Civil cases were taken up last week, and the present session is giv en over to the criminal docket. The grand 1 jury is still in session, having many cases to investigate. This term is especially heavy, many cases for trial having come V>ver from previous sessions and the indictments from the grand jury are numerous. Eight pan els of jurymen have been serving. / Among the attorneys attending the fvterm are: Judge E. J. Reagan Judge W. D. Post McDonough Newnan L. S. Camp Fairburn J. W. Culpepper H. A. Allen Fayettevilje Atlanta Hom-John R. Cooper.. J. Mallory Hunt Macon Atlanta W. H. Connor ... Griffin B. D. Murphy W. B. Hollingsworth..

His wealth is so great that even he cannot estimate it. Yet every day sees him a richer man. Henry Ford, a very poor man, a few years ago, is now said to be / worth $250,000,000 or more, all ac- ^ cumulated within a few years of tim& Henry is still grinding out izzies and raking in the pennies. The number of our plutocrats is so great that their combined wealth is staggering, and still they multiply in both numbers and wealth. The war brought enormous wealth to this country, but the great major ity of it went into the swolleh coffers A of the minority. The majority were w permitted a sniff. Some say that we are curseid ^ith big business. But that we do not concede. It is because of big busi ness that this is a big country. \ But there is such a thing as too big business. When a concern reaches proportions where it can dominate everything in its line and regulate prices without regard to competition or the law of supply and demand, it ceases to be a national asset and becomes instead p. burden to the people. It is too big to be safe. If men could take their wealth to Heaven and enjoy it there, we could understand why they continue to amass enormous fortunes which they cannot possibly spent. The great wealth that thus passes ^Jpto the hands of a limited number simply reduces the amount in the hands of the mass of the people. As the few become bloated the many be come emaciated. Congress should no longer shirk its pLain duty to. the people. It should place a limit upon the income which any one may may enjoy. It should confiscate every dollar of that income . jffbove the limit in the form of taxation ■End thus reduce the burden which rests :so heavily upon the shoulders of peo ple who can 111 afford it. DIPHTHERIA IS SPREADING Up to the present time the State Board of Health has been called upon to furnish more than twice as much antitoxin as during the same period last year. This, of course, would in dicate that this disease is much more prevelant than usual, and that every precaution should be taken to pre vent Its spread. To this end the State Board of Health has issued the following instructions to parents and teachers: 1. Remember that Diphtheria is spread through secretions of the mouth and nose. 2. Do not allow children to visit where this is a case of Diphtheria. 3. Do not permit the children at school to use the same drinking cup or dipped; use individual cups or san itary drinking fountains. 5. Keep the children away from soft drink places unless these places use individual drinking utensils. 5. Do not all6w children to put such objects as pencils, toys' and “play things” in their mouths. 6. When the child shows any signs of a sore throat call the doctor at once. 7. Do not overlook the fact that we have only one remedy for Diphtheria: ANTITOXIN. GEORGIA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH. Opening of Schools October 24th The rural schools of Fayette county will, most of them, open their reguar term, October 24. This date will be gin a new six months’ term, which will be uninterrupted except for the Christ mas holidays. Teachers have been secured for most of the schools, and the remainder will be supplied before the opening. Plans are being made for a county wide educational rally during the first week of school. They will be an nounced later. In these times, when we have little of this world’s goods to enjoy, the future of our children should Appeal to us as of prime importance. We can not let them suffer because we are not bearing up like men under our bur dens. Let’s have every child in school the first day, October 24. Editors Tell Court What’s Fi« To Print Kansas City.—Kansas City newspa per men called upon Judge Latspam’s court to give their opinion of what sort of news was fit to print, and what was' not—in connection with the hearing of a motion to quash proceed ings and return confiscated property of a Sunday publication here devoted largely to sensational items—are sum med up as follows: R. E. Stout, man aging editor of the Kansas' City Jour nal, testified that he thought articles appearing in the publication were un fit to print. Ralph Ellis, managing ed itor of the Kansas City Journal, agreed with this opinion. The judge then ask ed the latter whether considered de tailed accounts of supposed happenings in the Arbuckle case were proper read ing matter. Mr. Elis said he believed they were. He said that a moral les son was pointed by the Arbuckle case, and that the motion picture industry was one which affected virtually every home. Warn Smokers Of Hazards Of Fires Chattanooga, Tenn.—Homer Rutty- ledge, fire marshal of the state of Mich igan, was elected president of the Fire Marshals’ association of North Amer ica at the concluding I session of the lannual convention. Other officer are: Newman T. Miller of Indiana, vice pres ident: L. T. Hussey of Kansas, secre tary and treasurer; Former President J. A. Tracey of Iowa and W. M. Van Kamp, insurance commissioners s o|E North Dakota, members of the execu tive .committee. Selection of the next convention city was left to the execu tive committee. Physician Is Killed By Irate Husband Lynchburg, Va.—Dr. William M. Strother, practicing physician, near Boonsboro. Bedford county, seven miles from here, wa^ shot and instant ly killed by a neighbor, Jesse R. Ford, Jr., who went immediately and gave himself to Magistrate Webber. A cor oner's inquest rendered a verdict that Doctor (Strother was killed by Ford. Ford's wife, who was with Strother in the latter’s home at the time of the shooting, was the only witness. After the shooting Ford, at the request of his wife, assisted her in lifting Doctor Strother’s body on the veranda of the house and then went away land sur rendered himself. fritfie PU b; Lie EYE P Admiral of the Fleet j The marquis of Milford Haven, formerly known as .Prince Louis of Battenberg, who died suddenly the other day, had just been promoted to be admiral of the fleet, a tardy recog nition of his great work In preparing the British fleet for war, and his mas terly strategical disposition of it when the conflict with Germany began. Soon after his achievement a cam paign was started against him in the admiralty, in which he ^as first sea lord,' on account of his German origin; it was taken up Ry the jingo press and his dismissal was demanded. But the public attacks were the least part of bis punishment for his offense. He received a thousand anonymous let ters of the foulest description from his British fellow subjects in return for his services, and finally ■ Winston Churchill, then first lord of the ad miralty, reluctantly accepted his res ignation. Battenberg was placed on SUGGESTION FOR THE GOOD OF OUR TOWN half pay and his German property was confiscated by the German govern ment. Since then he had been in quite poor circumstances, living in a small villa • at Weybridge. Before the war competent judges pronounced him a naval commander of real genius. It is sometimes wondered whether, if he had been retained in command, the British fleet wouldn’t have given a better account of itself than it did. His Clan Is Attacked William Joseph Simmons of At lanta, Ga., lias bis hands full these days defending the new Ku Klux Klun, of which lie is the Imperial wiz ard. He and his aids have been ex ceedingly active in extending the or ganization in many states, and In all parts of the country in which it has taken root it is being made the object of bitter attacks. Governors and mayors are besought to take steps for its suppression, and in some cases they have aligned themselves actively with the foes of the Klan. Especially in the South, the or ganization is accused of emulating the lawless, and often brutal acts of the notorious Ku Klux Klan which sprang up in reconstruction days. But whereas the older Klan had for Its only victims the negroes, the new organization seems to give its atten tion mainly to whites. Imperial Wizard Simmons, how- CopjrijM, As you wander along the highways and the byways of this town, it is possible that you see many things which you think should not be. Do you ever speak of these things to people who have the power of cor rection. Does it occur to you that their ab sorption in other) duties |raay have caused them to overlook some of the things that are so plain to you? Do you realize that their brains plus yours are more potent than their brains alone? Every man owes a duty to the com munity that shelters and sustains him. That duty is to 'aid in the advance ment of the welfare of the community as a whole. Calling attention to undesirable con ditions is not necessarily a reflection upon the constituted authorities. One pair of eyes cannot see everything, neither can one brain master every thing—and the Lord does not provide any man with more of either. " It may not be possible for the au thorities to make a prompt correction of conditions you report, as there is a limit to their possibilities. But your report will impress upon their minds, and in time they may be able to afford the desired relief. This community has reached its pres ent state of desirability through the efforts of all of our people. It will be come every more desirable as we bend additional efforts to that end. Speak and be heard. Your criticisms are of no value until you make a STATE FAIR SCHOOL ! 100 PER CENT AMERICANISM To County School Superintendents: As you are doubtless aware, for the amount of $10.00, $5.00 for each boy, the county school superintendent or county agent in each county is per mitted to select two boys between the ages of 15 and 18 to attend the South eastern Fair School held annually in connection with the Southeastern Fair, Atlanta. These boys must be boys who have never attended , the Southeastern Fair School before. Each boy attending the Southeast ern Fair School for 1921 is requested to apply to the nearest local railroad passenger agent and purchase a round trip ticket to Atlanta and return. The Southeastern Fair Association will Re fund to each boy the full amount paid for the round trip ticket upon his arrival at the Southeastern Fair 'Grounds in Atlanta. The school begins Tuesday, October ISth, and continues to Saturday. Oc tober 22nd. Boys should leave home to arrive in Atlanta by Monday night, October 17 th. Each boy should take with him a pair of blankets or quilts, a pillow and pillow case if he wants them, tooth brush, towels, pair of overalls, cake of soap, comb and brush, rain coat or overcoat. The examination will be given at the County Court House by the County School Superintendent Saturday, Oc tober S. at 9 a. m. The bitter fight that is being waged between the Ku Klux Klan and a rival organization that has sprung into existence for the avowed purpose of crushing it is being carefully watched by many millions of Americans whose minds are as yet open on the sub ject. Shrewd observers are of the opir- ion that it. is to be a battle of giants, and the outcome is difficult to fore tell. But whatever the outcome, it is well for both sides to understand that this country does not desire people who can not conscientiously subscribe to the doctrines of “100 per cent Ameri- j canism,” regardless of who they may I be. The man who lives up to this doc- I trine will have nothing to fear from j any true American. The man who does not live up to it i is the enemy of every true American, There is no middle course. Notice to Teachers. Associational Letter Of Fayetteville Baptist Church noise. It is for your good and ours. Independent New Salesman (hotly)—“1 will take orders from no man!" Salesmanager (coldly)—“Yes, I noted that while you were on your trial trip."—Minneapolis Journal. Special examinations will be given on October S at 9 a. m. to those who | were unable to take the regular ex aminations in July. The licenses granted at this time will hold good only until the next regular examina tions in the summer of 1922. No one will be allowed to teach who has not proper license. All those who have licenses should see that they are properly recorded in the office of the County-. Superintendent. The letter shows substantial prog ress along three lines. The members are coming more and more to the use of the duplex envelope system of con tributions. The Sunday School reported 118 en rolled last year, with an average at tendance of 30; one organized class; no training class. This year 225 are enrolled; average attendance of 118; two organized classes; one normal class, resulting in issuing sixteen di plomas; school graded, and a month! y workers’ council. A Senior and a Junior Baptist Un ion, just organized, show fine pros pects for great sucess. G. W, GARNER. ever, vigorously defends his Klun against the attacks now made upon it. He says it does not countenance the acts of those who take the law in their hands. All Norway Loves Olaf Of all the royalty of Norway, the favorite with the Norwegians is Crown Prince Olaf. His popularity is im mense. He was eighteen years old last July and recently passed the ex aminations for entrance to the uni versity. He now has the right to at tend meetings of the cabinet, but 1ms no vote. From childhood lie has re ceived typically Norwegian training and has developed into a genuine son of the country of the vikings. He is tail*, handsome and an excellent 'sportsman, having won a number of prizes in ski jumping and sailing con tests. In the annual Norwegian der by, the Holmeukollen ski jumping competition, the crown prince is a reg ular participant. He attended a private, school where he was treated on an equal footing with the other pupils, and he is wholly free from any tendency to self-importance. When lie finishes a course at the Military Academy of Norway the crown prince will enroll as a student in the technical high school at Trondlijem to be educated as an engineer. Helper of Ex-Convicts Thirty-foot Cone of Ice. Wnter from a pressure pipe protrud- above the ground in the northern of New York state, gradually forming a natural cone of ice odd feet In height Every year thpusnnds of men and women, who have committed crimes, have been arrested, tried and con victed, and have served terms behind the bars, are released from prison and then, desiring to return to lives of honesty and usefulness, know not which way to turn. > If these ex-convicts are informed and wise, they quickly hunt up the nearest branch of the Prisoners’ Re lief society, which was founded about seven years ago by one who had him self “done time.” The secretary of the organization, Mrs. S. II. McIntyre, wh# is a well- known criminologist, says that In the city of Washington alone the society 1ms placed OOO ex-convicts in posi tions. One of them, formerly a safe cracker, is the trusted and respected cashier of a large corporation. In nil the society has helped over 56,000 men and women, and It also has looked after the families of man}’ prisoners, sustaining their courage and Iraotherlng Ideas of Injustice and revenge.
