l HALLOWEN CARNIVAL
The Lions’ Hallowe’en Carnival
brought throngs of young and old
folks down town last Friday night,
who evidently enjoyed the evening of
‘fun, interspersed with numbers
played by the Community Band.
- “Beveral ‘of the P:-T. ‘A.- units en=

ed in front of the Pine street stores,
where “hot dogs’’ were the principal

Rev. C. B. Ware took his elder’s

to the Indiana conference, of which
he was a member before coming to
the Fitzgerald charge last year.
Rev. Ware and family have many
friends in the church and throughout
the city to regret the severing of his
connections in the city and state.
Until January Rev. Ware will pur
sue his studies ‘at Emory University
for the attdinment of a degree pre
liminary to taking up. other ministe
rial work.
. Rey. Ware.is a . live -.and .efficient.
man .whose work in the church and
the community has been valuable.
Mrs. Ware, too, who is the highly
esteemed principal of the Second
Ward school, will be greatly missed
when she leaves. her work here,
‘which, however, will not occur before
the first of the year.
At whatever time they enter into a
new field of work, abundant good
wishes will follow them from the
‘hosts of friends formed here.
Georgia ‘Apple Week’
Boosted By Growers
Atlanta, Ga.—The reader of this
news story has often heard the old
adage that “an apple a day keeps the
doctor away” and National Apple
Week, observance of which is now
on, has been planned so as to focus
the attention of the public on the vir
tues of the apple.
The history of the fruit extends
back as far as the Garden of EEden
and those familiar with the usages
of the apple declare there is no more
healthful fruit.
In directing attention to the apple,
the leaders of this movement, par
ticularly C. R. Porter, of Rome, Ga.,
often called “The Apple King,” on
account of large orchards at Esom
Hill, Ga., are also calling to mind a
crop in which Georgia bids fair to
take a commanding part. Superbly
equipped by climate for apple pro
duction, Georgia has gone seriously
about producing apples for the mar
ket on a far more gigantic scale than
ever before. Georgians have even
gone so far as to erect a monument
to the apple at Cornelia, Ga.
Demands for Capital
Unusual In the South
Atlanta, Ga.—That the center of
industrial and commercial power is
bound to shift to the South because
of her climate, agriculture, water
power, natural resources and the
closeness of factories to the raw ma
terials, was pointed out today by the
Adair Realty and Trust company of
Atlanta, a nationally known concern
which has served investors for '6l
years. 5
That this is true is evidenced by
the enormous amount of applications
now on hand by the Adair company
asking for development.’ The sum of
the applications for loans, it:is sta
ted, is more than fifteen millions of
dollars, according to the list. Not
all of these applications will "go
through, for not all of them, the of
ficials state, will measure up to the
Adair standards of safety and sound
ness. But the cream will be chosen
and will in turn be converted into
more wealth for the South, the of
ficials stated.
The underwriting activities of the
Adair company cover the entire
South. Offices are maintained in
New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis
and Jacksonville, Fla., with corre
spondents over the country.

imzcmm COMMUNITY
~ WEEK OF ACTIVITIES
With playing for the tent show,
regular practice nights and playing
for the Lion’s Hallowe’en Carnival,
the Community Band did valiant ser
vice for the community last week.
To fully appreciate this fine aggre
gation of young men and women, one
must attend one of their practice
nights to learn of the difficulties they
‘have to master and their fine spirit
in mastering them, and all for the
“good of the town.” You can’t beat
it anywhere.
Prof. Johnson is an ideal leader,
patient and full of energy in the
band room, with perfect co-operation
of his pupils, he whips them in shape
without friction or undue aggrava
tion. While it may be a pleasure to
we are fully convinced that the pleas
ure is all on the side of the watcher,
for it’s hard work on the part of the
teacher and players alike. 3
Drop in on their practice nights
and learn to fully appreciate your
band.
JIM CASPER TO EUILD
MODERN BUNGALOW ON
SOUTH GRANT STREET
Jim Casper has purchased the lots
315 and 317 on South Grant street
from N. N. Littlefield and is having
a model bungalow built.
The property is close in and ideal
ly located for a cenvenient home’ for
a business or professional man,
whose business requires him to live
close by. The home will be modern
#n every respéct, fiilly ‘equipped with
modern electric light fixtures and
sanitary plumbing.
The house will be ready for occu
pancy (?) and is being built by Mr.
Casper to be sold either for cash or
on his deferred payment plan. :
The farmer is probably hesitating
before deciding what he will do next
year, but he knows he will do some
thing. For one thing, he will go slow
about heavy acreages, heavy fertiliz
er and heavy labor contracts.—Moul
trie Observer.
This talk of “tight money” and
“hard times” is silly. It is predicatyd
upon an utterly false conception of
business conditions. It cannot result
in any possible good, and it is doing
a good deal of harm.—Albany Her
ald.
The farm relief question is getting
into the same situation as the weath
er. - Everybody is talking about it,
and nobody is doing anything to
remedy it. Unlike the weather, how
ever, concerted action might have
some effect in regard to the price de
pression of farm products.—Dawson
‘News. :
" The farmer who planted peanuts
this, year is not altogether ruined by
the low price of cotton. They are
bringing $96.00 a ton in the local
market, and that is better than cot
ton at the usual price.—Ocilla Star.
We don't see why the women
should be worried about the price of
cotton, when they don’t use any of
it. They do not even buy a spool of
thread because none of ’em these
days know how to sew.—Savannah
Press.
While men are suggesting and dis
cussing means for disposing of the
surplus cotton, nature steps in and
by liquid process solves the problem
of disposition of a large part of it.—
Vienna News.
Until the cotton growers demand
cotton bagging for their cotton, we
don’t think they have much ground
on which to base an appeal to the
women to wear cotton hose, cotton
underclothes and other cotton goods.
—Tifton Gazette. :
When nature deals bountifully
with the agriculturist, it should not
mean disaster. The record-breaking
¢crop ought not to make the
planters poor. Why should not the
eaua supply of an imperishable
world staple in a few months re
trieve the loss involved in the pres
ent lowered price? There is some
thing wrong somewhere.—Valdosta
Times.
But for extravagant expenditures
on the part of many of limited
means, this section would be in good
financial condition. As it is, we see
no cause for alarm. We have suc
cessfully emerged from tighter places
than the present.—Cuthbert Leader.
REV. JOHN J. BESSEMER
FOUND DEAD IN BATH
TUB AT ALBANY FRIDAY
Albany, Ga.—Rev. John J. Besse
mer, assistant pastor of St. Theresa’s
Catholic church, was found dead in
the bath tub at the rectory here Fri
day afternoon. He! was apparently
in the best of health only ashort time
beforehand, and none of his intimate.
friends suspected that he suffered
from a weak heart, presumably the
cause of his sudden *zssing. He had
been downtown only a few minutes
beforehand and an&nnced that he
planned to go home, ‘take a bath and
attend a high school football game
here during the afternoon. When he
remained in the bath room longer
than usual an investigation was made
and it was found that he was dead.
He came here about a year ago
and by his genial personality, inter
est in public affairs and athletics
quickly made -a’ large number of
friends, to all of whom the news of
his death proved a great shock. He
was a member of the Albany Lions’
Club and one of the most active and
popular members of that organiza
tion.
Father Bessemer served as assist
ant pastor of the local parish, and
also served -parishoners in other
South Georgia towns, where there
are no resident priests. He was wide
ly popular with people of all denomi
nations. : S
Father Bessemer gerved the local
church and was beloved by his parish
oners, who were deéply grieved on
learning of his sudden death.
‘Mesdames Geo. Kratzer,. Casteel,
‘Courdrie ‘and Miss Rosa Renks mo
tored to Albany to attend thé funeral
of the deceased last Saturday. The
remains were shipped to Troy, N. Y.,
his former home, for interment.
MARY PICKFORD HAS
“Little Annie _i;t-y" An Ideal
Vehicle: for Impishness of
Famous Star. :
“Little Annie Rooney,” the come
dy drama of tenement life in New
York in whi¢ch Mary Pickford stars,
and which comes to the Grand
Theatre on Monday and Tuesday un
der a United Artists Corporation re
lease, appears to have been written
to order for “The World’s Sweet
heart” for it is an ideal Mary Pick
ford story.
Combining comedy and drama,
smiles and tears, children’s gang bat
tles and a pretty love story, “Little
Annie Rooney” is the type of play
in which the public loves to see Mary
Pickford, and the type she can do as
no other actress can.
“Little Annie Rooney” is as Irish
as its name, and as Irish as the curly
haired little ragmuffin who plays the
title role. It deals with the young
daughter of an East Side policeman
whose playmates are about thirty
young boys, and who enters into the
gang fights and rows of these tene
ment lads with all the vigor at her
command. :
Unexpected tragedy stalks into the
policeman’s family, and the girl is
suddenly faced with some of the grim
realities of life that seldom come to
a child of her age.
Through the gang battle sequences
Miss Pickford romps gloriously, a
leader of the dirty faced boys and
the idol of her “gang.”
In the dramatic scenes she does
some of the finest and most convine
ing work of her whole screen career.
She is sweet and appealing as the
sweetheart of her “Joe,” and through
the entire picture the artistry of
Mary Pickford is again revealed.
While of the type of many of her
best pictures, “Little Annie Rooney”
has a new and strong plot, a care
fully chosen cast of supporting play
ers, and is photographically beautiful
throughout.
In fact there is nothing to be de
sired that is not provide din this, the
latest vehicle of Miss Pickford.
It should prove her most popular
screen play, according to those who
have seen the picture in pre-views.

CENTURY OLD MANSION
SAID TO BE FITTED WITH
Cincinnati, Ohio.—Discovery on
the part of citizens here that a cen
tury old mansion in Ludlow, Ky., is
fitted with a secret stairway connect
ing a hallway with a hidden room, a
‘dungeon and a whipping post, has
sent scores of visitors to the little
town across the Ohio river.
Built in 1820 by Thomas D. Car
neal, who later became a member of
his state’s legislature, the old home,
Elmwood, is now used as a factory
by a candy company. Huge vats of
syrup now occupy the stately high
ceiled rooms whose walls are divided
into hand carved panels. Mantels
throughout the place are beautifully
designed and carved. A fan light
over a sealed door, that was at one
time the entrance, is about ten feet
wide and the fan ribs are of hand
hewn wood.
The secret stairway leads from al
hallway ceiling up through a dead air
space to a hidden room and fmm“
there to the roof. A skillfully con
cealed trap door opens to reveal the
lower steps which may be reached by
ladder. The sliding trap can be,
manipulated from either above or be-l
low.
Directly under the stair is a long
low cabinetn ow used as a storage
place for nuts and cooled by electric
refrigeration or Frigidaire. Former
ly all chilling was done in a spring
house where ice was stored in winter,
In the cellar th edungeon was at
one time darker than any of the re
fractory slaves who suffered in it.
Now a window has been cut as a coal
chute. Across the cellar a whipping
post stands as firm as the day it was
planted.
On either side of the old home
stead are wide galleries with deep
windows that open from the ceiling
to floor and may be used as doors.
All shutters, window seats and other
exposed surfaces are in good condi
tion, the shutters hanging straighter
than the ones on a house next door
put up less than twenty-five years
ago.
HISTORIC SCENES 1776
T 0 BE REPRODUCED AT
FLORIDA STATE FAIR
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4. A
pyrotechnic spectacle in which his
toric scenes of 1776 will be repro
duced is to be a feature of the $50,-
000 entertainment program of the
Florida State Fair, Nov. 19-27. More
than 200 people in colonial costumes
will take part in the tableaux that
will be staged against a 600 foot
background of fireworks.
} Among the scenes that rise in glar
ing multi-colored flames from inky‘
'darkness is the Boston Tea Party,
'Paul Revere’s famous ride, Minute
Men marching to Lexington, Signing
of the Declaration of Independence.
The First American Flag, George
Washington Taking Command of the
Colonial troops, Washington Crossing
the Delaware and the Siege of York
town.
Victor’s Famous Band, of New!
York City, has been engaged to fur-“
nish music. The band consists of
twenty-five accomplished musicians,
of both instrumentalists and soloists.
They will play for the Hippodrome
features at all performances.
Automobile races will be given on
November 20 and 27. Among the
drivers who will attempt to set new
dirt track records is Mlle. Joan Le-
Costa, world’s champion woman rac
ing driver.
Auto Polo is another feature on
the program.
Atlanta, Ga.—When six hundred
and fifty-six persons are killed in four
weeks in automobile accidents in
United States cities and on highways
near cities, it is time for more drastic
measures to be taken to safeguard
human life, it was pointed out here
today by members of the Atlanta
Safety ‘Council.
The National Safety Council, ad
vices just received here state, thinks
the time has arrived for a nation
wide drive to protect men, women
and children on the streets, highways
in public places and elsewhere so as
“to conserve the Nation’s greatest re-\
sources.” {
~ During the four week period just
closed, according to figures made pub
lic here, deaths from automobile ac
cidents over the country reached a
total of 6566, the greatest number re
corded during any other four weeks
period this year.
- To these motoring fatalities must
be added, safety council members
‘here said, the many who were killed
in railway disasters, mine blasts and
in fires, to reach the total of acci
dental deaths in this country, and
when all is told the result is suffi
cient to amply justify the National
Saftey Council, it is claimed here, in
urging a nation-wide effort to halt
the epidemic of accidental deaths.
The chief cause of most of the
country’s accidental death toll is
carelessness, it was asserted here. ‘lt
is found in motoring to a greater ex
tent than in other activities because
motorists do not seem to realize the
need for self preservation, it was
furthe rstated.
