Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., Aug. 1, 1919. Make Thrift a hapoy habit through War Savings Stamps, Normal prices are a thing of the past from every point of view. A county without paved roads is a tail ender in the parade of progress. Put your money where it will do double duty for you—in War Savings Stamps. The wide-awake little city of Douglasville will have an ice plant and steam laundry. They tell ns the earth is be coming inflammable. Not in this section —too wet. About the nearest to the glory land some fellows will ever get will be in an airplane. The extra one-cent letter post age during the war yielded Uncle Sam the neat sum of $110,000.000. The progressive city of Jackson is adding another link to her chain of industries —a steam laun dry. The Men’s Bible Class at the Methodist church is interesting and worth your time. Come out Sunday. . The report that the women are wearing gingham because cotton is about as expensivs as silk is a misnomer. The kaiser has one consolation should he be banished to some remote island, he won’t have to worry over the high cost of liv ing. Why not let that English pug and Jack Dempsey meet in mid ocean and “duck it” out with a shark as referee and thus end a brutal sport. If St. Simon were alive wonder what he would think of the antics of some of the patrons of the island named after him who bask in the sun in onion skin bathing suits? McDonough’s greatest and only drawback to its increase of popu lation is a lack of houses. We have the climate, the soil, the most hospitable people, but no shelter for the home-seeker. Let’s get out of this rut. Cotton Prices. Greer’s Almanac, 1913 edition, contains a table of highest and lowest cotton prices from 1861 to 1911, inclusive. Following are a few interesting extracts from it: 1861, highest 38, lowest 11%. 1862, highest 69%, lowest 20. 1863, highest 93, lowest 51. 1364, highest 1.90, lowest 72. 1865, highest 1.20, lowest 35. 1866, highest 52, lowest 32. 1867, highest 36, lowest 15%. Then on up to 1899 prices grad ually declined to 7.13-16 highest, 5.7-8 lowest, then reaching 16.15 in 1911. Compared with 36 cents, high for this season, these figures are highly interesting. Hope of Humanity Lies In League, Says Fletcher. Washington, July 24. “The crosses that speak of heroism and sacrifice, extending from the Eng lish channel to the Swiss border, reach out their arms in mute ap peal to the representatives of civ ilized pepoles to see to it that such slaughter, destruction and barbar ity shall never again blight the earth,” said Senator Fletcher, of Florida, speaking in the senate to day in behalf of the league of na tions. “The president has pointed the way of hope for humanity and assurance for the world. Shall this senate turn it back and refuse its advice and consent ?” It is due the dead and maimed of ail the allied armies and the bereaved of the home population, he said, that the enlightened na tions of the earth should see to it on the final settlement of terms that provision be made whereby never again should any autocrat or military clique be able to “pour the sweet milk of concord into hell.” Expressing' regret that the sen ate “cannot unite, as did those around the peace table,” Senator Fletcher criticised opponents of the league covenant’s conclusion in the treaty. “They not only oppose the league of nations plan now before us.” he said, “but they are oppos ed to any kind of a plan. It is not worth while to discuss the details of the plan submitted, so far as they are concerned. It could not be made satisfactory to them. No amendment, no reservation, no separate construction, no condi tion could be framed that would cause it to meet with their favor. They argue that any covenant with other nations, any alliance would mean a certain relinquish ment of our sovereignty, a sacri fice in some degree of our inde pendence, and they are unwilling to allow either. “I am utterly unable to see any such danger or find any grounds for objection in the terms of the covenants submitted. There would be, of course, some right of free and independent action surrender ed, just as there is under any con tract an individual may make. The consideration received is a fair exchange, in the one case as in the other. The covenants of all the other nations, the relin quishments and yielding of arbi trarily unrestrained action on their part, is an important considera tion. The concessions, which are mutual, for certain definite and fixed objects, is shared by all for the good of all. The return of what is given up balances the giving.” Leave to Sell GEORGIA—Henry County. To whom it. may Concern : H. S. Coker, administrator of the estate of S. M.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA An Ideal War. A colored soldier, regretting audibly being shelled from a dis tance, said to his officer: “If they just only used razors, only razors, then all you white folks would have to do would be to keep the books, just keep the books.” Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all. — Holmes.
