Dr. Williams Preaching
the Old - Fashioned
Gospel Message.
Dr. Williams,, in his own unique
way, is attracting his hearers to the
,, Love of God and His Wonderful Salva-
tion. In a most powerful way he
presents the gospel message of Jesus
Christ, and together with his preach
ing interspersed. with ursts of songs,
the convicting power of the spirit of
God has convinced many of wayfard-
ness of life and many souls have been
.saved and connected themselves with
the church. Crowds are attending
both services and street meetings are
being held at different points where in
the open airs the men of the street
hear the message gladly.
Earnestness manifested by business
men in entering into the support of
this meeting is very noticeable and
good results are attendant. Many
adults are joining themselves to serv
ice.
Stores are closed during meeting
hours and all are attending. This re
vival will last in the hearts of the
people and homes will be forever blest.
Family prayer has begun and whole
families are now attending church

HOUSE PASSES
HIGHWAY
BILL
Atlanta.—The Georgia H6use re
cently began enactment of new high
way legislation.
A substitute bill, reported by the
committee in the place of a bill by
■if Representative Davis of Oglethorpe.
This bill provides that 6 per cent of
the funds derived from the motor ve
hicle tax be devoted to the State
Highway Department for overhead
expense, and that the balance be pro
portioned among the counties that the
Highway Department shall direct the
expenditure of these funds, but that
it shall confer with county authorities.
The original bill provided that 4
per cent of the motor tax should be
taken out for collection expenses, that
15 per cent should go to the Highway
Department, and that the remainder
should be divided among the counties
according to their post road mileage.
The Highway Department opposed
the Davis bill on the ground that it
would affect federal aid appropria
tions!, and the substitute bill then
was agreed on. It was known as the
McMichael-Davis substitute.
Representatives McMichael of Ma
rion, Bowden of Ware, Lankford of
Toombs and Arnold of Clay spoke in
> favor of the substitute measure.
Representative Mann of Glynn of
fered an amendment providing that
one-half of all State motor vehicles
aid. This amendment developed con
siderable opposition.
Chairman DuBose of the Appropria
tions Committee, announced that the
general tax act would be taken up
next.
The following new bills were intro-
(j duced in the House:
1 By Mr. Beck of Campbell—To re
quire all products made from pow
dered milk to be labelled. (General
Agriculture No. 1.)

of public lands to give additional au
thority to counties for road purposes.

FARMERS OF
FAYETTE TO MEET
Atlanta.—Hon. J. J. Brown, Com
missioner of Agriculture, and Andrew
J. Fleming, Secretary of the Georgia
Farmers Union, will address the farm
ers of Fayette county at a mass meet
ing lo be held at the courthouse in
Fayetteville at 2:00 p. m. on August
2nd, on behalf of the Georgia Cotton
Growers’ Co-operative Association.
The meeting is the opening gun in
Fayette county of a great educational
campaign beginning July 27th and con
tinuing until the middle of August,
which the Association is staging
through ten teams of distinguished
speakers, who will visit nearly every
cotton county in the state during that
time in its behalf.
Fayette county has heard something
heretofore of this great co-operative
marketing movement when Director
of Organization A. A. Elmore addres
sed a meeting here sometime ago, but
the movement was then in its infancy
and had not gained the headway in
the state in the understanding of the
farmers which it has now, and a great
new start for this county is contem
plated with this meeting.
Hart and Franklin counties are re
ported nearly over the top on signing
their percentage of cotton necessary
to make up the 300,000 bales minimum
for ttye state, and several other coun
ties in the state, where the movement
has already been carried, are coming
along very fast. As a result of the
great campaign now being staged, the
association expects to sign its min
imum of cotton before hot weather is
over. In the counties visited, local
organization machinery will be built,
and the sign-up campaign carried for
ward without delay.
Paul Barrett, acting field represen
tative of the association for a group
of counties including Fayette, is mak
ing the arrangements for the meeting.
In the morning preceding the mass
meeting, the speakers will meet in
conference, members of the existing
Fayette County commiitee, and other
local leaders who will take up the
work.
Every cptton farmer in the county
is urged to attend the great rally on
August 2nd, and not only the farmers,
but business men and bankers of Fay
etteville and surrounding points, are
urgently asked to be present. The
ladies also are cordially invited.
Interest in the movement is now
running exceedingly high all over the
state, especially since the United
States government has placed its
stamp of approval on the business ef
ficiency of the plan through the lend
ing of the War Finance Corporation
of several million dollars to a group
of Mississippi long-staple growers or
ganized under the identical plan.
STORIES OF GREAT SCOUTS
New Law Forces Delay In Landing
New York.—Six great ocean liners,
loaded with Greeks, Turks, Poles, Ital
ians and other aliens, will loaf around
w outside the three-mile limit off New
* York harbor, with nothing to do but
watch the rum-runners go by.
Single Taxers
Praise Governor
Hardwick’s Stand
t
A set of resolutions advocating the
single tax, and indorsing Governor
Hardwick’s stand in discriminating
between “earned and unearned’’ in
comes, was presented to the governor
recently by a committee ow women on
behalf of the Atlanta Equal Suffrage
Association. Members of the commit
tee were Mrs. Emma T. Martin, chair
man; Mrs. Amelia R. Wooddall, Dr.
Grace Kirkland, Mrs. Beulah Rose
Stevens and Miss Elizabeth Sawtell.
According to the resolutions the
burden of taxation calls for immediate
relief, and the demand for revenue
to maintain all government institu
tions was never so great in Georgia,
the only means of harmonizing these
two conflicts being by enacting the
principle of mortal right and justice
in our system of taxation of land
values alone, is the only just way to
set affairs of the State on a sound
basis, it is pointed out in the resolu
tion. The resolutions were adapted
in open meeting of the Equal Suffrage
Association July 20.
By Elmo Scott Watson
Boys, boys, boys, for your amusement
and information the News is carrying
a special series of articles under the
heading of “Stories of Great Scouts,”
which gives a short chronological his
tory of the American frontier and the
men who made it,famous, such as Dan
iel Boone,-Buffalo Bill, Davy Crockett,
Wild Bill and all others whom you
have heard and read about as well as
many others who were just as great,
but perhaps you 'have never heard
mentioned. Each week, for you, the
News will carry a story of two of
these famous scout until forty-eight
of the most important have been
covered. Watch for the column
headed “Stories of Great Scouts" each
week.
“Stories of Great Scouts’’ is the name of an added feature
which we have secured for the pleasure and entertainment of our
readers.
In this issue of the News will be found the first of this series
of stories treating on two of America’s famous scouts. Each week
we will carry a thrilling tale covering two of America’s bravest
and most picturesque figures—the men who defeated savage cun
ning and blazed a way for the vanguard of empire—until the series
of forty-eight famous men have been told.
Books have been written about four or five famous scouts,
but this series is the first real comprehensive work which includes
all of the leading figures in frontier history. It is a chronological
story of the American frontier, epitomized in the lives of great
scouts, covering every period from the French and Indian war to
the Ghost Dance uprising, the last serious trouble with the In
dians.
Most historians play up such men as Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill,
Kit Carson and California Joe. These stories show that Ben Clark,
Frank Guard, Sharp Grover, Yellowstone Kelly and others are just
as important in history, though they were not so widely adver
tised as the former.
Remember the first of this series will be found in this issue of
the News. Daniel Boone, the great Kentuckian and Simon Kenton,
“the American Mazeppa,” being treated in this issue. Next week’s
issue will-cover Major Sam McCullough and Captain Sam Brady.
Watch for this feature each week. It is a rare treat.
, Other features of special interest car
ried in the News, this week, are as fol
lows:
“The Story of Our States”-—our spe
cial series of articles treating on his
toric sketches in the making of each
state in the Union. The states treated
this week are Washington and Idaho.
“International Sunday Schoofl Les
son.”—This week Rev. P. B. Fitzwa-
ter has selected his lesson text from
Acts 11:19-30, and the subject of "his
sermon is “Saul Teaching at Antioch.”
“The Kitchen Cabinet,” by Miss Nel
lie Maxwell.—In this department Miss
Maxwell suggests many dainty dishes
for hot weather and tells us what to
eat.
“Who’s Who in the World” is an
other of our regular departments and
features. Frank Henry Gerhardt
Schwartz, Prime Minister William M.
Hughes of Australia, Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska and J. R. Howard,
president of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation, in this issue.

GRADY INGRAM DIES
Postmaster of McDon
ough—27 Years
of Age.
Grady Ingram, postmaster of Me-
Donough succumbs to the ravages of
typhoid fever and died at eleven
o’clock Tuesday night at his home,
surrounded by his wife, children and
parents.
Grady will be missed more than can
be told in this article, a-self sacrificing
genial man of stable character, wits,
wholesome altruistic ideals, living to
let live, ever thinking of another's
trials* and troubles and exerting him-
helf to better others conditions rather
than his own. This grand young man
of twenty-seven years, has suddenly
been snatched from our midst.
Grady was born and raised in Mc
Donough, and loved by everybody, he
leaves a wife and three children,
father and three sisters and two broth
ers, one a Stewards Officer in the
navy, enroute„with the Asiatic fleet to
the Philipines and the other, L. A.
Ingram, of Fayetteville. Our hearts
are saddened by the death of this
young, finely charactered and esteem
ed citizen of Henry county and we
extend our heartfelt sympathies to
his family and commend them to our
Heavenly Father for comfort to their
bereaved hearts in this their saddened
hour.
A BRAVE FIGHT
AGAINST
TYPHOID FEVER
The people of Georgia have been
fighting typhoid fever during the past
month and a half more earnestly than
ever before. The State Board of
Health through the newspapers and
the physicians warned all the citizens
of the state that Typhoid fever threat
ened to be quite serious unless cer
tain precautionary measures be insti
tuted; namely, vaccination and better
sanitation.
Much activity was noted along these
lines. In one county, the county
health officer was able to secure the
installation of 500 sanitary privies dur
ing the month of June. Also large
Quantities of typhoid vaccine have
been administered by the health offi
cers and physicians since the publica
tion of these warnings. During the
month of June the State Board of
Health Laboratory filled orders for
vaccine to the amount of 85,000 c. c.
or injections. A large number of ord
ers, however, were not filled because
of the inadequacy of the supply of
vaccine and also funds for employing
the necessary help to manufacture the
vaccine.
If any one wishes to secure vac
cine free from the laboratory during
the present typhoid season it would
be well to place the order at once, as
there is such a demand until it, now
appears that some of the “eleventh
hour” orders cannot be filled.
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
FAYETTE COUNTY TO HAVE
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Convention to Be Held
at Sandy Creek Church
Thursday, Aug. 4.
RESPONSIBILITY COUNTY - WIDE AT-
OFTHE PARENT TENDANCE CON
I' . TEST ORGANIZED
Many parents lose sight of the fact
that the vacation period is one of
grave danger to the growing child.
The boy or girl just out of school
feels like the caged bird that is sud
denly released from its captivity. It
glories in its freedom to :he exclusion
of all else.
Many of the lessons in deportment
that have been learned in the class
room are gradually forgotten as the
child finds its way to the street. There
is no room in its heart for anything
but the glories of the present, unless
the parental hand is ever guiding its
steps. The future is a sealed book
which will be opened only too soon
for its purpose.
Herein the function of the parent
becomes of double importance to the
future of the child, for the careful
work and training of the teacher must
be carried through the days and
weeks of the vacation period, not to
the extent of hampering the child in
its rest and recuperation from class
room confinement, or depriving it of
the innocent pleasures of life, but
rather the daily impressing upon its
young mind the necessity for contin
uing the rules of conduct learned in
its hours of study.
Children are , quick to learn and
equally quick to forget. An impres
sion may sink deep today and be for
gotten by tomorrow, but if it is re
peatedly brought to the attention of
the juvenile j brain it will eventually
take root and live.
The teacher is responsible to the
parent for the proper instruction of
the child during its hours of study,
but the parent has a double respon
sibility—to both the teacher and the
child—the responsibility of safeguard
ing the work of both.
A County-wide Attendance Contest
has been organized in connection with
the approaching Fayette County Sun
day School convention to be held at
Sandy Creek Church, on Thursday,
August 4th, according to R. D. Webb.
General Superintendent of the Georgia
Sunday School Association.
At this convention an attractive ban
ner will be publicly awarded to the
Sunday School having the largest
number of delegates in proportion to
the distance traveled. Under this
plan, ten delegates coming ten miles
each to the convention count the same
as twenty delegates only five miles
each, thus making It fair for all, both
near and far.
The banner becomes the. property of
the Sunday School winning it, and
may be taken home for permanent dis
play in the Sunday School room.
Oil Wells At Amatlan Mexico Burning
Mexico City. — The Amatlan oil
fields are on fire, with drilling towers
foiling like chaff and the workmen
fleeing, according to reports here de
scribing “the greatest catastrophe in
the history of oil fields.” The cause
of the fire is not known. The finan
cial loss cannot be estimated, say the
advices, which add that the confla
gration dwarfs into insignificance the
Pordro del Dano disaster. Columns
of fire hundreds of feet high are cover
ing the entire field, it is declared, and
efforts to suppress the blaze are said
to be considered hopeless.
