SAFETY SIGNS ERECTED
BY WAYCROSS AUTO CLUB

WAYCROSS, May 30. = The
Waycross Motor Club has recently
erected six signs in furtherance Of
it's wNrk. These signs were put up

ment. w. S. Rysden is chairman of

bers assisting him.
Two of the danger signs shave

at the corner of Bebeau street and
Albany avenue. These signs are red
and have printed on them in large
letters, Danger, Drive Slowly"
The two direction signs-those
put up for convenience of travel
ers-have been placed, one in
front of the court house and one at
the corner of Church street and
State street. Both of these signs
call attention to the way to follow
the Woodpecker Route out of the
city
1t is the purpose of the Waycross
Motor Club to post every mile Of

UNUSUAL BANKRUPTCY
ISSUE BROUGHT OUT

BRUNSWICK. May 29.-What is
considered by local attorneys as a
case without precedent, or at least
very unusual proceedings, was the
bankruptcy hearing called before
Referee Harry D. Reed, of Waycross
in which J. H. Morgan of Brunswick
was seeking to be adjudicated a
bankrupt.
The hearing was attended by the
creditors of Mr.. Morgan, and when
the usual showing was made by
mis- attorney, Judge e. c. Butts, a
protest was made by an Augusta at
he bankrupt
torney, representing the creditors
Of the bankrupt. 1t was alleged by
the Augusta attorney that Mr.. Nor
gan was not bankrupt and he de-
manded that a trustee, instead of a
receiver be appointed to take charge
Of the assets of ]. H. Morgan and
the Brunswick Buick Comapny.
Judge Reed agreed that trustee
be appointed, as requested. assets
to be placed in his custody until a
final adjudication of the matter was
reached.

$ DAILY Poem
Rv RERTON BRALEY

By BERTON BRALEY
When the world is all of golden
glow,
And the blood in your veins is a
tingling flow,
And joy is calling you to and fro
Where laughter echoes and songs
ring true;
It's an irksome thought that you
have to slave
At a task afar from the play you
crave,
And often and often you rail and
Al the daily work that you've GOT
to do
how glad you'd be # you dared to
drcn
The work of office or farm or shor
If you could only afford to stop
Whenever the impulse babe you to
And scamper away to have your
fling,
Like a capering lamb in the flush
of spring;
All, often enough it's wearisome
thing,
The daily work that you've GOT to
do.
But when, with sorrow and woe and
pain,
You're sick of heart and of soul and
brain,
And your courage is cracking be-
meath the strain,
And skies are sullen and gray to
view.
And then, you're glad that a task
is there
A rock to cling to mid seas of care,
And the thing that shall rescue you
from despair
Is the daily job that you've GOT
to do!

A SOLOMON ON
FINANCING FARMERS.

Some folks say that what is
the matter with this country is
not due to after-war conditions
nor to lack of legislation in be-
half of the farmer, but to the
farmers themselves, some of
whom insist on too much joy
riding, according to C. S. Walk
err, of Des Moines, president of
the Iowa Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION.
The Times-Recorder takes it
that Mr.. Walker is speaking of
conditions in his state. But, it
piled with equal force to certain
seems to US this could be APP
parts of Georgia as well as
Iowa. IT'S the automobile
that nearly ruined the farm
ers," Mr.. Walker asserts. "YOu
know a farmer will spend his
last dime for gas. Why, they are
motoring all over the country.
They pack up in the fall when
there is lull in the farm work,
and set out" In relating the
experience one farmer had with
his banker, who is Solomon
when it comes to dealing with
tde financial side of the farm
ing industry, Mr.. Walker is
quoted as saying.
The banks are doing more
than anything else to put the
farmers on their feet. They
are doing it by stopping credit.
One day farmer came into the
bank of a man | know and
wanted to get some more mon
ely. Your credit is all used up
they told him. But he insisted
that he had to have money for
legitimate farming purposes
and finally the banker said:
Well, if you'll deliver the right
front wheel of your automobile
to me as security and guaran-
tee that you won't get another.
I'll let you have it."
Of course this Indictment
cannot be subscribed to as
touching every section, even of
our own state, Georgia, nor of
this immediate section for be it
known, many farmers find auto
tomobiies of the greatest help
In marketing their farm pro-
duce. Of course it is a fine thing
for farmers and their wives to
enjoy cars going about over the
country if they can afford it,
and many of them are, but the
idea of going about with no
particular objective, especially
when needed on their farms,
does not particularly appeal to
us.

RETAIL GROCER BLAMELESS
FOR THE SUGAR GOUGE.

Agitation against the indie
feasible price of sugarI-espee
cially in the campaign being
waged by women-is helping
to exonerate the grocer from
and part in the orgy of profit
teering that has already taken
nearly $1OO,OOO,00O from the
pockets of consumers. House
wives are learning through their
Investigations and the informa-
ton that is coming to them that
the Sugar Barons give the groc-
er and small dealer very little
margin of profit in selling their
wares. The proceeds of the
"gouge" go almost wholly to the
Sugar Barons.
The women of the country
are learning that the duty on
sugar accounts for about 2.07
cents of the average price of 10
cents a pound, for which it is
selling in the groceries. The re-
taller is not to blame for the
tariff nor for the pyramiding of
the duty by the refiners, brok-
ers and wholesalers. For the
most part the retail grocer sells
his sugar practically at cost
when the time he spends and the
bags and Irvine he used in wrap
ping it are taken into account.
All the millions that have
been plundered from the Amer
lean people since last February
have gone to the sugar Barons,
for whom the Republican tariff
was enacted. They haven't di-
vided the spells with any one
else.

The larger cities like Atlanta
are more afflicted than any of
the small twons, and we believe
that the negro dives which in
fest Decatur street nAtlanta,
as well as some places where
the white youths and men
sqaunder away valuable time,
so much much needed in our in
dustries and on our farms, they
should not be allowed to con
gregate in these places and then
these dives would be obliged to
close up without cluttering our
law-making machinery with
further legislation than we now
have a law to cover this very
point aimed at the proposed bill

WOODRUFF OF DE KALB
AFTER THE POOL ROOMS.

The pool room in Georgia
now promises to be a. storm
center when the Georgia legis-
latUre meets next month if rep
resentative Albert J. Woodruff
of the county Of De Kalb keeps
his health and gets into action
as hopes to d..
Woodruff is a business man
and has close dealings with the
lumber men of the country, and
they complain to him of a short
age of laborers, and yet when
ne makes personal visits to all
the dives around Atlanta he
finds from Is to SO men and
boys in each place wasting their
time, their health and destroying
their souls in these gambling
dens which are commonly
known as pool rooms.
Now comes another solon,
Herbert Clay, president of the
senate who declares that he will
fight the proposed bill of Wood
ruff. To quote Mr.. Clay: ITO
pass such law would be a ser
ious attack on the liberty of the
citizens of this state. / am not
in favor of dives or resorts of
vice, but believe that Decatur,
cambridge or Rabun Gap
should regulate their own pool
rooms and let Atlanta, Way
cross and Tybee Light have bill
lard parlors if they want them.
That's democracy"
Without discussing the merits
or the dement's of the proposed
legislation, there seems to be
too much loafing, especially in
laborers, and if the abolition of
the pool rooms of the low type
is not way out, then it seems
to us that the authorities in the
respective communities affected
with the menace should get into
