One of the Most Valuable
Automobile Franchises in America
Is Open J
•
This opportunity e will appeal irresistibly to some
aggressive business man, or group of men
For more than a quarter of a century,
C. W. Nash has been a conspicuous
figure in the automobile world. His
career at every point has been marked
by success. As he has progressed, the
army of dealers who distribute Nash
motor cars throughout the Nation
have, month after month, and year
after year, received their full share
of the prosperity that has followed
each new advancement of this fore
most motor car builder.
As a result the Nash contract is rig
idly regarded by automobile men as
one of the most valuable and profit
able. If you would ask an estab
lished Nash dealer to estimate the
value cf his franchise you would be
amazed at the high price he would
set as its fair earning power. As a
Nash dealer, one man in a small South
ern town is doing a $140,000 business
with but SIO,OOO invested. Another
Southc-n man does a $280,000 business
cn a $25 000 investment. Yet. despite
the fact that the Nash franchise is so
valuable the right kind of a man. or
group of men, can obtain it in this
community without a penny’s cost.
The opportunity is obvious and every
ambitious man who is not irrevocably
anchored will thrill to its promise.

MRS. WILMER S. CURLING,

most successful organization; if you

We would like to tell you how Sales
opportunities will be built for you
through the expenditure of millions
of dollars in National advertising and

ising communities than this have built
splendid business.
The Martin-Nash Motor Company of
Atlanta and Jacksonville, Southeast
ern Distributors, have an unusually
liberal plan of cooperating with you
in sales and service development, as
well as a plan for sharing in your
own advertising.
Get the facts now. The Nash Agency
will soon be placed in your city. A
moderate investment is necessary, plus
energy and foresight, but the fran
chise provides safeguards that abso
lutely insure the invested capital.
Before you right now is a real oppor
tunity. Come to Atlanta. Wire us.
Phone us. Or sign the coupon, and
a representative of this organization
will bring ALL the facts to you.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

In an advertisemht by the Dixie
Realty Company we saw the title of
this editorial. That is good advice
—that is something which we should
have thought of many, many years
ago, for there, are people in Douglas
and Coffee county who have paid
enough rent during the last 20 years
to have bought a farm, or a home
in town.
If you are going to farm, own a
home, if there is not but fifty of it,
let it be yeours. If you are going
to live in the town or city and have
a wife and babies own a home! If
you can not afford to build but only
four walls and a roof own a home!
Suppose you are killed by auto,
rattlesnake bite, or die in some other
manner, will your loved ones have to
move wheij the month is up or do
you own your own home?
The person who owns his own home
will take some pride in it. He will
make repairs when needed. He will
repaint occasionally. Flowers will be
planted and cared for by the wife
and mother if you own your own
home. The children will appreciate
it moie if you own your own home.
We do not know why it is but the
world seems to appreciate a person
more if he owns his own home. We
do not mean by that that you have
to own this world’s good in order
to be respectable. For there are
millions in America who are poverty
stricken whom wealth is glad to bow
to. But if a man owns his home be
is likely to continue living in it, and
any town or community is glad to
have its worthwhile citizens continue
living in the town or community.
Therefore, if you like the folks
among whom you live and they ap
preciate your presence as a neighbor,
you are sure to find a home near you
for sale. If you have not the cash
on hand make a saving on something,
do without something for a few years
and wind up by owning your own
home.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia University, and
reputed foe of prohibition was called
“a cheap skate,” lacking in spunky
spinality,” by Representative Wil
liam D. Upshaw, dry leader, of Geor
gia, in a statement last Sunday.
Dr. Butler had refused to debate
prohibition with Mr. Upshaw. “As
the challenged party I have been
given the choice of the weapons and
would select silence,” said Dr. But
ler. “The Congressman seems to
know nothing what eve* of the prohi
bition question. In Georgia his nick
name is O’Phsaw.”
Mr. Upshaw points to the four
terms in Congress and his hundreds
of speeches on prohibition as indicat
ing his qualification to handle the
liquer topic.
Upshaw Says:
“Dr. Butler starts a wet wind bat
tle, then sees a dry storm coming and
crawls into a beer barrel and pulls
the bung in after him.
“But suddenly betaking himself of
the well-known methods of the wets
to ridicule where they cannot argue,
he furtively end silently opens the
hole long enough to make a face at
the man he is afraid to meet, by de
claring that Congressman Upshaw is
nicknamed O’Pshaw down in Georgia.
“Cheap skates! Even the wet fens
in the Gotham grandstand and bleach
ers, who love a good sport, will de
cline to applaud such a pitiful lack of
spunky spinality.
“The conclusion is painful, but you
have forced it on us—that the density
end the darkness of your stupendous
concerning prohibition and its devo
tees is the most amazing product of
the blinding and befuddling influence
of liquorized philosophy that this
country has ever seen since Columbus
discovered America^
DRY SECTION ARE
INJURED EDUCATIONALLY
Education in the drought-stricken
counties of Northeast Georgia has
been effected in some parts by the
prolonged dr y spell.
Fort E. Land, state superintend
nt of schools, is in receipt of letters
from school officials in several coun
ties, requesting permission to begin
their school year immediately instead
of waiting until the scheduled No
vember and De cember terms. The
communications in every case state
that the failuie of certain crops has
made idle many children, who will be
needed earlier in the spring in the
fields.
Superintendent Land has the sub
ject under consideration.

New York.—An attempt by a wo
man to kill Monsignor Thomas O’-
Keefe while he was celebrating mass
at the altar of St. Benedict the Moor,
last Monday was thwarted by wor
shipers who overpowered her after
she had fired three shots. The priest
was not injured although one bullet
passed through his cape, the other
two embedding themselves in the al
tar.
Father O’Keefe remained calm
throughout the episode and after
quieting the panic in the congrega
tion, which followed the shooting,
finished his mass.
Police arrested the woman, who
said she was Mrs. Helen Gruver, 40.
of 340 West Fifty-Third street. She
said she planned for several days to
murder the priest “because he pois
oned two women and that’s enough.”

made that one of his leading pleas for
