" Briefly, it concerns one Sigrid Fer
sen, favorite of Paris and London
Theatres, who arrives in an English
. army barracks town deep in the jung
les of Tndia, She meets a hostile
reception from the small and gossipy
community of British, but her person-
ality wins them after her first test,
She falls in love with a physician,
known as the hermit doctor, who is
devoting his life to treating the native
Hindus during an epidemic of cholera
Because of the harshness of the Brit
“ish commander of the post, and a
, wrong he had committed against “the
bride of Vishnu,” a sacred dancer of
the temple the native troops, incited
by the high priest of the temple, plan
‘plan~a revolt,

#ake place, with a massacre of the
‘;\\'hitos as its object. Sierid goes to
the termiple steps to dance in the moor .-
Bight as her lover had often dreamei
of her doing, Her lithe figure, in
flowing white, fills the natives with
.4we, and believing her to be the re¢-
incarnation of the defiled bride of
Vishnu, they fall down to worship
her. She dances until she is exhaus
ted, in order to hold the blacks from
their contemplated revolt, and by so
doing enables the British reinforce
fents to arrive and save the situa
tion.

Tifton High Defeats
. ° ° .
" Fitz-Hi Here Friday
In the first and probably the most
exciting game that will be played this
season, Tifton High Eleven emerged
vi¥torious over the plucky Fitz-Hi
Eleven by the score of 6-0.
The lone touchdown came in the
second quarter when Williams for
Tifton punted and Tifton recovered
ovey the goal line on Arthur Justice’s
* fumble,
Fitzgerald showed decidely the bcstj
team work They were better than
their opponents both on the defensive
. and thg,gfi‘!‘iive. : |
‘fim locals gained 118 yards while
their upponents succeeded in register
" ing only 38 yards,
The Tifton team also demonstrated
goow team work, Coach Gilion
should feel complimented, He not
only produced or developed a team
that knew foot ball but he has a clean
and sportsmanlike team that will do
credit to any High School,
The local fans thorcaghly enjoyed
the fracas and appreciate the sports
manship that was shown by both of
the teams, e
. WMiams was the star for Tifton,
ile is an exceedingly good punter, and
relieved the danger of the team num
:rous times by punting out of danger
Fer iFtzgerald, Harvey Jay played
the best game, He 1w a sure tackler|

THE FITZGERALD LEADER
Hummanity’s Real News
~ In Home Town Papers
That's Why We Want “To Tell’ Our
Readers Why Theres Going To Be
Such A Thing As A “Subscribe For
Your Home Town Paper” Week, .
(By R: T 'PORTE)"
For The Leader-Enterprise -
It is a notable fact that with all
the wonderful things that have been
written about the so-called “country
‘newspaper,’ very few of them real
ize all their possibilities, or what an
influence they are in the world.
It is also a notable fact that very
few of the readers of those papers
realize what a loss it would be to
them and to the world if the “country
paper” should cease to exist.
The large papers with immense
circulations, tell of the world happen
ings” as they understand them, and
display heads telling of the latest
scandals prize fights, and the mis
fortunates of humanity,
But, it remains for the “local paper
the country weekly, the “home town
paper’™ to really give the news of the
world, or that of Mr, Common People
and his wife.
It is time that the country newspa
per should do something to place it
self on a higher plane, and also make
some noise, Just one paper to start
something would not amount to much
but if the 15,000 country papers would
join in the chorus, a noise that would
go around the world would be the
result
Some time ago I yas going through
some trade paper, or bulletin of g
state press association, or something
of that kind and noted that somehody
wrote that it might be a good idea to
have a “Subscribe for Your Home
Town Paper Week”, I smiled at the
idea at first but some way the idea
stuck, and then T started to find out
who originated the idea, but the paper
was lost,
The publisher who thought of that
idea just let it go at that, but T de
cided that it was so good, that it
should not die so at once asked all
the trade papers, printers’ supply or
ganizations what they thought of the
idea.
The officers of the National Edi
torial Association were written to,
and in fact some two hundred letters
sent out.
The result was that everyone wrote
that the idea was just the thing, and
by common consent it was decided
that the week of November 7 to 12
be adopted as the week to be known
Only Tenth of State’s
Water Power Har.essed
ATLANTA, Sept, 26—A very in
teresting seurvey of Georgias water
power resources, both developed and
undeveloped, has been prepared by
Dr, S, W, McCallie, state geologist.
It shows that only one-tenth of the
‘total water power of tho state has yot
‘been developed, but yet this one-tenth
approximating 262 148 horsepower, is
equal to an annual coal energy of 17,
381,000 tons, Discussing developed
water power, he says:
“Estimating four tons of coal as
cquivalent to one horsepower hour,
the State’s total water powers as
shown above is equal annually to the
potential energy of 17,381,000 tons of
coal. To deliver this huge coal ton
nage in one year it would require 793,
60 ton'carloads daily, or 33 cars per
hour, or ont ¢2. in 1.8 minutes, Tne
imoney value of our water power as
above given in coal tonnage, rating
coal at $5 per ton, is $86,906,500 per
annum.
In this connection T wish to add a
word concerning the Burton Storage
Dam which is one of the state’s grcat-(
est engineering enterprises in the
way of conserving our water powers.
The storage capacity of this dam, of
which is 110 feet high, and backs the
water up stream for about ten miles,l
is 5,280,000 cubic feet, which is suffi-"
cient to operate continually the power
plant at Tallulah Falls approximate]y!
for 36 days, This energy converted |
into coal tonnage would represent ap
proximately 200,000 tons of coal which
valued at $5 per ton would represent
$1,000,000,
It might be of interest to know that[
the Burton Dam reservoir holds suffi
cient water to supply ‘e city of .\t—l
lanta at its present rate of consump
tion for more than 3 1-2 years, and
that the run-off from the rainfall in
that part of Dabun County is ample
to fill the reservoir more than twicel
annually,
The Burton Dam is the latest ach-‘
ievement of the Georgia Railway and
‘Power Company, Due to the mil
lions of dollars spent in North Georgia
and other sections of the State by the
power companies Georgia has been
called the “electric hub of the south”,

REMEMBER HER WHO STILL DRE AMS OF THE “OLD HOME TOWN?”
Scattered through the cities and states are
hundreds of former residents of this community
whose hearts are still with us. Their interests
and their homes are in far-away spot, but the fond
recollections are of Fitzgerald and Ben Hill Coun

Does mother, does father live in the next state
or the next, or perhaps away out there on the Pa
cific coast? What so easy for them to meet with
friends of old—the folks they know best and love
most—as to take the home paper regularly? Not
a copy now and then, but a welcome visitor every
‘week? In your next letter, give them the benefit
of this suggestion; or, if you like, send in a sub
scription for them as a pre-Thanksgiving gift.
