DISTRICT ROAD
BONDS WERE
DISCUSSED

At a recent meeting OF the Cham
Der of Commerce, proposed bond is
sue for completion of the Dixie High
way was taken under consideration.
According to reports from the Ware
county Chamber of Commerce, a dis
trict is proposed to be formed includ
ing the counties of Ware, Coffee, r.
win, Ben Hill, Wilcox, Pulaski and
Houston, similar to the district form
ed for the Coastal Highway.
Bonds in sufficient amount are to be
voted for to pave the entire route OF
the Central Dixie Highway to the
Ware county line, which county has
practically all its roads paved or funds
on hand to complete its paving pro-
jects. Ware county, however, is ready
to include itself in the bonding pro-
ject and contribute its full share to the
completion of the route through the
other counties.
A committee was appointed to Sc
cure more definite information in re-
gard to the proposal, to report at the
next meeting of the organization.

SYNOPSIS OF WEATHER
AN DCROP CONDITIONS
IN GEORGIA FOR WEEK

ATLANTA, Ga, April 22-During
the past week showers occurred only
at few northern places and at the
close of the week over the Savannah
Aver basin from Augusta to Savan-
where they were beneficial. 9th
ef~@hse the week was characterized by
bright, sunny. warm weather, temper
atures averaging much above the nor
NAL. In most sections the need of rain
is just beginning to be felt and mod
crate drought prevails in some ex-
IRENE southern and southwestern coun
ties. AS a whole, however, the week
was exceptionally favorable; many cor
respondents state that conditions were
ideal, and not single unfavorable re-
port was received. Planting cotton,
corn, peanuts and minor crops was
pushed with greatest vigor.
lanting cotton and corn are practi-
caly finished over the southern divi-
sion, nearly two thirds completed ov-
er the central division and advancing
rapidly in the north. Much cotton

FREDERICK M. GRAHAM

The entire community has been
touched by the death of Mr.. Fred M.
Graham as he was loved by all his
assoc ates and held in highest esteem
by all who knew him.
He was born in independence, Kan
Sas on December 10, 1881 and lived
with his parents i'll many different pla-
ces in the north while his father pur
sued his trade as bridge builder. In
1895 the family moved to Fitzgerald
including the parents Mr.. and Mrs.
John Graham, three sons and little
daughter who was the second among
the colonist families to die. For many
years and until few years ago the
Graham Lumber Co., was one of the
established firms OF the city, Fred be-
ing the bookkceper for the firm which
included his father and two brothers.
In May. 1905 Mr. Graham was united
in marriage with Miss Bonnie Cure
ton, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. w. L. Daugherty of the Central
Christian Church. For a number of
years Mr.. Graham was a member of
the U. B. Church in this city but to
gether with his wife he later Joined
the First Baptist church of which he
remained a faithful member until his
death.
In 1911, Mr.. Graham was elected as
tax collector for Ben Hill County and
retained this office to the present time.
! In babyhood Fred suffered a severe
attack of pneumonia that caused his
affliction of curvature of the spine, a
handicap that he bore with great cheer
fulness, meeting the world and its car
es with fortitudc and always wearing
smile that even death did not take
from his features.
A second attack of pneumonia two
years ago greatly weakened his con
stitution so that the third and last at
! tack overcame him. He passed away
quite peacefully in his own pretty
home last Thursday afternoon, April
10Th, 1925.
The funeral services were held at
the home on Saturday afternoon Revs.
]. F. Singleton and c. S. Olff both
taking part. Mr.. Burr Stokoe led in
the singing of some favorite hymns.
Floral tokens were lavishly bestowed
by kind friends, some of them being
of exceptional beauty,
The survivors are his devoted moth
err, his brothers Will and Roy now
living in Florida but present at the
funeral, another brother Alec and a
Sister in New York and his loving wife
and two daughters, Gussie and Freida
Interment was made in Evergreen
Cemetery where Fred was laid beside

menced in few southern counties.
Flowing and planting lowlands is
progressing favorably. White potatoes
are doing we'll; sweet potatoes have all
been beeded, and have sprouted well;
many plants are ready and transplant
ing to the fields will be commenced as
soon as rain falls. Tobacco plants have
mostly been set out and need rain.
Sugar cane and peanuts are coming up
fine. GOATS and wheat are beginning to
head rather low on account of dry
weather. Pastures are good, beginning
to need moisture and cattle are i'm

strawberries are ripening. Progress in
planting and general agricultural con-
ditions at present are better than they
have been for several Nears.

COOPERATION OF FARM
AND INDUSTRY URGED

CLEVELAND, o, April p - A
closer cooperation between American
industry and agriculture is necessary
to offset any European coalition that
NAV threaten the commercial strength
of the United States, speakers declar-
ed in the third national conference OF
the movement for "better understand
ing between industry and agriculture"
here yesterday.
The conference held in conjunction
with the twenty-seventh annual con-
vention oft he National Metal Trades
association, was attended by indus
trial executives, government officials
and representatives of farm organi-
cations with upwards of 100000 mem
bers.
The better understanding move
ment is based on realization that thru
Lack of understanding and indifference
there has been a huge national loss in
wastage and undeveloped wealth" H.
H. Lewis, of Washington, executive
|; director of the movement, explained.
"The conference will proceed on the
conviction that America is confronted
with a new isolation; that our poses
sion of bound1es national resources in
raw materials, oil. ore, cotton, etc, as
we'll as much ofthe worlds gold has
engendered a feeling of envy of the
United States by other nations that
must be recognized" Mr.. Lewis said.
"No one can foresee what foreign al
liances detrimental to American indus
try and agriculture may come into be-
ing in the meantime, every instinct OF
self-preservation of harmony and uni
ty in these great producing classes"
R. w. Dunlap, assistant secretary
of agriculture, and Ray M. Hudson

scheduled speakers at the morning
session.

IT'S easy to do better, cheaper,
i quicker cooking on an oil range
. that directs its heat just where it will
do the most good. The Florence Range
sends its flame right straight to the
bottom Of the pot, where there is work
forit. This is the principle Of ocusedheat.
You waste no time or energy in
printing, in trimming messy wicks, or
in cooking on a weak flame. Nor do
you need to waste fuel on a strong
fame when low fame will do the job
- simply turn the levers and you have
whatever degree of cooking heat you
need.
The Florence burns a clear, gas-ike
fame from the vapor of kerosene. 1t
is not a wick fame, such as you see IN
an ordinary lamp.

d by Sand and Torn by Waves on Coast of Red Sea

A day or two later we went TO see
the tomb of Mother Eve, which lies in
the desert just outside the town walls,
The grave is several hundred feet
long. Three domeS mark the posi-
zion of her head, feet and waist, and
two low walls, a yard or so apart,
connect them. We found that the
tomb was not regarded with great re-
spect by the Mahommedans-and why
should it be? Islam would ask-for
after all, it is only the tomb of a
/ woman, even If she was the mother
of mankind.
This story was to have been a long
one. 1t was to have told how the
Wisdom was repaired, and how she
triumphantly went through the Med
iterranean, sailed across the Atlantic,
and arrived back in America with her
strange and picturesque crew, after
circumnavigating the globe. But, in
stead, the tale is quite different from
the one l had planned.
= and the thrice cursed Red Sea,
wind still blew from the north, and
we could not venture out to sea.
| Then, as the wind still continued, on
| the eleventh day we hired an old
| native pilot and, sailing by day and
anchoring at night, the Wisdom pain
fully crept up the inland passage
within the reefs toward Suez.
| 1t took US 10 more days TO cover
four-fifths of the distance, for It
| turned out that the pilot. who spent
most of his time trying to convert US
! to Mohammeda nism, knew only part
of the way; then we picked up coast
! fisherman, and when his knowledge
| failed felt our way along with lead
| line.
| And all this time the wind blew
| steadily from the north, preventing
| the Wisdom. in her crippled condition,
from coming out from behind the
protection of the reefs. At last, when
only few miles from SueZ. the wind
shifted dead around and, for the first
| time since we had been wrecked over
! three weeks before. it blew from the
south. Oh, that thrice-cursed con-
trary Red Sea,
At Suez we found it was impossible
| to get the ship repaired as we wished
and half the crew fell i'll from a fever
contracted on the Arabian coast-so
we took a chance and sailed for Italy.
Luck was now with us, and we made
port in Savona, in Italy, and prepared
to go in dry dock.
Then, after the Wisdom was made
sea worthy, it was to be westward no
for America,
We moved TO a rented villa, leav-
ing aboard one of the Greeks that
evening for night watchman. The
next morning we were awakened by
the excited local ship chandler.
Your ship, she burn
He rushed us to the water front in
his automobile. But we had come too
late. There, out in the stream, where
the night before had been the little
Wisdom, stu white and graceful and
lovely despite her long wanderings
and many late buffetings, was a hulk
all smoke and flames.

House of Allah, the sacred shrine for
the Holy Pilgrimage of Islam. Thus
it Is said to be the Port of Paradise.
Accompanied by Taylor, Cooper,
Mcneil and Schoedsack, ! landed to
ask temporary aid while waiting for
the north wind to abate SO that we
could crawl on up to SueZ. We en-
tered the town through the great gate
which leads directly into the bazaar.
Here was the heart of the Port of
Paradise.
In that squalid square and through
the little dark streets teemed the life
of all the East-thick-li Tipped, shiny
black African slaves; fezzed Turks;
ragged wandering dervishes; lepers

of the ways; turbaned Indians: naked
brown boys on donkeys; black-robed,
! barefooted women, peering out of the
eye.slits of face masks from which
hung rows of silver and gold and
brass coins, and a hundred other
| types.
But most distinctive of all we're the
| desert Bedouins. A caravan of hun
| dreds Of camels had just come in, and
through these the crowd squirmed
and jostled. The camel men, faces as
hard and dry as their sun-baked
plains, cast fierce glances at any who
dared to brush near them. Each car
| ried a curved sword or knife, and
seemed prepared to use 1t.
A ND among all this outpouring of
4 the sea and desert--the dregs left
| over from many a Mecca pilgrimage
and the native human wolves and
| jackals who prey on the pilgrims,
we walked, the only Europeans.
| We were in a maze of tall, white
houses of four and five and even six
acknowledgements of the East. The
| houses were made of coral rock and
mud and wood. Not one stood
straight They leaned at every angle,
except Heavenward. 1t looked as if

down as easily as a child's city Of
