MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1920
NUMBER 44.
I believe that a new bank could
started in this community in one
v by the right parties. If Charlie
urett had not left us he would have
, en the very man to head such an
nterprise.
I have not asked any one to sub-
cribe for stock, but have had ten
housand dollars voluntarily offered,
nere no telling what could be
aised in a day’s soliciting.
Here are some of the prices that
r e re bid for the bank stock that I
entioned last week: Milledgeville
ank, $260 a share, with an intima-
n that they would give a lot more
necessary; Exchange Bank stock
pent fast from $175 to $185 a share;
ist National, $200. I believe that I
Bn sell any of the above stocks at
en better figures than those men-
,ned. If you want to see ju3t what
ou can get, turn over your stock to
ie and name your limits.
I am ure every one regrets that
, M. C. lost both its presents, by
iftnation, within thirty days of
ich other. If they had not both been
:ry aimiable and sensible we might
>ve lost one or both, long before
<, bu. it is kind of hard on a com-
lunity that has been in a strain
using two presidents through a
:sr, with the hopes that they could
least count on one the next year,
lore them both. I don’t suppose any
ie felt the strain any more than I
Id. for the trustees owe me a “little
t" (as the darkies say), and I felt
lat any board of trustees that had
r o presidents on its hands for one
ihool had just about all it could
:aml, so 1 did not press them for
|y money. Now, bless goodness, they
ivc lost both their presidents, nnd
they start next year with three
esidents 1 won’t dare think about
much less ask for it.
Are you a “sport?” Oh yes, you
jy> f an) a sport, for if I lose two
jllars and a half on a horse race,
nay it, even if my money was not
: stake-holder’s hands, and if I
dollar bet on the cotton mark-
collect it because I expect the
ih' fellow to face the music,” but
at do you do if the other fellow
t guesses you on a business propo-
ion? Do you take the gaff like a
me chicken, or do you show your
ck feathers like a “dominica?” If
man takes you up on your own
oposition, where you thought you
syed safe, and it turned out that
had the mother-wit to make a lit-
i more than you thought he could
)ou come up to the rack, fodder
no (odder, or do you swing back,
ak, balk and contend for things
at are so unreasonable that it
up the trade? What this world
cds is more "sports,” when it comes
business, and fewer of them
°und the race track.

A special drive for a Home Ser
vice Fund for the Salvation Army
will be started as a nation-wide
movement on the tenth of this month
and will continue until the twentieth.
Mi. George S. Carpenter has been
designated as chairman, and Mr. Mil
ler S. Bell treasurer, in this very
worthy drive. These gentlemen will
appreciate a spontaneous response to
this call from all the people of the
city and county.
None of our people are ignorant of
the patrtiotic and valiant service
rendered by the Salvation Army dur
ing the world war, and all of them
appreciate the great work being done
by the organization at home since
the war.
Despite the high prices of every-
t:nng these days, here are some of
‘he things that even “fifty-cent” dol
lars, if invested with the Salvation
ists, will do for the poor, the sick,
the distressed and the unfortunate.
$1.00 will support a neglected
child for one day in a Salvation
Army Children's Home,
$1.25 will furnish a children’s
nurse for one day.
$1.50 will provide a two-day’s va
cation for a child in the country.
$1.75 will remake two pairs of old
shoes in a Salvation Army Industrial
Home.
$2.00 will supply food for a family
of four for one day.
$2.50 will clothe a child.
$3.00 will supply an infant with
milk for ten days.
$4.00 will care for an unfortunate
woman for four days in a Rescue
Home.
$5.00 will provide luncheon for 25
children of working mothers in a Day
Nursery.
$6.00 will buy coal for a family
for two weeks.
$7.00 will give a mother a week’s
vacation in the country.

Although two days late. Dr. Wei-
gle appeared at the Methodist church
Tuesday morning, and at the very
first service captivated his hearers.
His singing is exceedingly fine, and
his personality vital and sw. nir-
ited. He says he has no new Q- \
but old truths put in new waysry^,
desire, he says, is to get people
of the ruts, and walking in
paths, and above all to have a more
abiding interest.
At tike night service, assisted by
Dr. Lipham, he led the chorus sing
ing and also sang a solo. The people
of Milledgeville have always loved
music and this added to his message
stirred the congregation.
Dr. Weigle and Dr. Lipham were
entertained at supper by some mem
bers of the senior class at the G. N.
and I. College Tuesday evening, and
ilhe college girls promised support in
cbe singing throughout the meeting.
Dr. Weigle is stopping at the par
sonage and says he is delighted with
\
w. 1
Milledgeville. “I have heard of this
classic old city all my life and won
dered what it was like,” said he, “and
now that I am here I am no delight
ed with you, town and your people
and your church. Why this great
building is so nice and ought to
house so many activities. 1 am so
glad you have a stirring pastor; he
not the kind to lie around towr
whittle goods boxes and fool
his time, but a man who works

a. proper atmosphere for a great
meeting. I never found a busy
church in my life tiiat something did
not stir when they all got together
in a general pull for an advance.
Come along now, and let’s win.”
Along such lines Dr. Weigle open
ed his campaign, and the people who
heard him looked at each other and
said let’s back up the preachers and
have an old time revival.

Citizens Met Last Saturday and Dis
cussed the Erection of a Cotton
Mill for l his City.
On last Saturday morning a num
ber of progressive citizens met at the
City Hall for the purpose of inaugu
rating a movement looking toward
the establishment of a cotton mill in
this city.
The proposition at its initial start
was to utilize the building now oc
cupied by the Fowler Manufacturing
Company as the site for the factory
and install machinery for the manu-

The moving spirit behind the en
terprise was Mr. W S. Myrick, of
this city. The proposition as outlined
carried an offer from a tire company
to take the output of the mill, tdlow-
ing a good per cent, profit on the cost
of the produced article and to con
tract for the output for two years af
ter the plant began operation.
After a discussion of the matter
Mr. Myrick was rnude chairman of
a committee to present the scheme
to the business men of the city and
open a list for stock subscription.
While as yot the project is in the
embryo state it seems very probable
that, aggressive action will be taken
in the matter and the plant profita
bly begun.
Mr. Myrick as chairman of the
committee is lookmg- thoroughly into
the proposition and it is to be hoped
that material results will be ready
for report at an early date.
