Death of Mr. Gettys Prominent in Georgia One of Most Prominent Men in Mid dle <;e«»-Kia and Chief Factor in Public Enterprise:). 'from Middle Georgian) W. B. Gettys, business- inn philan thropist, public benefactor, one of tile leading: and among the most prom inent citizens of central Georgia, died at the Gettys family home two miles east from Jeffersonville lost Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock, aged 62 years, and his funeral was held here Wed nesday at 11 a. m.. Interment being made in the Jeffersonville cemetery. About five years ago Mr. G»-t!y> then an activg,' hard-working busi-, ness man, suffered a stroke of para lysis. This totally incapacitated hint for a time, but be improved event a- j ally, resumed attention to his ex tensive business affairs and appear ed to be on the road to complete re covery, when a -second stroke took j him permanently out of active i'f. . For more than a year 1 had been confined to his home, and la 1 Mon day following a third paralytic at tack, he passed away. The news that Mr. Getty?, had <!>*! east a shadow of bereavement over the entire community, and few citi zens who have died here in past years have been so generally anil so sin cerely mounted. Mr. Gettys is survived by hi - wife and three children: J. M. Gettys of! Jeffersonville and Dudley. Ga., Miss! Lois Gettys and f’ari Gettys, both; living at the Gettys home. One bro ther, L. A. Gettys Shelby, N. C., came here upon notification of Mr, Getty’s death. About 12 years ago Mr. Gettys, an extensive lumberman and sawmill operator at Zebulon, N. C„ came to Jef.f<?rspnvil!e and engaged here in the sawmill and lumber business, in which lie really pioneered the way in Twiggs county. Immediately lie ac-1 ouired extensive land holdings here and entered actively in the commun- j ity life. He purchased and establish ed his family in handsome and his-1 torlc old Chapman home, then owned . by Mrs, Peai'I O'Daniel, and there the Gettys’ have lived continuously since. When the matter of establishing the present Twiggs County High School was uppermost in the public mind, Mr. Gettys donated to the con solidated district then ten acre tract Upon which the school stands, and in addition gave $1,000 toward the construction of the building itself. And this was only one of a multitude of instances in which lie has bestow ed his generous and philanthropic benefactions upon his chosen commun ity. He was known as one of the most liberal and public spirited men who ever lived in Twiggs County. Double Springs News of Late Interest Double Springs, Jon. 26.—The children were greatly Su. prised and delighted when they awakened Mon day morning, to find the ground again covered with glistening snow. However, the older people did not re gister quite so much of either emo tion. The last snow was too fresh in the memories of the housewife, with its endless tracking of floors, etc. for this to be a very welcome event. A very interesting and helpful ses sion of the regular weekly teacher’s meeting was held Saturday night. More than twenty officers and teach- j ers were present. Among the special j features, were; a solo, by Miss Ozelle Gardner, Primary lesson taught by, Mrs. J. M. Gardner, Jun ior lesson, by Miss Bloumr. Wright,! and the Adult lesson, dUcusoe-’ by, D. P. Washburn. Mr. John Williamson, who was re cently married to M;v Lucy Falls, was carried to the Shelby Hospital on Friday morning, where he was operuted on for appendicitis. He is reported as doing nicely. Mrs. Durhum Johnson, bus recov ered from a recent illness, and has taken up her work again as teacher in the school at Double Springs. Several of the smuli children of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Brooks, have been ill with scarla*inu for th- last few! weeks. We rep | a that the* arc much’! improved at the present writing. Among those attending the Athen ian-Ramsuer debate at Boiling Springs Saturday night were: Misses Ozeilc and Mattie Lee and Mr. Ralph Gardner. Mr. Forest Crowder is expected to return with hi.i bride of the recent week, within a few days. They are visiting in Norfolk, Va.. at present, Mary Leigh, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Washburn, has suffered a relapse from a recent ill ness. We hope this little Miss will soon be well again. Whew! (Gastonia Gnwtte) By way of The Tar Heel. Chapel Hill, we get the following: “1b there a squabble on between our two lead ing denominational schools? The Duke Chronicle makes the laconic statement that one doesn’t hear much n’jout Wake Forest except (luring football season and the old Glory and Black of the same week informs us that Wake Forest would rather be a college in fact that a university in name.” Cosmetics and the like can change everything except the keenness of her desire for a cup of tea.

The first 10 states in the order of their importance and the values of! their foreign shipments for the third: ouarter of the year 1925 were: New Wk, 3207,296.257; Texas. $1:54 422, 573; Pennsylvania, $78,726,781; Illin ois, $6,3,879,126; Michigan, $57,898,-! 527; California. $57,864,066; Louisi ana, $66,478,084; New Jersey, $51, •327,461; Ohio, $39,647,750; and Min in' s o ta, $30,753,459. The figures are based primarily on through bills-of-lading, it is pointed out by Dr. Julius Klein, director of I lie bureau of commerce, under whose charge they are compiled, and, there fore in the case of some states, re flect but a part of their total foreign trade, and for others include goods produced elsewhere, Says Such Servants As Phil Deserving Rocky Mount Telegram. The recent story from .Shelby in the state papers to the effect, that an old negro there was Die first darkey in tin state to be given a pension has elicited comment from a number of -sections) which claim their similar! honors for some negro within its bounds. The Shelby story, even though it] may not have been entirely accurate, should serve a good purpose by cen tering attention upon the question of, pension- for negroes who are entitled t<’ them and arousing interest of white citizens and leaders to see that they get their just deserts. The Shelby story and the re sponses which it has drawn have shown that there are several old ne groes in the state drawing pensions because of the valuable service which they rendered to the Confederate 1 cause during the Civil war. Our guess is, however, that an even larg er number of deserving cases has been ) "erlookcd. It is to be boned that the present publicity concerning pensions for ne groes and precipitated by the Shelby correspondent of the state paper.-, will lead representative white citr ons I who know of < hl negroes entitled to I pension to sec that they get the do j served state aid. If there is any dark-1 l-.v in the state who is no. receiving pension end who rhouid receive or,.', Ms case should be Inked up and hare led accordingly. Those nogrcee of the old-fashioned typo who stood by their state anil; their masters in times of stress ami j ■train should be taken care of in their declining years. Odds are that they j really need the pension money and teat they have no one to look after them or no place in which to go dur ing the rapidly speeding fag end ef Lheir lives. The Confederate veteran have their old soldiers’, home at Itn leigh ami in most instances relatives who look after them. The opposite is true in most cases where negroes are concerned. Negroes m a usual thing do not think ef lay. ing up anything for old age or are not in a position to do so. Pension money is therefore probably needed by there faithful servants of the past, and in terested citizens who know of any worthy cases should take steps to >te that they are given the attention of an appreciative state.
