A Very Interesting Letter
To the People of Wilkinson Coun
ty-
It would afford me great pleasure
to have a heart to heart talk with
every white Citizen of the County,
but this being impossible I am taking
this method of conveying a message
which I hope will meet with a respon
sive cord within the hearts of all who
love this grand old Southland of ours.
1 say Southland, because as far back
as the history of our Southland dates
the people Dixieland have been ar
dent believers in, “Equity, justices,
and the Golden rule,” and have
foucht and died for the things that
were deer to their hearts. The old
Confederate Veterans, diminishing,
blazed the trail, and most of them
have crossed over the river to rest in
the Shade, both my dear old Grand
fathers being numbered with them,
but thank God thev implanted a
principle within the hearts of all their
sons and daughters that has been
handed down to Succeeding genera
tions, a principle that is near and
dear to us today and for which we
will fight and die as did our forefa
thers back in the Sixties, and as did
our own boys over fifty years later,
who left friends and loved ones to go
three thousand miles from home,
across the watery deep, to fight and
die that our flag might be as spotless
and unsullied as was the Stars and
Bars. Now. let us think back only
> five years ago, when the called to
arms was Sounded and the flower of
American Manhood rallied to that
call, donned their uniforms and Set
Sail for a foreign land, there to en
dure the hardships of War. How
did we feel? How did they feel?
We knew they knew that some
would come back Io tell the woeful
tale, but that thousands of
them would never
again set foot on American soil,
would neyer again look into the eyes
of mother, lather, brother sister or
friends, yes the>’ realized it, we re
alized it and our hearts were heavy as
we watched mothers cling about the
necks of these dear boys, who were
clearer to them than life itself as they
bade them farewell and God speed.
J but these brave boys left everything
। that was dear to t hem and faced the
I future with a trust in God and a smile
upon their lips. And many are the
mothers that on bended knees offered
prayers to God that our boys might
come home safe again. Our people as
a whole prayed for their safe return.
We prayed because we loved them,
and although they were 3 thousand
miles away our hearts were ever with
them. How we watched the newspa
per, and read ;he casualty lists to see
if any of our loved ones were number
ed with the «!ead. How well I re
member that morning in 1918, just a
days before message came to my dear
old mother who had waited prayerful
anxiously for the return of her boy, a
message that read like this “ your son
is officially dead reported killed in ac
tion November 2nd” Oh! how our
hearts did ache, and none but those
who have received such a message
can understand the meaning. Did
we appreciate the sacrifice these boys
made? Yes, we not only appreciated
the sacrifices they made but we hon
ored them in eyery way we could.
And now the conflict has ended and
the thundering guns are hushed, but
our love for the boys who made these
sacrifices and endured the hardships
of that awful conflict has not waned
and so long as life shall last our
love will grow stronger for these
heroes, and Our appreciation is ever
lasting. Now a time has come when
we can show our appreciation other
than in words. One of the boys that i
offered himself to light, and die if,
Need be, but who was fortunate
enough to be spared to borne back to
loved ones and friends is Now asking
for the honor of representing you in
the Legislature.
The one to whom I refer is W. L.
Dixon. On May. “th 1917 he enlist
ed as a Regular with the U. S. Navy,
was trained at Norfolk Va, and later
was detached to the 82ud. Co. 6th
Regiment Marines at Philadelphia. Pa.
was sent to France ofi U- 8. ship
Nonstuber, and with 8000 otherj'
Marines helped to Crush the Hinden-
burg line and driye Old Kaiser Bill
across the Rhine, After all his Oom,
radcs had been killed or wounded
with the exception of six or seven
hundred he was detached to UJS.
Army and served fifteen Month in
France- On April, 7th 1919, lie
received an honorable discharge and
came back to the one's for whom he
had fought. Wl eu he enlisted he
did not have a loving Mother to put
her arms about his neck and say
farewell Son, May God keep you and
and bring you safe home to me, ks he
lost his Mother when he was only a
child and was raised an orphan boy by
his Uncle who only a few years ago
lost his life in performance of his duty
while serving Wilkinson County, and
now he is trying to show his appre
iation of what his Uncle did for him
by caring as best he can for his
Uncle's wife. When I think of the
thousands of American boys who
faced death in a foreign land 1 also
think of the thousands of American
people back home who were with
them in Spirit 100% Strong. And
now in
my mind's eye I can sea the
thousands of little white crosses
that mark the resting places of
the thousands that fell on Flan
ders fiald. Do we appreciate the
sacrifices they made? Yes. we
do, and I believe that on Sept.
13th the people of old Wilkinson
county are going to the polls and
show their appreciation by vot
ing for W. L- Dixon for Rcpr -
sentative.
But there is a bunch of politi
cians in the county fighting him
and have a squad of men who
are paid by a designing pol tici
an to ride over your county and
tell you because he is 30 years
old that he is too young to rep
resent you in the Legislature,
but back in 1917 when he was
five years jourger, they did not
say say he was too young to rep
resent them on the battlefields
of France. And now, despite
the fact that a few designing
politicians are riding day and
night trying to defeat him the
people who appreciate the sacri
fices these boys made are going
to say to the mothers of Ameri
ca, ‘‘Your boys were not too
young to represent us in France,
they are not young to represent
us now, and in token of our
love and appreciation we think
it is only a partial fulfillment of
the debt, we owe to the boys who
gave their lives in France, and
to their comrades who were
spared to back to the mothers
who had prayed for their return,
to go to the polls on Wednesday,
Sept- 13 and east an overwhelm
ing vote for W. L. Dixon, who
represented us in France, to rep
resent us in the Georgia Legis
lature, and by so doing show to
the world that we are loyal to
the comrades of the boys who
now fill Heroes graves.
Note—lt is being told that Mr
Dixon is now supported by the
Government. All he has ever re
ceived was the uniform he paid
and his little monthly psy while
in the service, and nothing since.

Boys and Girls Club Work
Featured at Southeastern Fair
“Pigs is pigs” to most persons but
not to the boys and girls who will
exhibit pigs at the Southeastern Fair
in Atlanta, October 12-21.
When children first became inter
ested in pig club work in this terri
tory, their only idea was to raise bet
ter pigs. Now that they have learned
how to grow good pigs they are eager
to show everyone how good these pigs
are by exhibiting them at the fair.
The pigs which the boys and girls
enrolled in pig club work are
going to exhibit at the fair are being
selected and made ready for the show
ring. Balanced rations are being fed
to the animals in order that they may
be in good physical condition; the
pigs are being exercised frequently to
l of music, hippodrome amusements,
. and the like, all of it so dear to the
hearts of the young—and the old alike,
will be held on the big stage in front
of the grandstand. In addition to the
■ regular program, there will be a spe
i cial fireworks program, which •will be
- fired earlier than usual so that the
I kiddies may get home early if nec
essary.
t All students will be admitted on this
! day for 15 cents —all that is neces
i sary to secure the benefit of this prlv

strong; and they are being led and
driven about to train them for the
judging ring.
Figures just issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture prove a remark
able growth of the pig club movement
in this state and other parts of the
country. More than fifty thousand
boys and girls are raising pigs under
pig-club rules. Nearly twelve thou
sand five hundred more children are
competing in the sow-and-litter con
test, in which a sow and pigs must
be kept until the pigs mature.
The swine show at the fair in which
both young and old may compete is
offering ?10.000 in premiums for hogs
of the leading breeds. Entries for the
show will close on October sth.

Fire at Toomsboro
Late yesterday afternoon fire des
troyed the boiler house and shavings
storage vault at the lumber plant of
J. T. Lord Jr. at Toomsboro and for
a while threatened the planer, dry
kiln and lumber. On account of the
location of the fire the entire water
supply was cut off and the absence of
any wind to fan the flames is probably
the only thing that saved the other
portion of the plant. The loss is
estimated at about SIOOO.
This is one of the largest lumber
plants in this section and had the fire
spread the loss probably would have
bren from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars.
