Habits are very useful and help
FIJI things, il one gets the right ha-
bits impressed upon his mind. A
good, healthy impression is what is
needed.
The merchant who is in the habit
of advertising Is indeed the wisest
Of his kind. He has learned eof
the greatest lessons Of his trade. He
has found out that one Of the very
best and surest ways to sell goods is
to LET THE PEOPLE WHO BUY
KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
SOMETHING 10 SELL!
Upon that single foundation has
been built up practically every inn
portant business firm in the United
States. Surely the merchants Of
Georgia and Lee county cannot
hope to succeed in any other man
ner than that by which merchants
succeed elsewhere. That statement
is as plain and clear as the proven
bal Two and two make four"
Yet there are some merchants
here in Leesburg and in Lee county
who are not advertising as they
should. The Journal wants to see
Lee county merchants wide awake
and hustling. Watch our adgertis-
ing pages. We want to helpyou
SELL YOUR GOODS. Is your
business dun2 Then advertise and
keep Oh advertising. There is no
way in tile world to brighten up
business as advertising will do it.
Get the advertising habit. When
business is a little slow, advertise
and keep it moving When bust
ness is good, advertise and make it
better. Advertising is like lubri-
eating. II makes things run
smoothly. It is needed all the time.
Don't let your business get 70
squeaking on account Of the lack q

Advertise TOMORROW. ADVER-
TIsE. Yes, KEEP ON ADVER-
Using as long as you live. It's
THE WAY to get BUSINESS.

The fact that exports, with the

TO THE PEOPLE
OF Lee COUNT

We, the members Of the. Board Of
Commissioners have made diligent in4
quiry into the financial condition Of this
county, and find that Lee county is in
debt to the extent of approximately
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
We arrive at this conclusion by charg
ing the gross Indebtedness of approx
mately $50, 600 We credit the cash on
hand and the amount OF taxes that is
due to the county-at approximately
$4,000, In the amount OF tax that is
due the county we find that a great part
Of it is uncolectible, most OF it being
against property which has never been.
in existence For instance $500, 600 was
given in by one citizen to be taxed, on
which amount we are unable to collect
taxes in any amount. In fact we con-
clude that.we will not be able to collect
over ST., 900, leaving our Indebtedness
Approximately $4,000 more than our
assets. We have been endeavoring to
relieve this Indebtedness but find that
we have no way Sf doing so without
bonds. We have, therefore, decided to
take stepsto cali an election in orderfor
the voters OF the county to express their
will At later date we will advertise
our proceedings, and in the meantime
we ask the people to cooperate with us
that we may work out favorable solu-
ton in the matter.

pint bottle of whiskey.
Now what Paul said was that be
was simply trying to change some

NAVAL OFFICER CHARGED WITH
KILLING WITH AUTOMOBILE

Pensacola, Oct. 3O-Lieut. l.. *.
ToIde, U. S. n, who was driving the
Tuesday morning when
the accident occurred in which a
W oman lost her life, and who was
charged with manslaughter in ver-
dict of the coroner's jury, was ior-
mally arrested yesterday. He ap-
peared in the Office of Justice of the
Peace Will l.. Johnson, in whose
court the warrant had been issued,
and furnished bail in the sum of
$1,000 for his appearance at later
date. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the case will be disposed
of at the next term of the court of
record, which convenes on November
s.
The naval officer appeared in the
Cfiicc of the justice early in the fore
noon, accompanied by his attorney.
The bond was not ready for approval
at that nour, but it was allowed to
go over until o'clock in the after
noon, Lieut.. Forde having been al
lowed to 20 in custody of his coun-
sell Long before that hour, how
ever, and while the coroner was busy
with the jury investigating the death
of the negro, Scott, the naval officer
with a friend, showed up and the
bond was found to have been thor
oughly good, and was approved.
Lieut. Forde thereupon was released,
and will be expected to show up for
trial on the criminal charge on No
, vember 3. At that time date will
be set for the hearing by the coun-
ty solicitor.
| There were rumors yesterday that
| the naval people would interpose
some objection to the civil authori-
ties takin,e over the lieutenant, be-
cause, it was asserted the naval
authorities desired to investigate the
case This did not prove true. In
fact, it was understood that Lieut.
I'orde, as soon as he had learned that
there had been such a verdict by tht
coroner's jury, he was ready to per
sonally appear and give answer l.
the same or furnish security for h
appearance.

arrivals at the Pensacola aero sta

Washington, Oct. 30-Secretary
Lansing has announced that his de-
partment had indicated that the
fragment of the engine of war which
sank the Allan liner Hesperian was
part of a torpedo. The German
government has persistently denied
that the Hesperian was torpedoed.
In the opinion of the United States

not be part of a marine mine. Secre-
tary Lansing said the result of the

Germany made the United States
qualified disclaimer of RESPONSE
bility for thesinking of the Hesper-

on the face of the evidence at hand
Germany was satisfied that the Hes

submarine. A fragment of the
metal examined by naval experts and
plcl-ed up on the Hesperian's neck
after the explosion, was sent as evi-
dcnce, with the affidavits of pas
sengers and officers, that the vessel
was torpedoed.
