BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
GOD'S LOVE AND OURS—*“God
doth execute the judgment of the
fatherless and the widow, and lovetk
the stranger. Love ye therefeore the
stranger.” Deut, 10:18, 19.
b N ot i
1t is suggested by somebody that
the real puzzle for the marrieq man
nowadays is why every batchelor is
not a rich man,
Somebody asks whether Hardwick
f¢ supporting Senator George or Dick
Russell. We know that one. And for
the same reasons that he now will
Liave the opportunity to support Dick
Russell he isn’t up there representing
Georgia himself in the senate,
3 OUGHT TO RESIGN
Editor “Jeems” Willlams of the
Greensboro Heralq has the following
observation to make with regard to
Holder and Russell:
*“John Holder ought to resign from
the highway department aml Dick
Russell ought to quit the supreme
court. Politicians ought to obey some
rule of honor and believe the people
are entitled to some consideration.”
Specially ought John Holder to re
ilfin his place as chairman of the
highway board, now that Tom IHard
wick has come out for him., Ie
doesn’t neeq the influence and politi
cal pull that his highway job gives
him. Tom Hardwick's support will be
enough. He ought to let the people
know that Tom Hardwick is support
ing him-—"agin” the world court and
the league of nations—and to hell—
dam—and starvation—all together,
Win? We should say John Holder
is bound to win with Tom Hardwick
directing the noise,
Because Tom Hardwick is ““agin”
bonds, John Holder ought to be—and
i, But they are slow in this. Hold
er has advocated a large issue of
bonds for paving the highways in
Georgia since he was appointed by
Hardwick to the place he now holds—
and so far as we know, Hardwick
didn’t curry him—didn't say “nuth
in” to him about it, Now the whole
gtate is so nearly against a great pave
ing bond issue—some of them against
bonds because John Holder is al
ready wasting enough of the tax-pay
er's money and getting too little of
paving results=——now the whole state
is against paving bonds, so set against
them that no candidate can raise an
issue. Of course, it will be safe for
John Holder to oppose bonds. See
where that part of it is wise. We are
“agin” them, too, all of us.
* WHY NOT BY SAVANNAH?
" The first carload of peaches
was shipped from Macon to Eu
rope by the way of New York.
Why not by the way of Savan
nah?—Savannah Press,
Because big business has set the
American system to head into New
York, The American international
banker furnishes the money for such
business, He wants the peaches to
come by New York so he can inspect
his collateral holdings. We do not
know that we are all-wise, but Savan.
nah ought to bring down some very
large international banking houses.
That would set things going.
COURAGE OF OUR "SEAMEN
Not many people who read the
bare fact that the submarine, 8-51,
had been reclaimed from the seas
have any idea of the hazardous task
encountercd by American seamen and
divers who accomplished that work.
But this thing adds lustre to an al
ready shining recorq of the past for
American seamen, We remember
how fdst they forced the German sub
warines out of the sea lanes with
their depth bombg at a time when
American soldiers were the long
sought prize of the enemy submarines
as they went over on the transporis,
American seamen were the first to
<trike terror to the German daring on
the high scas,
This is a different courage-—hut
courage all the same. An excellent
gtory of it is told in the New York
}Wuxld, from which we quote:
In the raising of the 851 four pon
toons were sunk on each side of the
cunken craft and connected by two
and a half inch anchor chains doubled
which will act ag lifting slings. These
eight pontoons, when hlown empty by
compressed air have a total lifting
power of 640 tons, which with the
pouyancy added by blowing out ship
compartments already sealed by the
naval salvage party, afforded the
bouyancy necessary to bring the ves
acl to the surface, 31 by
When operations reached the p‘Mpt
where the pontoons were to he sunk
and placed in position, a real problam
confronteq the naval salvage party.
Pentoond have never been used before
in the open sea or in deep water,
and, when these pontoons each weigh
ing forty tons, were flooded and ready
to sink, the salvage party was faced
with the proposition of lowering a
forty-ton weight to a depth of 130
feet, and landing it alongside the sub
marine without dropping it on the
hull of the ship.
Haq one of these forty-ton weights
bhroken loose on the way down and
landed on the shell-like hull, further
salvage operations would have been
tremendously hampered,
A long series of experiments were
conducted in both shallow and deep
water to develop a satisfactory tech
nique and the proper equipment for
thig delicate step in the operations,
similar pontoons have previously only
been used in shallow water, in one
case by the salvage party raising the
submarine -4, sunk in forty-six feet
in another, by the salvagers of the
of water, off Honolulu in 1915, and
exGerman U-111, in forty-nine‘ feet of
water, off Chesapeake Capes in 1921,
After many tests, a special twelve
inch manila hawser was made at the
ropewalk in the Boston Navy Yard,
as no smaller hawser would stand
the weight, and no hawsers larger
than ten inches were available any
where, The sides of the rescue ship,
U, 8. 8. Faleon, were re@losigned, with
cxtra chocks and bitts for lowering,
and after four rehearsals in deep
water, the first pontoon was success
fully lowered,
Due to the precautions taken, the
romaining seven pontoons were lower
«d and secured alongside, each within
a foot or two of the dintended loca
tions, !
An exceedingly’ diffichlt task, bring
ing forth heroie, efforts !pn the., part.
of the divers, *ns acc&#npllahml in
placing the eighty-ton lsfilng power
of each pontoon to the fubmarine. it
Was necessary to pass a pairof two
ind one-half inch anchor chaing nuder
the ship for each pair of pontoons.
Lach anchor chain weighed about
three tons. To get the chain under
the amidships section of the ship
where the S-51 was buried in hard
cand and clay, required the salvage
party to dig two tunnels under the
fubmarine, The only means avail
able was to wash through, using fire
lioses to cut away the clay and sand.
The divers had to work in utter
hlackness in a long, narrow tunnel.
The heavy sand washeq out from in
‘ront of them settled in the rear and
closed up their exit. On two ocea
vions divers had the tunnel cave in
behind them and cut off their only
means of escape,
Each time the diver kept his head,
managed to reverse his hose, and
wash his way backward to the out
side. Not only this, but on each oc
casion the man turned around, went
back, into the tunnel, and continued
working ahead. Lieut. Commander
Edward Ellsherg, naval constructor,
supervising the technical salvage op
erations, in speaking of these in
itances, says:
“lI cannot praise too highly the
brand of courage that it takes after
vou find yourself buried alive in a
hlack hole twenty feet under the sub
marine, 130 feet from the surface in
iey cold water— temperature about
39 degrees Fahrenheit—to dig your
self out then deliberately crawl back
into what might well have been your
erave and keep on digging yourself
deeper in. Two enlisted men in the
navy have done that on this job, and
it is far and away a braver thing in
my estimation than many deeds which
men perform in the heat of action
against the enemy,”
THE HICKS HOUSE BAR
Bill Biffem advises in his Savannah
Press that we should read the follow
ing and cheer:
“Hargrave seems determined to sup
ply his people with the very best in
his line of business, Ie keeps at his
handsomely furnished bar the very
best line of liguors and wineg that can
be bhought angd sells at the lowest
prices, Besides his Baltimore Club,
Jefferson and Old Crow whiskies he
has just received another celebrated
brand—Old Hermitage rye wii . ivy,
He also keeps fine brands of win. s,
Perhaps there is no town in (i«
state the size of Cartersville that l:
a finer bar than the one at the Ilicks
House owned by IH. 8. Hargrave, If
men will drink (and we think some
of 'em do) we recommend them to
g 0 to see Hargrave if they wish spme
thing fancy ang nice.”
Then we should read the following
and—and—weep:
“The ahove is a reprint of a read
er that appeared in the Cartersville
Express| 60 years ago. We guess
Editor Plectwood, of the Tribune, re

GECRGIA SENATORS AND FARM
¢ RELIEF
Savannah Press: ,
The Washingion correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph said that be--
fore leaving Washingtop, both Geor
gia Scnators expressed regret that
come suitable farm legislative wasg
not pasced by Congres:. Both Sena
tors suppoyted the Robinson bill
which was introduced by the Demo
eratic lecader, after consulting with
lcading renate democrats, This meas
ure provided an appropriation of
$200,000,000 for marketing of all
farm products, including tobacco‘
and peanuts. The Robinson bill had‘
the suppert of a large majority of
the democrats in the senate and Scnn‘
tor George expressed the view that
the bill would have been promptly ac-‘
cepted by the house if the demo-‘
crats in the senate coul have succoed-‘
cd in passing it, and that its passage
would have brought immediate and
material relief to the farmers.
After the defeat of the measure
the senators supported the Fess bill,
aithough they believed the amount
carried in that measure for the‘
marketing of farm produects to be en
tirely inadequate. The Fess measure
proposed an appropriation of $lOO,-
000,000. 1
Senator Harris asserted Satur
y that the M‘_cNf@ry-Ham}.m
bill would hnvc‘ra‘ise‘d the price:.

Do You Remember?
—When automobiles were called horseless carriages?—When
you bought your top and windshield and oil lamps as extra
equipment?—When passengers climbed into the tonneau fr‘om
the rear?—When it was something to brag about to drive 25
miles without a tire change?—When you got most of your
mileage out of boots and patches? Those may have been 'the
“good old days” but who would want to go back to them. Tires
have more than kept pace with automobiles in the development
of durability and dependability. With ‘it all tire prices have
gone down and down. Tire mileages are three times what they
were in 1912. And just a few years ago you paid two and
three times as much for your tires as you will pay today. To
day | can sell you tires at a price that just a few years ago
couldn’t be thought of—a set of long-lived, safe, dependable and
wonderfully comfortable Goodyean Balloons. For real tire econo
my, let me quote you on your size. And if there is any mileage
ldt_ m your old tires I'll trade them in.
