Milledgeville is soon to join other patriotic cities and towns throughout the country in having a "Community Sing.” The plan as followed in other cities —especially in the East, is to set apart some Sunday evening, when all the various congregations got togeth- ed at one church, together with the people of the town, regardless of creed and, led by the musicians of the city, sing the patriotic airs of the country and listen to religious and patriotic music.

It is believed that several of the “sings" will be held during the autumn and Winter at the various churches.

Every* man is being rated by the gov ernment according to his physical ability and financial standing and the record of each man has been checked up to th>: last notch. The amount of. money to be raised in the Fourth Liberty Loan is greater than any two of the last issups and for this reason it might as well be clear In the minds of the people that they are going to be called upon to go the limit, and ttien some, if such a thing be possibis.

In the first day of the campaign* in soliciting funds for the Fourth iLiberty Loan, men of every class, rich, poor, young and old, came across with sub scriptions for one or more bonds and .erty Loan, a sum equal to $60.00 for | every man, woman and child, both black and white, in the nation.

Since having decided to abandon the hearing before the district com mittee, as was formerly arranged, Watson's case now seems bound to go to the State Democratic Executive Committee and that the matter is set tled so far as the Tenth district com mittee is concerned. The decision of Watson to call ofT the hearing here today means that no meeting of the members of the district committee will take place, as the committees of the various counties in which the Thom son man filed notice of contest have compiled with all the demands made of them. The next step to be taken by the Tenth district committee will take place October 10th, at which time Con gressman Carl Vinson will be named the legal nominee of the democratic party for congress from this district. The congressional convention will take place in Milledgeville. C. C. WILKINSON GETS ARM CUT OFF IN GIN Accidentally Has His Hand Caught In Machinery And Tears Flesh Almost To the Shoulders, Necessitating Am putation. Mr. C. C. Wilkinson, of llrowns Crossing, lost his left arm in'an acci dent Thursday when he had his hand caught in a cotton gin owned by Mr. J. E. Chandler. The flesh of Mr. Wilkinson’s arm was so severely torn up until it was found necessary to have the limb am putated just below the shoulder. At the lime of his injury he was rushed to Milledgeville in an automobile by I)r. N. R. Thomas and the injured man was immediately given surgicul attention. Mr. Wilkinson was taken to the op erating room of Dr. T. M. Hall imme diately after reaching this city and his arm was taken off in a short time thereafter. Since having hi# arm amputated, Mr. Wilkinson has been st the home of his sister. Mrs. Minnie Bivins, and it is said that he Is rapidly recover ing from the wounds sustained Thurs- ^ball the assertion of right be hap- ,day ’ Uitr ' an< * by ca8Ual alliance or shall ' 18 a common concert to oblige ^observance of common rights?"

Others (like myself) will have to borrow. Our home banks are not only rich in money—they are ready and willing to help any one who wants bonds. A first payment of four hundred and fifty dollars will secure three thousand dollars worth of Liberty Bonds. (Let me say right here—There are seventy-five men In Milledge- ville who can do that. Some of them much more.) Now is the time to use our credit "To the utmost." There are some who don’t want to go into debt and must sacri fice a piece of property to raise money to buy bonds. However that's a small matter; not to be mentioned in the same breath with the sacrifice of our brave boys across the sea are making for we home folks in Baldwin County. Every one of our dauntless defend ers are risking their lives. Some have sold their lives. The price they got 13 that we, their home folks may retain our liberty and live in peace and comfort in this our God Blessed Country. j. w. McMillan, MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. p, s. Say,Neighbor—What are you going to do? RALLY DAY BE HELD AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Energetic Efforts Being Made To Have Large Attendance At Big Annual Sunday School Gatherring, October 6th.

Possibly during the week someone will present a star to the readers of these lines This star will be worn next Sunday. It Is expected Qtat all members of the school who have bean absent of late will be present next Sunday. This DR. D. W. BRANNEN IS STILL AT COMMAND Pastor Of Presbyterian Church Stands Ready To Serve The Government, Though Turned Down As A Chap lain. Recently the Government at Wash ington let it he known that there was need for a number of ministers of experience to go overseas as special chaplains for the duration of the war. Dr. D. W. Brannen at once tendered his services for such service. Two weeks ago he received notifi cation from -Washington that the quota needed had been filled before his ap plication was filed. However, it Is known that the serv ices of Dr. Brannen are at the call of the Government whenever needed. ia particularly true of the men In Prof. Alfrtend's class and the women In Mrs. Beeson's elass. At all of the meetlnga large congre gations are turning out to hear the in spiring sermons delivered by the wide ly known minister in charge. During the evenings especially, the church is being almost taxed to its capacity and the work of Mr. Culpepper Is no doubt having » decided effect upon the re ligious elements In Milledgeville. Mr. Culpepper, as a minister of un usual force, bears almost a national reputation and wherever he conducts revival meetings his accomplishments ere notable end worthy of much men tion. Relative to his work In carry ing on n revival service In Elisabeth City, N. C„ during the past year, the Daily Economist of that city, baa the following to say; Twelve months *fo last Sun day Bote Oulpeppnt Mem phis',' his morable reilgloilS*reveal city. Burke Culpepper came hap^ a stranger and found a town of professing Christian's, one-half of whom were at out with the other half. Before he left he had made every obstinate citizen shake hands with every other obstinate citizen. It was a big job and no one who knew anything at all about this town would have under taken it; everybody said it could n’t be done. When it had been done, many wiseacres said it wouldn't last. A year has rolled round; let’s see if Burke Culpepper’s revival was a failure. The answor is found in the columns of this news paper and reflected in every phase of our community dife-r-leaving out the Town Hall. The Elizabeth City Young Man’s Christian Association which had been a failure for 15 years because certain elements in o r town couldn't get together, has been successfully revived and in spite of war-times is be coming one of the city’s most thriving institutions and doing incalculable good. The business men of the town who never were able to get to gether on anything, have been successfully organized for the good of the community since Rurko Culpepper was here and the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce is a result. On October 15, 16, 17 and 18 Elizabeth City will hold its first big, permanent and businesslike agricultural and industrial fair. It promises to be a most success ful achievement. Without the spirit of confidence and good-will and brotherhood which Burke Culpepper injected Into our folks, none of these things which I have mentioned would have been possible. There would have been friction some where along the line to wreck axiy enterprise. But the best testimonial to the permanency of Burke Culpepper’s work is found in the social life of the town. Enemies brought to gether in revival and made friends are still friends. If there has been a break anywhere along the Una I haven't seen it, and I aee generosity at all times. The funeral services of the little one were held at the grave Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, interment tak ing place In the Milledgeville ceme tery, the aad ceremonies being carried out by Dr. D. W. Brannen, pastor of the Presbyterian church. REV. A. A. TILLY GOES TOY. M.C. A. Pastor of Baldwin Circuit Left Wednesday For Blue Ridge, N. C., To Enter Army And Navy Y. M. C. A. Camp. Rev. A. A. Tilly, who has been serv ing as pastor of the Baldwin Circuit for the last three years, has resigned the pastorate of the churchee In his charge to take up work with the Ar my and Navy Young Men's Christian AiKMtartlon ^r fMiy 'left Wetf&egday. for Blue th* (Contineed on Page Three.)

The puipits left vneant on account of the resignation of Mr. Tilly will be left varant until the meeting of the North Georgia Conference, which takes place during the next month. At this tin.' another minister will in all prob ability be appointed to fill the pulpits in the churches of the Baldwin circuit. Next Sunday morning at 11 o’clock Prof. Kyle T. Alfriend will speak to a congregation at Pleasant Grove church in the absence of Mr. Tilly, whose ap pointment was to be filled on this day. Tho family of Mr. Tilly will continue to reside in Milledgeville and they will occupy the home of Mrs. E. B. Dozier, on West Hancock street. MERRITT POUND GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT Friends of Mr. Merritt Pound, son of President .iere M. Pound, of Athens will be interested to learn of his ad vancement in military circles. Mr. Pound was a student at the University of Georgia last year and during the past summer he attended the two training camps at Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y., where he received his commission as a lieutenant. Re cently he received an appointment as instructor in the Students' Army Train ■ng Corps at Fordam University, New York City, which comes as a distinct nonor. CONSERVATION OF FOOD. The U. S.
