Buy Liberty Bonds.
— -i
When in doubt buy Liberty Bonds.
Buy Liberty Bonds until you feel
it.
If you love the flay:, buy Liberty
Bonds.
What have you given up for your
country?
Now is the time to come to the aid
of the Liberty Bond campaign.
If you love your wife and children
and your home, buy Liberty Bonds.
Don’t stand back and wait for the
other fellow to. buy Liberty Bonds.
Set the example yourself.
The war has benefited southern
farmers tremendously. They are re
ceiving attractive prices for not only
cotton but all other crops. They
should buy liberally of Liberty Bonds.
The spectacle of a southern farmer
seeking a card to buy wheat is a com
mentary on our system of agriculture.
If the southern farmer wants wheat
he should produce it on his own farm.
Germany has already figured the
indemnity she will levy to pay her
war debt. If Germany wins God save
America. She will not win if every
man does his duty. Buy Liberty
Bonds.
When the war is over the man who
has a Liberty Bond will be mighty
proud of it. He will have a sure and
safe investment and best of all he
will have the satisfaction of knowing
he helped his country.
Let’s get down to brass tacks and
subscribe Butts county’s share of the
Liberty Bonds and be over with it.
The bonds should have been taken the
first day. Why hum and haw and de
lay? The bonds must be bought or
we will be financial slackers. Are
you ready to line up for your coun
try? i
Just u number of people are willing
to take anything the government
gives them—good roads, better sani
tation, increased educational facilities,
liberty, freedom and the pursuit of
pleasure—but are not willing to do a
solitary thing for the government. In
fact a lot of people are hogs and don’t
realize it.
The mills of the gods grind slow
but exceedingly fine. After a year of
preparation the United States will
soon be in a position to throw her full
strength into the war. It is not a
question of how the war will end—
for we must wen or lose all—but how
soon will the war end. Your co-ope
ration will help end fh'e war and
bring back our boys from Europe. [
Are you not willing to do something
to help in this great crisis? Buy Lib- 1
erty Bonds.
THE JACKSON PP.OCRSSS-/JCUS. -V-—ON. CCCT.C-A. !y!RY. APRIL 19. ISIS
BUTTS COUNTY MUST GET BUSY
The campaign for Batts coanty’s
quota of $161,800 of Liberty Bonds is
not progressing in a way to insure
success. There is a punch lacking
some where.
We read that other towns and cities
subscribed and oversubscribed their
allotment the first day. This has not
been true here. With the exception
of the first day or two the campaign
has lacked push and driving povier.
Possibly a third of the county’s quota
has been subscribed. If we are to go
aver the top we must put more driv
ing power behind the campaign.
Co-operation and concentration
seems to be thing necessary. The
county chairman has been left large
ly to manage the campaign. He has
done well—has done all that one man
could do under the conditions. He has
not, however, received the support
of the executive committee in the
manner it should have been extended.
The local committee is a strong one,
composed of substantial and well
known business and professional men
and farmers. Members of the commit
tee are either to busy with their own
affairs or entirely indifferent to give
the matter the consideration its im
portance demands.
This is no time to pursue selfish
and business ends while the nation’s
business is allowed to suffer. The
United States must have the money
to carry on the war. The country is
going to have the money. Nobody
need worry over that fact. The big
question is V4 ; ll the people buy bonds
or will they be taxed to raise the
mtfney?
Butts county's quota is not large in
proportion to her wealth and resour
ces. People are finding money enough
to invest in other things. When pleas
ure is concerned, when selfish pur
poses are involved, the money is
forthcoming. Now it is the cuntry’s
callj that we must heed.
To fall down on our quota will be
a shame and disgrace. The bonds
must be bought. We must buy them
for patriotic and business reasons. We
must buy them to show our hearts
are in the war and that we are back
ing up our boys over there in the
trenches. We must buy them even if
it pinches—and God knows nobody
around here has made any real sac
rifices yet for the country.
It is up to the people of Butts
county to get behind the Liberty Bond
campaign with all their might and
power. It is up to the executive com
mittee to back up their county chair
man. It is up to the members of the
committee to take a few hours—or
days—-from their business and stop
chasing the dollar long enough to
put the deal through.
If our armies at the front were
made up of the same stuff as some of
us back home they might throw down
their guns and run when they see the
Germans. But the boys over there
w-ill do their duty, whether that duty
leads to glory or the grave. Will the
people back home do their duty?
Let’s shuck off our coats and roll
up our sleeves, every mother’s son of
us, and stay with this campaign un
til our quota is subscribed.
The attitude of the people back
home has a great effect on the soldiers
at the front. In fact the war will be
won by the civillian population that
holds out the longest. Are you doing
anything to support and cheer the
boys in the trenches? If not, what
sort of an American are you?
In a stinging editorial, “Slacker
Stain," The Macom Telegraph hit
the Macon tightwads who refuse to
buy Liberty Bonds. Macon and At
lanta, both of which have army
camps, should, of all cities in the
country, buy Liberty Bonds gener
j ously. These camps have meant much
to these cities.
So William Schley Howard has en
tered the senatorial race. He is an
other “administration” candidate.
When W. D. Upshaw said this was a
“mule race," he spoke a parable.
Perhaps donkey race would be better.
A lot of the small fry must be weeded
out. Georgia needs her big men in
the senate. A lot of minnows are nib
bling at the bait. The entries have
not closed yet and other candidates
are likely to enter the free-for-all at
any time.
Investigations by the department
of Agiculture in 15 states show that
of a total of 6,836,492 sheep, 34,683
were killed by dogs in one year and
vore paid for by the counties.
WHAT A RECORD TO DEFEND
Senator T. W. Hardwick run
“on .'general principles’’ but he can
hardly afford to run on his record.
To think that he succeeded a man
like Senator A. O. Bacon, one of the
towering figures in the senate, and
one of Georgia’s most profound states
men of the last generation. And to
think that he announced for Senator
Bacon’s seat almost before the dis
tinguished senator’s body was cold in
death.
How can Senator Hardwick justify
his position on the parcel post? How
can he explain his vote on the sugar
question? Has’nt he all along shown
that he was friendly to the express
and railroad companies and the steel
trust? Senator Hardwick pays no
tax in Georgia except a professional
tax. Possibly he has been friendly
with these “interests” for campaign
expenses.
And now he is found lined up
against President Wilson and the
forces fighting for the liberty and
freedom of the world. Can he justify
that position before the honest man
hood of Georgia? Will our voters,
who have sons and brothers in the
conflict stand to have treason flaunt
ed in their faces.
Calling people who disagree with
him “common, ordinary liars” will
not get the junior senator anything.
This year he must answer to the peo
ple. There will not be a steam roller
convention to put him through. He
must meet the issue squarely. The
voters will not be blinded by abuse
and vituperation. He must stand or
fall by his record.
What a record to defend!
LIBERTY AND LABOR
The hope of labor lies in the oppor
tunities for freedom; military domi
nation, supervision, checks, bondage,
lie in Prussian rule.
It is not through a German regime
but through democracy that labor is
to receive adequate recognition and
its realization of its rightful place in
the world.
you CAN’T FiNO ANY
DANDRUFF, AND HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT
Save Your Hair! Make it
Thick, Wavy, Glossy and
Beautiful at Once
Try as you will, after an applica
tion of Danderine, you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be af
ter a few weeks’ use, when you see
nw hair, fine and downy at first—
yes—but really new hair—growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle,
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is imme
diate and amazing—your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and lux
uriance, the beauty and shimmer of
true hair health.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any—
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment. A small trial
bottle will double the beauty of your
hair. advt.
THE BIGGEST KNOCK TO JACK
SON
Down at the Southern Railway sta
tion is a little plot of ground of a
few square feet, directly across the
entrance to the station, which seems
to be a little trap set for unsuspecting
strangers, who are held up and fleeced
by the station agent and a city po
liceman, because they unconsciously
set foot on this precious plot covered
with manure. The plot has no fence
or legible warning. If the city gov
ernment is aware of this it must in
deed be hard pressed with funds to
collaborate with the station agent in
a hold-up of such puny proportions.
The writer who was here on a visit to
parents and friends was caught in the
little trap and relieved by the station
agent and a policeman and has since
learned that he is by no means the
only victim of this hold-up of the
a.range* within yojir gates.

there’s nothing that tastes

it raw.

used in LUCKY STRIKE Ciga- /

PRISONERS IN GERMANY DON’T
LOSE RIGHTS WAR INSURANCE
American soldiers and sailors in
German prison camps prior to April
12, 1918, will not be deprived of their
rights to war-risk insurance because
of inability to make personal applica
tion, provided such application is
made in their behalf.
According to a statement by the
Secretary of the Treasury, applica
tions for insurance may be made in
behalf of such prisoners by persons
within the permitted class of benefic
iaries under the military and naval
insurance law. This class includes
wife, child, parent, brother, or sister.
Application should be made to the
Bureau of War-Risk Insurance, at
Washington, D. C.
