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. Send in your
subscription NOW.”

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.

while Davis and Pitts have shone
equally in their places at quarter
and half, both taking a prominent
part in every game. The local
management greatly appreciates
the services of Mr. Timon Bowden
as referee in the games played at
home.

The Woodmen of the World
camp at Jackson unveiled the
Woodmen’s monument over the
grave of Mr. Andy Kimbell, who
recently met death in the collapse
of a building in Atlanta. The un

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.
