Milledgeville was the host of a large
aumebr of visitors from Fitzgerald
for several hours Saturday afternoon
when a number of (ho members of
the chamber of commerce and other
boosters from that city arrived here
after having made a six-days tour cf
Georgia.
Tha visitors came to Milledgeville
direct from Eatonton, having passed
through the latter city while on their
way from points in north Georgia,
each automobile in the party beating
signs appropriate to the occasion. The
party was headed by Messrs. Ludlow
f'-,vin,“ir, president of the Fitzgerald
Chamber cf Commerce, and E. Y.
Clark, secretary.
Although quite a number of the cars
originally starting out in the long
run of six days had dropped out be-
ore reaching Milledgeville, tlver<J
were twenty-live or more visitors to
get to this city. They were met sev-
rul mi'ns out from Milledgeville by
a recepton committee, headed by May
er Miller S. Bell and composed cf a
uumber of oLher citizens oi mis city
The delegation was escorted to tht
campus of the Georgia Nornil and In-
lustrial Ccliege immedla’ely upon tliei
r

were invited to partcipate in an old
A short while after the visitors
reached Milledgeville they were taken
to many historical places of interest
in and around this city, first being
the old Governors’ Mansion erected
in 1836, and the Georgia Military Col
lege, fo merly the eaptol of Georgia,
erected in 1806. They were also
shown the old home of William G.
McAdoo, on South Jefferson street.
In conclusion of their trip to this
city, the visitors were accompanied by
several citicens of Milledgeville to the
Georgal State Santaiium. -where they
were shown about the p emises of the
largest singlet institution in the South
operated under one head, each one
ex-pressing themselves as being mar
veled ever the' neatness and general
surroundings of the place.
Abo. t the middle of the afternoon
Thursday the garage of Mr. W. T.
■ .undy was threatened by fire when
tin automobile gasoline tank was
’urned into a blaze by a connecting
wire which was charged with elec
tricity
At the time the gasoline caught Ore
a mechanic was working on the ma
chine. The blaze sonn developed to
the extent of causing considerable
excitement and a lire extinguisher
was put into operation, soon bringing
about desired results in handling the
flames.
Immediately after (he automobile
caught fire flames leaped into a buck
et of gasoline nearby. The bucket
of gasoline was taken from the place
by Mr. W. T. Lundy, who sustained
somewhat serious burns in taking the
flaming vessel frrm the building.
With the- exception of slight injuries
sustained by Mr. Lundy no further

FIVE ACRES GROWS
145 BUS. OF WHEAT

Per Acre Is Grown By Mr.
E. S. Vinson In This County
This year.
On another side of Baldwin county
has been reported the growth of 14A
bushels of wheat cn live acres of
ground, th\ yield having been pro
duced by Mr. Edward S. Vinson, fath

This average yield of 29 bushels of
wheat to the acre is another demon

growth of that grain which is at pres

figures will no doubt encourage an

Washington. July 26. — President
Wilson today in a personal statement
addressed to his fellow countrymen,
renouncing mob spirit and mob action,
called upon the nation lo show the.
world that while it fights for democra
cy on foreign Holds, it is net destroy
ing democracy at home.
The I’t orient referred not alone to
mob act'on against those suspected of
hoing enemy aliens or enemy sympa-
thizors; he denounced most emphatic
ally mob action of all sorts, especially
lynchings, and while lie did not t for
s'-ociflently to lynchines of negroes in
the South, it is known that lie includ
ed their in bis characterization of
mob spirit as "a blow at the heart o, 1
ordered law and h inane justice.”
Germans Using It'In Propaganda,
li is known that the lynching ■ of
negro s, as well as attacks upon ho o
-usneeted ol being enemies or sympa
thizers havo boon used in German
nrt t panda throughout Central and
S uth America, as weM as Europe, to
’-’d that the pr tensions of the
United Stales ns a champion of dem
ocracy are a sham.
Deeply concerned by the situation,
tho President decided to address his’
f ello\v countrymen and to <)• lare that
“every mob contributes to German
lies about the United States whnl h n r
most gifted liars cannot improve upon
by way cf calumny.”
n'he President's statement in full
fillows:
The Statement In Full.
My Fellow Uo ntrymen:
I take tho liberty of addressng
you upon a subject which vainly
effects tho honor"o fthe nation
and the very character and integ
rity of our institutions that I trust
you will think me justified in
speaking v ry plainly about it.
I allude to the mob spirit which
has recently here and there very
frequently shown its head amongst
us, not ni any single region, but
lp many and widely separated
parts of the country. There have
ueen many lynchings and every
one of them has been a blow at
the heart of ordered law and hu
man Justice. No man who loves
America, no man who really cares
for her fame and honor and char
acter. or who is truly 'oyal to her
Institutions, can justify mob ac
tion while the courts of justice
ere ooen and the governments of
the states and the nation are rea
dy and able to do their duty. We
ant, at this very moment fighting
lawless passion. Germany has
outlawed herself among the na
tions. because she has disregarded
the sacred oblgations of law and
has made lynchers of hei 1 armies.
Lynchers emulate her disgraceful
example. 1, for my part, am anx
ious to see every community In
America rise above that level,
with pride and a fixed resolut'on
which no man or set of men can
afford to deaptpq. „ w . '
Champions of Democracy.
We proudly claim to be the cham
pions ot ib nocraey. If we ready
arc. in deed and in truth, Jpt us
see to t that wt do not discredit
our own 1 suy plainly that every i
American who taV ,s part In the
action of a m b or giver It any
sort of countenance is no true son
of this great democracy, but. its
betrayer, and does more to dis
credit her by that single disloy
alty to her standards of law and
ot rig lit than tha words of her
statesmen or th? sacrifices of her
her ic bn-s in the trenches can
do to make suffering peoples Ic-
lleve her to he her saviour. How
..hull wo commend democracy to
tli nc eptance of other peoples;
i! we disgrace our own by proving
that ii is. alter all, no protection
to 'be weak? Every mob con
tributes t Gcrnmn lies about the
Uni"’’ States what her most gift
ed liar-; cannot improve upon bv
ihe wny of calumny. They can
at leas, say that such things can- 1
v.nt 1:h •> in Germanv, except in
times if revolution, when lau is
swept away!
I therefore very earnestly arid
solemr.lv lee that the governor
of nil tho states, tho s'a os, law
r’TW r- 0 f very comm nity, and
above all, the men and women of
every community in the United
slates, all wh revere A lieri a an.I
wish to keep her name without
stain and ronroaoh, will co-optr-
atr—rot nnsslvelv merely, hut
actively end watchfully to make
an end of ths disgraceful evil. It
cannot live where the eommunity
does not countenance It.
Putting Energy Into War
I have cal. <1 upon the nation ti
put Its great ener-v Pun 'tdc
and li has responded—responded
with a spirit and a genius tor ac-
Mcn that has thrilled the world. I
row enll upon 't. upon Us men
and women everywhere, to see tn
it that Its laws er kept inviolate,
its fame untarnished. Let -t
show our utter contempt for the
things that have msd> this vvar
hideous among the wars of history
bv showing how those who love
liberty and Edit and Justice an l
sre willing to lav il 'wn their lives
for them upon foreign fields,
stand ready also to illustrate to
pt) mnnklnd their loyal* v to th -
things at home which thev wi *-
to R’ O established everywhere •* u
