ALL SALVATION
ARMY PLEDGES
DUE ONSEPT. 1
On September 1 all pledges to the
Salvation Army are due.
Facing the immense task of home
service reconstruction throughout
Florida, Georgia, North and South
• Carolina, in the aftermath of the
■war, as it strips for action to be
friends the poor through the com
ihg winter, an urgent appeal has
been issued by the Salvation Army
that pledges due September 1 be
met promptly.
The Salvation Army kept faithful
ly its trust in the world war and
stood the acid test,” declared Brig
adier A. W. Crawford, in charge of
the Salvation Army work in the de
partment of the southeast, with of
fices in Atlanta, in his appeal for
payment of these pledges.
FAnd I believe the people who
subscribed to our Home Service
Campaign fund last spring will keep
faith with the Salvation Army,” he
added.
“The work this fall and winter
will be four-fold. The full quota of
soldiers w’ho went to war will be
back. Thousands will need jobs and
the helping hand of the Salvation
Army in reconstruction fairly whiz.
Industrial homes, rescue homes,
the Salvation Army stores where the
poor may supply their needs for a
mere pittance —or for nothing—and
all of its other charitable institu
tions practically are being rebuilt.
The Salvation Army drained its
every resource in rushing to the aid
of the country and the succor of its
soldier boys, when the_war broke out.
Now it must go back and weld to
gether the links it dropped in its
chain of endeavor at home.
Payment cf the pledges that fall
due on September 1 means the
keeping by the people of the depart
ment of the southeast of its promise
to the army. Make your payments
, to T. H. McLendon, campaign treas
urer, at Planters Bank.
Daily Thought.
What a man thinks in his spirit in
the world, that he does after his de
parture from the world when he be
comes a spirit.—Swedenborg.

The Buick Model K-SU-4» \Xff7>7/
; Buick Seven-Passenger Touring Car
THE BUICK Model-K-Six-49 is a big, roomy, open car for
seven persons, with a range of service in keeping with its
powerful Valve-in-Head motor. The long wheelbase, the
extra size tonneau, the completeness of all details making
for comfort and convenience give it an air of unlimited
capacity that is amply borne out by its continued and <
consistent performance. *

This body is divided by a double cowl, into which the fold
ing seats disappear when not in service. These extra seats
are so arranged as to give liberal space to all occupants in
the tonneau, thereby avoiding any possible crowding.
The slanting windshield braces form the front support
for the high-grade top, which is also equipped with well
made side curtains that swing open with the doors.

75 GALLONS OF BOOZE
■FOUND IN COTTON PATCH
ELLAVILLE, August 30.—Rev
enue Officer Causey, accompanied by
several soldiers from Camp Benning,
paid Schley county a business call
Tuesday. The party found seven
ty-five gallons of moonshine whis
ky in the cotton patch of Leon Webb,
near Midway. They destroyed part
of it and carried the balance to Co
lumbus. They were unable to find
the still.
Rumor says that whisky has been
selling sub rosa at three dollars a
quart, which would make the whis
ky confiscated worth about S9OO.
Rumor further says that several
men are getting rich making and sell
ing whisky and that moonshining is
partly responsible for the scarcity
and high price of labor.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Owing to the increase in the price
of feed and the scarcity of labor, I
find I am compelled to raise the price
of milk from 16c to 18c per quart,
effective September 1.

beautifully gowned, but yesterday
j she really looked like a fashion
’ picture from the Pans races. Her
j hair is that gorgeous shade of dark
red and it was really wonderful
i against her turban made of white
grosgrain ribbon that was trim
[ med across the top by two siiff,
j pleated frills. Her gown was of
white taffeta with the edges picoted
in black and the ribbon girdle fin
ishing in a bunch of short loops at
one side of the front had a very
heavy edge of black that was plain,
not picoted.
