Will Observe Made
in Georgia Week.
The week of May 22nd 29th
has been formally desigr d and
set apart by special proclamation
of the governor of th< ate as
Made-in-Georgia week.
Georgia, an empire state, now
sends to other states ai d sections
each year for manufaetr ' arti
cles and agricultural and mineral
products a stream of gold esti
mated at one hundred million
dollars!
Os course that golden flow
should never be could never be |
shut off entirely, for there are !
products and cornmodii. s that
can be produced to better ad
vantage in distant sections than
in Georgia, but it should be very
substantially reduced. It now j
stands as an indictment against
a state which, while it has made
mighty strides in manufacturing
and in farming, has hardly in a
sense touched the truly magnifi
cent resources with which nature
has endowed it.
The object of Made-in-Georgia
week is to familiarize G< orgians
with Georgia-grown and < ieorgia
manufactured commodities and,
through this familiarity, to in
crease their consumption in tin
state in which they v re pro
duced; thus keeping the monej
at home, cutting out freight
charges to a largo extent, on- j
couraging farmers and n nulac
turers, and benefiting everybody 1
concerned.
Georgia week and its irnpor
tan.ee cannot be emphasized tooi
greatly, and we hope that it (will
be stressed to the utmost by the!
publicity tom sos the ta'oand
that industrial and ag ultural,
leadership will give it the full |
benefit of every ounci d their
influence and active a?- -Unci',
so that this really big d< i can
be carried out in a mail ■ way.

and club camps. Judging con
i' sts will be held in the counties,
congressional districts and for
the championship of the state,
learns will be selected for live

irj ‘ number of them will com
pete for places on the teams.

trips tq Chicago to the Interna
tional Livestock Exposition.
Club camps will be held during
the sun mer in most of the coun

agents as well as play and recre
ation.
Short Courses will be held at

Wounded in Fight
on Streets of Nunez.
Nunez, Ga., May I.—Two men
wore wounded in a gun fight on
the streets of this place yester
day afternoon. William Kirby
was dangerously wounded and
is now in a hospital at Statesboro.
Carl Youmnns, a son of Sewell
A. Yeomans, the latter who is
alleged tohave done the shooting,
was accidentally wounded.
Officers say that there have
been differences between You
m • - ; ul members of the Kirby
family for sometime. Kirby and
young Youmans met on the
streets yesterday and a fist fight
followed, in which it was alleged
that Youmans was beaten and
j bruised.
It is said that when the elder
Youmans heard of the fight he }
hastened to the scene with a rifle
; and began shooting.
Young Yomans was taken to |
Dublin, where surgeons today
amputated his injured leg.

LAST BRITISH 'WOODEN WALL'
Warship Impregnable, Built Before the
Da/a of Steel, la About to
Be Broken Up.
The Impregnable, probably the
! last wooden battleship to be built
for the British navy, has arrived at
Woolmich from Plymouth to be
broken up, according to the London
Daily Express. When launched at
Pembroke dock in 1860 she was fit
ted with engines. She never went
to sea except for her steam trials.
The ship’s original name was
Howe. She was a line-of-battle ship,
I with 121 guns and of 1-100 horse
power. Subsequently she was named
Bulwark. When the first training
ship Impregnable was pronounced
unserviceable in 1887 she was re
placed by the Bulwark, which was
then given her predecessor’s name.
She remained alone moored off
Cremyll until 1906. She was then
joined by the Inconstant and a few
years later by the Black Prince, and 1
the three vessels formed the boys’
training establishment. The Im
pregnable was, for many years the
flagship of the commander in chief
at Devonport.
LIVING IN A LIGHTHOUSE.
The ideal home seeing to have
been discovered in the Belle Toute
lighthouse at Beachey Head. As a
lighthouse, it was put out of action
by the mists of the shore, and an
other lighthouse had to be built at
the foot of the famous cliff, a little
way out to sea; hut, as a home, Belle
Toute has nearly everything to rec
ommend it. On the ground floor 1
there is a sitting room 32 feet by 20
feet, and an octagonal ijining room,
from the windows of which one can
see the downs and the ships in the
channel. From the empty lantern
room one may gaze over as fine a
piece of landscape and seascape as
the fair county of Sussex can show.
