Newspaper Page TextLOUISVILLE. GA. * > Center of Culture and Learn ing and a City That Is Making Rapid Striges Along Progres sive Lines No Need of Draft Machinery During War—Quota Supplied By Volunteers HUBERT F. BAUCHN (Staff Correspondent.) Loursville, Ga.—Modestly bearing its prestige as the capital and largest city of Jefferson County, aud just, as mod estly elated as having been at one time the capita] of the Umpire State. LiOtiis ville has given proof during the past three years that it is the most patriotic city in Georgia. When America plunged into the great we r thal was raging over the Atlantic, Louisville’s sons lost no time in offering their all to help turn the tide. From Louisville and the immediate territory over forty young men scurried to train ing camps and began the arduous task of learning how to trim the •’jerries'’. And no selective draft was needed. Everyone of them enlisted voluntarily through the purest patriotism. Not a Louisville lad had to bo drafted during the conflict. Those boys wouldn’t wait. And they’re civilians again now—all but one, and he sleeps over there in a soldier grave, only a stone’s throw from the spot where he was killed in action with his face to the foe. He was Ran som S. Rabun—the only Louisville youth who made the supreme sacrifice. Such extraordinary valor did he display dur ing his bust moments that Judge Walter O. McCoy, chief justice of the supreme «*ourt of the District of Columbia, visit ed the grave some time after the burial, photographed it, and sent it to the lad’s mother, with a. glowing account of his gallantry in action. Tn honor of the young hero’s memory is named the Ransom S. Rabun Post of the American Legion, which was organ ized December ID. 191 D. with approxi mately fifty members. W. W. Abbott, Jr. is commander of the post, for the year 1920. New City Officials- A mayor and council for the next two years were, one week since, in a rather spirited election. R. L. Bethea, is the new chief executive, and the council in cludes W. M. Whtgman, J. H. Pollhill. J R. Murphy, J. W. Clark and W. G. S. Rowe. “The first thing we are going to do.’* Mayor Bethea said, “is to build our new school building. Our present building has served us well for many years, but it’s getting old and is also entirely too small to handle the pupils.” The new school building will cost $75.- *>oo. and it. is planned to make it the handsomest in this section of the state. As a center of learning. Louisville “ranks the state’’. For the oldest char tered educational institution in Georgia, the Louisville Academy, is located here. County Officials. When T asked Judge M CV Barwiek, of the City Court of Louisville, to tell me why Jefferson County's roads were so far above the average, he said: ‘‘lt’s our system of selecting the coun ty road commissioners. We have divid ed the county into three road districts, and we name a commission from each. The result, after two years' trial of the plan, has resulted in a 100 per cent im provement in our highways.” The commissioners are: G. S. Fann er. upper district: C. C. Burkhalter, mid dle. and J. R. O. Smith, lower. This tiio predicted that 1920 will be Jefferson County's greatest year in road improve ment. Here are the county officers: J. F.. Brown, ordinary; W. S Murphy, clerk superior and city courts; D. C. Thomas, sheriff: Emmett A. Johnson, tax collec :or; Homer Todd, tax receiver; John R. Phillips, solicitor city court, and M. C. Harwich, judge city court. Bouisville boasts a beautiful court house. One of the largest in the middle Georgia circuit, i* has steam heat, run ning water, and every possible conven ience. Building Improvements. An enrire block of up-to-date brick store buildings was erected in 1919 lo replace the district destroyed by the dis astrous Are in December, 1918. The block would do credit to a large City. They say that 1919 was a $500,000 year in Louisville in point of building activ ity. The First National Bank’s new $75,000 building was completed two weeks ago. and on the first day of the new year ''ashier G. W. Powers cleared his desk for action. The bank is a white terracotta build ing facing the public square, and is moderately equipped throughout. The Bank of Louisville, through its president, W. B. Phillips, announces that If will erect at once a $75,000 banking house on the public square. Both banks are in thriving condition, and their annual statements' show a startling increase in business over the previous year Two months ago the I-ouisvilie Oil Mill, one of the town's biggest assets, was destroyed by f.'rc. Exactly thirty days later work was started on a new mill, and the owners say it will be a vast improvement over the former build ing. Unlimited capital is behind the move. Louisville's system of lights and «i --terworks is municipally .owned, and is one of the first things the city officials point out to a visitor. This year, the system is going to be greatly enlarged, according to the new mayor. The fire protection is not what it -hould be. the people tell me One of the prominent business men said: “If we had had adequate fire depart ment in 1918 when our big fire started, we could have saved thousands of dol lars' worth of property.” Definite steps are now being taken with a view to securing modern , tire equipment for the town. There is nothing inefficient about the police department. Last year’s “police ourt" records show that the force of •hree officers patrolled the little city in iam-op style. As in all county seats, there is quite an *rrav of legal talent in ljoufville. I counted seven shingles, and some of them practice all over the state. Here’s The roster: J. R Phillips, W. L. Phillips, v’rank Hardeman, R. N. Hardeman, Jr.. Rpv V Harris and W. T. Revillc There are many beautiful homes in Louisville Quite a few of the old man sions have interesting histories. Mr John R. Phillips last year wrote in inleresting historical sketch of Louis ville and Jefferson County, and it tells of (he days back in the long ago when speculators came to the capital in Louis ville and attempted to purchase for one aiid a half cents per acre, the lands thOT now the states of Alabama and Mis sissippi. . _ Louisville was the Georgia eapital from 1790 to 1805. The old governor's mansion still stands, almost in the cen ter of the town It was here that the famous Yaxoo papers were burned. Th" oniv slave market in the world stands on tin Louisville publie square. It was erected shortly after Louisville became the state capital. InOUisville has riven to the nation some of its greatest men. It was here that Txmgstreet wrote the greater part of his ' Georgia scenes”. Farming Conditions. Peanut* are going to be raised hem this year In targe quantities Prominent farmers say that the oomtng crop of the county win be peanuts. The boll weevil caused considerable decrease in the 1919 cotton production, but County Farm Agent C V. Shirley «*vs they are going to still plant the anowv staple another year and beat the weevil at hi* own game Mr Shirley said a great many plant er- were taking to peanuts and tobacco, however while others are becoming more and more Interested In hogs and cattle. City l« Growing InOUisrille Is a city rich In traditions and Inhabited by people who have ho desire to make a "big show” They arc all well-to-do and comfortably situated They have everything on oarth In th'dr rlty store* to keep them comfortable So -hev am not worrying a great deal If fhelr railroad service is poor The Louis ville sod Wadlcy Railroad is their lone connection with the outside world. An other railroad would double the popula tion of Ijootsvllle In five years The population at present is estimat ed at between 1.810 and 2.100. It is true that there are almost this many resi dents back In 1791 but If the oldest ritl sens could come bark bow and look at the "old home town” they’d never ret - oimiae tt For latulsvllle bar turn down an old pubis- square of wooden building- and THE AUGUSTA HERALD FIVE CUNTS PER COPY VOLUME XXVII, NO. 10 (ASSOCIATED PRESS) AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. JANUARY 10, 1920 PEACE TREATY RATIFIED Will Put League Into Effect on lanuary 16 Supreme Council Sets Date for Making the League Effective PARIS.—The putting 1 of the league of nations into being which will be one of the immediate consequences of the exchange of ratifications of the treaty of Versailles, will occur in Paris at 10:30 o’clock in the morning of Friday, January 16, the supreme council decided today. Ambassador Wallace cabled this decision of the council to President Wilson so that the President might issue the formal notice of the meeting of the council of the league to be held on the date named. The first meeting of the council will be called to order and presided over by Leon Bourgeois, the representative of France in the council. He will deliver a brief address. Earl Curzon, the British foreign secretary who will represent Great Britain at the meeting also will speak. “TIGER OF FRANCE” WEARS SILK HAT LIKE PRESIDENT BY C, F. BERTELLI, Universal Service Staff Corres pondent. Special Cable Dispatch. Paris. Premier Clemenceau’t* adoption of the silk bat since Thursday is the sole topic of con versation in diplomatic and politi cal circles, as it is interpreted as confirmation of his willingness to accept the presidency. The “Tiger” thus conforms with the saratorial traditions imposed upon France's chief magistrate. In recent years he has scornfully avoided the silk hat as “superflu ous florescene." SOCIALISTS ELI READ) FOR FIGHT New York. —Socialist leaders as the next move in their fight against the action of the stale assembly in sus pending five members of their party, to day were perfecting plans to take their cause directly to the people. A mass meeting in Madison Square Garden will be held at which not only socialists* but leaders ot other parties and citizens generally will have an op portunity to voice protests. The committee of eight socialists Ar ganfnzing the fight to regain the seats of the excluded assemblymen has is sued an appeal lo all*Hvir organizations and labor unions to send delegates to a non-partisan conference to be held at the Rand School on Mondoy evening. While letters and telegrams from all parts of the country, some approving and others censuring the action of the assembly, continued to pour in upon various party leaders, a ’etter from Charles E. Hughes, sent last night to Speaker Sweet, of the assembly, at tracted the greatest attention today. The former justice condemned the sus pension as an act in which “the very principles*’ of the American government are Ignored. He said that It was the prerogative of a legislative body to consider charges made against an in dividual. but that as he interpreted this action it was an attempt to indict a political party. COAL OPERATORS TALK OF STRIKE ENO Washington, D.

Operators outside the central compe titive fields were exported to complete their arguments today. The operators of of the central field held a conference yesterday, but it was understood today they did not agree on a policy. Whether or not the operators will re fuse to enter negotiations with the commission still was undecided early today and some opposition was known to exist among the ope rators to the personnel of tbe commission appointed by President Wilson to adjust the foal controversy. Some contended that the members of the commission already had committed themselves on the principal issues erected in tlretr stead long blocks of up to-date brick structures. The only har rier in the way of a growth that would soon place the city well toward Ihe fore is Inadequate railroad faclliiier Mans of the citlsen.- are hopeful t.hai a new railroad may yet be landed. Cold Storage Plant Plans are now being made for (he erection of a large cold storage plsnt In Louisville. Tbe need is great, for hog killing in ihls vicinity gcx* on with a rush during the winter season, and much ioss results because of weather thangea. Excellent Newspaper. The News and Farmer. leoajsvllle.'s newspaper, Is now in its 36th year under the ownership of Judge J w. White The Circulation is large and the sheet standi St all times for the advancement of every line of public endeavor in the county. Judgn White is otto of the state.'s old est and best-known newspaper men. And while he told me not to print this, I believe It is almost a record, so here goes: Judge White gave night sons and grandsons L> the army during the World War They all wnnt to France, they all saw action, and they all got back home art scathed. The business outlook for 1921 Is bright, the merchants say. There Is not • mer chant in the rtty who is not absolutely '■solid*' In a financial way. And they ar< jubilant over the future ponsifctlt tios. Washinflton. —President Wilson is ex pected to sign the the first meeting of the league of nations council immediately after receiving notice from Ambassador Wallace that the first session has hern fixed for next Friday. The United States however, will not be represented at the meeting as the treaty has not yet been ratiffcd by the senate. Provisions for the president to issue the call for the initial meeting of the council is made in the peace treaty and officials explained thal in signing the call. Mr. Wilson would not be acting in his capac ity as president of the United States. Tlie coming Lnto force of the treaty through exchange of ratification today between Britain, France. Italy and Germany will not affect the United States officials said. While technically the stale of war between this country and Germany still exists, trade between the countries was resumed some months ago and is steadily increasing, particularly the ex port movement from the United States. The United States, however, will not be represented on any of the various commissions set up by the treaty for carrying out. its terms nor can this coun try send consular agents iulo Germany until the state of war is ended. ASKSISO.OOOJI TO AID AUSTRIA Washington,—Authority to advance $1.10.000,000 for food relief in Airstriii, Poland and Armenia was asked of con gress today by Secretary Glass. Mr. Giasff said this amount would re lieve the situation until next fall.

It was reported that the socialists were masters of the situation and that a general strike had been declared throughout the territory not under allleo occupation. The Brussels report of a. German government overthrow are not confirmed from any other source- and it may be noted that the dispatches themselves carry their own qualification emphasising the lack of positive information. it it should prove true that there has been a new uprising in Germany R would appear to have been deliberately timed to coincide with the date set for putting the treaty of Versailles into effect and creating a state of peace bewc.cn Germany and the allied powers. News dispatches from Germany are ordinarily at least 24 hours in reaching this country and the latest mes sages from Berlin, received Friday, bore Thursday’s date. These messages Indicated some unset Demerit in labor conditions, particularly in the vicinity of Essen and tn the Auhr industrial basin, but. the unrest reported did not‘ap pear to be of unusual significance. The independent socialists have boon the disturbing factor for the govern inent in the German internal situation. Since the defeat of the Spartlcan out break last spring they have been threatening u renewed effort to take control of affairs. NO confirmation.
