Connecting Link at Eufaula of the
Highway Named in Honor of
President of the Confederacy.
Thousands Will Be There.

An event of special interest to the
oeople of Dawson and Terrell county
: the announced completion of the
Memorial bridge on the Jefferson Da-
- Highway at Eufaula, Ala, con-
necting link for the route between
Georgia and Alabama. The citizens Of
Fnfaula are making elaborate prepare
lions to entertain the large crowd Of
Ceorgians and their homefolks with a
barbecue furnished by the civic clubs
ri that historic city on the bluff of the
Chattahoochee.
The Jefferson Davis Highway,
which passes through our city and
connects Montgomery, Ala. with Rich
,nond Va, the two former capitals
n the Confederate states, follows the
historic route taken by Jefferson Da-
Wis and his party on their trip through
Georgia in the effort to reach the Gulf
coast. Mr.. Davis and his party were
caDtured near Irwinville, through
which the highway passes and where
the state of Georgia has been granted
the land where the party camped dur
inc that fateful night, and upon which
suitable monument is to be erected.
Entering Georgia from South Carroll
ma at Augusta the route proceeds
through Louisville, Wrightsville Dub
lin Eastman and Abbeville (where
Mr.. Davis camped the night preced-
inc his capture), Fitzgerald, Ashburn,
Sylvester, Albany, Dawson, Cuthbert
md Georgetown
The bridge will be officially opened
on December 18th, Governor Brandon
Of Alabama and Governor Walker Of
Georgia participating. Special invita-
tions have been extended to the people
OF Georgia living along the Jefferson
Davis Highway through the civic
clubs OF Eufaula and its chamber Of
commerce, and preparations to feed
ten thousand people are in charge OF
Navor Corners of Eufaula.
The Confederate veterans, the
Daughters OF the Confederacy and the
civic clubs of Dawson and Terrell
county should turn out in body and
show their interest in the promotion
Of this historic highway.

OPENING OF DA Wis MEMORIAL,
BRIDGE TO BE A GALA EVENT
AN UNKNOWN SENDS CHECK
TO HELP RELIEVE SUFFERING
Second Contribution Received From
An ANONYMOUS Source.

A human interest story that has
brought joy to more than one heart
in Dawson, and about which hovers
mystery-Which never fails to produce
a thrill to young and old alike-be-
came known when a second anony-
nous check was received by Mrs.
Dan Finn to be used for charitable
purposes in the city. The generous
donor, few months ago, contribut-
ed to an appeal made for money with
which to supply brace for a little
girl who was unable to walk. The
second and larger check, which was
sent through lawyer OF Boston,
Mass, is to be used toward paying
taxes and making repairs on the home
of most deserving widow of the city.
The popular opinion seems to be
that citizens of our large citieS-par-
ticularly those of the eastern states
are "hard-boiled," but once in while
comes some incident similar to this
to prove that there's 50 much bad in
the best of us and so much good in
the worst of us that it hardly behooves
any of us to be talking about the rest
of u.s."
Although the desire OF the unknown
contributor will be respected and his
identity remain a secret our hats are
off to the authenticated gentleman.

AS IMPORTANT TO FERTILIZE
OATS AS ANY OTHER CROP
County Agent Tells Best Method to
Get Greatest Yield.

Fertilizer for the oat crop is just as
essential as fertilizer for cotton and
other crops, according to a statement
of A. E. Gibson, county agent. Ex
periments with fertilizing oats on soils
similar to those predominating in Ter
rell county reveal the fact that from
three to FIVE hundred pounds of 10
per cent acid phosphate to the acre
should be used when the oats are
planted and followed with an appli
cation of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda
the latter part of February or the first
of March Where this method Of fer
tilization has been practiced the yield
has been increased as high as 100 per
cent under general farm conditions.
Early planting of oats is OF vital
importance, and planting should by
all means be finished by the second
week in December 1t is much better
to plant the first part of November,
but due to large cotton crop and
the scarcity of labor. together with
the recent excessive rains, many farm
ers still Fave their oats to plant. More
farmers should plant oats; they pre-
vent washing, improve the land and
come in at a time when feed on the
average southern farm is very scarce.
The cost OF production is small, as no
cultivation is required, and 1t IS among
the real easy crops to produce. 1t is
hoped that farmers OF Terrell county
will plant an unusually large acreage
in oats, for they will be needed for
feed next spring and summer.

Airplanes bombed the quarters held

Shoeworkers Need
Amalgamation to Put
New Life Into Union
BY S. SEIDEL
Worker Correspondentl


BROOKLYN, N. Y. Dec. Z. - The
conditions in the shoe trade in Brook
Ign, N. Y. are going from bad to
worse. The organizations existing are
helpless. The Protective has not yet
grown powerful enough. the Amer
lean Shoe Protective Union is power
less from lack of proper leadership
and organization. The masses in the
shoe trade in general are discouraged
and respondent, looking for a way
out of the terrible mess in their trade.
The American Shoe Protective Union
in particular, dominating the greater
part Of the organized shoe workers,
will not, in my opinion improve any
conditions or organize the shoe trade
as it stands now.
Lack Of Confidence.
Lack of confidence of the member
ship and the masses of shoe workers.
corruption and dissension among the
incapable leadership, is a barrier in
the way of creating any form of real
labor union.
Especially the last mock stoppage
and the so-called agreement signed
between the American Shoe Protect
i've Union and the Associated Shops
ruined the prestige of the union and
snuffed out the last hope OF many &C.
tive members to burd up a strong
labor union out of the American
Shoe Protective Union.
AmAIgamateI
The only salvation, according to
my opinion at the present, is the
awakening to activity by the rank
and file of the shoe workers, and by
the amalgamation between the Amer
lean Shoe Protective and the Shoe
Protective Union as a base toward
amalgamation of all the shoe work
ers of all the unions in existence.
The fusion of blood from the young
er veins of the Shoe Protective Union
with the older blood OF the American
Shoe Protective Union will create a
real labor union which can be an i'm
portant power that would help i'm
prove conditions in the shoe trade,
and 1t is the duty of every active men,

fort TO see to 1t that the propositions

Wages Of Employees
Go Down with Cut in
Price of Nash Cars
Ry a Worker correspondent

KENOSHA, Wis, Dec. 8.--With the
reduction in the price of the Nash Au-
tomobile comes cut in wages for the
workers of the Nash Motor Company.
The workers here are unorganized,
consequently it is easy to affect cut
in their wages. All the employers
need do is announce that there will
be cut in wages which they did.
BY cutting the selling price of their
car the company gains larger mar
ket. There are plenty of workers anx.
ious to get employment and they
have plenty of space for them. The
money gained by the reduction will
pay for the additional help and the
company will squeeze the loss out of
the workers strength. The worker is
always the victim of the bosses greed,
when he is unorganized and fights
alone.
