New Barber Shop
To Open Shortly
New Innovation For Fitzgerald In
Opening of New Shop

Bert Archer, for number of years
connected with the City Barber Shop.
will shortly install shop of his own
in Room 213, Second floor in the
Five Story Building.
The owners of the building and Mr.,
Archer expect to be ready for bust
ness by Monday, November 18th. The
room is being remodeled and every
equipment and convenience installed
for the operation of a modern, first
class Barber Shop.
This is quite an innovation for Fitz-
gerald. Every office building in all OF
the larger cities is equipped with one
or more first class barber shops, thus
affording more privacy for men and
ladies who accompany children to the
barber shop.
With the reputation for the highest
class workmanship In his line, and
his wide circle of friends and acquain-
tances, and already large number of
patrons and customers, we predict for
Mr.. Archer success.

Thanksgiving Service
Was Well Attended

A very delightful Union Thanksgiv-
ing service was held at the Primitive
Baptist Church last night. The church
was comfortably filled and all who
came cordially welcomed by friendly
greetings and beautiful flowers, The
singing was unusually good, led by
choice voices from the different choirs
A selection from the l03rd Psalm ar
ranged by F. o. Excel was beautiful
ly rendered by a quartette composed
of Mrs. L. A. Turner, Miss Marjorie
Owen, Mr.. Burr Stokoe and Rev. r.
M. Mann. A very appropriate solo,
"Somebody Did A Golden Deed" was
most acceptably sung by Miss Eulalie
Dorminey, but one of the main feat
ures of the meeting was the unique
sermon preached by Rev. ]. H. Elder
on the Thanksgiving basket of the
Jews of olden time and its signific-
ance.
The whole congregation seemed to
enter into the spirit of the occasion
and were glad they were there. The
only regret was that more of the peo-
pie of our city were not present.

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 23-Capt.

sistant military attache at London and
on the British front in Flanders, and
was with the American Army of Oc-
cupation in Germany. For his valu-
able work he was awarded the Brit
ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote
washington Close-Ups," a series of
character sketches of eminent figures
in the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr.. Lowry has been
making close study of the business
! of the government. He is given credit
in congress- for his aid in passing the
budget bill and in bringing about the
naming of the joint committee of the
house and senate to investigate and
report upon the administration and or
gdnization of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peo-
pie of the United States to know the
details of the United States govern
ment, which is their business. He be-
lieves the knowledge of these details
will make of them better Americans
and give them better government.
No man not imbued with Mr.. Low
rvs high ideal could have carried out
this study of the government business
so exhaustively and painstakingly as
has he. Probably he now knows more
about it than any other man in the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and logged persistence he went
after hidden facts and multifarious de-
tails-and got them. Nothing was too
big for his comprehension or too small
for his attention. At one time he went
to a member of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had on
its payrolls, exclusive of the officers
and men of the army and navy, one
employee for each 6S people Of the
United States ten years of age and
over engaged in gainful occupations.
1t took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants he had at his command, a
considerable time, and considerable eff
fort to verify Mr.. Lowry's statement,
but he found it to be true.
AS the result of his careful studies
Mr.. Lowry has written a series of ar
ticles on the business of government
income and expense where the money
comes from, and how and for what it
is spent; whether the organization of
the business side of government is eff
cient or inefficient; whether the gov
eminent wastes the money we give 1t.
The series is not in any sense politi
cal. 1t is not an attack, not a muck
raking expedition. 1t recites facts.
conceded, acknowledged facts. These
facts come from the men in the gov.
ernment-from the government itself
and they are all facts that every
American citizen is entitled to know
and should know.
The series of articles on this subject
of "Where Your Taxes Go" will be
carried il these columns. They should
be read by every American who is In
terested in the welfare of the nation.

Big Tobacco Crop
For South Georgia
Railroad Industrial Department. win
Import Experts To Assist Growers

ATLANTA, Nov, 25-Along with
its great diversity of products, South
Georgia is going to raise big tobac-
co crop, according to reports receiv-
ed here by agricultural experts.
The A. B. & A. Railway which was
largely instrumental in putting South
Georgia in the tobacco raising indus
try is at the present time, according
to industrial experts of the road. spar
ing no effort in assisting the farmers
to raise good tobacco and to find
profitable market.
A novel plan to aid the Georgia
growers has just been announced BY
w. w. Croxton, passenger traffic
manager of the A. B. & A. road, fol-
lowing trip to the tobacco ceuters
of Virginia and the Carolinas. He
proposes to secure tobacco experts
without expense to the growers for
supervision of the tobacco crop This
will be done by securing farm homes
and small acreage for prospective
settlers on tobacco lands and in re-
turn for the free use of the lands the
experts will personally take charge of
the tobacco acreage for the owner of
the land
1t is stated here that growers who
have already prepared for tobacco by
building barns will find the plan pro-
fitable. as the assistance of the experts
is given without cost and it will en-
able growers to obtain better grade
and increase their crop, {
Before the world war, experts here
show tobacco in South Georgia was
/ sold at a profit for ten cents a pound
and with the decreased cost of ferti-
lizer and farm labor a profitable crop
may be raised.
Mr.. Croxton says his faith in tobacco
as money crop for South Georgia re-
mains mistaken. II is merely a prob
lem, he states, of producing the bet
ter grades. -. -

FLASHES of Action"
At Grand Monday
Great War Film A Rare Treat To
People of Fitzgerald

On Monday next at the Grand The
atre will be presented the official war
film FLASHES of Action" taken under
heavy fire by the expert photographs
er of the war department. 1t affords
the people of Fitzgerald and Ben Hill
County an opportunity of at last see
ing for themselves what actually hap
pened in France. Taken at the cost
of many lives it holds unique posi-
ton in that it preserves for posterity
the records of the scenes of Ameri-
can troops in battle on foreign soil,
and cannot be duplicated unless the
future brings another war equally as
disastrous.
The film is being accompanied to
Fitzgerald by Lieut.. Ralph c. Bish-
op, 3rd, Division A. E. F. who will
give brief explanatory talk before
each showing. The pictures are COM
posed of six reels (fu1D taking about
an hour and forty minutes for the
showing.
!, "Flashes of Action is all that its
name implies.
1t is the real thing because it is an
official moving picture of the World
War made by photographers of the
army signal corps, showing actual bat
tie scenes and the American Army in
action. 1t includes everything from
the pier in Hoboken to the silent
crossing, "row and row" in Flanders
fields. Artillery fire by day and by
night is depicted with remarkable
clearness, and maneuvers on land in
the air and even on the sea are shown
exactly as they were experienced bv
the boys who went over.
Infantry charges. battles of the ar
submarine attacks and night battles
are set forth as they actually took
place.
The picture shows the really big
guns of the American forces as they
, rapidly belched forth the steel and
lead that went flying to the German
trenches and avenged the wrongs
done the world freedom. Shippers going
about deadly work in the darkness of
the night may be seen as plainly on
the screen as they were seen by the
boys overthere.
Thrilling fights in the air are also
shown, including Capt. Eddie Ricken-
hacker and Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt
leading air squadrons in raids on the
enemy trenches.
But with all this, no picture of the
war could be complete without giving
some insight to what may be called
the domestic" life of the American
soldiers in France. Perhaps the cam
era man realized this important fact
and they shot few feet of typical
French troop trains bound for the
front. In all its hideousness and. grim
reality the fatal inscription, 40 hon.
mes. 8 chevaux," is presented in
closeup" of what soldiers of the A.
E. F. termed French "Pullmen". but
known to the French railway men as
box cars.

EDWARD Q. LOWRY
4 Writer o. Recognized Authority
: Oh National Governments
Business Methods.

No Washington correspondent is bet
ter known or more highly esteemed
than Edward G. Lowry. That in it.
self means that he has broad and deep
knowledge of national and world af-
fairs; that he is skillful in getting the
news and tactful in writing it, and
that he has the confidence of the pub
aic men with whom ne comes in con-
tact. But Mr.. Lowry has more than
that. He has the really patriotic feel
ing that the intimate knowledge of the
nations affairs, which he acquires
through his work in Washington,
should be impaired to the people of
the country who have not his privileges,
in such way that they will be led to
take that personal interest in the doings
of the government, which alone will
result in good government. He wants
the people to realize that it is their
government, anSwerable to them only,
and that they only are responsible
for its good qualities and its bad quail
tiles. 1t is this feeling that has in
spired much of Mr.. Lowry's best work.

was educated in private schools, the

career at the age of twenty-four. In
1904 he was sent to Washington and

ever since. He has been the political
correspondent of Harper's Weekly, has
written many articles for the periodi-
cal press and since 1913 has been the
Washington correspondent of the New

cradle time the managing editor of

Company at fair price. The tobacco
was stored in their warehouse at Fitz-

ped a large amount in 1920 for re-
drying.
The total amount of tobacco sold
by Mr.. Dickey was $4,000 pounds
much of which he raised himself, the
balance was forced on him at the
sales, when his floor manager would
bid more for the tobacco offered than
the foreign buyers would pay.
