PLANES MAY SOON
PASS over DAWSON
MACHINES MADE IN WEST TO
FLY EASTWARD AND BE SENT
OVER WATER IN SHIPS.

1t may be that before long we will
see fiocks of strange looking birds
passing eastward over our heads, but
we need not get excited if we do, be-
cause the mysterious objects will on
ly be airships going to seaports to
be sent to the battle lines.
The following from an Atlanta pa
per will explain why it is possible
people of Terrell county may get a
chance to see the planes:
American aeroplanes soon will be
flying from the midwest, where they
were made, to Atlantic embarkation
ports for shipment to the Western
battle front in France.
To prepare the public the secretary
of war has issued instructions as to
the behavior of the civilian popula-
ton in the presence of military aerial
activity.
The point most emphasized is that
the public must keep away from any
military aeroplane forced to descend.
After the aviator has been extricated
in case of accident the protection of
the machine is given over to the sol
diery or the police.

SEABOARD WOULD FURTHER
CURTAL PASSENGER SERVICE

Says 1t Has Thousands of Loaded
Cars That Can't Be Moved Be-
cause of Lack of Motive Power.
The Seaboard Air Line and certain
other railroads of Georgia are con-
templating another petition before
the state railroad commission for the
further curtailment of passenger ser
vice in order to release motive power
for the movement of freight.
The Seaboard, it is claimed, has
some 600 loaded cars at Tucker
which cannot be moved fast enough
to relieve congestion very materially,
because of lack of sufficient motive
power. Tucker, North Decatur and
Montreal are used by the Seaboard
as breakup yards where assorted
shipments are brought in and classed
out over night, these yards being
used largely because of the conges-
ton in the Atlanta yards. The Sea
board, it is stated, has 500 loaded
cars at Birmingham in the same sit
uation, while the same road has 49,
600 loaded cars at Newport News
awaiting bottoms.

HIGHER PRICES UNTIL
1920 BANKER SAYS
LIVING COST CHANGES BY CY.
Giles, EMINENT FINANCIER
DECLARES in ADDRESS.

NEW YORK.-"When Will the
Price Break Gomez" was discussed
here before 100 members of the Ad-
vertising Club by Saunders Novel;,
general manager of big corporation
Prof. Edwin R. A. Seligman, of CO.
lumbia, and Theodore E. Burton,
bank president.
Prices will continue strong, Mr..
Novel; said, until peace is definitely
in sight. Then spectators, and even
perhaps investors, will lose their
nerve, and we may expect a serious
drop. This drop, however, will be
based merely on psychology" and
not on ''real facts" he said.
Professor Seligman pointed out
that prices and prosperity in this
country went up and down in cycles,
and that we were now in what would
have been, even without the war, a
period of rising prices.
Cycical depressions will never be
so great in the future as in the past,
former Senator Burton said, because
better business methods, greater
knowledge and far-sighted laws en-
able US to cope with such situations.
Every twenty-three or twenty-four
years, however, prices in the United
States seem to change for better or
worse. High prices should take a
downward turn in 1920, he said.

and to keep the loan distributed
among the masses of the people.
Other Attractive Features.
One attractive feature about the
whole proposition is that with ten
days notice the war savings stamp
can be cashed at any postofice at any
time, at face value and accrued in
terest.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note the psychology of thrift. It
has been found in Great Britain, af-
ter a campaign on lines somewhat
similar to this, that the deposits in
savings banks have actually increas-
ed. People get the savings habit
and it really does become habit.
In this way the banks do not suf-
fer, while the government profits
very greatly.
1t is high time we stimulated the
habit of thrift among our own peo-
pie. In this country statistics show
that only lis persons out of 1000
have savings bank account. In Eu-
rope the ratio is $50 out of thou
sand.
On every possible ground, there
fore, this savings campaign is to be
commended.

Early Morning Near Oglethorpe.
j. M. Blalock, of Atlanta, and a
negro, whose name is not known,
sustained painful injuries Thursday
morning when a Central of Georgia
passenger train, due in Dawson at
$50 o'clock, was rocked by vandals
near Oglethorpe. Mr.. Blalock was
asleep in seat near window
through which one of the stones came
and was cut by bit of flying glass
which. made a deep cash near the
temple, infiicting a wound that neces-
STATED attention by a physician.
The negro was cut about the throat
by another piece of glass but not dan
gerously hurt. The missile thrown in
to the ear was obtained by Mr.. Bla-
lock and is now in his possession.

spot. No one was hurt, however.
Special agents of the Central and

an investigation, and hope to appre-

WILL PUSH The WAR
SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE
DISTRICT CHAIRMAN PICKETT
WILL ORGANIZE EACH COUN-
TY FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

Hon. D. c. Pickett, chairman in
the Third congressional district for
pushing the sale of the war savings
stamps, is already at work, and is
making preparations to take the cam
paign into each county. A chairman
will be appointed in each of the fif-
teen counties of the district, and it
is Mr.. Pickett's purpose to visit ev-
cry county and personally present
the matter to the people. He has al
ready appeared before both white
and negro Baptist and Methodist
Sunday schools in Dawson and ad-
dressed them in behalf of the move
ment He especially emphasized the
wisdom and Importance of children
buying the stamps.
Like the liberty loan drive, this
enterprise is one in which you are
not called upon to donate anything,
but on the contrary are invited to
make a safe and sound investment.
The government simply gives you a
chance to cultivate habits of thrift by
saving little at time and lending
it to Uncle Sam at a per cent. in
terest.
1t is hoped to raise $4,000, 100000
by this war savings campaign. 1t is
to be popular in the true sense of the
word. You may lend as little as
twenty-five cents, and the largest
amount you can lend at any one
time is 500, while no one person is
allowed to own more than $1,000 of
savings certificates. That the loan
will thereby be distributed general
ly throughout the whole body of the
people goes without saying.
How 1t Is Done.
When you pay in your first twenty
five cents-if you wish to start on
this modest basis-you get a Thrift
Card, on which there is room for this
and fifteen other thrift stamps. When
the card is filled with "a worth of
stamps this is taken to the postoffice
or the bank, or whatever may be the
designated war savings agency, and
exchanged for a war savings certifi-
cate stamp.
If this exchange is made this
month, the purchaser has to pay -
cents, his war savings stamp thus
costing him in all SAP. If the ex-
change is made in February the
stamp will cost $4.13 and in March
$4.14, and so on, for the reason that
the stamps are earning interest. On
January /, 1928, the government
promises to pay an even SIS for these
stamps.
When the first war savings stamp
is purchased, the buyer receives a
card on which to paste it, and this
card will hold twenty stamps These
twenty stamps will have cost, at the
present rate, $82.40, and the re-
demption value, five years hence will
be an even 500. The war savings
stamps when they are once attached
to war savings certificate are not
transferable This is intended to
prevent any one person from accu-
mulating a large number of them,
