Chain Store Tax
Closes One Here
t —.
Just whether the new chain
store tax is going to affect the
chain stores of Georgia or not is
hard to say, but we do know one
thing, and that is that it closed
one in Pembroke on the first of
July. That was the day the new
tax went into effect, and the
night before the management of
the local Suwannee store closed
their doors and have since moved
their stock of good's away.
There is no question but that
the new tax was the cause of
them closing when they did. They
might have eventually closed
here, but they did not even hesi
tate on July 1, and we are told
that they closed many more at
other points at that time also.
We do not feel like we lost a
great deal when they decided to
pick up and move. So far as we
have been able to ascertain they
■ever helped the local communi
ty a single bit, and was just
another cause for Bryan county
money leaving Pembroke and
leaving for good.
Lets keep Bryan county money
in Bryan oouiffy, That is the
way to gat ahead with our county
and our little citv of Pembroke.
Rivers Returns
To State Capital
The many friends of Governor
E. D. Rivers will be pleased to
learn that he has recovered from
his recent illness which forced
him to a hespital in California
for some time and that he has re
turned to Georgia and is now at
his duties in the state capital. Os
coursa he will have to take things
easr for a short time, but he is
rapidly getting back to normal.
He should be extra careful for
some time and we hope that he
does not exert himself for some
months.
Naturally of a delicate condi
tion and then going through one
of the hottest campaigns in the
history of the state, getting no
rest night or day and being on
the jump from can until can’t,
then going in as Governor and
having a "million” pulling your
coat tail for jobs, is enough to
put a big strong husky man in

Large Crowds At
Baseball Games
At The Stadium
The support that Savannah and
surrounding territory is giving to
the new Savannah team in the
South Atlantic League is much
better than anyone ever hoped
for. In face it is much batter
there than in most of the South
ern League cities. It is nothing
unusual for four or five thousand
people to attend a ball game in
Savannah.
While we have never witnessed
a night ball game, we believe that
night games is the cause for re
newed pep and enthusiasm for
baseball in Savannah- When the
games were played in the day
time it was practically impossible
for the average fellow to attend
many of the games, but now that
a majority of them are plhyed at
night, it is possible for him to be
at most all of the home games.
That is what it takes to put a
team over, is regular attendance
and a winning team. And when
the grandstands a>e full of people
it is just natural that a ball]
r^yer ctn play than he]
could to empty grandstands. '
Savannahs ball team is a winner
and is doing triuch good for the
city.
Admits Killing
Father In Liberty
—
Just what the old world is
going to is hard to say,
A Liberty county youth, 18
years old has just admitted that
he fired the pistol that killed his
daddy, having shot the old man
in the back of the head and then
going to give the alarm of his
death.
The old man had made a will
leaving his property to his sons
and also an insurance policy was
made payable to the bov.
The boy had to get rid of the
old man in order to get the cash.
Murder ia bad, under any and
all circumstances, but when a
strip of a boy deliberately shoots
his own father in the back of his
head and kills him in order to get
a few dollars in cash, we must
say that things are getting in
mighty bad shape.
We may be wrong, but we cant
see where this young buck is en
titled to much of a trial, He has
admitted his guilt and there should
be some way where he could be
put on the “hot seat” and electro,
cuted at once. He has forfeited
all rights that he ever had to live.
But some “jackass” lawyer will
take the case and he will live long
at the expense of the tax payers
of Liberty county and may go to
the pen for a few years and then
get a pardon.
Wore Prince Alberts
In the “nifty nineties,” most
United States senators wore Prince
Alberts. The frock coat was a sym
bol of statesmanship and a beard
was the mark of a man of maturity
and substance.

distance is longer. Almost instinctively we follow the
easy-riding, travel-hastening, smooth, non-skid Concrete High
way, to our safety, and comfort and economy!

Its light gray color and sharply defined edges are clearly vis

width. Any car is a better car on concrete. And concrete saves
money for motorists and taxpayers.
