Intolerance.

intolerance did not depart
with the Dark Ages nor is it
unknown in enlightened Amer
lea. The American people. how
ever much they hate to or re-
fuse to admit it, are intolerant
IN matters of opinion and belief
Persons in disagreement even
on a subject most impersonal
and trivial are inspired with a
bitter hatred and irritation with
one another because of the dis
agreement.
Americans with opinions
running counter to each other
are irreconcilable. They have
not learned the art and lesson
of tolerance, so when a neigh
Dor, an editor, a public speaker
or anyone. for that matter ex-
presses a thought or a belief op-
posed to their own there arises at
once a dislike for that person
which stops nowhere less than
with a vitriolic derision of per
sonalities and personal opinions.
To be sure. people are not burn
ed at the stake for their opinions
IN this enlightened age, but il
cannot be denied opinions have
been the provocation for mod
ern murders and that many opin-
ions and their advocates are
burned at the stake every day in

Today being a legal holiday Sun
day hours will be observed at the
postoffice here. There will be two
collections of mails by carrier and
two deliveries, the same as on Sun
day.
- Capt. Henry P Snyder, formerly
a conductor on the S. A. NJ. road,
but now Of Columbus, O., arrived in
Americas for a short visit to friends
here. He was accompanied by his
sister, Mrs. J w. Simmons.
The cotton market lost its grip
yesterday and slipped down Is
POINTS. The better grades easily
brought 7 IL cents, while fancy
article might have sold for little
more.
Mr.. WellsSBrown has purchased "a

Harris, and will shortly begin the
building of pretty residence soon.
The Americas furniture factory

This Is Your Town.

Why buy in Chicago if you
live in Americus?
Would you like to see this
a better town with more life, en-
terprise and business? Would
you like to see more work going
on here? And would you like
it better if you could walk into
Americus stores and find them
bigger and fresher and more
varied stocks of everything?
All this could be-if the bulk
of the money that goes to the
mail order concerns stayed here.
IF you don't believe it, look into
this matter and see how many
dollars leave Americas in one
month for the so-called bargains
that the mail-order people pic
ture in their catalogs. And then
imagine what that much money
spent here at home would add to
the town businessl
Of course, you have per
sonal right to buy where you
please You don't have to buy
It home. You are a free man
in free country. All of which
is true, in a sense. But it is
equally true that we are mutually
dependent one upon another.
That which may be legal, per
Sc, may not be necessarily ex-
pedient. 1t may be within your
right, but at the same time not
be for the best interest of all
concerned, yourself included in
the number.
When the Playground or
Chamber of Commerce needs
funds. does any one ever hear
of Sawbuck & Co, making a
contribution? They may can
vass the merchants in Americus
and get results, but the catalog
house wouldn't give them as
much barb wire as they could
eat.
The same way about our
churches and hospitals. Who
keeps them up? The Philama-
york Bargain House? Not so
you can tell it
And when you have some
thing to sell, do any of these
golden pheasants' buy it of
you?
You have a right to do as you
please, but adherence to the doc
trine of buy it at home" means
profit in the long run, not only
to the man you may buy from,
but to you.
We don't have to stand to-
gether and pull together if we
don t care to Nobody can make
US do it. But all the same it will
be a lot better for us if we do.
and we are bound to lose some
thing if we don't.
Let's all get the home town"
idea in our heads, and as long
as we live in Americus let's be
OF, for and by Americas.

BROADCASTERS

Radio broadcasting stations have
100 million dollars tied up in their
equipment and organizations. And
they have spent 80 million dollars
in the last two years sending out
programs. This is the latest trade
estimate.
In radio broadcasting there is a
big duplication of effort. Experts
believe the time is coming when
there will be only about six broad
casting stations-possibly just one
main station, with substations at
strategic points relaying the main
concert.
