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? G. W. GARNER, Fayetteville Baptist (Church, Sunday, Dec. 10, A. M. 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. neassuring.

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.” —Exchange.

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.

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.

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.

SNIP SUBSIDY EILL HARD NIT IN SENATE FAYETTEVILLE HIGH WINS SEVEN STRAIGHT GAMES 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.” Fayetteville High School won her | seventh straight victory against the strong Jonesboro team Friday after- ; noon with a score of 15 to 14.
