The mystery wreck here on the G.,
F. & A. Railroad Wednesday was
quite a blow* to freight and passen
ger traffic. The wreck occurred at
the Ausmac station about 2:15 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. A north
bound freight train was the victim.
No lives were lost, nor injuries in
flicted. However, two cars were com
pletely pulled off the rails and others
threatened. The wheels of the cars
that left the track were practically
demolished. The origin of the wreck
is a subject for discussion, but the
general sentiment is that the wheels
were worn to the extent that when
they approached the switch they at
tempted to detour, which caused the
wreck. The switch was locked. For
tunately when the cars left the track
they uncoulped themselves immedia
tely, or they would have been ruin
ed, along with other possibilities. Of
ficials and various crews were sum
moned to the scene, who built the
track aroun dthe cars. The north
bound passenger train, due here at
5 p. m. was delayed until 9:40 o'clock.
The crew has built the track under
the wrecked ears and pushed them
aside. The cars are loaded with 20
tons of Fuller’s Earth, The recon
struction work has been quite diffi
cult.
The ball game here Friday between
the local team and Hopeful High
School was quite an interesting fea-1
ture of the week’a schedule. The
first half was ended with Pine Hill
in the lead. The second half was
continued over time, and the Hope
ful boys profited by the advantage
and when the game finallyfcnded the
Hopeful outfit led by a plurality of
one point. The following boys lined
up for the defeat: Wilmer Culbreath
Carter Martin, Idus Lynn, Laurie
Joiner, and Lonnie McGlamery. The
boys deserve praise for their gallant
efforts.

KUNE BROS.,
“Department Store”
San Francisco, Cal.
Returns from the November 1 ref
erendum, now virtually complete af
ter long tabulation, show that Cali
fornia voters defeated by more than
two to one a proposal to issue $500,-
000,000 of bonds to finance the oper
ations of a board of five men to be
created to take over and operate the
hyd^i-elecj.ric utilities. The latest
figures are 443,000 votes against the
plan and 291,000 for it. This repudi
ation of an entire program is prob
ably the most thorough ever effected
in a California election.
This message will carry inspiration
to the Georgia farmer from his
brother in California. Its meaning
robbed of well sounding phrases, is
that the farmer’s taxes there will not
go to pay for the cost of electricity,
gas and street car rides for the com-
fortably housed city man. It means
an end there to a dangerous, unjust,
Communistic propaganda.
The raisin grower of California is
one with the cotton planter of Geor
gia. Farmers are one the world ov
er. Their interests are identical. And
the vote in California points clearly
to every Georgia legislator his duty
toward this question of Public Owner
ship.
What these men tried to do in Cal
ifornia—and failed to do—is precise
ly what their fellow-conspirators in
the Municipal League have tried and
are trying tp do in Georgia. If any
thing, the pla nproposed for Georgia
is even more dangerous to the farm
ers’ interests, than the California
plan. They limited their proposal in
California to an issue of five hundred
millions of dollars in bonds to finance
the plan. The Georgia scheme has
no limit.
In California they proposed that
a board of five politicians should take
over the power plants aftd run them,
paying for losses with the State’s
tax money. This is the same identi
cal proposal made to Georgians by
the Municipal League. But the Geor
gia plan involves also the throttling
of the Constitutional safeguard ag
ainst excessive indebtedness for
which the tax-payers’ property is se
curity. Once this sacred barrier is
hacked away, once these consirators
are in charge of the vast properties
bought with bond money, there will
not be left one single safeguard for
the farmer or any other tax-payer.
By the terms of the proposed law
this board of politicians would be res
ponsible to no one—not even the
courts. They would be above the
Public Service Commission—above
the Legislature! Their authority
would come directly from the Consti
tution, as slashed and changed by the
plan, and they would be a law unto
themselves! What an opportunity!
This is the plan being urged on
Georgia law-makers. Until now the
senators and representatives, with
commendable consistence, have re
jected it. But it will come up again
next summer. The Georgia farmer
is the backbone of the state, and he
is the State’s political boss. His
word to his legislator should echo
his California brother’s stern refusal
to surrender his welfare or his prop
erty to these visionary, selfish con
spirators. , ktl< .
The following communication from
club women of Fort Valley, in pro
test at the activities of certain offi
cers of the state federation in the re
cent election, has been sent to this
paper for publication. It should be
of in terest to club women in this sec
tion:
Fort Valley, Ga. Nov. 20, 1922.
Dear Madam President:
Please have this read to yohr Club
at its next meeting:
To the Federated Clubs of Georgia,
we submit this protest:
Inasmuch as the thinking men and
women of Georgia have conceded that
the recent campaign for the creation
of Peach county was, to a large ex
tent, defeated by the women of the
State Federation:
We deplore the fact that the mat
ter which was purely a local affair,
should have ben brought into the
Federation, which, by its constitu
tion, is a non-partisa: body; there
by making the issue a gross injustice
to the two representative clubs of
Fort Valley, namely, the History Club
and the Library Auxiliary, which
have been loyal supporters of the
Federation since their oganization.
We do not take this step inadvis
edly, or from personal ill-feeling; but
because we regard the constitution
and by-laws of the Federation with
profound respect. For this reason
we protest, for the sake of future is
sues, for the sake of right and jus
tice, we plead that the Federated
Clubs be non-partisan. If we are to
be thrown into the political arena,
lets be fair and open about it; give
all sides justice and an equal hear
ing, instead of permitting all of the
advantages to those in power, as so
happened in the recent election where
(in some instances) official position
was used to influence opposition to
Peach county.
OR, shall * our constitution be
changed ?
Let’s come to a decision for or
against politics in the clubs of Geor
gia. One will reduce us to a political
machine; the other will give us the
privilege as club women of being a
material asset to the upbuilding and
the uplift of our state.
Which shall it be?
Respectfully submitted,
The Fort Valley History Club,
Mrs. Cliff Prator, Sec'yj
Woman's Library Auxiliarl, I
Mrs. Geo. Wright, Sec'y. j
The above was unanimouly adopt- j
ed at a joint meeting held Nov. 14th

Mr. Belcher’s Statement about His Sale That Begins Dec. 1st
I I admit that I am caught with the goods—I bought heavy for every de- j
I partment; First, because I anticipated a big business this fall and I
second because I was offered unusual values in different lines and felt
it was not only to my interest to buy when prices were right, but that
it was a duty I owed my customers to look after their interest as well
as mine, and now that I am in the heart of the season and still have
thousands of dollars worth of new merchandise of all kinds, I have de
cided to reduce stock. If price means anything to you, come to this
sale expecting rare bargains—you won't be disappointed.
