LAW ANO ORDER LEAGUE ORGANIZED Best Citizens Of Jasper Are Determined To Protect County From Future Stig mas. The good people of Jasper are horrified over the recent develop ments in which eleven negroes were killed and drowned, and that they are fullv determined to keep the county’s skirts clean in liie future, may be seen in the organi zation of a law and order league which was made in Monticello Wednesday. A list has been left at the News office for the signature of those who wish to join this league. No Canvassing of names will be made. Those who desire to sign the pledge may do so by coming to this office. If it is impossible for any citizen, living out to Mon ticello, to come to town for the purpose of enrolling his name among the list of law-abiding peo ple, he may telephone or write some friend residing in Monticello to affix his name to the pledge. As “actions speak louder than words,” it is hoped that every citi zen, who is anxious to safe-guard the good name of the common wealth, will come forward at once and sign his name as evidence of his good faith and determination to co-operate in the movement to curtail future outrages in the county. The citizen who does not think it important enough to align him self on the shde of “good order and justice” by affixing his name to this pledge is not the sort of man wanted in these times of dis order and trial to help put the fair, name of Jasper back on its wonted pedestal. Nor should anv citizen of the county deem it not his duty to see that the law is upheld. It is as much HIS duty as it is the duty of every officer. And a GOOD citi zen will do his part to protect and preserve ift any and all times. — Monticello News. The United States has succeed ed Great Britain as the world,s banker, Europe owing us the tidy little sum of fourteen billions of dollars. The fourteen billions look better to us than the honor of being the w. b. Get ’em back. Not being harnessed up in the league of nations, we can do just as effective and profitable work by constituting ourselves a league of Americans. Even with the advent of spring we can’t lose the weather man. He’ll soon be roasting us just as gleefully as he tried to freeze us to death. Advice is like medicine. It is very objectionable to most people. TO PEOPLE WHO EAT MEAT WHO doesn’t relish a rich, juicy steak? Who doesn’t abhor a tough one? It is all in the buying.

University of Georgia Conference at Macon Dozier Fields, of McDonough, wiii represent Henry county at the state-wide University of Geor gia conference at Macon, April 16. More than 100 representatives from all parts of the state will meet with Governor Dorsey, Chancellor Barrow and other offi cials to.4iscuss plans for meeting the crisis faced by the University. The enlargement of the equip ment of the University of Georgia has not kept pace with the growth of the state high schools. As a result the University has had to turn away many high school grad uates who desired to go on with their education, and it will have to turn away hundreds more every V'*ar. Unless the plant and equip ment is increased, work in agri culture, science, business, and all the other departments in which the University'trains its students cannot be kept up to their present high standards. “The growth in numbers has swamped us,” says Chancellor Barrow. “The growth.in the de m inds made for various forms of education made necessary by mod ern conditions lias mired us down in the swamp. “Five thousand Georgia boys "ind girls will complete their high -chool work this year. A large number of them should go on to college. We have not places to lodge and board them. We have not the class rooms in which to teach them.” - The state conference Saturday will decide on the essential needs of the University#and will discuss plans to meet those needs. The graduates of the University are determined that the young people of Georgia shall not he denied the advantages of the best education the state can give.
