The assertion that the college girl of

other purposes; that she thinks Drink
water is an alias for the president of the
Anti-Saloon League; that she would
rather turn the crank of flivver than

reader of literature she is enthusiast

acterized yesterday. by those who know,
as being nothing but bunk, and an in
ferior grade of bunk at that. The
assertion floated out of Chicago in the
first place where the American Library
Association is holding a convention.
But the Librarians at the New York
Public Library have come gallantly to
the defence, and for good measure have
also championed the literary tastes of
the general public in New York, which,
it was darSly limited in Chicago. were
nothing to brag about. People here are
not only reading more than they did
last year, it was asserted, but they are
reading more books of serious nature
and even in their choice of fiction they
are showing a growing preference for
novels that are not trashy"

MEET SATURDAY
Convention To Name 4
Delegates To Cordele
Gathering

Something believed to be new in
politics in Sumter county is the call
which has been issued for a Repub-
hcan-Progressive convention at the
court house in Americas Saturday
afternoon of this week at 2:3O
O'Clock for the purpose of choosing
four delegates to attend a district
convention at Cordele on Monday.
c. A. Ames, promoter of the
convention, today discussed the aims
and purposes of the movement with
a reporter
Il have called the meeting for the
purpose mentioned, giving legal no
tlce of same," said Mr.. Ames. "Dur-
ing my residence of fourteen years
IN Amerlcus | have considered the
matter from every angle and have
found no good reason to change my
political preference. | have never
sought to push Republicanism here,
there never being until this year any
reason to do so, and l have every re-
spect for the political faith of every
other man. However, during the past
year large number of citizens have
expressed the wish that they might
feel free to vote their conviction
without risk of ridicule from neigh
bors and friends, and if they really
feel that way about it, here's their
opportunity. That's about all there
is to it at this time
Mr.. Ames said that he desired no
notoriety, but pointed out that sin
gle track politics, like single track
minds, are likely to be narrow guage,
and declared that two responsible
white parties are what Georgia needs
more than anything else, politically.
Every man." said he, "should be
an American before he is party
man of any persuasion. Every young
man should study American history
it is the story of the greatest peo-
pie and the best government in all
the world. From study and observa-
ton it has always appeared to me
that the country as a whole got along
better under the auspices of Repub-
Americus times-recorder., 1920-03-18

lican policies, and that's the reason
for my faith.
Asked as to the status of the col
Ored voter, Mr.. Ames declared that
the Progressives are not antagonis-
tic to the colored voters in any way,
but positively declined to take or
ders from any so-called colored
chairmen, secretaries, etc. "Take
our community" said Mr.. Ames, ''the
best class of colored men care moth
ing for politics; neither does the
rank and file. 1t is only a few who
seek to make a living that way who
care to mix in the affairs of any
party"
The meeting Saturday is open to
all white citizens who want to at
tend.
