We noticed in the papers Tuesday
morning there was revolution in
Haiti. For some time We had been
looking for an opportunity to prove
our prowess and patriotism without
taking chance with the German
submarines and We thought now was
our opportunity. So We proceeded
at once TO organize a company OF
Home Guards and march 10 Haiti.
Anxious TO protect our editorial per-
son, not on our own account but that
Tinsley might have another chance
TO fool his wife with fishing trip,
We sent Lieutenant Bill Midkiff and
Corporal Dan King on 10 reconnoit-
er. In a short time these scouts came
back and reported Haiti as quiet as

MOVIE CONTEST FOR
THE BIC LAND SHOW

The Southeastern Land show has an
nounced as one of its drawing cards, {
motion picture contest, through which
! contest it will endeavor to discover
what young woman in tie Southeast will
make the most artistic and attractive
appearance on motion picture screen
l.. G. Council and Crawford Wheatley
o: Americas, are officials in the land
show.
The management of the Southeast.
ern Land Show said Edward Young
Clarke, the general manager of the
show, believes that somewhere in tire
Southeast there is another Mary Pick
ford, or more wonderful movie star
than Hazel Dawn. With this belief
firmly fixed in our minds, we have de-
termined to make a diligent search
through series of contests culminat-
ing in one grand contest in Atlanta,
to find this winsome and attractive
young woman"
The final contest in Atlanta during
the Land show Will be from amongst
candidates who have been selected
through popularity contests at various
theatres in the Southeast. Only one
theatre in a town will be allowed to
conduct the contest to select the can
didates in the grand contest in Allan
a from their town. One candidate for
each 10000 Of population will be al
lowed to enter the grand contest from
each town, and one for each additional
10000 population or fractional part.
Indications now point to the fact that
fully 100000 people will pass through
the doors of the4Land show during it's
operation from February LIST to 18TH
The railroads have granted exceeding
ly low rates from all parts of the ma
ton, and especially low rates from
every city in the states of Georgia,
FLORIDA, Alabama and South Carolina
This is the first Land show ever held
in the South, and is the beginning OF
a series of Land shows to be held an
nually, and which it is believed will at
tract more attention from investors
and settlers to the Southeast than any
movement ever undertaken in hits
section.

The Public
Safety Value

ELLAVILLE, Ga, san. LIST, 1917.
Editor Times Recorder:
Several have asked me to write
about the effect of the 'Yeomans bill as
to High school books. / beg space to
comply,
In the first place the main object of
the bill was to separate the teacher
and superintendents from any pecun.
airy interest in the sale Of school
books. Up to Jan. LIST, 1917, any teach
CIR or superintendent that would order
books would receive at least ten per
be delivered free. There vas no ex-
ception to this rule. The bill think
will effectually prevent this.
Again the books were changed to
suit the caprice of the superintendent
or teacher. The books adopted will
have to be used for five years under
this bill.
Let me illustrate. Take West Mod
ern World, in use in every high schoi
most. The price was $1.50, now 1t has
been cut by this bill to $1.18, If the
board of education will handle the
books. Prior to this the teacher or
superintendent that ordered this book
received from the publisher Is cents on
each copy sold. If the teacher or
SUPERINTENDENT gave the child the
benefit of this rake off the cost would
be $1.35. If your board of education
does not wish to handle the sales, then
tie maximum charge to the child is 10
per cent. which added to $1.18, makes
the cost of this book to the child $l.S0.
So you see that instead of the teacher
that buys the book receiving the IL
per cent rake off the child will purch-
ase irrespective of all conditions at
81 35.
The prime object of the bill was to
help the child. The bill may be defec-
tive, perhaps it is, everything human
is. but one great object has been &C
complished l think in the passage OF
the bill, and that is the entire separa-
ton of any profit direct or indirect OF
the teachers of Georgia in the sale OF
school books. This is only the break
ing of one of the many chains of the
school book trust in Georgia. We hope
to break all of them, but they fight to
the finish. All high school books are
cut like the book named.
Very truly yours,
C. R. McCRORY.

THE MAKING OF JUDGES.

From every indication the appoint
ment of a federal Judge for the South
ern District of Georgia will be polit-
ical. although it may be lawyer well
fitted for the position. If the appoint
ment is not political. it will be so for
political reasons.
II would be expected that the De-
partment of Justice, superintended by
the Attorney-General, would make the
recommendations for the judges, rather
tnan senators or congressman. OF
course, Their choices might agree.
If our information is correct. and

The federal judgeship of the south
ern district of Georgia has already
been lost to Savannah according to al
interview carried in Mondays Savan-
nah News. Robert ]. Travis, of that
city, says that he is not an applicant
and because the Savannah bar has de-
clined to unanimously endorse an at
torney the old story is repeated of Sa-
vannah not getting anything. 1t was
tie general impression that Mr.. Travis
and w. w. Osborne, of Savannah, were
strong factors in the consideration.
