% * ' ■•■V-' A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you hav& an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not i / what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. • — ■ i ,,, NEWS. VOL. XXX. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 29, 1918. NO 20 School opened at Little Flock Mon day.. Mr. R. 0.

Allied Terms Tame In Comparison London.—The late Albert Ballin, general director of the Hamburg- American Steamship company, in dis cussing the indicated armistice terms to be given to Germany, in a letter to the editor of the National Zeitung, of Berlin, shortly before his death, according to a telegram from Zurich, said: “The indicated military, econom ic and political conditions of the en tente are much more moderate than might have been expected from our situation. We need only think what our terms would have been had we been the victors. “We would have de manded the occupation of Baris and London. We would have dictated peace at Buckingham palace and an nexed the entire continent from the j Ural mountains to the Bay of Biscay.” j EXPERTS ON LAW MAINTAIN THE RIGHT OF ALLIED NATIONS TO TAKE WILHELM HOLLAND’S VIEW DIFFERENT Legal Authorities Of Great Britain Are Considering The Question From Every Angle WILSON TO SHORTEN HIS STAY IN EUROPE President Plans To Complete Trip In Six Weeks—No Details Anent Trip Have Been Given Out 236,117 Casualties For U. _S.

Bolshevik Troops In Fighting Mood Archangel.—Winter has begun in earnest over the whole northern Rus sian front. All the rivers are ice bound and the Bolshevist gunboats, which have long menaced the Ameri can and allied forces on the Dvina, have been forced to withdraw to es cape being frozen in. The Bolshe vists, however, have mounted big guns along the front south of the allied armies. Operations are limited to spasmodic artillery exchanges, but the Bolshevist forces are receiving rein forcements. Dally Thought.

GRAY. Fayetteville 3. The governor of Florida has called an extra session of the legislature to enact anti-shipping laws before the state goes dry on January first. We were told several times last week the school*was without wood or coal. We do not pretend to know the trouble, but we have seen wagons hauling coal last week and also this. The kind of weather we have had, fuel at the school building should be look ed after. We hear farmers complain that they cannot find any good hog feed. They were told this would be the case a year ago, and they tell us it will not be much better a year from now. We can grow almost any crop of a tem perate climate. Plant and grow some for your boys next fall. Mr. A. G. McDaniel was here this week visiting his uncle, Mr. W. J. Stell. He volunteered a little more than a year ago and after several months’ training in different camps he was transferred to the Officers’ Training Camp in Virginia. They were discharged las tweek aAd on his return to his home in Jewett, Texas, he stopped a couple of days with his uncle. The laymen will have charge of the services at the Methodist church Sun day. It is the beginning of the new conference year, and the pastor is anxious for the people of the entire town to be present. Another sad death to the people of our town and county was that of Mr. Rufus Brogdon last Friday. He nad been unwell for about six weeks, but his condition was not thought so se rious until a few days before his de&th. Mr. Brogdon manipulated a lively in terest in all public affairs and prided in doing his best in all his undertak- He was successful as a farmer and also in the mercantile business and but few men had higher ideals. He was always ready to do his part, and was one of the county’s best citizens. He is survived by his wife, eight chil dren, one brother and one sister. The funeral was held at tjie Baptist church Saturday by Revs. Johnson, Foote and Milton. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the town and commun ity. * In each issue of The News will be found art ad of Cole’s hot blast stove, sold by Fife Mercantile Company. Now that the war is over and coal is to be had, you will make no mistake in call ing and examining these stoves. The hunting laws should command more respect of the people. As a general rule those who violate these will not respect you or your premises. You cannot hunt out of your district without a license. ,You cannot hunt on the lands of another without firs* ob taining permission. Any one can un derstand this. Rev. E. L. Foot is arranging for a series of lectures on Bible study in March at the Baptist church. Some of the best Bible students of the country are expected and we hope our people will co-operate with him and make this a good meeting for our town. THANKSGIVING. We people of Fayette have much for which we should be thankful. We are told our three hundred boys will soon be coming home. If God cares for them as he has thus far, we may expect them all to return and not one left across the waters. We should be a grateful people now. The German people were prosperous and successful for awhile and it seem ed as if they might rule the world. They disregarded right’ and truth and placed might above everything, even God. They are J failure and then- nation a failure. We are told that something like three-fourths of the boys are heavier than.when they entered camps. We are told they are stronger men. We are told they are in better health than when they joined the army. These results should make us think. If the government can make these boys stronger men, we see our mis takes of the past, and we should make the home and community life such as will develop and grow the best men and women. It is time for our people to wake up and see that every hoy and girl have the best of training, of hand, head, health and heart. We were told that twenty-four per cent or twenty-four out of each one hundred could not read and write. The government appealed to every one to learn to do something and es pecially did they appeal for skilled la bor. They appealed for strong, healthy men. They had the Y. M. C. A. and other aids. We all see the import ance of training for the hand,' head, health and heart, to make good citi zens. We should see that those things necessary for the growth and develop ment of these are first in every home and community. We should banish those things which will retard the growth of these; see that every boy and girls has a chance to be what he ought to be, mentally, physically and morally. FOR RENT. Two-horse farm. Standing rent. Ex tra good land. No stumps, few rocks and good house. A very pretty place on public road. W. E. ;SMITH. OF FORMER KAISER London.—It is understood that the question of the extradition of the for mer German emperor is being consid ered by British law officers of the; crown, who are working in close co operation with the French author^ ties. Action in the premises was taken immediately after the flight of the former emperor to Holland. The Evening News says it under stands the law officers have conclud ed that the allies are entitled to de mand the extradition of the former emperor, and that this decision ap plies also to Individuals who have committed or given instructions for the commission of extraditable crimes. It is added that Holland takes the view that she has not the poweT to surrender such persons _ without the consent of Germany.. The French premier, M. Clemen- ceau, recently required of Charles Lyon-Caen, dean of the faculty of law of the University of Paris, an opin ion on the possibility of the extradi tion of William Hohenzollem. M. Caen asked to be given time to pre pare a decision. One of the leading French authori ties on international law, Edouard Clunet, is reported to have advanced the opinion that it was impossible to demand the one-time emperor’s extra dition. The former emperor has been indict ed three times for murder in England in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania, German aerial raids and the shelling by warships of unfortified east coast towns! • Publication of official reports from the Bavarian minister at Berlin to his home government confirm evi dence already in the hands of the en tente that Germany and Austria con spired to bring about the war. ■ It was for this reason that the terms of Austria’s ultimatum to Serbia were made so drastic that hostilities were bound to follow. Washington.—President Wilson Avill sail for Europe next week to attend the opening of the peace conference and he expects to be back in Washing ton soon after the middle of Janu ary. Flans for the president’s trip are going steadily ahead, but beyond the original announcement that he would leave immediately after the conven ing of congress on December 2, no details have been made public. How ever, it was said authoritatively that the president plans to be back on American soil within six weeks after his ship leaves this side. There has been no indication when the peace conference will assemble, but the general belief here is that it will convene immediately after the Christmas holidays. The president goes in advance to confer with the 'en tente statesmen and it is expected that the broad outline of the treaty will be framed beforehand with a view to its adoption soon after the conference meets. Only about one-fourth of those pledging War Savings Stamps has purchased yet. They will be checked up during the next two weeks.
