THOMAS IRWIN GRIFFIN

The word of the sudden death IN
the night of Mr.. T. |. Griffin was
quickly conveyed in hushed voices
from one to another last Saturday
morning, and many were the regrets
expressed for the loss of one who
had lived an exemplary life in this
community and been identified with
its business, fraternal and religious
life for the past sixteen years. With
his esteemed family Mr.. Griffin came
here from Berrien county and con-
Quoted a prosperous meat market for
number of years, one that was pro-
nounced the most sanitary in the city

ing vigor he has of late been in fire.

Alcohol says Henry Ford, will be the next
great motor fuel This doesn't mean that Mr..
Ford is going to turn his back on the Volstead
law.-Savannah Press.
We anticipated Ford by about twenty years.
Tried to get certain member of the Georgia
Legislature to insert an amendment in the
original prohibition act allowing the manu-
facture of industrial alcohol, just before its
final passage, but were told that an amendment
offered at that time to the act, would leopard
ize the adoption of the measure So in Georgia
we can't manufacture fuel alcohol until the
law is amended, we are told. Sweet potatoes
will some day drive automobiles whether they
are converted into fuel in Georgia or some
more liberal state. Why not give Ford a
chance to experiment with sweet potatoes as
an automotive fuel on his Bryant county farm?

Law Enforcement

1t has been declare dby national
committee of women meeting in
Washington recently with thousand
delegates that "Men are lawmakers,
but women are the law enforcers."
A demonstration of this is near at
hand with Mrs. j. E. Andrews, for
mer prominent woman in Fitzgerald,
leading an attack on the city council
of Atlanta for alleged drinking and
drunken conduct even within the
walls of the council chamber. Mrs.
Andrews is identified with a civic
righteousness league which is well or
ganized over the city of Atlanta.
Mrs. Andrews is earnest and fearless
and has made her complaint official
by the filing of affidavits that must
be acted upon by the city council,
and furthermore the league backing
Mrs. Andrews declares that every
candidate must show his colors for
law enforcement in the matter of
pfOhlD1t1On ana all OCner laws regu-
lating moral isues henceforth in city
elections. Go to it, Mrs. Andrews,
the law-abiding people and all inter-
ested in clean city government are
glad to have any rottenness uncov-
cred. What is the matter with the
entire country today is not a lack of
good laws but want Of men and wo-
men with moral courage that will not
shrink from the plain duty of ex-
posture when public good demands it.
Men in official places cannot ignore
evil in their midst. Either they must
condemn it or be party to it. There
is no neutral ground on moral issues.

Mrs. w. B. Brown, Zion City,

The sad news of the death of Mrs.
w. B. Brown, formerly of this city,
was received here by her father, Mr..
j. w. Howder this afternoon.
Mrs. Brown was one of the early
colonists of the city, her husband be-
ing employed here in the several
newspaper plants of the early period.
About twenty years ago the family

ARE YOU RHEUMATIC?
Many Pangs That Pass for Rheuma-
tism Are Really Due to Weak
Kidneys

Do you suffer the agonizing pangs
of rheumatism? Are you tortured
with rheumatic joints and stabbing
twinges? Then you should know that
many so-called rheumatic troubles are
due to anexcess of uric acid and must
be treated through the kidneys. When
the kindneys weaken, the whole sys-
tenn is upset by these body poisons.
Help your kidneys with a stimulant
diuretic. Use Doan's Pills, the remedy
thousands recommend Here is a typ
ical case:
r. S. Carter, farmer, Nashville,
Ga, says: Hard work on the farm
affected my kidneys and l had rheu-
matte pains in my back and in my
hands so bad that l couldn't even
close my fingers. The pains in the
back of my head had me so I could
not turn my head one way or another.
l used two boxes of Doan's Pills and
Doan's gave me prompt relief" 60c

Kings Bay
. - By M:

Kings Bay
Just a dot on the map to the peo-
pie of the world in general. Kings
Bay has in the past two weeks as
sumed position of world Importance
by it's prominence in the recent ex-
petitions to the North Pole. Those
most optimistic over established air
routes in the Arctic zone foresee this
little outpost of civilization as juno
ton for a network of transport lines
between northern Asia, Europe and
America Until this time Kings Bay
has been a little village of two hun
dred and fifty residents in winter and
possible four hundred in summer.
Most Of the villagers are in the en-
ploy of the Norwegian Coal Com
pany and during winter are shut off
from the rest of the world. At times
boats, have blasted pathway by
dynamiting the ice before them as
they progressed. This is in the land
of the midnight sun where the sun
does not set from the third week of
April till the third week of Septem-
Der. Trees do not grow in this latti-
tude and even vegetation is almost
impossible of growth throughout the
whole of Spitzenbergen. Just around
Kings Bay, however, there is a lit
tie natural growth of pink saxifrage
and soil that will produce scantily.
Human activity can make even this
icy waste of interest and of use to
the world and artificial agencies be
employed to make living bearable to
an increased number of inhabitants.

Preachers and Poultry

In Wharton, Texas, a funny ruling
was passed in March or early garden
making time. The ordinance de-
clares "that all chickens found out
of their pens after this date shall be
given to the preachers of Wharton"
Laugh about this and then at your
self, as the chances are you do not
know what protection your own town
ordinance gives you in the matter of
annoying stray chickens.

Legislative Feat

Legislative Feat
What is said to be the speediest
record ever made by our national
house of representative was that of
last week when 81 bills were passed
in 40 minutes, of course without de-
bate or amendments being otherwise
impossible. Two of these previously
passed by the senate are of interest
to Georgia. One was the permission
for return of that long retained sill
yer service of the obsolete battleship
Georgia to the governor of the state
and through him to the original
donors as these were private con-
tributors in lieu of a state appro-
priation which was not considered
legal, lacking a special appropriation
by the legislature at the exact time
the equipment was needed. Another
bill provides a commission to inspect
Kennesaw Mountain and other his
toric points with the object of recon-
mending them for national military
parks, with markings for historical
and professional military study.

Truth in Fabric"

A bill is about to be presented to
Congress that covers matter of
grea importance to farmers and
sheep growers on the one side and
manufacturers of wooden, garment
makers and dealers both wholesale
and retail on the other side. Like
the Pure Food and Drug bill it is de-
signed to protect the purchaser, the
buyer of wooden goods in getting the
real thing and not an imitation or
shoddy except by choice as the plan
is to label the exact content of the
material. Since the natural trend
will be to raise the price of the rea
wooden article, there is a chance that
out of lis 100000 consumers in this
country, there might even be from
them objections to the label Some
times the customer would prefer moi
to know, than knowing have to pay
more for his goods when choice j.
left to himself. Not willingly do we
buy shoddy, yet we had rather b.
deceived in a skillful way than pay
the difference, that the plan necessi
tates. Opponents to the truth o.
fabrics" bill declare it is impossible
to properly label even the new WOO
cloth as the grade is so varied. Som.
is made of fresh clippings othel
kinds while still wool are worked
