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. vannah; Reginald W.

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. MR. CARSWELL WILL TALK TO PLEXICO’S BIBLE CLASS Mr>J. K.

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.

Eyes thoroly examined (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.

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.” NUMBER 32
