er of Eastern Brigade.
i
Gen. W. S. Jones, of Louisville, I
attended the veterans’ reunion in
Rome, Ga., last year and was re
elected commander of the eastern

held and many matters discussed.
Confederate veterans of Georgia j
want Generals W. H. T. Walker and
James B. Longstreet honored in the
Stone Mountain memorial along with
the other heroes of the Confeder

A resolution to this effect was
adopted at the last business ses
sion of the thirty-first reunion.
At the same session a resolution
declining the proposition that state
add national reunions shall in the
future be held at one and the same
time, sentiment that the state re
union should be continued as in the
past was overwhelming.
That the use of the term Civil
War should be abandoned for that
of the War Between the States was
the sense of another resolution
adopted at this same meeting.
Officers of all five Georgia divi
sions were re-elected as was Com
tHander A. J. Twiggs.
Anew office was created, honor
ary commander, and Gen. J. A
yrhomas, of Dublin, was elected to
Akhc office for life. The officers re
elected are: Southern brigade, B. B.
Morgan, of Savannah; Northern bri
gade, Geo. W. Wells, of Atlanta;
[eastern brigade, W. S- Jones, of
Louisville; western brigade, Joe Day
Stewart, of Americus. Bridges
Smith, Macon, adjutant general and
chief of staff, hold office for life
and so did not come up for re
election.
The matter of the next meeting
place was left to the officers and
decision in this matter will be made
later.
The final day’s session of the re
union, as full as was the opening
day, was featured by the parade

HEAVY ROLL OF COTTON
. BROUGHT TO AIKEN, S. C.
Cotton Row Enlivened for
Past Week.
Aiken, S. C., Sept. 17.—Cotton row
in Aiken has been enlivened for the
past week by the heavy roll of cot
ton being brought to market. Thus
far about 1.500 bales have been sold
here out of the county s listed 24,-
000 bales. Business men have been
elated over the splendid showing
made in their cash receipts; some of
them state that debts due for the
past three years have been fully paid
already this season. A number of
mortagages have been lifted** that
bore interest for ovet* three years,
and a sign of encouraging prosperity
prevails over the whole section.
Every wheel in Horsecreek Valley’s
mills are turning at full speed, ami
at Langley Mill, where the plant was
shut down during the summer, there
are night shifts busy in the card
ing room and the spinning room.
One drawback met by the farmer
is the scarcity of cotton pickers, and
a number of large trucks convey
hands from the city each morning
out in to the rural districts, return
ing at night with the workers who
are getting as high as 81 per hund
red pounds in many places.
Warrants have been sworn out for
Haywood Dychcs and John Black
wel before Magistrate Baker at Lang
oy, charging vioation of the prohibi
tion law. The affidavit was made
by Essie Stringfield. a young white
woman of the Bath section, who was
arrested by Deputies Bobinson and
Shcppherd last Saturday night, when
residents of the Bath neighborhood
telephoned the Sheriff’s office in
i complaint of two white men and a
woman creating a disturbance.
Search was made for Dyches and
Blackwell today by officers, but it
was reported that they had left the
state. The young woman stated that
she had been given whiskey in a
soft drink by the men. and showed
the officers where to locate the whis
key. Twelve flasks were found hid
den in the woods near Bath, and
brought to Aiken as evidence against
the men.
P. T. A. NOTES
The regular monthly meeting of
jP. T. A. was held at the school au
ditorium Thursday afternoon, Sept.
13th at four o'clock.
This initial meeting of the year
was marked by a good attendance.
Mr. .1. H. Park, the superintendent
outlined the requirements of pupils
regarding attendance, reports punct
uality etc. Mrs. J. C. Ramsey gave
school notes.
The different committees gave in
teresting reports of their work.
The president appointed standing
committees for the year, the program
chairman read the year's program,
and the secretary read minutes of
executive board meeting held during
the summer.
At the October meeting there will
be a kitchen shower given for the
benefit of domestic science room.
The Spirit of the Work.
Among the many thousand workers
in the National Congress of Mothers
and Parent-Teacher Associations
there has prevailed to a wonderful
degree a spirit of unselfish service.
The preservation of this spirit is a
sacred obligation resting upon each
member and reaching from the high
est to the humblest. Where office is
looked upon not as an honor to be
conferred hut as an opportunity to
serve, it will never he sought by the
unworthily ambitious nor competed
for in strife and envy. There should
be no competition for office in any
branch or circle of the congress, nor
should elections be made hv matter
of moment. Red tape and complex
parliamentary practice should he eli
minated so far as consistent with
proper transaction of the very sim
ple business necessary in conducting
the meetings. The importance of tlu*
work rather than the dignity of of
fice should occupy the minds of tlu*
members. It is a work that calls for
simplicity. directness, unselfishness
and devotion; a work of giving, not
getting; a work to be carried on in
the harmony of a united effort to
serve childhood.
Message to Presidents of Local As
sociations.
The real work of the National Con
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher
Associations in.reaching all homes
and enlisting parents and teachers
in the vital objects of this national
movement rests on the President of
the local organization. To do this
effectively, every local President
should he in communication with the
President of the State Branch, with
the National Office, and with Nation
al President. She should have Na
tional and State Year Books and
Child-Welfare Magazines.
She should study the different
phases of the work, appointing with
discretion the chairman of depart
ments; shoufd keep before the mem
bers the broad purpose of the na
tional; the privilege of participating
in making better opportunities for
the welfare of children; the fact that
better mothers arc the first requi
site for better children; that study
of child nurture makes better moth
ers; that united effort has already
secured great benefits for mothers
and children; that each organization
has the responsibility of the nation
al work in its vicinity; that only as
each link in the chain fulfills its pur
pose can the vital purposes of the
National Congress of Mothers and
Parent-Teacher Associations be at
tained. Only as each local President
secures active, efficient chairmen for
each department and sends their
names to State Chairmen can he
chain be complete.
Success of national work for wel
fare of children and helps to moth
ers for cooperation with teachers,
depends on thorough, well-directed
work of each President of the local
organization in membership.

Blind Belgian
Begs No More;
Reward Comes
Brussels, Sept. -18.—The blind
man. wearing the ribbon of the
Cross of the Yser and the Order
of Leopold, who for some time
this summer stood on a busy
corner asking passersby for
alms, begs no more.
One day a tall light-haired
man with a pronounced stoop
of the shoulders and mild blue
eyes that hid behind black lids,
stopped to chat with the beggar.
“Where were you wounded,
comrade?” he asked.
“On the Yser, sir. Perhaps
you were there, that terrible
spot near the ferryman’s house.”
“Indeed I was.” said the stran
ger sadly, “for four long years,
driven from my home and my
country I was on that front
and I know every meter of it.
But I have had better luck than
you. 1 found my house intact,
although somewhat soiled; upon
my return and some of my for
tune was saved from the wreck.
Take this, go home and rest for
a few weeks.”
Pressing a thousand-franc note
in the hand of the veteran, the
man walked away.
A few days later, Monsier
Forthomme, minister of national
defense, received a letter call
ing attention to the ex-service
man’s distress. The communi
cation led to prompt actiom-YT
was signed, “Albert, King of Bel

GOVERNOR TO STOP
NEGRO DEPORTATION
Pennsylvania Executive Says
the Whole Power of Com
monwealth Will Be Used to
End Deportation.
New York, Sept. .18.—Governor
Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, today
sent a telegram to the National As

fiel “asking him for a full state
ment of facts and reasons for the
action.’*

the association against the alleged
action of Mayor Joseph Cauffiel in
ordering all negroes who have not
been residents for seven years to
leave Johnstown immediately fol
lowing the killing of two police and
the wounding of four others, the
crimes being charged to the negroes.
The association protested “against
this high-handed injustice through
such deportation of men regardless
of their innocensc or guilt solely
because their skins are black” and
pointed out that “the only action
that should have been taken would
have been to seek out and punish
the guilty.”
The association announced it had
sent a competent investigator to
the scene and would do everything
in its power to protect the lives and
property of Johnstown negroes.

BENFITS OF
CONSOLIDATION
Whenever consolidation has eben
tried, the following advantages have
been noted:
Advantages to Pupils
1. Larger classes result in keener
rivalry among the children and cause
subject matter of recitation to he
more fully developed because of dif
ferent viewpoints.
2. Better grading and classifica
tion. a larger number of recitations
and more personal instruction from
the teacher.
3. Longer time for each recita
tion: 45 minutes instead of 12 minut

consolidation because the people in
the district demand that the better
school he kept open longer each
year.
5. Extends the circle of acquain
tances and broadens the experience
of children.
fi. Greater interest in School work
increases enrollment and attendance.
7. Because of hotter grading, long
er recitation periods and terms, and
more regular attendance, pupils com
plete the high school course at ap
proximately the same age they now
complete the eighth grade in the
one room rural school. This saving
in time has a value that cannot he
estimated in dollars and cents.
8. Athletics and literary societies
for boys and girls are possible be
cause of the larger enrollment from
which to draw. This results in bet
ter training, better health and bet
ter school spirit.

County School Supt.
SISTER OF DR. GALE DIES
Louisville people sympathize with
Dr- L. I). Gale in the death of his
sister. The Brunswick News has this
to say about the passing of this be
loved woman:
Mrs. A. E. Leybourne died last
night at 10:45 o’clock at the family
residence, 2209 Norwich Street.
The passing of Mrs. Leybourne
was a severe shock to her countless
friends in Brunswick, who were ap
prised of her illness, but who were
not prepared for the news of her
death. She had been indisposed for
several weeks with an attack of gas
tritis and all that medical aid and
loving hearts could do proved un
availing and the end came peacefully
last night.
Mrs. Leybourne was a most lov
able woman. She moved to Bruns
wick from Albany, Ga., with her
parents when only three years of
age and has lived here since. She
was the youngest daughter of the
late Dr. and Mrs. A. D. Gale, a sister
of the lamented Miss Susie, Miss
Mattie and Judge A. D. Gale. In the
passing of this truly noble woman
there is occasioned the deepest sor
row and grief- Her family and
friends have suffered an irrepar
able loss. She was the embodiment
of love and kindliness and the hap
piest hours of her life were spent
in radiating sunshine among those
over whom the shadows hung heav
iest.
Besides her husband, Mrs. I.ey
bourne is survived by two sons, Al
ien E. Leybournc, of Jacksonville;
James G. Ley bourne, of Brunswick;
and one daughter, Miss Eloise Lev
bourne, of the State Normal Coi.

Ml STATUS OF
FUJI UNAFFECTED
Belgrade. Sept. 18.—The Italian
charge d'affaires here has explained
to the government that the dispatch
of General Giarrlino to Finnic as
military governor of the free city
has affected in no era.' the actual
status of Finnic nor the possibility
of an Italo-Jugo-Slav understanding.
It should he regarded, he said, as
a precautionary pressure on the part
of Italy, made necessary by the re
crudescence of activity among cer
tain extremist elements.
News of General Giardino’s ap
pointment caused considerable un
official comment here, especially
since it was felt that a settlement
of the Fiinne question was in sight.
Popular feeling was that a mili
tary coup had upset the course of
events at Fiume and demands that
Italy should he asked to cancel the
appointment were frequently heard.
The minority narties in parlia
ment are preparing to take part in
what is expected to be a lively de
bate on the incident at the opening
session on Thursday. It is felt that
the government of Premir Pachitch
may suffer, especially if public
opinion feels that the ministry has
made too optimistic an interpreta
tion of the preceding links in the
chain of Italo-Jugo-Slav negotia
tions, and that it has failed lo keep
the public informed on all the de
velopments of the situation.
The foreign office thinks Italy’s
action at Fiume may really be the
outcome of international disturb
ances there, and suggests that a local
resident of the free city, rather than
a'l Official sent from Italy might
l eplace Signor Depoii, who resigned
as head of the Fiume government.

Louisville Man Selected For
Service By Gov. Walker.
Hon. J. B. Phillips of Louisville
is away this week serving on the
tax commission, as an appointee by
Gov. Clifford Walker. Louisville i
very proud to have a representative
on this bods as Gov. Walker strove
to get a committee of the most ca
pable. able and upstanding men of
the state. The committee including
the governor is made up of 13 of
the most prominent citizens in Geor
gia.
The duty, a<k we understand it.
is for this commission to work out
and recommend a tax measure which
will he presented to the extraordi
nary session which convenes Nov
7th. This commission will make a
survey of the needs of the state’-
institutions for a period of lfi years
ind with Governor Walker’s assist
ance and recommendations, will pre
sent to the General Assembly the
proper reform tax system that Geor
gia needs.
This commission will have the
assistance of an advisory board,
and meeting place for public hear
ings will he held in various cities
The members of this commission
has been asked by the Governor to
serve without compensation and to
defray their own expense.
The Governor says the members
of the General Assembly are es
pecially invited and expected to
attend at least one meeting at the
point most convenient.
This question of revising Geor
gia’s tax system is of such magn’
tude it would be rather unwise as
well as unpractical for us to discuss
at length, because we have not been
able to thoroughly study this vol
uminous question from its various
angles, but we do realize it is a
most tremendous task-one that if
the Governor and the commission
can accomplish will he of great val
ue and service to Georgia.
