Negro, Dead Set
on Civil Service,
Champion Forger

a TIANTA, Feb 10-The federal
n authorities of the northern
district of Georgia believe they
have captured the champion all
round forger of Georgia in the per
son of Ulman Alan Everett, ne
gro school teacher of Talbotton,
who is alleged to have forged his
wav into the civil service almost
while the authorities were looking
at him
He forged the names of two men
as references, they say; and when
asked to produce certificates from
them that their signatures we're
genuine, he promptly forged the
certificates; whereupon the civil
service examiners wrote the two
men letters inquiring about their
recommendation of Everett, and he
intercepted the letters and forged
replies favorable to himself. Then
the examination proceeded and he
made his marks and got a position
in the civil service.
But an investigator got on the
train and went to Talbotton and in
tervfewed the men whose names
had been forged, and Everett was
at the end of his rope He is now
in the federal prison in this city.

P.S.: II you can make any use

You should make the EATONlC test

own common sense, your own feelings,

out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
You want to enjoy life again after

So be sure to take a box OF EATON1C

it will not cost you penny. There is no

PAVED ROAD TO
PLAINS NEWEST
MEMORIAL idea

The plea of Crawford Wheatley'
treasurer of the Third District A &
N school, for the completion OF the
vitality needed academic building OF
the school as a memorial to the sold
iers of Sumter county, as published
in Sundays Times-Recorder. was
read with wide interest and was the
subject of much comment yesterday
and today. Many regarded the PRO
uosal as the most feasible and at the
same time the most laudable OF all
the suggestions yet made for a mem
orial. But along comes another-an
idea entirely new. 1t is from Plains
and. of course, Plains is as interest
ed as Americas in seeing that the
memory of our soldiers who fought
in France is properly perpetuated.
This new idea is for the construction
of a rock and cement road between
Plains and Americas, with bronze tad
lets at frequent points, each bearing
the name of a Sumter soldier who
served in the great war.
Here is the letter, from a promln-
ent citizen, who asks that his name
be withheld:
Editor Times Recorder.
The historian Sallust in writing the
history of the Justinian wars said the
reason why the Romans excelled
all the world in prowess of arms
was because of the fact that they most
honored their soldiers for their great
deeds of valor. There we're hundreds
OF monuments erected in the city Of
Rome, and every great deed of their
soldiery was commemorated in bronze
and marble The Romans honOred
themselves and became the greatest
people in the world by honoring Vir-
tue, bravery and patriotism. From
their history Americans can draw con-
illusions, which If carried into effect
would be equally conclusive and effec-
tive. To our boys who have offered
their all for their country we should
be ready to offer any sacrifice in re-
tnrn for the sacrifices they have made.
BY an exemplary spirit of loving and
giving, we could make ourselves and
our country stronger and finer. Our
boys who are coming home have
caught new vision of liberty and de-
mocracy, and we should not let this
opportunity pass to accomplish the
building up Of our community. by
erecting a suitable memorial.
We should not only express appro-
PIRATE appreciation of their services
by telling them how glad we are to
have them back again, but we should
build for them lasting memorial that
they and posterity may know for all
time that we honored the boys who
have made the world safe for democ-
racy. We should plan some fitting,
useful, beautiful and perpetual memo
rial for them all Let it stand as a
daily reminder Of orr gratitude and
devotion-not only 10 the boys who
