A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have 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 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. NEWS VOL. XXX. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, JANUARY 31, 1919. NO 28 f HOME AFFAIRS ) LOST—Right front burtain to Stude- baker car.

He was one of the first four men selected from Fayette coun ty and came and offered his service Mr. Rus Harp, of Inman, has re ceived an honorable discharge from the aviation camp and is now homo. A sad deatli to the people of our town and county was that of Mrs. A. O. Blalock last Sunday morning. She had been unwell for severs! days, biit her conditions was not thouhgt serious until a short time be fore her death. She was Miss Bessie Hill Davis of Sandersville before her marriage to Mr. A. O. Blalock of this place. At one time she was a member of the faculty of the Fayetteville school and ever remained active and pro gre.ssive in matters of education. She was an active member of the Methodist church and all its branches of work and so far as we know never shirked any part of her church work, but was always ready to do her best. She was an active member of the Red Cross Chapter, Woman’s Club, and did her best in those things look ing to advancement of her town and conuty. Our town and county have lost one of their best women. She is survived by her husband, A. O. Blalock; one small girl, several stepchildren, of this place; her father and mother, Mr. D. D. Davis of San dersville. The people of the entire town and county join The News in condolence to the bereaved family in their loss. OUR SCHOOL. Almost daily we hear some one com plaining about our school. These complaints come from teachers, trus tees, patrons, pupils and citizens. Ev ery one is telling what some one else ought to do. On the first Saturday in January, State Supervisor M. L. Duggan was here and arranged for an educational meeting for last Fri day night to be free to everybody. We announced it in The News. It was announced in the churches and also several posters were posted. Miss Catlilene Wilkerson of the G. N. and I. College at Milledgeville was present to talk to all pertaining to matters of education. We saw one teacher, and she came too late. We saw one trustees. We saw two brothers. We saw five hiothers, about forty chil dren and a few young people. Some had good reasons, no doubt, but com ing down to “brass tacks,” you need not expect a good school with such in difference from all. We would have liked to have seen the trustees. The teachers are sup posed to be leaders of educational work and should have been there to greet the pupils and patrons qf their trade. The presence of the patrons would have demonstrated their inter est in the education of the children. The future of more than two hun dred pupils hangs on the work of our school. We need not expect better conditions so long as teacheifs, trus tees afid patrons are so indifferent. This may seem plain, but you can't have a good school so long as all display such indifference. Quit growling and show us you want something better and aif|j work ing for something better. MRS. J. H. TRAVIS DIES OF BURNS SUSTAINED l|N EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE Mrs. J. H. Travis, wife of J. H. Travis, a traveling salesman of 129 Stonewall street, died at Grady hospi tal at 6:30 o’clock Sunday night from burns sustained when she poured a quantity of gasoline in a stove at her home Sunday morning. Mrs. Travis was kindling a fire in her home and to hurry the blaze she took what she thought was a quantity of kerosene, but which proved to be gasoline and poured it on the wood. There was a puff of flame and in an in stant she was enveloped in fire. Her cries brouhgt assistance and she was rushed to the hospital. The body was moved to the chapel of Harry G. Poole, pending funeral ar rangements. Besides her husband, Mrs. Travis is survived by two daugh ters, Misses Vera and Biddie Lee Travis; three sisters, Mrs. C. B. Lee, Mrs. W. F. Leach and Mrs. A. D.

The Vatican, Including a number of connected buildings, erected at differ ent periods, covers a space of 1,151 by T67 feet and has 200 stairways, 20 courts and 4,422 rooms. No statement has been made of the number of serv ants employed there. THE BAD AND GOOD IN THE ORDI NARY SOLDIER With tlie exception of the base hos pital, quarter master, remount and division headquarters, Camp Wheeler is now a matter of history. There are about three thousand men in these organizations. To ride over the old camp and see it depopulated where not long ago teeming thousands of strong men were being taught the game of death, is a sight as weird as a battle fought and lost. I’ve long since held that the great friendships of earth have been among men and not women. Woman’s realm hasn’t been calculated to build up great friendships. Her realm has been the social realm and the great friendships of history have been built where strong men stood side by side and grappled to the death with the mighty problems and questions of the ages. To see. these fellows being dis charged and scattered to every state after they have been through the mill ’together take one another by the hand, never to meet again on earth, and look one another square in the teyes and say, “you have been a good pal, and I hope you good luck old man in the game of life” as a crystal tear steals down over a bronzed face you see signs of real friendships. Such friendships as that will leave men in the mystic tie of hand in hand down to the black gates of death. The ordinary soldier has faults that are nigh legion, but God forgive me if I am wrong, I have no disposition to dwell upon them. I see them lend one another their last dollar, give it to him if he needs it, and say, “I’m nigh crazy to get out myself, but I think you guys that have a wife and kids that need you ought to go first. You might think that individuality is lost in the fact that the army is merely a mighty machine but there are special friendships built that will, in spirit, walk through life together. I have hundreds of names that the fellows gave me as they were going out. They rush in, leave their busi ness and home addresses and say when you pass my way look me up and I’ll show you that I’m 'big enough to appreciate what you have done for me. I get letters from them every day, especially from New York and Chicago where most of them have gone. I’m going to look them up, too, if I ever pass that way. When you talk with a soldier you needn’t think there are just some things to say to soldiers for you may be talking to a man that occupied a chair in Harvard or Yale, or that has millions to his credit in the banks. I’m for the soldier, once, last, and all the time; all over town, stand up to be killed. Telegrams come to him bringing intelligence of sorrow in his home that would send an ordinary person to bed and he stands up under it like ai mountain base. About all the signs are, lie walks around by himself and doesn’t have much to say for a few days. Lick Germany with that kind of stuff in these uni forms? Any day, of any calendar in the world. WILL HILL. Camp Wheeler, Ga., Jan. 25, 1919. I am now enrolling club members for the present year, and I would like to have the name of every boy from ten to eighteen years grow an acre of com this year. The world needs it. Three out of every four boys of the county will live on farms when they get to be men, and com is the most important grain crop we can grow. Why not encourage him to be gin his life work now? The bankers and best business men of the state tell us the work of the boys’ corn club has added millions to Georgia’s wealth eveiy year it has been organized. On every farm should be corn, and the boys now will be the future pro ducers of com. Encourage your boy to join and then your neighbor’s boy. On every farm should be a hog and the boys last' year showed what they can do with a pig when given a chance. We are told meat will be high for several years to come. On every farm should be a cow and we have seen but few boys that did not enjoy having a calf. Then at every home should be a nice lot of pure-bred poultry. The only way poor people can eat chicken is to raise chickens. I don’t ask you for one thing that you do not need at home. One of the requirements of a standard school in Georgia today is that it must have these clubs. Go to the schools tflat have made most progress in recent years and you find boys’ and girls' clubs. A good com club at your school is a sign that you are encouraging the boys of the community. A good pig tells whether you are encouraging the boys to grow pigs. Let’s have every boy in the school growing something this year. 1 want your boys in the club. I want a good club from your school. Won’t you help? Won’t you encourage that boy to grow something himself? W. N. D. DIXON, County Agent. Alt Coal Orders Have Been Cancelled Washington.—All orders for the re quisition of coal or coke were can- | celled'by the fuel administration. De- livery on the orders will cease Jan uary 31. THERE’S A REASON Why we are proud of the progress we made the past year, and THERE’S A REASON Why we made it. We gave honest values in hardware and the public appreciated fair dealings. We thank the trade for the patronage and will continue to appreciate your business. 6. i G. HARDWARE CO.
