Read from some humble poet
Whose songs gush from the heart,
AS showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears, from the eyelids start
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away

CONGRATULATIONS" PLANS Ans

The good people of Plains are to be congrat-
ulated upon the announcement that, after ALL the
Drs. Wise are not to leave their home town for
fields, but great new hospital is to be erected
in Plains and that the institution of which so much
is expected will be made factor in the future de-
velopment and growth of that thriving and pro-
gressive city of Sumter county.
1t with the greatest reluctance that lead
ing citizens of Amercus sought to bring the Wise
institution here for they realized that in doing so
they would be taking something of value away
from their neighbor. But they became interested
IN the matter only after they had been assured that
the Wses had fully determined to leave Plains be-
cause of having outgrown municipal facilities, and
that not to bring them to Americus would be to
lose this institution to Sumter county But now
everything has come out as it should have come
out; these men have decided to stay where thew
are to the great pleasure of their townsmen; their
institution which will be made into great one
Will remain in Sumter county and at the doorstep
OF Americus and the Amercus City Hospital may
continue its mission of mercy undisturbed, as it
would not have been able to do had another COM
peting institution come here
Plains is reapng the fruits of her progressive
STEP taken few months ago. in voting bonds for
the installation of city water and electric light
system This single achievement has been worth
more than the full value of the bonds and Plains
will be cashing in on the investment from now

NOT FORGETTING THE LEAGUE.

A news dispatch from San Francisco, publish
ed in a newspaper opposed to the League of Ma
tons, says that forty prominent republicans of Cali
Fornia have telegraphed an appeal to William H.
Hays, chairman of the republican party, to urge
party senators to ratify the peace treaty.
The telegram says, in part:
Defeat of the treaty and separate peace
with Germany will be betrayal of our allies and
victory for Germany. 1t will mean continuance
of the present chaotic conditions in Europe, with
indescribable suffering there and certain reaction
here.
The responsibility for this, if the treaty fails
can not be shifted or concealed 1t viii rest upon
the majority of republican senators, and through
them the party and the issue which should not
be party one, will be made So
In connection with this we might quote a
headline from another newspaper Of this section
which has been opposing the League of Nations:
Smith to spend recess speaking-G eorgia
senator will explain the League of Nations to peo-
pie. at home.
1t occurs to us that, while the people of Geor-
ga may not fully understand the League of Ma
tions and desire to learn all that is possible for
them to know about it, they have confidence in the
League because of its ideals and those great men of
this nation who stand behind it, and suspicious
OF those who join with Lodge and Johnson and
Reed and Borah to fight it. 1t would seem nearer
the needs of the occasion for Senator Smith to ex-
plain his record in the treaty fight the people OF
Georgia rather than to explain the League.
The Times-Recorder has no quarrel with Sen
ator Smith; it knows his great ability But it has
been sorey disappointed in the senator's stand in
this great undertaking of humanity for humanity.
And it believes he viii have difficulty in making
the thinking people of Georgia believe that his
proposed amendment to Article Ten of the coven-
ant would have any other effect than killing the
League and treaty, as President Wilson said. des-
pite his assertions that he is for ratification.

roaring, days and nights, for lot of boons

trains have jumped the track. All the strug-
Cling fighting forces seem to glory in the wreck,
while the Ultimate Consumer gets the cleaver in
the neck. Oh, the Ultimate Consumer in the
scrap has little part; hex be happy just to labor
in the Office or the mart and to feed his wife and
kiddies, and to buy the rags they need and pro-
vide against the future when he old and gone
to seed; but alas, the bricks ar flying and the
scrappers are on deck, and the Ultimate Con-
sumner gets the dornicks in the neck And the
Ultimate Consumer has sad and weary lot for
he's always bound to suffer, whether others do
not; others do the frantic talking of their
grievances and ills, while the Ultimate Consumer
goes ahead and pays the bills; it's time of
sound and fury and the madness knows no
check and the Ultimate Consumer gets the
hatchet in the neck.
