THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY

Mr.. E. L. Stanfield, CHATS
COot) left yesterday for Chicago,
where he goes as a delegate from
the local Typographical Union,
which convenes in the Windy City
next week.
A white man paid a nickel at
Buchanan's store yesterday for as
many cucumbers as he could eat.
After storing away a half dozen
of the cholera bombs he was of
fered 25 cents to stop but not un-
til he had devoured eight, each of
which weighed nearly pound, did
he give up and go his way.
jim Davenport's first sale in his
new business was a baby carriage,
and the second, made ten minutes
later, was a chiId's coffin. 1t was a
rather strange coincidence; one
that may not happen again in the
experience of the popular furni4
ture dealers on the corner.
Little Miss Mary Lou Ansley,
the pretty little daughter of Mr..
E. D. Ansley. will be "at home" to
a score or mare of her little friends
from 5 to Il o'clock this evening.
The occasion promises to be of
much enjoyment to the little tots
who may be present.

Do not be deceived. The Moul-
trie Observer knows negroes are
going north and thinks that for
for awhile it will work a hard
ship, but thinks that after a time
1t will prove to be the best thing
that could happen for the south.
Hear what Editor Allen says:
Almost every night there is
further migration Of labor from
this county. We presume the
same thing is happening every
where. Not only are the negro
men going, but the women are
now going in droves. We will
soon face an entirely new situa-
ton in this section. We will see
labor shortage that is sure to
pinch in some places. While The
Observer believes it will be for
ultimate benefit of this section.
we realize that it will bring
about embarrassment for 4
time"

Over in Alabama the legisla-
ture has before it the question
OF admission tax on movies. The
measure has the approval of the
finance committee The Selma
Iimes-Journal is opposed to
such a law being enacted. At
says:
The rumor has floated out of
the sessions of the legislative
finance committee at Montgom-
cry that among the revenue-rais-
ing proposals that have been an
proved, is an admission tax at
the movies and other theatrical
show-houses. No tax has ever
been devised that did not make
the payer vince and swear while
IN the act of handing it over, but
the movie and soft drink tax of
'he war era proved to be one of
the most pestiferous assessments
that the public had to submit to.
A tax on the movies would not
yield large amount of revenue
In Alabama and would hardly
Justify it's imposition and the ex-
pense of collection. 1t is not dis
closed for what purpose the re-
turns from such a tax would be
devoted. Governor Kilby said the
tax schedules which he bequeath-
ed to his successor, if held in
tact, would be ample to take
care of all the reasonable ex-
pendItuers of the government.

SHORT MEASURES
OUT-OF-DATE.

Yards that measure only 35
inches and 15-ounce pounds are
out of-date. Advertising has put
them clear out of business.
Manufacturers who advertise
must give value, because they
have a good name to protect.
Manufacturers Of well-known
products and the merchants who
sell these products often value,
the names at millions of dollars.
They cannot afford to jeopardize
the worth of these names by
selling any but goods of full
measure and fair price.
A merchant or manufacturer
cannot afford to advertise mer-
chandise that will not give serv-
ice. The penalty of such tactics
is too heavy.
You can bank on this. Aaver7,

FARMER GETS THE
WORST OF 1T.

Official figures from the De-
partment of Agriculture and the
Department of Labor disclose
that the farmers condition has
not been improved by two Re
publican tariffs or by any other
legislation or action of the Hard
ing administration. On the bas-
is Of prices in 1913 the index
Of agricultural products is 12O
while the index for all other
commodities is It's.
Agricultural products have
purchasing power of rs, compar-
ed with 1913, while the purchas-
ing power of other products is
116. In plain language this
means that the commodities
which the farmer has to buy are
116 points higher than they were
in 1913, while those which he has
for sale are only rs points high
er.
In addition to the depreciation
of his own products and the en-
hancement Of every one else's,
the farmer also pays higher
freight rate than other shippers.
With 1913 as the basis the
freight rate on agricultural prod
ucts is now 156. The average
rate on othsF products is 151.
Through the operation Of the
Republican tariff and the Repub-
.lican transportation law the farm
er is in worse case than other
sufferers. Whether he is buyer
OF seller or shipper he gets the
worst Of it.

ONE OF THE
CARDINAL VIRTUES.

Where, dear reader, in your
opinion does fun end and rowdy-
ism begin? Possibly you have
your ideas, the same as we.
Thursday night, the beautiful
girl graduate held the stage,
thanked on either side by gal
liant youth. Happy, carefree,
and rejoicing were they when
with exercises ended they and
their friends filed out to cele-
brate.
1t was a time for JOY. Every
one was happy with them, as
many of the young people
rode over town, singing and
blowing horns. Celebrating this
important milestone in life road
to the unknown.
They were enjoying life, as
they had a right to do and the
world Tejoices with them.
Later, along in the wee hours
of the morning, there were those
returning from a dance. Happy
and thoughtless possibly, they
came through the city with auto
mobile horns screeching and
screaming. Is that fun-or other
wise?
Respecting the feeling and
comfort and happiness of 9TH
ers is one of the cardinal viz
lures.

WHAT'S THE NEWS IN
YOUR COMMUNITY.

Newspaper editors are al
ways on the lookout for news,
and the burden of the editors
existence is to get all the local
news his paper can print. He
wants all the gossip that is go
ing the rounds, and it is his bust
ness to sift that which is worth
printing from that which is not.
And sometimes the editor is
surfeited with items all nicely
written but no name is signed
to the item and in the waste
basket they go.
The Times-Recorder, like all
other well ordered newspapers,
has to contend with folks who
send in news items to the paper
after everybody else in the COM
munity has discussed them
around the fireside. We of
course appreciate the remem-
brance, but it serves no good
purpose to send in news that
has lost its newswyalue.
Our esteemed contemporary
The Rome News, covers this
very point so admirably that we
heartily endorse what that pa
per says:
''In our Wednesday afternoon
mail we received a nice write
up of an entertainment, which
We would gladly have printed,
if we had received it before it
became ancient" history, but
this entertainment was held on
SATURDAY. safternooan June 2,
therefore it was not available
for use! Let as reiterAte that we
want all the news about Lindale
while it is NEWS. We do not
care to print the birth of a child,
after it has been weaned, the
marriage Of a couple after the
honeymoon is ended, or the
death of man after the widow
has already set out looking for
another man."
Then, too there are lot of
folks who dosnot sendein items
of news to their favorite paper
because thesei items have to do
with themselves, and they hest
tate, thinking they are imposing
on the editor. AS fo1 the Times
Recorder, and we think we speak
for every other newspaper edi-
tor, this source of news infor-
nation is just the kind we are
looking for. The one who re-
members the editor in this way
is comforting a favor.
This insures getting the news
first-hand; of having the facts
clearly stated so that there can
be no misunderstanding and,
best Of all, getting it correct.
Friends of the Times-Recor-
der need have no hesitancy get
ting in touch with our local de-
partment whenever they have
an item, even if it does concern
only themselves. We want to
know of their doings and of
their accomplishments, but
please do not wait. Do it now!
