SLOWPOKES

In London, traffic moves slowly
SO slowly that the congestion
costs England 100 million dollars
year. So claim the experts who
have studied the matter for the
British government.
However, extremes meet, and
it's doubtful whether the slow
poke pace costs Londoners more
than the cost to US of madhouse
rush without real cause. Haste
makes waste-more waste than a
slow pace. What difference will it
make a hundred years from now?
SUGAR
After all the excitement about
sugar shortage, Uncle Sans De-
partment of Agriculture estimates
that the worlds crop of sugar this
year will be 288,OOO tons more
than last years crop of 4,OO8,OOO
tons.
It's just one more reminder that
our nervously apprehensive genera
ton lives in constant fear of crises
that never materialize.
SPENDING
The iceman collects a million dol.
lars day from the American peo.
pie. And about the same amout i,
spent for furs. We also spend a
hllllion dollars a week for gum
These figures are revealed by re,
cent analysis of sums collected
taxes.
But the figures are amazinpl,
small, rather than startling large
when you consider that they rep,
resent the buying of at least ZOE
million Americans. None of u,
fully realizes the enormous buying
power of the American people.
It's so big it's a wonder we evel

LAWS

Americans have at least 100,
600 laws to obey. An expert makes
this estimate. He is too conser-
vative. The last Congress passed
$50 new laws. And the various
State Legislatures pass about 49,
600 laws a year.
We are too interested in enact
ing new laws, not enough attention
to enforcing laws we already have.
Easy to understand. We have a
national mania for believing that
all we have to do to solve a prob
lem is to get a legislative body
to rule against it. Pass a law
agin it," is hypnotic formula by
which we dodge issues the .solu-
ton of which is in ourselves rather
than in statutes.

The Established Fact means nothing to them,
And the Practical Thing means less;
They buck the Wholly Impregnable -
In sheer dun-headedness!
They try to march impossible Roads
Which lead to Impossible Goals
They try to scale Unscalable Peaks,
These irresponsible Souls.
With guns of wood and with swords of la.h
They jump in the roaring fray;
Or they put to in lealy skiffs,
To sail to Far Cathay
They leap in the dark, for they see a Star
Where only the fire-flies gleam
They batter their shins on the Obvious
While chasing a Distant Dream.
And the Wise World laughs-and the World is right.
They're wildly Impractical Grew.
bunch of Fuzzy Idealists
In all of the things they do;
They fight with windmills and always fall
Their deeds and their thoughts are hollow
But somehow other, they make trail
For the rest of the world to follow.

ton with the S. A. 4 NJ railroad,
and arrived yesterday 10 enter
upon his new duties, He is a
brother of Mr.. R. S, Broadhurst,
of this city, and will be cordially
welcomed to Americas. y
Cotton rolled in from the eoun-
try at a lively rate yesterday. re-
ceipts by wagon being 463 bales.
Warehousemen look for a rush Of
the staple today and tomorrow. and
some predict that receipts for the
two days will aggregate 1900
bales. There was much better
feeling in the local cotton market
yesterday than on the day previous.
There was an advance of twenty
points, and buyers and sellers
alike felt better. New York closed
suiet at s 81 for middling, while
Savannah closed firm at 7 Sd for
the same.
It is altogether probable that
another train will be put on the
western division of the S. A. & NJ.
road in week or two which will
between Americas and Omaha. on
the Chattahoochee.
+, A party of young men returned
yesterday from two DAYS fishing
frolic at Wells mill, eight miles be-
low Americas on the Southwestern
railroad. The mill dam gave wav
two or tire days ago and the
greatest sport imaginable was had
catching hundreds of fine fish left
in deep hole in the pond by the re-
ceding waters.
Miss Estelle Walker, who has
been a guest at the home of Mr..
A. D. Gatewood, near Americas for
the past week or two left yester.
