SICK FOLKS HUSTLE
FOR TIE RED CROSS

Through the National tuberculosis
Association anu the Journal Of the Out
door Life, it's Official magazine. a cam
paign is being organized to get turer-
cu!osis PATIENTS of the country to en-
list every fellow "cure chaser" as a
member Of the Red Cross during the
coming Red Gross Christmas Roll Call.
Special campaigns have been organ
lied in all OF the large Senatorial, of
which there are nearly 600 scattered
throughout the United States. Efforts
will be made to enroll one hundred
per cent. in each institution and also
to go after all patients and enroll
them as we'll. Every patient in the
sanatorium will be responsible to get
one more patient. The movement will
be contribution OF the tuberculos S
patients Of the country to the Red
Cross.
Since the National tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION and its affiliated agencies are
being supported by the Red Cross
through direct appropriation during
the year 1919, this effort Of the tuber-
culOss patients Is considered to be an
unusually appropriate one.

RED Gro 5 MAKES ONT:

~ NE of the greatest services which
the Red Cross is performing in
this war is the unification Of tie
many races Of which America is COM
posed through TIE Home Service.
which, through its 10000 committees,
is looking after the welfare of the SOL
diers' families in every corner OF the
country. America has always been
called the Melting Pot, and truly, but
the process has been slow. The war
has accelerated it. The Indians Of the
west, the negroes Of the so-:h, the ltal-
fans and Eastern Europeans of our in
dustrial centers. the Mex ans of tho
Southwest, Armenians and SWedes and
Norwegiai:s and Japanese and Iceland
erS.-all are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly in the
war because it was Americas war and
they are Americans.
That they feel this is patent to those
who have seen and talked with these
men. Witness the Italian, who in the
assembly hall Of one Of our mobiliZu
ton camps was waiting with group
Of his fellows to take the oath Of al
lsgiance. He stepped forward sudden
ly with tears in his eyes and with a
vivid gesture pressed a corner Of the
American flag that hung over the desk
in front Of him to his lips. A group of
native born soldiers who had been
looking on with amused indifference
broke into applause and cheers From
then on these Italians were their
brother Americans
Such work as this is valuable not
only for the morale of the men it is
binding the nation into one organic
whole as it has never been bound be-
fore. To give concrete expression tc
this unity the Red Cross plans througl,
its Christmas Roll Call, to be held tbs
week beginning December l6, 10 III
crease its membership from $1,000,
600 to the limit Of available member
ship. 1t wishes to give in this way no.
tice to the world that every American,
irrespective Of creed or birth, stands
squarely and Vncompromising,, Tor i
principles for which we have been
fighting-that America is one and in

WHY AMERICA NEEDS
CHRISTIANS BOIL CALL.

George E. Scott general manager
of the American Red Cross, thus ex-
plains the necessity for the Christmas
Roll Call:
1.-THE response that the people of the
United States make when the Christ
mas Roll Call summons them to uni
versal membership in the American
Red Cross will, If that response is ma
ton wide, accomplish these things:
''It will give exalted purpose and
high resolve to the Soldiers and Sail
ors of America.
ut will give encouragement and re-
newed devotion to t:.Gse who are work
ing here at home.
ut will give inspiration and courage
to those of Our people who are labor
ing overseas"

HAMPSHIRE SALE
HERE JANUARY rs

The Leader-Enterprise Is highly
gratifed over the success o. its cam
paign for the past three years to
make Ben Hill the Hampshire county
OF Georgia. Already the county is
becoming recognized by breeders of
thoroughbred Hampshires in this and
other states and the fact that The Dix
lie Stock farm and the Hereford
Hampshire farms, both extensive
breeders of this noted breed OF hogs,
are putting ON this sale of register
ed stock, most of them bred in the
county, places Ben Hill county in the
foremost rank of Hampshire breed
ers. Another year and there'll
not be far min this county not
able to show some thoroughbred
Hampshires in their herds of swine
and buyers of breeding stock from
abroad will begin to make Ben Hill
county their visits, as our Georgia
buyers now visit Kentucky. Indiana
and Missouri stock farms. The
neighboring' farmers especially should
make January 18th great day, long
to be remembered by attending this
sale in large numbers and make of
the day All epoch marking period for
the greater development of the hog
industry in the county.

Mr.. Ford To Select
Site For Plant In
South Very Soon

Washington, Jan. IA big New
Years surprise for the South was
announced here today when it be-
came known that within the next ten
days, in all probability, the site for
the selection of one OF the largest
shipbuilding plants in the world will
be selected by Henry Ford, the plan $
chief promoter, with the assistance
OF Chairman Hurley of the United
States Shipping Board and score
OF expert steel men and a ship-build-
ers
From a brief announcement of what
was made few days ago, it is al
most certain that one of the follow
ing localities will be chosen: Char
lesion, Savannah, Brunswick, Jack
sonville, Fernandina, Tampa or Pen
sacola.
Inspection of sites will begin i'm
mediately and, although Fords
friends here today were not prepared
to make public their itinerary of
Southern cities to be visited, it was
stated that practically all plans had
been agreed upon at conference be-
tweY n. Ford and the Government
antA des, and that all that is lack
ing is an available site. 1t was ex-
planned, however, that there would be
no long delays in the matter and no
red tape, Ford is ready to begin
building the steel ships as soon as he
can get the land. He says be can
turn out dozen ships day and that
the pay roll would be the largest
winch anyone in any section of the
United States has ever seen. His
head man alone receives a salary of
$4o,0OO year, and having already
perfected all plans down to the small
est details for using the ships. there
will be absolutely no delay. AL
though these ships will be of steel.
there must be millions of feet of
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina
lumber which will find a use in their
construction and this feature alone
VIII mean that much money will be
spent in these three states alone in
her purchases.

ALLIES TO REPLY TO
GERMAN PEACE NOTE

Washington. Jan. l.-Insidious eff
forts OF the Germans to involve the
United States and the Entente allies
in the peace negotiations proceeding
with the Russian Bolsheviki have de-
veloped to such stage that in the
opinion of some officials here notice
of the propaganda must be taken and
an attempt made to neutralize it.
If the British and French premiers
are to meet at Paris with the purpose
of discussing ACCESSIBILITY of receiving
and answering the proposals of the
Bolsheviki to participate in the nego-
tiatlons, as has been reported by a
leading conservative British newspa-
per, they will act in accord with the
agreement rigidly adhered to by all
the Entente allies until the detection
of Russia not to entertain any peace
proposals from the enemy without
consultation with each other In Dip
lomatic circles here today it was said
that any decision from such a meet
ing would be promptly laid before
the American State department. Ger
many is believed to be prepared to
offer almost any conceivable bait to
drive wedge into the Allies and
cause its disruption, and having sue
ceeded measurably with Russia, is
trying to get that nation to influence
her late allies.
Rumors that have existed for the
past fortnight to the effect that an
other peace proposal was about to be
launched by the Central Powers
either through the vatican or some
neutral state, are believed to have

COUNCIL CLOSES
YEARS BUSINESS

The council meeting Monday night
developed into regular love feast,
after the disposal OF the current ac-
counts and the adoption of the final
report for the year OF the heads of
the various departments. Mayor
Drew w. Paulk, i'll taking leave from
the 1917 council briefly reviewed his
administrative acts and in we'll cho-
sen words thanked the members OF
his council for the generous cooper
alton given him during the year. City
Clerk David l.. Paulll came in for a
good share of we'll deserved praise
tor his efficient services rendered
the city, which were later concurred
IN by every member Of the council
present. Mayor Paulk also threw
a few bouquets at the police and FIRE
department. Aldermen Brewer, Girl
ner. Pittman. Dorminey Mccall and
lsler and Lee expressed for them
selves their appreciation of the May
or's part i'll giving the city a bust
ness administration. Judge T. J..
Luke administered the oath of Office
to the new aldermen-elect: J. J. Dor
miney, Earl Brown, D. F. Griffin and
Aubrey Culbertson, as we'll as the
newly elected members of the Board
of Education, Rev. r. NJ. Mann, pres
ident; J. l.. Pittman, c. A. Fretwell.
6. H. Jolley and R. ]. Prentss After
the adjournment of the meeting the
newly elected Mayor and the Council
for 1918 held caucus to nominate
members of the police and fire de-
partment, street commissioner,
health officer, clerk. etc The caucus
proceedings were secret and will be
so until the regular meeting of the
new council on next Monday night.

their foundation in the adroit attempt
OF the German negotiations to use
the Russian delegates for that pur-
pose. But i'll either case, if there is
to be another peace proposal through
those channels, or il the Russian nc
gotiations are to be made the vehicle
to carry forward the German designs.
1t is believed in some quarters here
the time is ripe now for strong and
well-considered declaration by the
Entente powers and America that will
effectively anticipate and counter this
attack. 1t has been pointed out by
State department officials that Presi-
dent Wilson already has twice an
nounced Americas war aims in un-
equivocal terms. Therefore it is as
sumed that if Lloyd George and
Georges Clemenceau, after consulting
the spokesman of the Allies, decide
that reply shall be made to the
German proposals., that reply must
take some other form than an address
by the American chief executive.
Sign of German Weakening?
General staff officers are understood
to attach great significance to the
present attempt Of the Central Pow
ers to force the Entente into peace
negotiations. To their mind it is a
clear indication that the German mil
ltary leaders have accomplished all
that they feel capable of doing in the
field. They can "hold on" for long
time yet.~it is suggested, but they
cannot extend fields of occupation
without an enormous loss Of men and
time at the risk OF terrible defeat.
