Red Cross Roll
Call Plans Made
Campaign plans for the forthcom
ing Tenth Annual Roll Call of the
American Red Cross are being map
ped now by officers of the local
chapter, it was announced today by
Mr. H. C. Hatcher, chairman Roll
call drive for Burke county.
The Roll Call, the chairman ex
plained, is the annual membership
enrollment conducted throughout
the country each year from Armis
tice Day, November 11, to Thanks
giving. By means of the Roll Call
the organization secures funds with
which to cr'ary on its program both
in local chapters and in work of nat
ional and international scope.
Tentative plans provide a plan
whereby every resident will be per
sonally invited to join the ranks, it
is stated.
“The American Red Cross,” the
chairman said, “is entitled to the
support of every person in the
country who has a dollar or’ more to
invest in humanity. The organiza
tion is the only one in the country
qualified to administer disaster re
lief on a large scale and this it does,
as directed by its charter from Con
gress, and as evidenced by its pres
ent stupendous task in Florida.
“It is our most effective instru
ment for’ helping the unfortunate in
our own community, in the United
States and in foreign countries. This
county is one of several thousand
who will conduct a Roll Call during
the two weeks designated by Nat
ional- Headquarters.
“When the last returns are in I
hope to be able to report that Burke
county has done its part in enlist
ing public support, financial and
moral. Putting the Roll Call over
will let us feel that we have had a
personal share in the many humani
tarian services of the Red Cross dur
ing the coming year. The Ameri
can Red Cross knows neither race,
nor creed. It is non-poiltical. It
sees in suffering only a challenge to
accept. In lending our support we
are making possible a continuance of
tis good work.”
Grand Theatre Buys
Wonderful Machine
to Furnish Music
The Grand Theatre has purchased
a wonderful music machine and will
install it at an early date. It is the
Famous Reproduco Player Pipe Or
gan which is a masterpiece of con
struction and reproducers the organ
tones with all the exacting shadings,
just as the artist produced them orig
inally.
The Grand has gone to consider
able expense in purchasing this in
strument, but the management says
nothing is too good for Waynesboro
movie fans. The pictures are best
and latest obtainable and with good
music to go with them the pniblic
should continue to give the Grand
their unstinted support.

Savage Named
National Head
of The Legion
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 15.—How
ard P. Savage, of Chicago .today
was elected national commander of
the American Legion in what was
the stiffest fight for the office in the
history of the organization.
The election was made by accla
mation when the national conven
tion was in an apparent deadlock.
His principal opponent was Colonel
J. Munro Johnson, of Marion, S. C.,
who withdrew while the 21st ballot
was being taken. The delegates
struggled for nearer five hours to
break the deadlock.
It took but a few minutes to name
the other officers, who are:
Vice commander, J. G. Sims, Mary
ville, Tenn.; Thomas Busha, Helena,
Mont.; John A. Towne, Waterville,
Mains; Stafford King, Minneapolis,
Minn.; and chaplain, the Rev. Joseph
J. N. Wolfe, rector, of St. Barbara’s
Catholic church, Philadelphia.
The national commander’ is gener
al superintendent of maintenance of
way of the Chicago Elevated Rail
way and is 42 years old. He was a
member of the 55th engineers and
served with his regiment in France as
a first lieutenant in constructing and
repairing railroads.
The Legion today conferred the
title of “honorary commander of
the American Legoin” upon Marshal
Foch and General Pershing for the
distinguished services in the world
war of these commanders.
Mrs. Adalin Wriht MacAuley,
Menominee, Wis., was elected presi
dent of the American Legion auxili
ary at the final session of its con
vention today.
Circus Pleases Big
Crowd on Thursday
Walter L. Main's Circus visited the
city Thursday and pleased a large
crowd at the show grounds. The
show while not one of the largest
on the road was clean, and had some
very fine acting. The aci'obats, the
Japanese troupe, the horse back
riding and various other acts were
high class and well worth seeing. Of
course there were clowns, who
played jokes and pranks and pleas
ed children and grown-ups with the
funny antics. Taking the show as
a whole it could not be improved on.
It came to Waynesboro with a
large number of rumors concerning
them and their treatment of the peo
ple, but after it was all over and they
are gone, there was nothing to mar
the day and no trouble of any kind
was had anywhere following their
visit. The management was cour
teous and tried to please and our
people enjoyed their visit.

Direct Cable to
Germany Coming
Direct cable communications be
tween the United States and Ger
many for the fir'st time in twelve
years will be established this fall.
This line of communication wlil
make use of the Western Union’s
high speed permalloy cable between
New York and the Azores and it is
hoped that New York will have direct
connection with Berlin and Ham
berg. The connection between Ed
den, the German cable terminus, and
a point off the English channel has
already been laid and the section
between there and the Azores will
be laid, shortly. It will be a high
speed cable similar in construction
to the world’s fastest cable between
New York and London.

Augusta Great
Cotton Market
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 20.—The Augus
ta Cotton Exchange, which is the of
ficial organization of the bankers,
cotton factors, cotton buyers, cotton
exporters, cotton brokers and cotton
merchants in Augusta is issuing a
statement relative to Augusta as a
cotton market. The fact that Au
gusta has one firm that has been
doing business for 102 years without
interruption and that there are sev
eral others that have been in busi
ness from 50 to 75 years is set forth,
strinkingly illustrataiig the stability
of Augusta cotton men and demon
strating their experience in this par
ticular field of endeavor.
For nearly two centuries Augusta
has been one of the leading cotton
markets of the world and it is re
markable to note that in spite of
decreased production and boll wee
vil depredations Augusta is still hand
ling an immense volume of cotton.
In the banner year for Georgia and
South Carolina, when a little more
than 4,000,000 bales of cotton were
made in the two states, Augusta re
ceived 518,000 bales of cotton in one
year, while during the past season
although Georgia and South Carolina
made onl yabout 2,000,000 bales, Au
gusta receiver 369,989 bales of cot
ton or at the ratio, compared with
the former receipts, or approximate
ly three quarters of a million bales
an nually.
Augusta cotton men, bankers and
other financial interests are giving
every aid possible to the farmers
under present conditions, With ade
quate facilities to store 250,000 bales
of cotton in bonded warehouses,
equipped with sprinkler system, giv
ing the lowest rates of insurance,
Augusta offers ample opportunity to
the farmers and cotton men of the
entire Augusta district to utilize the
advances on the most favorable
terms have been made on cotton
stored in Augusta warehouses.
The fact that Augusta is in such
proximity to South Atlantic ports as
to open the markets of the world
and with the further advantage of
the enormous number of South Caro
lina mills hight at Augusta’s door,
together with local consumption
amounting to upward of 100,000 bales
of cotto nevery years, insures to the
farmers the greatest possible returns
for their cotton. In addition to this,
the advantageous freight rates are
enjoyed by Augusta, the advantages
of which are passed along to the
growers in increased prices.
The Augusta Cotton Exchange is
standing back of the cotton business
in Augusta as an organization that
will insure the utmost benefits to the
cotton grower and farmers of the
Augusta will be pleased to furnish
full and detailed information on any
particular point desired upon request
accordnig to the statement of of
ficials of the institution.
In addition to the other advan
tages offered by Augusta is the fact
that resident buyers representing
the largest cotton buying firms in all
parts of the world are located in
Augusta permanently, being residents
of the city. They are interested in
giving the city the very greatest
benefits possible to accure from a big
cotton market center and in this way
the farmers and cotton men of the
Augusta territory can share to the
full xetent in these advantages.

(By Ewiri Camp Editor, Tri-Weekiy
Atlanta Journal)
I do not see how any leader of
thought can fail to endorse heartily
afftd give his active support to the
movement so intelligently fostered
by the Public Utilities of Georgia for
a ‘ Live at Home” plan of agriculture.
The wisdom of it is self-evident at
all timese, but now pertinent it is at
this time when the cotton market has
suffered a disaster.
The average farmer who owns his
farm does “live at home” I believe,
an;l has always lived at home. I be
lieve a careful survey of the state, or
of selected portions, *would ipfove
that there are few farmers cultivat
ing their own acres, who buy any
considerable amount of food-siuffs
for themselves or their stock.
But it is ‘something else again
with the renters and the croppers,
and if I were asked what I believe
to be the most serious problem re
garding Georgia agriculture, I should
s.ay, without hesitation: Tenantry.
Tenants are those who cultivate
land belonging to others, and they
are bound by the terms of their ren
tal contract. Some crop on shares,
the owner to get part, the tenant to
get part. Some pay a fixed rental,
in cash or in product. But all of
them are forced by contract to grow
only what the landlord says, to cul
tivate, as he says and to sell it as
and when he says.
There you have the root of the
evil.
The landlord wants nothing save
his rental. He can see nothing as a
product certain of immediate sale
except cotton. He therefore de
mands that his tenant grow cotton;
he specifies the acreage to be plant
ed and he watches the cultivation
with jealous and unrelenting eyes.
He will not let the tenant “live at
home.’’
You cannot appeal to his patrio
tism with any effectiveness; nor is
he a colder and more heartless man
than his city brother. He wants his
rent, just as the apartment house
owner does.
But you can appeal to his intelli
gence, if you go at -it in the right
way.
Once convince him that a happy
and prosperous tenantry will be to
his advantage as a land-owner;
once convince him that this can be
brought about by permitting his ren
ters to utilize a sufficient amount of
land and of their labor to produce the
things they need for their tables
and their cribs.
Once convince him that it will pay
and you have solved the proglem of
agriculture in our state.
G. E. A. Meeting to be
in Macon, Nov. 12
The Georgia Education Association
made more rapid progress during
the year 1925, than in any other year
of its history. At the State conven
tion held in Macon ther'e was or
ganized a department of the super
intendents of the State to help carry
on this larger program. It has been
felt by many of the educational lead
ers of the State in the recent years
that a department of the superinten
dents, city and county modeled af
ter the national organization would
greatly help the cause of education.
It was organized in Macon and the
executive committee has prepared
one of the best programs to be of
fered to the educators of Georgia in
some years. The full program is as

BABE RUTH WINS
CHEVROLET CAR
Babe Ruth not only won everlast
ing base ball renown with his trio of
home run swats in the fourth game
of the World Series played in St.
Louis, but he also won a Chevrolet.
One of the circut clouts creshed
through the plate glass wnidow of
an automobile salesroom'‘near the
Cardinal park and bounded''off the
side of a Chevrolet coupe'on display
inside. In acknowledgement of his
feat the Bambino was presented with
the coupe. The picture shows him
beside the car, holding the home run
base ball.
“Times have changed.” said Babe
with a broad grin. “Some years ago
it would have been a serious offense
for any of us to break a window with
a baseball. Now it brings a new au
tomobile.”
