entire centre of the Audiorlum was
set aside and occupied by the women

appearance. The choir was entirely
comprised of men and the wings of
the church were also filled with men
folks.
An interesting feature was the pres
ence of a number of visitors from
Waresboro who came to Waycross to
hear this great speaker. The singing
was superb, and when Mrs*. Butler
sang the glorious song "The Holy
City” a wave of intense interest swept
over the gathering*.
At the close of the sermon

reception of members and six

It's the natty little “Fixings” that

shirts, ties, pretty hosiery, with a
dainty line of underwear.
To look and feel “summery” is an easy matter

CITY LOSES PARK. .
The first matter to be discussed
was the Houck Park question Aider-
man Brewer ns Chairman of the com
mittee on that matter, recommended
that in view of the far, that Mr. Houck
was willing to pay the city for the
work lone in Improvements on tlia
park, that the park be returned to Mr.
Houck. This was eventually carried.
Aldeman Calvin W. Parker being the
only one o protest against it at all.
Mr. A. S. Morton called attention
to the fact that the city were falling

Mr. T. J. McClellan came before

SANITARY CONOITION. |
Rev. J. P. Harbin called attention
This was “ho rely of Manuel L.
Quezon, resident commissioner of the
Philippines to the. United States, when
asked whether he look any stock in '
the constantly recurring Japanese war
rumors.
"No country on earth,” continued
Mr. Quezon, "would dnro to provoke
the United States into war if it did
not have this outlyfhg dependency in
the far Eaut.
"All naval authorities agree that the
United States could not hold the
Philippines againBt Japan. The ex
penditure of hundreds of millions of
dollars on fortifications would be nec
essary to make the Philippines safe
from Japan invasion.
"Some say that if the Philippines
were taken by Japan the United Sta
tes could eventually recover them.
Yes, but in the meantimo the Philip
pines would be the sceno of the war,
with all its horrible consequences fall
ing upon the FUllpino people who
would be the victims in human lives
sacrificed and in the terrible desrtuc-
tlon of property which obviously could
not be avoided, it would be the final
blow to the prosperity of my country.
"Such being jthe {case )it is the
moral duty of United States to save
the Philippines from this d oger, be
cause. the honor and fultli of -the Un
ited States are pledged to the welfare
of my country.
‘And the simplest way for Uncle
Sant <to put a quietus to war talk is
to give the Philippines o neutralized
cpublic. Without tho . Philippines—
without this weuk link In Its military
chan, and a chain is never stronger
than Its weakest link—Uiacle Sam
could take care of himself. If the
demonstration farm of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad at
Byrqmv^IIe. Should these expecta
tions be realized it will most likely
be the means of transforming many
acres of south Georgia land into truck
gardens and fields for the cultivation
of products hitherto untried In thin
section.
The industrial department of the A.
B. & A., established the demonstration
farm at Byromvllle last year, under
arrangements with J W. Byrom & Son
with a view to testing tho araptablll-
ty of the soils in that section for
truck gardening and other farming Ui-
dusries. The first crop experiment
ed with was mainly from seeds of
Georgia products, only they wew
planted and cultivated along the
most scientific methods. The financial
si ccess of this experiment was so
conspicuous that the Industrial depart
men of the rlad put the farm's fin
ancial statement into the form of a
circular and distributed it widely
i.iroughout the west and northwest
with he result that ftiuny new set
tlers wero attracted to tho A., B. &
A. territory.
This year he industrial department
was fortunate enough to obtain from
the givernment agricultural depart
ment at Washlngtin a quantity of
special seed, an dthese have been for
warded to the Byromvllle demonstra
tion farm for immediate planing. Th*
list if seed in this shipment Includes
mnny different kind.
