MOVEMENT HERE. ~s
Local Body Observation-Disclosures by

Local Body OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by
Governor Bickett-LocaI Officers.
A mass meeting was held last Sun
day in the Jewish synagogue, address
ed by Miss Ethel Greenberg of Dur
ham, who attended the Jewish Con
gress, as a delegate, in Philadelphia,
last December. At this Congress
resolutions we're adopted bearing
upon the establishment of a Jewish
state in Palestine and fixing the
equality of the Jews in all parts of
the world. At present the United
States is the only country in the
world in which the Jewish people are
accorded absolute equality in every
respect. There are something like
100000 Jews in Russia, and out Of
that number only 100000 have. the
same rights as citizens of Russian
blood.
Miss Greenberg spoke on Zionism
or Jewish National policy and urged
her hearers to petition President Will
son to use his influence in the peace
conference for. the establishment of
Jewish nationality in Palestine and
the fixing of the political status of the
Jews. The speaker had messages from
Governor Beckett and President Will
son endorsing her cause. Miss Green
berg is a woman of great culture and
intellect and made quite an impress
sion with her audience. She has been
selected to speak for this cause in the
various schools and colleges of the
South.
All Jews in the city over IS years
OF age have registered in the Zionist
ranks and become members of the
Zionist organizations of America. A
district board was established COM
posed of the following: Israel Jasper,
president; Dora Gordon. vice pres1-
dent: Celia London, secretary: and
Ida Harris, treasurer. A special COM
mittee was appointed to look after the
Palestine restoration fund. The follow
ing we're appointed: Harry Fine, Ti1da
Silver, Ida Harris, Celia London and
Israel Jasper.

Bill introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf--The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South--Will SpenS Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol
d1ers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light a con-
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of illi1erates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena-
tor Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, has intro
duced bill in the Senate "to promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per
sons of foreign BIRTH" and the came
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
OF Alabama.
The Introduction of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of it's negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne
reputation for Hliteracy out of proper
ton to that of the rest of the coun-
try. Just what steps will be immedi-
ately taken as the result Of the passage
of the education of illiterateg bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas
;ures will be put into operation for ths
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that of
the government are at work on the
same problen-the establishment of
schools in the heart of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being a
matter of first Importance with all OF
of the times in this CON
nection is that OF the Centenary of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years oyer
s., 100000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise a fund
Of $35, 100000 in an eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being
part Of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work OF the church on a business
basis, the. church considering its duty
% the iI1iterates here in America to be
among the matters of first Importance
which it should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result Of the
will be the apportionment of
s3, 900, 900 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
1lation, $75O,Oo0; immigrant, 100000;
negroes, $500,O00; Indians, $50 600;
cotton mill population, $150.0OO; Chris
lar literature for all Of them, 100000.
With the definite step undertaken
It Washington, with one denomination
llready completing its plans for fur
herring the work among them, and
With other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf, it is more than possible that
he fIliterates OF the South are-in
air way to soon become educated citi-
,ens of the United States.

70 BEGIN DRILLING NEAR
ASHLAND AT EARLY DATE

Mr.. NJ. W. Fields, a prominent citi-
zen Of Ward I, was in Arcadia Wednes-
day afternoon and stated that the
Planters Oil and Mineral Co., have
made their location and have their
derrick up and have their heavy ma
chinery set and are only waiting the
arrival Of some Of their piping to be-
gin drilling. The well Is on the Ayers
tract and will be known as Aver No.
1. The location Of the we'll is one
and a half miles east of Ashland. He
states that the geOligist who made the
location states that the surface indi.
cations are as good as he ever saw,
and that IL surface indications amount
to anything the company is sure to
find oil. The Planters OIL and Min.
eral Go. is composed Of farmers anC
land owners, many Of whom have ex'
changed the lease Of their land for
stock in the company. According to
Mr.. Fields the company already has
sufficient funds paid in to drill two
wells. He states that leasing Is very
active In that section.

JUST ONE OF MANY
REPORTS SAY THAT RECENT
RAINS INJURE COTTON CROPS

1t is reported from many sections Of
the parish that the excessive rains
which have fallen during the past ten
days have tended to injure the cotton
crop to a great extent. 1t is, stated
that the weevil has taken advantage OF
the wet spell and that III many in
stances farmers have found SIX to
eight stalks in succession without a
single boil. We understand that cat,
terpillars are beginning to appear III
some sections.
Corn is as good as could be desired
and there is a good prospect Of a good
potato crop as well.

OIL DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES

Interest in the oil situation here
continues, and leasing is brisk in all
sections Of the parish. Rapid pro
gress is being made by the drlllers on
Mcclure No. l, located just south Of
town, and at the last report they vert
down probably 500 feet. The Rinsgold
Oil and Gas Co., is also making good
Roadway on their well. 10 inch cas-
ings arc being set in some Of tlh
other wells being drilled in the. par
ish.
We understand that drilling ha'
ceased In the Heflin, Webster parish
well until heavier rig can be obtain
cd. Good showings Of oil have beer
found there. In some sections where
land has been leasing for $1.0W pei
acre the rate is now $500 to 5000
per acre.
Drillers have reached a considerable,
depth OH the Woodland Well, near Tay
lor and the showing is quite favorable

WHY IS THE AVERAGE MAN
NOT FIT TO FIGHT AT so?

These are a few Of the reasons:
Bcause he has let into his blood
stream the deadly infection Of syphilis
and gonorrhoea.
Because he allows >the 400 muscles
Of his body to become flabby.
Because he chews little hard food,
substitutes the knife and fork for his
teeth in preparing food for his stom-
lch, acquires Indigestion. and debilitat'
ed or infected gums.
Because he has harbored infection in
his body, in the tooth sockets, tonsils
or head cavities. =
Because he selects his food with less
care than for his horse or for his hog.
Because he pampers Ills skin and I'M:
pairs Its protective value.
Because he does not cooperate with
his intestinal canal, but adds 1t to the
other collection of flahby muscles and
then whips 1t with purgatives.
| Because he thereby accunulatcs
pOisors and bacteria that attack and
weaken his other organs.
Because he thinks he can beat this
game by taking patent medicines.
| Because he CANDLES OIL the time
when he thinks 1t is safe to 50 to u
doctor.
| Because too often his idea Of having
la good time is to cut out bis sleep
ALLOWANCE and take poison.
i Because he is blind to the healthful,
|eoslstruaiyee fascinating enjoyments on
Ieyery side Of him In this %onleffal
world,
Because he accumulates grouches, en-
|yies, fears and discomfort until bis
nervous system Is tangled up like y
!. Ford when 1t has collided with an
!. automobile.
j Because he thinks that physical ex.
Examinations are all nonsense, that It Is
eIbetter to remain In ignorance Of hia
body and Its needs, simply paying the
!. doctor or the undertaken when the
wreck comes.
ell Because he would rather take the
! tadyice Of an "optimist" who tells him
Ito ''forget It, than the advice Of
man who tells him to search the ma
! chienry and mend 1t or care for 1t Il
{ defective, and then be Mtelligently
a optimistic on the facts.
