The Community
Orchestra

AS a community asset, the
orchestra composed of 10 or g
pieces, is making a place for
itself in the hearts of our peo-
pie, second to no other organi-
cation.
AS an advertisement for
Americas, it is of first magni-
tude. AS means of uplift in
the realms of music, it is doing
what no other organization has
been able to accomplish.
Sunday afternoon the large
Rylander theater was packed
from roof to ground floor. Hun
dreds were standing and hum
dreds were turned away. Au-
tomobile paties from a distance
of Is to so miles were in the
city for the occasion.
This splendid organization is
in its infancy. While only
few weeks old, limited in num-
bers and with no financial back
ing whatever. it has worked its
way to the forefront of Ameri-
Gus institutions.
Those composing the orches-
ira are deyoting hours and hours
to practice. They have been
paying for their own music and
meeting other expenses out of
their pockets.
Manager Herbert Kincey has
donated the use of his theater
and has contributed quite a sum
toward helping with the expens-
es. And this is the only hnan-
cial help the orchestra has re-
ceived.
Americus should take off its
hat to the Community Orches-
ira, for Americus is under great
obligations to these musicians
for what they are doing for our
city.

THE OLD Town is SPREAD
ING OUT.
Albany is growing.

Albany is growing.
Without ever an interruption:
as steadily as water falls from
the caves of a roof when it is
raining, or as a plant grows when
the spring showers and sunshine
bid it grow, so is Albany spread
ing out.
The real growth of Albany
cannot be noted in the middle
of the town. There one sees
business buildings going up o.
being enlarged, dwellings
apartment houses in process of
construction where sites are
available, etc, but the spread
ing-out process in which is the
real evidence Of growth is to be
observed in the suburbs, both
within and without the city
limits.
Albany has never had a boom.
Never have the prices of real
estate been boosted by artificial
stimulation. But they have in
creased steadily from year to
year.-Albany Herald.

Do You Know That

81 There are 1906 more peo-
pie in the counties abutting
Sumter than in those counties
abutting Dougherty.
Inside the nine counties which
encompass Sumter there are
l35,437 people. according to
the national census maps. Inside
those seven counties encircling
Dougherty there are 1852.
The above facts were brought
to our attention very recently by
an Americas merchant, whe
said:
For potential possibilities, I
would select Americas over Al
bany-Americus has the edge on
population. Within Am.ericus'
trade territory are $4,000 peo-
pie, if we go by abutting coun-
ties. / have taken the towns and
roads into consideration, and still
Americas has the edge in point of
miles and population.
"The merchant who goes after
that business in a sane, conserva-
tive, consistent way will surprise
himself and his community in a
years time.
ITO win, he must have the
stock, priced conservatively, and
backed by real merchandising
ability. Some day some live fell
low will see this and walk away
with the prize.
II have covered the territory
within radius of 25 miles of
both Albany and Americas, and
| know that the territory that
backs up Americas is SUI
perior to that backing up that
splendid little city Of Albany.
And know both towns"
There's food for serious
thought" in what this Americus
man says. and a fortune for the
merchant who sees the point
FIRST and gets busy.
For truth to tell, there no an
er land in the world than Sum
terss and much of that in thu

An we figure the things that We could do.
Now we could go fishin'
Or swimmn in the creek
An we could go huntin' now an then.
Yes, we could go campin
An could camp solid week,
And we wouldn't have the teacher buttin in.
Just think of things we're missin'
While we're all sittin' here,
An fgurn arithmetic an such.
An spellin' an geography
Seems awful strange an queer;
We're thinkin' of the speckled brim an perch
That's swimmin in the river,
Or the creek near at ham,
Or flashin' up an down the babblin' brook.

had 143 bales of cotton in the ware
house, besides seventy-five bales
which he controlled, making
total of 218 bales While in the
city he sold a couple of bales JUS
to raise a little pin" money but
the bulk of the crop will be held fol

France is hauling 50 million
tons of freight a year on hes
rivers and canals. Here in America
we ship more than that on onr
Great Lakes. But river and canal
traffic is in its infancy. 1t had a
big start long ago, especially en-
the Ohio and Mississippi. Railroads
came and took business from the
rviers. But river traffic is reviving
rapidly. Properly developed, and
coupled with an elaborate system
of canals, we'd have water routes
that would by competition compel
the steam railroads to be more eff
ficient or per Il.

Harry Daughertys?

From day. to day the scandal
pot at Washington belche.
smoke that grows blacker and
blacker.
There is one consoling feature
in connection with the Wash
ington scandals: 1t seems evi-
dent that those engaged in the
gigantic pilfering are limited to a
comparatively small group of
men. Numerically, the number
under suspicion are few.
While no man should be con-
demned until he is proven
guilty, those under suspicion
should be removed even if tenn
porarily.
The affairs of the nation
should not be administered un-
der suspicion. The President
acted with good judgment in de-
demanding the resignation of
Daugherty. However we be-
lieye it would have been better
for his party, had MI. Coolidge
fred Daugherty sooner.
With Daugherty, self came
before his chief, his party or the
best interests of the nation. 1t
may be that not half of the
oharges made against him are
true, but enough evidence has
been piled up against him to
show his utter unfitness for the
office of Attorney General.
In a scathing rebuke for
hanging on too long. Col Nc
Intosh Of the Albany Herald,
says:
The man WHO wrapped the
cloak Of outraged virtue about
him and defied the lightnings of
criticism. and the thunders of a
nations indignation THE manwho
embarrassed his party by refus-
ing to "quit under fre,7 though
the fire was almost as hot from
his own party's entrenchments as
from any other quarter-at last
he yields to the inevitable and
steps down and out.
There was a time when Dauqh-
elty could have reigned with very
good grace. he would have been
more or less discredited, and the
burden of his failure would have
rested in a measure on the adj
ministration that is responsible
for him, but it would have been
possible him to "save his facet
IN measure, even as did Den
by.
But Daugherty hung on. He
defied the Indictment of foe and
the appeal of friend. He stub
bornly set himself against the
storm. and bade it rage. And rage
it did. Never in the history Of
the government has there been
LAID at the door of high official
such a mass of discriminating
eyldence-evidence of official
corruption. graft, greed and po-
litlcal intrigue, OF which this
man Daugherty Is tie center. ut
probably isn't all truo.V a good
many people say, and thew prob
ably are right; but so much of It
clearly is true that of Daugh-
erty's unfitness for office there
cannot be the smallest doubt.
Let him go! AS he quits the
high office he has betrayed the
reeking filth of oil marks his
downward trail, and about his
name there gather nation
anathemas. He was unfit 20 nc
the servant of a people who ~
posed trust in the party which
honored him.
Let him go!-into the oblivion
that awaits his kind.
The investigations at Wash
ington are requiring a large
amount of time, and yet it is
necessary that they continue.
Because Daugherty is now a pri-
vate citizen is no excuse for
quitting. He is innocent or he is
guilty of gross misuse of his Of
flee. If guilty he should be jail
cd. IF innocent, he should be
cleared.
