FOR REVIVAL OF
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Merchants Meet At Chamber Of
Commerce Tonight
TO PLAN SALES DAYS
Closer Fellowship With Com
mercial Interests Planned

Merchants Meeting tonight
should have the full cooperation
of everyone doing any sort of
legitimate business in Fitzger-
aid, be it commercial or profess
sional or financial, since the re-
suits to be achieved are for the
common good and the general
revival of business activity in our
territory. No one can escape
injury from community failures
and conversely, 20 one will fail
to reap benefits from community
success. So it behooves all to
put their shoulders to the wheel
and help push. Many doing
something in unison will remove
any obstacle that may impede
progress of the individual and
make the Open Road more easily
travelled for all.
We have no patent on our
Ideas and no strings tied to
whatever benefits can be gotten
for the community from them,
what everyone wishes is closer
fellowship with the commercial
interests of the city for the ben
eft of the whole.
Come out and do your part,
your neighbor will do his.

Kennedy Memorial Baptists Begin
Work On Handsome New Church
Growth of Congregation Makes
New Building Necessary;
Finished Next Year

The Kennedy Memorial Baptist
congregation has begun work on a
handsome new church at the corner
OF Gordon and Altamaha streets
which will cost $4,000 when COM
plete. The work was started earlier
than at first planned because of the
depressed condition temporarily ex-
isting here which makes skilled labor
plentiful and makes this an oppor-
tune time for all building operations.
When complete the new church
will be 35x56 feet with a Sunday
School room 12x30 feet adjoining
The present house of worship will be
converted into pretty bungalow
and used as a pastorate for the min
lister. The new church will be large
enuogh to care for the normal
growth of the congregation for many
years to come.
The growth of the Kennedy Mem
orial Baptist church has been one OF
the remarkable features of Fitzger-
aid expansion during the last few
years. The congregation was formed
with nine sustaining members five
years ago following passage of res
olution by the First Baptist church
to establish a First Ward Baptist
church. Through the courtesy of the
school board, the congregation used
the First Ward school as a place OF
worship during the first two years OF
its life.
The little band of worshippers
went deeply in debt to buy the land
and build its first house of worship
that which is at present in use. Since
then the sustaining membership oil
the congregation has grown to sixty
and the Sunday School to about one
hundred members The financial
support which was at first given by
the home missions board of the FRS

Grand Barbecue
And Fish Fry

Undoubtedly the largest free and
most lavishly served barbecue and
fish fry ever given in this locality
was that offered at Wiley Williams
Farm yesterday evening at 600 PM
The hosts were the newly elected city
officers and their friends and the in
vited guests were so many with their
uncles, aunts, and cousins and car
owners SO generous in Transporting
them that the number probably en-
ceeded one thousand.
At least thirty men beginning the
day before had helped in the prepare
ton and twenty ladies assisted in the
serving eight pigs, ten kids, quarter
of beef, five hundred pounds of fish
many tubs of pilleau, gallons and gal
Ions of coffee, besides bread, pickles
and sweet potatoes galore.
1t would be impossible to name al
those who had part in it, but those
who were present know and appreci
ate their hospitality.
1t was a glorious evening and the
place is beautifully situated on a bluff
just back from the river. There is
every reason to wish that such a pleas.
ureable occasion might be enjoyed
I again.

ALL VETS WELCOME
National Representatives Will
Talk to Service Men

Two hundred Fitzgerald ex-service
men yesterday signed a petition to
congress for soldier bonus. The
petition was being circulated by J.
Bell, ex-gob, representative of the
Stars and Stripes, the famous Over
seas service publication. More than
a million signatures, he says, have
been secured all over the United
States by corps of men from the
Stars and Stripes. The petition ar
ranged so that the signer could des-
ignate the kind of bonus he would
prefer, whether in land, insurance,
cash or education.

Diplomats Confer
On German Offer
(By International News service>

BERLIN, April 28.-The British
ambassador to Germany was recalled
to London in connection with the
German indemnity proposals. He
conferred today with German For
eign Minister Simon to secure a de-
tailed explanation of the German
offer.
Lord Kilmernock of the British
mission, received orders from Lon
don to confer with Ellis Dresel
United States commissioner, who
forwarded the German note to
Washington.
Baptist church has been released and
the church is now entirely self-sus-
tanning.
1t is probable that the congrega-
ton will have to ask help on its new
building before it is finished but il
will be built by the members of the
congregation if possible.
Rev. c. A. CHM has been pastor
of the congregation since it started
with nine members in the First Ware
school and his constant and abb,
labor for the church has been a bis
factor in its steady growth.

Carlyle Mcdonald Makes Memorial
Day Address For u. D. e. Tuesday,
Pays Glowing Tribute to Heroes
OF Gray Army and to Women
of the Old South

Attorney Carlyle Mcdonald Tues
DAY delivered the annual Confederate
memorial Day address for the United
Daughters of the Confederacy to an
audience OF nearly two thousand
people, including nearly all the pupils
OF the public schools.
Glowing tribute is paid in Mr.. Nc
Donalds address to the valor of the
heroes OF the Gray army and to the
quiet heroism of the women Of tie
Old South who suffered for the men
at the front and labore1 through the
long bitter years OF reconstruction
to bring forth the New South.
The address, in part, is as follows:
The South, Her Cause, Her Heroes
Mr.. Chairman, United Daughters
of the Confederary, United Confed-
crate Veterans, Ladies and Gentle
men:
In an occasion like today, l would
like to know that the muses. had be-
slowed upon me the fiery brilliance
OF Robert Toombs; the magnetic
torcefulness of Ben Hill, and the cool
logic of Alex. Stephens; for it would
take man endowed with all the &C
complishments of these three great
Georglans to pay tribute, like tribute
should be paid, to those valiant he
roes in gray, who fought SO generous
ly and so bravely, for cause, which
to them was right.
No more can we see those strong
stalWart, young men in gray who
three score years ago heard the cal
OF their native Southland, and not
only heard, but answered this cal
from every city, village, hamlet and
farmhouse throughout the broad ex.
panse of the Southern states; al
ready to take up a cause which tc
them was more than holy
All, yes! those brave hearts are
gone Most of them lie beneath tn,
sacred sod of their native states
while just a few of these battle.
Scared veterans remain with lis
Thank God! for the few that remiar
and the inspiration that they give us
today. | am glad that these few re-
main and know thar their fight wa,
not in vain and that they have livec
to see that the South will ALWAYS
love, honor and revere their names.
For keeping ever sacred the mem.
DRY of these veterans, was the pur.
pose for which memorial day was
originated and you know | am happy
to know that Memorial Day was the
idea of Georgia lady and that it is
a Georgia institution. This day has
Tor its inspiration one of the noblest
things that ever inspired any day and
we should always hold dear the event
and that for which it stands
The motives of no people and no
section of the United States have
been mis-reprcsented more and I'M
derstood less than the people who
formed the Confederate States of
America. We, ourselves, are letting

as traitors and as a people who re-
belled solely for the purpose of per-

the Receiver in answer to three gen
eral questions bearing on the strik,
which were asked by F. A. Burgess
union chief and former member O
Board of Adjustment No. |, unde
Federal control of the railroads.
Senator Cummin's letter to Mr.
Burgess follows:
My dear Mr.. Burgess
| have yours of the 10Th instant il
which you refer to the recent Trans
portation Act and ask me thre,
questions. These questions / will
attempt to answer.
l. Whether receiver of a prop
erty is not bound by the terms of tn,
Act in the same degree as the man
agr of railroad would be-"
The Receiver of a railroad is ar
officer of the court and is, of course
bound to obey the orders and direc
tons of the court which appointed
him. Therefore, your inquiry really
is: Are the courts of the country
bound by the terms of the Transpor
tation Act?
PROFESSIONALLY, they are.
The function of the court is to ad
minister the law, and any rourt
which either requires or permits Z
receiver of railraod to violate tn,
terms of the Transportation Act i.
unmindful of its duty. l have nc
doubt whatsoever that a railroad ir
the hands of a receiver is as com.
pletely controlled by the Transpor.
tation Act as a railroad in the hands
of the board of directors of private
corporation.
D. "Can either a receiver or a man.
ager violate the terms of the Trans
portation Act and at the same time
the Act be binding upon the en-
ployees?"
1t is somwhat difficult to answer
this inquiry without a general dis
cussion of the subject, and that
cannot attempt at this time. The
transportation Act binds everybody
that is to say it is the duty of re.
ceivers, managers and employees tc
obye. Unfortunately, there is nc
sanction in no sanction in the law, OF
penalty for disobedience; but thi:
commission does not justify any per
son in disregarding it.
3. IF you feel the proposition made
to the rereiver was fair and equita

steps might be taken in order to hav

GOODNESS PAYS"
NOTED AUTHOR SAYS

J NEW YORK.-Patriotism made
practical!
Harold Bell Wright, whose book
sales have gained him the title of
the most popular author in the
world, says:
patriotism that was applied to
war should now be applied to work.
Spontaneous expression of pa
| triotism of which America is capa-
BILE should not be allowed to go to
waste
1 found Wright at the Waldorf
his new book, 'Helen of the Old
House." which comes out in August
Wright insists the public wants
wholesome Iiterature.
aside FRONT the personal moral
uplift and satisfaction in purveying
high ideals, there is no question
that the author who writes to sat
isfy a soul hunger or personal or
public need is the financial winner.
And what Americans need and
want now is spirituality.
Though this is commercial age
or perhaps because of it-there new
er has been a time when people
SO hungered for a spiritual light.
THE American people, despite their
commercialism, have decided
thread of mysticism in their make
up. We have proof of their spirit
ual hunger in the pursuit of strange
and new cults and isms.
My books have grown from my
ideas on what L felt to be real
need of the people. L never write
book because L have story to
tell.
I'm The Winning of Barbara
WORTH as an example, L tried to
show the proper use of capital as
constructive force as opposed to
the use of capital for the accumu-
lation of dividends.
To-day the whole world is strug
Cling toward readjustment. We can
never doubt the spontaneous and
unselfish patriotic spirit of Amer
lea. But now we need to swerve that
great spirit which breathed on
Flanders field toward battles and
struggles of opposing forces in our
industrial and social life.
The patriotism of work, the
elimination of waste-those are mo-
tives in my new book. Also | try
to make clear that the rich need
understanding as much as the poor.
Men who know the price of every
thing and the value of nothing
are not only cheating themselves
but society. The child who looks
through the forbidding bars of the
rich mans garden cannot be depriV-
ed of the real value of the flowers.
Money cannot corner the real es

Fine Melon Crop in
Wilkinson County

IRWINTON. GA, July 22.-The
finest crop of watermelons Wilkinson
county has ever raTsed is now almost
ready for the market. A number of
cars have already been sold at Cor
don and Toomsboro. The best melons
have sold for a good price, but one
car at Toomsboro of inferior quality
brought only $65. The largest acreage
ever planted in one year is the re-
suit of the boil weevil ravages and
the growers are jubiiant over the
prospects.
The heaviest shipments of the sea-
son will open up the latter part of
this week and will extend att through
next week. An especially large num-
Der of cars will be shipped from
Gordon and Claymont The soil of
this county seems especially adapted
to the melon and from all indications
now, every farmer will plant them
next year.
j. j. Mcconnell, farmer near here
seems to have broken all records in
the size of his melons, he having
brought in a number of giant melons,
some of which weighed over fifty
pounds.

Holloway Will Be
Oil Fee Custodian
Pending Court Action

]. ]. Holloway, state oil inspec-
tor, will be custodian of the oil in
spection fees being paid the state
of Georgia, pending action by the
United States supreme court in the
case of Texas Oil company against
J. J. Brown and the Georgia depart
ment of agriculture, it was announced
Wednesday, following a ruling by
United States Judge S. H. Sibley, in
the federal court.
Following an appeal of the case
from the district court, which ruled
for the state body, it was ruled that
all oil inspection fees be deposited
in an Atlanta bank, subject to order
of the court, until the lecision of
the supreme court is handed down.
The oil company is contending that
the inspection fees charged are eX
cessive and out of proportion to the
amount necessary to maintain the in
spection service. If the case is de-
cided in favor of the oil company,
the fees, after certain deductions for
clerical work are made, will be re-
turned to the Dlaintiff
