UNION MEETING.
SUNDAY TO HEAR
COMMUNITY PLAN

That the lessons learned in the
war may not die, but their benefits
may be extended to even the remou-
est community in the country and be
shared in by those who stayed at
home as well as those who went to
to the training camps, is the purpose
of movement undertaken by the
United War Work campaign organiza-
ton in an after-the-war program an
nounced today.
The realization of this movement
will be undertaken in Sumter county
at once, and it was announced that
a union meeting of all the churches of
Americas will be held at First Baptist
church next Sunday night. The meet
ing will be in charge of R. P. Stack
house, Jr., James w. Lott and II. S.
Conner, three Sumter county young
men who early in the year dropped
their own business interests and went
to the training school at Blue Ridge,
n. c., where they learned the details
of the community program for the
purpose of imparting it to the people
of their community They will have
charge of this meeting Sunday night,
and promise not only an unusual
meeting, but one from which unex-
pected personal benefits will be GER
tain to be derived, as well as plenty
of wholesome entertainment expert
enced.
This program was aimed originally
to assist the returned soldier to re-
gain his place in civil life, blu tas no
such problem exists in this commun-
ity the principal efforts will be de-
voted to the community at large. 1t
was stated that, although the carry
ing out of the program is in charge
of Y. NJ. c. A. men, it has no actual
connection with the Y. M. C. A. or
ganization.
1t was further stated that no col
lection for the Y. M. c. A. or for the
movement will be taken at this Sun
day night meeting. 1t is solely a
community building meeting, aimed
at assisting the churches of the COM
munities to exercise a greater infu-
ence for uplift in their communities
by extending their activities and sup
plying for the young people the life
and entertainment they crave and
which cannot now get except outside
the church.

REMOVAL DEAD,
SAYS ATLANTA;
NO. SAYSMACON

ATLANTA, July 16-With both
sides claiming a definite victory, but
10Th apparently unwilling to trust a
vote, the capital removal issue re-
manned very much in doubt today,
following the action of the senate
yesterday in tabling the removal bill
by vote of 29 to IA.
The Atlanta newspapers are claim
ing that tabling the bill kills it def
initely, as Macon will not be able to
muster enough votes to take it from
the table and put it on its passage.
The Macon adherents, however, de-
clare they have enough vote to pass
it, as shown by the vote to table,
which action was taken on Macon's
action.
Macon knows she is defeated. At
lanta has won the capital removal
fight, and the matter is practically
settled right now"
This was the opinion expressed
unanimously by Senator Ivan AL
len and the Fulton delegation in the
house.
All the Fulton county men con-
strue Mr.. Fowler's tabling the meas
ure, as an admission on Macon's part
that she has not a two-thirds ma
.bority vote in the senate.

IMPUDENT EX-SOLDIER
NEGRO SHOT AT CORDELE

CORDELE, July 16. = Walter
Sampson, negro employee of the
Cordele Ice factory and ex-soldier,
was shot Monday on the grounds of
the factory by H. R. Williams, when
he is said to have impudently insulted
Mr.. Williams and drawn an ice saw
to make an attack upon him. Mr..
Williams went to the ice factory to
get some ice for his little sick niece
and when he arrived the negro was
on the platform and he is said to have
become very impudent when Mr.. Will
liams stated his purpose. Those who
saw the incident say the negro
struck at Mr.. Williams with the saw
which fell from his hand when the
shot was fired and through his arm
and into his side.
The negro has the reputation of
several times previously been impu-
dent to different white people who
had to procure ice from the Cordele
plant. The negro probably will re-
