CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TO MAKE BIG DRIVE TO
INCREASE MEMBERSHIP

A membership drive is planned for
the Chamber of Commerce at a meet
ing of the new board of directors,
which was held Tuesday evening.
A special meeting of the board is
called for Friday night, when COM
mittees will be appointed to make a
house to house canvas for members.
1t is incumbent upon every proper
ty owner, business and professional
man, every manufacturer and BAN
ker, to assist in procuring sufficient
funds for an active functioning of a
Chamber of Commerce.
To secure tangible results from
Chamber of Commerce activities
money is needed and the only sources
from which that can be had, are the
citizens who directly or indirectly
benefit from the proposed work of
the organization. Among these may
be included practically everyone
within a city, as our own well doing
is closely tied up with the well doing
of everyone else in the community.
Make up your mind that you will be
liberal subscriber to the Chamber
when the committee calls on you.

FORTY EIGHT HOUR LABORINC
WEEK ADOPTED

DEMONSTRATING Tuesday the
large shops of the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad in Waycross inaugurated the
forty-eight hour week.
During 1926, the Atlantic Coast
Line spent more than 100000 for
additions to the shops, which increas-
ed it's capacity and will eventually in
crease the number of employees.
The shops employ more than 1000
men, and this addition of four hours
week to the working time means
an average addition of SIS month
to the salaries of these employees, or
an increase in the monthly payroll
for Waycross of more than $50, 900
a month. This monthly increase in
sures Waycross of continuance of
the business prosperity that charac-
terized it during the last half of the
year just passed.
It is expected also that the first
half of 1927 will bring important an
nouncements as to improvements in
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Coast
railway, which has been placed under
the control of the Atlantic Coast
Line.

PAVING COMPLETED ON
PERRY-MACON HIGHWAY

Traffic has been resumed over the
Macon-Perry highway, a stretch OF
roadway 20 miles in length and di-
rect route which tourists travelling
north and south traverse. The road
has ben paved from Macon to Perry
and this now gives a direct paved
rotue all the way from Atlanta to Ma
con toaPerry with the exception of a
few miles between Macon and Allan
ia.
The distance between Atlanta and
Perry through Macon is about 1876
miles and all of it is now paved high
way except less than six miles. When
traffic was resumed over the Macon
Perry stretch Monday, large num-
Der of people from Perry and other
sections south of Macon were in that
city, all boasting about the new high
way.
At Perry, tourists are given choice
of the National highway or the Dixie
highway to points south. That a
complete system of paved road from
the site of Houston county to Macon
and then to Atlanta is now available
gives promise of making this section
the most prominent as we'll as popu-
lar of any tourist route leading north
and south.

LARGE DEMAND FOR HIGH
GRADE BLACK WALNUT LOG

With the growing popularity of
black walnut furniture and in in
creasing use of ply wood or veneer
by the manufacturers, the Forest
Service, United States Department of
Agriculture, points to the great de-
mand for high grade black walnut
logs suitable for this use.
Logs suitable for cutting into We
neer, to bring price of from $3.50
to 5000 a thousand board feet at the
mill must be 10 to "a inches in dia-
meter at the small end and practi-
cally clear of defects. Larger logs
of good quality naturally bring higher
prices, but smaller logs and logs Of
fair quality generally do not bring
more than about 500 a thousand
board feet at the mill, according to
the department.
Logs at the mills bring higher
prices than logs in the woods or de-
livered at a shipping point, as freight
is a very large item of cost The val
ue of standing timber, says the For
est Service, depends greatly on the
distance from the mill to where it is
to be converted into timber or We
neer. The price for standing walnut
trees is about $50 a thousand board
feet less on the average than at the
| mill.

Builders In East
Buy South's Brick

Atlanta, Ga.-The southern man
ufacturers of brick have broken into
the East and placed contract for
100000 brick with builders in
New York. This order is said to ex-
coed previous single sales by 6,O00,-
900. Through the placing of this
large order, the way is open for
other orders of like character and
amount, it was stated.
For many years New Jersey and
the West have supplied the brick for
practically all building in the East,
Atlanta manufacturers stated. These
sections of the country being noted
and established as brick manufacture
ing centers, the business has gone to
those points without competition, it
was shown. Now that the southern
manufacturers of brick have awak-
ened to the advantages possessed by
this section through water transporta-
ton, brick men here say, it is be-
lieved that this section of the coun-
try will soon become the brick mart
of the United States.
Georgia is a great state for man.
ufacturing brick and some of the
largest plants in the nation are To-
Gated in this state. Local manufac-
turers say that it is only matter
of time when every building of any
importance built in the east will be
built out of Georgia brick-the same
as is the case with Georgia granite
and marble.
Manufacturers of brick in the west
are deprived of water transportation
and are forced to ship by railroad,
which takes a much higher rate than
the water rate from the South. Con-
sequently the South can deliver brick
in New York for less money than
their western competitors.
The clay in this section of the
country is just as satisfactory for
manufacturing brick as is the clay
in any other section of the country.
Labor is cheap and the cost of pro-
duction is naturally less, which af-
fords the southern manufacturer an
advantage that cannot be overcome
by the New Jersey and Western man.

Did YouEver
Stop to Think
.
By Edison r. Waite

by EdSon n. waite
THAT it takes civic pride and a
progressive community spirit to make
better cities.
THAT no city can progress tar on
the road of Progress as long as there
is constant friction between its cit
liens.
THAT great progress is made by
cities who have cooperation and
teamwork
THAT many cities seem to be play
ing dead. Now is the time for them
to come to life.
THAT in some sleepy cities many
of the prominent citizens only try to
keep the home city about three jumps
ahead of failure, and most of the
balance of the citizens seem satisfied
THAT many cities have bunch OF
cutters, the kind of fellows who quit
before they start. What there cities
need is bunch of good starters, men
who are good stickers and finishers.
Cities that all full of good starters
and good finishers usually focus their
eyes on the future, get good start
and stick until their city arrives.
Men who are constantly throwing
cold water on projects that mean a
bigger, better and brighter and buster
home city usually get into hot wa
ter.

HON. ROSCOE LUKE TO
HOLD MEETING HERE

Hon. Roscoe Luke, judge of the
court of appeals of Georgia, has ac-
cepted an invitation f the Businoess
Mems Evangelistic Club, of Fitzger.
and, to hold a revival meeting here
beginning April 18th and continuing
for two weeks.
Judge Luke is a distinguished
Georgian. For number of years
he has been in public life of this
state and is we'll known all over Geor-
gia as an able jurist.
Before his conversion several years
ago, he had little to do with churches
or religion. After his conversion,
however, he announced. that from
then on he would fight the Devil as
hard as he had wor ked for him be-
fore. Judge Luke is layman and
speaks in language that men and
women understand. He talks of
things that are of vital Importance
to every human being, of life, of
death, of Heaven and of hell, and in
such a forceful manner as to COM
pei attention and hundreds have been
converted under the power of his
preaching.
The Fitzgerald Business Mems
Evangelistic Club, backed by the min
listers of the city, are busy with plans
for this meeting. They expect to
make it the most important thing
that has come or will come into this
community in years and they will be
assisted by various groups from near
by cities who are anxious to hear this
great and good man.
Everyone in the city who processes
to be a Christian or who has named
the name of Christ, is requested and
expected to work for this meeting
so that the maximum good may come
to the city by reason of his coming.
Remember the date, April 18th.
