Women had already been voting in
some states prior to the passage Of the
nineteenth federal amendment In
Georgia, however, in spite of the fac,
that in municipal and some coup+v,s
elections, women have already cas-,
ballots, some legislative measures are
needed 70 clear up the law and wipe

Whether there viii be legislation to
affect women as to their civic rights
and privileges is yet to be decided
On several occasions the women of
Georgia have clearly and positively
expressed themselves as being oppos-
cd to discrimination in their favor.
They want their share of the burden
and obligation along with the rights
and privileges that have been granted
them. There are some interesting
creStions ahead for the lawmakers OF
Georgia.

with their fellows in the uplifting spirit of the
occasion when the good old religious melodies
that have survived for generations, that have
gained and held their followings while the hun
dreds of popular" schools of song have risen
like mushroom, fourished for season and
been forgotten The singing association and the
singing convention is an age old institution in
fulfilled that law of nature that says the best in
life shall be perpetuated and the things that are
not good shall not last.
The history of civilization is history of music
no less than of wars. Every change in the condi-
ton OF mankind has been marked and memoir
ialized in music and by new developments in
must he folk lore of every land is airing with
music The religious music OF the country
church is considerable part of American mus,
cal literature 1t has reached and benefited a
larger and more important class of people than
has all the classic music of the age 1t has
meant more in developing the backbone and the
framework of American civilization than the
immortal works of Puecn or Verdi or Wagner
have meant. Those deeper and more intricate
works of music can reach only few, the sort of
music Fitzgerald will hear this week can and
has reached all the masses and the classes of
the English speaking world
The delegates and visitors to the singing con-
vention will be welcomed by Fitzgerald people
and should be treated royalty by Fitzgerald peo-
pie. They should be made to feel perfectly at
home and to go away with the "come back

A LACK OF APPRECIATION MORE THAN

Day IN the United States, day set aside for
commemoraton of the introduction of the Amer
lean flag into the emblematc boquet of nations.
by proclamation of the. vice president the day
was celebrated by patriotic organizations OF the
land. In Fitzgerald a little meeting was held
to honor the flag. Other than that nothing was
done. Probably less than a hundred people in
fitzgerald knew Tuesday was flag day, or know
ing cared. There is little enthusiastic patriotism
IN America, at least there is little demonstrative
patriotism.
Lack OF real appreciation of American rights.
privileges and liberties is probably bamabe for
lack OF eagerness to honor the flag and to OBJ
serve patriotic holidays Americans have come
too much to look upon their prerogatives as SOW
erelgn citizens as a matter of course boon I'M

The hard won gift OF liberty, equality and
democracy handed down from the generations
that are passed or passing is priced too little by

is 100 likely to be too little defended Political

ESTIMATE OF SENATOR WATSON

Eo 1MA1E OF SENA1OK WAISON-jame
A. Holloman, Washington correspondent of tn.
Atlanta Constitution in a recent issue of tn.
Constitution says:
A more statesmanlike utterance was never
made by servant of the people in this country
than the following leading editorial from the per
OF Senator Thomas f. Watson, in the last issue
of his Columbia Sentinel:
The daily papers of Georgia are giving
me square deal. A sense of fairness moves
me to say this, and to express my deep APP
probation
Now that | am senator, they realize that
my intention is to give the whole state the
best service that is in me- regardless of
former differences.
This does not mean that | could ever for
get the splendid confidence and loyalty of
those who stood by me in all the dark years
of the past but it means that having been
made the representative of all, I will do my
utmost to represent, not facton-much less
an embttered feud-but the whole people,
rich and poor, country and town. black and
white.
Responsibility, great responsibility!
coming upon man past the meridian of life,
calls him to discretion, to thoughtfulness for
both sides of every great question.
in this tremendous machinery of govern
rnent, growing more colossal every year, one
man cannot hope to do very much the ma
chine has motor-power of it's own and the
generators are stationed far away; all that
any one man can do is, to stay on his Job and
work as well he knows how
And gives this estimate of the work BEING done
by our Junior senator in the upper house of the
national house of legislation:
Let me say in all correctness there is not ON
the moor OF either house of congress today a
member who is striving more zealously to do his
sworn duty as sincere, conscientious, intelligent
and Thoughtful representative of all the people of
his constituency than the junior senator from
Georgia. and he is already one of the big and in
huential men of the greatest deliberative BODY in
the world, for with all of the inherent weaknesses
OF men, the American senator is Justly entitled
to be so characterized
And that is not all
If Senator Watson keeps up the record he is
making as quick and orceful debater: as a stu
dent of legislation; as student of research as
discerning in judgment, he will go down in his
tory, not as tirebrand or political feudist but
as one OF the greatest and most constructive of
the American statesmen of his day and genera
ton

political bed-fellows | am not seeking anv new

or new seisms. / am only telling the truth, re-

WHY MILFORD
 HIGH SCHOOL HAD NO HEAT

Milford-Wlly the Milford high school had no neat yesterday when when it was disclosel that the skele- ton of an Indian. said to be 200 years of age, which was dug up by boys who were digging to bury horse at the farm of Nelson Merwin, at Oltfield lane, had been deposited at the school by the boys with per- mission of the principal Frederick s. Gorham, and it's discovery in the early morning by Janitor Walter Radeski, had so frightened him that he fled four miles to his home, leaving the school fires to take care of them selves The boys who found the skeleton are studying anatomy and conceived the idea of taking the skee- ton to the school to aid them in their studies. They obtained permission of the medical examiner and the princi- pal. The skeleton was buried in sitting position and is said to be won derful1y well preserved.

 Just Fishing Trip.
 The investigation is palpab1y a fishing expedition with an attached hope that it may "restore confidence" To date there are no developments in the situation created by the closing of the towns one bank other than those already published. The institu- ton which handled practically all of tbe local financial transactions is closed and one of the popular idols in the person of Kneen has fallen fallen far-and has been consider ably shattered by the impact. As a result the business portion of the community is strengthened as a result of it's deposits being held and the un- certainty of the amount of loss there will eventually be. With commend able patience and quiet, however. the people are waiting for further facts and hoping for the best.
 There is said to be some possibility that considerable sums may vet be realized on the large notes held against concerns in New York. If this should be done it would reduce the loss to a point where the deposit tors would get nearly all of their money.
 The question of criminal responsi- bility seems to be squarely up to
  It is said that all the facts bearing on this point that have come to the Knowledge of the state officials and the receiver have been placed in his hands and it is for him to decide how many, if any, can be held for crim- lnal action and to determine what action shall be taken and when. It is thought that a decision will be reach ed by him within a day or two and action, if determined on, would prob- ably follow at once.
