“Over the top.” That’s the word.
You are helping your own blood
and kin when you buy Liberty Bonds
Have your subscription ready when
the Liberty Bond committees call tto
see you.
Help Buttß county to go over the
top. All together and let’s do the
job in one week.
Everybody is busy. To save time
and inconvenience let’s go over the
first week. All together.
The war is looking so good for the
allies now that every patriot should
buy bonds liberally and cheerfully.
One whole week is enough to raise
our share of bonds. Just a little team
work and loyalty will turn the trick.
Buy a bond for baby and make
the world a safe place for litle chil
dren to play and be “just children.”
The state convention which met in
Macon Thursday wws a very differ
ent gathering from that of four years
ago.
Let’s be just as good fighters over
here as the men over there. Come on
and let’s raise Butts county’s share
of bonds the first few days.
Women are doing a noble part in
helping to win the war. Asa rule
women are more patriotic than men.
War comes home closer to the moth
ers than anybody else. What is a lit
tle money compared to sons, husbands
and brothers?

WHERE’S THE COAL?
There is more coal in the state
of Georgia at this time than ev
er before at a corresponding
period of the year. People are
not taking any chances on “get
ting cold feet.”—Commerce
Observer.
This paragrph from the Commerce
paper, Commerce being the home of
the state fuel adpunistrutor, Dr. L.
G. Hardman, is highly interesting.
It may be listed as important if true.
But what we would like to know is,
inhere is the coal?
It is certain that there is not much
coal in Jackson. Some consumers
have been able to obtain a limited
quantity of the amount ordered,
while others have not the semblance
of coal. This, too, in view of the
fact that the cold weather season is
almost upon us.
What is the matter with the coal
situation? Where is the responsibil
ity for the empty bins? Does the
fuel administration intend for the
people of Georgia to face another
winter without coal? Have all other
communities secured their coal and
only Jackson and Butts county left
without a supply? The statement of
the Commerce newspaper is signifi
cant.
These questions are timely, impor
tant and suggestive. Whatever the
trouble is, it should be corrected at
the earliest moment possible. If
Jackson is not getting the coal the
people are entitled to receive then it
would seem now is the time for vig
orous protest and action.
The citizens of this community
want coal and want it now. They are
not kicking about the price. They
want coal. It is up to the local, state
and national fuel administration to
see that this community gets the full
quota of coal allowed.

THE JACKSON PROGRESS -ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1918
COTTON AND LIBERTY BONDS
That there was a bad feeling in
the South, following the talk of
price fixing for cotton, cannot be de
nied. Many farmers took the position
that they would not buy bonds if the
government set a price of less than
35 cents on cotton.
This, of course, was a mistaken
position. Liberty Bonds and support
of the government is not a question of
dollars and cents, but a question of
loyalty and patriotism. Regardless of
the price of cotton —and we here in
the South want to see the great sta
ple sell as high as possible—we must
support the government’s war pro
gram. The men “over there” are not
fighting for dollars and cents. The
government did not enter the war to
make money. We are all fighting,
those at home as well as those on the
battle front, for the great principle of i
freedom and liberty. This is not a]
money war, but a \u ar for individual
and national liberty and world wide
democracy.
So, regardless of the price of cot
ton, wheat, com, or any other pro
duct of the farm, mine or factory,
we must support the government
willingly and cheerfully.
Don’t let the question of cotton
prices keep you from buying bonds.
Remember the men, your own blood
and kindred, fighting over there.
These men must be supported, fed,
clothed and supplied with ammunition
and the sinews of war. To do this the
people left at home must buy the
government’s securities. If we at
home show the “vihite feather,” we
are slackers just the same as the
man on the battle front who throws
down his gun and runs from the en
emy. Thank heaven we have none of
that kind over there. Let’s see to it
that we have none of that kind over
here.
The government is not asking us
to give anything. We are only asked
to lend our money to the government.
Also, remember, that high priced
cotton is due to the war.
But cotton or no cotton, we must
buy bonds. If you let the talk of:
price fixing for cotton keep you from!
buying bonds, you are not the kind
of patriot you ought to be.
The government, it is officially an
nounced, will not fix any price on cot
ton. Now that that matter is settled
Butts county citizens, farmers, mer
chants, bankers, laborers, men, wo
men and children—all classes—
should rally to the Liberty Bond cam
paign and help to put the county
over the top in the shortest time pos
sible.
This is the duty we owe to our
o\un boys fighting in Europe. It is
the duty of patrots everywhere to
buy bonds to the limit of their re
sources.

WOMEN ALWAYS GREAT IN WAR
The “war mothers” are back
ing President Wilson to the limit
and are demanding the “uncon
tiional surrender” of the Ger
mans. The heroism of the Amer
ican women will be a big ele
ment in turning the balance
againt the Huns.—Valdosta
Times.
The women have in time past con
tributed more the war than men.
They bear the brunt of suffering.
They have the heartaches, pains and
sorrows and have to endure the awful
tragedies of war. The men can do the
actual fighting at the front, but the
women back home are already doing
more, in most instances, thaan the
men back home. Emulate the exam
pie of the women in their patriotic
work and the war will soon be won.—
Augusta Chronicle.

LIBERTY DAY
Saturday, October 12, is the four
hundred and twenty-sixty anniversary
of the discovery of America. Presi
dent Wilson has proclaimed it Liber
ty Day and requests the citizens of
of every community in the United
States—city, town and countryside—
to celebrate the day.
The President, in his proclamation,
says:
“Every day the great principles
for v.hich we are fighting take fresh
hold upon our thought and puryoses
and make it clearer what the end
must be and what we must do to
achieve it.
“We now know more certainly
than we ever knew before why free
men brought the great Nation and
Government we love into existence,
because it grows clearer and clearer
what supreme srvice it is to be Amer
ica’s privilege to render to the world”

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE
(By Dr. Frank Crane)
The City of the Future will be in
telligently planned, before a single
house is built or lot sold.
It will be absolutely co-operative.
The common good will rule.
The land will be owned in common.
All taxes vail be levied upon what
values a citizen receives from the
common good, such as location, elec
tricity, gas, water and transporta
tion. No taxes on individual wealth.
The iniquitious element in taxation
is the idea of taxing the results of a
man’s efficiency, i. e., taxing the
prosperous. Taxes ought to be simply
the price one pays to the community
for what he gets from the community.
The city will get its heat, electric
power, gas, transportation, water
and the like from municipally owned
works.
Every house, small or large, must
be beautiful, built under the city’s
direction, to harmonize with the city
plan.
No vacant lots. Every foot of
ground must be used, for beauty and
profit.
The business district must be as
beautiful as the residence district.
The city will own and operate its
schools, theaters, concert and amuse
ment halls, parks and playgrounds.
There vrill be enough hospitals for
the care of the sick, all owned by the
city.
All physicians and nurses shall be
employed by the city. Their main du
ty will be the prevention of disease.
They will be public officers, just as
are policemen.
It will not be a communistic nor a
Socialistic city, as each citizen must
eatn his own living, but all matters
of the common good will be con
trolled by the city.
Its aim will be to attract workers,
craftsmen, business men, professional
men, all kinds of and to
to the poorest of those all the advan
tages accruing from the communal
life.
The city will operate its own bank.
T here will be no private banks.
The city will be a joint-stock cor
poration, its shares selling at $5 each,
to be held by the citizens. All profits
over 6 per cent will revert to the city.
The principle governing the city
will be, the largest liberty in personal
affairs, and all communal affairs
managed by the city government.
In other words, it will be an or
ganized Democracy.

Coughed So He Couldn’t Sleep
Bronchial coughs, tickling in throat
and asthmatic spasms break one’s
rest and weaken one so that the sys
tem is run-down and serious sickness
may result. Enos Halbert, Paoli, Ind.,
writes: “I had a severe cold this fall
and coughed continually at night;
could hardly sleep. The first bottle of
Foley’s Honey and Tar relieved me,
entirely curing my cough.” It covers
irritated membranes with a healing
and soothing coating, looses phlegm
and cleats air passages. Carmichael
