GEORGIA'S RESOURCES
IN MOVING PICTURES
TO BE HERE SATURDAY.

Playing to more than capacity hous-
es at every point, the Big Georgia
Motion Picture, 5000 feet in length,
began its tour of Georgia on January
oath, and will be shown in Fitzgerald,
tomorrow.
The wonderful Georgia moving pic
ture takes two hours to run. 1t was
shown in Atlanta and drew twelve to
fourteen thousand people to the At
lanta auditorium, five thousand of
whom were turned away for lack of
even standing room in the great aud
itorium.
The picture is thrilling from start
to finish, and there is hardly ten min
utes passes that some scene does not
bring applause from the audience-an
unsual tribute one seldom paid to anv
motion picture.
Among the thri1lers in the picture
may be mentioned:
lst The sensational run of the Ma
con FIRE Department, dashing madly
through badly crowded streets. which
the police tried in vain to clear
Ind, Dangerous mine blast at Har-
ties mine near Gainesville, when the
man who sets the fuse, which proved
an unusually fast burner, barely lot
away in time to save MS life.
The picture has been builded with
an eye to entertain, as we'll as educate
and in securing some scenes, the oper-
ator had to prform dangerous feats.
all of which are shown and add to the
thrill which every few minutes audib1y
sweeps through the audience.
The Wonder of Georgia.
Few citizens of Georgia realize fully
the wonders, both natural and man
made, within the borders of their
state These are shown in striking
manner in this picture, which where
ever presented, has proven an eye-opA
ner even to native Georgians.
Remember:
No Georgia citizen can afford to
mss seeing this picture before il
leaves the state for its five year trip ov
er the nation. Profits from the pic
ture, received fro mits bookings in
Georgia will be used to defray the ,ex-
penses OF running the Georgia Motion
Picture in the North, East and West
to advertise the resources of Georgia.

Ford taught US many rousing college
songs, he worked with the football

Through the instrumetality of DR..

the student body virtual se1f-control.

body has been raised. Instead of one

STATE TO BEGIN
PAYING PENSIONS
CONFEDERATE VETERANS TO
GET SOME OF THEIR
MONEY THIS MONTH.

ATLANTA, February with the
payment Wednesday of $4,000 in
warrants for the University of
Georgia, the State Treasury begins to
find itself "on its feet" according to
State Treasurer Speer, following the
disbursement of more than $1,800,000
in settling he stchool debts of 1915,
the last lingering liabilities of the
last year were about scored off by the
payment to the University, which has
been seeking the settlement for some
time.
But the best news I have" con-
tinued Colonel Speer, SIS that we shall
begin payment of the Confederate
veterans pensions this month. We
hope to cancel the old soldiers
claims as. promptly as we did last
year, when we paid out $1,070,000 in
three installments, disbursed in the
latter part of February, during March
and in April, respectfully. Possibly
we can do even better this year"
Receipts for this February, now ar
irving in goo dshape, are putting us
back into good shape, and we have a
fair working balance on hand now.
We paid the 1915 school salaries this
year in January, while last year the
1914 debt hung over until February.
The State now is in excellent finan-
cial shape to meet all claims coming
upon it as they mature"

To the People of Georgia:

Whereas, One of the noblest means

Whereas, the first statewide "Geor-

day school attendance was greatly in
creased; and,
Whereas, in an effort to increase

School Day." and,
Whereas, the Sunday schools of all

ANOTHER FLYING DUTCHMAN
ALLIED SHIPS IN DANGER.

Washington February "A German
raider loose on the seas, with a known
record of seven enemy ships sunk and
another captured, at time when the
German naval flag was believed to
have been swept from the ocean ex-
cept for the submarines is the most
startling feature that attracts atten-
ton here to the capture of ne British
liner Appam and her daring dash
across the Atlantic to haven at
Hampton roads.
American naval officers, who have
not been reluctant to admire the ex-
ploits of German sailors, agree that
the cruise of the Appam and the opera
tons of the mysterious raider which
took her prisoner, deserve a place in
the naval history of the war beside
the consummate daring of the Emden,
the cruises of the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich and the Kronprintz Wilhelm, and
probably beside the untold story of
the Karlsruhe
While the mysterious raider remains
at liberty, avoiding the travelled lanes,
of taking refuge in unsailed waters
and picking off prize, when the
guarding lines of British cruisers are
not near, the allied shipping faces
new and unexpected danger.
The enterprise which armed the
raider and got her to sea when neu-
trality laws and British ships are sup
posed to be guarding against forays
on allied shipping is no less admired
among naval men that the exploits of
the shipherself. One theory advanc-
ed, although admittedly without any
knowledge of fact, is that the raider
might possibly have secured some of
her armament from the cruiser Karls-
ruhe, now missing many months and
variously reported sunk or wrecked.
The most plausible story thus far is
that the cruiser was wrecked some
where in the West Indies. Her crew
never has been accounted for and ma
val men have never believed all were
lost
1t is regarded as possible that at
least some of her light armament
might have been salvaged and to what
ship it might have been transferred
only time can tell. The fact that there
are four German merchant ships
named Moewe, and that the master of
one of them is named Berge lends col
or to the supposition that it might
have been one of those.
Within the last few months there
nameless ships slipping away from
South and Central American ports
with German crews. British secret
service agents, it is known, reported
to the embassy here the movements
of tramp steamers in American waters
which they regarded as suspicious,
Ships suspected of German ownership
have been watched and tramps clear
ing with questionable cargoes for
ports where trade is light have been
kept under the eyes of British agents
to avoid the equipment of just such
an elusive raider as took the Appam.
