few COLLECTORS
ARE ON STREETS

Heretofore very common sight in
Americus for several days after the
first of each month has been large
numbers Of business men or their en-
ployees going from house to house
with patches of bills for collection;
however, as in the twinkling of an
eye this has all changed and since
the grst of the present month collec-
tors in Americus have been about as
scarce as the prOverbial hens teeth.
A few ventured out during the past
few days but they seemed to feel
about like the man who appears on
the streets in January dressed in a
palm beach suit and straw hat. The
fact of the business is the people here
are so solidly behind every conserya-
tiOn movement of the Government
that collectors in Americus are going
to be just as unpopular as Germans
are in Paris
No movement ever inaugurated here
has been more favorably received than
that of abolishing the custom of send
ing out collectors on or about the
first of each ninth and the people of
Americus are proving beyond reas-
nable doubt that their standards o.
honor and business integrity are so
high that they will pay their bills
promptly without the necessity of
having to be called on in person.
In scores of cities throughout the
country the credit system is being
abolished entirely in order to save
the tremendous expense and man
| power necessary when merchants
have to employ men to spend a con-
siderable portion of their time in
calling on people who are too indif-
! ferent or careless to take care Of
their obligations promptly.
It is not believed that this will be
necessary in Americus, and it certain
ly will not be if the past few days
are any indication of the future. As
A matter of fact it is confidently eX-
peoted that practically every person
here will have settled their accounts
before the tnth of the month or made
satisfactory arrangements otherwise
with their merchant and that but few
people will have to be called upon tc
pay cash for their purchases in order
that the merchants may comply witt
their pledge to the Government.

as thew lad a right to do, but when
the twelve members of Congress from
Georgia and our two Senators and
rearly all our Representative in both
Houses of Congress voted to place our
country at war, the people of Georgia

that we must stand by our flag

the men in Congress who had stood
by them.

by them long ago at not more than
twelve or fifteen cents per pound. The

men have for months been demanding
that q price be fixed on cotton-not
one of them has placed it beyond fif-
teen cents per pound.
Il have opposed vigorously and still

At the state democratic convention
held today in Macon William J. Har-
ris, declared nominee of the party for
senator, was one of the principal
speakers. In his address he thanked
the people of Georgia for their splen-
did faith in him and reviewed the po-
liticaI situation briefly. In part, he
said:
''Mr Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention:
six years ago the Democratic
State Convention in session in this
hall named me Chairman of the DEM
acratic State. Committee which con-
Quoted the campaign nj Georgia for
our Presidential nominee. I believed
then what a great many of you be-
Seved, and what the whole world
now knows to be true, that Woodrow
Wilson is the greatest man in the
world. l believe that God raised, ed
ucated and trained him to manage the
present crisis for our people and the
world Georgia gave Wood
row Wilson the largest majority ever
gwen any candidate for the Presi-
dency in this state.

men, farmers, laborers and all classes
oG people taken so much interest in
campaign which makes the honor all
the greater My Overwhelming vic
torv is naturally the source of deep
qualification to me but I realize that
it was not a personal tribute to me
It was the expression of patriotism
and a principle on the part of our
people because of the tremendous is
sues involved
Those of us living in our State. and
others who are familiar with cOndi-
tions here know that there are no
more loyal people on earth than the
people of Georgia They have shown
their patriotism and their courage in
all the battles of all the wars from
the Revolution down to the present,

ures recommended by our Command
er-in-Chief for winning the war, Geor-
gia had been advertised to the world
IS Stacker State. and a greater in
Justice was never done any people.
Tut on September 11th Georgia sent
4 message to all the world, especially
to our soldier boys and the Kaiser,
that Georgia was 100 per cen loyal.
Before war was declared, the peo-
PIE of Georgia dtffered about matters,
