Cars Badly Damaged. | Tuesday morning, Miss Fay Hollis, j a popular young lady of Rutledge, suf j feted a severe cut about the face, and other bruises, when the car in which she was riding collided with anoth-r cur, three mijes south of Monroe, on the highway. Miss Hollis and a friend were en roiite, to visit an aunt of the former. They were driving a Ford Coupe; as they turned a curve at the forks of the road, a Dodge car, driven by two men from Jersey, approached and the cars ran into each other, throwing Miss Hollis against the windshield. The three young men escaped un¬ hurt. The cars were badly smashed. The Dodge getting worst of it. Rushing Miss Hollis to Monroe she was given all surgical and medical at¬ tention and it is thought she will be herself in a few days. She is the daughter of Mr. Mark Hollis and a granddaughter of Mrs. Mary Hollis. The accident is deplored by the par fi< ipants and Miss Hollis has the sympathy of many friends. EARTHQUAKE SHOCK. San Fransisco, Cal.—A slight earth¬ quake shock was felt here at 5:05 o'clock Sunday. fect breathing, shown by lateral . de¬ pression of front of chest and promi¬ nent sternum (breast bone); disturbed development of teeth and vocal or¬ gans; large tonsils in one-third of cas es. Functional distrubances may be mental, including disturbance in the function of the brain resulting in aprosec-hia nasalis, that is. difficulty in forming an idea of anything new; stupidity; difficulty in retaining ideas; weakness of memroy; inability to turn thought on a definite subject; lack of power of attention; irritability, de¬ pression and often, disorderly conduct, oilier functional defects due to ade¬ noids are deafness; defects in the sense of smell and taste; defects in voice (nasal voice); chronic rhinopharyngeal catarrh, shown by a persistent nasal discharge (this is often one of the first tvmptoms; in very young children it is manifested by snuffles); obstruction of air passages resulting in breathing mouth and great restlessness at night, the child being fofeed to assume vari¬ ous attitudes, such as sleeping on face, in order to breathe better; reflex ef¬ fects, including catarrhal spasm of larynx, or croup; headache, intracta¬ ble cough and hoarseness, bronchial asthma, and enuresis. General effects are malnutrition and anemia; under¬ development (physical and mental); predisposition to otitis media, laryn¬ gitis, colds of a remittant nature; in¬ creased susceptibility to disease infec¬ tions. such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, etc. The appearance of a child with marked adenoid enlarge¬ ment is characteristic; mouth open: dull, sleepy, with inquiring look; up¬ per lip short and thick; upper jaw narrow; nasal orifices small and pinch¬ ed, the face full under the eyes; list¬ less and indisposed to physical or mental exertion; undersized. The child is stupid and backward and in school from one to two years behind the nor¬ mal pupil of the same age. tonsils (8) Enlarged and diseased produce many of the unfavorable re stilts attributed to adenoids. The two conditions are often associated, and U is difficult to distinguish between their effects. Enlarged and diseased tonsils produce susceptibility to tonsillitis, quinsy, diptheria, rheumatism, tubew culosis, pneumonia and other forms of infection. The presence of enlarged tonsils and adenoids in school children should be known, and when any dis turbanoe of health can be attributed to them by a competent physician they should be removed. Their air sence in such a case is an unqualified advantage. William Os _ (9) Defective Teeth—Sir l4r made the following statement 1902: in It the London Lancet, Oct. 21, I were asked to say whether more de¬ terioration was produced by alcohol, or by defective teeth, 1 should unhes itatlngly say, defective teeth. In some schools as many as 98 per cent of the pupils have defective teeth. From ■> to 75 per cent of all school children m this country need at this moment tental care.” pupils in From 5 to 98 per cent of the various schools of the United Stales have defective teeth, and all de¬ fective teeth are more or less injurious to health. Some of these defective teeth are deadly menaces. Defective teeth may produce the following direct result sc (lain of excruciating type, re¬ sulting in great loss of time and rest; foul breath with unsightly and in .' flamed mouth; mal-occlusion with faci¬ al deformities in some instances; im¬ proper mastication of food; extension of decay in sound teeth; decay of term porary teeth resulting in unsound and carious permanent teeth; infection ot glands; infection of maxillary hone, earache with otitis media and deafness, headache; distrubance of function of eye; f.equent digestive disturbance. Indirect effects due to faulty den¬ tition are: poor nutrition and lessened resistenee to disease: formation by carious teeth of an almost perfect cul turc bed for growth of pathogenic bacteria, a condition which, with low¬ ered resistenctfkleads to increased fre I'uency of inaction of pneumonia, general i diphtheria and rheumatism; and local infections dangerous to life in some cases, as endocarditis; results which accompany defective hearing, lowering of vitality and temporary or permanent ill health. W. D. T„ For Hypiene Committee. For Newton County and Her People. COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1921. EVERYBODY TALK UP OUR COUNTY FAIR ■lust seventy-three more days 'til our Newton County Fair. In other words, two whole months and twelve days. “What are you gonna do with ’em?” Get busy. That’s the thing to do. Mayor Odum, County Agent Luck, and Home Demonstration Agent, Miss An nie Lee are “getting down to their knitting”—and so must everybody else in town and county. The following ex¬ tract from The Industrial Index makes timely reading: Despite unusuaj conditions, the Southeast will have its usual quota of state, district and community fairs this fall. Fairs are important at all times, a: they express in a concrete and inter¬ esting way the spirit of progress and trial and domestic lines, and also have a social value that is important. Our people are so occupied many of them are so self-centered, that they do not meet and mingle together to the prop¬ er extent, and thus miss a great deal in life that is very much worth while. While these agrueuRural-industrial the usual scale at harvest time this fall. These annual expositions contain in themselves—both in exhibits and in the spirit of the enterprise—much m the way of stimulus and encourage meat, and have an effect wholesome and desirable. . _ BARBFjCI E GIVEN ORGAIZATION - The North Covington Social and Charitable Co-Operative Society Will have their annual barbecue Wednes day afternoon, August 10th at six o’clock.

ALMON DISTRICT CLUB The Woman’s Club of Almon dis¬ trict met last Thursday afternoon at the school house at Almon. A very interesting meeting was held. They have decided to meet only once a month, which will be the third Thurs¬ day' afternoons. Each member is urged to be present as there will he important business. At the next meeting Mesdamts 1 . H. and C. W. Berry and J. J. Ov\ ,.s will entertain at the home of Mrs. C. W. Bery at Almon. PEACH AND MELON CROPS BREAK RECORDS Macon, Ga.—Tin- bureau of markers announced yesterday that the totoi ^ peach movement from Georgia for the season was 9,600 cars, the heaviest in the history of this state. Watermelon shipments from Georgia thus far this season have totalled 11,000 cars which also breaks all records, it was said. A CONTRACT THAT DIDN’T CONTRACT If the citizens and the City Council of Covington are as much dis satisfied as they’ all claim to be with the present service, given by' the telephone company, and the rates charged for this service, why' isn't something done about it Why doesn’t the City, or some company of individuals, revive the Covington Telephone Company, and cut loose from the Southern Bell We understand that some such plan was suggested at a recent conference between the Council and a represen¬ tative of the Bell Company', but both sides backed off from the propo¬ sition, and left it severely out of the argument for the rest of the dis¬ cussion. The facts in the case are plain enough. We had—or rather we thought we had—a contract with the Southern Bell in regard to the rates which could be charged for phone service in Covington. Then the war came on. and the company sent a representative here to re¬ quest the Council to allow this contract to be set aside temporarily, until conditions became normal again. At this time the company clearly acknowledged the validity of this contract. Then, at the close of the war, rates were raised again, and when Covington protested and asked for a return to the rates contracted for. we were told that our contract was no good and never had been good at all; that the com¬ pany had kept to the rates agreed upon as long as it was to their inter¬ est to do so. andnow that it was no longer to their interest, the rates must go up. We do not believe that any body of men has either the moral or the legal right to say that a contract is void, and we believe that a law giving such a right is unconstitutional. A contract which can he voided at will by one of the parties is not binding, and is not a con¬ tract. We entered into this contract with the Southern Bell in good faith, and we kept our part of the agreement, though it proved not to be to our interest to do so. We understand that at h recent meeting of the City Council an ordinance was passed taxing the company one dollar per pole per year for each pole owned by the company within the city. The company was given thirty days notice of the passage of this ordinance, and was to be fined five dollars per pole additional if the tax was not paid within the thirty days given. Some thr- weeks ago a conference was held between the Council and two representatives of the company in regard to ii»e amount of this tax. but as yet we" have not learned the result of this conference. We are certain, however, that the thirty days given has expired, and so far as we have been able to learn, no tax has as yet been paid, and no fine collected. We see no practical good in passing ordinances of this character if they are not intended to be enforced. The Code of Ordinances con¬ tains already too much dead wood, and if Council desires to take any action along this line, we would recommend that they cut out some cf those which are never enforced, instead of making new ones and then letting them be forgotten immediately. We think, however, that this last ordinance is a good and just one, and should be enforced. We do not think that our City Council should allow itself to be intimidated and driven out of the fight by the mere fact that the other party to the contract is more powerful and has greater resources. We are in the right, so let’s put up the best fight of which we are capable. - LOVE FOR HEROES WHO GAVE LIVES WILL BE Nome Token \\ ill Re Placed on Flag Draped Coffin. Every casket that bears the body an American soldier on his way home from the fields of France, passes through Atlanta in the will bear a simple token that realizes and recognizes the love veneration in which, the dead be held. This was decided on night at a meeting of patriotic zations called by Atlanta post of American Legio f? held in the Congregational church. Practically all the patriotic of the city were represented at meeting. The legionnaires were the veterans of Foreign Wars, War Veterans, the War Mothers, j £ I .adies’ auxiliary reives enUU^s of the American oF n , n d Atlanta as a whole. The duty of Atlanta to the dead was eloquently outlined by Marcus Beck. “This is not 1 f d w, b the tenderness and veneration ! that f thelr SU€CeSB ^serves, : Gaptam J. T. Scanlan, post adjutant i of Fort McPherson, outlined what the ar my is doing in the handling of these coffins flag draped bodies are distributed from Atlanta all through the south. During their brief stay here between trains, they are handled by a detail of picked soldiers under the command of a commissioned officers. Every attention and tenderness possi ble is given. Captain Scanlan pointed out that there would be twenty-three bodies passing through Atlanta Wednesday morning and suggested that a short service could be held that morning at 8:3b o'clock before their distribution began. It was decided that representatives of all the societies should attend those first services and afterwards, a com¬ mittee from each of the societies should be o* t band to lay on each coffin some token of Atlanta’s love. After this token is placed on the caskets, a bugler will sound taps.

Salem Camp Meeting will begin its 9Sth annual session on Friday, August 12th and runs to August 19th. Exten¬ sile preparations are being made to make this session one of the most largely attended and successful in the history of the camp ground. A number of distinguished preachers will be on hand to assist Presiding Elder H. B. Mays, and Pastor J. T. Pendley, in carrying on the meeting. Bishop Warrerf Candler is expected to preach once each day and among the other ministers who will take part in the preaching are Revs. J. E. Ellis, of Covington; J. A. Sharp, of Oxford; Au¬ gustus Earnest, of Montieello; and others. Mr. R. L. Hicks, of Covington, assisted by Edward Lynn, of Decatur, will have charge of the music. The Salem camp meetings have for many years been a great event, and they are looked forward to by many thousands of people with high antici¬ pation. Extensive preparations are made many weeks in advance by sav¬ ing up and preparing good things tf> eat, and it looks this year that the at¬ tendance will be larger than ever. While Salem is a Methodist church there are a large number of Baptists, Presbyterians and others among those who own tents there and attend the meetings regularly, and the fullest of co-operation prevails. This year the managers have aranged with Mr. Gus Cole, of Decatur, to install a lighting system during the progress of the meeting. Mrs. W. O. Flowers, of Cov¬ ington will have charge of,the hotel. CIVII, RIGHTS BILL PASSED BY SENATE Women May Hold Office but not Re¬ quired to do Jury Duty. Atlanta—The woman’s citizenship bill of Senator J. H. Boykin, as amend¬ ed by the general judiciary committee, passed the senate today' by a vole of 34 to 4. The bill removed the civil dis¬ abilities of women and allows them to hold office in Georgia. The amendment stipulated tliat they shall not perform jury duty or do police or road work. No Business in Politics An effort of Senators L. C. Brown and J. R. Thomas to have the measure tabled brought many senators to their feet to urge the passage of the bill. Besides Senator Boykin, Senators Nix, Jones, Bond and Collum spoke for it. Senator Thomas in his speech took the view that women should be held liable for poll tax but should not be permitted to hold office for the reason that “they have no business in poli¬ tics.” A civil rights bill like the one pars¬ ed today in the senate has been pass¬ ed in the house. SPECIAL COMMUNICATION A special communication of Golden Fleece Lodge No. 6 is called for Fri¬ day, August 5th, 8:30 p. in., at which time our grand secretary, Bro. Frank F.

Two special coaches filled with mem¬ bers of the Georgia Assembly, passed through Cfovington Friday' afternoon enroute to Milledgeville, via the Cen¬ tral of Georgia Railway, to probe con¬ ditions at the State prison farm. Chairman A. J. Perryman, repre¬ sentative of Talbot county, stated af¬ ter the inspection, that the place is so badly handled it will be necessary to appoint and send back a sub-com¬ mittee to spend several days this week to get at the bottom of things. A conference with Senator R. W. Campbell, of Eighth District has been discussed. The declaration was made that* not one member of the prison commission ever knew Powers was confined at the state prison until they got notice of his escape and, when Powers was turned over to Warden Smith three county' officials of Fulton county took occasion to columned him as one of the finest fellows alike and asked for him special consideration. Represen¬ tative Knight, of Berrien, declared the prison is “a disgrace to Georgia.” Further probe of the prison condi¬ tions will be continued by the legisla¬ tive body upon its return to Atlanta, and. it is stated, members of the state prison commjssiion will be severely' grilled, as will also officials of Fulton county connected with the delivery of Powers. Members of the legislative commit¬ tees declared that they had found evi¬ dence in the state prison farm that led them to believe that prisoners were often allowed to escape, and they found the prison to be in a most un¬ sanitary shape and run very poorly. The aftermath of y'esterday’s visit by the joint committee from the gen¬ eral assembly to the state prison farm is surcharged with highly sensa¬ tional developments. It is known the committee is in possession of a mass of data bearing on the operation of the farm which can’t but lead to fur¬ ther revelations, and which it is un¬ derstood will go a long way to priz¬ ing the lid off Georgia’s prison sys¬ tem as has not been done since the old days of the lease system when convicts were hired out like so many animals for work in coal mines, in tur¬ pentine camps and on large planta¬ tions, Where they' became nothing short of slaves. ROGERS DAVIS SAILS FOR HOME Former Covingtonaii Will Arrive In New York Saturday After Won¬ derful Trip Abroad. Entertained By Royalty. Covington, in common with many frit ndu elsewhere, is on the qui vive awaiting the glad tidings that Rogers Davis has landed safely in New York. His ship is expected Saturday. During his attendance upon the Rotary convention and travels over¬ seas. Mr. Davis has written some ' interesting personal letters that very liis loved one have been gracious enough to share with the public. His description of scenes and places have been vivid. The American delegation was shown beautiful hospitality, French and Eng¬ land proved most friendly. Representing the International As¬ sociation of Rotary Clubs, which fill the burden of a high mission, Mr. Da¬ vis is among the world’s choicest who have dedicated themselves to work out in a holy service to hu¬ manity. It is predicted that one day Rotary will sit triumphant in a parliament of nations and rejoice in the brotherhood. Among the many functions attended Mr. Davis was a dinner given by Cleveland, Ohio, Rotarians, seven¬ ty-five guests were invited. A lunch Paris Club, 150 present; a perfect by the government in Paris, the department corresponding with U. S. Department of Commerce, 200 in¬ a garden party by the Duch de Vendome, sister to the Ki«g of Belgium. The London Rotary Club dedicated days to their entertainment. The reception at Buehingham palace very distinctive compliment. The in¬ reception was out of the usual. The king had each guest introduced by President of the International As¬ sociation, a Canadian. Then shook hands and chatted with each, individ¬ ually. The queen received them in like manner. Both were cordial and friendly. Their handshakes, smiles and inter¬ est in Rotary work showed them to be very human. Among scenes visited were: Chateau Therrity and Bellau Wood, General Foch and a Rotarian from Nashville, Tenn., a captain in the 3rd division, described the battle graphically. Half a dozen American officers in charge of removing American dead, were detailed as guides. Mr. Davis stood on the ridge, over which the ma¬ rines attacked and coud see the whole battle field. 3,500 graves of those who fell, were buried just under the hill. This party was accorded more cour¬ tesies than is usually included in the ordinary tourists itenerary. At the tonib of Napolean, in the Invalides, they were carried down into the ro¬ tunda, where the Sarcophagus is lo¬ cated, also many personal relics. The New York Club presented the Paris Club with a U. S. flag, typifying friendly relations. In conclusion, Mr. Davis says: “Paris is a marvelous city. It would have been the greatest crime in the world’s history if the Germans had gotten in. and we have never realized how near they came.” Good Printing at a reasonable price usually attracts the attention of the conservative buyer of printing—Let the News Office figure with you.
