that it is rotten; we have found the
weak 5. eel structure, and VIZ do nOt care
to build upon it.
Gentlemen, are we going to stand Tor
this. would rather 90 down 10 defeat
than to submit to something that mas
been secretly thrusted upon US as ms
Senate Biz has been. The bill Walch IS
now before the Senate did not emanate
from us; and that's why | say let US pro
ceed by a res button. The merits or de-
merits Of the resolution have rot been
discussed here much; the first three para
graphs of it relate 70 the source. !
don't think it needs argument to know
that the bill was placed into the hands
of Senator Mclean by self-constltated
parties The resolution which is now be
fore the House does not say that the
Colonial Council of ST. Cg0iX or the C0Io-
NAL Council OF St. Thoma5 and ST. John
or any member disagrees with the idea
of having civil government for these
islands. | have been a 5Jaunch sup
porter of civil government, and l feel
that when the time comes we Will have
it. But The time has not yet arrived.
In bringing into the NOR OF
the United States some thirty-seVen
states. so far as have studied,
every constitutional state sent its pro
posed enabling act to Congress and it
kept on gong back and forth until it was
satisfactory.
Il may Be considered absurd to ask
Congress to send the bill here to us be
fore taKjag action upon it. Legally it IS
not binding upon Congress to do so, but
morlIjy it's binding on them 10 do so.
Wat we are up against Is, Congress rs
NOT studying all the local laws doHn here,
Tlat's the reason why | ask that We
draw their atten ion to them. | admi
that Congress has acted WiJhouC our con
sent, but | also admit that Congress mas
NOT done 50 Intentionally.
AS to the last paragraph Of the r=so-
luton the Member is trying 10 put suyar
in vinegar to make it sweet. He is try
ing to build on a week structure.
1t would be far afrom democracy for
AIRY one to say | Will snap this o;er you.
so amend it quickly. Are we COINS to
do it? No. we are going to vote for a
resolution. If any one wishes to advO-
cate a civil government for these islands
| think there is ample time to frame a
bill that will be suitable to local condi-
tons.

to have one Colonial Council for the two
j lands. Such a proposal, if adopted,
would deprive the best brains Of this
,Iand Of an opportunity to participate in
he political affairs Of this island. In
my earnest opinion the frame work and
foundation of this Senate Bill is so poor
that no amendment could be made
to it. | recommend the resolution to the
favorable consideration OF members.
3rd Appointed Member for St. Thomas
(NoLte) remarked: Mr.. Chairman. Pro

bled here to discuss a resolution and not
to make amendment to Senate BiII No.
z786. 1t seems to me that if it does not
lack in brain it is lacking in adaptabiIity.
AS to the secrecy concerning the bill
that has been explained, but | have a
suspicion myself. This bill has been the
result of false p~retences and propaganda
work. The bill is lacking in its frame
work, so much 50 that it cannot be
amended. We are here to adopt a Ies0-
luton and not to make corrections lie a
Senate bill. The question is whether 1t
should be "COuntenanced or not. Not only
that II does not suit us, but 1T has not
been carried through the right way. To
my mind it will do US the greatest harm
in the world. We can hardly amend it
as it is. We want the people who think
they are doing us a favor to know that
they are doing US a harm. 1t is saying
d great deal to say that the seven years
of American occupation Of these islands
have been wasted. don't think anyone
can justly say that these islands have
refrigerated under the present Govern
ment. Mr.. Chairman. row move that
this resolution, moved by thirteen mem
bers of the Colonial Council Of ST. Thorn

members of the Colonial Council Of St.

The Chairman remarked: 10 the first
place some members of the ST. Thomas
and ST. John Council have already sig
nited to me that they have some minor
changes to make to the resolution. For
the purpose of bringing the views of
both Councils into harmony upon the
bill | will give a recess after which a
committee Will be appointed to receive
and report on he resolution, but before
doing so | will read a communication re.

MRS. MARY D. CARL

On Friday morning, at an early
hour the spirit of Mrs Mary D. Carl
the widow of VIM. Carl, passed to its
eternal reward at her home 207 west
Altamaha St.
Mrs. Carl had not been we'll for
some years and for the last six months
had been almost helpless. About
midnight the night before she died
she took much worse, and quietly fell
asleep early Friday morning.
Funeral services were conducted by
her pastor from the Chapel of the I'm
dertaklng rooms on Saturday morning,
Nov. 5th at II o'clock. Quite a num-
Der of her friends had gathered and
joiend the only son in fitting serv-
ice for this worthy mother.
After the services her body was laid
to rest in Evergreen cemetery.
Mrs Carl was born near Terre Haute
Ind, March 20, 1886 and was in her
89th year She moved with her parents
to Wisconsin and was married to Will
liam Carl at Muscoda, Wis.,, Oct, TO-
1859. Two children, both boys, were
born to her. The first born dying in
infancy. She was survived by the 9th
er, Edward, who has lived with and
cared for her most of these years.
Mrs. Carl had been a school teach
er and taught several years, before and
after her marriage. She knew some
thing of frontier life having lived in
Wisconsin South Dakota and Minnie
sofa in early days. Her life was Civ
en- to ministering to others as her hus-
band was preacher in the Congre-
gational Church
She with her family moved to Fitz-
gerald in 1897. She and her husband
united with the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church under Rev. ]. Miller in
1907. In 1913 Mr.. Carl left her for
his spiritual home since which time
she has been alone except for the COM
panionship of her son.
The testimony of her son is that she
was a good Christian woman
splendid mother and when younger
was the good Samaritan to many needy
families and individuals. Those who
knew her esteemed her very highly.

Dispute Over Road
Leads To Gunfight
Temporary Injunction Granted to Be
Heard January 8

The longstanding dispute over a
road northwest of the city between
Sidney Clare and D. J. Seigler. George
Drexler and others. led to a shooting
affray Sunday forenoon when Mr..
Clare, Barry Clare and their tenant
Oliver Brown, met the contending
parties on the disputed ground.
Mr.. Clare received the contents Of
two loads of birdshot in his body, be-
ing scattered from head to foot, with
out causing any serious wounds, he
being shot by Mr.. D. 7. Seigler, who,
with his party, refused to leave the land

originated over the proposed change
of routes made by the post office de-
partment in conjunction with the
county commissioners some time ago

Monday all parties were put under
bond, warrants being sworn out for
each other for assault with intent to
murder and to hold the peace. Messrs.

$26S,OOOFor Hospital

Atlanta, December L. Hospital
funds of $2o5,000 will be raised by
! Methodists in Georgia and Alabama
according to members of the general
hospital board, with headquarters in
Atlanta, and in addition Emory Uni
versity has agreed to cover every dol
lar with another for this charity work
that may be secured thru Golden Cross
enrolment in Georgia.
Two Albania Conferences have
pledged themselves to raise 100000
for the building program of the new
Montgomery Memorial Hospital to
be opened for patients January 18th,
1925.
The North Georgia Conference
pledged itself to raise $4,000 thru the
Golden Cross enrolment for the free
bed and part-pay work of Wesley
Memorial hospital in Atlanta. The
South Georgia Conference pledged to
raise $4,000 for the same cause.
Emory University has agreed to
cover every Golden Cross dollar with
another for this charity work. So that
every dollar paid in thru the Golden
Cross will at once double itself and

Cali this will be for the sick poor
of Georgia without regard to creed"
says statement of the General Hos

NEW INDUSTRY IN
DOUGLAS ATTRACTING
WIDESPREAD ATTENTION

Atlanta, Dec. Establishing a
plant at Douglas with unlimited pine
stumps for material, the U. S. Mer-
camille Company, Differed by Geor-
gians, has begun making turpentine
and kraft paper out of once worth
less product, according to reports re-
ceived here.
The turpentine is squeezed from the
stumps and a pulp made from the
stumps is converted into kraft paper.
Five hundred gallons of pure turpen-
tine, more in some instances, have
been turned out each day following
the experiment of the first few days.
The process has been patented. About
fifty tons of the stumps were used
each day.
Tobacco growers in the neighbor-
hood of the plant, who have cleared
their land, have received enough for
their top wood and stumps at the
turpentine mill to reimburse them for
the cost of clearing and stamping, it
is stated. The mill pays from five to
six dollars cord when the wood is
delivered. Each acre of land is said
to average from seven to fifteen corsd.
I Success of the newest process of
| turning what was once regarded as
waste into provt has engaged the at
tention of number of financial lead
ers in the heart of the stump country,
who recognize it as great develop
ment, reports state. Additional capt.
tai will be interested in the event
plans for enlargement are considered,
it is said.
Millions of pine stumps which are
obtainable in South Georgia will fur
nish material for the new plant for
many years to come, according to Of
fcials of the Douglas plant.
