ACTION IS TAKEN
ON SECURING COLD

■ ■
; COMMITTEE IS NAMED AT
BOARD OF TRADE FRIDAY
LUNCH CLUB MEETING TO
LOOK INTO ADVISABILITY OF
EST A BLISHING IN DU STR Y.
An interesting session of the Fri
day Lunch Club, auxiliary of the
Board of Trade, was held Friday at
I noon, over which Frank C. Ellis, as
sistant postmaster, presided and at
which there was a large number of
farmers, merchants and business men.
The feature of the meeting was a
discussion of the important questions
of transportation and cold storage
plants.
Hon. Frank Reynolds, of Atlanta,
secretary of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, was a guest of honor and
delivered the principal speech. He
went fully into a discussion of the
vital subjects and gave some valua
ble information that will be of great
value in establishing the community
storage plant that is proposed for
Griffin and Spalding county.
Other speakers were J. E. Wallace,
Secretary Royster, Col. W. H. Con
nor, Hon. Frank Flynt, W. T. Bennett,
City Manager E. P. Bridges, L. J.
Gaissert, Douglas Boyd, A. P. Pat
terson and others.
A committee composed of L. J. Gais
sert, E. P. Bridges and A. P. Patter
son was appointed to take up the mat
ter of establishing the cold storage
plant and will make a report at the
next meeting. It was definitely de
cided to put up an industry of this
j kind as soon as possible and it will be
of great benefit to farmers in being
able to kill and save their meat and
other produce at any season of the
year.
C. K. McLendon, of the Experiment
Station, was invited to speak on the
cold storage question, but dodged that
proposition and gave the pleasing in
formation that the Experiment Sta
tion was a fixture in Griffin, stating
that if it was moved it would be ne
cessary for congress to pass a bill to
that effect. In providing that the
federal fund be paid it was provided
that all payments should be made to
i the Experiment Station in Griffin,
said Mr. McClendon, and this forever
settles the agitation of removing it
to Athens.

TWO MILNER MEN
BADLY INJURED IN
SHOOTJNG AFFRAY
REGE CRAWLEY IN GRIFFIN
HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CON
DITION AND PIKE ETHRIDGE
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED AT HIS
HOME IN MILNER.
Rege Crawley was brought to the
Griffin hospital Thursday night seri
ously wounded and Pike Ethridge is
suffering from bullet wounds about
the heart at his home near Milner as
the result of a shooting affray between
the two men et the warehouse of the
latter late Thursday afternoon. Offi
cers are now seeking others reported '
to have participated in the affair.
Earlier Thursday Revenue Officer
A. S. Sowell and a party of deputies j
raided a distilling plant while in ope-1
ration near .Milner. Nat Crawley, I
brother of the wounded man, and ‘
three negroes were arersted by the I
officers, who, it is said, caught them '
as they were making a “run.” The I
men were brought to Griffin and turn-!
ed over to Sheriff Patrick.
There are two versions of the cause'
of the shooting. It was first statedl
Rege Crawley accused Ethridge of!
giving the officers information which
led to the raid on his brother’s dis
tilling outfit. Later reports were to
the effect that several days ago one of
the negro tenants on Ethridge's farm ;
slapped one of Crawley’s boys, and i
I that Crawley whipped the negro for |
this act, which caused the trouble
leading up to the shooting, which oc-!
curred at Ethridge’s warehouse and I
resulted in the serious wounding of I
the two men.

FTC FIGHTING—TRAINED AT
CAMP GORDON.
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 21.—N0 !
American division in Fiance endured'
■greater hardships or went through;
i more terrific fighting than did the fa-'
mous Eighty-Second in the Argonne 1
I forest, according toH'aptain A. Fair
i fax Montague, the son of Mr. and Jits. |
' F. E. Montague, of this city, in a let- ■
ter to his father.
“The work they did was marvelous” >
says Captain Montague. “Remember,!
I this was on the Argonne forest, where '
lat the beginning the French troops j
i who were being relieved took the ag- i
j grieved attitude that they were being!
’ I
| forced out of their nicely prepared i
! winter quarters to let the American<
I try a hopeless task. For they argued
j that they had been there for over
j three years and they knew we could
i not drive the enemy out of the woods,
j But our boys made it in the face of
i almost insurmountable obstacles. They
; <jid such things as march half the
j night and lie on the cold, wet ground
| the other half until dawn; then wade
i the Aisne river from waist to neck
■ deep in the face of enemy machine
gun and artillery fire; take ridges
that were hard for me to climb when
there was nothing but dead men to'
block my progress; while at the time
they were taken these ridges were lit
erally covered with machine guns and
gunners.”
The Eighty-Second Divis ion, train-!
ed at Camp Gordon, is very close to
the hearts of Georgians and South
erners generally, because it was offi
cered by men drawn from these States
who trained in the first officers’ train
ing camp at Fort McPherson. Most
of the enlisted mtn of the division
were selectmen from the New York
territory, but the officers were prac
tically ail Southerners.
