LOOK BEFORE YOU BUY

a Pennsylvania paper relates a
bit of wild finance that nearly caught
some of its patrons.
A set of swindlers styling them
selves the "Anchor Manufacturing
Company" of New York City sent out
to people in the surrounding towns
a letter, stating that their company
had received from the United States
government a lot of unusually good
used Ford cars; that none of these
machines were of later date than 49,
IT. that all had been put in first class
condition, were fully equipped in every
way, and were equal to any 1919 car.
The price was 500. Fur the sum of
$50 down and $50 on receipt of the
car. the purchaser would receive one
of the cars shipped, freight prepaid
to his railroad station.
Fortunately government detectives
discovered that the thing was a
swindle, and descended upon the Of
fee in New York. The crooks had
received warning an dhad flown. Not,
however, until they had taken in
$4,000, the harvest of the first
mornings mail.
These people had no cars, no ar
rangement with the government,
nothing but a lively imagination
which they capitalized at the expense
Of the cerdulous.
There are apt to be many such
swindles started under the pretense
Of selling army goods obtained cheap
ly and it behooves the reader of any
advertisement offering such goods at
prices ridiculously low to investigate
before he invests.-Wayeross Jour

ARMISTICE-D DAY BATTLE LINE
MARKED BY CRUDE MONUMENT

A squat stone monument which
rises four feet from the soil of France
near Stenay will some day hold more
interest for American tourists than
the Arc de Triomphe, or a dozen 9th
ers, says the November Popular Me
chanics Magazine in an Illustrated ar
ticle. For this was erected by the
engineers of the Fifth Army Corps,
A. {. F., to mark the high water of
Americas triumphant advance against
the embattled Germans, reached Nov.
II, 1918. There's not another monu-
ment like it in the world. Trench
mortars and helmets deck the. top,
bristling bayonets and more helmets
adorn the sides. On one side is the
entagonal insignia of the Fifth Corps,
worked out in colored stone. The
monument rests on an enduring base
of concrete.

WILL CALL A HALT
ON WILDCAT STOCKS

Atlanta, October 25. The co-ope-
ration of the State Securities Com
missions and Secretaries of State IN
the Southeast, is being sought by
Silas W. Davis, Government Director
of the Savings division of the War
Loan Organization of this district, IN
the fight on wild cat" stock promo
tiers and swindlers who are operating
in this section.
Investigations recently made at the
instance of Director Davis developed
the fact that swindlers operating in
this section are getting rich through
the sale of fake stock, land leases,
and certificates of participation" IN
alleged oil companies and other cor
porations. Owners of Government
securities, War Savings Stamps, Lib
erty Bonds and Treasury Savings
Certificates are being induced to part
with their holdings in exchange for
these so-called "stocks" which pro-
mise a higher rate of interest, it IS
said.
In his letter to the State Authori-
ties, Director Davis says, in part:
Houston Thompson, Federal Trade
Commissioner gave his opinion be-
fore the House Judiciary Committee
in Washington few days ago that
more than 100000 year is
lost by the public through investment
in fraudulent stocks.
LAS branch of the Treasury De-
partment. this organization is MAX
ing an effort to protect owners OF
War Savings Stamps, Treasury Saw
ings Certificates and Liberty Bonds.
We have no desire to interfere with
legitimate business, but feel it duty
to warn owners of Government Sc
curities against parting with their
holdings without making sure they
will get fair return.
Widespread sale of fake securities
is detrimental to business. 1t re-
moves capital from legitimate chan
nels of Commerce, impoverishes the
community and adds to the burden
of the people through the increased
cost of living.

THIS PAPER LATE AND
IS SMALLER THIS WEEK
Linotype Accident Cause of Delay
and Leaving Out Many Things
of General Interest

This paper is issued day later
than usual and much is left out in
order to get out Friday evening in
stead of Thursday, which is our regu-
lar mailing day.
An accident to our linotype, the big
machine which makes the type from
which the paper is printed, was the
cause of the delay.
Special repair material had to come
from New Orleans, the nearest sup
ply house, and we lost both Wednes-
day and Thursday with the machine.
This is the first time such thing has
occurred in this shop for two years
and we have no further apology to
make.
We only hope that it will not oc-
cur again soon, but accidents will hap
pen in the best regulated shops and
ours does not claim perfection.

GEO. GOUMAS IS AWARDED
FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR

George Goumas, who won the Dis
tinguished Service Gross, and the
Croix de Guerre, has had an addi-
tional honor bestowed upon him by
the Republic of France.
This week he received through the
authorities at Washington from the
French government the medal and
certificate of membership in the
French Legion of Honor.
This was an unexpected honor and
we feel sure that it was worthilv
bestowed, for while George is now
devoting himself to so prosaic busl-
ress as a market, the records show
that his conduct in battle showed him
every inch a brave and most efficient
soldier.
We congratulate him upon his new
honor.

Mrs. J. W. Legg, Mrs. L. {. Bald

have returned from Richmond, Va,
where they attended the Young Wo-

men, all of them, with the thought
of lettering the minds, hearts and liv-

women of their communities.
There were also present women who

the battlefelds. organizing and equip

way, the women of all nationalitles
touched by the war, others, who had
been doing service in South Ameri-

and other national officials, for the
7. W. c. A throughout their land,
as we'll as another, with a touching
call, from Japan, China and India,
where the work is just beginning, and
the women begging for workers
from democratic America.
And so, we might go on indefinitely
telling of all this foreign work, but
work has been done nearer home, in
the United States of America; in all
our Southeastern Division and most
especially among the mill girls of
North and South Carolina, where
there was no recreation or pleasure
whatever, here the work has been or

things that go to make life mare COM

FARMERS MUST FIGHT
FOR BETTER PRICES

There is much complaint relative
to the high cost of living in towns
and cities. Wage earners and sal
aried men complain of the high cost
of living while they live high and
insist uuon an income which will en-
able them to support their families
IN idleness. These town and city
men work eight hours day for five
and a half days in the week and COM
plain OF the high price Of farm pro
duets produced by the farmer and
his family working about twelve
hours per day. The farmer and his
family toll long hours and know lit
tie of the comforts and conveniences
enjoyed by the town and city mans
family and seldom complain.
The world seems to begrudge the
farmer a decent living. lie sells for
80 cents a pound of cotton which is
manufactured into cotton goods that
sells for s. or more. He gets about
$3.50 for the wheat which goes into
a barrel Of -four that retails for about
$50 when made into loaves of bread.
The lowering of the price of cotton
and wheat and other farm products
will have very little effect upon the
retail price of the finished product to
the consumer, as the cost of the raw
material is usually a small item in
the final cost of the things we buy.
However, price or no price, there
is no reason why the farmer and his
family should toll long hours to grow
food for idle town and city families.
The farm woman cans, sews and
washes for all the family, and be-
sides raises chickens, milks the cows
and cultivates the garden. Farm
children go to school from four to
six or seven months in the year, work
around the home during the nights
and mornings and for long hours eV-
cry day during the long summer
days. The town and city women re-
fuse to move out into the suburbs
and attend to gardens, chickens,
cows, fruit trees and so on. The town
children 90 to school nine months in
the year and do nothing during the
mornings and evenings and the three
vacation months. However, in spite
of these facts, there IS a strong move
ment to greatly reduce the price Of
farm products.
Farmers Of this country should
organize and demand a
sufficient Price Tor their products 70
enable them 70 enjoy the same educa-
tIonal advantages and the same com
forts and Injuries enjoyed by the
town and city man. Furthermore.
the farmer and his family should rot

BARRETT SAYS BEST ADVICE
CAME FROM COBB COUNTY

bud Glass, of the Georgian, pays
a prominent Cobb county citizen a
deserved compliment in the following
item:
Martin F. Amorous, ex-Atlantian,
ex-sawmill magnate and railroad
owner and now a plain Cobb county
farmer, was paid a compliment really
worth while at Washington last week.
I heard about it through Charles S.
Barrett, president of the National
Farmers Union, who told somebody
else who told me.
Il bet | had a thousand letters
chock full of advice about the indus
trial conference at Washington and
what it ought to do" said Mr.. Bar
rett, as he was catching a train Mon
day to return to the conference. But
out of all of them, letter from
Martin Amorous setting forth his
idea on the labor situation was the
only one whose contents | cared to
set before the conference"
Mr.. Amorous, by the way, has
something in his system besides the
faculty Of making money. He has
written letters to Atlanta newspapers
frequently, giving his views on some
subject of the day, and always they
have been to the point and full of
sound sense. If he ever goes broke,
which isn't likely, there is good JOB
open for him as editorial writer. But
probably he prefers raising blooded
stock and being president of the Cobb
County Farmers Union.

A FATAL ACCIDENT ON
POLK STREET CROSSING
Engine Crushes Big Truck Against
Stone Wall. Killing One Man
and Injuring Another

About seven o'clock on Monday
morning at the Polk Street crossing
a crossing accident occurred, resulting
in the instant death of one man and
serious injury to another.
Mr.. Coryell Bryant, accompanied by
Jackson Powell, colored, was driving
the big furniture truck of Mr.. John S.
Dobbins, going west on Polk Street
just in time to collide with the engine
of the outgoing L. & N. freight, which
uses the track to the east, only few
feet from the wall of the lumber yard
building.
Although neither the engine or the
truck was going with any speed, the
view of the engineer and truck driver
was obscured by the building until al
most the instant of contact.
The truck was crushed against the
corner of the stone wall around the
Episcopal church lot and dragged fif-
teen feet further before the engine
could be stopped, and Jackson Powell,
the colored man in the truck was
caught against the wall and crushed to
death when he attempted to jump out
of the truck, while Mr.. Bryant, who
was driving the truck had one of his
legs broken and sustained other Sc
we're injuries.
Mr. Bryant was rushed to the Mari
eta Sanitarium, where his wounds
were dressed and he is now apparent
ly on the road to recovery.
We made no attempt to locate the
blame for the accident, leaving that to
the railroad or other authorities, but
we would add a word of commenda-
ton of the Waterman at this crossing,
whom we understand had not come on
duty at the time of the accident. By
personal observation we can say that
he is the best crossing Waterman we
ever saw, and we have seen many.
To the colored man, who lost his
life, we wish to pay a tribute. Jack
son Powell was faithful, honest and
industrious employee of Mr.. John
Dobbins for more than ten years. He
owned his own home and was in every
way a good citizen, having the esteem
of all who knew him, both white and
black. He was about 90 years of age
and leaves a wife and two grown chill
dren.

The BARNES LAW, OR
WHERE ARE WE AT?
(Editorial.)

kEOlLOTldl.D
If Mr.. Barnes-we don't know his
other name, or where ne lives-could
drop into Atlanta or Marietta, or any
one of a dozen other towns in that
part of the state formerly observing
central time, he would not be likely
to hear any praise of his famous law
enacted to clarity the time situation
in Georgia.
Nor would any of those legislators,
who so kindly helped Mr.. Barnes fix
the great state one-time law on the
people feel complimented to know
what we think of them-but they
Nigh arrest US if we printed it.
We predicted at the time the law
was passed that it would result in
more confusion than before, and it
certainly has. Within AZ hours of
the time for the railroads and the
government to go back to central
time according to laws of the United
States, we find Atlanta uncertain at
what time schools will open, the cleo
trio lines uncertain whether they are
to observe the Barnes law or go on
the same time as the railroads, facto-
ries uncertain what hours will be OBJ
served for work, and with all general
confusion.
Confusion of time IS curse to the
people, and this confusion is brought
about at this time solely by the Bar
mes law.
The city of Marietta will probably
for its own convenience be obliged to
observe the time that Atlanta OBJ
serves. Up to Friday the post office
at Marietta did not know what hours
for opening or closing they would OBJ
serve but they were certain Of one
thing they would have to close and
receive the mails according to rail-
road time, ignoring the Barnes law.
The schools were all at sea but the
president of the school board stated
on Friday that it was the intention OF
the Board to have the schools open on
Monday a half hour later than now
thus splitting the difference between
the Barnes law and railroad time
and later to change either way they
Ast-e fit, but what time will we call it?
The country people, no doubt, viii
observe railroad time so far as they
deal with the railroads, and the rest
don't matter, as they are accustomed
to use all the daylight there is any
way
The churches will be at sea again
and lots of fellows will use the con
fusion as an alibi for not being there,
The courts are said to be under
state law and thus obliged to use
Barnes time, but they can set the
hours back and fix that.
Mr.. Barnes, no doubt, was sincere
in his wish to secure one time for the
whole state, but for Mr.. Barnes, we
have lots of company in hoping II
may be his last time.
