FIRE PREVENTION DAY

October 8, 1921, is the fiftieth
anniversary of the fire which
in 1871 destroyed the city OF
Chicago.
Statistics for 1920 show prop
erty loss by fire of $500, 100000,
with an estimated loss of life OF
$4,000 persons.
The observance of hre-preven-
ton day should be concerted
universal effort to reduce this stu
pendous loss of life and property
by FIRE. The aim of fre-preven-
ton day is to bring to the people
a realization of two fundamental
facts; that the fire loss is every
body's loss and everybody's re-
sponsibility. and that the great
majority OF fires are prevent
able through the exercise 'oi
ordinary carefulness. All features
of fire-prevention day observance
should emphasize these two facts.
1t is because these fundamentals
are not commonly realized that
fire losses are SO enormous. and
it will be only when fire-preven-
ton education brings a general
realization of them that losses OF
life and property can be measur-
ably reduced.
Begin now; there is no civic
movement more important than
fire prevention. As fire-preven-
ton day, October 9, falls on Sun
day this year. the elimination OF
the fre-prevention campaign,
which began on October /, Is 10
be on Monday, October 10. Sun
day, the 9th, will doubtless be de-
voted to flre-prevention day OBJ
servance in the churches.
Every member of the conrmu-
nifty should be interested in hire
prevention day and take some
part in its observance.

HARDING DELIVERS FIRST ANNUAL MESSAGE
PROPOSED US. ANTI-LYNCH
LAW is SCORED BY JUDGE
Judge Eve of Tiff Circuit, Calls It Another Assas-
snation of States Rights Urges Good Wo
men To Vote, For Others Will

TIFT0N, Dec. 6.Another assas-
sination Of States Rights, is the way
Judge Eve characterized the propos-
ed federal ,anti-lynchcing law in his
charge to the grand jury of Tiff
Superior court Monday. He detailed
the various provisions of the law and
expressed the opinion that it would
be unconstitutional but at the same
time warned his hearers that it could
be passed as an amendment to the
constitution and ratified without the
consent of the IL Southern states. A
large crowd was present to hear the
judges charge.
Referring to tAe Nineteenth
amendment, he said this was not a
matter for discussion, as it is a law,
and expressed the opinion that good
women should be encouraged to reg
lister and vote. Others will do so,
and the good women should be en-
couraged to qualify. Also, he hoped
that they would not vote as a sex but
study out political questions and vote
from conviction.
People were cautioned not to ex-
pect too much from the arms confer
ence. The process Of evolution is
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-12-06

slow and the worlds problems can
not be solved in an hour, he said.
He expected reduction of taxation to
result from the conference but did
not look for the prevention of wars
which will probably come in the
course of time and the growth of pub
lie sentiment. War should be outlaw
ed, just asethe duello was outlawed
and the law that applies to the indi-
vidual should be made to apply to ma
tions, he said.
Judge Eve also expressed the opin-
ion that more should be done in our
common schools towards instruction
Of children in current events of the
day and suggested that the state SUI
perintendent of schools might send
monthly or even weekly, reviews of
what is going. on and that premiums
might be offered for essays on good
citizenship and prominent topics of
current discussion.
LET us have faith that right makes
might and in the faith let us do our
duty as we understand t, from Lin
coins second inaugural address,
Judge Eve gave as his personal slo-
gan and recommended it as a good
slogan for grand juror.

CRIMINALS
COURT PROBLEM
Judge Finally Continues Case To
Keep Young Negroes From
Roformatory or Changing

Judge Littlejohn, of the Superior
court, was in a quandary last evening
what to do with two negro boys aged
10 and 13 who entered plea OF
guilty Of robbing George Williams,
an aged negro man, OF 500 IN the
Central station here a few months
ago. The boys were Fred Lee WHEY
and James hardy, of Albany MIN
ME hardy, mother of one OF the boys,
was present. On recommendation OF
Solicitor FELTON, their case was con-
tinucd for six months to give them
q chance to pay the money back and
sho wgood behavior. A sentence
with a parole was Recommended, but
a reformatory sentence could not be
parolcd and tha judge refused TO
PASS chaingang sentence fearing
they would violate the parole and
would then have to be sent TO the
chaineang as originally sentenced.
The case will be noile pressed il they
make good during the next SIX
months. They were released on their
on recognizance.
In presenting the case TO Judge
Littleiohn, Solicitor FELTON, mention
ed that both he and the court un-
derstand that would be under the
severest public criticism should these
two small boys by any chance go to
the chainga'sy, becau>e' of their ex-
tremc youth. :,
The Solicitor after converslng VITA
the mother said he believed she was a
worthy negro woman and it would be
entirely proper to place the boys IN
her care.

REEVES NOT
BADLY HURT

J. G. Reeves, a Seaboard engineer,
was struck by a flying missile yes
terday morning while his train was at
a point Z miles west of Richland en-
rclte to Americas, his. chin being
badly lacerated. At first it was be-
lieved he had been seriously injured
and at Richland, DR.. McCurdy, DR..
Pickett and DR.. Simpson were call
ed to attend him. They removed
silver of wood about two inches in
length from the wound and after
this surgical aid, Reeves was able to
come on to his home here, reaching
Americus on the afternoon train.
Conductor G. A. Boatright, who was
in charge of Engineer Reeves train
fast freight No. 80, brought the train
into Amcricus, after arranging for
surgical treatment of the disabled
engineer. Whether the missile which
struck Reeves was thrown by some
migcreant, or the accident result
ed from other causes is unknown.

Directly Interested To Re-
Establish World Normally

WASHINGTON, Dec. Presi
dent Harding informed congress. to-
day in his first annual message that
a most gratifying world accomplish
ment" by the arms conference lis not
improbable" the message being de-
livered by the president in person in
the house chamber, in the presence
of members of congress, delegates
to the arms conference and most of
the diplomats stationed in Washing
ton.
AT the outset, the president dis
cussed world conditions, saying that
a world restoration program" will
have to be worked out "by the na-
tions most directly concerned" The
United States will help in the formu
lation of this program, he added.

the president said it was his purpose
to present a plan (which conten-
plates no greater draft on the public
treasury" in connection with this
problem. The proper encourage
ment" of cooperative marketing pro-
grams was also suggested by the cx-
ecutive in his address.
The president also told congress it
should give its earnest attention to
the formulation of a general policy
toward transportatiop problems, the
distribution of industry and highway
construction, to encourage the spread

Other recommendations inelhded
a plan for the inauguration Of ar
