Did You Ever
Stop to Think
?
By Edson R. Waite
THAT it takes brains to build a
better community.
THAT in some sections brains of a
high order must be found and put to
work.
~ THAT the brainy man is usually
a queit chap, and his greatness is not
always realized and appreciated.
THAT these men usually give more
to the home city than they receive.
THAT the brainless citizens are al
ways showing their smallness.
THAT the stock in trade of brain
less people is to knock and find fault
with everybody and everything.
The greatest menace to any com
munity is the chronic knocker.
In spite of knockers you will al
wavs find good brainy citizens mov
ing forward, step by step, always
building, always boosting, always
grasping the hand of opportunity and
building the home city day by day in
to a bigger and better city.
TUG OF WAR CONTEST
~ CREATING INTEREST
Interest has grown to fever heat
in the “Tug of War” contest being
waged by the Bible school of the Cen
tral Christian church in this city. The
Crusaders whose color is blue, against
the Torchbearers, who wear the red,
are waging the most interesting con
test ever held in the city and though
entirely good natured the interest
has grown to fever heat among the
contestants.
The purpose of the contest is to
stimulate interest and attendance in
the bible school and church. There
are hundreds of men and women, boys
and girls in this city who are not at
tending church or bible school any
where and it is with a view of enlist
ing them in this work that the cam
paign has been planned.
- The school was evenly divided at
the start and officers elected on each
side to conduct the contest. Groups
of workers representing both sides
are canvassing the city for new re
cruits and are having good results
and the bible school is a most inter
esting place to be each Sunday morn
ing at 10 o’clock when it opens. The
Bible school orchestra is an added at
traction at each service.
It is planned that the losing side
will entertain the winning side in some
suitable manner at the close of the
contest and by that time it is expect
ed to Have at least 500 in attendance.
If you have not already done so pick
out the side you wish to enlist in and
go to the church next Sunday morning
and get your pin and help win the
fight. Both sides are represented by
some of the best workers in the city
and either side will appreciate your
influence. Jusk ask for a red or blue
butten and it will be furnished you.
Both sides are running neck and
neck and it is impossible to tell who
will win in the final charge of these
soldiers of the Cross.

THE FITZGERALD LEADER
LEGION DRIVE ON IN CITY;
[GNING
EX-SERVICE MEN $
OFFICERS EXPECT QUOTA TO BE
EXCEEDED BEFORE END
OF CAMPAIGN
All reports indicate that the mem
bership drive being conducted by the
‘Mars-McDonald Post of the American
Legion is proving very fruitful. Ex
‘service men are voicing their approv
al of the Legions ideals and activities
by signing up. There is no doubt
ithat by the end of the drive their
quota will have been exceeded. It is
’interesting to note some of the ques
‘tions being asked Legionnaires during
‘this drive.
~ What is the purpose of the Legion?
Service—service to community, state
and nation! Members of the Legion
gave service while they were members
of the armed forces of the United
States in the World War. The Le
gion was organized that they might
continue to give the same service in
time of peace as they gave in war,
Is it run by Overseas Men? There
is no rank in the Legion and no dis
tinction between home service and
foreign service. The Legion is an or
ganization of veterans run by veter
ans. Each one has a voice.
Is it run by a Clique? The Legion
as a nation wide organteation is not
run by a clique. Its affairs are un
der the constitution, conducted by
the entire membership through duly
constituted officers, committees and
conventions.
Why join a Veterans’ Society?
Because there is a national desire to
perpetuate associations formed un
der the hardships of war. There is
comradeship and strength in organi
zation. Individually, we may weigh
but little; organized, our voice and
jnfluence will be as far-reaching as
our organization.
© What are the Legion’s Principles?
Principles of the Legion are set forth
in the preamble of the Constitution.
“For God and Country, we asso
ciate ourselves together for the fol
lowing purposes:
“To uphold and defend the Consti-{
tution of ¢he United States of Ameri-’
‘ca; to maintain law and order; to fos
ter and perpetuate a one hundred per
cent Americanism; to preserve the
imem_ories and incidents of our asso
ciation in the great war; to inculcate
!a sense of individual obligation to the
community, state and nation; to com
}bat the autocracy of both the classes
and the masses; to make right the
lMaster of might; to promote peace
land good will on earth; to safeguar®
iand transmit to posterky the princi
ples of justice, freedom and democ
racy; to consecrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to mu
tual helpfulness.” 3
i From the above it is readily seen
‘that the Legjon is built on solid foun
‘dation and it is becoming that every
’ex-service man should be a member.
If you are eligible for membership
‘and have not been called on, make
this fact known by any method con
venient to you, to J. C. Williams,
chairman of the membership commit
tee, or to any of the post officers,
and you will be called on immediately.
~ Don’t delay, join the Legion today.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HOLD JOINT MEETING
A joint meeting of the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce, the Board
of Education for Ben Hill county and
the county commissioners was held
last Saturday for the purpopse of ar
riving at g solution of the employ
ment of a county agent. President
Chas. A. Newcomer presided.
A number of short talks were made
}by members of the boards, indicating
for the most part their preference
ffor,the work. Supt. Bullard, of the
‘board of education, frankly stated
‘their inability to finance the work
this year, which position was corrob
orated by S. S. Young, Walter Ro
bitzsch, Wm. Williams and Perry
Fitzgerald of the board. M. Dickson
and J. E. Turner, of the commission
ers stated that on the advice of their
attorney, A. 3. McDonald, the com
missioners could not legally appro
priate funds for this purpose, V. L,
Collier, of the A. B. & C. railroad
spoke bf the importance to the coun
ty of having an agent and stated
that Dooley county, through its com
mission did finance the work now as
they have in the past several years.
Others who spoke were S, G. Pry
or, Jr., O. L. Bradshaw and C. L.
Garden, directors of the C. of C.
On motion Mr. Garden was in
structed to co-operate with county at
torney McDonald and present if pos
sible some legal method by which
the work could be continued in the
county, the directors believing it to
be an inopportune time to discon
tinue .this work at the present time,
when the farmers were especially in
need of expert advice to overcome
the depression causd by th low price
of cotton and other farm products.

ing it was some of his boon compan
ions asking for admittance. When
Barna accepted the invitation and
opened the door he found Joe with
9 pints of liquor and took him and
his merchandise in charge.
| Later in the day Strickland and
‘Barna raided the residence of & ne
%g‘ro woman in the first ward and
found a gallon of liquor on the premi
ises. The woman turned cut to be
the former wife of Joe Brown and‘
both are now lanquishing in the coun-‘

THE FARM RELIEF BILL
IS PASSED BY SENATE
The United States Senate on Fri
day passed the MeNary-Hangen farm
relief bill, which it rejected eight
months ago in slightly different form.
~ The vote was 47 to 39 as campared
‘with the 45-39 margin by which the
ibill was defeated last June.
Previously by a vote of 54 to 32
'the senate rejected the Curtis-Crisp
ifarm bill,
As passed the McNary-Haugen bill
carried amendments to include tobac
co as one of the basic commodities on
which the equalization fee would be
levied and to provide for putting into
effect the Bedsoe plan designed to
insure cotton planters against price
declines.
e
The Senate however, refused to ac
cept amendments to defer application
of the equalization fee on cotton.
Twenty-four republicans, twenty
two democrats and the one farmer
laborite voted for the bill, while 22
republicans and 17 democrats voted
against it. Both Georgia senators,
Harirs and George, voted against the
bill. :

MARS CASE IN SUPREME COURT
The bill of exceptions filed by A.
J. McDonald, attorney for Oscar
Mars, sentenced to be electrocuted
February 28th has been accepted by
lthe supreme court. The date for

set but application to Governor Wal
ker for a stay of sentence pending the

}be made immediately.
Protestant rather than Catholic with
the Democratic spirit and a church
free from state domination. He told
of the vast wealth of the U. S. as
compared with other nations. Great
‘Britain, France, Italy and Russia owe
the United States $10,850,000,000.
The labor situation in this country
is far ahead of other countries. The
average daily wage in England is
$2.92; in Germany, $0.57; in France,
$1.99; in the United States, $7.13.
QOur luxuries are more than the ne
cessities of most other countries. He
showed that the cospel of Christ is
the only hope of the world. All other
means had failed. He also compared
the cost of the world war with the
amount of men and money spent in
the evangelization of the world. The
war burned up $9,000,000 an hour,
$215,000,000 a day; an equal of $20,-
000 a hour from the birth of Christ
until 1925. Just think of it! But
that is not the worst of it. 26,000,-
000 killed, 20,000,000 wounded; 9,-
000,000 orphaned; 5,000,000 widow
ed, and 10,000,000 refugees. The
expensive thing is not in the church’s
' TO ILLNESS AT WAYCROSS

the death of G. R. King, prominently
known here and throughout South

‘nation’s trying to kill and destroy
the world.
On closing night Dr. Ayers spoke
from the text, “He Warmed Himself.”‘
Peter was warming himself by the
enemies’ fire when he denied his
Lord. He applied this to the ease‘
loving peo of today who are con
cerned mo bout their ease and lux
urious living %an they are about the
Christ and {ingdom. He made a
powerful app for sacrificial living
on the part of Christians.
Miss Julia Allen, who is at the head
of the Baptist young people of the
state, did fine work with the Y. W. A,
R. A. and Sunbeams. She was ably
assisted by the local leaders of these
departments. Much credit is due to
Mrs. E. J. Derminy, president of the
local W. M. S. and to Mrs. M. M.
Stephens also, who is at the head of
the associational work. We had
rearly two hundred in this school and
the church was greatly helped in her
kingdom work and the loving person
alities of these faithful workers will
long abide with us. |
