MAKES A GREAT
LABOR DAY Y
ADDRESS
A. L. Millington, Presiding,
Asks Every American to
do His Duty

A. L. Wilmington, formerly of this
citv. and one Of the popular N. o.
G. N. conductors, acting chairman
aoi the big meeting at Pearl River on
Labor Day last Monday, delivered
the following splendid address:
Fellow countrymen and country
women, In addressing you thus |
mean fellow Americans, we are here
today to celebrate Labor Day-a legal
holiday-made SO by an act of Con-
gress, and the only legal holiday
made so by an act of Congress
through the influence brought to bear
upon it by the American Laborer.
Please take notice of that one word
I Just used, american" You don't
have to be born in America to be
an American" How true that is,
is best told by the numberless men
of foreign birth who are today guild
ing the destinies of our Nations
here and over there.
What matters it where one is
born? The place of birth is but r
accident. Men do not measure ones
relations arc position in this world
BY his place of birth. We nave our
good men of foreign birth as well
as of American birth. Should we
visit our States and Federal prisons,
we would find them filed with men
Of American birth-they would be
there just tie same had they been
of foreign birth.
The Kaiser would have been the
Kaiser had he been born in Prussia,
Saxony, Bavaria or some other coun-
try.
We have in this country men who
can trace their ancestry back to our
puritan forefathers who are at this
very hour dIsloyal TO our country in
its dire need; and " have men born
aye, even from tirmany, who have
not yet had full opportunity to OBJ
tain their citizenship papers, and
who have come. from across the seas,
who are regarded in the eyes of the
law as alien enemies, but who never
theless, are % loyal and hopeful for
Americas success as it the President

SHIPS ENEMY GAVE UP MAY BE SUNK
AMERICAN DELEGATES TO OP- POSE DlSTRlBUTION OF SUR- RENDERED WAR CRAFT-WAR NOT BASED ON AGGRESSION.

Paris. Dec 18.-The American del egates to the peace conference have resolved to advocate the sinking of the surrendered enemy warships and to resist any proposition to distribute them on the basis of naval losses. This announcement is made by those In close touch with the American rep resentatives who, it is said, feel that such a proposition would result in avoiding contention and materially support President Wilson's declara- uon that the war was not based on aggression or the acquisition of prop erty.
 England, through Sir Eric Geddes flrst lord of the Admiralty, had pre- viously acquiesced in the American plan to destroy the captured or sur. rendered warships, and. it is said VIII continue to support the United states, although it is expected that some of the lesser naval powers will demand that the prizes be distributed

 'T have been working on new planes-the Liberty-for two and half months, but am now overhauling old rotary motors. I was in the ma chine gun department of the Lfber- ties, putting two guns on the front which shoot through the propellers.
 'I will tell you a few things about my trip coming over. We were sew enteen days on the boat. We left New York on July 15. at four o'clock in the afternoon. Went up to Hali- fax, N.

We were chased by subs and went away north up. the coast of Greenland, seeing icebergs There were twenty-seven boats in our convoy, besides the bat tleship and destroyers. There were a few U. s. late type destroyers and they gave the subs h-l. We were on the Saxonia, the largest Cunard liner.

PEANUT MEAL EXCELLENT
 SUBSTITUTE FOR TANkAGE

Fayetteville, Dec 16.-The compar- ative value of peanut meal and velvet bean meal as substitutes for tankage in the fattening of swine is dicsucced in circular just issued by the Agri- cultural Experiment Station of the University of Arkansas. The circu- lar is based on tests made with three different lots of shoats. The hogs in the second test. exhibited at the National Swine Show at Cedar Rap ids, topped the market at $18.70 per hundred and showed not only the re- suits of the feeding tests but also what can be done in the improve ment of hogs by the use of pure bred boars.
 "The south has an excellent substi- tute for tankage in peanut meal, ," says the circular With the increas- ing production of peanuts, liberal supply should be available. Velvet bean meal cannot be considered a success as a supplement to corn for fattening swine, especially when hand fed. When self-fed free choice, it is not consumed in large enough quan' titles to effect much economy. The velvet is perhaps at it's best as a hog feed in the green stage, when hogged down with corn"

JESSE FITZGERALD IS
 ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
SHOT IN STOMACH MONDAY NIGHT BY OSCAR CROUCH, WHO WAS HANDLING A RE- VOIVER.

On Monday night of this week about seven-thirty o'clock, Jesse Fitzgerald, son of MT. and Mrs. l.. o. Fitzgerald, who recently moved from Marianna to Little Rock, was acci- dentally killed when he was struck l, in the pit of the stomach by ball fired from an Owl Head revolver in the hands of Oscar Crouch. Young Fitzgerald lived until two o'clock Tuesday morning. The tragedy oc. cured at the foot of the stairway leading to the quarters over the De- Spain cafe, now occupied by w. Ii.
 Barker. Fitzgerald came here from Little Rock to spend several days hunting. He and his friend, Oscar Crouch, had been out on Monday. They had the revolver with them and on Monday night when they met in front of the cafe Fitzgerald, who at that time had the weapon, gave it back to Crouch to whom it be. longed. He remarked, in handing him the gun, that the spring to the trigger was out of shape. Crouch took the gun and was trying to as- certain what was wrong with it when the weapon was discharged.
 The ball, fired at close range, enter ed Fitzgerald's stomach and lodged in his intestines. The wounded lad was carried to Dr. Beans office where he was given medical atten- tion. Later he was removed to the home of Mrs Crouch where he died
 at two o'clock the following morning.
 MT and Mrs. Fitzgerald and dau- ghter, Miss Charmanice, of Little
 Rock reached Marianna on Tues day and on Wednesday they took the remains of their son and brother to Jackson, Tenn, their former home for interment In addition to MT. and Mrs. Fitzgerald and his sister, young Fitzgerald is survived by two brothers, one residing in Mississippi, and the other, Roscoe Fitzgerald, is with the American army in France.
