THANKS ASSISTANTS
S. S. CONFERENCE TO
MEET AT FITZGERALD
SHOWS THE NEED FOR COOPE
RATION AND EARLY BUYING
FOR NEXT WINTER.
SESSION WILL BE HELD FRI
DAY AND SATURDAY, APRIL
STH AND 6TH.
THURSDAY,APRIL 4,
March 31, 1618, will mark the
dose of the moat strenuoua coal year
in the hiatory of the coal industry. *
The period through which we have
juat pasted has called for that qual- *
ity of courage that has characterized *
your administration, and has exacted ]
of you many sacrifices; there are 1
many among you who have sacrificed j
both time and business in your effort i
to protect your community from the *
suffering attended by a coal famine. :
Both your respective communities
and the State Division of the U. 8. j
Fuel Administration have felt the ben 1
eficial results of .your efforts. On be- 1
half of the U. S. Fuel Administrator !
I wish to express to you my grateful
appreciation for your valued assist- ,
nnce.
- We are now entering upon another '
coal.year thee ondltlons of which are
balling upon you for further effort, 1
labor and perhaps sacrifices. From 1
present indications, we are entering 1
upon the new period tinder more fav
orable circumstances and advantages;
provided however, that we will follow
the admonition of the U. S. Fuel Ad
ministrator and will take time by the
forelock and make adequate provis-
' ion during the spring and summer
1 months for tlye coal requirements of
1 our respective communities.
I In order that I may emphasize the
* importance of immediate and contin-
■ uous action throughout ‘ the spring
' and summer months, I quote you
* from a recent communication recelv-
■ ed from the U. S. Fuel Administra
tor as follows:
"Consumers in Georgia will suffer
1 a serious shortage next winter un r
f less they begin to fill their bins at
> once and continue to 1 accumulate their
1 winter supply during the summer.”
* I cannot, therefore, urge too strong
t ly your serious consideration of the
> demands now confronting ui. We
* must see to it that the homes of our
t State are not subjected to the same
* 'calamitous situation as was exper-
I ienced during the past winter. ' f
* Coal should be ordered by dealers
? and consumers as early in the. year
1 hs possible and moved to the places
0 of storage aqd consumption during
the spring and summer months with-
but interruption. If this is done the
h Situation may be handled. Otherwise

Dooly’s apportionment of the
Third Liberty Loan is $184,000. Our
goal therefore should be not less than
$200,000. *
Clean-up-Week is being observed
throughout the state. It is exceed
ingly important that we do not relax
our efforts to preserve the health of
our people, on the contrary they
should be intensified, therefore our
people should not wait for a campaign
to promote cleanliness, but begin at
once waging war upon all disease
breeding conditions.
The women of America have been
called upon to economize with conver
sation, to help win the war. The re
quest refers to the abuse of telephone
service in carrying on lengthy and
trival conversations now when all
phone systems are taxed to full capac
ity to accomodate the necessary de
mands upon them. Some man, of
course, has suggested that this would
lie the supreme test of woman’s abil
ity to sacrifice. /

. THE NEGROES’ PART
Elsewhere in this Issue there is an <
urgent appeal to negroes to intensify I
their war support activities. The col- «
cred race is an Important factor in >
the machinery of war. There are
many negroes already'engaged in act- 1
ive military service, some are fighting, ■
some are serving in various other ca- i
parities while others'are bring train- '
ed for service. It is right that they
should go, they enjoy the privileges
and freedom that the United States
government provides and it is right
that all who enjoy this' protection
should have a part in defending It. A
large percentage of Dooly's popula
tion Is negro, all classes of the race
are to be found hero, the government
is malting no distinction between
theta and the whites in the draft for
military service and those who are
left at home should be willing to share
in the sacrifices required to keep them
equipped , for service. The negroes
are asked to bear their part of the fi
nancial burden of the war, many in
thti county are well able to invest in
Liberty Bonds and all can buy Thrift
and War Savings Stamps. The lead
ers among them should use all of
their influence to arouse them to their
responsibility. Their white friends
can do much to encourage them in
doing their duty and they should
spare no effort to be helpful tn this
