“THREE REASONS WHY I SHOULD GO TO CHURCH!”
GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY!
1. God comands it—‘‘Forget not the assembling of yourselves tegether.”” You're disobedient
if you don’t!
2. “My House Is a House of Prayer.”” Your country needs your prayers. You're a slacker
if you don’t.
3. Your life demands it! God’s in His House. You'll find His blessing there. You're the loser
if you miss this chance.

For Use of Soldiers
Several days ago The (Georgian
announced that stubs of pencils,
thousands of them, were desired
by the Y. M, C. A. for the use of
~ soldiers on board outgoing trans-
T ports, so they could slip away to
‘ some corner in the ship and write
letters home.
Jettie and Johnnie Wilbank,
who live in Lanett, Ala., just
across the Georgia line, saw the
story, and on Saturday there
came to The Georgian a large
pasteboard box filled with brand
new pencils, ready for use, and
a letter from their mother, Mrs.
Luella Wilbank. It said:
‘“Please accept these pencils as
a token of love and best respect
to our soldiers who are leaving
daily for overseas. We bid them
~ God-speed, and they have our
love and heartiest wishes as they
) go away. These peficils were col
lected by Jettie and Johnnie Wil
‘ bank from friends in Lanett. T

at Eagan, Saturday was being held
in the Tower awaiting action by the
Henry County Grand Jury at Mec-
Donough for his slaying of J. Wal
ter Hightower, 60, of Stockbridge.
Hightower died early Friday in

place he had been removed in the
hope that an operation might save
his life. Henderson was brought to
the Tower for safekeeping.
The shooting occurred near Stock
bridge and was declared by Hender
son to have been the result of drink
ing and gambling. He said he acted |
in self-defense.
Henderson bears a cut on his neck,
which he declared was given him by
a relative of Hightower following the

Says Wife Folded
Mrs. Willie E. Polson Saturday was
likened by her husband, C. W. Polson.‘
in a divorce suit flled in Superior!
Court, to the proverbial Arabs of o]d,‘
when he declared that in the fanner
0i there ancients she “assembled her
paraphernalia, folded her tent and
stole away.”
He said this going away took place
January 6, 1913. Attorney R. R.
Shropshire filed the suit.
Mrs. Nettie Steel Vaughan, in a di
vorce suit filed Saturday against Rus
sell W. Vaughan, explained that she
quit her husband immediately on re
viving, after he had knocked her un—‘
conscious, She said that prior to this
the husband had beat her, and that‘
he nagged and abused her when she
failed to give him money, for which
she was compelled to work. The suit
was filed by Attorney Thomas E.

ase 0I Nerves
After hearing evidence concerning a
neighborhood row between G. H. Carr,
of No. 335 Angier avenue, and Mrs.
Lillie Freeland, of No. 324 Angier ave
nue, Judge L. Z. Rosser, Jr., in the
criminal division of Municipal Court,
Saturday ruled that the trouble was
“a case of nerves,” and, throwing the
whole proceeding out of court, sug
gested to the contestants that “what
they needed to settle their differences
was a doctor, not a court.” |
Carr had taken out a peace war
rant against Mrs. Freeland and the
evidence developed that the trouble
started from a dispute over the use!
of a well. Carr explained that his
“nerves were wrecked, and that he
was easily worried.” \
Mre, Carr also informed the (.‘ourt‘
that she “is very nervous.” ‘
Then, when Mrs. Freciand went on
the stand in her own behalf, she, too,
declared that she “is suffering from
disordered nerves.”,

Defends His Vote on War Meas
‘g
ures and Ridicules Opponents
Before Habersham Voters.
CLARKESVILLE, Aug. 10.--Sena
tor Thomas W. Hardwick spoke here
Friday to about 125 people from sev
eral different parts of Habersham
County. He was introduced by M. A.
Ivester, jusdce of the peace of this
county,
Mr. Hardwick spoke m wvenalf of
his candidacy in about the same way
as he has heretofore. He spent most
of his time in defending his vote on
war measures, and/ on several occa
sions brought forth applause on pa
triotic utterances as well as humor
ous ridicule of Howard and Hairis.
It was evident that a majority of
his hearers were in sympathy with
his candidacy. He declared that in
his announcement for Senator to suc- |
ceed himself he had had assurance
from nearly every militia district of
Georgia that he would be successful
un September 11.
Mr. Hardwick declareg that he was
as patriotic as anyone else, but be
lieved in free speech, and that he ex
ercised this privilege afforded by the
Constitution of the United Stdtes in
support of the volunteer system in
stead of the selective service. He said
that the volunteer system had proven
+ success in Canada and Australia,
and that had his amendment been
passed by Congress from 5,000,000 to
6,000,000 volunteers could have been
reised in the United States,

. Two Candidates
CLEVELAND, GA.; Aug. 10
Thomas W. Hardwick, candidate for
re-election to the United States Sen
ate, addressed an audience in the
courthouse here Friday afternoon., He
was advertised to speak at 10:30
o'clock, but as John R. Cooper, also
a candidate for the same office, was
advertised to speak at 11 o'clock, it
was agreed that the speaking of each
be postponed until the afternoon,
Mr. Hardwick’s speech was purely
upon defensive lines. He explained
to his hearers why he took the posi
tion he did upon all questions per
taining to the war, making his ar
arraignment as forceful ag possible.
He scored his opponents, saying he
teit free to attack them since he had
been attacked by them. He was in
troduced by Chairman Henderson, of
the Democratic executive committee,
in a very few appropriate words.
Hardwick was followed by Mr
Cooper, who certainly entertained the
crowd, and he was repeatedly cheered
in his speech upon mention of his op
ponents.

Bits o Cheer
from the Boys
At the Front
In a letter from Lieutenant T. Mil
ton Fowler, of the 328th Infantry, now
in the trenches in France, to his
brother, Dr. C. Lewis Fowler, .presi
dent of Lanier University, he says
some fine things about the scope and
usefulness of the work of the Y. M.
C. A. in France. He expressed great
surprise when he learned that the
Y. M. C. A, men now at the front fol
low the soldiers in the trenches right
into the front battle lines; that they
serve them coffee and render other
good service in the hours of their
greatest struggle. He urges that the
Y. M. C. A. work in this country be
pushed and encouraged, for he says it
is the most important branch of the
service in the actual fighting.
“We could not get along without
the Y. M. C. A.,” he concludes.
Lieutenant Fowler Was trained at
Camp Oglethorpe and was for sev
eral months at Camp Gordon before
he left for France in May.

Thousands of Workmen Will Be
Thrown Out of Employment -
After Monday, . 48l
T ]
More than 140 industrial plants op
érated by electrie power, including
cotton mills employing thousands of
operatives, will be shut down begin
ning Monday at midnight, to remain
closed until rains in the Carolinas and
the North Georgia mountains replen-
Ish the reservoirs above Tallulah
Falls,
Notices were sent the owners of
the plants by Rawson Collier, sales
manager of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company, following letters two
wec ks ago, in which a warning was
given, It was expected then that the
currént would be cut off a week ear
lier, but small raing relieved the situ
ation to some extent. But these rains
did not epread over the Tailulah Falls
watershed, and the river is now lower
than it has been since the great pow
er station was built. The Chattae
hoochee River, too, is at an extremely
sow stage, hardly any power being
available at Bull Sluice. The com
pany has been driving its Atlanta
auxiliary steam plant to its utmost
capacity for several weeks, but this is
not oqu;;é} to the demand for current
from thé” industrial plants along the
hydro-electric lines,
The order affects only industrial
plants scattered along the company’s
lines, and does not disturb the street
car system, the electric lighting and
water pumping of any town supplied
by the company, nor domestic con
sumers in Atlanta. The company ex
pects to produce enough current to
Supply these customers unless mate
ters reach a much worse stage than
now exists. The 40 or more cities on
the lines, however, have been request
ed to economize in lights and in water
supplied by electrie pumps, ;
The Georgia Railway and POW!:;
Company is at work on a reservol
far up the Tallulah River, and above
the lake which now supplies the Tal
lulah hydro-eleetrie plant. When
comnleted, probably a year or more
from now, this reservoir will have
twice the capacity of the present Tal.
lulah Lake, and is expected to store
enough water to carry the company
through any drouth,
A number of the factories affected
have auxiliary steam plants, which
were put out of commission when the
electric system were adopted, but
which can readily be returned to op
eration. The difficulty of obtaining
coal and the high prices prevailing
will prevent some of these from using
steam power, however, Many of the
plants affected are on Government
work,
