THE BOOSTERS CHORUS
AT BAPTIST CHURCH

In the many years during which
we have observed efforts to i'm
press moral teachings upon the
young and old, and the many
methods by which the desired
object was to be achieved, we
have never seen better judgment
used, nor a more far-reaching
method adopted, than the one in
augurated by Mr. Wolslagel at the
Baptist church revival, when he
organized what he termed a
Booster Chorus" whom he drills
in something like a college yell,
that within itself carried one of
the strongest and most impressive
mandates of the Bible.
The boys and girls, who in turn
carried the well known theme in
to every home in the city, will
reap the good of the meeting
along their entire travel thru life,
if nothing else during the entire
services leaves an impression up
on them. We congratulate Mr.
Welslagel upon the ingenuity and
inspiration that called forth this
original idea of his. It's d lesson
that will abide and bear valuable
fruit, Look it up.

PRINTERS SUPPLIES
STILL ON RISE

Atlanta, April 15.-How would
you like to pay fifteen cents a
week tor your newspaper, instead
OF ten or twelve cents that you
are paying now? Such a thing is
a distinct possibility if the price
OF paper, metal, ink, and the 9th
er commodities the newspapers
use continue to advance as they
have in the last few days.
The Atlanta newspapers as we'll
as all other newspapers in Geor-
g1a and over the Southern states
will have to pay from three thou
sand dollars more for the white
paper they use to print their edi-
tons this year than last, if they
are able to get all the paper they
need, Every publication has been
hit by the skyrocket of prices,
Ink was the latest to feel the
stlffening of prices, while metal,
used in the typesetting machines
and for making cuts has Just
doubled in the last few weeks.
SO far as can be learned the
daily papers do not contemplate
an increase in subscription rates
yet they may have to do 1t be
tore the summer is over. GeOr-
gia Weeklies, in a number of in
stances, have raised their sub
scription price from one dollar tC
dollar and half, but, take ii
from a newspaper man, most OF
them are worth that anyway.
Several newspaper men from
over the state, i'll their trips tc
Atlanta, have discussed the mat
ter Of increasing their advertising
rates, in frantic effort to make
ends meet and the question ia the
fraternity is: Where is it all go
ing to end.

AT MEETING. OF BOARD

By invitation from the Board
some seventy-five interested citiz
zens, both men and women met
with the Board of Education Fri
day evening at the High School,
primarily to urge the re-appoint-
ment of Prof. Ford as Superinten-
dent of the Schools. A number

of the good roads Campaign years
ago will be formally passed upon
this week at a conference OF the
directors of the Georgia Short
Route Association and the man

way bureau of Waycross. 1t is
proposed that the highway asso-
citation appoint officials with titles
like those given the passenger de-
partment of a railroad. Isadore
Gelders, of Fitzgerald, secretary
of the Short Route Association,
will be made general passenger
agent. He will have several trav-
cling passenger agents, locating
one at each important town from
Macon to Jacksonville via Way
cross. Besides these agents, there
will be demonstration agents, who
will assist the various counties
now working on their roads, and
an engineer, will cooperate so
that no serious mistakes in grades
and bridges will be made.
The publicity campaign is going
to be extensive and funds for this
purpose are being raised along the
route now. Waycross will be the
center of the movement, placing
the new bureau at the disposal of
all highway enthusiasts along the
Central Dixie Highway. ]. D.

CENTENARIAN BUT

a visit to that section of the state.
The aged man has never worn a
coat in summer or winter, and
during his entire life has neither
called a physician nor taken any
medicine.
Uncle William resides with
his son, Albert Claxton, who is
now sixty-eight years of age, at
their home on Straight creek,
about six miles west of NeS az
well. The older man was born
and raised in Claiborne county,
and has resided there Throughout
his life though at present he is en-
joying a visit to relatives in Vir-
ginia.
Though almost deaf, this active
centenarian thoroughly enjoys a

rious friends or acquaintance

ENORMOUS DEMAND
FOR MAXWELL CARS

I rushed,
I'VE thought We knew the public,
thought that we could tell just eI-
actly what the demand would be
and We planned to meet that figure.
But the result has been far greater
than we even dared hope for We
have new idea Of the popularity OF
the Maxwell car.
"Thc Maxwell was remarkable
value at the old price. Now, with the
price reduced to S595, 1t Is not sur
prising that we cannot keep up with
the demand. Dealers everywhere are
clamorIng for shipmnts, and we are
rushing our plants as fast us we pos
sibly can. Four hundred cars per day
are being built, and shipments are
being sent out in greater quantities
than we imagined would be possible
for our organization.
Tho public Will have to bear with
us on deliveries. Take care OF them
as best you can, and say that we are
doing everything in our power to get
the cars to them, without sacrificing
the quality. This great demand for
cars now is the result of the unusual
value we have offered in the past, and
we arc not going to compromise 1t In
any way, even though we should have
to hold up deliveries for several
weeks. .,
but you can promise that We shall
cndeayor to get caught up in Il month
or so, and they will all be supplied. ~

backs up the reports from all parts Of
the country that the Maxwell ia today

even been approached in the COM

West Vlrgllna's game with Wash

While attractive, this game cannot
hope to assume the Importance OF the
Washington and Lee-West Virginia
University contest, Wesleyan's game
with Washington and Jefferson has
been transferred to Washington and
the Carlisle game has been discon-
tinued so that apart from the minor
home games of West Virginia Uni
verslty and Wesleyan at Morgantown
and Buckhannon the big contest
at FaIrmont will be the only import
ant struggle staged in the state this
year, Four or five big" games were

sporting element, however, as Beth
any, Marshall and Davis and Elkins
College will all have teams.
The decision on the part Of Boyd
Chambers at Marshall not to at
tempt another heavy schedule is GER
tainly wise one. Marshall has the
resources In material and coaching
to be able to be a big factor in
games with college teams Of its own
class. but its 1915 schedule was al
most criminal. Marshall does not
meet either Wesleyan or West Vir-
glnia this year, but with Marietta,
Ohio University and others OF the
same class should make fine show

Bethany will obtain new lease OF
life II reports going the rounds mean
anything. Fritz" Heyman, the old
Washington and Jefferson star, is a
welcome addition to the West Vir-
gInia coaching fraternity and that no
will rejuyenate the game at Bethany
is almost certain. Good material has
always been available at Bethany,
but no school in the state suffers so
much through inferior and made
Quatc coaching.
Davis and Elkins ran next to Wes-
lcyan and West Virginia University
in the state last year and its second
year under Mullnex should be even
better. Good material Is just begin
ming to be the rule rather than the
exception at Davis and Elkins and
all its supporters are expecting it TO
test Weseyans strength when the
two fire the opening gun in the state

not meet West Virginia University

Versty meets no other state school
except Wesleyan, but the Methodists
