Facts developed by the army's audit, Mr. Steward asserted, warrant ed the assumption of gross fraud and collusion. The v.altie of the lumbet sold, the audit disclosed, lie reported, was $4,697,171, of which the govern ment received $2,483,095, leaving a hal ance due the government of $1,854,076 which he said has never been paid. A warrant 'has 'been Issued by th< United States Commissioner Hitt for the arrest of J. . 'Phillips, chairmar of the Republican national state com mittee for Georgia, charging fraud in the execution of twar contracts. Be yond confirming reports that the war rant had been Issued, Commissioner 'litt refused tonight to discuss the case. Phillips, as a member of the firm of Phillips & Stevens, obtained a con tract soon after the armistice frion the government to dispose of surplus lumber left from cantonment and cai, construction and other war building developments, the firin having been designated by a conference of lumbei dealers to act as their agent.

The Fact that he is a -member of the community makes much difference to him nwheni he con siders that th(i rslerity of laurens; is his own prosperity. But when Ie seds his money to the mail order houses lie does not stop to think that lie is not helping to pay Ithe retiired taxes in his own com munity; not that he does not pay his own legally a.!exned taxe:;, but that hC is not helping our local merchants to pay the taxes nlecessary to support the community. If we keep the dollars at home they will keep on helrling us all. Dollars spent at hoiie, come homne to roost. They come biack in the upkeep of our city and couty institutions.

The only way to prevenlit this is to stop sending our orders to the miail order houses. Let the dollars come home to roost. That is .the only way, and they will coRie home to roost if we (10 not send them too far away. The dollars spent locally will circle around and keep things lively, but if sent away owe must ,get more dollars from outside to take their place. It is not always ain easy matter to do this. The safest thing to do is to take no chances, 'but to spend then at home with the local sJore keepers. if we had any expectation that the mail order man would ever do anything to help our community, things might ibe different. But 1there is no chance. He comes to us in the garb of an art ful deceiver. There isn't a grain of kindness in his whole makeup. 'lie demands his cash in advance and gives you that which he wishes to send. You have no redress. You have no rghts that lie is bound to respect. The mere fact that we are silly enough to send our money away, out of our awn comniuinty, to a stranger, thereby injuring our own .business vrospects and jeopardizing ouRt own prosperity, justilles hm in believing that Ie can take the most outrageous lberties withI us.
