The Henry County Weekl VOL. XLVII. CAPITAL KEPT BY PERPETUAL REPRODUCTION SIMILAR TO GROWTH OF THE POPULATION Each Year the Number Born Exceeds the Number Who Die, Therefore, the Popoulation Always Increases. Capital is kept in existence from age to age not by preservation but by perpetual reproduction: every part of it is used and destroyed, generally very soon after it is produced, but those who consume it are employed meanwhile in pro ducing more. The growth of capi tal is similar to the growth of pop ulation. Every individual who is born dies, but in each year the number born exceeds the number who die: the population, therefore, always increases, though not one person of those composing it was alive until a very recent date. This perpetual consumption and reproaucton of capital affords the explanation of what has so often excited wonder, the great rapidity with which countries recover from a state of devastation; the dis appearance, in a short time, of all traces of the mischiefs done by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and the ravages of war. • An ene my 1 »ys waste a country by fire and sword, and destroys or car ries away nearly all the movable wealth existing in it: all the inhabi tants are ruined and yet, in a few years after, everything is much as it was before. This vis medicatrix nature has been a subj ect of sterile astonishment, or has been cited to exemplify the wonderful strength of the principle of saving which can repair such enormous losses in so brief an interval. There is nothing at all wonder ful in the matter.

GROVER ISON KILLS G. E. GOGGIN, OF GRIFFIN. IN A SELF-DEFENSE FIGHT % Griffin, Ga., October 24. —(Spe- cial) —G. E. Goggin was shot and killed by Grover Ison today at Dig by, near Griffin. Both of the men who are well-known throughout Spalding county, met in the store of Frank Moody and the shooting followed. Ison was wounded slight ly and is being held under guard until he is removed to the colmty jail. Reports of the shooting by eye witnesses are conflicting. Accord ing to one version of the affair, Goggin was advancing toward Ison with a baseball bat and Ison shot in self-defense. Another version is that Ison was drinking and curs ing and this led up to the shoot ing. After the shooting Ison was taken to a nearby house where sev eral cuts in his head were dressed. Ison has been placed under a guard until such a time as he can be removed to the county jail. Gog gin was 29 years of age and is survived by his widow and one child. Ison is 19 years of age, A preliminary trial will be held Monday. the inhabitants themselves: the wealth which they so rapidly re produce would have needed to be reproduced and would have been reproduced in any case, and prob ably in as short a time. Nothing is changed, except that during the reproduction they have not now the advantage of consuming what had been produced previously. The possibility of a rapid repair of their disasters depends on wheth er the country has been depopu lated. John Stuart Mill, Principles of Political Economy, Book Eight, Chapter Five. McDonough, Georgia, Friday, October 28, 1921. McDonough quintet SWAMPED BY CONYERS The Conyers Lads Defeated the M. H. S. Boys Last Friday Afternoon in the First Game of the Season, 24 to 6. Friday afternoon ushered on the high school grounds a new kind of athletics for McDonough. Supt. Fleming, of Conyers High, brought his husky quintet over that they may give the local boys their initial taste of basketball, and even though the local boys were defeated the defeat did not leave a bitter taste. The school children seem to en joy the game so much for it was the first game they ever saw. We hope to show them much better games ere many moons wax and wane. We are glad to note a number of the town people out to witness the fight and we hope that they will be out even in larger num bers to see the next game and help us to make the school a part of our city life and an occasional place to visit as a social center. The Convers boys were much heavier than the M. H. S. boys and had two years experience, which makes quite a difference in basketball. This being the first game for the M. H. S. boys a 24 to 6 score is not a bad defeat at all, especial ly when the 12 fouls they made is compared to only 2 by Conyers, and that Conyers’ foul shooter had a way of putting the half through the basket about every time Ije had a chance. “Skinney,” the tall and lankey center for Conyers, and “Speck,” the speedy forward did the work for the visitors and they are a fast pair. Townsend and Welch did un-j MANY CONFEDERATE VET ERANS ATTEND ANNUAL REUNION IN CHATTANOOGA The Confederate Veterans, who left here Tuesday to attend the United Confederate Veterans an nual reunion at Chattanooga, were: Messrs. W. H. Bryans, D. B. Mor gan, J. T. Davis, W. R. Nail, Judge and Mrs. A. G Harris. We learn from the Constitution that the characteristic address by Governor Alt' A. Taylor and Sena tor James B. Frazier, of Tennes see, featuied the opening session of the thirty first annual reunion of the United Confederate Veteran Wednseday. Governor Taylor, in welcoming the delegates voiced his pleasure over the unity exist ing in all sections, stating that re conciliation was made complete when President McKinley ordered headstones placed at the graves of Conferate dead at the expense of the government. Before launching his address. Governor Taylor called Johnny Bass, a grizzled veteran, and in mate of the Nashville Soldiers' Home, to the platform. He then asked that a fiddling trio of Tex ans come forward, when the gov ernor himself took up his fiddle and led the orchestra, with John ny at the piano. The crowd went wild when the fiddlers started the musical program with “Dixie,” and the rebel yell resounded throughout the tabernacle. This was a great occasion for the yeterans, and it makes our heart leap for jov to see them en joy themselves. usual splendid playing for M. H. S. for their first game of ball. Eve ry boy of the M. H. S. team did splendid work and showed much speed, and so soon as they get more knowledge of how the game is played they will show some high school teams that they are to be considered as players. Wednesday afternoon Supt. Adams will carry his boys over to Conyers for a return game and the boys are going with a deter mination to show the Conyers boys that they learned a great deal about basketball last Friday afternoon.
