ever, in that some of our South
ern states are becoming aroused
to the situation and are setting
about to make the conditions more
endurable.
| think the records will show
that North Carolina has taken the
lead IN this respect, while Loulsi-
ana, MISSISSIPPI, SouJn Carolina,
Alabama ana tennessee are fol
lowing up the example to more
or less commemorate degree. North
Carolina has Appropriated mil
lion dollars to be applied to the
improvement of negro health and
education above that appropriate
ed for elementary public schools.
Louisiana has appropriated more
than half d million and South
Carolina and Tennessee, several
hundred thousand dollars each.
Such acts of interest on the
part of these states are doing much
to keep the negroes in the South.
1t is also interesting to note that
contentment among the negroes
is most complete in North Carolina
where the best facilities for their
protection and education are pro-
vided. 1t would appear that our
own beloved state, Georgia, would
take a lesson from her sister
Southern states along these lines.
note that the discussion of the
bond issue for Americas is again
appearing. Why cannot the citi-
zens of Americas issue a hundred
and fifty thousand dollars Of this
amount in providing more ade-
quate accommodation for public
school education for negro chill
dren? i 4
Such a course, in my judgment,
would prove one of the wisest in
vestments that Americas could
possibly make.
Let US improve the conditions
and the negro will stay in the
South. ~ss n
Give the negro PROTECTION
as he deserves, as one Of Gods
creatures-give him the funda-
mentals Of an education-as is his
right and the South can then hope
to retain its labor supply.

TOWNSVILLE is THIRTY
YEARS BEHIND THE TIMES

Wien Editor Ed. Jerger Of The
Thomasville Times-Enterprise read
the news that Americas on the
thirteenth Of February was going
to celebrate the fftieth anniver-
sary of the establishment of our
public school system, he grew jeal-
Gus, and began to reflect that his
own city is some thirty years be-
hind in public school educational
matters, for we find in his excel
lent newspaper this paragraph,
anent our Forthcoming celebration
next month:
They are going to celebrate the
tlttleth anniversary of the public
school system at Americas, while
in Townsville even one as young
as we are didn't have the chance to
attend a public institution of that
kind. We aren't grumbling about
what we received at school. but
it shows that there was a slow
growth for public schools, appar-
emily, when two towns as close
as Americas and Thomasville,
were thirty years apart in its
establishment"
Now, Brother Jerger may be
consoled when it is known that his
own delightful city is not alone
among some other South Georgia
cities we know in this matter of
establishing public schools. Whilst
the system here actually became a
law fifty years ago, we are told
that it was some years afterwards
these schools began to function
on account of a hitch somewhere
along the line. But when We did
get to going it has been like per-
petual motion.
The Times-Recorder has been
watching with keenest interest
what our little sisters down be-
low US have been accomplishing
in an educational way and we have
marveled at their growth in many
ways. With their excellent schools,
their good newspapers, but first
of all their churches, all of which
are the bulwark of our common
wealth, and the Americas district
and the district adjacent can boast
that we are mighty well fixed on
these three essentials.

he found his car and backed into the
yard. He was leaving the Parsons
household to go to his own home.
It might be long before he saw Kate
again if he lived up to his promise,
and he knew that he must.
As he turned, Kate approached the
machine, her hand outstretched.
Just then Justin came into the yard
with a letter in his hand.
This is for you, Katie" he said.
Kate recognized the writing as that
Of Alice. Latham waited. Kat

AN UNEXPECTED LETTER


DO you want me to go on
Latham's tone was sympathetic.
But there isn't much more to tell"
"Yes-fnish." Kate couldn't en-
dure his sympathy.
Talk of the girl seemed to IN
nuriate Dan," Latham went on. Her
name wasn't mentioned. But Dan
did speak of his wife"
"Yes?" Hates tone was eager.
He said he had written letter to
his wife which she might never read
but which meant more than anything
he had ever said or done in his life
"A Ietter-to me" Hates smile
was glorious. The sun, shifting
through the trees, brought out the
lights in her hair and eyes. She was
beautiful.
"Where did he put the letter."
In the trunk, l think
Then we must find that trunk"
Kate was on her feet. "Just where
is the fishing smack"
"On the Wabash, not far from
Terre haute, and l suppose, after
all of this, there isn't any use Of say
ng over again something I've already
said to you a thousand times
earnestly. ....
"No Jimmy, not now. l couldn't
5e honest with you now anyway be-
ause I'm in a tumuIt, mentally and
piritually. Help me find out about
Alice and about the trunk and then
say what you want to to me all over
again and I'll give you an honest
answer.
Il promise" The promise meant
much to James Latham. His brown
eyes rested on Kate with something
of dogHke devotion.
His steps Jagged as he walked to-
ward the house. Kate hurried on
ahead. Justin would be waiting for
breakfast.

While there is no grain famine

demand for corn and oats already
which the Americas dealers are find
ing difficult to supply.
AS the electric car and automobile
