COLUMBUS, Oct. S.-When

Young Stribling, one of his fore
most challengers, in a ten round
heat 30 4 lei rvus decision, he viii
undoubtedly be- taking the biggest
risk of his fistie career.
Right now, the Irish idol has
staring him ID the face a fortune
of half a million dollars. When it
is taken into consideration that the
Light Heavyweight King has
matches pending with Harry Greb,
Tom Gibbons, Gene Tummey and
Carpenter, it can be readily seen
how easy it will be for him to
amass a fortune Of 100000, hence
his coming bout with Stribling IS
without a doubt a tremendous risk
as this marks the first appearance
of MeTigue really defending his
worlds crown in a decision con-
test since winning same from Bat

Sikh.
Furthermore, in Stribling, Me

PIRATE TREASURE


pirates really mere sea sneak thieves whose
usual loot consisted nothing more than grain
and other food stuffs.-Sr Basil Thompson)
Oh, Captain Kidd a Pirate bold &
Who sailed the roaring seas
On many trip he seuttled ship ia
For the sake of peck of peas
With his Pirate Horde ship he'd board
And battle from stem to poop
For garden stuff and some canned plum-duff
And gallon or two of soup
bseysaNsrA~@sgssS - ,azsglg2
Cid biackbeard TOO, with his evil crew,
All scoundrels of bloody fk.
Would fight, perhaps, for cask of sehnapps
Or a cargo ofmalted milk,
They were stepped in crimes, and at various times
They battled in rash
For mess of greens and some Boston beans
And dinner of corned-beef hash.
They would fight fleet for some deviled meat
Or some real blackberry jam,
And die for the sake Of a chocolate sake
Or slice of cold boiled ham.
So the treasure hid by Captain Kidd
Or any old pirate bold.
Would prove, no doubt, if you traced it out.
To lack any sign of gold;
And when you'd dug like a doodle bug
Led on by the pirates plans
You'd find alas! some figs in glass.
And lot of sardine cans

TRAIN OUR
YOUNG MEN.

Why is Americas a mercantile
center, the leader Of its section,
and yet has no manufacturing?
This question was asked us the
other day by a successful local
business man, a man who thinks,
man with vision and intelligence.
/ Probably the real reason is that
up to recent years merchandising
was profitable and Ithe absolute
need of manufacturing did not
exist.
The merchant brings up his boy
in his store. The boy eventually
succeeds dad. 1t is just a success
sion Of son following in dads
steps. Had the merchant been
manufacturer, the boy probably
would have gone into that end
of the game.
We. are merchants or bankers or
professional men largely because of
environment. We will be manufac-
'turers when we think in terms of
manufacturing rather than mer-
chandising.
If you would change, then start
the young men into a business that
makes our raw products finished
article. In reality the lions share
of profit is the manufacturing
end.
Recent articles in the Griffin
News and Sun, citing facts why
Griffin should be one of the great
est textile centers in the state and
in the South, and the enumeration
of various industries in connection
with Griffin's large textile mills
have read and pondered well, if re-
ports coming to that newspaper are
true, says the editor of the News
and Sun, and he continues:
We have reliable information
that several young men are now
figuring on entering some of the
lines of endeavor suggested in
our editorials. Already negotia-
tions are being made for suita
BILE buildings and we feel sure
that in a short time we will be
in position to give the names of
these parties and the kind of
industries that they propose to
engaged in.
The milk in the cocoanut is that
Griffin young men are planning en-
tering manufacturing in Griffin.
That is one way of holding our
young men at home.
The small industry grows into a
large one. The young man in time
becomes a force to be reckOned
with in his line. Let's turn our
tthought from merchandising 10
manufacturing. Send the boy to
textile schools and he'll do the rest.
The beginning must be made at
home.
THE Griffin News and Sun says it
has been reliably Uniformed that
some 100 people are studying the
cotton mill business in Griffin
through a we'll known correspond
ence school, many of them women,
which. is conclusive proof that its
people are preparing to engage in
the textile or manufacturing bust

GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN


AT the beginning of the year
Elder H. M. Melton, pastor of
Button Baptist church, pro-
posed to its members to plant
and cultivate one acre for the
Lord. Seven members agreed
and signed a written contract to
that effect. The news item
states it as a fact that the sew
en- acres have not been touched
by the boil weevil, and that the
seven farmers who consecrated
an acre each to the work of the
church are prospecting in every
thing they planted while their
neighbours crops are failures, their
cotton being totally destroyed
by the weevil. Thirty conversions
have taken place in that church,
and they will take the Lord into
their farming operations next
year.-Moultrie Observer.

Frogs,
Drunken Turtles,
In Liquor Orgy

Detective Springman blew into
headquarters today from an inves-
tigation of a still on the premises
of Thurston Goodrill at Burnt
Hills. Md, close to which the body
of James Adams was found yes
terday, bringing with him a fish
story of a wierd variety. Only
the story dealt with frogs. turtles
and spring keepers instead of fish.
Near the home Of Goedrill was
pond or small reservoir wherein
was dumped eighteen barrels of
mash. The water had no sooner
become saturated that the inhab-
itants became soaked. A drunken
orgy followed, Springman declared.
Turtles, the slowest of the slow.
hoped around like kangaroos and
were extraordinarily expeditions
in their manner OF walking and
swimming. The frogs had bully
time; they crawled on logs and
jumped off into space, caring not
where they landed.
Spring-keeperS also got in on
the party and several tried to
make for land. but they were SO
Intoxicated they became groggy.
MIR. Springman certainly had a
choice story-and He believes 1t.
