Miss Mamie Bragg was his accompa-

The program last evening was so
delightful from every standpoint that
the committee has been requested to
repeat it at an early date in order
that those who were not fortunate
enough to be present last night may

nitely the popularity of these week

A pretty affair of Friday after
noon was that given by Miss Callie
Slappey at her home on Taylor street.

CHARMING PROGRAM LAST
NIGHT AT COMMUNITY HOUSE

4 most delightful program was CIV
en- at the Community club house last
evening when an all-star entertain

the direction of Mrs. j. NJ. Bryan,
chairman of the program committee,
the program last night was unusual
ly charming. Great strides have
been made in this work since being
undertaken by Mrs. Bryan. She
plays the accompaniment for the
community singing, and it is the
tenderness of her touch, and the
sympathetic expression of her in
dividuality through her music that
makes the community singing the
most popular feature of the programs.

SOCIAL MEETING
WITH MRS. FEAGIN

The members of the Order of Eas-
tern Star met with Mrs. w. H. Feagin
last night at her home on Prince
street. Because of the sudden change
in temperature, there were not many
present. The work was gone over
however, and those who came were
benefited by the instructions. 1t is
the purpose of the weekly gatherings
to instruct the ten or fifteen recently
acquired members in the secret work
of the order, and it is very necessary
that they be present each week in or
der to receive the instruction from
members of long standing. 1t was de-
cided at a recent gathering to have
these sessions at the home of some
member in order to give an informal
social feature and the new members
should appreciate this fact by attend
ing promptly and regularly.

THE TEA ROOM A
BUSY PLACE NOW.

One of the pleasantest places to
visit at this season of the year is the
Tea Room. Fall flowers in abund-
ance are used on the table, and about
the long and airy room used as the
dining room, are growing ferns IN
pots and baskets which lend an add
ed attraction to the already pretty
and hospitable place. Numerous ia
bles, large and small, are placed at
conf ortable angles along the smooth
floor, and inviting chairs are ready
and waiting for its patrons. The
window draperies are white and cool
and inviting, and the appointments
of the entire room are rest11l.
The able corps of assistants in
charge of the culinary department
are on duty long before the hungry
public begins to realize it's appetite.
The Sandwich Lady is at her post
bright and early in the morning,
getting ready the ice cold ingred-
tents which go to make up the dainty
sandwiches which are served all
through the day. And the prepare
tons for a well-cooked, well-season-
ed and daintily served midday din
ner are going on apace all during the
morning hours. At the right hour
crowds gather in the dining room.
Soups, meats, fish, vegetables, breads,
salads, creams, cakes and other good
things are revealed upon the menu
card And always there is willing,
cheerful, smiling-that's it, smiling
girl, in dainty frock and white
apron, who speeds into the kitchen
to secure the order. Or, perhaps. it
is some older girl" who has come to
help and be with the happy throng.
Then other happy crowds CONS.
Sometimes it is a bright party of
girls down town shopping who drop
in for sandwich and a glass Of
tinkling tea. Sometimes it is a
group of shoppers from the nearby
towns who are within the gates of the
city to procure necessary articles of
feminine toilet which cannot be had
in smaller towns, or in the country.
These come to the Tea Room for
those good things which are ordinari-
ly to be had only at home.
Again it is a Youthful couple who
are too much in love to have an APP
petite in public. How many sweet
nothings have been uttered over a
salad and cup of steaming coffee, on
ly the basket of flowers in the center
of the table can tell-and it doesn't.
The men come there, because they
can get things ''like mother makes F."
And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-10-01

Everybody praises the Tea Room be-
cause of many things-praise it
most, perhaps, because of the happy
influences which always surround the
tables and the dining room and the
kitchen, for when has one ever gone
in there and met aught by smlhu
faces as greeting? And the Tea
Room is a benefcience in Americas,
shedding over a greater number of
corners and goers the brightness of
its being than any other institution
in the city. And we all love the Tea
Room for what it is, for what it has
been. and for what it will be in the
future.

other wares, along with chicken
prepared camp-fire-like over the en-
circling fires around while guards

MINERS AGREE. TO ACCEPT
Award of Coal Commission
But Owners Would Limit.

Washington. - Coal owners have
agreed to accept the award of the
presidents coal commission, with one
exception-they will insist on setting
coal prices when the wartime Lever
law expires. They claim that any
other policy would be illegal.
The miners have agreed 10 accept
the award. They have informed the
commission that they do not want
merely an increase of wages to meet
wartime living costs, but enough to
permanently raise their living stan
dards. They declare that these stan
dards, their social position and their
environment in which they are forced
to rear their children have always been
too low.
In support of this position they have
presented to the commission their or
iginal demands to the coal owners
a 60 per cent wage increase, a six
hour work day, and improved work
ing conditions.
In explaining the miners demand
for a 30-hour week, Acting President
Lewis showed that this means guar
antee Of 80 hours work during a week
"The fact is" said the union official
"the coal miner can not earn living
for the whole year by working only
a part of the time, no matter how
many hours a day he may work

BOURBONISM A MENACE.
Same Disease as B0lshevism
Both Practice Tyranny
of Majority.

Washington -Bourbonism in pub
lie office is as great a menace to the
liberties of the people as is bolshe-
vism, declared United States Senator
France in statement on present-day
tendencies.
Il have come to the conclusion :
said the Maryland law maker "that
bourbonism and what we generally
understand as bolshevism are but diff
ferent manifestations of the same dis
ease, the principal symptoms of which
are stupidity and intolerance. Bolshe-
vism 2nd bourbonism both practice
tyranny of the majority over the min
ority, which respects no law and dis
regards personal rights. Both believe
in the rule of force rather than in the
rule q! reason. Both dote upon re-
action and revel in repression.
Edmund Burke said; 1T is right
that there should be a clamor wher-
ever there is an abuse The fire bell
at midnight disturbs your sleep, but
it keeps you from being burned IN
your bed. The hue and cry alarms the
country but it preserves all the prop
erty Of the province
with this your bourbon disagrees,
because he thrives on abuses. He hates
free, fearless and vigorous speech. He
resists all changes, defends existing
conditions and seems to discredit or
persecrte those who demand reform.
He distrusts plans for universal edu
cation because he has secret con
tempt for the minds of the masses
of the people.
"The progressive man, on the con-
trary, defends free speech and univer-
sal education because he has faith in
the Intelligence and trusts the mo-
tives Of the masses"

standing of Americanism is just as
high and probably the percentage of
native born members is just as high.
The trade union movement will take
care of whatever alien ideas may try
to break in. It viii take care Of them
in the democratic manner of America
by knocking them into cooked hat
The American trade unionist doesn't
shudder at an idea. IF it's good, he
wants il. If it's bad, he gets down
to brass tacks and proves it, There
need be no worry about crazy ideas
doing anything to the American. la
Dor movement. Too many of them
have tried it. There's trail of the
bleached bones of crazy ideas in the
wake of the labor movement.
No doubt there are members of un-
ions who have wrong ideas. It is
safe to say that such is the case. Does
any other organization claim to be
immune? No doubt there are mem
bers os unions who believe the Amer
lean form of government the best
form. No doubt there are some trade
unionists who believe in anarchy, in
Bolshevlsm. There probably ale some
bankers who believe in monarchy.
There probably are some business men
who believe in having autocrats. 1t
is also certainty that there are some
bankers and some business men who
believe in bolshevism enough to want
to do business with bolshevism and
get hold of some of its gold.
When members of unions do things
that are illegal they have got to face
the punishment decreed by law, just
the same as if they were not trade
unionlsts. Probably the percentage
of guilty union men punished for
crimes committed is as high as the
percentage of bankers and lawyers and

1000 PER CENT PROFIT!
That's What One Coal Com
pany Made, as Shown by
McAdOO Report to Senate
-164 Corporations Made
100 Per Cent or More!
BY Chester M. Wright

When William G. McAdoo said that
the government ought to make public
the exact profits of coal companies,
the coal barons got "all het up" with
righteous indignation-and fright. Mr..
McAdoo said that coal profits ran as
high as 1000 per cent on capital
stock; and he said he knew because
he had seen the income tax figures.
Promptly the members of the Pro
fiteer Family began to call McAdoo
names. They intimated that he had
broken the rules of the game and talk
ed out of school.
But McAdoo hadn't broken any
rules. He had quoted from report
made by him to the United States
senate in compliance with a senate
resolution asking for just such re-
port. This resolution was adopted
on June 6, 1918. The report was
printed in the government printing
office. 1t is entitled Corporate
Earnings and Government Revenue"
and is known as Senate Document 259.
You can't get copy because it is out
of print. Such documents usually are
out of print quickly.
This report shows two interesting
things:
First: The highest coal mine profit
in 1918 was 7,856.41 per cent
Second: In that year 164 coal cor
porations made profit of 100 per
cent or more, which means that in
that sone year 164 corporations made
in profit sum equal to or more than
their entire capital stock!
These two facts are decidedly inter-
esting. The McAdoo report gives the
earnings of $50 coal mining corpora
tions. Of these only "a made profit
of less than 25 per cent.
Pity the poor coal baron!
