NO TRAINS TO SPARE.

Americas can ill-afford to spare any
train service which now operates in
and out of this city.
Unless it can be positively demon
strated beyond peradventure of doubt,
that the Seaboard is maintaining a
distinct losing proposition, it should
not be permitted to take off four local
trains, as it proposes to do.
The Chamber of Commerce has cor
rectly gone on record as opposing any
change in the present service of sched-
ules, until one of its committees can
accurately ascertain the real facts in
the matter and the actual sentiment of
the people and the merchants whom
the trains most Immediately serve.
Probably the Seaboard is not doing
so in this instance, but it is fact,
nevertheless, that other systems are
taking advantage of the times to re-
duce their operating budget, at the ex
pense of the people. They are holler-
ing Wolff" when there is not even
prairie dog in sight.
Unless it can be indisputably proven
that the local trains are unnecessary
and are burden, the Seaboard should
be required to continue its present
service.

A FAR-FETCHED PICTURE.

The Atlanta Constitution prints a
cartoon showing the Kaiser sick-a-bed
with the death-like figure of Defeat
stalking into the room and staring him
il the face.
This idea would be very important
and inspiring, if it were only true
But if the Kaiser, as a symbol for
Germany and its allies, is i'll, the fact
has been cleverly concealed. In fact,
for a PROSTATE person, the Kaiser is
raising a great deal of row, to our
way of thinking.
Germany could invade Russia hun
dreds of miles, with more or less i'm
munity, at any time it chose, but
does not for very excellent political
reasons. Germany calculates that Rus
STA is a political rather than mill
tary problem, which is most likely true,
ir the light of present conditions, with
the Russian army disorganized and no
longer a menace.
On the front in France and Belgium,
Germany has lost little of the land it
acquired in the rush of the first invas-
ion. Not even the expenditure of bill
lions of dollars in munitions and the
sacrifice of many thousands of men by
the Allies have made a perceptible dent
in the German strongholds.
Serbia and Rumania are positively
PROSTATE beneath the iron heel of the
man who is trying ito put a girdle
round about the world" If the Kaiser
was so sick it was time he was think
ing about the doctor, the lawyer, and
tie undertaken, the United States
would not be appropriating twenty-one
/ billions of dollars and raising an army
Of several million men for its first
iyear in the Great War. Germany may
! be battered and bruised, but it is still
in the ring. There are not even any
indications of internal disorders, suffi.
cient to require an operation or to ex-
cite our hopes.
The CONSTITUTIONS cartoonist has
permitted his most sanguine hopes tC
ioverwhelm his reason.

CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

The Macon Telegraph pertinently
discusses the delay in road improve
ment which the state highway commits
sion was supposed to have inaugurated
many months ago.
The truth is, the state highway COM
mission is a futile force that will never
amount to anything as long as it is
maintained in its present manner
There should be highway commits
sion, if one at all, entirely separate
and distinct from every other board.
The present commission consists of
the members of the prison commission
and several college professors. The
prison commissioners know no more
than the average man abut road-build,
ing The college professors are ire
mendously technical 1t is impossible,
therefore, for there ever to be unan-
unity of opinion.
In creating the highway commission,
the legislature, as an act of expediency,
in an effort to comply with the fed
eral requirements so as to share in
the distribution of funds for road i'm
rroyement tackled the body onto the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-09-03
prison commission.

The prison commission already had
enough work to do-more duties, in
deed than really ought to be saddled
en- it. Its responsibilities are more
numerous, more exacting, if properly
performed, than those of any other
similar body in the United States.
Moreover, the prison commissioners
were unfamiliar with the technic of
road work. They were not supposed to
know anything about it, and they have
not since qualified as experts. Besides,
by giving them the powers and privil
eyes of highway commissioners, they
were enabled to build up, if they so
elected, a powerful machine-not a
woodworking machine, but a political
engine. Whether they, or any of them,
have done that is not for us to say.
Certain it is that they have not done
any work on the roads, anywhere.
Furthermore, after nearly two years
effort, they have not even procured the
money with which to finance even one
rod of road improvement.
They should either do something def
mite or announce their inability and
quit.

The Modern Speed Devil.

These speed devils who roar along
the country roads in high-powered cars
are the same folks who several years
ago took their Girls out buggy-riding
Sunday afternoon in livery stable rigs
and were perfectly content with six
miles an hour. Most of the time the
reins lay over the dashboard. This
new speed mania not only endangers
life, but it does away with former
favorite method of courting.-Quitman

"BR'ER FOX, HE LAY Low"

Have you ever read the Uncle Re-
mus story about Br'er Fox and Br'er
Rabbit and how the latter got in his
celebrated dispute with the TarBaby ?
And have you ever thought how anal
gous it is, in some respects, to the
case of Senator Hardwick and Senator
Smith?
The story goes that when Br'er Rab-
bit smashed the Tar-Baby in the face,
and his forepaw stuck, Br'er Fox dis
creetly hid in the bushes and chuckled
to himself AS Uncle Remus says,
"Brer Fox. he lay low"
Then Br'er Rabbit used his other
fore-paw and it stuck; and, finally, he
butted with his head, and it stuck.
And Brer Fox, he lay low"
When Senator Hardwick first began
his campaign of persistent and incon-
sistent opposition to every presidential
or administration program, Senator
Hoke Smith was out in the open, look
ing on, if not actually giving words of
encouragement. But soon he sensed
the sentiment of the people, and, in
the manner of Br'er Fox, he took to
the tall grass.
Senator Hardwick fought the ship
ping bill.
He opposed CONSUMPTION.
He opposes sending troops to France.
Like Br'er Rabbit, the madden he
gets, the more he entangles himself
Iii trying to obstruct the plans for car
;rying on the war, he has done the Rab-
bits final feat of sticking his head
POLITICALLY, into trouble, that will hold
him hard and fast.
And while all this is in progress
where, oh where, is Senator Smith?

From the Savannah Press: The cat
alogue houses are flooding the South

cotton picking money. Let's keep it at

Local merchants can stop this out
flow of money needed at home by an ag-
gressive campaign. Many local news
papers, the Gazette among the mum,
Der, will not accept advertising from

local merchants a great advantage in
