CEDARTOWN STANDARD Devoted to the Best lnt erests of Cedartown an d Polk County. kV olume 36. Cedartown, Georgia, Thursday, November 2d, 1922. Number 41 BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Auspiciously Launched at Meeting Monday Evening. An enthusiastic meeting was held Monday evening in the Recorder’s Court room at the City Hall by mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of perfecting an or ganization of a Building and Loan Association. The meeting was pre sided over by Mr. C. C. Bunn, Mr. R. O. 'McCord acting as Secretary. Mr. L. N. Shahan, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer of the Citizens Build ing & Investment Co., of Rome, was present and explained in detail the workings of their association in Rome A petition was circulated for sub scriptions, and about one hundred shares were subscribed in the meet ing. A committee consisting of Messrs. C. C. Bunn, B. F. Wright, E. L. Henderson, E. B. Russell and A. C. Cobb was appointed to solicit fur ther subscriptions up to the amount of 600 shares. With this amount the success of the Association is as sured. There could be no better move ment put forward in Cedartown by which to encourage the spirit of thrift and home-owning among our people. Aside from this it offers a very at tractive proposition to the investor, as it will pay from 8 to 12 per cent on savings, which are paid monthly. Any of the committee will be glad to explain the workings of a Building and Loan Association, or information can be obtained through Secretary | McCord, of the Chamber of Com- 1 merce. This is a really excellent move ment, and all citizens should join it and keep our money in Cedartown. There is hardly a boy or girl in Ce dartown who could not save ns much as $1 per month, and all of these ad ded together make a fund which is loaned to members on first mort gages on Cedartown real estate. There is no better security possible than this. Be roady to subscribe when the committee calls on you. U.D.C.

In a most harmonious and enthus iastic state convention Saturday in Macon, Hon. Walter F. George was formally nominated for the United States Senate to succeed the late Sen ator Thos. E. Watson, and Mnj.Chas. E. McGregor ns Pension Commission er to succeed the late Hon. J. W. Lindsey. The speech placing Judge George in nomination was made by Judge U. V. Whipple, of Cordele. Hon. E. S. Ault, of Cedartown, was honored by selection to make one of the nddres- ses seconding the nomination; ho had a good subject, and made one of the best speeches of the day. Mr. Jas. A. Hollomon, of tho At lanta Constitution,in seconding Judge George's nomination “started some thing" by referring to President Wil son ns our "peerless leader,” and re ceived a groat ovation. United States Senator William J. Harris made a brief speech in which ho felicitated Georgia on choosing Judge George for Senator, thrust sharply at Governor Hardwick as a man whom Democratic Senators at Washington had openly expressed a wish to see defeated, and lauded Woodrow Wilson's name as one of the greatest on the pages of history. His reference to the former President was received by the delegates with the greatest enthusiasm. Tho convention unanimously adop ted o resolution endorsing Senator Harris and his splendid work. Senator George made a strong ad dress in accepting the nomination.and strengthened tho fine impression which he made during his campaign. In accepting his nomination, Maj. McGregor made an nffoctionate ref erence to the late Senator Watson, and it was most cordially applauded. Hon. W. J. Vereen, the retiring State Chairman, could not be pres ent on account of illness, but sent to the new Chairman, Hon. G. E. Mad dox, a message that he stands roady to sorvo the Democratic party at any and all times. And now let everybody—especial ly those who voted in the primaries —turn out and vote next Tuesday for tho white primary nominees.

Ho mer Watkins on the useful work that is being done by that great organiza tion and its pressing needs. Mention was also made of the fact that some Polk county girls have been reclaimed through its agency. The committee on Building & Loan Association reported that an active canvass would be made for an organization here. Plans of other cities are being compared, and we will try to get the best. Mr. I. L. St. Clair gave an interest ing account of the state Kiwanis con vention in Savannah, and—like all other Kiwanians who attended the state or national conventions— was enthusiastic as to the work being done. He said that the effort inau gurated by Hon. Chas. Adamson to have Georgia Kiwanians complete the Georgia Bay at the Valley Forge Me morial Building is heartily approved and will be pressed by the state or ganization at once. The Jacobs Co.

Its activities are world-wide, and many people accordingly get the idea that it is of no local value, but this is a great mistake. As a matter of fact, many Polk county people have been groatly helped by tho marvelous organization. One of the Army’s most beneficent activities is its work for wayward girls, and thousands of them all over tho world—and some of them from Polk county—have geen rescued from lives of shame and transformed into useful womanhood. Whorevcr there is suffering tho Salvation Army is nlways ready to help, and its work is especially a- mong the humblest. A man may bo “down" but he is never “out” as long ns he lives, is tho animating convic tion of the great organization, and It is able to extend a helping hand effec tively when other good influences cither cannot or do not try to roach the unfortunate. Its workers do not draw big salaries, but get only en ough for their support and are serv ing for tho love of humanity. Many of them have been “down” them selves, and are now showing their ap preciation of tho Army’s work for the* by working for it. li takes money, though, to feed the hungry, clothe tho naked, and con duct rescue homes, and it is only by contributions from the public that the Army can carry on its work. The Kiwanis Club proposes to help in this great work in Cedartown, and at its last meeting appointed the fol lowing committee to canvass the city and county for aid in tho noble effort: iMr. I. *L. St. Clair, chairman, Maj. Homer Watkins, Judge J. L. Tison. Messrs. Wm. Parker, Jr., nnd W. A. Heldreich. . Thili is a most worthy cause. Lee everybody help.

Vote AGAINST “Peach County” W HAT would you say to a proposal that Georgia be chipped away to form new states? Who would dare attempt it? Georgia, proud member of the original thirteen colonies, in earlier gen erations gave of her wilderness at the westward that younger states might be bom. But the times no longer call for sacrifice. And Georgia remains an empire. Who would demand that Georgia give again, in order that Jacksonville might constitute itself the capital of a state of its own? Or Chattanooga do likewise? No one would be so foolhardy. UNLESS THERE WERE MONEY IN IT. Then the Big Lobby that operates around the Capitol fas Atlanta would cuddle up to the job. uu* f. It might even originate the Idea.
