SOUTH GEORGIA TOBACCO LIVESTOCK LANDS AND The newest bright tobacco districts lands can now be bought for less than half their value. Unlimited op portunities for experienced tobacco growers. The production of velvet beans, soy beans, peanuts, etc., to gether with the long grazing period and mild winters make these lands among the very best for raising live stock. Tobacco and livestock will soon cause the value of these lands to increase fourfold. For particu lars write Dr. H. C. McCrackin, Baxley, Ga. A 17 td PROPERTY IS DESTROYED London, Aug. 18.

Protest AKM.in.st Economic Conditions The newspaper comment here seems to indicate that the food riots throughout the country are an ex pression of growing social unrest among the people and to reflect the belief that the empire is advancing toward a social crisis. The riots are spreading, involving alike the poor and the middle classes, who feel impelled to protect against eco nomic conditions. It is remarked that the uprisings are often anti-capitalistic in nature, the mobs attacking and destroying SECRETARY BAKE EXPLAINS POSIII Regarding Married Men: WfuF Neither Work or Support Their Families Says- THEY SHOULD FUlllF The campaign to aid the Jews in the war stricken area of Europe was opened last night in the Court House with eloquent addresses and urging appeals from our peopie to aid in an enterprise wheich commends it self to the great heart oi the peoplt of America and Wilson County. As was so forcibly pointed out last night, the Jews have given instint edly to every call without asking to what purpose the money would be placed. Last year alone and unaided they raised $100,000,000 to help their brethren who are suffering untold agony and want in Russian and in other w;ar stricken areas. Thej hesitated to ask aid this time, and only come to us because the burden is greater than they can bear. The solicitors are out today. The campaign extends over tomorrow and next day.

While the war has created millionaires and increased the luxuries of the j-ich, it has also increased the mis ery of the poor because of insuffi cient wages being paid. Factory hands especially are fomented by the ringleaders of the riots, which are the Hirst of the kind to occur since Japan was opened to western civilization. Disorders broke out in Toklo on Tuesday night. A crowd of five thousand, which was prevented from congregating in the park, marched to the Glnza, the great retail thor oughfare of the city, where they stoned and damaged 200 stores and restaurants, raided rice depots and unsuccessfully attacked the ministry of ineries. Numerous arrests were made. Tokio tonight is occupied by heavy detachments of police and in fantry. The newspapers are forbid den to publish news of any kind relative to the rice riots.

A J speakers with appropriate comment. Messrs. Elmer Oettinger, H. U. Connor, Jr., and Col. John F. Bru ton, in the order atned, addressed tho iiKHeinlilace. Following a ier- vent prayer for the success of t lie cause, Kev. lietnea uunng nis in troduction of Mr. Elmer Oettinger emphasized the necessity for aiding this cause. He stated that no mind could grasp, neither could words ex press the intense suffering the Jews had undergone in Poland and other countries In the war zone. He pre dicted that North Carolina and Wil son County, ever generous, would go over the top, for Wilson never fails to do the right thing. Mr. lEmer Oettinger opened his address by saying the Jews in Po land and in Russia were in a situa tion where they were compelled to fight each other. They had been drafted into the armies of both Rus sia and Germany. Poland had suf fered more than Belgium. Both armies fought over this ter ritory time and time again. Last year, the Jews of America raised $100,000,000, but this year they cannot carry the burden alone. It is stated that 3,000,000 Jews are' suffering In Poland, Roumania and Serbia where the Jews compose a large part of the population. A number of syagogues were de stroyed and Rabbis mistreated and shot. He read extracts from the diary of a captured soldier describ ing the horrible brutalities of the Germans, the mutilated bodies of nen, women and girls could be seen n various places. He mentioned the return of the 5wa to Jerusalem which the Eng ish government contemplates. It is simply up to America to kiv alive the Jews until the consumma tion of their cherished hopea re turn to their ancient city, Md said. He read from Br. Hoover the state ment that If the people of Russia are fed they will come back and fight. He spoke of the few things we give up when the people in Eu rope are compelled to give repeated ly everything. We want to save L sensibly and not like the housekeep- er in Washington who saved sevext . loaves of bread and asked Mr. Ho ver what to do with the breads - The people of the United Stat1 have oversubscribed in food in ! ey, in everything and he predlr Wilson County will more than JcW ble its quota.
