VOLUME XXXIII.
FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 15, 1922.
NUMBER 22.
NINE REASONS
Why I Attend Church
Every Sunday.
tm
1— Because I can—by, purposing and
planning ahead.
2— Because I should not break my en
gagement with the pastor.
3— Because of the good I receive:
(a) Rest from the daily routine for
my triune nature.
(b) Food for my mental, moral and
spiritual nature.
(c) Fellowship with My Lord and
His people.
4— Because of the good I can do by
church .going:
(a) I vote for the existence and
welfare of the greatest insti
tution in the world, and the
only divine institution in exist
ence. It stands against all
that is evil, and for all that
is good.
(b) Because my presence will en
courage, to an extent, all the
workers and leaders.
(c) My presence in His sanctuary
wU,l be well pleasing in His
sight.
5— Because it fulfills, to that extent,
my church and my baptismal vow,
which is immutable.
6— Because, in a majority of cases,
I have no reason for not going that
will standi in the judgment.
7— Because it is Christlike to attend
church every Sunday. “As His cus
tom was, He went into the syna
gogue on the Sabbath day.”
8— Because it will help my town and
community every way. A low
state of morals and religion wiped
Sodom and Gomorrah off the map.
9— Because God has commanded me
to attend church.
“As ye have opportunity do good
to all men.” Suppose nobody
attended this good institution,
the church, what would become
of it and the world?
“Forsake not the assembling of
yourselves together as the man
ner of some is.” How will you!
answer iij the judgment for fail
ure to attend church?

THE CRAWFORD
LONG MEMORIAL
Its Claim on Every
Georgian.
All Georgians should covet a part,
how modest soever, in the plans of the
Crawford W. Long Memorial Assoclar
tion to place in the capital at Wash
ington a statue to the memory of that
beneficent genius who discovered the)
anesthetic power of ether. Of all who
have made history for this common
wealth, from the days of Oglethorpe
to the present hour, few have wrought
so well and none perhaps so rarely
as the young doctor of the village of
Jefferson, who demonstrated more than
feighty years ago -that surgery could
be rendered painless.
In mere justice, apart from patriot
ism, the people of his birth state should
set to it that his name is worthily e»-
shrined within the nation’s view. The
honor which belongs irrefutably to him
has been claimed for others; and while
competent students of the question, in
cluding medical societies the world
over, recognize Doctor Long’s priority,
there are multitudes of minds not yet
informed or not fully assured. It is
due the public of America, as well as
the memory of. this beloved Georgian
and great discoverer, that the truth be
nationally proclaimed by a permanent)
and fitting testimonial.
This is the object of the Crawford
W. Long Memorial Association. It haa
already in hand a substantial part of
the fund needful to place a creditable
statue in the hall of fame at Washing
ton. Its enterprise^ has, moreover, the
(cordial indorsement of civic, scientific,
'educational and patriotic bodies, includ
ing the Daughters of the American,
Revolution, the Daughters of the Con
federacy and the Georgia Federation
of Women's Clubs. The particular and
imperative need, however, is for sub
scriptions. Let these, whether small
or large, come promptly forth from
all regions of the state asi a tribute
to a great Georgian and a benefactor
of humankind.

She rang the door bell. There was

A third time she pressed the button,

A NEW
MARRIAGE
CEREMONY
, ( In the northwest corner of Turner
county, Tennessee, lives an Irish mag
istrate, a man of liberaj education and
full-, quota) of that mother wit for
which his country is remarkable. <
A short time ago a colored pair,
named Jim and Bet, called upon him
to be united for better or worse (prob
ably the latter). Having had some no
tice of ftheir coming, he prepared and
used this ceremony:
i
“Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
To love and cherish
Till one of you perish,
- Aud laid under the sod,
So help yob God?”
Jim, having ^answered in the affirm
ative, the Esquire then turned to Bet:
“Bet, will you take Jim,
And cling to | him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin,
Holding to your heart,
Until death doiyou part?”
Bet modestly acknowledged that she
would. So the couple were dismissed
with the following words:
“All through life’s alternate joys and
strife, ,
I now pronounce you man and wife;
Go up life’s hill till you get on the
level;
Now, salute your bride, you rusty
black devil.”

to accept him as her future husband
she blackens her teeth as a sign that
he may begin negotiations with her

TWO AMERICAN SUGAR MILL
BOILERS REPORTED TO
HAVE EXPLODED
25 ARE BURIEDIN WRECKAGE
Many Workmen Injured — Thirteen
Bodies Recovered—Most Of The
Victims Are Spaniards
Havana, Cuba.—One hundred work
men were killed or injured in a boiler
explosion which wrecked the Estrella
sugar mill, near Camaguey.
Thirteen bodies have been recovered,
and forty injured persons are being
cared for in Camaguey. Most of the
victims are Spaniards.
Two of the sugar company’s boilers
are reported to have exploded simulta
neously. At least twenty-five of the
men employed in the boiler room are
thought to have been buried under the
wreckage or killed by flying debris.
Two of forty injured men brought
to Camaguey died in the hospital.
Others of the wounded are said to be
in a critical condition.
A detachment of troops from Cama
guey, and hundreds, of volunteers are
working to remove victims from the
ruins.
The Estrella Central is owned by the
Compania Central Azucarera, an Amer
ican corporation, which has headquar
ters in Havana. Last year the Cen
tral produced 227,000 sacks of sugar.
JOHN WANAMAKER HAS
CROSSED GREAT DIVIDER
World-Famous Merchant Passes Away
at Philadelphia Home—He Was
Eighty-Four Years Old
Philadelphia..—Funeral services for
John Wanamaker, internationally fam
ous merchant and former postmaster
general, who passed away here, were
held in Bethany Presbyterian church,
located in a neighborhood once pros
perous but no longer suggestive of
either beauty or wealth. In that edi
fice, which long has been known fa
miliarly both by those who worshiped
there and others as “John Wanamak-
er’s church,,” the body of the mer
chant prince lay in state for two
hours. The interment was private, in
the family vault in the picturesquely
situated cemetery of St. James the
Less. Rev. A. Gordon McLenon, pas
tor of Bethany church, conducted serv
ices both in the church and at the
vault.
WILSON AND COLBY
LAW PARTNERSHIP
TO BE DISSOLVED
New York.—Bainbridge Colby, secre
tary of §tate in President Wilson’s cab
inet, announces that his law partner
ship with the former .president will ter
minate December 31, at the expiration
of their co-partnership agreement. The
announcement was made from the of
fices of Wilson & Colby. Beyond say
ing that the former president is turn
ing “his energies once to subjects
which have long invited him,” Mr. Col
by made no statement as to Mr. Wil
sons plans. It is announced that Mr.
Colby will continue the practice of
law in this city.
Attack Is Planned On Moonshiners
Covington, Ky.—Preparations to
mass five hundred prohibition agents,
equipped with bombing planes and
machine guns for an onslaught, on the
mountain stronghold of “Bob” Bal
lard’s band of Menifee county moon
shiners, are being made by federal
authorities, according to three offic
ials who returned to Covington from
Mount Sterlin recently. They had
been a part of the posse of 50 prohi
bition agents who were repulsed after
R. E. Duff and David Treadwlll, pro
hibition agents, had been killed.
Farmer And Wife Found Murdered
Middletown, Ind.—William Slieffer, 35
years old, a farmer, and his wife, were
found murdered here. Mrs. Sheffer’s
head had been cut off, presumably by
an axe, and Sheffer’s head was split
open. The bodies were found by pass
ing farmers. The condition of the
house indicated robbery was the prob
able cause. Neighbors last saw Shef-
fer at work on his farm the day be
fore the discovery of the murder.
Wa^r Fraud Records .Stolen, Is Charged
Washington.—The? charge that war
fraud records in the department of jus
tice had been stolen before the pres
ent administration took control was
made on the flood of the house by Rep-
Xsentative Knutson of Minnesota. Rep
resentative Hill of Tennessee demanded
*o know who had given Mr. Knutson in
formation that the records were miss
ing. Knutson declared “a high offi
cial” of the department had told him
that valuable records in connection
with war frauds prosecution were mys
teriously missing.
MINING INDUSTRY CROWDED
Existing Soft Coal Mines Can Produce
Double The Amount Required
Per Year
Washington.—Studies of the United
States coal commission already have
developed the conclusion among its
members that the bituminous coal min
ing industry in the United States is
overdeveloped, and that good business
and good citizenship require investors
to escape from embarking upon new
coal mining operations, according to a
statement made public recently. Ex
cept in a few localities, where trans
portation conditions may modify the
general rule, the commission asserted
increased mining activity will do harm.
The present excessive coal mining ca
pacity, the commission further said,
“cannot for long lower the price of coal
simply because that conditions of
things is wasteful.
“Too many soft coal mines and too
many miners describes the situation
in plain English,” the commission’s
statement said. “In these coal mines
more capital is invested and more
miners are, employed than are needed
to produce the coal the country re
quires. This condition, of course, in
volves waste on a country-wide scale.
“How to deflate the coal industry is
one of the many problems before the
commisssion. It seems plain enough,
however, that the industry should not
be further inflated by opening new
mines.”
Existing bituminous mines, the state
ment continued, can produce, theoret
ically, a billion tons of coal per year
while the country consumes only a
half-billion tons. The result in some
places is to bring about, the commis
sion said, a “mine-working time which
is too short to pay-adequately either
owners or miners.”.
To Resume Probe Of ^Gasoline Co3t
Washington.—Investigation of t oil
and gasoline prices will be resumed
by .the senate manufacturers’ sub-com
mittee, it was announced by Chair
man La Follette. The inquiry was be
gun last summer but was discontinued
when congress adjourned in Septem-
ber.^ Chairman La Follette said it
was expected to call th^L officials of
some of the larger qomp&$nhs tortes^ify
soon and later to summon the ouieers
of the smaller companies and the rep
resentatives of other lines of business
and organizations as well as individ
uals having a direct intei’est 'in the
subject of investigation.
Flood Legislation To Be Presented
Washington.—Legislation affecting
flood-'control on the Mississippi river
is being discussed here by the direc
tors of the Mississippi River Flood
Control Association preparatory to the
appearance of spokesmen for the or
ganization before a house committee.
It has been decided to make the pend
ing Humphries-Wilson bill the basis
for discussion before the committee.
Aside from the flood control question,
the house committee will take up the
question of navigation on the Missis
sippi and Ohio.
Airmen Searching For Missing Fliers
Nogales, Ariz.—Four United States
airplanes, under command of Capt. R.
G. Ervin, penetrated Mexico to a depth
of eighty miles in an extension of the
search for Cok Francis C. Marshall
and Lieut. C. L. Webber. The four
planes cross the border not far from
Nogales, Captain Ervin stated on his
return, flew due south to Magdalena,
then turned west for a distance of six
ty miles and returning re-entered the
United States near Ruby, west of No
gales, late in the afternoon.
Fort Pierce.—A training course for
Boy Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmas
ters and leaders is to be conducted in
Fort Pierce one night each w r eek for a
period of eight weeks, under the sup
ervision of Thomas B. Marsh, Jr., Boy
Scout executive for the East Coast
council with headquarters at West
Palm Beach and including the coun
ties of Palm Beach, Broward, St. Lucie
and Okeechobee. The course is also
to be conducted during the same period
at West Palm Beach and Fort Lauder
dale.

SENATOR FLETCHER LEADS DEM-
OCRATIC OPPOSITION TO HAR
DING’S PET MEASURE
DEMOCRATS START ATTACK
Senator Harrison Denies Any ■ntention
On Part Of Democratic Minority
To Engage In Filibuster
Washington. — The administratiol
shipping bill was taken up recently by
the senate and was subjected immedi
ately to a baptism of fire by Democrat
ic members. ,
Chairman Jones of the commerce
committee, which reported the bill after
making several changes in the house
draft, called up the measure. His open
ing statement in behalf of the legisla
tion, however, went over, because of the
time consumed by the Democrats in
several attacks on the measure and
by the reading of the bill, and both ma
jority and minority reports in com
pliance with a demand by Senator
Fletcher of Florida, ranking Demo
cratic member of the commerce com
mittee.
The Democrats started their attack
as soon as Chairman Jones made his
first move in the legislative struggle
which is expected to occupy the senate
for some time. Senator Jones pro
posed first that the senate proceed
to immediate consideration of the ship
bill, but objection from the Democratic
side blocked this move until after the
regular calendar had been disposed of.
The commerce committee next sugest-
ed that the senate meet an hour ear
lier, but withdrew the proposal in the
fact of objections that this would in
terfere with committee activities.
Republican supporters of the bill
rather expected an attempt by the
Democrats to prevent the taking up of
the bill, but the motion was carried
without a dissent on a viva voce vote.
The next move by Senator Jones—a
proposal that the senate on quitting
. .-Work recess instead of adjourn, in
order to expedite' consideration of the
bill—was used by the Democrats as a
vehicle of attack on ‘the administra
tion policy with respect to the measure
on the legislation itself. The pro
posal later was ruled out of order on
a point raised by Senator Harrison,
Democrat, of Mississippi.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas led
the attack with a criticism of the ad
ministration’s course in postponing
house action until after the elections
on what he described as “concededly
unpopular legislation” and then in
bringing pressure to bear to hasten en
actment of the legislation “before the
members of congress have had a
chance to reflect on the expression
of the people at the polls in Novem
ber.”
