We believe the campaign in this
community for more flowers angd pret
ty lawns is going to relieve us of the
towti chickens. How many of us
could deny that this is the cause of
the lack of flowers and pretty lawns
here? It has come to a question now
ag to whether wg are going to surren
der our right to a pretty town for the
few chickens that are permitted to
roami the streets, This matter ought
to be decided and that quickly.
The chickens may prove a handicap
to the flower garden campaign which
is taking its place in Cordele. Wo
hope not. A pro‘u‘y flower garden
_-o_annofi»be had where the neighbor's
schickéng run out in the open. Care:
' ful glaps m!zht gsave the chickens and
the flowers—or else there should be
a determination to have.no chickens
" where it 1s not possible to keep them
_ off the lawns and flower plots of tho
neighbors. Ong old rooster and his
fanily of hens can destroy all the
flowers of the ten next nearest neigh
* hors—and they will if allowed to run
out in the open. .
We have still many movements for
funds for various causes. We call
' atténtion now to the Near East Relief
The funds which have been gathered
Jately have come as a result of a Her:
\ pert Hoover appeal for what is rep
resented ag the starving babies of
Europe, We would like to know
more about the worthiness of this
cause, but we would not like to make
‘a mistake and blunder into the belief.

¢ f&:{'&d the need of this fund. We
hbfio our people will find the fair and
fiu ecdurse and pursue that with
their cordial liberality,
'«,{ln these columns we expressed our
plves freely about express rates yus-l
vrdny‘ But what we said was not|
nighed, The local management an'l!
ha service rendered in Cordele by
he agency of the American Express
ympany are much in accord with the
i(h standard of efficiency which the
i';'bllc is always looking for. There
fen’t a word of censure that could be
jut"tly offered, ang if we were to hear
of it, our first inclination would be to
q@ffid the agency hero, It isn't that
"mh\ bothers us. We cheerfully of:
ler cotpmendation to the home ser
jco and \if that kind of efficiency s
;‘t'_ight aMlalntained all over the
lnes, it a.best and only excus®
!e know for the higher rates, The
American Express Company will find
#fielr enjoying a larger business and,
we belleve, a larger profit, if it will
&ncern itselt _ sincsrely and fairly
With the uneven rates, the many
t@mes prohibitive rates which are
/'arged. Our local agency does not
r\ermln_e the rate which is charged
oh an express package, We wan'
the local public to know that. If that
izore the case, we are quite sure the
od humor and the honest efforts
Eway-s shown by the loeal agency
rould have solved some of these
~~WE GROW IN THOUGHT,
The young men under thirty
years of age, who have to pay 90
percent of the price of all wars,
should be interested in prevent
ing wars, and they ghould make
known at Washington the fact
that they desire peace. ‘Right
now is the time to prevent the
next war.—Moultrie Observer.
There isn't 4 community in Georgia
fn which we have a larger genuine
interest outside of Cordele and Crisp
county than we have in Moultrie and
(}olqultt county. ‘Phis dissertation
must be too ghort for us to tell why.
We get pleasure out of this editorial
comment from the Observer.
And we get at least some out of the
editorial comment made about this
paragnaph in the Savannah Press,
The editor of the Moultrie Ohserver
fsn't conscious of it, but he is coming
around, The world is too big for one
‘man to be able to see all its needs
‘and it is too obstinate to accept them
were such a man to hit on its real
needs, g .
The world I 3 full of a disposition to
gpurn government ‘and law because
men lately have practiced abuse of
those in power.. Not a man in high
place on the face of the earth in the
past two years has escaped derision,
abuse and hatred—not one. The high
er the place, the grealer the curses
heaped upon him. It was not the
place he held go much as the man who
held it. Men of this age have never
read or heard of such a sweep of hatg
and rebellion. It has been in the air
around the globe as sure and as
epidemic as influenza,
The American people have paid in
greater sacrifices than all the world
for these conditions, They have yet
much to suffer in stagnant commerce
for it. They have much to pay for
their persistent ‘hostlllty towards
world peace—political hostility. They
will set up soup kitchens around
their great industrial plants till they
abandon war and preparations for
war, The world wants no more of 1t
«—and the world knows this country
is drunk on the accomplishments of
the late warépolitically drunk. Our
national behavior has béen so unwor
thy that we do not know ourselves
what we seck. We still know what
we ought to seek.
Now listen at the closing wordy of
the Moultrie editor in further com
ment on peace:
We hopé to sce a peace plz‘m \
put forth that will prove feasible
and acceptable to all men of all
nations. It would be the great- (
est thing that has hapboncd since
the coming of Jesus (Christ.
If that man will preach that sort
of doctrine in Moultrie and Colquitt
county as long as he has proached
gomething else, the thought of the
young men in that section will havnl
changed to the course he is choosing. ;
Woe say it with greater hope, a strong- 1
or belief in the things he says today
about peace. The man who made it
possible for us to have chosén_ the
national course set for us, will soon
be out of the way, and the opportuni
ty to look upon the pathway to peace
which he pointed out will be clarified
and plainer to most of us.
We shall still hope this country
finds a way to give its support te the
plans for world peace which has al
ready gained thoe suppori and good
faith of other nations to such an ex
tent that they are trying to live up to
its high othics—the highest ever of
tered the world for international re.
lations.

The United States lost a billion
doMars in trade balance last year.
We are on the way this year to lose
it all. The losses will not stop till
we stop the foreign exchange robber
fes and the prospect of shutting the
gates of trade in this country against
all the world, The interests which
control politics in the United States
control these things, so ordinarily we
should not be able to stir out much
optimism at the present writing. We
can make good crops of food and feed
‘stuffs and live at home and this Is
more necessary than ever while the
revolution is spending its force. The
world is turning its trade back on
| this country,
' MISTREATING THE NEGRO.
Of all the cowardly, dastardly
pleces of outlawry that has afflic
ted the county of late there is -
none 8o mean as the recent at
tempt in Gwinnett and Hall coun
ties to exterminate or run out
peacable, Industrious law-abid
ing negroes. All the power and
authority of the state ought to be
exercised at once to absolutely
exterminate if necessary this
gang of lazy, loafing outlaws who
in character are an absolute dis
grace to the negroes they are try
ing to terrorize, and if the govern
or does not promptly attend fo
this matter he ahou{d forever be
branded ag a coward and an in
competent. This is not a matter
for political trifling, but for im
mediate, positive, thorough and
drastic action,—Social Circle New
¥ra.
South Georgia helieves in handling
much of its affairs according to law,
but we hope strongly that this plan
prevailing in North Georgia will not
gain any support here, Nothing hard
is hard enough to be said about the
white men who thus choose to make
themselves outlaws,
People of this state are nof going
to sympathize with such white peo
ple. We know recent political up
heavals have given cause for rejoic
ing among the outlaw element, espe
cially in North Georgia but that same
olement is destined to run into troub
le and much of it if it keeps up its
schedule.
The institutiong of this state were
meant for something bigécr and bet
ter than to glorify the bull dog pistol
and the moonshine still, and law abid
ing white people will show their deep
geated determination to unhold
and respect the law when they are
called to decide a 8 betweon those who
take it out on the peaceful, working
‘negro with thelr boot leg traffic, and
those who try to observe the laws
and live by their own honest labor, i
North Georgla outlaws are not go
ing to be permitted to impose injus
tices on the working worthy negroes,
They may be sure they will find troub
le in such a program. Nobody here
would stand for it and North Georgia
is already flnding that it must deal
with this evil with @ stern hand of
jusucé.
We find bope for the supremacy of
the law in the severe condemnation
which the paperg are offering the
Norty Georgians who are mistreating
the negroes. It will take lsem.lmenti

to down this practice and an é’“‘“-i
gentic state press should keep fight
ing till it is wel] established that
these outlaws are not going to be{
permitted to continue such a course,
Georgia does not want that kind of
advertisement and will not long stand
for it.

We have no idca that the church is
respongible for the wide sweep of
crime prevalent in this country—un
less it could be charged with the
glackening of sincere effort in some
o’ its more important activities, but
the dispatches yesterday caught up a
preacher in the drag net dt the law
and held him in eonnection with the
yobbery of the United States mails ai
Mount Vernon, Illinois. He was said
to have held nearly a hundred thos
and dollars of the loot hidden in an
egg crate when his home was ra‘ded.
Smart commentators may find humor
in it, because humor always conalsts
of the widest incongruities, If ever
there was an incongruity, this 18 one
-—a preacher with a hundred thousand
in the loot of the bandit.
It begins to look ‘us-l_ii_}l-cnry Lin
eoln Johnson is going to have some
thing‘to do with appointments to pub
lic office in Georgia after all. We
rospectfully suggest to those of our
friends who were so sure they needed
a change that this is a change they
may not-be looking for. They ought
to be up and doing to prevent it.
N_egfo d,tflce holders in G_éorgia will
not promote public peace, nor will
they be able to administer the af
fairs of government under the handi
caps that are awaiting them. Repub
lican policy of that kind will foster
death for the negro—and the negro
cannot well sacrifice racial safety for
political folly. In Georgia that pro
gram will be worse than whole train
loads of dynamite. ‘
TRAGEDY OF OUR FARMS.
Albany Herald: 5
Editor Brown, of the ' Cordele
Dispateh, writes @ strong argument
in his editorial columns on “That
Cotton Pregram,” in which he truly
says he sgpeaks for Nis own preserva
tion as a suécessful newspaper pub
liaher, a¢ well as business in general:
Success along these lines, he says,
depends largely upon the success of
the farming interests around his
town and therefore he speaks plain
ly, though admitting that he has no
new advice, but just an old story to
tell. In part, he says: '
The greatest tragedy on our farms
today is that of the man who has to
come to town and carry out sup-
plies to feed his stock and the fami
lies of the employees of the farm.
If you would study an excuse, catch
a man at that and ask him why he
does it. If you will watch him a
moment, you will know why. His
very manner exudes poor judgement,
poor management, poor farming.
Such a man is not always worthy of
the name he carries.*** Take our
advice, if you will. Feed the farm
first. Be sure that an abundant food
crop is planted. Better have a lit
tle over than not enough. That
meansg corn, hay, peas, beanuts, hog
and cattle, milk and butter, gardens
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 cotton. It cannot be done
You lose every time you try it.
