WOULD BE FORGER
HAS HOT TIME AT
FAIR STORE FRIDAY
A big crowd was attracted to
the Fair Store Christmas eve by
the bark of five pistol shots fired
by Abe Kruger, proprietor, at a
negro said to.be named Will Brown
as Brown scurried through the
back door in a wild break for free
dom.
Mr. Kruger stated that Brown
had attempted to pass a check for
forty dollars on Newt Watkins,
prominent farmer. The signature
did not look exactly right and when
the negro endirsed the check it was
apparent that he had attempted for
gery. Mr. Kruger ordered the ne
gro to park where he was until a
policeman could be brought in but
. the black had no appetite for prison
rations and bolted, clearing a coun
ter with a bound and darting thru
the back door at a speed that of
fered smart competition to the most
lively . bullet.
Other than for that incident,
Christmas eve passed peacefully on

Is Possible that G. C. Petty May
Take Over Management
of New Industry /
Rabbits Would Be Raised for
Furs and Meat; Might Build
Fur Factory Too
It is possible that Fitzgerald will
have a new industry entirely out of
the ordinary next year if plans of sev
eral local business men materialize.
The plan is to establish a big rabbit
farm near Fitzgerald to raise the lit
tle animals for meat, fur, and pure
bred ones for sale as breeders.
G. C. Petty, who has been raising
rabbits on a small scale for several
vears, will probably head the new
concern. His rabbits have won prizes
at several shows in Georgia and Flor
ida. George Morris, Dr. J.L. Frazer
and Homer Adams are mentioned as
interested in the project.
There is said to be considerable
demand. for rabbitfurs and the de
mand for the meat has always ex
ceeded the supply even locally,
Should the new industry be launched,
a fur factory would probably be oper
ated in connection with it and with
proper advertising would make Fitz
gefald recognized as the fur&chfi" of
: LR B
Georgia. " v Settl‘;' i l |

the idea stage, however, and will ‘pré

CUT OUT THE EAVESDROPPER
New Device Is Expected to Eliminate
“Listening in” on Wireless
Messages.
Successful demonstrations of a new
wireless invention, which marks a
step toward the secrecy of wireless
telephone and telegraph messages,
have taken place in Great Britain,
and Signor Marconi is at present con
ducting further tests at sea in his
yacht Electra with a view to its wid
er application.
Details of the invention are secret,
but it may be stated that, according
to the Continental edition of the Lon
don Daily Mail, an apparatus has
been devised which, by what experts
call an “electrical method of concen
tration,” propagates the electric wire
less wave in a “beam” in any desired
direction and in that direction only.
Hitherto the electrical waves sent
out from wireless stations have
ypread out in all directions and all
who “listened in” could hear. The
pew invention will mark the end of
the wireless. “eavesdropper.” When
it is perfected a wireless station will
be able to send out Morse or spokey
messages which will be heard only by
those for whom they are intended.
The new apparatus which is being
worked at an experiment station ir
Great Britain with a short wave
length, has recently been demonstrat
ed by a number of experts who ex
pressed the greatcst interest in the
discovery.
It is known that German wireless
research has been lately closely di
rected to this problem of the “eaves
dropper,” for the Germans realized
that we were able to pick up with our
listening sets much valuable infor
mation about Zeppelin movemeuts
during the war.

SOAP AND SOCKS IN SUMATRA
1R —_—
Wearing of Hosiery Is an lhdication
' That the Wearer Earns at Least
$2O a Month.
Soap and socks in Sumatra—ten
years ago the ohservant mind of a
consulate representative of the United
States in that island would have de
voted less thought to such matters,
but now the inteimationalization of
commerce gives goap and socks in Su
matra their place in the sun. The
natives, it appears from a recent con
sular report, are more and more tak
ing to wearing socks. Those sim
ple garments of extremities, one
Judges, are becoming an indication
<hat the wearer earns at least $2O
a 4 month. American socks are well
thought of, as are American soaps,
but more socks and soaps from Amer
ica can be sold in Sumatra if the
American dealers in these commodi
ties will give more thought to local
taste in decorating the boxes or wrap
pers in which they go on sale in the
bazaars. These buyers in Sumatra,
like their soaps and socks done up in
bright colored containers; in fact,
they are inclined to judge the con
tents by the beauty, from their point
of view, of the box. The picture of
an Ameriean manufacturing plant
leaves them cold, nor do they care
for a wrapper decorated with land
scape in colors. Particularly in the
matter of hosiery, they like the box
decorated with some brightly colored
picture which catches the eye and ap
peals to the imagination by its “hu
man interest.” One judges that it
would be good policy for American
dealers in soaps and socks to discard
their present containers and employ
some of the artists who make covers
for the popular magazines to desigh
and paint them new ones particularly
for the Sumatra market.—Christian
Science Monitor.
ODDITIES OF GERMAN VOTE
Peculiar Sentiments Revealed in Re
cent Balloting for Members of
Reichstag.
The total number of valid votes
cast at the recent election in Germany
for the 446 members of the reichstag
was 26,017,500. The votes that had
to be thrown out ran into the thou
sands. One woman wrote on her bal
lot: *“I am voting for you major
ity socialists this time, but unless I
can get Westphallan ham that is
made in Westphalia from now on I'll
never do it again.” Quite a few
votes wers cast for the kaiser on the
ground that “if elected the humilia
tlon would serve him right.” One
man from Magdeburg deposited in
stead of his ballot a five-mark note
without comment,
But the prize ballot came from Lin
‘en. It was a plece of wrapping pa
per, on which was written “Isaiah 12,
23-24" The verses read: “Show the
things that are to come hereafter that
we may know that ye are gods; yea,
do good or do evil, that we may be
dismayed and behold it together. Be
hold, ye are of nothing and your work
of naught; an abomination i 8 he that
chooseth you.”
Luther Hussey, who has been in
the United States Merchant Marine
for the last few months, has returned
home for the holidays after an inter
esting Atlantic cruise. He visited
France, Spain, England and the Can
ary Islands during his voyage and
experienced a bad storm at sea on the
homeward trip. :
Mr. Ralph Cohen returned last
night for Macon after a short visit

TARIFF BILL TROUBLES
Southern Democrats Especially
Distressed by Measure
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26—The
President, at any moment, may de
stroy the only legislation completed
by Congress since the beginning of
the season, early in December. Last
week was featured in great part by
the successful passage of the joint
resolution directing the Department
of the Treasury to revive the War
Finance Corporation for the benefit
~of the stricken farmers of the coun
try :
It is generally believel that the
President will veto the resolution on
plea of D. F. Houston, Secretary of
the Treasury. Congress in that event
'would proceed to do two things; first
‘to express additional criticism of Mr.
Houston, and attempt to pass the res
olution despite the veto of the Presi
dent. It is claimed that the farmers
have this Congress in at least a two
thirds majority.
The real live feature of the pre
ceding week was the discussion of the
emergency tariff bill, and its passage
by the House. The bill would pro
tect agricultural products, wheat and
livestock for the farmers of the South.
The duties provided are so high that
they constitute an embargo, and as
such will raise no revenue.
The bill greatly distressed South
érn Democrats in the House who
were compelled to take either one
horn or the other of the dilemma.
They were confronted by the neces-~
sity of denying the petition of the
farmers of their States, or renounc
ing the Democratic policy of the tar
iff for revenue only.

Says Mrs. Rouse Did
Not Exhume Husband
: o
To Whom It May Concern: i
Dear Editor:-
I feel it my duty to correct the mis
take in Monday's issue of your paper,
about the body of Rev. Robert Rouse
being found outside the grave. I'm
in authority to know whereof I speak.
If all the critics could have been pres
ent at the touching service before the
party of 10 people left Fitzgerald for
the grave, and heard the strong cov
enant asked for by the Leader, Mrs. '
Rouse that if he arose and they
would give God the, Glory to raise
their leit hand, and if he didn’t come
forth, and they would continue to
have faith in God and give him the
Glory right on, to raise their right
haad, and every one -of the party
made the covenant, then very quietly
and prayerfully left on their mission,
anl be there on their return and see
Mrs. Rouse’s calm happy face, not a
sign of disappointment whatever, only
rejoicing in that she had obeyed the
command and carried out her Fath--
er's will. *No hdnd was layed on the
body, she only ran her hands over
the grave and prayer. Then it was
left in the tare of the Cemstery Sex
ton, who lives very close to the
church. I wish all who think she is
crazy could spend a few hours in her
presence. This thing was born of the
spirit, I am sure, and has already ac
complished a great deal of good,
many are now searching the Scrip
tures, who never picked up a Bible,
maybe in months before. She is one
of the few of God’s little ones, who,
is willing to suffer for the sake of
Jesus, All things are possible to them.
‘that believe, and is any thing too
hard for God? ;
