|URRAH FOR THE NEXT TO DIE! HIS WIDOW GETS JACK POT

| SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. B.-Do
the pilots of the monster racing
cars entered in the grand prize race
to be held over the convict made
Georgia highway known as the Sa-
vannah automobile course, Novem-
Der IL, realize the risk they take?
If you could look upon these dare
devils the night before the big race
you would know they do. You
would know they go to the starting
line, having carefully weighed the
| chances for and against finishing
alive or being hurried away in an
ambulance to gasp out life in field
hospital.
The night before the last Wander
bilt race-before every big road
race, in fact-these young fellows
who flirt intimately with death,
gathered for banquet. They dined
well and they INDUCED more or less
sparingly in the juice of the grapes
of France.
And when merriment was at its
height and the banquet was draw

And then, standing, the pilots drink

floor when they are drained.
And they go from that room to
their beds not knowing, apparent

will collect the jackpot insurance

Does it take nerve to drive a |
car 60 miles><en hour after this?
Do these men realize the risk they
run when they drive to the start

of bravery, to drive under such cir |
cumstances. 1t is different from |

In The News today is printed a

The petitioners are J. j. Rogers, j.

The company proposes to do a gen
eral business and operate through
out this section, giving especial at
tentiOn to large bodies of land. 1t
intends, among other things, to put
the advantages of this immediate
vicinity before the people of North

some of the good citizens who are
now coming from those states to
southwest Georgia to locate here.
The company already has a tract

TWO MONUMENTS UNVEILED.
Woodmen of World Had Interesting
Exercises Sunday Afternoon.


Sunday the Dawson Camp of
Woodmen of the World with inter-
esting exercises unveiled monuments
the order had erected over the graves
of two deceased Messrs.
Charles Gordon Ellis and Gideon J.
Garner.
Members of the Camp assembled
at the hall, and from there marched
to the cemetery, where the beauti-
full and impressive ceremonies oc-
Cured in the presence of a large
gathering.
The WOodmen Circle was also rep
resented at the ceremonies by num-
Der of ladies.
The music rendered by the choir
under the direction of Mr.. G. M.
Langston was beautiful. Master
Arthur Lewis, the son of Consul
Commander w. ]. Lewis, recited the
WoOdmen poem as impressively as
it has ever been rendered, and to
him the Camp is indebted for ma
terially adding to the programme.
The Grafton of the occasion was
delivered by Hon. George w. Derrick
of Atlanta, who was here as the a
guest of the Dawson Camp for this
purpose. The address was forceful
and impressive, and will be of much
benefit to the local Camp for time
to come. Mr. Derrick is not only
an orator, but is a gentleman of a
pleasing personality that commands
and holds attention and carries CON
viction with his words.
The Dawson Camp of Woodmen
is one of the strongest in the state,
having on it's roster nearly 200 loyal
and enthusiastic members, and when
it is remembered that Camps are
located at Brentwood, Sasser and
Parrot, all in this county, the mem
bership of the local Camp is some
thing to be marveled at.
