The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLI. YOUNG DEMOCRAT GIVES DOLLAR TO THE WILSON FUND Woodrow Wilson Carmichael of McDonough Youngest Contributor to the National Campaign Fund. The Atlanta Journal publishes the following very interesting ar ticle, complimentary to the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Harris Carmi chael of this citv: “When Woodrow Wilson Car michael grows up and takes charge of the Carmichael Lumber Company at McDonough, Ga., he can look back a few years and point with pride to his first cam paign contribution made at the age of 3 1-2 months. The young Democrat sent in his dollar to the Journal Saturday morning to help swell the fund of $5,000 being raised in his native State to wipe ou t the deficit incurred by the Democratic National Committee in the re-election of his namesake as President of the United States. “Master Carmichael has estab lished a splendid precedent in be ginning to take an active part in Democratic affairs of a national scope so early and were his ex ample followed by others born in Democracy’s greatest year it would not be long before Georgia had done her part in paying up her share of the total deficit of $300,000. “The young man, too, has set a splendid example for older Demo crats, who have not yet respond ed to the call. “Let tms be an inspiration to you Georgians who owe so much to the administration of President Wilson. Show your patriotism by digging down in your pockets and giving. If it is only a dollar, send it in, and send it now. “The South should be particu larly giateful in the re-election of President Wilson. Above all it is the assurance of four years more of peace, prosperity, and plenty. And our part is a big part in the good that is to come. “Don’t delay.

Some very good sport has been furnished by the foot-ball team of Locust Grove Institute during this season, which ended last Saturday. The local team has lost one and won three of the games played at home. Several of ttie players on the team are graduating this year, so next season practically a new machine will have to be developed. Very few accidents have marred the general enthusiasm and pleas i ore derived from six hard fought battles. The first contest of the season was easily taken from Sixth District Agricultural team, 44 to 6. The game with Te< h High School, played in Atlanta, was lost 19 to 0; but considering that Tech High has easily the strongest team around Atlanta, the score was not so bad. Mercer i Scrubs dropped their game to L. G. I. eleven 12 to 6. Last season Locust Grove won from Mercer Scrub base-ball team 4to 3, and the last game of basket-ball aesulted 28 to 24 in favor of L. G. I. Locust Grove was trounced by G. M. A. 38 to 0, and hats have to come off to the better team. This was payed in College Park. The most interesting melee ofthe sea son was when Gordon came here to be defeated 21 to 6. Bovs High School of Atlanta took the game last Saturday, 14 to 7. Captain Hancock has proved an excellent general for the team; his accurate passing and consistent playing featured especially in the last games played. Johnson has played a scrappy game in the line; he is always looked upon as a hard fighter. Thomson, the lightest man on the team, has played a creditale game, at both end and half; he has done exceptional work in interfere nee. Hairston, the tall boy in the back-field, has proven a valuable all-round man; j The S. S. Meeting. The Eastern Div. of the Henry Co. S. S. A. met at Timberridge* church last Sunday, with weather ideal and a large crowd of people attending. The program was ex cellent and well rendered. Talks by the officers and speakers of ►the dav were very appropriate and inspiring to high and Christ like living, and it was a great S. S. day. The singing was splendid, led by Messrs. Coker, Horton, Upchurch and Norman. Several other leaders of music were also present. Then when we came to dinner, we are safe in saying that no oc-1 casion of similar rank ever fur-1 nished a better one. Such a va- i rietv of well prepared food is sel-, dom seen anywhere. We shall j never forget those good people, and especially the ladies who went to the trouble to prepare a second dinner, in order that the S. S. A. j mi-Mit not be embarrassed. We caught a glimpse of a high er standard of S. S. work. The i Eastern Division wants to bring I • the standard of work up to the Front Line by the next State meet ing. Let’s all talk the S. S. and go to S. S., and try to do our Master’s work well while we live in this world. MEMBER. For sale or rent, (sale perfer ed) house and 3 acre lot adjoining G. L.

We clip the following from the Atlanta Constitution of Nov. 8: “Dublin, Ga., Nov. 7. —While working for the Southern Bell Telephone Co., 0. L. Thompson* section lineman, is reported to have discovered a broken rail on the M. D. & S. Railroad about two miles west of here. With his line testing apparatus he notified the train dispatcher at Dublin, thus saving passenger train No. Id from a possible wreck.” Mr. Thompson resides near Bethany in this county, but for several months has been with the Southern Bell Telephone Co. In the person of ex-Sheriff NL A. Glass Henry county had one of the best officers she ever had* and he made one of the best sher iffs in the State. He was true to every trust and was a true friend to everybody, and was ever ready at all times to lend a helping hand to those in need or distress. Un fortunately for the past few years he has been deprived of his eye sight, but he still has that same old-time glad word of welcome to everyone whom he meets, and a visit to his home will make yoa feel glad.
