Theme Legion Film
to Be Shown Here
On Thursday, Feb. 7, “The Man
Without a country” will be shown at
the Grand 'i neat re undo*’ the auspices
of the B. L. I. Pcs’ No. 1-0.
its story jump*-: fro a tho days of
the World War back to tha times of
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Bu:r,
and snows how patriotism is aroused
in two men unaer two sets of cir
cumstances.
Arnold Daly, in the cha;ao‘;ar of
Philip Nolan, is shown as a follower
oi Aaion Burr in tne attempt to es
taimsn an independent state of Texas
for tne purpose of making war on the
united states. Nolan, a lieutenant in
tne united States army, damned the
united states and expressed the wish
mat he snouid never see or hear of it
aguin. ahe trial judges instructed
mat his wish should be his sentence,
it was, Ana Noian was sent aboard
cue uoustituuon, the country’s most
uoieu battiesnip of that age, the early
aouu s. jtie was transien ed trom ship
to snip, always at sea, and never al
lowed to see tne snores of the country
ne had damned, nor was he ever al
lowed to near of it.
With time came reflection. At first
Noian tried to treat ms predicament
as a joke. But wnen tne gravity of it
settieu in his mind —with tne nunger
tor nis country, ms family, his sweet
neart, wno nau been so laitnful to him
and whom he had deserted for the mo
ment tor a faitniess woman—he be
came a broken man, resigned to his
late. The omcers with wncin he was
associated became more tolerant of
mm, silently pitying him.
And tnrougn a series of adventures
Nolan revealed his love of country. As
an instance, when hte Algerian pirates
attacked the Constitution. Noian step
ped into the breach and fighting like a
madman, saved the ship just as the
pirates reached the power magazine
with flaming torch. He had proven
then and even before then, that he
valued the honor of his country far
above his life. He was a pentitent
patriot He was commended by the
commanding officer, worshipped by his
associates; but deserving as he was
of pardon, they were honor bound to
enfroce his sentence. Not even then
could they tell him what his eyes so
dumbly plead for—news of his country
how it was faring.
Nolan grew to be a silent , palsied
old man, a patriot among patriots, lov
ing devotedly that which he had denied
and damned —his country. On his
death bed be begged to be allowed to
kiss the flag, and the officers had not
the heart to deny his request.
This story is in the form of a flash
back from modern times when a young
man has to choose whether he will
serve his country or not.

Three Savannah
Boys Attempt to
Beat Garage Man
Three young men hailing from Sa
vannah, reached Waynesboro Tuesday
night, riding in a cut down car—one
of those bullet shaped aifairs some
time misnamed a “racer” They called
at Marchman’s garage to get oil, and
after being served by Mr. McGahee
who is always a most affable and
pleasant gentleman, especially with
customers —wno asaed if gas was neeu
eu and ten gallons was put in their
tank at their request, and another
quart of oil was also added to the
purchase. They stated that they were
on tneir way to Atlanta.
Alter completing tneir purchase, the
car was started up quickly and they
sped on their way without even a
tnank you to friend Mac.
Not to be outaone by the boys, Mc-
Gahee quickly put a rast car in com
mission, and with an officer started in
auu uud nae Mazcppa CU Ills
untamed steed. Put his machine in
high and held it at the 55 mark on the
speedometer, and literally “burnt the
wind.” He made Gough in quicker
time than it takes us to tell it. He
started out the Gough-Vidette road to
the “Dixie” Highway, but paused a
moment to listen; when he heard
the builet shaped car driven by the
boys humming in the distance. A few
seconds and they passed each other—
tne boys mistaking the road to Gough
They were ordered to stop but think
ing they could out run Mac. they
spurted up, when a shot or two from
the pursuers fired in the air made the
boys step on the gas, but they failed,
for Mac’s car quickly closed up the
gap between them and the boys stop
ped and gave up the race.
They were brought back to Way
nesboro where they wired home for
money enough to settle their garage
bill and they were allowed to go with
a lecture from Mac. which they said
they appreciated, as he had been much
kinder to them than they had reason
to expect. They went away on the
mad to Savannah.
Tom Hamilton
Says Georgia Will
Back Native Son
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 29.—Georgia is
going to line up practically 100 per
cent for her native son, Hon. William
G. McAdoo, in the presidential pref
erence primary on March 19th, accord
ing to Thos. J. Hamilton, chairman
of the Georgia McAdoo movement, who
has just returned from Atlanta, where
state headquarters have been opened
at the Kimball House, with Miller S.
Bell, of Milledgeville, lifelong friend
of Mr. MicAdoo, as headquarters
manager. Managers from over the
state have also been appointed and the
McAdoo organization is working like
a well oiled machine.
“The women of Georgia are going to
be practically 100 per cent for the
native Georgia, born in Cobb county,
near Marietta, and a woman's com
mittee, of which Mrs. Edgar Alexan
der, of Atlanta, is chairman, has been
named. Mrs. Alexander will appoint
an executive committee of one promi
nient woman from each Congressional
District”, continued Mr. Hamilton.
“Early in March Mr. McAdoo will
come to Georgia and a monster home
coming is planned for him at Marietta
where he will view his birthplace and
see again the old black mammy who
rocked him in the cradle. Mr. Mc-
Adoo’s first wife was Miss Sallie Flem
ing, of Lincoln county, whom he knew
a young man at Milledgeville, the Mc-
Adoo family having moved from Cobb
county to Milledgeville while the ais
tniguished candidate for the presiden
cy was a lad.”
“William G. McAdoo is being fierce
ly fought by Tamany Hall, which organ
ization is putting out stalking horses
in many of the state, men whom Tam
many knows have no chance of the
nomination. Anybody to beat McAdoo
is the slogan, because McAdoo is a
progressive democrat and a friend of
the people. He is the only candidate
before the people of Georgia today
who has any chance whatever to get
the democratic nomination and when
he is nominated he is going to be el
ected.”
“Georgia will go to the polls in al
most solid phalanx on March 19th, and
do her part toward putting the first
Georgian in the White House who has
ever been president, and the opportu
nity may not come again in many
years. ‘Georgian’ is our slogan.”

Dunlap Returns
From Meeting in
Washington City
Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 24, 1924.—Ed
gar B. Dunlap, Commander of The
American Legion, Department of Geor
gia, has returned from Washington
where he attended a meeting of the
National Legislative Committee which
assembled for the purpose of assisting
in the fight for Adjusted Compensa
tion. When interviewed Mr. Dunlap
stated: “The passage of the Adjusted
Compensation Bill is assured, even
over the President’s veto. It will pass
the House of Congress overwhelming
ly. It will pass the Senate with more
than a two third majority. Howev
er, the moneyed interests of the coun
try and many of the great daily news
papers of the country are putting on
an intensive campaign against the Bill
and the representatives are being
flooded with mimegraphed letters of
the same tenor signed by the em
ployees of the great corporations. All
the representatives from the state of
Georgia, in both the Senate and
House, are for the Adjustde Compen
sate Bill, and are fignting a staunch
fight in behalf of the 118,000 ex-service
men of Georgia, basing their fight up
on the constitutional prinicple that
the duty to defend the United States
in time cf war rests equally upon
all citizens and that neither a man’s
property nor his time can be taken
without adequate compensation. The
plan of paying the bonus and of reduc
ing taxes at the same time is practi
cable and feasible and will result in
benefit to more than 6,000,000 people,
while Mellon’s plan will only benefit
7,000 of the wealthy citizens, the ma
jority of whom live in the northern
states. The adoption of the plan will
bring millions cf dollars to Georgia
| and will mean a great impetus to our
state.

the country was used in growing farm
crops last year. The department of
agriculture calculates that total acre
age of all crops at 372,829,000 acres or
582,608 squrae miles. Farm crops pro
duced, net merely those sold, hai a

All Linotype Edition of The True Citizen
Composed Entirely on Model 14 Machine
This week’s edition of The True
Citizen will go into the homes of more
than 1,800 people, some going all ov
er the United States, as a number of
extra copies have been printed fcr
the Mergenthaler Linotye Company, of
New York, for their Southern Branch,
managed by Mr. Fred W. Bott, of New
Orleans.
Last July The Citizen installed one
of the new Model 14, single keyboard
machines in its office and has been get
ting out practically an all machine set
newspaper since.
The edition was composed entirely
on this model 14, single keyboard ma
chine, with the exception of the news
paper heading “The True Citizen” and
the cuts used in the paper. The rules,
column rules, borders, type and all
composition was set during the reg
ular week’s work. During the month
of December we printed in one week
an edition cf 14 pages that was about
95 per cent linotype composition, and
the follownig week a 20 page edition
that carried even more than 95 per
cent linotype composition. Only the
larger lines were hand set, and these
above 30 point type. Our machine is
equipped with a motor; six faces cf
type at the operator’s hand at all times
s with out moving from his seat at
the keyboard, a gasoline burner and
we get a good slug from it. Like all
things mechanical it gets in trouble
once in a while, but our observaticn is
that the machine is almost ‘ fool
proof”. Our machinest operator, Mr.

are being made for a most enjoyable
occasion. In fact it will be the big

splendid program is also being arrang

office, altho any of the men in the of
fice can use the machine. Mr. Manau
takes care of the machine and handies
a large quantity of intricate job forms
along with his other work, and altho
not equipped as a job machine The
Citizen has turned out some very pleas
ing jobs with it.
The installation of the model 14
has eliminated from our office the old
fashioned stands and racks that were
necessary in hand set days, and this
very fact has saved us the handicap of
cramped floor space. This bas saved
us additional rent and we consider the
purchase most economical and cortan
iy our efficiency has been increased
wonuerfully. The linotype is the
greatest addition that can be made in
the composing room and is sure time
saver and money maker. In face no
office is complete without one. It is
the best friend the pubilsher has and
the office without one is paying for it
without getting the benefit of it.
We have also a new Miehle two rev
olution press, and this machine with
our new model 14 linotype and other
equipment keeps us abreast of the
times in this progressive age.
We would not do business without a
linoytpe machine, the handicap would
be too great. With it we knew we
have a dependable*servant who is al
ways ready for service at the touch of
the keys.
The equipment of the machine we
have in our office is given in a box on
the front page shown for they can
be seen anywhere in the paper.

Another Effort
to Organize Boy
Scout Troup Here
A number of the schcol boys inter
ested in the Boy Scout movement met
with Hon. H. C. Hatcher Monday af
ternoonrto discuss the organization of
a Boy Scout Iroop in Waynesboro.
Flans lor organization were uiscussed
ana much interest was manifested at
the meeting. Mr. Hatcher was asked
by the Rotary Club several weeks ago
to take charge of this movement and
was delayed on account of Gov. Wal
ker’s extra session of the legislature
and this meeting was the first oppor
tunity he has had to talk to the boys.
The Citizen hopes the organization
of the Boy Scouts will be perfected
and that the bays will take an interest
sufficient to keep it alive. Mr.
Hatcher will do his part toward mak
ing it a success if the boys stick with
him.
