New York Tribune: The supreme merit of the latest note addressed by the Amer iean to the German government is that it faces the facts as they are. It tells the truth that has always been unms- takable and it tells 1t in words that can neither provoke just resentment nor per init honest apprehension.

TWO MEN ARRESTED.
At ELLAvILlE FOR
FORGERY CHARGES

ELLAVILLE, Ga, Nov. 20.-The
white men who give their names as
G. r. Locke and Rogers Wilson, are in
the Schley county Jail charged with
forgery, when they cashed check at
the Bank of Ellaville for s24e, signed
by w. w. Gresham, payable to F. D.
Robinson and drawn on the Douglas
vile Banking Co.
1t appears that the two men APP
proach the cashier of the EllaviIle
bank during the day and requested that
the checks be cashed, but he refused
that the checks be cashed, but he re-
fused because of the men being strang-
ers.
Later during the day they returned
while Assistant Cashier Johnson was
Gil duty, and he gave the money on the
checks. They were apparently endors-
ed by DR.. J. S. Lightner, prominent
dentist here, but it is alleged that Dr.
L;ghtner's name was forged, it being
secured from his Office sign.
The white men left Ellaville, but
were overtaken by the authorities, ar
rested and put in jail The money
was recovered when the men were ar
rested,

The wind blew so fiercely down the
stadium that the goal post at the en-

WESTON WON LOVING
CUP IN COLUMBUS

WESTON, Ga, Nov. 2O,-Georgia
Products Day, observed in Column
Lus the 18th, was very eventful
cay so far as Weston was concern
ed, for it was this thriving town that
carried away the honors of the day.
Weston was awarded the beautiful low
ing cup for being the best advertised
town represented in the entire state.
Early Thursday morning every avail
able automobile lined up in Weston for
the run to Columbus. Near the entire
male population boarded, and, despite
the fact that rain was in evidence, ev-
erybody seemed happy, because they
were interested, heart and soul, in the
future welfare of their little village.
The cars were artistically decorated
with printed signs of Weston's pros
rerity and their place in the long pa
rade was very conspicuous.
At the big banquet, which was serv-
ed at the New Ralston Hotel, Hon. A
p. Passmore was the efficient speaker
for the Weston boys, after which the
silver loving cup was presented.
