They ought to include Henry Lin
coln on that special train for the in
auguaral that goes from Georgia.
We do not see how it could be com
plete without him.
Watch the cotton farmer now.
The slow rise is beginning to get un
der hig shirt. It's a long way to pro
fit in the cotton crop with which we
have to escape the weevil. Be care
ful.
We see no objectlon to allowing
Tom Watson a fair deal in what he
cal‘y his -program of reform legisla
tion, but we have a belief that it will
take even more than all the big dal
ly newspapers in Georgia to stake
¢down and hold Georgians to the
semity -of Dis proposals. Nobody ex
pected him to undertake serious
things in the senate. Those who vo
do.cor him thought he would do the
'l[ rafsin’ stunt more nearly ac
cording to their ideas of h—ll raisin’
—and they were in a mood to see
gomp of that done. Good enough, Let
them have a bit more patience—no
bucking and complaining at this hour.

We see more explanationg about
tho Ku Klux Klan—what it is and
what it is not. And we will keep on
geeing them. The effort to attach
{he name of the famous southern or
ganization of the sixties to a secret
order of today, we very much fear,
fs a mistake. It is easy to under
gtand how one might suppose that
this is a really partiotic way to pre
gerve the traditions of the klan of a
day oi«stlrring devotion of the white
people of the south to their own su
premacy over government. But peo
ple who have long been unfriendly
:il:l_l_i_‘_gmbbomly refuse to understand.
They are at this moment trying to im
press on other sections of the coun
a?‘r abuse of the negro through
s organization—and what we have
of it today is only a secret order

80 OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD.
F 4 chas. E. Brown, editor of The
Cordele Dispatch, is being enter
tained by Cordele girls who dance i
"5‘.1.‘ jigs. We might suggest ‘
, “ihat The Reporter has a large ‘
front office—LaGrange Reporter, l
wThe editor of the LaGrange m»i
porter is the man for the real dance.
e amderstand how that he should
be concerned about more pople know
ing the Reporter has a large from‘
office. And we can graciously and
cheerfully admit the editor of the
splendid paper is wonderfully well
qualified to lead the dance.
What hung on our mind was the
fact that we got skinned up about the
;1?9‘0 pnd didn't get the dance.
arge front office space is not the
Desetting sin here, and the real danc®

“‘*‘Rf_.gome kind which we forget
now—all in the midst of a right ab

P_;?.‘vgsre interested.
We had taken for granted that our

... The- Dispatch..is. vwm;
in_th _success, of our_farming vro黑
gram for 1921, We believe our for
tunes, or the lack of success in the
future so far as business goes, will
depend largely upon the succesg of
the farming interests around us, and
therefore we speak plainly. We are
after our own preservation. Tt will
be well for you to think of some of
these things, too. ‘
We have no new advice-—just an{
old story to tell in this item. You
ought to make your tarmlng:sched
ule this year so that it will include
enough food and feed stuffs for all
the farm which you control and oper
ate. There may be hidden excuses,
but we believe you can have very
few good reasons why the farm sup
plies should not be raised at home
this year.
The greatest tragedy on our farms
today is the man who has to come to
town and carry out gupplies to feed
his gtock and the families of the em-'
ployees of the farm. 1t you would
study an excuse, catch a man at that |
and ask him why he does 1t I yon‘
will watch him a moment, you will
know why. His very manner exudes
poor judgment, poor management,
poor farming. Such a man is not al
ways worthy of the name he carrlest
We are very happy that thig type
{s scarce in Crisp county. We are
also very happy that the larger num-
ber of our farmers have gained from
thelr own experience great business
advantages on their farms. We know
it means added wealth and will keep
increasing as they develop larger foold
and feed crops. Our tarmers today
who are in best condition are those
who have made all their supplies and
have some to sell. This, too, in ad
dition to the cotton crop.
Take our advice, if you will. Feed
the farm first. Be sure that an
abundant food crop is planted. Bet- |
ter have a little over than not enough
That means corn, hay, peas, peanuts,
hogs and cattle, milk and butter, gar
dens and chickens. You cannot get
along without these wherever there}
is a family to feed and some stock;
Make them first. |
Then grow what cotton you want
for a cash crop. Cut out the idea of
getting rich with many acres of cot
ton. It cannot be done. You lose
every time you try it. You have too
many handicaps chiel among them
now being the boll {.veev('ul. Make
the cotton crop one you can control
and take care of un'ler abnprmal
geasons. Then you may be sure 1
will not get away from you in nor
mal times. Ycua ought to get a fair
yield and the acreage must be guch
as will enable you to keep out of the
weevils. :
This is our advice. We give it ba
cause our success is tied up with
yours. If you have a better pro
’grnm, go that route.
“dance” in th had of a news item,
just let it slip unthoughtedly. It all
ended with everybody in a. happy
mood so far as the public knows and
we never lost a thing but the Virgin
ia Reel out of a Community Service
program.
Our brother editor can fiind a
great deal in the Community Service
like that Cordele supports if he wili
go after it. It would do us a great deal
| of_good to see him go the paces thra
with our folks on a Friday pvening
whn this program is in full sWing.
When we think of the fine times one
can have with young and old. girls
good looking, and middling to fair,
old folks who are still yo:ing, jolly
fsirs. red faced and smiling, we <re
sure that we have no time to quarre!
about the dance with anybady.

... Approval of Sunday.. amuse- |
ments, the operation of public
utilities on Sunday, the publish
‘ing and circulation, of ‘Sundgy
papers and the selling of various |
wares on Sunday and the conse-‘
quent disapproval of biue law
enactment was voiced at a meet
ing of forty three leading profes
sional and business men of Moul
tri Sunday morning at the First
Presbyterian Church,
The meeting was the regular
session of the Men's Bible class
conducted by the Rev., D. W,
Brannen, pastor of the church
who led in a discussion of Sab
bath observance and asked for a
vote of the class on the ques
tions involved.
According to the vote, 29 were
for and 12 against Sunday amuse
ments; 33 for and 8 against Sun
day operation of public utilities;
36 for and 5 against the issuing i
of Sunday papers, and 28 for and ‘
13 against Sunday sales, Two of
the class failed to vote.
The issue as settled by the busi
ness men of Moultrie in the Men’s
Bible Class of the Presbyterian Sun
day school, as presented in this news
account taken from the Moultrie Ob
server indicates that there weie goes
lively times so far as the voting goes.
The issue was apparently dispozed
of in the vote. It was an expression
that will prove interesting by com
parison in many similar communities.
Here the community has seen
more or less agitation over the prob
lems of fitting Sunday observance
among all people and some of the re
sults have proven unpleasant. We
have always believed in following the
wishes of the majority of the people
where such is possible. It would be
right hard to have to follow the rule
laid down by any one person if that
person happens to hit upon ideas
very far removed from those of the
larger number ol residents.
Cordele has a strong church-going
community, but a community very
much opposed to forced religion,
Sunday observance, and all other
forms of morality. The effort to
drive brings miserable failure. Many
good things are accoplishedd by
mild leading that can not be done so
well otherwise.
We do not wish to start Lrouble.
The people of Cordele have been ob~i
serving Sunday much like we believe
it ought to be done here. Of course,
we are not perfect—some things get
in that ought not to ocecur, but most
of us have a very fine respect for
the day. We fall out of church at
tendance sometimes not because we‘
do not believe in church, but more
largely due to the imaginary need of
relaxation and a lazy program.
The churcheg bid for aftendance
both in Sunday gchool and the regn
lar services and they &>t a marvelous
result. This isn't a boast, hut we
would love for our neighhors to
know what & firc church attendance
record this co er:unity has,
Sunday observance s the Moulirie
class passed upon it i 3 therefore of
special interest.
