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.

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.

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.

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.

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. OOOOQQOOOCOOO Walter A.
