in the national Democratic con-
vention at st. Louis, via the proxy
route, but with this slim credential it
is not likely that he will receive a
voice on the floor. A deaf ear is too
mild for his reception.
Golfers Weekly writes Interestingly
Of the late 16 to / orator and gen
eral all-round man who has been more
or less prominent at several gather
ings of Democrats. In an editorial
they have the following to say:
"Those who seek reasons for the
political demise of William Jennings
Bryan will gain much enlightment
from an article by John Reed. Pro-
ceeding upon the Socratic principles
that a dogmatist can be brought to
confusion simply by the presentation
Of his beliefs, Mr.. Reed has elected
from Mr.. Bryan the astonishing ad-
mission that he has not added any
thing of moral principle to his char
acter since he was twenty-one. This
fact of intellectual stagnation is of a
piece with the 'Comomner's' senti-
mental philosophy. Moreover, this
belief, that the intricate problems of a
distracted world can be settled by
simple piety, accounts for much of MIR.
Bryan's popularity. There is nothing
more attractive to unlettered minds
than the display of handful of
knockdown arguments advertised like
patent medicines to settle all disputes.
Not even the spectacle of a world war
will stir these homely philosophers
from their fatuous belief in the legis-
latiye efficacy Of hymn singing and
the righteous might of few pictur-
esque and sentimental precepts. The
truth is Mr.. Bryan is an evangelist
with very simple and childlike mind.
AS such he has been and still can be
and we hope will be-of very great
use in the world. To have put him, in
these anxious days rapidly changing
ethical and legal adjustments, in
charge Of our delations with foreign
powers is an ironic jest of Democratic
government. He was as out of place
as Billy Sunday would have been"

THE LAW is LAW.

The first session of a Sumter county
grand jury since the new state prohi-
bition laws became effective will con-
yene Monday morning with the regular
session of the superior court They
will doubtless, enter into an investiga-
ton of conditions in Sumter county,
and their actions should receive the
hearty approval of the people.
Although the new law has been in
effect seventeen days not single vio-
lation has been reported in the city or
county. Only one charge of drunkness
has been made In Americus. This can
speak two ways for the county, and
the Times-Recorder sincerely trusts it
speaks in the best way.
Other cities and counties in the state
are having varied experiences with the
new law, and on every hand there
seems to be general aggressive action
for the fulfillment of the demands OF
the law. 1t is expected that this will
be the case in this county where the
occasions demand it.
The Times-Recorder stands for the
enforcement of this law and all other
laws. If they are wrong, then repeal
the acts, and if they are right, enforce
them.
The people of the county look to-
wards their officials for the enforce.
ment of the prohibition and all Other
laws. They must not be found un'
faithful to the trust AS a servant Of
the people the Times Recorder stands
e. the first ranks ready to back the
law.

A PROUD TRIBUTE.

No man can deny that he is not
proud when it is said of him, he was
faithful to his duties, his people and
lis principles. To be faithful to a
trust is more valuable than gold with
all its power.
Congressman w. c. Adamson, Of
the fourth Georgia district, occupies
the engied position along with other
Georgia congressman, of having been
praised by President Wilson for his
faithfulness to the administration and
his party.
Less can be said of several other
Georgia officials in congress, and to
the regret of this commonwealth. The
following dispatch is interesting be-
cause of the tribute paid to Congress-
man Adamson
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The New
York Sun today publishes a dispatch
from Panama saying that Congress
man w. G. Adamson, Of Carrolton, Ga.
is slated for appointment as governor
of the canal zone to succeed Genera
George w. Goethals, whose term viii
soon expire.
Judge Adamson declares that he has
been rendered no appointment by thu
president and is not an applicant fol
any federal appointment. The judge
friends attribute the report to those o
the Fourth district who are seeking
his removal from congress. AS mat
ter of fact, the president regards a
indispensable Judge Adamson's lead
ership in the house as committet
chairman, and has said that if "all tn
democrats would act as Adamson doe
in supporting the administration AM
the solidity of the party that the su
premacy of the party in the countr.
could be secured for fifty years"

We have plenty of able and efficient
officers to direct our fighting forces in
the event we have to fight, but what
we need is more men and more vessels
to do the fighting. Secretaries Deniel
and Baker are alright so far as the
positions they hold are concerned, but
what in the Sam Hill could they do
toward preventing an invasion with
the handful of men and war vessels
we now have?
