PARENT-TEACHER
ASS.N. TO RAISE
FOND FORSCHOOL
A most commendable program is
being undertaken by the Parent-
Teachers’ Association of the Law
renceville Public school in their ef
forts to do something -worth while
Tn'regrda to the equipment of the
new building. In the window of the
First National Bank there is a post
er which shows the item t of window
shades, teachers’ desks, teachers’-
chairs, library equipment, and
items needed for the convenience of
the school. A committee consisting
of Mr. Austin, Mr. George Cash,
Mrs. Gladstone Craig and Mr. Mon
fort, and the superintendent, has
been appointed and a meeting set
for 2:30 Friday, to arrange for a
real campaign for funds to meet the
present emergency of the most ur
gent need of the school building.
The Board of Education has
agreed to set aside $l5O on this
campaign, and if we can get the
town council to do as much, and each
citizen will do what he can, we be
lieve that we can raise the funds
necessary to meet the present needs,
and do it now while the buildriig is
new and we can get the full benefit
of all the necessary equipment. The
town will spend more in one years
time on equipment of glasses and
doctoring injured eyes than window
shades will cost, besides the possible
permanent injury and the suffering.
Teachers cannot do their best work
without the equipment that is need
ed, and every argument seems to
prove that the present campaign de
serves our support.

DID ALL HE COULD.
Governor Walker went into office
pledging to tax reforms, and he is
making a strenous effort to carry
out his promises on this line.
It is to be sincerely hoped thet he
and the Tax Commissioners that he
will appoint may be able to devise
a tax law by which everyone will
pay their due part toward meeting
the expenses of Georgi and her in
stitutions, and that all—big and lit
tle —will be fairly treated by it. As
we have said heretofore, it makes
beter citizens of our people when all
pay their just part toward the main
tenance of lawful government.—Ce

The North Georgia
Fair In Winder
Opens October Ist
The indications are that the 1923
North Georgia Fair at Winder Will
be the best in the history of that or
ganization. The amount of premiums
to be paid runs into the thousands
and hte exhibits will no' doubt be of
a high character.
Everybody in this section ought to
have an exhibit at she fair. It will
help us in our business and commun
ity lives. Get one .of the catalogs
and go in for one of the premiums
offered. Everybody will be at the
faji; and your exhibit will show a
fine spirit. ■ •
General Manger G. W. Woodruff is
doing his best to give this section the
finest fair we have ever had, and he
ought to receive the cooperation of
every citizen in the county and sec
tion.
UNDERWOOD
CLUB FORMED
Monroe, Ga.—Walton county has
the distinction of forming the first
Oscar Underwood club in Georgia,
so far as is known here. Lists cir
culated by friends of Mr. Under
wood are being readily signed and it
developed that there is a great deal
of Underwood sentiment in this sec
tion. Walton county gave a large
majority for Underwood in the pres
idential primary of 1912 and since
that time her people have been still
further impressed by the senator’s
conspicious ability and constructive
statesmanship, as reflected in Wash
ington and echoed by the press
thruoghout the country. They be
lieve there is no good reason for the
south waiting longer to present a
presidential candidate and feel that
in Senator Underwood they have
a man more acceptable to every sec
tion of the country than any other
southerner who could be named.
IMMIGRATION QUOTA
LAW NOT BROKEN DOWN
September 10.—Three
hundred and fifty-seven thousand is
thfl total number of immigrants re
ceivable under the 3 per cent quota
law. The year which ended on June
30, saw 522,919 immigrants enter
this country. It is explained by the
immigration authorities that the
169,919 extra were all persons
specifically exempted from the pro
visions of the fact, as well as by
immigration*from Canada and Mex
ico, which cohiitnfes’ do not come
within the provisions of the quota
law.
How welb the Uaited States is ap
preciated as a land of opportunity
by the citizens of war-torn Europe
is shown by the fact that last year's
immigrants exceeded those of the
year before by 213,363, whereas the
nurr her of aliens who departed fell
from 198,712 in 1921-1922 to 81,450
in 1922-1923, the net increase of the
immigrant population of this coun
try being 110,844 in 1921-1922, as
against 441,469 in 1922-1923. Of the
new-comers this year 83,552 were
classed as laborers; while 106,213
were s killel workers and 191,585, in
cluding women and children, were
listed as of no occupation.

In Homicide Cases
Decided By Court
Atlanta, Ga.—ln a decision in the
case of Mrs. Lucy Cooper, against
James Cooper, Jr., appealed from
the Chatham superior court, the
eGorgia court of appeals mled
Thursday that the right to recover
for a homicide is vested in certain
designated beneficiaries, and not in
all the heirs at law. The ruling ap
plies to cases under the Georgia
workman’s compensation act, the
federal employment act, or the gen
eral death statutes.
The Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
according to the record in the case,
had paid Mrs. Cooper $2,250 follow
ing the death of her husband in a
railroad accident and the estate had
sued her for an accounting of the
m'oney. The appellate court held that
the widow is not called on to make
this accounting.

GWINNETT BOY IS TAKING
HIKE WITH MARINE CORPS
Washington, September 18.
Mai thing through the hills of Vir
ginia with the East Coast expedi
tioi.ay forye. of the 11. S. mar me
corps, Marchel Ember O’Shields,
formerly of Duluth, Gwinnett coun
ty, Ga., is now 'taking part in a
series of maneuvers, which began
August 27 and will not be completed
until October 7, when the force re
turns to its base at Quantico, near
here. ,
Many unusual features ate' being
carried • out in connection with' the
maneuvers, including visits to ' the
civil war battlefields at Waynesboro,'
Winchester and New Market. At the
latter placeman historic spectacle of
the battle of New Market is being
presented by the tnarfnes in con
junction with the calets of the Vir
g.nia Military Institute. Football
and baseball games, moving pictures,
athletic and educational features al
ternate between military marches
ans battle practice. < -’ll***
The marines are following a cir
cuitous trail to Waynesboro, in the
Shenandoah valley, and will return
over a northern route by way of
Winchester, the entire journey being
over 300 miles. They will reach
Washington about October B, where
another football game and a great
military spectacle is scheduled to
take place before the force returns
to Quantico.
O’Shaelds is the son of Mr. Charlie
O’Shields, of Duluth, and he joined
the marine corps at Atlanta last De
cember. He is now attaihed to the)
18th Company, sth regiment. Fifty
six marines from Georgia arc taking
pait in the maneuvers.
Muscle Shoals for Ford.
Industrial leaders here-are great.y
interested in reports which come!
from the rational capital that Henry
Ford has under consideration the re
quest of President Coolidge that the
auto magnate modify his offer for
taking over the government nitrate
plants and water power plants at
Muscle Shoals, Ala. It appears that
the Alabama Power Compay owns
the land upon which the Gorgas
power plant is situated, hence a new
bij from Ford will be necessary.
C. W. McClure, Atlanta merchant
financier, and others who started the
Ford-for-Muscle Shoals movement in
the south, today expressed* the opin
ion that every effort will to
"have congress act on the Ford offea
as modified—should he modify it,
which is expected.
“In Ford’s hands Muscle Shoals
would become a mighty machine for
the development of one of the finest
sections of our country, and it would
be a healthy development,” said Mr.
McClure. “North Alabama, east
Tennessee, north Mississippi and
north Georgia, particularly, 75,000
square miles Of 45,000,000 acres,
would become one of the mort highly
developed sections of America and
wt-uld Mlreate wealth tUat would
make me Pittsburg district, take
setond place—and it would come t*
pass quickly*.”
