Ilk subject was “Who Are They, y What are They, and , TTr Why , They ‘ are Here ” At the court , . house at 8 clock o In the evening people from far and near gathered t„ heal Mr. J, Q. Nolan who is makine inaaing . speec ts a ovei the country in behalf of the organization. The court house was filled to the limit. The speaker held his listeners spell j bound fr ° m *tart to finish: his talk | h the °“»' belief The of Je.n. main Christ, the true American and tbe Constitution of the United States. He sounded the warning against mixing the white blood with an inferior race. On many occasions he was interrupted with applause from his audience. He said it was “not the purpose of the Ku Klux Klan to interfere with the Jew who wished to worship in the Synagog, or the Catholic who worshipped in the Cathedral, but those who were wor¬ shippers of Jesus Christ should main¬ tain that privilege.” Also said “that since many crimes had been committed by masked parties who were not Klans men, thereby putting the burden of criticism upon the order, a rule had been made that robing in public by the organization would not be tblerated in future.” OXFORD PLANS TRADE BOARD A “get-together” community meeting was held Wednesday evening at the aud itorium in Oxford, and a goodly number of representative citizens were present. L. W. Jarman presided, and set forth the object of the meeting in a ringing, talk. He stated that it was proposed to organize the business men of the town into a board of trade, looking to the up¬ building and welfare of Oxford. These were to formulate plans Tor putting de¬ sirable property on the market, and to direct the attention of those looking for a desirable location to the educational religious and social advantages of the town. A number of enthusiastic speeches were made,and anotehr meeting was announced for Sunday afternoon. EMORY UNIVERSITY ACADEMY IMPROVED Work on the new dormitory is pro¬ gressing rapidly. Science hall, a splen¬ did building, and admirably suited for the purpose, is being converted into a dormitory with fifty-two rooms, thus housing one and four boys, in addition to those located in the Haygood dor¬ mitory.

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1922. | RELIEF FOR CANE GROWERS IN TRANSPORTING PRODUCTS Atlanta, Ga., August 3—Short line railroads in Georgia are to become par¬ ties to the recent r „ e tariff „ KM by the trunk line railroads permitting canning and refining privileges in transmit on syr up qnd molassds, according to announce ment today by James A. Perry, of the Georgia Railroad Commission. This means that cane growers will be Permitted to ship their product on a through freight rate, with the privelge of stopping the shipment enroute for canning and refiniing. This removes one of the great barriers in successful¬ ly marketing syrup, as it enables the growers to get the product from the farm before fermentation sets up in the early spring and have it canned .which enables them to hold it off of the market until a satisfactory price is available. Heretofore the growers have -been forced to rush their syrup to the market in fear of fermentation, with the result that the price is always low¬ est while the grower is selling. Some months ago Commissioner Perry took up with the trunk line car¬ riers the question of such transit priv¬ ileges on syrup and molasses, later handling inter-state movements with the Interstate Commerce Commission carrying the same privilege, with the result that market points in many sec¬ tions west of the Mississippi river have been opened to the Georgia cane gr'ow It is argued by those at interest that many thousand barrels of syrup - and molasses will now reach a desirable market which has heretofore been lost on the farm from fermentation. GEORGIA’S TIMBER RESOURCES MENACED A few years ago the state of Geor¬ gia was producing more lumber than any other in the United States. According to government reports for the year 1920, Georgia has dropped to fifteenth place. What Will It Be in 1930? Our timber resources are fading away. W hen the forests have disappeared, what then? A few years ago lumber was valued at from $12 to $15 per thousand feet. Today, it is being sold for from two to four times as much. The law of supply and demand is working day and night—the supply growing less every day, and the de¬ mand getting greater. Shall we do nothing, not even make a try, at keeping our timber resources sufficient to meet our local or state de¬ mand? Please be informed of the situation and don’t let any one mislead you. If you desire correct official informa¬ tion about your timber resources in the state of Georgia, write to Col. W. B. Greeley, Chief Forester, Agricultural Department Washington, D. C. Ask him how long will our present stand of timber continue to meet our requirements if left unprotected from fire and nothing done whatever towards reforestation. The price of our food, clothing, shel ter and everything is dependent upon our ability to box and crate it cheaply. Your books and paper are made <*f wood. MR. GARY GOES TO CHARLOTTE Mr. J. N.

"NO MORE WAR” SIGNS EXCITE INTEREST The posting of “No More War” pla¬ cards around Covington on the morn¬ ing of* Saturday, July 29th, excited much curiosity and elicited many questions. The activity was under the direction of the local W. C. T. U., in observance of the Inter-national “No More War” demonstration, July 29-30, as inaugu¬ rated by the National Council for re¬ duction of armaments and to create a sentiment against war. History of “No More War” Demonstra¬ tions. Beginning in three cities on the con¬ tinent in 1920, “No More War” demon¬ strations were held last year in 200 cit¬ ies in France and Germany. This year ten nations of Europe are participat¬ ing. England, France, ( Germany, Hol¬ land, Sweden, Austria, CzechcfS|lova kia, Hungary, Portugal and Switer land. In England, committees have been formed in all communities and the demonstration took the form of lo¬ cal processions and mass meetings. The Central committee in London includes many distinguished men of the clergy, army and parliament. Plan for the United States (As adopted at meeting of National Council for reduction of armaments, June 13. All organizations are urged to participate). 1. A “bombardment for peace” in the form of messages to the president and congress expressing the desire of the people to have this government conference' follow up the Washington with a further step toward world peace. Mes¬ sages to he sent by mail, wire or radio. The sending of the messages can he made a dramatic occasion by having them brought to a public square and sent simultaneously, with appropriate speeches, etc. Additional features were used wher¬ ever local communities desired. The churches, newspapers, governors, may¬ ors and other officials were asked to participate. Ministers preached Sunday, the 30th, on the theme of "No More War.” Ten nations of Europe and the United States held “No More War” demonstration on July 29-30, the week¬ end preceding the outbreak of the world war, “to express the will of the people to end war forever.” All groups interested in world peace without re¬ gard to methods advocated for estab¬ lishing it took part. GEORGIA SENATOR RANKS HIGH ON COMMITTEES Atlanta^ Ga,, August3.—United States Senator William J. Harris will move up one place in seniority on the Senate Appropriations committee after next March 4 because of the defeat of Senator Culberson, of Texas, it was commented on here today, which places the Georgia senator as the third rank¬ ing democratic senator on the most powerful committee in congress. On the minority side, Senator Harris is only junior to Senators Overman, of North Carolina, and Owen, of Oklaho¬ ma, while he is followed by Senators Glass, of Virginia, and Jones, of New Mexico. Senator Harris is on six of the im¬ portant sub-committees which handle appropriation bills under the new sen¬ ate rules changed to conform to the budget law. It is expected tljat a hard fight will he waged in Democratic circles after next March 4 to fill the vancancy caus¬ ed by the retirement of Senator Culber¬ son as membership on the appropria¬ tions committee is eagerly sought. Senator Overman, ranking minority member, would likely take the chair¬ manship of the judiciary committee, of which he is democrat and Sena¬ 4 senior tor Own will likely take the chairman¬ I ship of the banking and currency colli¬ m ,- t j ee> w pi cb bt . , s tbe sen j 0 v de _____ m orrat j n ease the democrats \vin the senate. That would place Senator Har¬ ris in fine for the Appropriations chair¬ manship. FACTS WORTH KNOWING 1. Nine girls out of every ten marry —one girl out of every hundred marries wealthy. 2. Ninety per cent of all the money brought into the home is spent by wo¬ men. 3. Twenty-five to fifty per cent are under nourished largely due to inade¬ quate or improper foods of our school children, rich and poor. 4. There are more women in Georgia engaged in the occupation of home making than in all other occupations combined. 5. The State of Georgia •furnishes less than one cent per woman a year for home making training of women and girls. AT;. ANTI AN DROWNED IN YELLOW RIVER While seihing in Yellow river with a number of companions Monday after¬ noon about 5 o'clock. Mr. Lindsey Gor¬ don Houseworth was drowned. Mr. William Robinson, a member of the party, in attempting to swim out of the stream with a heavily loaded sack of fish and his seifte, dropped the latter. Mr. Hotu»gwppth obligingly offer¬ ed to recover the net. He waded into the water which was deep and swift, and was quickly swept under by the current. A searching party dragged the bed of Yellow river from 5 o’clock un¬ til 11 o’clock Monday night, when the body was recovered. The tragedy occurred twelve miles south of Covington, a quarter of a mile above Pickett’s Bridge. Mr. Houseworth and 'his wife, who was Miss Ruth Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Williams, of Ox¬ ford. were on a vacation visit to their Oxford relatives. Many picnics and pleasure parties had been arranged in their honor. Mr. Houseworth Qtvas recognized as one of the best jewelry salesman in At¬ lanta. He was in the employ of E. A. Morgan, 10 East Hunter street. Besides his wife, Mr. Houseworth is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Houseworth, of Moreland, Qa., and several brothers and sisters, also a wide family connection. The remains were carried to Atlanta Tuesday afternoon accompanied by a number of relatives and friends from Oxford and an escort of Atlanta friends. 0 _ The funeral took place in St. Paul’s Methodist church, Atlanta, Rev. Wal¬ ter G. Crawley officiating. Interment in West View cemetery. Pall bearers and escort were selected from the stewards of St. Paul’s church. FOB THE PRESBYTERIAN MANSE Rev. and Mrs. C. B. Tomb could have x '.aimed in the language of Robert Lovcman: “It is not raining rain to me, It is raining luxury.” When a kitchen shower deluged the lawn of the Presbyterian Manse. Mem¬ bers of that enterprising denomination attended bearing every conceivable utensil for the comfort and conveni en of Milady of the Manse.” A number of games proved interest¬ ing diversion. An observation contest put the com¬ pany on its mettle and encouraged a mental feat. Cake and cream were the refresh¬ ments. A SHORT TALK By J. Marvin Rast, CIVILITY The proprietors of the two-story buses that ply up and down Fifth Avenue in New York City recently featured the word, “Civility” in their business. This one word printed in letters a foot long was placarded on the outside of every bus, doubtless with a view of establish¬ ing more general relations between the sight-seeing public and the bus opera¬ tors. This it did I am sure. But the effect was more far-reaching. As the buses rolled along the avenue thousands of disinterested shoppers and merchants had their attention arrested by the si lent sermon which was being preached by that one word “Civility.” I can think of no better guiding prin¬ ciple for city people who are constantly clashing brawn and wit in the busy marts of trade. There is scarcely a better one for people anywhere. All of us get our spirits ruffled oc¬ casionally, and say things that we later regret. Of course it would pay us not to say them, although we may feel justifiable Ln doing so at the time. I often wonder how telephone opera¬ tors, for instance, can keep pleasant with the many provocations they have to lose their tempers. But then I re¬ member that they are no exception, and that everybody has his trials. In my dealings at a certain depart¬ ment store, I have frequently waited fifteen minutes to get the services of a particular clerk. I like him because I always find him pleasapt, honest and courteous. Furthermore, he seems to appreciate my visit whether I purchase from him or not. and this especially appeals to me. Such an employee is a considerable asset to a business. This is a simple illustration of civility bringing in financial profits. It is like¬ wise profitable in countless other way's. Civility is worth the self-control it takes to acquire it.
