TO BE SIDETRACKED

Atlanta, July cit now appears
that thes much expected water

develop to any considerable extent
this year in the Georgia legislature.
In fact, it is said the advocates of the
measure have themselves decided
that, instead of pressing the PROPOSE
ton. if the heavy contest against
the bills is to be maintained. it will
be their purpose to continue for an
other year their propaganda cam
paign, with the view of increasing
and accommodating strength-if such
thing is possible, which apparently
it is MOTTO come back next year.
The largely talked-of fight which

also dropped out of consideration,

OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS

After visit of a week to rcla-
tives in his former home, Mr.. W. E.
Murphey left yester day via the Cen
trail for Tuscon, Arizona, spending
few days in Columbus en- rote.
Seven years ago Mr.. Murphey left
Americas to accept a government
position in Tuscon, and this is his
first visit here in that length of
time. Mrs. Murphey and children will
remain a month longer with her sis
tiers, Mrs. R. L. Bivins and Mrs. c.
c. Hawkins.
An instance of thrift and economy
was developed here day or two ago
when the excursion train from Savan-
nah reached Americus. Along with
the hilarious negro cXcursionists was
brought corpse, the relatives in
Savannah deciding to bury it here,
where the deceased one had resided.
The corpse rode on an excursion tick
ct costing $2.75, and was most tho
roughly ready for burial. The attend
ant who came with the body scalp
ed" both the return tickets to Savan-
nah.
Frank Turpin has just taken the
position of night clerk at the Windsor
hotel, succeeding Linton Lester, who
proposes to engage in other business
shortly.
Cliff Clay, Jr, is at home from
New York to spend a few days and
visit his parents here.
The first liberia peaches brought
to Americas this season were shown
in the market yesterday. and while
not of very excellent quality, were
Elbertas nevertheless.
There will be corn and cotton to
sell in Americas next fall. The hot
dry weather has afforded farmers
an opportunity to kill grass and near
ly all of the small farms and many
of the big ones are free from it.

NOW, the Times-Recorder does
not care two whoops what the
Banner or any other newspaper
prints. They may all turn over
their plants to the power com
pany if they so desire to exploit
free the Vaccinations of that con-
Germ. But we do not believe the
Banner considered what it was
printing in this case, as In Others
previously, and we assume it had
merely grown lax and become the
innocent victim again of adroitIy
concealed corporation propa-
ganda designed to assist in the
hight which the power company is
making on the program of the
Georgia Municipal League and in
defense of the Georgia Railway
commission, to whose decisions
during the last year the company
lis forever indebted.
If the Banner and every other
Georgia newspaper will close their
columns to all of this stuff it will
force the power company to make
its fight in the open. In an open
fight we may trust the outcome,
but in a fight under cover, with
the public on one side and organ
lied millions on the other, the
advantage is all against the
nublic

company, which is commonly
known as the. power trust in
Georgia, is again using the col
umns of the state press-those
columns where close watch on
what goes into them is not kept

in the news columns free. Some
time ago the Times-Recorder call
ed the attention of the Brunswick
Banner to the fact that it was be
ing used by the power company
through its poorly disguised press
agent operating a so-called news
bureau in Atlanta. The Banner
entered public plea of guilty on
that occasion and took the pledge
more carefully to scrutinize in the
future the matter it published.
Now. after a period of living

GOOD news keeps coming in
every day from various sec
tons of South Georgia, A week
end replrt disclosed that the
peach shipments from the state
had already surpassed early esti-
mates of $500 cars for the sea-
son. a total of nearly 1850 being
reached Saturday night, and that
the total for the season would APP
proach $3.50 cars, bringing into
the state some $50,000.000 cash.
Then from the Valdosta section
comes the word that the first sea-
son of the Southwest Georgia
Melon Growers Association just
closing, has handled 800 cars, at
an average price of $500 car
for the whole melon crop, bring
ing in some $4,000 in cash,
Melons from elsewhere in
Georgia will soon be moving, and
on the heels of these crops will
come the fall harvest of cotton,
corn, pccans, peanuts, sweet po-
tatoes, and a hundred other val
liable products-all produced this
year more cheaply than ever be
fore, with Sumter county produc-
Ing her share and more.
South Georgia has weathered
the storm in great shape and is
already recovering. The fall will
be far different from what the first
half of the year has been.
