"No history can ever tell all of t] Great War. No indivudal can tell half oi It aud he wouldn't be believed if ha did tell, it,” says Sergt. Earl E. Pugh, juft back from overseas. "But my hat is off to the went into the trenches with his riflajq his hand nnd to the man with the chiue guu aud the artillery in the They did the work : the rest only helped.' I)r. Pugh received his discharge St Ft. Oglethorpe .Tuue 28 and arrived at New port News June 20 after nine months and nine days service overseas. He went from Tifton, 'where he was with Brooks Pharmacy, to Camp Greenleaf, S. 0,i where he was mustered in June 19, 1918. He sailed for Frauce September 1. On the transport going over Dr. Pugb had charge of the dispensary, and wss signed to Base Hospital No. G4. Soon afte r arrival in France this unit was sta tioned at Riuiaeourt. This was about equal distance from Nancy and Meta. There with one brief vacation, he remain ed until shortly before he wss sent home. Dr Pugh is a close observer, and ha talks readily and very interestingly of wb: he saw. The base hospital was not far behind the American lines and Dr. Pugh aafs that trainload after trainload of wounded, mangled and gassed men from the front poured in there day and night while ac- ive fighting was in pro^.w. "These men were shot all to pieces, gtMd and some so dirty that you could not Ml a white ma n from a negro.” he said. *At first it was trying but after awhile we got used to it as men can get used to almost everything else. But it was an awful sight, and one that a fellow will never forget. "The Germans are a good deal like onr negroes. We had many prisoners and had to work them just as we work onr negroes here. They were well educated but seemed stupid. Many could speak English but they did not understand readi ly. We had many Gagman wounded among our patients and savaral of these said they wanted to come ti America to live when they got well. Wf guide it plain that they would not be welcome. “The boys at the hospital gave Christmas tree on Christmas day to the French children in RimScourt There wjis a gift on the tree for every child in the town and trucks were sent over to bring them in. It was a great day for all of us. It was comparatively easy to pick up the French language and I soon got to where I could speak it well enoguh to get along any where. "A delightful experience was m Vaca tion which I spent at Nice and Monts Carlo, the latter portion af the Hotel New York. I saw Prince Grimaldi, of Monaco, wb 0 lectured at the Y M O A. He speaks five languages fluently and im pressed us as being an able and conser vative man. He is said to be one of the greatest scientists in ths world and spends'nearly all of his time on his yacht in the harbor. "The casino, where millions of francs change hands every-day, is a place of ^oridSrfhl beauty With-it* paintings, sta tuary, carvings 'tffltf'gtrdfcns. But one of the moSf'fotVrVAalng things I saw on the triji‘was 1 the' Oceanographic museum at tf date Carlo. Of equal interest was the tulns of old cities near by, some dating back to the time of the Roman Empire These ruins are remarkably well preser ved.

It is a city within itself. We had comfortable quarters, music, moving pic tures, and a good time all the way across.?* Dr. Pugh was one of seven brothers in service.

NEAR 3000[PEOPLE ATTEND HOYALSING Great Gathering Sal irday and Sunday. Mystic Made Per umrnt Home of Royal Slnginj Convention. The 27th annual Singing Convention ssion of the Royal Irwin county waa held at Mystic Sattt day aud Sunday, July 19-20. It was generally conceded by the Convention progjpr and the public, that it was the best Mssiou in the history of the organization. !j The business scssiop on Saturday, the reports from classes, ’schools taught and progress made iu vocal music of the coun ty, were very gratifying to the public and reflected much qoldit on the teachers and leaders of this gfrat work. The President, W. J. Royal, for whom the Convention was . named, by him or- ganized and nursed from infancy to its present nge, culled the Convention .> to order each day and stressed the gospel Id? terett of the work at all times through out the two sessions. Seven organised classes, with a membership of something more than 200 composed only a part of this Convention. Irwin county proper, with its neigh bora are strong supporters In appreciation of the service and work of the President, W. J. Royal, whose life has been spent in the work, a free will offering of $117.75t «was made him at the Sunday session of the Convention. Mystic, the wide awake little town very near the center of the county, offer ed to -build> the Convention a tabernacle with a seating capacity of 0,000 people as a permanent home for the Convention and gave an invitation to the convention to hold the 1920 session with them in the tabernacle next year. The proposition was accepted. Judge J. B. Clements and John M. Willis opened with a subscrip tion of $100 each for the structure, work ou which will begin at once. Conventions from other counties: Cof fee, Dooly, Tift, Berrien, Ben Hill, Crisp and Cook sent delegates whose reports showed marked improvement and a mani fest interest in the vocal music of this section of Georgia. There were from 2,000 to 3,000 iieople at the Sunday sessi on and good order prevailed through the cutire day. The dinner ut each uoou hour for the two days, if we must judge by bountiful supply aud of most excellent quality, showed that there is u,> omhargi on food in Irwin county. Ex-R. BATES SUCCEEDS COLEMAN As Manager for Chutchwell's Store Tifton Effectives July 1 Mr. B. H. Bates has succeeded Mr. (>. W. Coleman as manager for Church- well's store at Tifton, the change going into effect July 1. Mr. Coleman has been out of Church- well’s since April 1, getting a ninety day leave of absence to look after his plant business. He asked that the resignation be made permanent and hit request waa granted. Mr. Bates who baa been managing the •tore since April 1, will continue as man ager. He la aa experienced merchant and a hustler and will moke Church well’s a good manager. He has already demoa- strated his ability as manager during Mr. Coleman's absence. ChurchweU’s store here ia now beim remodeled and when tha work now un der way ia completed, this will be one of the handsomest and most up-to-date stores in the state. - About 25,000 Pounds Sold Here Wednea- dgy-at Prices Averaging is i.g Cents X * a Pound. With sules totaliug about 25,000 pounds at prices averaging 18 1-2 cents a pound, the Tifton tobacco market opened Wed nesday. Wet weather cut the opening sale here down to a considerable extent, many fnthuers being unable to get their to town ou account of the rains : weather also caused the prices be aMiJtle below what they would be dry weather. The second sale will be held Tuesday of next week, beginning at 10:30 o'clock Two sales will be held here each week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning at 10:30 o’clock. Sales will be held ofteuer if they are found necessary. Seven buyers had representatives at Thursday’s sale. They were:Export To bacco Co., Liggett & Myers, Imperial To bacco Co., J. P. Taylor Co., J. M. Ed- mouds & Co, W. E. Finney Tobacco C( Dibberel Bros. Some lots offered were in such poor col ditiou that no sale was made. The best grades brought good prices. The price puid was based on the quality of leaf, grading, curing, etc. Some growers did not grade their tobacco and the good grade, of course, went at the low price hen it was all offered together. The managers of the local warehouse id a force of men busy Thursday morn ing packing the tobacco purchased in large hogsheiids, which hold from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, for shipment to the curing houses of the purchasers. Mr. W. W. Webb, representing the State Bureau of Markets , said that the verage price paid here was better than thi average price at other sales aud that the price jmid here would have been better if there had not been so much rain, which injures the tobacco for shipmeut and of ten causes the buyers loss. Mr. O. H. Wykoff was auctiouee r and was the right man. He was the life of the sale aud kept things going. Fenner A Smith, the new managers, to gether with the tobacco men present, con sider the sale a mighty good one, and the opening splendid. Weather conditions considered, the prices averaged near 2 cents a pound better than at other mar kets this season. Tobacco is very sensi tive to weather conditions, dampness often causing rot after it is packed in bales. With good weather in prospect fo r next Tuesday, affording the farmers an oppor- unity to get their tobacco to market, a big sale and good prices may be expected. Change In Management. Tuesday the owners of the Tifton tobac- > warehouse canceled their contract with E. L. Morgan it Company and contracted with Wt E. Fenner, who took charge of the-warehonse Wednesday arriving here just, after noon. Mr. Fenner has charge of the Asbburn tobacco warehouse and is making a success of it He is from Rocky Mount, N. C., where he sells 8,- 000,000 pounds of tobacco every season. He is. regarded as amc~ the best ware housemen in the huaiuMi and stands high with the tobacco trait He was first brought to this territory tfcfffCgh the efforts of the Industrial Department of the Southern Railway .and the Georgia Southern and Florida rsibffAJ--- Mr. Fenner brings with, him-. A CorpfjPf trained men from North Carolina.., He employs no local or inexperienced help in his warehouse work. Among the Visitors. Mr. K. W. Horne brought his tobacco from Norman l'ark through the country b.v truck. He has between 1,000 and 1,- 500 pounds here. Rev. W. W. Webb, of Hnhira, Agent r the State Bureau of Markets, was an nterested attendant on the sales. He ys that in three years time Tifton will ■ the headquarters for the tobacco busi es of this section. General Freight Agent J. M. Cutler of the Georgia Southern and Florida, was ut the warehouse early In the morning Agricultural Agent K. L. Turner, Tobac co Agent J. L. Riug, and Field Agent I. W. Rawls, of the same road, came in i the noon train. A New Thing for Us. A glance at the piles of tobacco makes it apparent even to the novice that the industry is a new one here. It is easy to distinguish the product of a grower who was in the business last year from that of a new man at the business. Much of the tobacco shown on the first day was plucked green and improperly cured. All of it is the first,, or bottom crop. MANY TALKS MADE BUT NO HOUSES YET Good Suggestion Made at Tuesday Night’s Meeting, But No Action Was Taken to Build Homes. There was a small crowd and much talk at Tuesday night’s meeting in the in- TIFT COUNTY SINGING CONVENTION MEETS At Murrow Springs Next Saturday and Sunday.

The people who are able to build the hous es and who should come to Tifton’s rescue in this time of very great need were not at the meeting. Secretary W. E.

This is an organization of Tift county, organized for the express purpose of the musical uplift and the edification of the people of Tift county; to train the youth iu staging Gospel songs, so necessary in our churches for the effective and suc cessful preaching 0 f the Gospel. The people of the county operate it through officers elected by the Convention and these officers when patriotic to their task, subject themselves to some sacrifice for the success of the work entrusted to them In the past these officers have been well after speaking of the prospect for eoutiti. • gul)ported not on |j, by the Executive Com- ued growth of Tifton and the continued [ puttee but by the people over the county, increase m real estate values, he suid| who have contributed loyally to make Tifton already had the home building each aud every annual Convention a sue- organizution ueeded in the Tifton Homo| eess _ Building Co.
