PENSION MONEY
COMING SHORTLY
Tells Of efforts of Foreigners
To Undermine Constitution By
Attacks on 18th Amendment

That the pension money due the
old veterans Cf Sumter and a large
number of other Georgia counties
will probably be paid before the Rich
mond reunion in June, is the word
that has come from Governor Hard
wick, who must sign the treasury
warrant A letter from the COVER
nor to B. F. Brimberry, of Albany,
has been sent to Captain Joe Day
Stewart, of Americus, commander
of the Western Brigadefi for the in
formation Of the veterans. The let
ter follows:
''Hon B. f. Brimberry, adjutant
U. c. ", Albany, Ga. Ny Dear Mr.
Brimberry; | have your letter Of
May and have carefully noted it;
r contents. In reply | beg to state
that It IS my earnest idTG5sift and ifnten
tion to pay the balance of the pen
sions due at the earliest possible
time. ! hope and believe this can bt
done within thirty days. The pay
ment, of course, depends upon thc
condition of the state treasury. w,
are making every effort to expe
dite this payment as much as posi-
Bile. With assurance of high regard
| am sincerely yours,
"THOS. w. HARDWICK,
Governor.
Atlanta, May 10, 1922"
Inasmuch as many of the veterans
will need their pension money to as
sist them in making the trip to Rich
mond, the governors announcement
although indefinite, will prove Of in
terest to all of them. The benefits
last week at the Rylander theatel
provided $233.50, according to pres.
ent check-up. and Capt II. d. Watts
camp commander, says some dona
tions have been promised which haxe
not yet been received but which will
be needed, these being sufficient, il
received, to bring the fund up tt
$500. "Some said they would make
donations without buying tickets tc
the benefit" said Capt. Watts, "and
we hope these will make good then
promises"

Everything for Everybody
Assured at Central Maine
Fair, Waterville, Aug. %

4 rounded fair in all depart
mcnts will be thrown open to the
public by the Central Maine Fair on
tho 2Sth of August. according to
fair officials. The fair will close on
September list.
"Visitors will find the exhibit Of
each department a little fair in it
self" says Secretary Gilmore. "The
liberal premiums offered for cduca-
tional displays, totaling several hun
bred dollars, have aroused such wide
interest in the exhibition that the
kecnest kind OF competition lis as
sured"
"a big show of livestock is certain.
breeders of pure bred horses, cattle,
swine and sheep are turning out in
forces to make the livestock exhibit
ton an unusually successful one.
The fair is cooperating with the live
stock mon in an educational cam
paign to stimulate more interest in
the raising of better stock, and heavy
sales of surplus breeing stock are
expected to result from the work
done.
"Womcn and children will find
much to interest them at the fair.
Boys and girls enrolled in the club
work have entered exhibits good
enough to win prizes in many of the
open classes, in competition with the
entries of older exhibitors. Many
mothers will find they will have to
hustle to beat their daughters when
judges begin to work in the womcn's
department.
"The entertainment program which
is being worked ont in detail for each
days fair. will present the best pro-
fcssional and amateur talent it has
been possible for the fair to engage.
The leading features on the enter
tainment bill include horse racing,
vaudeville, fireworks. and auto polo.
The Midway shows will interest
everyone.
The fair management is getting
buildings and grounf7 into hurried
shape for the exhibitions.

discovered some bones of dinosaurs.
This was the first discovery of giant
reptiles in northern Asia.
The region PROMISED to be so inter
csting that Mr.. Andrews left the geolo-
gists at work and pushed on to Turin,
152 miles south Of Urga. with other
| members of the party, to meet the
caravan. He accompanied the caravan
| to Urga, planning to plunge deeper
into the heart Of Asia. But at Urga
he received letter from the fossil
hunter-in-c chief, Granger. telling Of
such rich discoveries that he hurried
back.
The dinosaurs. remains Of which
were discovered in great profusion.
We're found to belong to the Upper
Cretaceous period-the very close of
the Age of Reptiles-and to be strik-
ingy similar to those of the Rockies
| in America and those found in Europe.
On top of the dinosaur beds were
layers of mammalian fossils, belong
ing to the dawn period of mammal
life-the Eoocne. Above these were
fossils belonging to the Lower MILO
Gene. or middle period, and mingled
with these were the remains of a gil
rope or North America, but similar to
one discovered some years ago in
Baluchstan. southwest India, and
dubbed Baluchitherium - the largest
land animal known to have existed.
other findings included fossils of
rhinoceroses immense tortoises. large
carnivora. crocodiles and turtles and
enough others to make a Barnum weep
that none such still live.
These bygone animals, said Mr.
Granger bore unnistakable resem-
blanGe to those found in Wyoming, in

nosaurs and smaller running fellow
called the ostrich dinosaur.
There were other fossils. of the di-
nosaur known as Iguanodonts-a tall.
two-lcggcd hcrbivorous beast which
ranged from southern England to the
New Jersey coast.
Describing his trip, Mr.. Andrews
wrote:
I'VE reached Turin without single
accident and, as we approached the
outskirts of this Mongolian town, We
saw a large caravan and decided to
camp. Then I suddenly recognized the
American flag and realized that it was
the caravan Of the American Museum
Expedition. 1t had been FIVE weeks on
the way from kalgan and had just ar
rived one hour before US. Pretty fine
connection for 700-mile journey
across the plains. was it not? We went
over to the great rocky outcrop and
pitched our tents The caravan fol-
lowed and reached our cEcampment
one hour later. 1t was an inspiring
sight as the - camels wound up from
the plain with the American flag at
the head. 1t made me realize, as moth

| The hypothesis put forward by DIR.
| Osborn in 1900-and now confirmed to
his satsfaction-was based on the
/, fact that two great deposits of remains
| OF animals at the dawn period of
| mammalian life on the northern hem

widely separated points-the one in
Europe the other in the American
! Rockies.
| They could not have originated

spread westward from Europe and
eastward from the Rockies during the
period of early dispersal. Hence. he
held. they must have originated at
some halfway spot on the less ex-
plored side Of the globe. travelling as

and Europe on the other, before the

come over the expeditions discoveries
to date, and the promise for the flu

to get first hand reports and aid in
mapping out the campaign for the sec
ond year of the fvc-year program.
Writing with citation, on the report
received from Mr.. Andrews. DR.. Os-
born said of the fossil deposits:
This discovery gives the answer to
one OF the four great questions which
the expedition sought to solve: Name
ly. whether ancient Asia is the mother
of the life Of Europe to TIE far west,
OF North America to the far east. 1t
is a kind of realization of paleontolo-
gic Garden Of Eden-of the birthplace,
or ASi3tlC nOmelanO. from WhlCn many
kinds of reptiles and mammals spread
| westward and eastward.
The existence of such center has
long been a matter of pure theory.
We have waited until 1922 to verify
it. This veritication has come with
unexpected suddcnnoss and with a
completeness beyond our fondcst
hopes and there still remain four years
in which the great expedition. under
Roy Chapman Andrews will fill out

them, but in the long run, such a
policy of selfshness and discord
never pays. The elimination Of
this factor in business organiza-
ton is as necessary to efficient
management and progress as the
elimination Of waste. In fact
iisco:d is waste, and cooperation
Is a fine type of business thrift.
The individual employee or
member Of a business organiza-
ton should bear in mind that his
own success must always be in
proportion to the success of the
institution to which his services
are given. Thus as he cooper
ates with his co-workers to the
common good he is benefting his
own fortunes and is in turn re-
ceiving the reciprocal benefits
from his associates endeavors.
We help ourselves most when we
help each other.
There is a rightful place in or
ganized business for fair rivalry
and competition among those who
compose the personnel of any in
stitution. There must always be
the spark of initiative, and the
incentives that lead to personal
aggressiveness. Nothing is more
deadly to business progress than
a treadmill existence on the part
of those who do the work, whether
it be mental or physical.
1t is a part Of individual thrift
to cultivate accord and to prac-
tice cooperation with those with
whom we associate in our daily
duties. 1t is business thrift
upon the part of executives to
display these same qualities with
their associates and to encourage
them among their subordinates.
