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. FRESH FISH EVERY DAY IN WEEK.

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.
