GEoRG1A's GREAT opPoRTUN1TY-All

Georgia was represented at the meeting in Allan
ia Friday, called by the Savannah Board of Trade
present the project to hold World Maritime
Exposition in commemoration of the Tooth ami
versary of the Crossing OF the Atlantic by the
steamboat Savannah" from the Savannah harbor.
The unanimity with which the project was received
by the people from the interior and especially the
leading citizens of Atlanta augurs well for the
cess of the proposed world event.
The project is one in which all sections OF the
state must join and reap its benefits through the
world wide publicity which such an exposition will
secure through the sources of newspapers and
magazines of all nations and all languages. The
merchant marine OF the world will be in attendance
this being proposed as in measure to establish
peaceful relations OF all nations and as a show
to demonstrate the naval strength OF ours or a
foreign nation. Whatever brings Georgia or any
OF its parts into favorable prominence helps every
other section OF the state But in this instance the
interior OF Georgia, through the modern and fast
developing mode OF auto travel and rapidly built
State Highways all the state will be on exhibition
as tens OF thousands will travel from the west
east and north through the state to reach Savan-
nah
We here in Fitzgerald, must arouse interest in
a State Highway from Mississippi and Alabama
via Albany, through Fitzgerald and McRea to
Savannah direct route for the thousands OF auto
mobile parties which would come from the south
western states to this World Fair. A veritable
Land Show, one continuous exposition of the re-
sources OF Georgia, showing the productivity and
versatility OF our lands to the home seekers OF
m he
take in the Spring, Summer and Fall of 1926, the
sowing, growing and harvesting seasons no bet
ter means OF presenting the advantages OF our sec
ton.
Let all OF Georgia awake to this opportunity to
bring its wonderful resources to the attention OF
the home seekers from every cline

posed favored legislation "You vote for my bill
and I'll vote for yours" is the battle cry THE pro-
visions of my bill will not affect your territory and
nobody anyhow" The custom of course, is
the outgrowth of the Washington pork barrel
scramble where favored noses are so brazenly
thrust into the national money trough There it
is bad enough, but when the practice is brought
more nearly home the effect is demoralizng. IN
principled legislators enabled to entrench them
selves in office firmly that it soon becomes next

A divorce court judge of Chicago has
broken down with his strenuous labors
of the past two years having heard
more than $500 cases. Judge SABBATH
says it is the concern over children in
volved in these cases whose custody he
must legalize that has made lbs work
so hard, and caused his illness. OF
course he always acts as mediator try
ing to reconcile couples whose differ
ences are subject to remedy
His experience in this line has not
made him pessimistic about marriage
He said the most OF marital troubles
are innate selfishness, and wanting too
much luxuries and a good time. Either
one is too ready to blame the other
for what they cannot have and rush to
a divorce court when crossed in their
wishes, and too unconcerned about
their children's future.
He says for young people to be SIRE
they really love aud then a good job
and a good girl and struggle for a
home is what they need to be happy.
