In three days, is the record at Way-
cross.
Waycross.—Bankers of various sec
tions of the state are falling in lino
with the movement started by the
Georgia Landowners’ Association for
a tick free state.
Atlanta.—Farmers throughout the
state are afraid if there is not a let
up in rain crops will suffer. Already
some damage has been done to cot
ton and further excessive rains will
cause more.
Macon.—Oliver R. Jelks and Howard
C. Jelks, sons of Mr. and Mrs. E. N.
Jelks, mailed their application to the
chief signal ofllce, United States army,
for service in the aviation department
of the United States army.
Waycross.—Commissioner John You-
mans has received reports that imme
diate repairs would have to be made

EXPERTS INDORSE PROGRAM
Orville Wright, Inventor of Airplane,
Says Conflict’s Quick Termination
Lies in Air Inferiority for
Some Combatant.
It is still difficult]’,for most of
us to realize that our beloved
country is irretrievably commit
ted to the world war.
Typnoid has been shorn of its
terrors. Inoculation properly
done by a competent physician
has practically prevented typhoid
in the armies of the allies.
' We believe the Georgia Nor
mal & Industrial College, one of
the very best institutions in the
State, should share the Smilh-
Lever funds and could accom
plish more than any other insti
tution in the state.
The country weekly is having
a hard time these days. The
price of printpaper has doubled;
the government wants to in
crease postage rates and tax ad
vertisements and the Georgia
legislature now proposes to re
duce the rate of legal advertising.
We heard that a Douglasville
man said a few days [ago that
he had rather [fight for the
Kaiser than to fight for Wilson
We never heard him say it and
hope it is a mistake but if it is
true all we have.to say is he is
either too densely ignorant to
be responsible or not wortny of
citizenship in ajfree country.
Washington.— The principal con
tribution of the United'States to the
allies' military operations will be the
evolution of un entirely new type of
lighting airplane.
This prediction was ninde by n high
on many of the main roads of the I ranking olllcor of the navy,
county. Approaches to bridges on some j„ common with many of his asso-
hlghways have been rendered danger- clutcgi t ) lla officer believes that not
ous by washouts. only the allies but Germany have work-
Calhoun.—Before a congregation I'd on u fuulty theory In trying to per-
wliich (axed to Its capacity the n
Some people arejfcross-eyed
enough to think Herr. Hardwick
will succeed; himself, If [they
were strippedjand [compelled to
dress themselves, they [would
poke theirjheads through pants
legs, put their feet ini thsirjeoat
pockets, tie their shirts around
their necks and then waddle
around shouting; “Hurrah for
Germany,”—Greensboro Herald-
Journal.
Should the Jeffersonian be'.[ex-
’’’lded from the mails, Mr. Wat-
n will be in a bad row of
imps. He will be worse than
itatesman without a job. ? Mr.
Watson is a great man, and we
have been for him when we
thought he was right, but now
that we are at war and must
Whip Germany or get whipped,
we think he is wrong in his un
tiring attacts of Mr. Wilson and
his administration.—B arrow
Times.
Methodist church here, Bishop W. A.
Candler preached a very able sermon,
the occasion being the dedication of the
new Methodist church recently com
pleted.
Decatur.—Tax Receiver M. D. Coo-
ger lias completed the consolidation of
the tax returns from DeKalb county
for the year 1917. The books show a
gain in values over last year of $1,-
716,770 for the whites and $85,826 lor
the colored, making a total gain of $1,-
802,595.
Hartwell.—One of the largest crowds
ever gathered in Hartwell for an edu
cational rally has been held. The move
ment for county wide school tax was
given a considerable boost, and it now
seems that there wil be very little op
position to the system. The crowd was
estimated to be over two thousand.
Macon.—Two more assistants to Ma
jor Walter Henwood, construction
quartermaster at Camp Wheeler, have
arrived In Macon. They are Captain
William T. Lashley of the Kentucky
National Guard, and Captain J. E.
Rudolph of the National Guard of In
diana.
Calhoun. — The new Methodist
church, which lias been under con
struction for two years and which has
cost twenty-live thousand dollars, is
completed without any debt against it,
and has been under the supervision
of the pastor-architect, Rev. C. M. Lip-
ham, who designed It.
Waycross.—Secretary J. S. Elkins of
the chamber of commerce has written
the county commissioners of Pierce
‘and Wayne, the board of trade of
Brunswck, as well as Glynn’s commis
sioners, suggesting a Joint conference
for the purpose of arousing interest in
devlopment of the highway between
Waycross and Brunswick.
Waycross.—The annual reunion of
the Meeks family will be held soon at
the old Meeks home, two miles from
Nicliolls, in Coffee county. Several
hundred persons will attend, coming
of counties of this section of the state
Nearly everybody who has been in
south Georgia long has heard of the
Meeks’ reunions.
Brunswick. — Negotiations which
have been pending for some time be
tween Oscar Daniel & Co., of New
York; the Atlanta, Birmingham and
* Atlantic Railroad company and the
Brunswick board of trade, have final
ly been closed, whereby Brunswick se
cured another shipbuilding plant,
which is not only to be the largest
in this city, but will surpass any in the
South.
Cochran.—The firm of Peacock &
Hodge, composed cf J. 1\ and W. H.
Peacock, proprietors of Fairview
Farm, Cochran, Ga., and J. W. Hodge,
proprietor of Hie”.way farm. Elko, Ga.,
breeders of Duroc-Jersey hugs have
just purchased the world’s champion
Duroc boar, Orion Cherry King, Jr.,
(5S113), the price paid being $3,500,
one of the highest prices ever paid
for a boar.
Waycross.—Investigation of alleged
cases of price raising without justifi
cation has been asked b> local parties,
the request, according to information
obtainable here, going to the federal
trade commission. It is charged that
in a few cases advances on articles
that have made no advance in domes
tic markets in the past year have been
found in local stores.
Thomasville.—The home guards of
Thomasville are faithful in their drill
ing and twice a week regularly they
answer the call of the bugle and have
learned to handle their guns and drill
like seasoned soldiers. Finding that
there was no chance under-the law to
get guns for drilling, the men went to
work not long ago* and had wooden
guns made and now unless a close
examination was made the ordinary
observer would not know that they
were not real.

( -Where they will be augmented
by the accretions of interest
lation. They have sacrificed ev
erything possible for greater speed.
The result Is the ultra-fast machines
used by the belligerents on the west
ern front nro vulnerable to a high de
gree, despite their armor.
While many fast machinos will be
constructed In this country In addi
tion to the training airplanes now be
ing turned out, it is believed probable
that in carrying out the program an
nounced by Howard E. Collin, chnir-
mun of tlie aircraft production board,
and bucked by President Wilson and
Secretary Baker, much time and money
will be expended in the development
of n now typ* of fighting plane lit
which high speed will be sacrificed to
weight of broadside and Invulnerabil
ity.
It Is predicted the armament of the
new type of American uirplaue will
be as heavy as the navy one-pound
rifle. Tho plun is to muke aircraft
capable of a wider radius of action
than those In use by the ulltes, which
must be aimed at the enemy machines
In order to make their machine guns
effective.
Wright Indorses Move.
Orville Wright, who with his broth
er, Wilbur Wright, built and flew the
first man-carrying airplane, strongly
indorsed the program for the develop
ment of aviation In this country on n
broad scale.
“When my brother and I built und
flew the first man-currying machine,"
he said, “wo thought we were Intro
ducing Into the world an Invention
which would muke further wurs prac
tically Impossible. We thought gov
ernments would realize the impossi
bility of winning by surprise nttucks
uml tliut no country would enter Into
war with another of equal size when
It knew It would have to win by wear-
lug out Its enemy.
“Nevertheless, the world finds It
self in the greatest war in history.
Neither side has been able to win on
account of tho part the airplane has
played. Both sides know exactly what
the other Is doing. The two sides are
apparently nearly equal lu aerial
equipment, nnd unless present condi
tions can be ehuuged the war will
continue for years.
Must Blind the Enemy.
“However, if tho allies’ armies are
equipped with such a number of air
planes ns to keep the enemy pluues
entirely back of the line, so that they
are unable to direct gunfire or to ob
serve the movement of the allied
troops—In other words, if the enemy's
eyes can he put out—It will he possi
ble to end the war. This Is r.ut taking
Into account what might be doue by
bombing Gerrnuu sources of munition
supplies, such ns Essen, which Is only
about mo miles behind tho fighting
lines. But to cud the war quickly and
cheaply, the supremacy in'lhe air must
he so complete us to entirely hliud
the enemy.
“The program laid down by the air
craft production board, If curried out,
will obtain this result."
Mr. Wright is now engaged in super
intending the building of the big four
squadron aviation field for the war de
partment at Dayton, O.
