Jones a rep resentative of the Anti-Saloon League, delivered a splendid lecture at the court house on prohibition. He showed the beginning of this organization, what persistent opposition it has met at every point and the wonderful achievements it has brought about with the aid of similar bodies. Of the forty eight states all but three have voted for an amendment to the national con stitution prohibiting the making and sale of liquors. He declared that the great work now is to enforce the law. That the liquor interests and those who insist on having it will use every effort and spend millions of money to obstruct and hinder the law. Dr. Jones is an able and eloquent speaker and we wish every man, wo man and child in the eountty could have heard him. and made the very best use of every opportunity. No teacher ever had a better and more dutiful pupil. I learn ed early to love and respect him and we were good and constant friends fox the forty-three veears that followed. No one was prouder of his success and achievements in life than T. It is a source of greati ploasure that I can write these true amV affectionate words.

Narrol tell us that many are mailing to him incomplete tnsf re turns; some with little information; some not signed and others with no date that can be understood. He says that no returns will he received ex cept when made personally and making a full and complete return SPLENDID CITIZEN AND FRIEND HAS PASSED AWAY ENTIRE COUNTY MOURNS DEATH OF WM. J. WREN WHICH OC CURRED SATURDAY When the news passed over the county Saturday morning stating that Mr. W. J. Wren was dead, all were surprised and grieved. No one had heard he was sick, and he was not, and his very sudden and unexpected death came as a shock out of a clear sky. lie was in his sixty-first year and was the last survivor of a family of several children. The last days of his life were as full of activity and energy as any he ever spent and when he re tired the last night he seemed in usual health. The noise of heavy breathing awoke loved ones, but he quickly pass ed away without uttering a word of tender farewell. Mr. Wren lead a most active life and was connected with so many enterpris es that touched a very large number of the people of the county all knew him personally or had heard of him. For many years he was the leading mer chant of the upper part of the county. All remember the firm of Wren and Phillips. Theirs was the first store in Wrens. And they gave every patron the fairest and squarest treatment. The bank, the oil mill, the ginnery, the big flour mills and every other enterprise had his strong, wise and energetic sup port. In fact we would not be ex travagant in saying he was the founder and builder of that growing and pros perous town that bears his name. Te church bad no stronger support, and his influence was always for righteous ness, temperance and good citizenship. He was a loyal and staunch supporter of the Presbyterian church, of which he was always the leading member and helper. His influence was always for the right. No one ever doubted how he stood on moral issues. lie always spoke, worked and prayed for right and justice. Mr. Wren held several offices of pub lic trust. He served as state senator, was a member of the board of roads and revenues, was a member of the board of education, often foreman of the jury and held office in his town many years. In fact for many years he was one of the leading spirits of our county and he was the foremost citizen of his town during all of its history. In his death the county loses one of its best and most influential men; his town its founder and foremost citizen and his church a devoted am most helpful member. His home life was tender and beaut ; fill, and all who entered his home wer charmed with the love that centered ii every word and act. It could not b< otherwise, for it was a Christian home He leaves a wife and three sons, Alo> Lamar and Will, to mourn the loss of : devoted husband and father. All sym pathize with them in their sad afflie tion. The religious exercises were con ducted by Revs. Paul Pressly, D. G. Phillips, D. D., of Chester, S. C., Re\ IT. B. Blakeley of Anderson, S. C. They paid high tribute to the Chris tian virtues of the deceased. Judge W. L. Phillips, a life-long and most intimate friend, spoke most eloquently and tenderly of the departed friend. The attendance was the largest we ever saw in the county, and all dis played a. tender and sympathetic in terest in the occasion. One touching incident was the large number of col ored friends who attended. Many and beautiful flowers were emblematic of his good and helpful life.

Gaster Gifts The very pleasant Easter cus tom of sending Easter cards to our friends or* of making them simple and inexpensive gifts is a good one, provided we do not carry it to an extreme. The springtime is a busy season when every one is weeding out one’s possessions rather than seeking to add to them; hence numerous large gifts would prove a burden to the recipient. Eggs have always been associ ated with the day as symbolic of the resurrection. Bonbon nieres of this shape or candy eggs are always popular. Flowers and growing plants are especially appropriate to the day, Easter lilies being al ways in demand. A corsage bouquet of violets or of lilies of the valley is a pretty gift to a girl. The man who makes it must be careful to have it sent to the house of the girl in time for her to wear to church on Easter morning. Neckties or scarfs are suitable gifts to make to a man who is a rela tive or friend, provided one knows his tastes. Florence Howe Hall in Chicago News. LOUISVILLE, GA. THURSDAY.

Everything moved along well until someone arrived with some blind tiger liquor and began to sell it. That stuff can soon change peace to turmoil and shooting. A good many shots were tired, and James Mitchell received a bad wound in the hip. He is now in the hospital in Sandersville. AlJie Morris is charged with the shoot ing, and Nolace Morris is also charged with shooting at Mitchell. A warrant was issued against Julian Atkinson, charging him with selling liquor on that occasion. A CORRECTION. Last week we stated that the col lection of the Road Tax begins April 15th and must lie completed by June 4th. We should have stated that those* who collected the tax must make their settlement with the Board of Roads and Revenues by June 4th. So it will be seen that payments must lx* paid before June 4th and those failing to do so will be defaulters. It will be well for all to call upon the collector of his district promptly.

While in the employ of Neely & Com pany at Midville lie suffered a severe attack of influenza from which he never could recover. Me went to Ashe ville, N.

PLENTY OF ICE. I am now ready to supply the public with pure ice in any quantity-_ If you want a ton or a dime’s worth see me. M. J. West, Wadley, Ga. TRADE WITH MERCHANTS DF COUNTY IS SLOGAN NO NEED OF RUSHING TO THE CITIES WHEN YOU WANT BEST GRADE OF GOODS We have never understood why some people in our county go to Augusta and Macon or other places to do shopping when there 'are so many up-to-thel niinute business houses in their own county conducted by their friends and neighbors. With a large number of wide awake merchants in our county and carrying everything in stock for the comfort of the human body as well as pleas ing to the taste and sight of the most fastidious woman or the most critical and discriminating man impels us to repeat that we do not understand why people should go elsewhere to trade. We know that for vears the German business houses carr. u a business propaganda, and by ay, it was so thoroughly successful that up to 1014 when the world war broke out, the most of us felt that no article of merchandise was genuine, or to say the least of it was not the best of its kind unless it had stamped on it the words: “Made In Germany,” and American made goods that were better in texture, fabric and workmanship were left on the shelves. The mer chandise of Jefferson county is the equal in fineness and quality of that of Augus ta and Macon, if not in quantity, and buyers sometime get goods for more money and of less value and worth from those places than they could get from the home merchant. After more or less thought on the matter we have come to the conclusion that the reason is sired by a lingering j sentiment of “Made in Germany” and damned by an inflated ego, a feeling that the article from abroad is the best. The same people who feel that the merchants of our county are not as progressive, live and wide awake as merchants of other counties would feel that our merchants were unpatriotic, and devoid of county pride if they re fused to patronize them in their profes sions and lines of business and went elsewhere for service. We think Jefferson county and her business houses are good enough for anybody, and when we change that op inion we think it will be time to look for anew pasture and we will. In the death of Mr. J. Walter Sta pleton our county loses one of its best and most prominent citizens. He was of a jovial and Ir-npv disposition, and had many warm friends in all parts of the county.

WHO REVOL TED IN 1899, HAS FINALLY BEEN ELIMINATED Mexico City, Thursday, April 11. (By the Associated Pn ss.)— Gm. Eml liano Zapata, the rebel P ader in Sou them Mexico, has been killed by government troops according to an an nouncement made by the Mexican government tonight. The anouncenient confirmed an earlier newspaper report of Zapata’s death from Cautla in the state of Morelos. The message says that a part of the fiOth Regiment serving under Gen. Pab lo Gonzalez of the Carranza army r turned to Cuatla, General Gonzalez's headquarters, tonight with the body of the dead rebel chief. Later the Mexican government p coived an offieiel bulletin confirming the press report of Zapata’s death. End Accompanied by Strategy Advices from Morelos say that the death of Zapata was brought about by strategy Zapata with his followers had been hiding in an inaccessible mountain region since the government troops had pacified the state of More los, which had been the stronghold of Zapata since he began liis revolt in 1909. The rebel chief is said to have been killed in an unnamed part of the moun tains of southern Morelos by troops un der command of Colonel Guajardo. The War Department has promoted the colonel to a generalship for his feat. At the height of his power several years ago General Zapata figured as the possible head of the Mexican govern ment. At three different times during the last ten years his followers were in control of Mexico City for brief periods. MONEY MAKING SUPPERS. Several schools in the 76th and 78th ' Districts have experimented lately! with oyster suppers and they found them paying investments. At Staple ton’s Cross Roads forty dollars was j taken in. At Cason’s school $75,00.' At Ebenezer SIOB.OO. At Hickory Flat $183.00. At the last named place the <*ako brought in $150.50. Two young ladies were voted for, and the boys spent all the money in their pockets and all they could borrow. We hope the boll weevil will be light on their cotton, and they will be able to bid strongly at another school supper next fall. Mr. J. T. Fleming bought and ate the $150.00 cake and has been looking pale and much overfed since. Tf lie had been generous and divided with his friends who get little cake to eat it would have been better for his constitution. Mr. B. S. Giles of Atlanta visited friends in Louisville Friday. $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE NOT II VIOLATION DF ANTI-TRUST LAW COTTON GROWERS IMMUNE. AT TORNEY TODD STUDYING SUG GESTION OF GOV. ALLEN Washington, D. C.. April 1! \'.> >f fieial statement can at this time be ob tained from the Department of Justice to indicate what will be h- reply to the request of Gov. Alien of Kansas for the prosecution under the anti-trust law of Southern cotton growers who are combining to reduce acreage. The Allen communication with sev eral others of a similar sort, has been referred to Acting Assistant Yttornev General (1. Carroll Todd, who lias 1 in charge of anti trust matters for the department for some years. Mr. Todd is now considering the subject and will soon give his conclusions to Attorney General Palmer. Unofficial expressions of opinion lion* by those familiar with tin* anti-trust law is that the legal unassailability of those who undertake to ro<lu-o gotten acreage is rendered absolute by that provision of the statute which dedans that no part of the annual appropria tion for its administration “shall be expended for the prosecution of produ cers of farm products and associations of farmers who co-operate and organize in an effort to and for the purpose of obtaining, and maintaining a fair and reasonable price for their products.’* PILOT AUTOMOBILES.
