Mars

Friday morning, August y,
the planet Mars will be nearer
the earth than it has been in two
hundred years. If you will look
out in the southeastern skies you
will easily locate Mars, for it is
only thirty-four million six hun
bred thousand miles away.
For a generation scientists and
astronomers have declared that
Mars is inhabited. Some have
gone so far as to picture the
"Marsman" as being with large
head and small body-a sort of
experimental being.
Maybe the day will come
when through wireless teleg-
raphy or some other means We
shall communicate with this
great planet. Some of the mys-
teries of the ages will then be
explained or intensified.

Genial Tom Hudson whom every
body knows has laid aside his sena-
torial toga and is again weighing
cotton at Councils warehouse.
Mr.. Lee C. Childers and family
removed from the city yesterday to
occupy their new and very desir
able home in Lee. near Smithvillc.
Ten and half cents was paid for
cotton in Americas yesterday, the
highest price by far that was paid
any interior market in Georgia. Up
to last night, Americas warehouses
have received four hundred bales
cotton Of the new crop the heaviest
receipts ever known by August 20.
Receipts yesterday alone were 232
bales. The largest single load Of
cotton brought to Americas this
season came from "Moonshire
Farm" the handsome country place
Of Col. Crawford Wheatley. The
nine bales weighing 4,500 lbs. We're
stacked upon a handsoms new
wagon pulled by 81 Spanking team
of 4 mules, worth $1,000 of any
bodys money.

Obey the Traffic Laws

Entirely too many children
are driving automobiles in this
country-and Americas is in
Guided. The State law prohibits
any one under the age of 10 to
drive a car.
Occasionally youngsters so
small they can't see over the
steering wheel, are observed
driving high-powered car. This
is dangerous and should not be
permitted by parent or police,
and the time to stop it is before
some one is killed.
A little child opened a door
on the third story of an apart
ment house-and walked out.
She was picked up on the brick
pavement by distracted parents.
They then NAILED up the door,
but it was too late. The little.
one had departed.
You may be willing for
YOUR child to take chance,
but in allowing youngster to
drive a high-powered car you
are endangering the lives of 9TH
ers-many others.
Our traffic laws should be
rigidly enforced. There's too
much speeding. There's too
much careless driving by auto
mobiles filled with irresponsible
youngsters who have one hand
on the steering wheel, both feet
on the gas and their eyes every
where but to the front.
The life of the babe is worth
more than anything else on
earth. If you don't agree with
that statement, then try to place
a value on that curIy-headed
miss who climbs onto your lap
in the evening, saying, Daddy,
tell me story"
We should obey ALL the
traffic laws.

THE "MADOO OR BUST ,
DIE-HARDS.

1t has been party law, since
the democratic party has been an
organized institution, for the ma
tional candidate to select his own
committee chairman, and for ohc
committee chairman in turn t.
designate his aides and lieuten-
ants.
At the democratic convention
in New York the rule was adopt
ed that the national committee
should consist of certain officials,
among them the three vice chair
men.
Glen L. Shaver, the candi
dates selection for chairman,
presided at the first meeting of
the committee at Clarksburg and
the subcommittee designations
of the nominations of Mrs. Emily
Newell Blair, of Missouri; Frank
L. Hague, of New Jersey, and
Samuel Amidon, of Kansas, as
vice chairmen, evidently were
made with his approval.
Some of the McAdoo group in
the committee, failing to have j.
Bruce Kremer, of Montana, Mr..
McAdoo's floor leader at the
New York convention, named as
one of the three vice chairmen,
then attempted to add a fourth
vice chairman to specifically pro-
vide for him. A point of order
was made against this, the chair
man sustaining the point, and
the McAdoo group then went so
far as to appeal from the de-
cision-an affront to the new
chairman heretofore unheard Of
in party history.
The chairman was sustained,
but the "McAdoo or bust" fol
lowers in the committeeman
and women alike - voted to
override the decision, and thus
not only show a McAdoo con
troll of the committee, but re-
Duke the chairman.
The incident was most unfor-
tunate, wholly uncalled for, i'll
advised and ill tinted.
Mr.. McAdoo was defeated IN
a convention of unparalleled de-
liberation and his advocates in
the committee, who should have
put party solidarity and harmony
above everything, ought to have
lad oetteF Judgment.
The interest Of the demo-
cratic party ought 10 be great
er than personal ambitions, and
certainly should overshalow pet
ty, personal chickering's and ani-
mosities and schemes of CON
trol."-Atlanta Constitution.

cal advantages. I have discover
ed that a hatless man may enter
with impunity many places where
he would otherwise be stopped.
Hatless, one can sometimes stroll
into the front door of theater
without ticket and without
question. When / wish to visit
a committee room in the National
Capitol l first leave my hat and
coat elsewhere. Even the private
lobby back of the United States
Senate is easy of access to him
who carries no headgear.
If in a hurry to catch a train
I simply remove my hat and the
gateman never bothers about
looking at my ticket. He doesn't
necessarily think Pm proprietor
of the railroad, but he probably
does assume that I'm an employee,
else why should l have hung up
my hat?
At times, though, the penalties
of hatlessness are unexpected
Just recently I wished to see a
man in New York and called at
his apartment house intending to
telephone up to him from the

The Worth of a
Newspaper

There is no class of proper
ty on which it is so difficult to
fix its worth as that of daily
newspaper--large or small.
There are as many methods Of
figuring worth as there are sell
ers and buyers.
But what is the real value Of
newspaper, asks the Column
bus Enquirer-Sun, and attempts
to answer its question by reciting
the following history of certain
newspaper sales:
The recent sale of the Rous-
ton Post for $1,150,000.0O, al
though its tangible assets were
less than half the price paid, has
revived the discussion as to the
Importance of goodwill in
newspaper.
1t is recalled that Frank Mum
sey paid $4,000,000.00 for the
New York Herald. Along with
the Herald he obtained the Eve
ming Telegram and the Paris Her
aid. Yet the tangible assets were
less than $500,000.0O and the
New York Herald was losing
money. However, as is not gen
orally known Munsey received
along with the Paris Herald s.
100000 francs in French bonds.
At that time this sum was equiva-
lent to $600,000.00.
There was much comment on
the prodigality Of Mr.. Munsey,
and many thought he had paid
too much, by far, for the Herald,
Telegram and Paris Herald. But
what happened later upset the
views Of Munsey's critics - he
sold the New York Tribune for
$5,000,000.00, and with it went
not one penny's worth Of tangi-
Bile assets. AS Munsey had TAX
en- over the 100000 francs he
found in the treasury Of the Par
is Herald, the actual Price he paid
for the n. Y. Herald was reduced
to $3,400,000.0O, so he made a
profit Of Sl,6OO COCO on the

FIRSI-BORN

First-born child Of American
parents is usually the poorest speci-
men and the fourth or eighth child
is apt to be nearest perfection. This
is claimed by DR.. Caroline Hedger
Of Chichago, who special.zes on the
subject.
This cannot be true en- the law
of averages, for the very simple
reason that the average family
doesn't have four children, let alone
eight. Maybe it's usually true Of
large families where laws of he
redity have more play than where
reproduction is less prolific. The
trouble is not in order of birth,
but in training. The first-born is
apt to be spoiled" by pampering,
