BUDGET FOR SCHOOLS Is IN
CREASED $1,000 OVER AMOUNT
FOR THIS YEAR.
SCHOOL FINANCES ARE
IN SPLENDID CONDITION
Net Cash Balance in Four Funds June
80 Was $16,2ss. os--school House
Fund Only One overdrawn-6oard
Asks s125,ooo For General Fund and
$1,000 For School House Fund.

Tax money amounting to S13S, 600
was asked for by the school board for
| the maintenance Of the schools in 1918
at the annual meeting of the board
held Monday evening. Secretary w. M.
| Clark was reappointed, as was also Miss
| Olive Zug, clerk to Superintendent
Palmer, and Michael Clark, truant Off
Ger.
The tax budget is an increase Of $3,-
| 900 over the amount asked for by the
| board last year. A change in the law,
which went into effect July l, merges
| the contingent and teachers funds UNI
| der the name of general fund. For this
| fund $125,O00 was asked. compared
\ with $4,000, the amount asked for
| last year. The same law merges the
| school house and bond funds into one
under the name of the school house
fund For this fund $4,000 was asked,
| the amount being the same as was
asked for last year.
Has Good Cash Balance.
The finances Of the school. district
are in the best condition they have
| probably ever been. OF the four funds,
| only one is overdrawn, the other three
all having cash balances. This net
| balance is s16,266.03. The school house
! fund was overdrawn June 80, $1,632.23.
| The cash balances in other funds were
as follows: Teachers, $15.946.S6; con-
| tingent, $1,274.40; bond, $699. The bond
| ed indebtedness Of the district is $l29,-
| 600, divided into $4,000 Of Az per
cent bonds and $4,000 of per cent
| bonds.
1t has been possible to have bal
ance in most of these funds by get
| ting enough tax money in recent years
| to equal the expenditures, which was
not the practice prior to a few years
ago. The result was that the funds
| were usually overdrawn at this time
| of year.
New Teachers Employed.
| The resignation of Miss Ethelyn
| Yount, who taught the fourth grade
Of the John Childs school, was &C
cepted by the board, and the contracts
Of three others were approved. Miss
Florence Kellogg, Of this city, has been
employed to teach domestic science.
She supplied for a short time for Miss
Skegg after the latter was married late
in the school year. Miss Caroline La
| Grange has been employed to teach
English and Latin to succeed Miss Bess
Fleming. Miss Carolyn Gallagher,
teacher Of history and civics, has re-
turned her contract signed.

We note, with interest, that the
statehouse officers in Atlanta have
formed an organization featured by
the fact that it is a "non-political
club"
We doubt not that association was
conceived out of politics, and may be
reared to lusty manhood without any
regard for politics, but if it lives and
dies without the virus of politics seep-
ing into its system it will be the first
organization of men, or women, that
has ever done So
Politics get into the church.
1t will enter a bank force.
1t will creep into a woman's club.
Politics will force an entrace into
any association, organization, club
auxiliary, institution, that was ever
established.
So it has been for all time, so il
will be for the future
Politics is-or are-inevitable. II
will even invade the home, until we
find father playing politics with the
son and mother politicing with the
daughter. Politics will play a part
ir every phase of life, and there is
even political aspects to the insect
and animal life, among the bees and
the ants, and in the barnyard. We
even believe that Satan, according to
John Milton, claimed that politics was
the reason he was voted out of a place
in heaven.
We shall watch that Atlanta mon
political Cuba club composed Of
elective officers, who are, therefore
Pill politicians-and We hope it will
break all records by being the first
of anything absolutely aloof from the
subtle touch of politics.

WHY NOT COLUMBUS.
Of { habit.

There will be a delegation Of Col
mbus business men here tomorrow
for the purpose of promoting = closer
acquaintance with the business men of
Anne. icus.
Their idea is, of course, to foster a
friendship which will lead to closer
FEEDING relations between Americas
.rnd Columbus.
Though closer to Americas tnan any
otfer city Columbus receives a sman
IroJol ton of the business which goes
out of town The majority Of Ameri-
e.. PEOPLE who buy away from home
g to Macon or Atlanta. Only a few
cheese Savannah. Not many spend
their money in Columbus Yet Column
bus is nearer, friendlier, and probably
as desirable place to trade.
Americas merchants are naturally
strong advocates of the buy-at-home
policy, but undoubtedly they will be
willing, if any money goes out-of-town
at all, for such patronage to go to Col
umbus. They feel that Columbus is a
neighbor, more So than is Macon.
However, the latter city has the ad-
vantage of better railroad schedules,
and really that is the only obstacle to
the development of better trading re-
lations between Americas and Column
bus. 1t is difficult to reach Columbus
by train. The schedules are not con-
venient, whereas one can go to Ma
con and return the same day.
The interest of the Columbus Rotary
Club in Americas is to be appreciated.
and it is sincerely to be hoped as we'll
that it will result in the encourage
ment of closer relations between the
two communities.

THE PROHIBITION STATUS.

The Georgia prohibition law will
survive, in spite of the very logical
ruling of Acknowledgement Walker,
which puts an end to the outrageous
and ridiculous methods of searching
in which the officers generally have
INDUCED.
The Georgia law on search and seiz-
ure is quite different from the law
of most states. AS the attorney gem
eral has held with undoubted correct
ness, the sanctity of the home, which
Ii11ludes privacy of person, is SUI
perior to the right of search, and in
order to conduct a legal search, the
officer must be equipped with war
rant giving him specific authority.
Heretofore, it has been customary
ito seize a mans grip and force him to
open it, stop automobilists on the pub
lie highway and submit them to a hui
initiating search, invade homes and
places of business, and generally
transgress personal rights All of this
was done without warrant and with
out semblance of law.
The Times-Recorder is, of course, as
ardently in favor of d rigid prohibition
law as any one, and we are satisfied
that Georgia has such a lava law
with teeth in it. It prohibits the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
beverages. 1t makes it a violation to
even have spoonful of liquor in ones
possession. And coupled with it is the
federal law which prohibits the cross
ing of the state line with intoxicants.
These two together should be sufficient
to make Georgia a real prohibition
state, if anything can.
Of course, there will be violations.
For the sake of sordid gain there are
men who will risk their liberty and
surreptitiously bring liquor into the
state. Others will make it themselves
for the purpose of illicit sale. AS long
as there is craving for alcohol in the
human system, that demand is going
to be satisfied, somehow or other.
But to all intents and purposes,
Georgia is dry, as dry as any state
u.der prohibition regulations will ever
be-though, as we freely admit, not
Wholly free from the faint Of strong
drink.
At any rate, the enforcement of the
law has now been reduced to a com,
mch sense basis, even if the attorney
generals ruling does give the violat-
1rs of the law little more license
-Gan they have formerly enjoyed.

SIMPLY A HABIT.

For one thing, the economics produc-
ed by the war will tend to reduce the
high cost of living by the simple ex-
pedient of reducing the amount of
eating.
/ We all eat too much, as well as too
often.
J Our civilization is accustomed to
three meals day, and the average
American tries to make them as big
as he can, eating as a rule as long as
there is anything before him
It was not so always. Old England
did not know what breakfast was, and
neither did the Romans or the Gre
clans. For the most part, they ate
when they were hungry and until their
inner man was satisfied
In the glorious days Of Athens the
people ate sparsely, especially the
Spartans. Bulbous-browed philosoph
ers, like Socrates and his clan, lunch
ed on cracker and an anchovy, salt
ed with logic and debate This was
an essential part of the glory that
was Greece; but in the grandeur that
was Rome gastronomic elegance was
the feature of the day. We read OF
Iucullus dining with Lucullus" and
aging four thousand dollars for his
dinner, which consisted chiefly of such
tid-bits as pheasants' tongues, nightin-
gale livers, and the roe of fish brought
from the Carpathian sea. Then there
was Apicius, the epicure, who commit
ted suicide, in the time of Trajan, be-
caqse he only had $450,O0O left in his
II1se and was afraid of starving to
death 1t is curious fact that the
decline of Rome is associated with it's
8ormandizing period
The disposition to ver-eat has de-
oped from the time when the Pill
grlms had that enormous Thanksgiving
feast and spread enough to feed the
whole Seven Tribes. Not only do we
lead our tables, but there are lunches
between times and snacks before go
ing to bed Besides, women will go to
9a.ties and cram their insides with in
d'sestibles, and then return home and
al again.
But the high cost of everything to
eat, and the lessons of economy which
the changed conditions are teaching,
will have the effect of materially re-
ducing the bill-of-fare in the homes of
itch and poor alike And when the
people have become addicted to eating
less, and find that they will he health
Ter freer from internal complaints.
and less susceptible to colds and hea l.
aches, as the result thereof, they will
he glad the war taught them lesson.
Eating, like drinking, is more or less
Of habit.
