ing OF his wits with those of the

Everything was marked with let

Standards of conducting business
have changed greatly the last
few years. Plain figures are
used on the merchandise Of most
all stores and there is one price
to everybody.
The ethical standards recognized
in all lines OF business are be-

As the late Ebert Hubbard put It:
There is growing up in America
a religion in business The re-
ligion Is now and here It re-

big part in the business of the

FITZGERALD NEGRO WOMAN
PINES FOR OLD GEoRGY"

That many of the negroes who have.
gone North in the past several months
have failed to find working conditions
as bright and rosy as pictured to them
by the oily-tongued emigration agents
is conclusively proven by the case OF
Julia Miller, Fitzgerald negro wo-
man who left this county several
months ago, bound for Philadelphia.
Julia had worked around Fitzgerald
for several years and was considered
a trustworthy woman by all her en-
ployers, but she heard too much about
the high wages and superior living
conditions which existed up Norff,"
and she decided that it was time to
emigrate.

ccived a special delivery letter from
the woman asking that ticket be sent

sible, and said she would make it all

U. s. DESTROYER
RAMS AND SINKS
GERMAN U-BOAT

American Naval Base in Great
Britain, June 2l-A German subnla-
rine has been rammed and sunk by
United States destroyer, according to
belief expressed here today by MEM
Der of the crew of the warship, which
put into port today.
A feature of the incident was that
the American bluejacket who sighted
and reported the U-boat is the son OF
German parents.
The destroyer was proceeding
through calm sea when periscope
was sighted. The submarine began
to. submerge, but before she disap-
peared entirely the destroyer was all
most on top of her
All hands rushed to the rail- Sud-
denly there was cry from the Ger
man-born sailor: There she is.
The American warship was so close
upon the U-boat that her guns could
not be used, SO the commander swung
his ship about and those on deck say
they felt a perceptible shock of col
lision.
This is the first German submarine
that the American destroyers claim
to have destroyed.
