Calcium Arsenate Peddler Car Will Be Here Monday A., B, & A. Tracks
STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL
DRIVE STARTS NEXT MONDAY
COFFEE CO.’S QUOTA IS SI,OOO
MRS. J. ROD DAVIS, COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN, WILL LEAD DRIVE.
COOPERATION IS NEEDED IN
- WEEK’S WORK
Next week starts the drive in Cof
fee county for our quota for the great
Stone Mountain Memorial, which is
SI,OOO. Gov. Walker has named Mrs.
J. Rod Davis as chairman for this
county. She has a committee with
hf:r, all doing excellent work, and the
real campaign or enrollment begins
Monday corning and closes Saturday
bight.
This will be the final appeal of the
Stone Mountain Confederate Monu
mental Association, to get the child
ren of Coffee county enrolled for the
Memorial as a demonstration of love
and devotion to the few remaining
veterans of the gray, and it will be
a monument for all time to come to
the' confederacy of Coffee county, Ga.
The Enterprise wants to again urge
our people to respond to this call.
We bought liberty bonds on every
drive to help carry -on the war, then
why can we afford to not buy now in
this small way to commemorate the
confederate dead, those who made as
valiant a fight as any World War vet
eran, and at a time when fighting
meant sacrifice.
The following communication from
the Coffee county committee is self
explanatory. »
CHILDREN’S FOUNDERS ROLL.
With the SI,OOO Founders Roll sug
gested by Mrs. Mary Borglum, for all
who are able to place their loved hero
upon the bronze tablets- in Memorial
Hall, and the Children’s Founders Roll
of SI.OO each in honor of a Confeder
ate hero, there will be no need that any
Confederate soldier’s name, army or
navy, shall be omitted.
Let no child of Confederate lineage
ask in years to come, “Why was my
name omitted from the Memory Book ?
Why is not the name of my grand
father and great uncles there?”
One child may enroll any number
of ancestors or relatives in his of her
name by paying SI.OO for each en
rollment.
Governor Walker has designated the
week of April 20 to 26 as Stone Moun
tain Confederate Memorial Week and
has urged especially the enrollment
of the children of the South, as a
Memorial Day demonstration for the
living veterans.
Do not fail to enroll your child or
children. The schools of Coffee coun
ty should enroll every child in school.
Send in your applications to:
Mrs. J. Rod Davis, chairman.
Mrs. L. E. Heath.
Miss Marie Wooten.
Mrs. Turner Brewer, treasurer.
MRS. WINTER’S APPEAL.
Through the Children’s Founders
Roll chairman, Mrs. Rogers Wnter, of
Atlanta, the following appeal is being
made everywhere.
“Dear Southerners: Will you help
to make a success of the Memorial
Day enrollment of the children of the
South by sending in the names of
children everywhere for The Child
ren’s Founders Roll of the Stone Moun
tain Confederate Memorial?
“The Children’s Founders Roll was
inaugurated by the Stone Mountain
Confederate Monumental Association
in order that the children of the South
migh have a share in the carving of
the greatest monument that the world
has ever known.
“It provides for the enrollment of
white children under eighteen years
of age in the Great Book of Memory,
which will occupy the place of honor
in Memorial Hall at Stone Mountain;
and for the memorialization of Con
federate soldiers whom they wish to
honor.
“Each child who makes a contribu
tion will receive a small bronze medal,
designed by Gutzon Borglum, show
ing that he is one of the founders of
the memorial, and later, when his
name has been inscribed in the great
volume of The Children’s Founder's
Roll, he will receive a certificate show
ing the number of the page and the
line on which his name appears.
“One dollar was named as the child
ren’s contribution because the Asso
ciation feels that it is small enough
to enable every child in the South to

able to suggest something of interest
to all women who attend. Printed

STATE EXPERTS I

STATE LECTURERS WILL ADVISE
FARMERS AS TO USE OF POIS
ON, ALSO OTHER INFORMA
TION. ALL FREE.
An event of great importance to
farmers will take place in Douglas
next Monday when the Calcium Arse
nate car will arrive for the day, com
ing in over the A., B. & A. Railroad.
The road calls it a Peddler car, and
it will carry calcium arsenate to be
sold to the farmers of Coffee county.
The car will be side tracked here for
the day.
This arrangement has been made
with the railroad by the Georgia State
Board of Entomology for the accom
modation of the growers of cotton,
enabling them to buy this boll weevil
poison, which has been endorsed by
the government, in lots of 100 pounds
and up. It wll be sold right at the
car for cash only at 12 cents per pound
which is cheaper than you can order
it.
In addition to being able to buy this
poison, there will be special state lec
turers present who will give talks
about what the calcium arsenate will
do when properly used. It is claimed
that a normal crop of cotton may be
gi'own if the arsenate is used accord
ing to the directions given at the car
by men who are employed by the state.
The car will arrive here Monday
morning, April 21, and remain for the
entire‘day. It will be in Fitzgerald
on the following day. For further in
formation about the car, see County
Agent Bussey, or Mr. Conner, local
agent of the A., B. & A.
This is a great opportunity for our
farmers who expect to grow any cot
ton this year. It is no new remedy
for the weevil as it has been used for
several years and is backed up by the
s‘ate and government as being the
best possible boll weevil poison. This
peddler car gives anyone a chance to
provide themselves with as much as
they desrie at a great savings, but
best of all is the information given ai.
the car by experts who know, as to the
use of it, as well as growing cotton
under existing conditions.
REST ROOM REPAINTED.
The rest room has recently been re
pain’.ed and presents a much more at
tractive appearance. The new matron,
Mrs. W. H. King, and Mrs. P. N. Smith
chairman of the rest room committee
have planted flowers on the vacant
lot next to it. This will be an added
attraction to that corner.
POOETBY CAR RERE
THIS AFTERNOON
In order to encourage poultry pro
duction and in order to be of assis
tance to the farmers of Georgia thru
which its line runs, the Georgia and
Florida Railway has inaugurated a
Poultry Car Service during the first
part of April. Poultry experts will
accompany the movement of these
cars. Buyers will be on hand pre
pared to pay cash and full value for
the poultry offered by the farmers.
The car will arrive in Douglas next
Thursday, April 17, at 3:20 p. m., and'
remain here for the balance of the
afternoon. It will leave for Hazle
hurst on train No. 92, and be at West
Green at 8 p. m., on Friday, April 18,
at Denton, same date, at 8:25 a. m.
The car will arrive here from Willa
coochee, leaving there at 1:25 p. m.
All the farmer will have to do is to
meet this train with his poultry and
receive the spot cash right there at
the car. The train will remain long
enough at each station to receive,
weigh up, and pay for all poultry of
fered. Ask Mr. John Bankston, the
local agent, on next Thursday about
the car, and he will advise you just
what minute the car will arrive. He
will also give you further informa
tion about it.
The Georgia and Florida Railway
is to be commended for this progres
sive movement. It will materially
aid the farmer and proves conclusive
ly that the G. &. F. stands ready to
cooperate with the farmers along their
line of road.
