ganization. The poison of mac
ton gets into the system; it
spreads its toxic substance
throughout the body and even
enters into the spirit. It weak
ems the whole constitution of
the man and leaves him a prey
to all ailments that mean de-
feat and decay. When we squan-
der time we waste one of the
most precious substances that
has been given to US and begin
the process of whitening away
ourselves.
Great buildings that tower to-
ward the skies are but COM
bination of steel and stone that
is held together by tiny rivets.
Great deeds are the piecing to-
gether of many thoughts which
are made secure by the stead
fast employment of tiny mo-
ments. The busy hour YIELDS the
whole framework of society into
a close and durable union. The
idle hour loosens The joint and
makes the whole structure
menace instead of the glory that
it was intended it should be.

WASTING TIME is
NATIONAL. CRIME,

Wasting of anything that has
value or substance is not mere
ly criminal, it is fatal. Time is
The most valuable of our possess
sions and it is among some the
least regarded. Almost every
thing else can be replaced, but
the most fleeing second once
gone can never be restored. If
we were to stop for a moment
to reflect, we would be appalled,
at the prodigality with which we
dispense this most vital element
of life which has been provided
each Of US so sparingly. Meas
ured in the exchange of etern-
ity, minutes are less trivial, but
in the currency of human bfe
they are golden. They noun,
into hours and the stretch is ex-
istence does not include so
many that they can not easily
be calculated.
Suppose some Of us were to
total all the minutes that are
wasted in going to and from our
employment, in changing from
one job to another and in fruit
less conversation that had no
meaning or purpose. Would not
the aggregate constitute large
portion Of the space of time that
Is given to us in which to live
our lives? Also would not we be
terrified at the thought of the
many useful things we might
have done in those precious mo-
ments that are gone forever?
Hindsight is not an infallible
guide upon which to lay all plans
for the future, but reflections
should at least show to us where
we have failed in the past, and
determination should inspire us
to avoid the same failures in the
days to come.
The Idle hour is usually the
busiest one that we spend-busy
for tA& forces Of evil and disor-

COMMERCIAL. HATCHERIES
ARE MONEY.MAKERS.

There is a concerted effort
in many counties of the state
for the establishment of coop
erative commercial hatcheries
which are usually fostered by
county poultry associations and
located at points easily Access
sible to all parts of a given ter
ritory.
1t seems to the fTimesl Rec
corder that such an enterprise
for Sumter county, located in
Americas, and to serve the
country for thirty or forty miles
around would pay from the
start, say for a plant of 10000
egg capacity which would cost
around $4,000, we should ina
CINE, installed for operation.
Such plant was installed at
Ashburn last year and paid for
itself in the first four months
of operataE1. The fee for hatch
ing would be very small and UNI
der the cooperative plan can
be made much lower than in
cubator service. The Ashburn
plant Matched off 10000 baby
chicks last year and $4,000 eggs
were tarned down on account of
insufficient capacity to handle
the needs. These 100000
chickens Matched off at Ashbhrn
went back to Turner county
farms and produced some $751;
eco worth of chickens, the least
estimate.
Ours is a wonderful county
and there are many small enter
prises that could be started here
which would furnish, with little
or no 'etfoftI ready money for
our farmers.
The territory round about US
if made up of small farming OPP
erations, each unit going to
make up what should some day
be one of the wealthiest and
best farming sections for truck
ing in the whole state, is an OPP
portunity well worth consider
ing. Those who visit this section
are at once impressed with the
possibilities of Sumter for
poultry, livestock az kindred
development, besides the grow
ing crops, which by reason of
the admirable climate, outdoor
activities can be carried on prac-
tically IL months in the year.

A marriage of interest in Amer

which will be solemnized on Wed
nesday, 20 at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank S. Etheridge, in
Jackson, Ga, relatives of Miss
Lamar, and whose guest she has
been for some time.
AS had been anticipated when
President w. ]. Harahan of the
Seaboard agreed to come to Amer
icus for a conference, the result Of
that conference held yesterday
morning was all that could be de-
sired by the people of Americas.
Mr.. harahan was cordial and friend
ly in his discussion of the matter
and gave assurance that there was
no intention on the part of the
Seaboard to move the shops from
Americas.
The recent rains have proven
beneficial to the large melon crop
OF Sumter county, and while the
cold weather of the past few DAYS
mas detarded the growth of the
vines to some extent the check
put upon them will be temporary
only, and returning sunshine will
rapidly bring the crop towards ma
turity.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
ALLIES OE INDUSTRY.

The public utility industry
has become SO large and public
demands so exacting that lthe
industry as a whole has proba-
bly, the best management of any
line of industrial activity, and
furnishes service to the con-
sumner on the smallest margin of
profit.
Public Utilities are taking the
public into their confidence and
asking the people to share with
them in ownership of securities
and earnings, thus developing
the the customer ownership
idea.
To illustrate the magnitude
of improvements that are being
made in the utility field for the
benefit of the public, it is in
teresting to note the cable that
is being laid from Chicago to
New York by the Bell Tele-
phone System at a cost of $685.
100000. Storms that rage N
the winter will not interfere
with this cable. The convenience
to the public will be inestimable
but little will the man making a
telephone call realize the
amount of money that was
spent to perfect the service
rendered to him.
And this is just one cable
from New York to Chicago.
Electric companies are making
similar Improvements and the
citizen today has at his com
mand for a few dollars a month,
conveniences in his home or Of
flee which literally represent
billions of dollars worth of
equipment. The very elements
themselves have been harnessed
and tanned to do the bidding of
mankind.
E. X. Hall, an authority on
public relations in the United
States, says:
Public utilities are more
than allies of industry. They are
agencies around which and on
which modern civilization and
business and commerce is built. 3"

AME RIGA LEADS
IN HOME COMFORTS.

The average American home
has more comforts and conven
fences than the palaces of Eu-
rope. Home for home, the Amer
lean household has a well-kept
look, an datmosphere of prosper
ity and contentment you cannot
find in the homes of any other
country in the world.
In foreign lands, the modern
lied dwellings, as we know it,
is found only in limited numbers
and then only in the larger
cities.
America, even in remote
rural districts, you find pianos,
vacuum cleaners, washing ma
chimes, up to-date heating sys-
TENS, telephones and numberless
appliances that go far to make
life easier, happier and more
worth while.
You may not realize it, but
Americas high standard of
home life is due largely to ad.
vertising. For the development
of advertising is distinctively
American. 1t has taken its place
as a leading force in bringing
together the interests and wants
of a great, united people. And
a large share of the credit for
this development is due the
newspapers.
Stop and think how many of
the appliances you use, the
foods you eat, the clothes you
wear, and other articles enter
ing into your everyday life,
were popularised by newspaper
advertising.
Then you will realize what a
vital part advertising has played
and is playing in your life.
You owe it to yourself to
read the advertisements. They
mean a lot to you.

DAVIS MADE RECORD

Of the several hundred thousand Americans touring Europe this sum mer Secretary of Labor Davis, who investigated immigration conditions at their source, probably holds the record for speed and efficiency III covering the continent.
 In few days less than a month he whirled through the principal countries getting first hand knowI- edge of the human materials that are continually being cast in large quan- titles into the American melting pot.
 His trip was anything but holt- day. He put aside the dignities of his cabinet position and passed up opportunities of dining in state un- less certain he would meet somebody at these affairs who could add some thing to his stock of information about immigration. He spent long days at work in eacn country and then travelled at night to the next.
 Secretary Davis said he used the repertorial method of gathering his information That is, he visited the crowded districts where the prospec- tive immigrants live, talked to the people themselves and saw something of their living conditions; then went to the government departments and got the officia, views of how that particular government intended to handle it's surplus population prob lem.
 An example of the manner in which MT. Davis ferretted out the real authorities on immigration from among the numerous members or American officialdom abroad oc- cured in London. He arrived at midnight on a Saturday. As the Sab bath is a day of utmost quietude Tn the British capital the American re- norters did not disturb the secretary until Monday morning. One of his first inquiries of the newspaper was as to what American officials were the best authorities on the m n,ieration problem. One correspon- dent suggested Consul General skin ner. ading: He is said to be one Of the best informed officials in all Europe" , .., snen+ all of Sunday afternoon talk ing to MT.

POLICE BAFFLED IN
 "CRYING BABY" HUNT
Babe Carried Away By Crazy
 Woman Is Present Theory

NEW YORK. August 25.-The New York police were at a complete standstill Saturday night in their ef- forts to apprehend the kidnapper of 3-months-old Lillian Mckenzie, the crying baby"
 Last Saturday night while the Eighteenth street, the infant was lieted from perambulator. It has not been seen since.
 The mystery embraces the follow ing clements:
 l. No motive is apparent, the child was sickly and it's parents were poor.
 2. The street was crowded, but the act of abduction was not witnessed by anyone.
 8. Offers to take back the baby, mo questions asked" and to pay a reward for it, have met with no re- sponse
 4. The parents had no enemies.
 The theory which is gaining most credence now is that the babe was carried away by a crazy woman. If this is so, it is feared the child is oead, as it could not continue to live without special care and 8 balanced diet prescribed by physician, Since this diet was published in the news papers, for information of the kid- -..-,per and to safeguard the infants life, drug stores have been watched for persons purchasing the neceS- sary goods. But the bait was not taken,
