During yesterdays session argument
IN opposition to the shut down pro
posal was made by Bert Parmenterr
of Lawton, who represented several OF
the opposing interests. THE price OF

the producer" said Mr.. Parmenter
Parmenter argued htat the commits

profit in the oil business, and declared
that there was no over.production. and
that the movement for a shut down

hunters say they never have seen as
many ducks as are en- the lakes south

Every available gun was on one of
these lakes today and the bags are
reported up to the limit. The duck
shooting On these lakes is better
than in any part Of the South Geor-
gia country and they annually attract
many Visitors.
The ffhomasville sports men are the
best in the country for they have an
iron-clad rule not to overstep the
limit OF the law and they always
divide literally with the folks at
home. There are four clubhouses
on the lakes and all are owned by
Thomasyille sportsmen except one
that is the property Of Northern
visitors.

FOR TURKEY DAY
Strong Football Team To Meet
Fast Americus Aggics In
Holiday Game


The local football season will come
to an end Thanksgiving, as elsewhere,
with what probably will be the equal
of the best game seen here this year.
On Thanksgiving afternoon the Fif-
teenth Tank Corps team, from Camp
Bcnning, will meet the Third District
Aggic team on the Aggie field. The
game will be called at zoo, and this
being holiday, with practically all
business suspended, large crowd is
expected.
From all the dope obtainable, both
teams are pretty evenly matched. The
Benning team last week defeated the
Columbus high school team 1876. The
Columbus high defeated the Aggies
in Columbus $50, but it was the first
game of the season for the Aggies
and the first game most of the men
on the team had ever seen or prayed.
Since then there has been a wonderful
development of the team and in the
last game the Aggie Ii held the Nor
man Park team, which is rated as
stronger than Columbus high, to a
scoreless tie.
Coaches Hatfield and Sullivan, of
the Aggie squad, feel certain that
their proteges will be able to play

HOLDS CONFERENCE
IN RAPT ATTENTION
Denies France Seeks Military AS
cendancy In Europe-Nation
Committed To Peace

WASHINGTON, Nov. Il tBy As
sociated Press) .-Aristide BRAND,
seven times prime minister Of France,
held the arms conference enrapt an
hour today, with the world for his
audience, while he told the needs of
France for a large army.
Chairman hughes called the con-
ference to order at II o'clock and in
troduced the subject of land arma-
ment by saying that there was no
problem there for the United States,
whose traditional policy was to main
tain small army, but said ne felt
full opportunity should be given all
the delegates to present their views.
Premier BRAND, rising to present
the views of France began by saying
his government was anxious to take
all measures possible to assure lasting
peace. France could not put down
her arms under present circumstan--
ces, he said, because of conditions
closely touching her national
integrity.
Critics had, he continued, that
France sought military acendency in
Europe, but the imputation was only
a cruel reproach, especially after her
record in the war. He said if ever
there was country committed to
peace, it. was France, but that since
the World War his country had gone
through many receptions and had
seen Germany refuse her Obligations.
Germany, while apparently disarm-
ed, Premier BRAND told the confer
ence, could with her present machin-
cry raise an army of 6,0G0,000 to
100000. At least 250,000 Germans
are receiving daily military instruc-
ton, he added Although a part of
Germany wants peace, another por-
ton, headed by the Dudendorffs and
others of the military caste, are con-
tinuing to preach the old Prussian
doctrines, he asserted.

STEAM LAUNDRY

w. u. BafGeld, Of Rome, Buys
Property Of Luther Hawkins
and Takes Possession

Announcement Is just made of the

by Luther Hawkins, who has been its
owner and operator for the last sew
eral months, to w. U. Bareield, of
Rome, Ga, who has already taken
possession of it and will move here
and continue a. its manager.
Mr.. Barefield is a practical laundry
man. For some years he has been
sccretary-treasurer and manager of
the Rome Laundry company, operat-
irg the only public steam laundry in
Rome, and in coming here retains his
interest in that business. His part
nor there, j. II. Porter, president of
the company, becomes manager Of the
Rome business.

ly before buying," said Mr.. Barefield,
and found that it was thoroughly
and modernly equipped. There is not
better plant in the Southeast than
this, and it is capable of turning out
the same class Of work done By the
largest and most up-to-date laundries
of Atlanta and other large cities.
Il found the plant here particular
ly fortunate in having a competent
staff Of employees and already turn
ing out first class work. Some of
these people are drawing higher
wages tdan we are paying in Rome,
but on the other hand | would be un-
able to replace them with equally
competent people for less money, and
so there probably will be few if any
changes in the personnel here.
"Therc will be some revision of

] shall be able to make some price
adjustments that will be more in line
with present day production costs and
will please the public. There are
some items in laundry operations
that have decreased cost, these being
other than labor, and it shall be our
policy to give the public the benefit
of the saving whenever possible. We
will give the people first-class service
at the best possible prices, and feel
that our honest efforts in this direc-
tion will be appreciated.

were riding was struck squarely by
a Seaboard through freight train west

ing just west of Americus at 1850
O'Clock Monday morning.
The men were driving southwark
and because of an obstructed view
of the railroad at this point, were
unable to see the coming train until
too late to stop. They were midway
across when hit. Their car, Buick
runabout, was smashed into a thous-
and pieces and scattered up the track
for hundred feet. or more. Mr..
Heron and Mr.. Oliver were thrown

car was driving and received the
heaviest shock. His injuries consist
ed of a broken hip and internal hurts,

termined Mr.. Oliver suffered a
fractured left knee and was suffer,
ing from shock. Mr.. Oliver was un,
conscious when picked up by pass
ersby and b=cught to the city hospital
in Americas, but later rallied. Mr..
Heron was conscious when brought
in, although suffering intensely. At
that time he was able to say that they
had not-obserEed the train until too
late to stop, and that their only hope
was to get across before being hit,
which they were unable to accomplish.
They were attended by Drs. Prath-
er tnd Cato, who were unable to de-
termine until observing them for a
few hours, the seriousness of their
injuries. They expressed themselves
as considering Mr.. Herron's injuries

NJ. Yates being the engineer, and j..
w. Carver, conductor, both consider

been blown for the crossing as usual.
After the crash the train was stopped
and rescue of the victims assisted.
The train was brought back to Amer

having damaged the one in use.

for the Purina Milling company, Of
ST. Louis, and Mr.. Oliver, wbo is the
son of R. S. Oliver, banker, merch-
