The Crisis Next Week

Winston Churchill's immortal classic
of the American Civil War, THE Cri-
: sis, !" has been transformed into big
picture and will be presented two after
Moons and evenings of next week at
Ehe Grand Theatre.
Most Of the scenes in THE Crisis"
were filmed in old portions of st.
Eeuis described so faithfully by Wins
ton Churchill in his book. The battle
Of Vicksburg, in which the most spec
tacular views of the production are
shown, was staged on the historic
ground where the brave men in blue
md gray fought and died half CEN
fury ago. Thousands of men In the
Mississippi National Guard particl'
pated In this mimic battle. Admiral
Porters fleet is also represented in a
rain Of shells that illuminate the be-
leaguered city by night as they ex-
plode. Added to all this are scenes
Sin LinColn's earlier life before he was
Nominated for President by the Re-
s publican convention in Chicago in
1860.

Tons of Publicity Trash.

If The Progress published one-tenth
Of the stuff mailed to it every week by
heads of the different government de-
partments with request that it be
published, there would be nothing else
in the paper. During the last month
we have turned over to the trash wa
gen a ton of more of this literature
asking for free publicity by men who
draw fat salaries to write it. We are
too busy making living to read any
of this literature, much less wearing
out our material with printing it
free" for this great government of
ours, which has billions to pay for bull
let's, but nothing for publicity on
" commodity a newspaper has for

The Neill Primary Law.

The Americas Times Recorder, in
giving list of the daily newspapers
.of Georgia which opposed the enact
ment of the Neill primary law, also
failed to include the News and Sun
as well as the Albany Herald, both of
whose editors were bitterly opposed
to this iniquitous law and attacked it
with vigor and earnestness previous
to its passage by the general assemb-
ly at the last session of the legislature.
The News and Sun therefore joins
heartily in the movement started for
the repeal of the law and will do it's
bit along this line. The Neill pri-
mary law is not democratic meas
ure, but is a direct slab at the prin-
ciples which we all profess to love,
and we trust that enough pressure
may be brought to bear against it to
cause the legislators to wipe the
diabolical law off the statute books
at the next session of the legislature.
Keep up the fight, boys-we are with
you.-Grifin News and Sun.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-09-30
WE DON'T BELIEVE 1T.

The intimation has come from At
lanta that Governor Dorsey is contem-
plating a candidacy for the United
States Senate, as one of the opponents
'of Senator Hardwick.
We do not believe it!
Too many other governors have used
the Office as a vaulting pole-or tried
10 and the people are sick of it. There
used to be time, anyway, when Geor-
gians resigned from the United States
Senate to return home and run for
gcyernor-then the governorship was
considered the greater honor. But now
tie politicians figure that the place of
governor is rerely fiag-station, sim
Iply stop on the way to Washington;
and the fashion has been to make it as
brief a stop as possible.
Now comes the Wrightsville Head
light, whose editor was recently given
an appointment by Governor Dorsey
proposing the latter for the senator
SLIP. Says the Headlight:
When this race warns up, in our
opinion you are going to see some
of the hottest politics in Georgia
you have seen in many years.
It is a mighty good time to leave
Harris in Washington, Hardwick at
home, Upshaw in the pulpit, Ed
ers practicing law in Tattnall, and.
Gambler following the game in At
