1/ Newnan Oldtimers
and Busy Newcomers
Like the most efficient fire extinguisher known, CASH extin
guishes the llanie of FAILURE, You know as well as I that there
are many men who pay cash, and to the fellow who is down in the
mouth and to whom everything seems to be going just wrong
they candidly say PAY CASH AND SAVE THE DIFFERENCE."
In every household, when mother is tired from the day's worries
and father comes in with the market basket on his arm filled with
palatable meats, there is no domestic storm, because FATHER
PAYS CASH.
The health of all Newnan people—the women, the men, the
children, the old. the well, the strong as well as the weak—should
be preserved and protected as much as possible. If you wili step
in at a certain market on E. Broad street, called "The White Star
Market," and examine it carefully, you will find it stamped and
stenciled "CLEANLINESS FIRST." Their meats tickle the palate.
Makes you laugh, eh? But it’s a fact.

NOW WHAT SHOULD AMERICA
DO f
The sinking of the "Lusitania” was
r.no of the most cruel ami unjustifiable
acts of a most cruel and unjustifiable
war; and it was quite in keeping with
the character of a nation that is, de
spite its protestations to the contrary,
responsible for this utterly indefensible
reign of ruin and carnage.
The most serious question that has
confronted the United States in many
a day is, What shall we do about it ?
We could not be indifferent to this
crime against humanity even if no
Americans had perished. As it is, the
death of more than one hundred of our
own people as a result of this cold
blooded act of warfare—an act of such
cruelty as to set at naught all the
theories of the altruists that this is a
century of civilization—puts the ques
tion beyond the considerations of polite
diplomacy.
The Government of the United States
existB for the protection of every right
of every citizen. The lives of its peo
ple, at home and abroad, are in its
keeping. It is pledged most sacredly
to protect them, and every interest
that concerns them. Shall we, in this
crisis, act upon the old principle, “An
eye for an eye and a tooth fora tooth,”
and go to war with Germany?
War is the last resort of nations, or
should be. If satisfaction can be ob
tained in no other way, then let the na
tion take up arms in defense of its peo
ple. But it is to be presumed that the
German Government, for reasons of
national safety if nothing else, will be
willing to make such poor amends as it
can for what happened in the ocean
tragedy on Friday last.
Meanwhile the whole civilized world
is atiame with indignation over this
latest outrage—this cowardly and con
temptible method of warfare—claiming
as its victims scores upon scores of in
nocent people, who were sent to death
without a moment's warning and with
no attempt st rescue. Many years
must elapse before Germany will be
able to outlive the disgrace of this foul
deed, or regain the respect of the na
tions of the world. It is sincerely to
bo hoped that the close of hostilities
will see also the end of the present
kaiser and the blood-lusting dynasty
responsible for the horrible atrocities
charged against the German arms since
this war began.
We trust President Wilson will meas
ure up to the demands of the situation,
and that he will not disappoint the
American people by an attitude of
docility at variance with nation-wide
sentiment regarding this sickening
horror.
SINKING OF THE -‘LUSITANIA."
On the 14th of April, 1912, the White
Star line steamer, "Titanic,” waB sunk
off the hanks of Newfoundland, in
collision with an iceberg. Over sixteen
hundred people, men and women, went
down to death in the ocean deep. All
the world stood aghast and in mourning
over the awful calamity. The brother
hood of man, the best impulse of hu
manity, wore in evidence the world
over. The accident was said to have
been the result of recklessness on the
part of the ship's captain, who, with
the officials of his line, was intent on
making a record trip across the ocean,
but no criminal motive was attributed
to anybody, high or low.
On Friday last, in broad daylight,
the “Lusitania," one of the greatest
ships of the Cunard line, was sunk off
the coast of Ireland, and about twelve
hundred people found a watery grave.
The steamer was approaching the end
of its voyage. The weather was favor
able. There were no icebergs in sight
and no dangerous breakers. The ship
was sent to the bottom with all on
board who were not fortunate enough
to scramble into the few lifeboats, and
sunk without warning by a German
submarine, which sent a torpedo into
the vitals of the fated vessel.
Again the world has been startled
and horrified; hut, strange to say. shock
and sorrow over the catastrophe is not
universal. Some are actually rejoicing.
The kaiser heads a triumphal procession
as it inarches through the streets of
Berlin. Waving Hags, blaring trumpets,
shouting multitudes, rejoice because a
ship has been sent to the depths of the
sea that carried twoacore babies less
than a year old. along with many men
and women who were bent, some of
them on missions of mercy, others on
peaceful business, across the sea.
Whence the difference now and three
years ago? Have men changed? Has
the world become imbued with the
spirit of the devil ?
The difference is explained by one
word—war.
The best way to remain at peace with
your neighbors is not to raise gardens,
chickens or ahildren.
Newnan Will Have a Chautauqua.
For three days during the first week in
June Newnan will have a chautauqua,
with a list of splendid attractions, fur
nished by the Radcliffe Bureau, of Wash
ington, D. C. The Radcliffe chautauquas
are among the best in the country, and
Newnan is fortunate in being included
in the circuit this year.
The educational value to a communi
ty of these Chautauqua entertainments
cannot be estimated too highly, not to
sneak of the enjoyment derived from
them. Indeed, there is a new spirit
abroad in the world. It is the spirit of
democracy, the spirit of getting to
gether, the spirit of co-operation. This
spirit is finding expression in Bmall
groups, in clubs and lodges, in unions
and federations, and in a growing
spirit of unity among the churches, it
is beginning to seek embodiment ia
terms of civic consciousness, in better
national unities, and in world policies.
Because of isolation and individualism
of the smaller towns and cities this
spirit is slow in finding means of ex
pression. The smaller towns are social
units of great importance—in some re
spects of more importance than the
larger cities. The strongest and most
aggressive men of the cities have come
from the country or the smaller towns.
The greatest men in the professions, the
greatest leaders in politics and state
craft, in industry and commerce, have
come from the country or smaller
towns. It is possible to make these
smaller towns places of greater in
fluence and power.
The old method of improving a town
was to get some man of wealth and
public spirit to give it a fountain, do
nate a monument, or put up a library.
These are all important, hut it is far
more important to do things that will
develop a public spirit—a spirit of
unity—and furnish an opportunity and
a channel through which this spirit may
he expressed for the common good,
The first problem of these smaller
towns is to see themselves and their
needs clearly. The greatest object of
their citizens should not he to get as
many dollars as they can, and to keep
them as long as they can. hut to build
the best town they can, and to produce
the best type of "hoys and girls, men
and women — the best churches and
schools, the best forms of amusement
and recreation, and to boost with en
thusiasm anything that will give an
opportunity for community expression
—to things making for the common
good.
The Chautauqua that is to be given
in Newnan during the first week of
June affords just such an opportunity
and channel of expression. It should
have the co-operation of every citizen
of our town.
Our auditorium should he filled with
enthusiastic audiences. If this is done,
it will he worth many times its cost to
the town.
The Radcliffe Bureau is furnishing in
these chautauquas wholesome amuse
ment, valuable instruction, and a lofty
inspiration. The towns and cities
where these festivals have been held
are loud in their praise, and say that it
is making good on its great pro
gramme.
By concentracting the several per
formances into three days it is possible
to make a much greater impression
than if they were given one every few
weeks, extending over many months,
and, in addition, it does not cost the
town one-half as much.
This chautuuqua will give our people
a larger vision of individual and social
life.
There will be discussed and set forth
in the programme the great eonstruij
tive forces of civilization, the great
achievements that the human race has
made up to the present time, and some
of the great problems that are now be
fore the world for solution.
It will do the town good. It will
give us larger visions and higher ideals.
It ought to make for cleaner streets
and yards, better sanitation, the devel
opment ot more beauty spots in our
town, and a wideawake public spirit.
Out of it ought to grow a permanent
organization, such as a Boosters' Club;
possibly also a County Farm Bureau.
These would do much to bring the town
and country into closer fellowship.
Most important of all. we should de
cide to make the festival an annual
event. Join hands with the public-
spirited people of Newnan who have be
come guarantors and workers to bring
this chautauqua here. Be boosters;
buy a season ticket; attend the meet
ings, and help to make it a succes.-,
this year, next year, and the years fol
lowing.
Righteous indignation is getting mad
without saying a word above your '
breath.
