Tribute to the Memory Of
II. Alexander Wellington


1t is with sadness we cronicle the
death of our brother and uncle, who
died July Is, 1919.
He was a valued member of the
Green Hill Sunday school and its
superintendent.
He was so closely identified with
every interest of the school that his
death caused a vacancy hard to NIL.
Words cannot tell of his worth, yet
we may emulate his devotion to his
church and home, his patience under
suffering and his continuous effort
for the comfort and happiness of
others, Therefore be it resolved:
First, That we acknowledge our
Creators right to call by name those
He desires for His own and in rever-
ence and humble submission we bow
to His divine will, knowing that at
the last great day when the trumpet
of the Lord shall sound, Christ shall
appear bringing with Him all the re-
deemed of the earth and we shall see
his gloriaed spirit.
Second, That our school has lost a
faithful and loving member whose
first thought was for Gods cause and
whose example of true devotion and
cheerful giving will stir our hearts
to holier living and more earnest eff
fort to do the will of our Father in
Heaven.
Third, That to the stricken widow
we tender our sincere sympathy
commencing her to the God he loved
Fourth, That copy of these reso
llutions be sent to Baltimore South
Fern Methodist, and published in
county paper.

The big bodybuilding scheme on
foot in Virginia is the absorbing one
of the hour State and county Of
fcials, taxpayers, newspapers-all
are showing marked interest in the
subject, and every section of the
State is alert, determined to see that.
when the melon is sliced the shares
shall be equal.
A plan of concerted action, origi
mating with the Augusta county
Board, is published elsewhere in to-
days issue of the Recorder, and
while Highland will approve the &C
ton and join in the cooperative jlan,
it is praise-worthy in her officials to
hear of plan to be present at the
opening of the legislature in August
to look after the county's interests
and urge her claims, something that
can better be done, perhaps, under
the community of interests plan in
augurated by Judge Holt and Mr..
TimbeElake.
Apropos of the question of road
building, prminent taxpayer and
citizen has suggested the propriety of
asking each candidate for Supervisor
to outline his policy, and let the peo-
pie know whether he is moss
back" or "progressive"-a man ca
pable and progressive enough to
represent his county in this age of
the worlds big business"
The suggestion is timely. Nam
mouth interests are at stake. Men
are sometimes unconsciously narrow
and selfish in their views, and in ad-
vocating corresponding policy fiat
ter themselves that they are taking
care of the county. Retrenchment
and economy constitute their sole
idea of public service, and they hig-
gle and hesitate over big expendi-
lures even where adequate returns
are in sight.
It is a known fact that here and
there is to be found man who out
and out disapprves cooperative
bodybuilding, arguing extraigance
and bad management. The street in
Monterey has been cited as case in
point. While this is admitted by the
town-people who bore the local bur-
den, there isn't a citizen who wants
his share of the big expense refund
ed and go back to the old rough
street and mud bitches, and they are
also confident that the experience
of such bad management and
excessive outlay will worth
all it cost, in that mis-
takes made and bad management
now recognized, can be avoided in
future similar. undertakings.
What do you think of the
." referred to? The county is vital
ly interested in the men who are to
be the >custodians of her interests
during the coming five years. From
many of the candidates no express
sion whatever has been heard. 1t
is hard to tell what colt will do I'M
til he is hitched up, but in this case
it is no bad plan to rattle the chains
of big business about him, put on
real progressive harness, and see
whether he SHES, kicks or balks.

No Limit to $40 Clubs, Now
Good for 100000 Extra Votes

The Times-Recorder's big subscrip-
tion drives start out this week with
many ladies actively contending for
the awards, aggfegating in values the
sum of $4,000, and the fact that every
one is given something, either prizes
or cash commissions, according to the
amount of votes secured, will cause
others to start this week. The spirit
of cooperation on the part of the pub
lie to assist in putting the circulation
of the HOME PAPER where it should
be is causing many of the ladies to Of
fer their active help to those actively
working for one of the prizes. This
excellent spirit WILL no doubt, go far
toward making it possible for the man
agement of The Times Recorder to
produce one of the best publications in
Southwest Georgia.
O. advantage to those taking part in
the campaign during this and next
week is the offer whereby 100000 ex-
ira votes will be issued on a club of
$40 in paid subscriptions, besides the
regular vote that is issued at the time
the subscription is paid and for the
amount paid. A three-months sub
scription to the daily, $1.75, secures
5000 regular votes and applies on the
club. Six months, 1925, gets $4,000
regular votes and goes on the club.
One year, $500, secures 10000 votes
and builds up the club faster than the
other methods, The weekly, $3.50 per
year, gets 5000 votes and also applies
on the $40 club. When enough SUBJ
scriptions have been turned in to
amount to the $40 the extra votes of
100000 is issued. NO LIMIT IS
PLACED TO THE NUMBER OF
CLUBS ANY ONE CONTESTANT MAY
SECURES.
The extra vote offered on clubs and
the regular vote is higher this week
than they will ever be again during
the entire campaign and those who
take advantage of the opportunity of
getting the big vote will have a much
better chance to secure the big prizes.
Get busy this week and get friends to
pay their subscriptions-eith to the
collectors at the Office, or to yourself,
