Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts —“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead.”
BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 8, \919
THE TANK VISITS BLAKELY.
As a boost for the Victory Liberty
Loan and for the purpose of giving
the people of this section an oppor
tunity to see one of the monster
wfcr machines which helped to crush
Prussianism, one of the American
army tanks used in the world war
was brought to Blakely Monday and
demonstrated for the large crowd
who gathered here that day.
Preceding the demonstration of the
tank brief talks were made in behalf
of the Liberty Loan. Rev. N. T. Paf
ford, pastor of the Methodist church,
in a few well chosen words, paid
tribute to the American soldier boys
and then introduced Dr. C. O. Jones,
of Atlanta, Superintendent of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League, who
spoke briefly, but earnestly, for the
success of the loan. Following Dr.,
Jones, Mr. John H. Mock, of Albany,
Field Chairman of the Albany Zone,
made a final stirring appeal for Early
county to “go over the top” in the
Victory Loan Drive.
The tank then made its way out
to the Wade grove near the school
building and performed some interest
ing “stunts” while the crowd of inter
ested spectators followed closely be
hind in its tracks. Jumping ditches
was only a small job for the ma
chine, which was manned by Sergeant
Glass and Private Sutton. A tree
approximately 6 inches in diameter
bowed before the monster during its
performance. The two tank corps
men who were in charge of the ma
chine had served with the army in
France and apparently well under-’
stood its operation.
School was dismissed for the deiiU
onstration and quite a large number
came in from the surrounding coun
try to see the tank in operation.
Early county has not yet gone “ov
er the top” in the Victory Loan drive,
and it is hoped that the tank’s vis
it served to stir up more enthusiasm
for the last popular loan. Chairman
McDowell and his committees are
hard at work making every effort to
put Early county over again, and
have a strong final appeal in this is
sue of the News for every citizen to
do his or her part to make the loan
a success.

BOLL WEEVIL APPEARS.
Mr. O. E. Hall, of the ifock Hill
community, was showing to his
friends in the city Tuesday a speci
men of the 1919 boll weevil, which
has already made its appearance in
his field.
This is indeed early in the year
for the appearance of the boll wee
vil and is a pretty good indication of
a bumper weevil crop this year. Mr.
Hall brought a specmen of the pesky
creature along to convince his
friends that the weevil had actually
made its appearance.
UNDERWOOD AUTO CATTLE
GUARD TO BE TRIED OUT.
At the meeting of the county com
missione. s of Early county held Tues
day, authority was given to Mr. Ed
win H. Underwood, formerly of
Blakely, but now of Bainbridge, for
the installation of his invention, the
Underwood Auto Cattle Guard, on
any road in the county that he may
choose.
This device of Mr. Underwood’s
eliminates the gate for a motor ve
hicle and is developed from the old
principle of a railroad cattle guard,
applying this principle to the use of
an automobile. The gate for the
horse drawn vehicle will have to re
main where it. is, for this device will
not accommodate a horse any more
than it will a cow or a hog.
Biit, as everybody knows, about
70 per cent of the traffic of our roads
is in motor vehicles. The Underwood
auto cattle guard will go a long way
towards overcoming the drawback
that the stock law gates bring to the
traveling public, and it is felt that
if this device is used on all roads in
Early county upon whch stock law
gates are located, a great part of
the inconvenience of traveling will
be overcome.
The News congratulates Mr. Un
derwood and also the county commis
sioners that such progress is being
made for the convenience of the
public, and it is hoped that it will not
be long before all roads in this and
other counties will be equipped with
the Underwood invention.
