FINE SHOWING OF BANKS.

The quarterly reports just publish
ed by the three banks of Americas,
and also by the banks at Plains and
Leslie, demonstrate to the world the
amazing prosperity of this county
Not only that but the reports show
now solidly established and how well
conducted are all of the present bands
Of Americas and Sumter county In
proportion to their capitalization and
years in business, it is doubtful If any
banks in Georgia can make a more
splendid showing.
One of the first means of ascertain
iEg community's state of financial
health is to feel its pulse by examin-
ing the banks. If this diagnosis were
made for Americas and Sumter coun-
ty, the result would be a showing
sufficiently strong to convince anyone
that here, indeed, is the very section
where good business and plenty of
prosperity most abound.

San ARMY OVERNIGHT"

About two years ago, just after he
resigned from the cabinet because he
could not agree with the president
underwriting sentiments, Mr.. Bryan
stormed the chautauqua circuit and vo-
ciferated nightly, at so much a
word
Among other fatuous and futile
things, he solemnly declared that this
country need never entertain a fear
of invasion-thag if necessary, an
army of a million men would spring
lup overnight and defend the shores of
our beloved country from the enemy
He dwelt fondly on the patriotic ardor
of the American eitizenry, and stated,
mistakenly, that the volunteer army had
always saved the country in its hour
of peril. But he was insistent that,
just let the blast of the bugle sound
upon the midnight air, and before
breakfast, that army of million men
would be modified to repel any as
saults.
The events of the last few months
have demonstrated how hopelessly i'm
possible of achievement is Mr.. Bryan 5
idea.
When it was realized that war with
Germany was inevitable, the volunteer
lists were opened, and definite and
systematic campaign of advertising for
recruits for the army and navy was
undertaken The result was so pail
pably failure, with less than thirty
lousand men responding in three
months time, that the enactment of a
SSl6CIlF6 uTbII law D6CdlIle Imperative.
And even under its operations, it has
developed that it takes at least year
to organize an army of less than a
million. To send these men to war
unframed would be to send them to
the slaughter-pen, and so the great
camps and training schools have been
established.
America is enterprising, patriotic to
the core beyond doubt, and as well
prepared to raise an army as any ma
tion, but it is simply one of the i'm
possible things to assemble fighting
force and equip it overnight, or even
lin six months. We wonder how Mr..
Bryan feels when he gets out his old
manuscripts at night and reads over
some of the foolish things he has
said

SENATOR SMITHS SPEECHES.

Some of the most patriotic speeches
made on the floor of the senate recent
ly were delivered by Senator Hoke
Smith-and as all Georgians know,
when he is stirred, and really tries to
make speech, he is powerfully sin
hre, impressive, and forceful.
The Times Recorder has received
copies of speeches made by Senator
Smith on April II, July Z, July 10 and
August 7. declaring his whole-hearted
approval Of the nations war policy
and announcing his stand that the war
should be prosecuted until Germany is
indisputably defeated.
Moreover, in the recent discussion
over war taxes on incomes, it was
Senator Smith who volunteered his
personal willingness to give half or
more than half of his annual income,
from whatever source received, and
who insisted that the men of larger
means should bear the brunt Of fnanc-
the war
There was considerable criticism Of
Senator Smith at the beginning Of the
war period because he did not i'm
mediately jump on the bandwagon,
wave a bloody musket and holler ITO
HI With the Kaiser!" But he was
proceeding deliberately, bringing his
best judgment into play and subduing
his passion of prejudice to more sober
thought. There should be no possible
chance of criticism now for the fer
vent, patriotic course Senator Smith
lis pursuing in his representation of
Georgia in the United States Senate.

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
Using the Newspapers.

Newspapers are so much publicity
property that the public have learned
TO look upon them as their papers.
leaving very little in the publication
that the editor can call his own.
The universal opinion that news
papers belong to the public doe, not
conine itself to the public alone, but
extends also to state and national Of
ficials.
The Moultrie Observer calls attn
ton to the fact that Secretary Nc.
adoo is displaying no small amount
Of nerve when he takes it for granted
that the newspapers will give unlim-
tied space to a second Liberty Bond
issue. Mr. McAdoo has said that 1t is
out of the question for the govern
ment to think about paying for space
ir advertising the Liberty Bonds, be-
cause if any advertising should be
placed for pay that it would have to
be given to every publication in the
country.-Grifin News and Sun.

The evolution of a social page news
item may be described as follows:
Monday Miss Susie Smith will go
to Leslie day after tomorrow to visit
friends.
Tuesday Miss Susie Smith will
leave for Leslie tomorrow.
Wednesday, Susie Smith s
many friends will be interested to
know that she left for Leslie this
morning on an extended visit.
Thursday-Miss Susie Smith is be-
ing delightfully."- entertained by friends
at Leslie.
Friday-Miss Susie Smith, who has
been visiting friends at Leslie, is ex-
pected home tomorrow.
Saturday-Miss Susie Smith return
ed home today from Leslie, after
spending some time with friends at
that place.

A WORTHY CHARITY.

The response to the appeal of The
Times-Recorder for funds for the re-
lief of two destitute Confederate veter-
ans is gratifying, and shows that the
warm heart of the people of Americas
is always genuinely touched by any
meritorious cases of charity.
To take care of these two old veter-
ans for year, the sum of $3.50, which
will be given to them in regular
monthly installments, is needed. Not
all of it has as yet been subscribed.
Undoubtedly, however, Americas will
raise this money, ard probably more
Certain it is that no more worthy in
stances Of deserving charity have been
reported in this county in a long
time.
