The Henry County Weekly
VOL. XLV.
- THE FIRST SUBSCPTION TO THE VICTORY LOAN IN HENRY COUNTY
was made by a widow lady early Monday morning, the day of the drive. The bond
was tor $1,000.00, and was paid for in cash in advance.
If this bond issue is successful Henry county must do her part, and do it as well as her Soldiers have done
theirs. If we each do our part as well as tf is widow and our loyal soldier boys, Henry county will still remain
famous as a county which does things. There is no doubt that her reputation will be sustained in connection
with the campaign for the sale of bonds in tl-is, the LAST Liberty Loan.
The campaign is Now On, and will continue through May 10th. Let every citizen do his part in this, the
last and greatest loan, by going to the banks and subscribing for his quota, and save the committee coming to see
you. LET'S BE A VOLUNTEER!

Atlanta. —It was announced at the
capitol that Governor Dorsey had un
,der consideration the matter of ob
taining money to pay the pension fund
of $626,000, which is due May 1. At
present there is only about SIOO,OOO
in the treasury. Governor Dorsey,
who is now on a tour of the state with
the special tax commission, will inves
tigate every angle of the state’s pres
ent financial condition and will either
borrow the necessary money or make
other arrangements, as he may deem
I fit- J- W. Lindsey, pension commis
sioner, is of the opinion that unless
the regular monthly payments to the
University ot Georgia and its branch
es and the state sanitarium are held
up for possibly two months, there is
little prospect of the state being abie
to meet the pension fund. W. J
Speer, state treasurer, stated that
there was oniy about $220,000 more in
sight for this month. The governor
has a borrowing capacity of $500,000,
cf which $200,000 has been taken up.
A loan for the entire amount within
the governor’s power would raise only
the amount of the pension debt, while
the state institutions would not be
taken care of. The amount due them
is about SIOO,OOO.

the Southern Methodists will raise,
during the next five years, $35,-

work. H. J. Turner is Charge
Director for McDonough and Tur
ners, and also he has been ap
pointed Centenary Treasurer to
serve for five years. A. A. Lemon
is Church Director for McDon
ough and W. J. Turner is Director
for Turners. The following com

the directors to assist in the work:

The committees will meet be
fore the beginning of the drive
and receive instructions concern
ing their duties. On May 18 each
one of the two committiees will
meet at the churches, of which
they are members, at 11 o’clock
and begin operations. Whatever
amount may be subscribed by any
member, unless otherwise arrang
ed by the committeemen, will be
multiplied by five, as the one can
vass covers the five years.
Our quota for the five years is
$12,000. We are going to raise
it! It can be done easily if every
member does what he can. If
any member less than $3 50
per year someone else will have
to double. There are some who
cannot pay this much; so manv,
many, will, have to pay much more
than this. Com on, fellows, and
let’s pull together on this great
work, and get the blessing we so
much need at this time. If the
church does not now rise to its
opportunity and reconstruct this

Salvation Army
Puts On Campaign
Mr. H. T. Mcßroom, of Atlanta,
representing the Salvation Army,
was in McDonough last week for
the purpose of organizing Henry
county in a campaign for the “Sal
vation Army Home Service Fund”
drive that will be made through
out the United States during the
month of May, from the 19th to
26th inclusive.
E. L. Reagan was appointed
County Chairman and J. B. Dick
son, Secretary and Treasurer, with
J. E. Hooten, J. T. Weems, F. L.
Walker, A. A. Lemon and Geo.
Alexander, as co-workers for the
McDonough district.
The quota for the entire county
being only SI,OOO the chairman
feels confident that this amount
will be freely and fully met by the
people of our county. He also
feels confident that the good peo
ple of our county will not fail to
manifest their appreciation and
gratitude to this humble and self
sacrificing band of missionaries,
who, they will remember, have
for ages so nobly served the cause
of humanity, and recently won the
affection and admiration of jdl
mankind by their honest and faitn
ful camp and overseas service for
our soldier b^ys.
With a small band of only about,
250, and with limited means at that
they managed to be the first to
cross over and reach the front and
the hearts of our soldier boys;
and every returning one of them
has unhesitatingly and enthusiast
ically commended the Salavation
Army work, and praised their ev
ery effort in the highest of terms.
The stamp of approval which
these soldiers place upon this
consecrated band of such devo
tional workers in their behalf,
truly vindicates the time honored
judgment that this is one of the
greatest institutions on earth.
Committeemen and campaigners
for the other districts of the coun
ty will be appointed at an early
date. Chairman.

WILSON COMING
HOME IN MONTH
COUNCIL OF FOUR WILL GIVE
POLAND CORRIDOR TO
THE SEA
PRESIDENT TO BRING TREATY
Germans Not Planning To Delay Th*
Signing Of Treaty According
To All Indications
Paris. —It was stated in well inform
ed quarters that the situation of the
peace negotiations was such that
President Wilson would probably he
able to sail homeward May 20, and
possibly a Mttle earlier —by May 15.
The belief was expressed that the
president would call an extra ses
sion of congress to convene between
May 15 and June 1.
Present indications are that the
peace treaty will be signed before
the president’s departure. Informa
tion reaching the delegates tends to
show that the Germans are not plan
ning to take up time and delay the
•signing of the treaty, as they desire
a settlement of the peace terms at
the earliest possible moment.
The Polish-German boundary ques
tion was finally disposed of by the
council of four, but no announcement
has been made of the decisions taken.
It is understood that Danzig will be
internationalized, while the Poles will
have a corridor running from that city
to their frontier to give them access
to the sea.
The most important remaining
question to he settled is that of the
Jugo-Slav and Italian claims in the
Adriatic. Baron Sidney Sonino, Italian
foreign minister, will set forth the
Italian case, it is expected.
The council is holding both morn
ing and afternoon sessions occupying
itself chiefly with the question of the
disposition of Fiume and to the prob
lem of Danzig.
It has developed that contrary to
the plan originaly contemplated there
will be no German text of the peace
treaty.
The plan of the council of four
to have Belgium prosecute the for
mer German emperor on the charge
of responsibility for the war is meet
ing with objections, which are again
bringing up the. whole subject for re
vision.
Those who have the matter in hand
divide the question of war responsi
bilities into two distinct classes. The
first class includes military and na
val offenders, like General Ludendorg
and Admiral von Tirpitz, and those
accused of various excesses against
the usual rules of warfare. The bec
ond class includes former Emperor
William, ex-Chancellor von Bethmann-
Hollweg and others whose offense is
chiefly of a political nature.

A photographer has found a phono
graph a valuable aid In obtaining the
desired facial expression in a sub

person whose likeness he Is to obtain
he decides whether he wishes an ani

the phonograph likely to stimulate
the expression desired. For animation
he will play such a tune ns “Dixie ”

The truly normal, mischief-loving

play. If this is denied him he will

it difficult to keep on friendly terms
with his small neighbors his mother
jnust see to it that he has his own
playground at home. It won’t cost
much to fit up such a fairyland, and
It will prove an investment that will
