sideration when the House ways and
means committee meets September 15.
While the tax experts have only

with some defniteness the revenue
producing powers of the present

ministratiVe features of the law, and

SHIRLEY SERMON
SUNDAY HEARD
BY GOOD CROWD
The Religion of a Continuous
Battle" Was Subject of Cen
trail Baptist Pastor

The Religion of Continuous Bat
t!e' was the subject of the morning
sermon at the Central Baptist Church
delivered by Rev Hoke H. Shirley,
PASTOR ssMNi
His scripture reading for the
morning was the 10th chapter of St.
Matthew, the Both through the 10th
verses.
AS feature for the morning ser
vice, an anthem was rendered by
Miss Louise Thayer, Miss Matte Nc
Neil, Mrs. Cliff Carswell and George
Marshall.
Opening his subject Rev. Shirley
said, "a religion not used daily will
rust, just the same as anything else."
He stressed the necessity of relig-
ion being used every day and said
that if we did not struggle or work
for a thing we did not appreciate it.
He then discussed the struggles
that Christ had when He was on
earth, how that from the time He
was twelve years old until the time
that He was crusified by his enemies,
His life was one struggle after an
other. He also mentioned the strug-
gle that Christ had in the wilderness,
how the devil used his every power
in an effort to make Christ sin,
speaking of the devil as bringing out
his shock troops to tempt Christ.
During his sermon he also men
toned the fact that a person who
did not work soon became soft and
flabby and very weak. Also that
those who did not work and have
struggles in life were soon forgotten
while the man who had to work hard
and who had confronted many strug-
giles during his life was long remem-
bered by his people.
A number of visitors from the
Methodist Churches were present
and in the opening of his sermon the
pastor spoke a special word of vel
come to them.
N0N oHlIleS announced tnaL next
Sunday December 6 was Golden
Rule Sunday" and that the different
hurches would be asked to observe
it with special messages and by max
ing it a day of fasting or reducing
the amount of food used, the cost of
he difference to be given to spe-
ial collection that would be made
or the Near East Relief work.

O'Clock Sunday night accompanied
by Perry. Both were drinking.
Green picked out small negro girl

bunch. Witnesses testified that
Green reached into his coat and
brought fourth an army As Colts,
which had all chambers loaded. With
this he knocked over two or more
negroes and general fight ensued.
One negro testified that he was

EVOLUTION IN
MUSIC ALSO
Heart Songs Are On Hand al
Tnmes-Recorder Office for
Those Desiring Them

There was time not so long ago
when certain type of music was
called modern rag time. Modernity
in this time of the worlds rapid ac-
ton has come to have almost sup
CRITICAL meaning akin to the ION ce
moment" of the French.
Thirty years at the outside would
cover the period wherein ragtin:e
has been 80 known. During this time
nearly all principles have under
gone changes, and radical reforms
came about. MUSE has not escaped
but whether or not the form of pop
ular music is evidence of the worlds
evolution will be left for posterity to
decide. All that we know is that our
so-called popular music has gone
through the rag and the jazz stage
and at present the tendency Of writ
ers is to go back for their motives
to old familiar airs. Taking well
loved refrain and everything it with
all the colorful mosaic Of their fertile
imagination, and thus the songs of
long ago appear in the brilliant cur
rent successes of Irving Berlin and
his confreres.
In more than four hundred songs
which comprise Heart Songs" will
be found cornerstones of much up TO
date music building.
This and more musical infosna-
ton is contained in the volume now
being offered to The Times-Recor-
der readers as explained in another
column of this issue.

FLU EPIDEMIC IS
FEARED BY LOCAL
HEALTH OFFICER
DIR. Chambliss States That We
Now Have More Than 100
Cases in Sumter County

There are at least 100 cases Of
influenza and more than ten cases Of
pneumonia and Sumter county and
Americas today" was the statement
of DR.. j. w. Chambliss, commissioner
health of Sumter county.
We have tried to caution our
people and have them to take the flu
serum but the majority of them re-
fuse to take any precautions. Since
the last warning was issued we have
given the serum to 1876 where we
should have given it to 5000" DR..
Chambliss added.
He states that the health DEPART
ment makes no charge for administer
ing the serum, and that the drug
stores have a stock on hand. The
cost is said to be SIPS for the serum.
and with no charge for the admin
isterlng of it, many are expected to
take advantage of the opportunity of
becoming immune from the dreaded
flu. When questioned concerning
the effectiveness of the serum, DR..
Chambliss replied that in 90 per cent
of the cases it was effective and that
it was effective for a period of about
six months.
Il advise every resident of Sumter
county and of Americus to
take this serum at once. am anx-
ious that they do this in order that
we might get rid of flu here or at
least avoid an epidemic of the dread
disease" was his final statement.
This large number of flu cases is
not alarming as there seems to be a
statewide epidemic at this time, as
reports from over the state show a
large number of flu cases.

SAYS
PREPARE TO
MEET THY GOD
Delivers Strong Appeal to the
Congregation at First Baptist
Last Night
By r. H. RENER

In one of the strongest appeals we
have ever heard, Rev. Joe Nj. Branch,
pastor of the First Baptist church,
last night pleaded with his congrcga-
ton to Prepare to meet their God"
Using as his subject, prepare to
Meet Thy God" with his text taken
from the last clause of the 18th verse
of the fourth chapter of Amos, Rev.
Branch urged upon the people hear
ing him, to prepare to meet their God
by accepting Jesus Christ.
He said in his sermon that if a per
son should ask what they should do.
Christ would answer to them "pre-
pare to meet thy God"
"The Bible gives several reasons
why We should prepare to meet God,
how we should prepare and when we
should prepare. From Genesis to Rev
Citations we are given these reasons"
were added remarks of the First Bap-
fist pastor. Then he gave some OF
the reasons why person should pre-
pare, saying that "a persons lost con-
dition demanded that they prepare,
that man without Jesus Christ is
lost, and that when they prepare TO
meet their God they must accept
Christ as their savior"
Preceding his sermon, the pastor
presented the Banner, recently award
ed to the Junior B. Y. P. u, the
Junior Union of that church having
had the best one during the past
year. This Banner was awarded
during the recent Southwest Region
B. Y. P. u. convention held at Cor
dele In addition to the sermon and
the presentation exercises, the choir
of the church rendered special music
for the day. n
