that time he has been active in the

The discontinuance Of the steam
boat line between Belfast, Islesboro
and Camden is deeply deplored alike
by Belfast and Iselsboro people, for
it breaks the connection between the

the people of Islesboro take to come
to Belfast for shopping. The land
ing at Smiths, in Crow Cove, is with

access TO any part of Islesboro, and
the route is one of the smoothest

JUSTICE ASKED FOR
"MAMMYS" CHILDREN.

The most fitting memorial to
BLACK Nanny" and the one she
could most appreciate, would be
the protection Of her sons from
torture and death at the hands of
the mob, says DR.. M. Ashby Jones,
son Of Robert f. Lees chaplain
and one of the South's ablest
preachers, commenting on the
proposed memorial in the Atlanta
Constitution, in connection with
the recent lynching at Columbia,
Mo. In view Of the frequency Of
occurrences, when men are hang
ed or burned without trial and of
ten wholly on suspicion, it is not
surprising, said DR.. Jones, that
many intelligent negroes are indif-
ferent or actively opposed to the
proposed monument, prompted
though it be by the fine and sim
cere sentiment of the south's
best people.
If we are grateful for what
Black Nanny did," DR.. Jones
continued, our gratitude should
find expression in a concerted eff
fort to write upon the statute
books Of our states adequate leg
islation for the prevention of
lynching and the safeguarding of
Black Mammy's children | challenge
the nobility Of our Southern peo-
pie in some organized and ade-
quate way to see to it that the
mob shall no longer dominate
Southern civilization and humiliate
us before the world. By our low
ing gratitude to "Black Nanny"
of yesterday and our loyalty to
our fathers and mothers whom she
crooned to sleep with her lullabias.
let US swear that her children and
grandchildren of today shall have
fair chance"
The South has always been
most respectful to the old-time
Southern darkey both in song and
story. The Times-Recorder recalls
how a third Of a century or more
ago Joel Chandler Harris in his
Uncle Remus stories Wed with
Sam W. Small in his Uncle ST
Stories which ran in the Atlanta
Constitution at that period of the
worlds history after the recon
struction' days and were read
around the freside by men in the
shadows.

COW NOW PAYS FOR
FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

What the COW does for the
newspaper is the latest story to be
told by newspaper man-Hon.
Joe Lawrence, editor Of the Ash
burn Wiregrass Farmer. Editor
Lawrence doesn't say SO but he
might claim large part of the
credit for putting the profit
making bovine on the road to the
newspaper office, so to speak.
Mr.. Lawrence has just had a
striking illustration of what a COW
can do in helping its own pay his
subscription to his home news
paper.
J. E. Wilson, a farmer, walked
into the offices of Mr.. Lawrence's
newspaper, the Wiregrass Farmer
at Aushburn. Instead of paying
the usual $3.50 for a years sub
scription, Mr. Wilson handed Edi-
tor Lawrence more than six times
that amount, or to be exact, $40,
with the remark
In appreciatios of what the
Wiregrass Farmer has done in es-
tabIishing diversified farming and
in bringing prosperity back to the
farmers Of the section"
Mr.. Wilson said further that
since he started to milk cows he
always had a few dollars in his
pocket"
Editor Lawrence says he has
noticed that the farmers who are
patronzing the creamery-Ash-
burn having one of the largest
creameries in Georgia-and the
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1923-05-18

piece Of economic legislation and
has raised a political question of
the first magnitude.
Sugar was selling at an aver
age price of sc cents a pound in
ffty-one cities Of the country be-
fore the Fordney-McCumber bill
was enacted. Shortly after the
bills passage sugar began to
grow dearer. In February, five
months after the enactment of the
tariff, sugar was selling at 8 cents
pound, and in April, seven
months after the duty of 2.20
cents a pound was imposed, the
retail price was 10 1-2 cents, or
SO per cent more than in April,
1922. In other words, dollar
would buy Is pounds of sugar a
year ago, and will buy only IL
pounds now. The politics of that
Situation IS just as easy as its
mathematics. That's what is worry
ing the Republican leaders.
The tariff question is wrapped
in every package Of sugar that is
carried into an American home
these days. And unlike the years
that are gone, the package falls in
to the hands of voter as well as
a housewife. From the lesson
Of sugar American women, it is
believed, viii turn to the lessons
of wool and cotton and silk and
beef and utensils and all the 9TH
er commodities she buys, and what
she learns, it is thought, will prove
fatal to the Republican tariff in
1924.

SHOWING WHY
CITIES CROW.

The rapid growth which many
progressive cities and towns uc-
coed in attaining has been one of
the marvels Of American life. Peo-
PIE who are ambitious to have their
own communities go ahead often
ask how it is that these advanc-
ing places secure these quick gains.
Investigation would commonly
show that such progress is not us
ually due merely to favorable To-
cations. The citizens of such
places have not sat and waited for
progress to come to them. They
have done lot IF hustling them
selves.
The reputation that a certain
city is a live town has lot to do
with its advance. People like to
buy real estate or engage in bust
ness in such communities as they
feel that investment values will
gain, They enjoy the feeling of
life and activity that prevail in
such a city.
Chamber of Commerce, Boards
of Trade and all such organiza-
tions have had much to do with
the advance of these fast growing
cities. Americas and Sumter is
fortunate in having a live trade
body whose activities are show,
ing some wonderful results for the
good Of this section. 1t is common
" true though that when men band
themselves together in an active
association of this nature, they
usually achieve some Of the de-
Finite results that they aim for in
the shape of public Improvements,
new industries and the right sort
Of emigrants.
But even if such an organiza-
ton does 60 along for time with
out much tangible achievement,
the business naen are working UNI
itedly for new facilities and adj
yantages, creates an atmosphere of
progress. The activities Of our or
ganization are reported in the big
city newspapers and discussed BY
travellers and residents. The idea
spreads around that Americas and
Sumter county is a place of ac-
tive and working community spirit,
where the people are hustling to
get things done. When a place gets
that reputation, it will grow of its
own momentum.

IF SUGAR BOYCOTT FAILS
WOMEN TO USE VOTE

President Harding's practical
approprice Of sugar by curtaining
approval Of the fight thousands of
women are waging to reduce the
price of sugar by the use
of this commodity is be-
ing read in connection with his
forthcoming political perigrina-
tions. The women who besought
President Harding's moral support
for their campaign seemed to take
it for granted that he could Meth
er maintain silence nor express
dissent after having exonerated
the tariff Of responsibility for the
present profteeriug and refused
to lower the duty as a direct and
effective method Of stopping the
orgy Of gouging. a
There is a political as well as an
economic phase to the battle the
women of the country have begun
against their exploiters. They are
no longer merely housewives and
stewards of the home. They are
also voters and quite able and
ready to take care of themselves
and their interests. It is doubtful
whether a boycott by housewives
would have been very effective,
but a strike" of women voters
who can give or withhold their
ballots next year according as the
Republican administration grants
or denies its cooperation is a
wholly different matter.
If the price of sugar continues
TO average 10 1-2 cents a pound,
retail, as it did in April, or if it
reaches a still higher level and
remains there while the President
is on the circuit in quest Of votes
he will be facing and addressing
thousands Of women who will be
waiting for an answer to the ques-
stion, What are you going to do
to stop this profiteering in sugar?"
In this rise in the price Of sugar
is epitomized one of the main is
sues of the next campaign-the
Fordney-McCumber tariff. 1t has
brought home to the women Of the
country the vital Importance of the
Republican administrations classic
