Motor Department:-What is the
meaning of a direct drive and an
indirect drive and an internal drive
gear? X T.
Direct drive on a selective slidins
gear-set is where the clutch shaft
and the spine shaft are locked to-.
sether on third speed. This drives
directly through the gear-set without
using countershaft or gears. Inter
nal drive gear is used on rear wheels
of trucks. II consists of an inter
nal gear fastened 10 each wheel.
The driving axles, instead of being
at the hubs of the wheels, are pro
vided with pinions which drive the
internal gears.

have taught this member of the col
oreG race something of the soc al
obligations of one human being to-
wards another. AS he stands NOW
condemned to death, he certainly does
not know much of that obligation.
The time to change this is in school
days. We certainly have a sufficient.
ly large negro element that desires
maintenance of law and the enforce
ment of the social obligation to lend
considerable assistance.
The negpo is worth good citizen

with lawless ignoPnt brute. And
while he lives among white people
where a good example is always 10 be
found for better living, no one should
condemn the negro for wanting a
school for himself and his young.
lie is right in this respect and he
ought 10 have every encouragement.
Schooling will keep him out of the
way of the lynchers and will help
him to learn to avoid things which
making lynchin necessary, and at the
same time schooling will help keep
him out of Jail. Crime does not
thrive in community of churches
and schools. This assertion is true
of all races OF mankind.

HELPING THE NEGRO.

Out in Louisiana where negroes are
even as large an element OF popula
ton as in Georgia one of the news
papers boasts of an orderly, law
abiding colored portion. The st
Landry Clarion says this:
st. Landry's colored popula-
ton, compared with other sec
tons of the South. is head and
shoulders above them all. Tie
lawlessness once rampant has
almost disappeared. The race
in St Landry has dropped oat
of the criminal class and gone
to work to hew for itself place
in the line of industry and en-
lightenment. Within the past
ten or fifteen years the cciored
people have progressed wonder
fully in emerging from the tolls
of illiteracy. Their schools and
churches have undoubtedly had
much to do with this great
change for the better"
This paper points out how the white
people gain from the educaSOnal bet
termant of the negroes as follows:
THE criminal expense OF the
parish will drop to infinitesimal
figures compared with the here
tafore tremendous drain OF fl
nances 10 enforce the law"
There is always somebody ready Il
claim that the negro is worse whel
given his schooling than when he il
left alone That is not the case
however. Crisp county jail holds s
negro today condemned to death be
cause of a double murder in his owl
family, and there was never a better

J. A. LlTTLEJoHN

Wien his friends in the church of
his choice gather Sunday night to pay
tribute to their brother, j. A. Little
! john, none of them will be able to
/ say anything more fitting than that
according TO his means, he invested
as much in the industrial and moral
development of his community as any
other man here. This was the tribute
j of his pastor, a sort of first impress
sion that came with the profound
shock that always accompanies news
OF the death of good man. 1t was a
simple truth, plainly put, but how il
speaks for the mans years of toll and
struggle! How it blooms ever fra
grant with the pure and ennobling
uplift one gets from knowing
Uncle Joe" Littlejohn was a good
man!
While he was with us. everybody
looked upon him and passed him
every day with no thought of any
thing but that he was just an aver
age man He could smile, enjoy a joke
/, and pass the time pleasantly down to
his last moment. He was obliging,
kind, consderate, faithful to the
charge of the public, saying naught
of others, and indeed few people
knew that he had enemies. He did not
complain of their treatment, nor did
he fret when they aimed at him the
s. meanness that mankind is heir to.
He was wise man in his mature
years,-wiser than the man of the
every day world ever thought He read
and gave thought to what he read
For that habit lie enjoyed the distinc
ton of being we'll abreast of the times
His opinion was worth something to
the young man he saw making an
homes effort And that custom makes
S the young man who was fortunate
enough to be within the range of his
friendships carry a burden of sor
row now that he is gone.
He left with us, too, sort of i'm.
lpression somehow that he knew il
his older days his time was near and
yet accepted it with a gracious sort
of philosophy,-more than that. an
mistaken faith in his Creator as re
ivealed in the christian religion. He
must have been happy in the day.
when he knew he would soon be
crossing the bar" We cannot be
lieve that he did not find things he
could wish were better. He would NOT
have been a good man, had that NOT
been the case but one felt in think
ing of him that he enjoyed close
communion with his Maker
He will be missed long years to
come, but he so lived that the bless
ed thought ever remains: his will be
the just reward of a good man.

fight and sent two millions of them
across we pledged then that we
would do our part if they would
stand to the trenches with the enemy
and have it out where they first met
the Germans. Those men went with
the full understanding that this
pledge was going to be kept They
went with full assurance from us
that it was going to be kept and we
meant it,
AS for the men who werR over, no
word of complaint could ever be made
as to their having lived up to their
pledge. They fought like no men ar
rayed in battle ever fought. They won!
They did it year sooner than ever
we thought they would, and our men
kept the faith!
There is not a man back here who
would not divide his meal and his
clothes and wear his old one longer,
or even go hungry if IT takes it to
carry out our part of that agreement
The man who lodges the Victory Loan
will have to hang his head when the
boys come home. If he is a Stacker
now, so far as the good he is doing
he might have been a Stacker then
The job is not finished and will not
be till our armies are back home,
The Victory Loan is necessity just
as much as any of them, else the gov
erment would not have asked for it. 1t
is our duty to stand squarely up to
every obligation and The Dispatch
believes with hundreds 9 others that
we are going to keep that pledge to
the letter
One of the best evidences of this
claim comes from Vienna Here is an
editorial reference taken from today's
Macon Telegraph which is encourag
ing:
Dooly county through its Vienna
district has given startling and
emphatic answer Ia the fearful
crookers who have been predict
ing the Victory Laon will fall
down In one meeting, not overly
well attended. the Vienna district
subscribed 40,5O0 out of quota
of something over $4,000. The
total time consumed was little
over an hour. This is twice as
much as any district in the coun-
ty has subscribed in an initial
meeting in any of the previoua
Loan drives. =,
This is going to be the quickest
and easiest of all our Loan drives
if we go about it from the right
angle. Mr. Glass is right when he
said their patriotism is still the
most powerful emotion of the
American people in their relation
to matters of public concern.

relief, get a box of Ghloids right

hurt you because they cannot.
iCaloids are made simply from a
very small amount of calomel, com
bined with other medicines in just
the right proportions to give you the
best aad most satisfactory results
without the least noticeable effects
from the calomel in them. You never
know the calomel n there, and yet
you get the same cleansing process
which calomel is designed to give.
They keep the liver wa hg perfect
ly, and yet you experieMee none of
the discomforts caused by the cal
or1el dose.
