GIBSON Published to Furnish the People ot Glascock Coun ty a Weekly Newspaper and as a Medium for the Advancement of the Public Good of the County. VOL. XXXVIII. No. 38. This Week b Arthur Brisbane Money? Plenty of It Bloc Against U. S. A. Shock for Best Minds When Germany Is Ready Washington wanted to sell $650, 000,000 long-term treasury notes, some paying 2%, some 8Ms per cent One issue was subscribed for twelve times. The government could have had $5,- 506,000,000 instead of $650,000,000, al most ten times what it needed. This shows that there is money in the country. Our banks, more heav ily loaded with cash than ever before, don’t know where to use their sup plug money. Karl H. von Wiegand cables from Berlin to Universal Service about tlie “anti-American bloc,” just perfected in Europe- Germany has Joined and it includes France, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Poland, Jugoslavia and Rumania. Mr. Von Wiegand says “British Foreign Secretary Simon and Premier Herriott of France have planned to isolate the United States if Washing ton refuses to cancel war debts." Boycotting is easy, sometimes un profitable. Eight merchants might unite to boycott their best customer and not be happy when the customer stops buying. Here is news to make our "best minds" ponder, muse and fret. Pon ca City, Okla., according to the Asso ciated Press, takes no taxes from Us citizens, because It makes enough from publicly owned water and light plants to pay all city expenses, and this in spite of the fact that rates charged for water and light have been re duced twice in the last two years. Stillwater, another Oklahoma city, is tax free, thanks to public owner ship. In the state of Kansas, Chanute, Colby, Augusta and Beloit are. as you have been told, four tax-free cities. Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, spokes men for the German war ministry, says, “Under the agreement at Gene va, Germany has a rifht to restore her fighting power and wilt do It un less other nations disarm." Other nations will not disarm, therefore Germany undoubtedly will re-enter the list of fighting nations. You can Imagine how some of the al lies would feel should they suddenly find Germany and Italy united under energetic dictators. What would this country answer if European countries thus menaced should come to us again saying, “Kindly oblige with ten billion more dollars and three million more men”? The government lias discovered a “Communist” plot to Injure hank cred its by a whispering campaign. It should be, but is not generally, known that saying, doing or insinuating any thing to injure a bank’s credit is a criminal offense. However, the government and bank ers should make sure that the "reds” are really the “whisperers.” Reds, as a rule, like something that explodes with a bang. They are not whisperers by nature. Some unscrup uious person short of stocks might be interested in promoting tack of confl dence in banks. Uncle Sam should send kind regards to Sir Atul Chatterjee, who leads In dia’s delegation in thp Ottawa confer ence. Sir Atul says he and the rest of India won’t “buy everything inside the British empire” and buy nothing from the United Stutes. India buys and sells in the outside world now $1,500,COO,000 worth of products, 70 per cent outside the British empire, and doesn't intend to jeopardize her trade with the United States. When men decide to die, usually a decision more or less cowardly, they do it in strange ways. One jumps into a volcano, taking a girl with him. An other goes over Niagara, some Jump in front of locomotives, some hang, shoot or drown themselves. Roscoe Griffith went about it deliberately. To ambulance doctors, called by his wife, to find him eating a hasty dinner, he said: “My wife is mistaken, gentle men ; I have taken no poison.” And he smiled. They took him to the hospital. He walked from the ambulance to the door, and fell dead. So many pleasant things can hap pen, so many interesting things are sure to happen, “gigantic troubles” melt so quickly, that it is silly not to wait as long as possible and see. The great Rockefeller city develop ment in the heart of New York, seek ing to avoid competition witii other New York property owners, has wise ly arranged to bring tenants from Eu ropean countries. * (Continued on rage two) Hi–ory of Williams Creek Church By County Historian (From Warrenton Clipper) (By Mrs. W.

Therefore church, resolved that we, as a do engage in humble supplication at a throne of grace at present and that Brother Asbury make public prayer.” At the next conference in May 1841, another resolution was adopted. It reads thus: “Re solved that in conformity to the request of John Tyler, ‘ now act ing President of these United States, and also with regard to the low state of religion, that we (as a church) observe Fryday the 14th of this instant as a day of humiliation, fasting and pray er and our neighbors and friends are invited generally to attend and unite with us.” SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 PER YEAR Three months later, the fifth Sunday in August was observed “as a day of fasting and prayer that the Lord would bless us in our efforts to do good.’’ R.
