| AT the meeting of the Communit,
Club last week Mrs. c. A. Rich was
the winner with high score.
Saturday and Sunday last were reg.
ular summer days, especially Sunday
when the mercury went up into the
eighties. In the afternoon a high
wind made things lively for while
and the clouds threatened a severe
storm but we escaped any trouble here
although there were many places
where the wind and hail wrought great
havoc, especially along the coast OF
Maine. In Montpelier there was quite
a big Of damage done and in Burling-
ton severe hail storm was a part
Of the afternoons performance. II
did not rain here until into the night.
A recent letter from DIR. l.. II. Hem
enway to his son, +. II. Hemenway Of
this village, contained the information
that Miss Clara Hemenway, who is
living with her father in Honolulu,
Hawaii, was struck down by an auto
mobile and severely injured on Friday
evening, April 10Th, while in the act
of entering a trolley car She was
very severely bruised and several ribs
were broken but the latest advices are
to the effect that she seemed to be re-
covering, although very lame and con-
fined to her bed. 1t was a very close
call for Miss Hemenway and her many
friends in Manchester are pleased to
learn that she was no more severely
injured than she was.

whose wealth comes largely from
agriculture.
Partially through the efforts of
the Fitzgerald Chamber of Com
merce and partially through other
agencies, Ben Hill county showed
the second most rapid growth in
agricultural population during
100000. Colquitt county was
first. The Moultrie trade body
interested itself largely in agri-
culture during the last ten years.
Moultrie merchants are feeling
the results, and will continue to
feel the results for long time
to come, especially since that in
terest in their customers by their
trade body is not slowing down.
If Fitzgerald is to be the coun-
ty seat of the first county in rural
growth for the 1920-1930 period,
there has got to be something
more substantial than newspaper
editorials and newspaper energy
contributed toward rural develop
ment.

PROBE THE DOUGLAS

PROBE THE DOUGLAS
WRECK-Union labor, or union
sympathizers, got the blame from
prolific newspaper correspon-
dent at Douglas for the wreck
that occurred there Tuesday morn
ing. Other agencies blamed the
unions or their sympathizers for
it. Advocates of union labor have
already made out a strong case
in their favor in regard to that
wreck. Neither side has produced
any positive proof of its conten-
lions, not enough to completely
satisfy fair minded man.
Union labor and union labor's
friends want proof positive. They
have confidence ilr the merit of
their contention that the wreck
was accidental, just as was the
collision in Fitzgerald Tuesday
night, and the melting off of an
engine truck wheel in Fitzgerald
Wednesday afternoon, and several
other mishaps that have occurred
to A. B. and A. property since its
efficient and experienced work.
men walked out rather than pas
sively accept sweeping wage re-
auctions whose necessity has not
been proved by investigation of
any impartial agency, or before
any established tribunal.
Union labor and union labor's
friends do not want the cause of
that wreck left to conjecture; they
want either conviction or COM
plete vindication. 1t is minated
that federal investigation is pos
sible. The Leader certainly hopes
that such investigation will be
made.

$l50,OO0 even today would make
a comfortable dent on the market
for a new product. But Pearline
was not a new product-it was a
product trying to come back. The
very next year, | understand, the
company was sold to competi-
tor, younger organization but
one whose policy was different.
This concern got its biggest start
and put forth its greatest sales eff
fort in 1917. I understand that
in 1915 Pearline was sold to the
Proctor & Gamble Co. for just the
cost of the machinery as Junk
and the stock on hand as raw
material. / have heard that the
price was $4,000.
There may be time when adj
vertising gets less results in sales
than it has obtained at other
times, but it should be remem-
bered that immediate sales is but
one of the results of advertising.
There is good will, leadership,
public attention and public es-
teen and, other bi-products Of
advertising that must be held in
the dull periods Of trade in order
to cash in on them when money
begins moving freely again.

YOUR CUSTOMERS MUST

PROSPER FIRST-This sec
ton wants plenty of good roads
and plenty of automobiles travel
ing over them. Fitzgerald should
have an automobile show this
years to pay special attention
to the kind of automobile that the
average farmer can buy. If every
two-horse farmer had an automo-
bile and a trailer in which to haul
his stuff, and good roads to haul
them over, we would have one
more fine section of country.
1t business men, including au-
tomobile dealers, will cooperate
with the farmer in business way
by helping to open new markets
and good markets for everything
the farmer can grow, pretty soon
every two-horse farmer will also
be "one-auto farmer" Business
men should prod the Chamber of
Commerce into lending active as
sistance to the farm bureau in
making its enterprise G o. There
should be curb markets in every
town over 5000 population in
Georgia. The Chambers of Com
merce in every town, however,
small, should use their influence
to bring more buyers to hog sales,
land to interest water melon and
cantaloupe buyers in coming to a
section to buy the crops from the
farmers. eand use other means at
the disposal of commercial organi-
cations to assist the farmers, the
customers of the members of the
organizations, to prosper.
Some people have peculiar
idea of the business of the Cham
Der of Commerce, think that such
a body's. sole function is to get a
hospital. or a college, or an ex-
pertinent station for its city from
some ones else city. That is one
junction, and a very fine one.
Such achievements are indeed a
feather in the cap of any town.
But, We gods, let's look to the
clothes on our back before we
seek feathers for our cap!!ll

MORE GOOD ROADS

|NEEDED-Next to good schools,
good roads are the essential thing
for any section, and especially an
agricultural section. When the
towns and cities depend largely
on money the farmer gets for his
produce, they should make it their
business to see that the farmer has
good roads over which to travel
frequently and easily bring that
produce to town.
The Nashville Herald has pro-
posed new official highway, for
this section, the highway to ex-
tend from Valdosta to Ray City
to Nashville, to Ocilla, and thence
along the Dixie Highway to Fitz1
gerald and Northward. A direct
route for tourists through Central

Land" of the future, is Editor
Simmons first purpose in his sug-
gestion. That in itself is good e
nough reason Tor paying especial
attention to good road direct
from Valdosta, a point on the Nat
ional Highway, to Ocilla, where it
would connect with the Dixie
Highway. This route would save
a good many miles over either the
Dixie Short Route or the National
Highway for tourists motoring to
and from Florida.
But there is an even more i'm
portant purpose in having a Val
sta-Fitzgerald direct highway,
and good roads, carefully laid out
and hard surfaced, between every

WHAT 1T COST TO
STOP ADVERTISING
(From Moultrie Observer \

The merchant should count
carefully what it will cost him to
slow up in advertising and in buy
ing new merchandise.
1t IS as dangerous 10 let your
business run down from non adj
vertising and from depleted stocks
as it is to let the battery of an au-
tomobile run down. There is the
same permanent injury.
You can lay off farming a year
and startsin again, but you cannot
stop a mercantile business that
is running on public reputation
and good will and then get it go
ing again. Trade that has found
another store is hard to lure back
again.
A writer in Printers Ink tells
the interesting story of Pearline
which should be warning tc
those who think they can lay
down pushing their business and
7 take it up again at will.
WHEN PEARLINE
STOPPED ADVERTISING
twenty years ago, one of the
best known names in national adj
vertising was James Pyles Pear
line. The advertising had run
continuously since 1873. In 1904
the appropriation for that Near
amounted to $4,000, which was
a great deal of money in those
days. In 1907. the concern having
passed into the hands of an es.

BETTER SCHOOLS FOR

BEN HILL-Four one-teacher
schools in Ben Hill county will
cease to exist on April 9Th, COM
mencement day, and next Octob-
er the pupils who ordinarily
would have gone to one of those
four schools to learn everything
from one overburdened teacher
will either go to new Eureka
Evergreen school where three
teachers will divide the work, or
to Ashton school where at least
seven teachers will each have an
opportunity to specialize in the
lines OF work they are best fitted
to teach.
The school consolidation which
has been effected is not as COM
plete as was hoped when the first
school consolidation meeting was
called at Ashton last month. At
first it had been hoped that all
four of the little. schools could be
merged with Ashton. That, how
ever, proved to be too sweeping a
change for the present. 1t will
come in the future.
1t is difficult to overestimate
the Importance of consolidating
small rural schools. Gone is the
day of the little red school house
on the hill' where children from
pinafore age to long trousers and
done-up hair all learned reading
and writing and 'rithmetic from
the overworked teacher. Gone il
is with the day of King Cotton
absolute reign in the South. 1t is
true that the 'little red school
house" developed some of Amer
icas greatest men. Lincoln had
not even that. But these men
were developed in spite Of the
handicap of inefficient and insult
ficient education, not because of it.
