Newport Welcomes Returned Soldier,

Newport gave a royal welcome to
the returned soldiers of that vicinity
in the form of supper, dance and
platform services last night. This
celebration had been put off until now
for the reason that the people of
Newport wanted to wait until every
soldier had come home to enjoy it.

the main road between Elkton and

much to the delight of automobile

May Have Hospital At Dover

The establishment of a hospital at
Dover may be one of the lasting re-
suits of the activities of the Woman's
Committee for Child Welfare in Kent
county.
The physicians have been of great
help in the baby-saving work. The
need for a hospital has become so
impressed upon the leading citizens OF
the down State county, that it is
highly probable that some definite
step will be taken towards such &
project before long.

BAPTISTS GATHER AT
MACON NOV. 1920
1T is ESTIMATED THAT FOUR
THOUSAND DELEGATES WILL
BE IN ATTENDANCE

The Georgia Baptist Convention
meets in Macon November 1920 for
the most significant session in its long
history. The meeting in Macon in
November will mark a new day in the
work of the enlarged program
brought about in the Baptist rs mill
lion campaign.
Macon has already realized the
problem of taking care of the big
gathering and the Baptists of the
city in cooperation with the cham
Der of commerce are trying to work
out plans that will give the people
who attend satisfactory entertain
ment 1t is estimated that 1000 del
egates will be in attendance.
The Baptist rs Million Campaign
will be the feature of the Macon
meeting. Every Baptist church in
Georgia, and there are more than
$500 white Baptist churches in the
state, will have representatives at
this convention. The leaders in the
Baptist IS Million Campaign are to
go to this meeting for the final
roundup of details and enthusiasm
for the big campaign which will be
made November 80 to raise one
tenth of the total amount expected
of southern Baptists.

LIQUOR FIGHT In
KENTUCKY COURT
TESTING CONSTITUTIONALITY
OF LAW MAY RELEASE TO-
600, 900 GALLONS BOOZE.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Attorneys for
national liquor interests are in Louis
vile today for the second step in a
contest inaugurated October 10 in
federal court here to test constitu-
tionality Of the wartime prohibition
law and eventually secure the release
for sale of 7O,000,00O gallons of
whisky in bond valued at approx
mately $75,00O,000.
The preliminary skirmish today
contemplated arguments on a motion
for an injunction against Elwood
Hailton, collector of internal revenue
for Kentucky, which in effect would
restrain him from interfering with
removal of the whisky, which largely
is in Kentucky warehouses.
The suit was brought by the Ken
lucky Distillers and Warehouse Co.,
on behalf of distillers generally. 1t
raises the question of the power of
congress to prohibit the sale of distill-
ed spirits manufactured long before
the United States entered the war and
is based largely on the fifth amend
ment to the constitution which pro-
hibits confscation of private proper
ty without compensation.

PRESIDENT PROMISES
A BRIEF WET SPELL
WILL ANNUL WAR TIME PROHI-
BITION LAW, is ANNOUNCE
MENT FROM WHITE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The SEN
ate passed the prohibition enforce
ment act over the presidents veto
today and made Immediately effective
machinery for preventing sale of bev-
erages containing more than one-half
of one per cent. alcohol.
The vote was 50 to 20. While there
was a wrangling over taking up the
measure in place of the peace treaty,
which had the right Of way, there
never was doubt as to how the SEN
ate stood. 1t was Overwhelmingly
dry like the house, which repassed
the bill within three hours after the
president vetoed it.
Before congress at $40 o'clock
finally clinched enactment of the en-
forcement law, despite presidential
objection to linking war time and
constitutional prohibition acts, there
came from the white house the an
nouncement that the war time law
which was put into effect after the
cessation of ostilities-would be an
nulled the moment the senate for
mally ratified the German peace trea-
ty.
Prohibition Leaders Disturbed.
1t was the most definite of all Off

WATSON GIVES HOME
TOWN A HOSPITAL
is A MEMORIAL TO THEIR Chill
DREN FROM HE AND MRS.
WATSON. WILL SUPPORT 1T.

THOMSON, Ga.-An institution
that will be of untold and lasting
good to this community will throw
open it's doors to the public in a
short while.
The Memorial Hospital, the first
institution of it's kind ever under
taken in Thomson, will be blessing
to the sick and unfortunate people
of Thomson and the entire commu
nifty. 1t is a memorial gift from Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. E. Watson for their
children, Louise Watson, Mrs. Oscar
Lee and Mr.. Durham Watson, and
is intended to be a blessing to all
who may need treatment in a hospit-
al.
The building on Lumpkin street
formerly occupied as a residence by
Mr.. G. w. Lokey and family is being
overhauled and enlarged to meet the
requirements. The site is high and
dry, large premises and plenty of
shade.
DIR. Clifford L. Bartlett will be in
immediate charge, but the donors of
the institution wish it distinctly I'M
derstood that all physicians are at
liberty to take their patients there
and to use the facilities afforded.
Mr.. Watson has purchased from
the shipbuilding plant at Jackson
vile, Fla, an expensive laboratory
outfit which will be installed at the
Thomson Memorial Hospital. Miss
Lillian Carpenter, who was connect
ed with the hospital at Jacksonville,
is now in Thomson and will be head
matron.
On the premises a ward will be
provided for the colored people, and
all classes or individuals in need of
treatment will find at the hospital a
place where their cases will be look
ed after.
The hospital will also be financed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Watson until such
time as is found that their assistance
is not needed, thus giving assurance
from the beginning that every pos
sible need will be looked after.
This is a very generous and noble
contribution to the civic enterprise
of Thomson, and means much to the
future welfare of the community.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The COM
mittee on expenditures of the war
department, which has been investl-
eating the disposal of American
army supplies abroad, has completed
its reports. 1t found, not superficial
Iv. but from the records of the liq-
uidation committee appointed by the
president, that among the supplies
Sold to France were 22,00O,O0O
pounds of sugar; 100000 pounds
of bacon; 100000 pairs of shoes
and 100000 wool blankets. The
food commodities, while in perfect
condition. were sold at large re-
duction for deterioration, though the
price had advanced in the United
States at the time of the sale until
il was much above that at which the
purchased the supplies.
It will be noticed that there is now
a shortage of every commodity IN.
Guided in this list and that prices OF
all of them are unreasonably high.
The committees report states
further that Secretary Baker wanted
to send large quantities of army sup
plies which were in this country to
France to be sold, presumably on the

same terms as the supplies which
were there and which were sold to
that government. Among the goods
which he wanted sent out of the
country for sale, lest the dumping of
them on the markets at home cause
a collapse in prices, were 38,536,O
pounds of bacon; 100000 pounds
of roast beef; 36,000,00O pounds of
corned beef; 20,O0O,000 pounds of
corned beef hash; 100000 cans
of baked beans; 100000 can of
tomatoes; 42,0O0,000 cans of string
beans; 38,OO0,000 cans of corn; 32,-
100000 cans of peas; 27,00O,OOO
pounds of sugar; 5,25O,0O0 pounds
of oleomargarine, and 1,25O,0O0
pounds of butter. These supplies
were not sent out of the country, but
that was because the public became
so insistently clamorous that they be
distributed that the war department
did not dare attempt to carry out the
ideas of Secretary Baker. The COM
mittee does not rely on its own in
vestigations in this matter. 1t quotes

AIR SERVICE COSTLY;
MILLIONSFOR MOORINCS
EACH DIRIGIBLE TO REPRESENT
$3,75O,OOO. WILL CROSS
THE GREAT OCEANS.

LONDON, Eng.-The proposed
Liverpool-Austriana and Liverpool
New York air service will be an enor-
nous undertaking. The problem of
supplying the necessary dirigible air.
ships is but one of the items to be
considered. They cost about $780,
600 each to construct, At least six
of these huge craft will be necessary
to maintain these two services with
any degree of regularity.
There are also to be considered the
problems of suitable landing grounds
and mooring posts; the intention of
the Great Northern Aerial syndicate
being that airdromes will be provided
at the more important stations, while
mooring posts will serve as second
class stops or halts.
Aerodromes for dirigibles are re-
quired only at every 1000 miles and
it is now possible for an airship to
be moored to or released from
mooring tower in any wind up to so
miles an hour; yet the total financial
backing considered necessary for
such an undertaking is in the neigh
borhood of $10,000,000.
The mooring out station for air
ships, which is in the form of high
tower enclosing an elevator shaft
by which passengers and cargo will
be taken up and down from the
ground, is over $50 feet high. With
a revolving head the airship can be
rigidly attached to this tower by the
nose, will ride clear of the ground in
all weathers, and be able to wing
with the direction of the wind.
Each of these towers will be pro-
vided with hauling-in winch and
rope by which the airship will be
hauled up to the mooring post; also a
supply base of hydrogen, fuel and wa
ter ballast.

DIVORCES DON'T
FORGET HUBBlES
ALIMONY CLERKS SAY FORMER
WIVES KEEP POSTED AS TO
CHANGES IN SALARY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Does a woman
keep "tab" on the man from whom
she is divorced, or is she contented
to receive her alimony regularly, car
ing little of what her former husband
is doing or where he is?
If one were to query Divorces the
answer undoubtedly would be that
when a woman is divorced she cares
not what her former husband is do
ing, whether he is about to marry
another woman, if he is in good
health, or if he has better position.
But if any one were to question
the alimony clerk in the circuit court
here a different tale would be heard.
Knows His Salary.
"What a divorced woman does not
know about the man she once called
hubby is not worth knowing" he
said. 81 have seen them come to this
office to collect alimony several years
alter IueN WGIG ulNO1CCu anu W StSAS
to tell you the amount of salary their
husbands now earn, where they spend
their evenings, who they board with,
the cost of their new overcoats, and
numerous other details of what their
former husbands are doing. 1t IS no
uncommon thing to have two divor,,
Gees meet in this office and swap
tales of where they had seen each
others husbands. No sir-they never
forget to keep tab on their former
husbands, If the alimony is late IN
arriving it is no uncommon thlng
for woman to blame another wo-
man for helping spend the money
which she claims is 'rightfully hers: "
Another thing, too, in connection
with these cases many of the divorc-
ed women often show spirit of Jea.l-
ousy in matters concerning their
former husbands and other women.

Old Record Shows Stamp Sold for
Csc, and Pint of Booze for &c.
CINCINNATI, Ohio.-Folks who
lived in Kentucky in 1916 had to pay
more to mail letter than they did
to purchase a pint of Kentucky's ia
nous firewater This is proven by an
old ledger kept by merchant in 1916
which was found when an ancient
landmark was razed at Hartford, the
county seat of Ohio county. An en-
try in this obsolete book reads: "To

Thus in 1916 pint of whisky cost
the thirsty Kentuckian just 8h
cents, while in 1919 it can't be had

does the price of corn liquor.
