A GREAT ACTRESS COMING.

A MERICUS is to have the rare
treat Friday evening of this
week of seeing a really great actress.
James Cowl, who seldom leaves New
York, will be seen here at the Ry-
lander in a delightful play.
1t is not often the Times-Recorder
itself recommends a play, because
that is net its business, but the APP
pearance of Miss Cowl here has such
an importance that we feel we would
be lacking in appreciation of her
art, and in the interest of our fellow
citizens, did we not call attention to
the event this manner in advance.
There are actors and actors; there
are plays and plays. Jane Cowl IS
not well known in the South, but her
name stands alongside the very best,
and those play lovers who fail to take
advantage of her appearance here will
be missing probably the best the sea-
son will have to offer. We gladly
recommend all who can do so to see
delightful and beautiful Jane Cowl.

it prevail for better government.
GAS doubtful as we may have been,
in days past, of what the participa-
ton of women in politics might bring
about, we have already seen enough
right here in this redeemed and po-
litically regenerated city, to cast all
fears aside, and, with due amends,
admit that the influence of women
in politics is for good, no matter
from what angle it is viewed. .
Eyes, there's no doubt about it;
the women have come into the bal
ance of power in politics-and they
are going to WELD that balance of
power for the good of their commune
ty and society in general.
eyes, indeed, the advent of wo-
men in politics has changed the whole
face of the political map-and it is
going to be better map from now
on. For they are going to dc the
things in politics that needed to be
done, but which we men either
wouldn't, or couldn't dc; they are
going to throw the weight of their
influence to better government and
better public servants-not singly or
in small groups, but almost solidly-
every time the polls open to record
the will of the people"
Americas has not yet had an cleo
ton in which there was a contest or
an issue since the women have had
the ballot, but it has seen some bit
ter political fights in the past. The
experiences of other cities in Geor-
gia should be a lesson to local poll
ticlans who may be planning for the
future. The woman has become a
! dominant factor in Georgia, and she
will so remain. And she is not going
tc be so easily handled by the poll
ticians as has been her male com
panion.

freight alone, and when to that hand
ling charges, profits, etc, are added
it is not difficult to understand why

on Sunday morning, in borrowed
''dress," to be sure, but much the

advice by the announcement that it

regrettable part of the conflagra-
