NEW ZEALANDER CREATES
BIG EXCITEMENT IN MACON
Scientist and Explorer, Who
Dealt Deathblow to Zeppe
lin Raids on Poor and De
fenseless Women and
Children of London, Stirs
People of Macon
WIFE DECORATED BY
THE KING OF ENGLAND
His Greatest Discovery,
However, to Cause Even
Bigger Sensation and will
Affect Millions of Men and'
Women Everywhere
Macon has never witnessed such
a spectacle as may be seen every
day at Third and Cherry streets,
where John Pomeroy, the remark
able New Zealander, is meeting the
public and explaining his unique
theories.
It would be hard to estimate
just how many people call to see
Mr. Pomeroy during a single da}'.‘
The store where he makes his head- |
quarters seems to have become the
mecca for hundreds of people
anxious to see him and to 11';:;:'!
him tell his bewildering, but con
yvincing theories. |
Mr. Pomeroy has gained a world-
Ll ds anniatian . for Kiae antantifie
genius, and especially by giving the
Allies the means to stop the das
tardly German air raids on the
poor, defenseless women and chil
dren of London and the entire sur
rounding country.
The genius of the war's greatest
romance, the man who received
$125,000 from the British govern
ment as a partial recognition of the
obligation of the nation to him, the
“Saviour of London,” the man
whose wife was decorated by King
George of England personally for
“self sacrifice and meritorious ser
vice” in making up the lst 5,000
Pomeroy bullets herself when
others feared to go near ithem on
account of their high explosive
power, the man who could be
toasted and feted by royalty and
the nobility wherever he goes, if
he so desired, came to Georgia un
heralded. .
“Yes, it is true,” said his secre
tary when seen at the Hotel Demp
sey in Macon several days ago,
“that Mr. Pomeroy is the man who
created the explosive bullet that put
an end to the Zeppelin raids on
England.
“Words can but weakly picture
the terrors inflicted by those air
monsters of incarnate destruction,
the Zeppelins. s
“Imagine, if you can, a quiet,
home-loving community in England.
“It is nightfall—mothers tucking
away their precious, helpless little
tots for the night. Shades drawn,
lights burning cheerfully, and the
olde, %hildren gathered round the
table for the evening's study hour.
“Suddenly comes a tearing, mad
dening crash, rending the quiet
peace, followed by the horrible
mingle of screams of terror and
the agonizing cries of the mangled
victims,
“A devastating, death-reaping
bomb has been dropped into this
peaceful community of inoffensive,
helpless women and children, from
a huge Zeppelin manned by a crew
of fiends whose greatest joy lies in
deeds of unspeakable inhumanity.
“Until Mr. Pomeroy stopped the
Zeppelins from ravaging England,
the people of London were terror
stricken and afraid to venture out
from their places of hiding, know
ing that at any moment a German
bomb might fall right into their
midst and annihilate them. Imagine
such a condition in one of our own
cities, and then see the gratitude
of the people when the menace of
instant death is taken away. That
is hor ‘the people of Lendon and
entire England worshipped this
man when they saw the Zeppelins
brought down in flames one by one,
as fast as they came from their
haunts across the Seca. Everywhere
could be heard the now familiar
slogan: ‘Good old Pomeroy, we love
you,’ as each German air raider
fell, never t® harass the defense
less women and children of civiliza
tion again.
“Mr. Pomeroy does not consider
this his greatest achievement,
however,” continued his secretary.
“The bullet was just an incident in
connection with his life work,
which has been the conservation of
human life and alleviating the suf
fering. T'or years he has traveled
all over the Antipodes investigating

and testing the wonderful curative
properties of the plants that grow
on the South Sea Islands. Some of
these plants were known to the na
tive chiefs; others possessed prop
erties of which scientists had not
dreamed. He made many wonder
ful discoveries, the greatest of
which has proven to make men and
women enjoy the robust health na
ture intended. At the time of this
discovery, the scientist was almost
a physical wreck, but soon after,
by the aid of his own treatment,
he was able to regain his former
robust health, which he has enjoyed
ever since.”
To use Mr. Pomeroy's own words
—*“disease is just like the Zeppe
lin. It is just ds heartless and
cruel, and even more destructive
than the murderous airships of the
ruthless Hun. - It is also, as I have
demonstrated, just as vulnerable in
most cases to the right kind of
treatment. I have perfected a
medicine that conquers stomach
trouble, and the ills that result
therefrom, just as surely as my bul
let freed England from the terrors
of the assassins of the air, To my
mind, the bullet is a small and in
significant contribution to human
ity compared with my medicine,
which is, as surely as I live, des
tined to free multiplied thousands
from one of the most deadly and
cruel enemies of the human race.”
“Only recently,” said his secre
tary, “at the suggestion of a group
of business men and capitalists, he
consented to permit the use of his
product as a commercial proposi
tion, but then only when he was
convinced that in no other way
could he hope to reach and benefit
hundreds of thousands of people
who really needed his medicine. It
was shown to him that he could
only reach a limited number
through his own personal work,
whereas if his medicine were
placed within reach of those who
need it, everyone would have the
opportunity to beneflit from his
great discovery. However, Mr.
Pomeroy insisted that with every
bottle there would also be given a
guarantee that the purechaser is to
be returned his money if satisfac
tory results are not obtained.”
It is reported that quite a few of
the leading druggisis in this sec
tion have already taken steps to
get Mr. Pomeroy's famous medi
cine, which is called Puratone, so
the people here will have the op
portunity to benefit by it the same
as the people cof the big cities
where Mr. Pomeroy is visiting.
“Everywhere Mr. Pomeroy drives
home the basic truth,” remarked
his secretary, “that- the stom
ach is the organ that governs the
general health of all mankind, and
it is his theory that if the stomach
is toned up and strengthened, and
its functions properly directed, it
follows, as surely as the night fol
lows day, that the other organs of
the system will respond and that
robust health and strength will be
restored to the weak and sickly.
“He is surrounded by a mass of
data right now,” continued his sec
retary, “and you can depend upon
it that the results of his work will
be startling disclosures that will
make men think.”
U. S. LETS A CONTRACT ]
FOR FENCE ON THE BORDERi
Barbed Wire to Stop Smuggling on
The Mexican Line. |
CALEXICO, Cal.—Contract for a
border fence to separate Calexico
from Mexicalli has been let by the
United States government, and the
work is expected to be finished be
fore the end of January.
The fence will be 12,000 feet long,
6 feet high, with a barbed wire over
hand and will be of metal mesh at
tached to metal posts. There will be
gates for traffic and for the railroad
crossing the international line here,
and a turnstile at the customs house.
The fence is intended to aid in bet
ter regulation of the great flow of
‘daily international traffic, and to help
\in avoiding border clashes. Literally
thousands of persons pass and repass
the line daily here, and without some
means of regulation petty smuggling
and evasion of border regulations are
difficult to prevent.
ALL PERSONS RECEIVING MORE
THAN MINIMUM MUST FILE.
FAILURE MEANS A FINE.
LTy e
If you are an unmarried citizen
and made $l,OOO or more during the
calendar year 1919, or, if you are a
married man.and made $2,000 or
more during the calendar year, don’t
fail to file an income tax return.
There are certain provisions which
may exempt many men from paying
income tax, but the safest way is to
file a return before March Ist.
20,000 Exempted Persons Fined.
Because of their failure to file re
turns before March Ist last year 20,-
000 citizens paid fines of $5 each,
even though their incomes were not
within the taxable limit, according to
statistics. The law makes no excep
tions as to the filing of returns if the
income of the citizen was $l,OOO or
$2.000, as the case may have been.
Unmarried persons whose income
was $l,OOO or less, will not be taxed,
and the incomes of married men or
heads of families will not be taxable,
if his income is under $2,000. Addi
tional exemption is made to the mar
ried man or head of the family if he
is suporting one or more of the fami
ly under 18 years of age. This allows
an exemption of $2OO for each de
pendent member of the family.
This, For Example.
A married man or the head of a
family who is supporting two chil
dren under 18 years of age will be
exempted from income tax if his in
come does not exceed $2,400. Yet a
man of this status will be required to
file an income tax return, and is lia
ble to a fine for failure to do so. This
also applies to a single man who is
supporting a part of the family. If an
‘unmarried man is supporting one sis
ter, and his income is less than $l,-
200, he will be exempted. Yet, the
law requires that he file a tax return.
WORLD-WIDE PLANS
MADE BY CHURCHES
Budget of Inter-church World Move
ment Calls for Expenditure of
$1,350,000,000.
Back of the great conference at
Atlantic City, church leaders in Geor
gia express themselves as being
highly pleased with the plans which
have been made for co-ordinating the
energies of the protestant denomina
tions for the evangelization of the
world.
The budget of the Interchurch
World Movement calls for the ex
penditure of one billion and three
hundred and fifty million dollars in
the next five years.
Three hundred and twenty millions
of dollars are to be expended during
the present year.
Here is the way the money will go:
Evangelistic work in America and
foreign field; proper financing of hos
pitals and homes; liberal awards to
struggling colleges; for the fighting
of social and industrial unrest; bet
ter wages to both ministers and mis
gionaries,
A SPECIAL COMPLIMENT
TO REV. T. M. CALLAWAY
Dedicated Church Erected During His
Pastorate at Fitzgerald.
The current issue of the Fitzgerald
Enterprise prints this item of local
interest:
“The First Baptist church was fill
ed to overflowing Sunday morning
when Rev. T. M. Callaway, of Daw
son, former pastor of the church, de
livered the dedication sermon and as
;sisted by Rev. J. S. Singleton, pastor,
jburned the last evidence of indebted
ness for the church edifice. It was a
special compliment to Rev. Callaway
to have been invited to this epoch
making event of the church, as it was
{during his ministry that the church
]was planned and erected. The church
jwas erected at a cost of over $30,-
1000 and is one of the handsomest
‘houses of worship in South Georgia.” |

ASKS $250,000,000
MILLIONS OF ACRES IN SOUTH
COULD BE TURNED INTO
PROFITABLE FARMS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Legisla
‘tion authorizing an appropriation of
L 5250,000,000 for use in reclaiming
‘lswamp, overflow and irrigable lands
was proposed today by D. D. Ross, at
'a conference of representatives of
lsouthern governors, held here under
the joint auspices of the Southern
‘House of Governors and Southern
‘Commercial Congress.
This capital sum, the plan provid
ed, would be repaid over a period of
twenty-five years through a sinking
fund created by the sale of collateral
bonds issued on the reclaimedslands
by the federal farm loan board. The
amount is one-half of the appropria
tion authorized for reclamation proj
ects by the Smoot-Mondell bill, in
troduced at the last session of con
gress,
South Most Interested.
While the plan was designed to be
national in its scope, Mr. Ross declar
ed it to be of especial interest to the
south in-that about 70,000,000 of the
IS0,00(),OOO acres of swamp and over
flow land in the United States are
located in southern states,
| The south now contains the na
‘tion’s great reserve of agricultural
ilands, Mr. Ros§ said. The hundreds of
imillion acres of free agricultural land
|of our western domain have all been
|appropriated and utilized and are
lnow worth $l5O to $5OO per acre. ‘
; The great western frontier, the
'development of which during the past
| fifty years has established our na
'tional wealth and power, is no longer |
'a frontier. The frontier has been |
;shifted to the south.” 1

BOOKKEEPING with Burroughs Machines is displacing book
keeping with pen and ink in all kinds of business, every
where. ;
A Burroughs makes bookkeeping work practically automatic. It
enters the items, classifies them, totals debits, totals credits, sub
tracts and prints the balance and dates everything—all with un
failing accuracy and great speed.
CALCULATING, Though, Is The Big Universal
Figure-Job That Underlies A!ll Business.
There must be calculating before adds and subtracts giving the correct
figures are ready for the bookkeeper result in practically the time it takes
to enter—the sum of two or more the operator to read the items to be
. numbers must be found; discount figured. That is why thousands of
- . must be figured and deducted; multi- business houses—llarge and small, in
plications or subtractions must be every line of business—are using
worked out, and if percentages are Burroughs Calculators,
required, there is division also. All of Here are a few of the common uses
these processes may be necessary of the Burroughs Calculator: Extend

which is the only thing to be written pay rolls; preparing cost figures;
down on the ledger page or invoice or proving freight bills; extending: in

That is the work of the Burroughs profits, ete.; checking deposit slips;
Calculator. It multiplies, divides, calculating interest.
