WAR RELIC TRAIN
DREW LARGE CROWD
SOS, 900 Bonds Purchased in Little
More than Two Hours.

The War Relic tarin which stopped in
Welsh Sunday evening accomplished
its purpose with a vengeance. Fully
two thousand people were present to
view the exhibit, and the crowd would
have been very much larger had it
not been for rain in the afternoon
which kept many Of the country peo-
pie away.
The speeches of the army men and
civilians who came as an escort to the
train created an enthusiasm which,
coupled with the activities of the
six Welsh ladies in Red Cross uni
form who did effective soliciting, re-
suited in the sale of $4,000 worth
of bonds during the stay of the
train.
The exhibit of implements of war
fare was interesting though not
interesting though not cheerful
sights. Neither ancient nor modern
methods of human destruction leave
pleasant recollection in the minds of
those who view them.
Members of the party escorting the
exhibit were loud in their praise Of
the treatment accorded them here,
particularly as regarding the bond
subscription and the feed spread for
them at the Feed Well cafe, which
they said was the best meal they had
partaken Of within the State of
/ Louisiana.
Although scheduled to leave here
promptly at 9 o'clock the train did
not get away until 9:45.

EXPLAINS ABOUT
LOANS in WAR TIMES
THE DAWSON NATIONAL BANK
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT TO
PATRONS AS TO POLICY.

1t always has bcen-always will be
the aim and purpose of this bank
to render to its patrons the best pos
s1ble service, to meet every demand
made upon US consistent with good
business practice.
Wartime conditions, however, are
bringing unusual requirements upon
all banks, and we desire to explain
recent government requirement.
The government is calling upon the
banks of the nation to purchase the
certificates of Indebtedness now be-
ing issued in advance of the fourth
liberty loan. This, of necessity, must
draw heavily on the reserves of all
banks that are backing the govern
ment and the war.
Banks have therefore been request
ed to limit their loans to war time
essentials-for materials, labor, live
stock production, farming operations
and development, manufacturing of
necessities, etc, which play a definite
and direct part in winning the war.
All lines of business must, there
fore, fully understand the situation
and not make business plans reuuir-
ing loans for non-essentials. In re-
fuslng to make such loans this bank.
like all other loyal banks, will do its
duty and follow the rules laid down
by the government.
On all matters sanctioned by the
authorities at Washington we will
continue our usual course. We will
very willingly confer with you at any
time regarding your business affairs
and assist you in shaping them to
your own best interests.
Please consider US always at your
service.

The Harvester suit was instituted
by the government which for the first
time in the prosecution of alleged
combinations in restraint of trade

size and inherent power. The case is
the first of the more important anti
trust proceedings pending in the SUI
preme court to be disposed of in this
manner since this country entered the

STATE WAREHOUSE
MEASURE ENACTED
A GREAT DIFFERENCE OF OPIN.
ION AMONG MEMBERS AS TO
MERITS OF THE LAW.

By vote of 107 to 46 the house
passed the senate warehouse bill pro-
viding a state warehouse commission
that shall establish a system of one
or more warehouses in the various
counties of the state.
The bill is fashioned after the
warehouse law in South Carolina that
has been in operation for several
years. The system is to operate with
out cost to the state. The bill pro-
vldes for commission whose duty
it shall be to put into operation as
rapidly as possible a uniform ware
house system requiring competent
weighers and graders.
Mr., Anderson. of jenkins, stated
that the measure had been planned
after the South Carolina law which
he said had been so successfully
operated for years, and he thought
it would operate equally we'll in
Georgia.
Mr.. Landlord, of Toombs, said it
was a farmers bill, backed by the
Farmers Union, and he was for it.
Mr.. Ennis, of Baldwin, thought the
measure was too big in its scope for
the state to undertake.
Mr.. White, of Fulton, stated that
the people from Nickajack to Tybee
Light wanted a system of state ware
houses-it would be the greatest law
ever enacted in Georgia.
Quotes Congressman Lever.
Mr.. Pickett, of Terrell, said the bill
should be entitled GA Bill to Create
Endless Officers" He stated that
Congressman Lever, of South Carroll
ma, had stated that the warehouse
system in that state brought in 49,
100000 year revenue. He then read
a letter from Congressman Lever
stating that he knew nothing about
the system and had never made such
a statement to any one.
Mr.. Burkhalter, of Tattnall, oppos-
ed the measure on account of ex-
pense.
Mr.. Culpepper, of Meriwether, said
something could not be made out of
nothing-the bill was a mere subter-
fuge.
Mr.. Davidson, of Putnam, said it
would create 1000 officers and the
farmers would have to pay for it.
Mr.. Jones, of Coweta, said that the
measure contained no provision for
machinery to put the bill into opera
ton.
Mr.. Kidd, of Baker, declared the
bill was a wolf in sleeps clothing.
Mr.. Mock, of Dougherty, said no
farmer had any trouble under exist
ing conditions in getting all the mon
ey desired on warehouse receipts for
cotton. and that there is no need for
the bill.

the fine spirit of patriotism charac-

the Canadian troops before the Unit
