T. J. Wilbanks Dead,
Three Others Hurt
When Car Capsizes
(From Commerce News)
T. J. Wilbanks was instantly kill
ed and Misses Lenie and Gertrude
Jones, and Chalmers Vaughn were
injured when the car in which they
were riding turned over on the
Athens highway about a mile out
side Harmony Grove last Saturday
night at eleven o’clock.
Mr. Wilbanks, who was the young
est son of Mr. and Ben Wil
banks, was driving the car in which
the party was returning from Ath
ens. They were rounding a curve
about a mile outside of Harmony
Grove when the wheels strck soft
dirt on the side of the road and
turned over killing young Wilbanks
instantly, and seriously injuring
Chalmers Vaughn and Miss Lenie
Jones.
Mr. Vaughn, son of Mrs. James
Wilson, has severe injuries in his
back and according 4o Dr. G. O.
Castellaw is crushed internally. His
condition is questionable. He has
been removed to the Athens Gener
al Hospital.
Miss Lenie Jones, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Jones, has a
fractured collarbone, scalp lavera
tions and other bodily bruises. Her
condition is said to be fair. Her
sister, Miss Gertrude Jones suffered
laverations ami bruises over her
legs and body, but she was not con
fined to bed. ,
No other reasons were given for
the accident, said Dr. Castellaw,
other than the fact that the spaed
of the car when the soft dirt was
struck was such that when Wil
banks tried to pull it back into the
road it turned over before he could
get it under control or slow down.
The funeral for Mr. Wilbanks
was conducted by the Rev. G. H.
Collins, and he was buried at Wil
son’s Church Monday afternoon.
Besides his parents he is survived
by his brothers: Hubert W-ilbanks,
Grady Wilbanks, Gip Wilbanks, and
Aubrey Wilbanks, Birmingham, Ala.;
and his sisters: Mrs. Ed Boswell,
Cornelia, Mrs. Owen Cole and Mrs.
Robert Taylor.
MEMORY’S URGE
(By Bruce Catton)
Alorig about this time of year, an
imperative desire begins to stir in
the breast of the average citizen.
He wants, in short, to go a-fishing;
he doesn’t care much where, and
he doesn’t much care whether he
catches anything, but he does want
to go, and the desire makes him
restless.
It would be a mistake to suppose
that he really envies President
Roosevelt his ability to get on a
great yacht and sail off to piratical
seas to hook tropical fish six feet
long. That is fishing de luxe, and
for the ordinary man it’s a thing to
dream of, but not actually to desire.
His wants are ever so much simpler.
It all begins when the first really
spring-like tlay domes strolling a
long. The air drifts past his nos
trils with an unsetting winey tang
to it, a couple of white clouds tum
ble lazily across a blue sky, hopeful
birds chrp foolishly amid budding
branches—and the fisherman begins
to see visions and dream dreams.
His visiop, as like as not, will
take him a long way back in time
and space. He’ll see a boyhood
scene—a looped streamlet wander
ing without purpose along the reedy
borders of pasture-lots and plots of
woodland, with a mossy dam and an
old mill somewhere in the distance,
and a barefooted youngster in a tat
tered, over-sized straw hat loafing
contentedly toward its banks, a
crooked fishing pole over his should
er and a tomato can full of worms
in one fist.
He will see this, or something
like it, from his own past; and while (
he will remember all sorts of stir
ing incidents connected therewith,
such as the catching of a prodigious
sunfish and rock bass and an occas
ional repulsive-looking bullhead, he
will remember chiefly the aura that
used to invest such expeditions—
that unforgettable, priceless atmos
phere of perfect happiness, perfect
contentment, and indolent, care
free well-being such as no one but
a boy with a fishing pole ever really
knows.
And it is the memory of this that
unsettles our sober citizen, as he
meditates on the business of fishing.
He may not know it, but what he
really wants is to recapture an
echo of that long-lost and halcyonic
time that he knew when he was in
knee breeches.
State Park In Southeast
Georgia
Through the generosity of Mr.
Cator Woolford, Atlanta, the state
of Georgia has anew state park
situated near the mouth of the Al
tamaha river. It is named San Do
mingo park from the San Domingo
mission established by Spaniards in
the sixteenth century, the ruins of
which are found on the park area.
A civilian conservation corps has
been assigned to the park and work
on its development will begin at
once. One of the first undertakings,
according to State Forester B. M.
Lufburrow, who in in general charge
of the state parks, is the restoration
of the Spanish mission, the m'ar-by
fortress and some of the old planta
tion structures. The plans also call
for extensive developments which,
when completed, Mr. Lufburrow
says, will make it one of the most
beautiful parks in eastern United
States.
San Domingo park is situated near
the coastal highway and is easily
accessible not only to Georgians,
but to tourists who flock to the
Georgia coast and Florida from all
parts of the country.
No state park has hitherto been
located on the Georgia coast. In
establishing the San Domingo park,
it is stated that one of the important
objectives is to create greater public
interest in the earliest history of
the state, particularly the history of
a century of Spanish occupation
concluding with the Battle of Bloody
Marsh near Brunswick, when the
long strife over debated land was
decided by arms in favor of the
British.
The 300-acre tract assigned by
Mr. Woolford to the state as a park
has been accepted by the commis
sion of forestry and geological de
velopment.
REASON FOR BUYING IN THE
HOME TOWN
Never in the history of this conti
nent has there been more reason to
encourage trading in the home town.
Merchants and professional men are
the backbone of the home town’s
finances, and every legitimate dollar
put into their hands by the people
of that town is kept inside of the
town to increase its per capita
wealth, to the benefit of every in
dividual residing there.
But, aside from the possible profit
and loss on the actual purchase
price, there is another and bigger
factor in the matter of trading in
the home town. The prosperity of
every community is the same as
that of every state or province and
every nation. Its prosperity de
pends upon its per capita wealth.
Every dollar spent at home tends to
stabilize this wealth, and every dol
lar spent away from home tends to
pull it down.
Of course the best teaching is by
example. Every citizen should see
to it that he and the members of
his family spend their money in the
town in which they get it, thus sta
bilizing the per capita wealth of
that town for the general good of
every citizen in it.—The Kiwanis
Magazine.
GETTING THE NEWS
(From Dawson News)
Many people have a rather mis
guided conception of what news is,
and only an editor can understand
the travail undergone in an honest
effort to present real news.
Practically is this true of the
small town paper. Much that has no
news value must of necessity be
printed, while without extreme ef
fort informative news is sometimes
hard to get. The highest aim of the
press is to give to its readers news,
of local and current interest, and
when this is not accomplished a
failure has been made.
In the presentation of news many
things must be considered, and only
real co-operation on the part of
public officials and the people can
bring about the effort a paper de
sires to achieve.
Consider your "home town paper”
the organ which carries happenings
of chief import to its readers, and
make its success possible by not
withholding items of interest.
THEY’RE ENTITLED TO IT
Taxpayers, through their owner
ship of property and their payment
of governmental costs, may well be
regarded as stockholders in their
governments. As such, they are en
titled to financial statements, either
mailed to them or published in their
local papers, just as the financial
statements of big corporations are.

Plant Good Variety
Cotton Seed
It is always advisable to plant a
good standard variety of cotton
seed, and these seed be of good
quality.
This year, when we are going to
plant less acres in cotton than
normally, it is very important that
we plant only cotton seed of good
quality and of a variety that will
produce a qualify of standard
length that will command good
price. The control of acreage and
bales of cotton ginned does not
specify any kind of cotton, so it be
hooves each farmer to get as many
dollars worth of cotton as may be
possible wrapped up in each bale.
This may be done by planting a good
standard variety of cotton.
We have in Jackson county sev
eral farmers-who have surplus seed
of Coker’s Farm Relief and Stone
well No. 2 for sale. Either of these
varieties are among the best for
farmers to plant, in my opinion.
Coker’s Farm Relief, and Stonewell
No. 2, vareties of cotton will pro
duce a staple length from 1 to 1 Vi
inch, and will command a premium
over 7-8 inch cottdn of approxi
mately lc per pound or more. Either
of these varieties of cotton will pro
duce as many pounds of lint per
acre as other varieties now being
planted in Jackson county.
Increase your income from cot
ton by planting good variety cotton.
I will be glad to advise those inter
ested who have seed for sale, and
suggest that you get your seed at
once before they are all gone.
Yours for service,
W. Hill Hosch,
County Agricultural Agent.
A LIVE-AT-HOME PROGRAM
Walter N. Harrison, president of
the Georgia Bankers’ Association,
delivered an address on “The Live-
At-Home Program in Economic Re
covery” at the fourteenth annual
session of the Georgia Home Econo
mics Association, held recently.
The speaker listed six cardinal
principles which he deemed neces
sary to the live-at-home program.
These w r ere:
1. A self-sustained farm, produc
ing food and seed crops sufficient
for the family and live stock where
practicable.
2. Encourage economic production
of all crops and live stock by soil
building through use of summer and
winter legumes, terracing and drain
age and more intelligent use of fer
tilizer.
3. Prevention of disease and in
sect pests.
4. Improvement of poultry and
live stock by use of pure-bred sires
and feeding balanced rations.
5. Additional cash crops.
6. Arrangements of practical
markets for handling occasonal sur
pluses of farm products.
NOT THE FIRST TIME HE HAD
ASKED THIS QUESTION
A fellow dialed his home tele
phone number.
"Hello,” he said. "Is that Mrs.
Brown?”
"Yes.”
"This is Jack speaking. I say,
dear, will it be all right if I bring
home a couple of fellows to dinner?”
“Certainly, darling.”
"Did you hear what I said?”
“Yes—you asked if you could
bring home a couple of fellows to
dinner. Of course you can, dear.”
“Sorry, madam,” said the fellow
as he hung up. "Pve got the wrong
Mrs. Brown.”—New York Morning
Telegraph.
Walter Irving Clarke, national
publicity director for the Presbyter
ian church in the United States, is
a firm believer in newspaper adver
tising as a means to increase church
attendance. Speaking before the
editorial council of religious press,
Mr. Clarke said that if the church is
to reach all of the public with its
message it ought to supplement its
regular established church channels
by using the public press, religious
and secular, that medium which has
been demonstrated to be instantly
effective for powerful and perman
ent persuasion of the people, a
medium also which gives greatest
material and spiritual value for each
dollar invested. "The most success
ful business advertisers continue to
spend more money in newspapers
than in any other medium. The
church should be equally wise.
Preachers who think, use printers’
ink to fill their pews and spread glad
news. . . .”
Vital Questions Face Church
Conference
The quadrennial session of the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, will assem
ble in Jackson, Miss., on April 26,
and continue in session for about
three weeks.
Suggestions to limit the power of
bishops and fix their terms of office
at four years instead of life, are a
mong the proposals which probably
will come before the conference.
Three of the bishops are slated
for retirement at this conference.
They are Warren A. Candler, H. M.
Dubose and Collins Denny.
A vacancy exists in the college of
bishops on account of the death of
W. F. McMurray.
There is a movement on foot to
postpone the selection of successors
for these vacancies but whether this
will be done cannot be determined
until the conference passes on the
question.
At present, widows of bishops re
ceive S2OO a month for life, and
some members of the church say
that this subject will be given con
sideration by the conference, inas
much as many of the preachers re
ceive far less salaries annually.
Letters in the Methrfflist church
papers and discussions among the
membership indicate the widespread
interest in the proposals relating to
the bishops.
Think This Over
Newspapers should not give a line
of space to athletic games when the
newspaper receives no support from
the team, one editor comments fol
lowing the use of mimeographed
dodgers to advertise the game.
“Publicity which newspapers give
to ball teams and ball games would
cost $lO or sls a week if figured at
space rates and is worth more than
that to the teams, so the printing'
offices are certainly entitled to the
small revenue possible from printing
the dodgers, and a team which will
resort to a mimeograph for that
purporse deserves no consideration
from a news standpoint. And this
same line . of reasoning applies to
many other things about which
newspapers are expected to give
much publicity, as well as it does to
the ball pmes.”
Papers owe the communty its
news of the day, and every town is
entitled to the support of the news
paper for worthwhile projects, but
in trun the community owes its
support and co-operation to the
newspaper. The thought of this
editor is becoming more and more
prevalent and it never does any
harm to remind your readers of
their obligations.—Minnesota Press.
