One Jabor leader rises to say tlmt"
the earning of the A, B, & A. have
nothing to do with the wages paid (m!
the line. Among other things he is
wrong. : ‘
We were going to say that thee cold
hag missed this section, but it seems
te have doubled up over the old path
ang we may be speaking too soon
when we say we are safe, While oth
er sections of the country have been
literally freezing, we are still un
touched. Winter weather has been
very scarce up to the present writing.
The Albany Herald defends thei
railrcad commission. All right, we
are willing. It needs somebody to
defend it. Not exactly that, but the
present personnel, so far as Messrs.
Perry, Price and Trammell are con
cerned should stand in need of some
body to soften their blunders for the
people who sent them to the office.,
The railroad commission :ulmin'x;m:-!
ed ag its creators intended, woullll
need no defense, We are out with
the commission. It is the pure cus-'
sed unreasonable attitude of somte of}
the membhers that hag ug guessing, [
TIFTON'S GRATITUDE.
The people of Tiften, ang especially
City Manager Hargrett, and the Tif
ton fire department, express througi
The Dispatch their appreciation and
thankg for the prempt response of
the Cordele fire fightersg to their call
for help Sunday. ‘
The Cordele truck got only to Ash
burn before it was stopped, but with
in a few minutes it woeuld have been
on the scene lending what assistance
it could to stop the conflagation
Commeunting on the fire and the as
sistance rendered by gistor towns, the
Tifton Gazette Monday had the fol
lowing:
And the fact that help was here
within 50 minutes of the time
the call was sent reminds us how
much we are indebted to those
great modern conveniences, the
telephone and gocd roads, and to
that gr'eat auxiliary of fire fight
ing, the auto fire truck. Without
the telephone, aid could not have
been called so quickly; without
the auto truck it could not have
been sent, and without good roads
it could not have reached us. Of
course, the roads could be much
better—but that will come with
time—and when we have paved
reads, we, with out neighbors,
will be able tp render such quick
aid on occasion of need that con
flagations that wipe out small
citieg in this territory will be a
thing of the past. Doubtless in
surance companies will soon take
these facts into consideration in
fixing rates, and premiums will
be lower. Certainly, it fill mean
a greater measure of safety to
property. Therefore, our people
cannot make a botter investment
than in improvad roads and mod
ern fire fighting cquipment.

| THAT BIBLE CLASS.
' That Men's Bible Class at the First
Baptist church in Ccrdele has won
itself quite a wide reputation and p2o
ple from dnc end of the state to the
other are asking for information as
tc how this community maintaing such
la large Sunday school class, There
were 234 men in this clasg last Sun
day and plans were made to enlarge
the building so that mol'¢ rocom can
be had for others. If more pedple
attend it is very probable that some
body will be required to stand,
It has hardly been a yYear since the
room was built and the class has al
ready outgrown it. The activities of
this class and its various committees
are felt throughout the community
and no wonder the gtate js trying to
find out scmething about it. This is
one of the Sunday School wonders of
the whole state, We doubt if there is
ancther such a clasg in Georgia, no.
matter how large the community. |
’ The leaders in this class, includingi
the teacher, have already had some-‘
thing to say about class pride. If
‘the main purpose of the clasg are
forgotten and jts members do¢ more
boasting of large numbers than they
plan a wider, fuller knowledge of real
Christianity, they feel that they have
lost all. Thig Sunday School clasy
nct only has a very large attendance,
but the aim is to qo good—to find the
brotherly level with the other man
and help him make the whole com
munity better,
LET THEM KEEP THE LAW.
The farmer in th's sectior cannot
be blamed for halting usow in a
doubtful mood. lie has faced an
era already which no reasonable per
son could belierve =ix months ago
would ever have confronted him. He
has nothing but dous: and uncertain
ty ahead and none of us can do Let:
ter than measure ‘n tihe light of what
seemg the trend or fulure business.
Vhat is that trend?
The world is going to be well sup
plied with cotton when the first bales
of thig year’s crop are ready—well
supplied fcr a full year. We need not
worry about the accuracy of this
statement. It is sufficiently accurate
for us to gauge the year's businoss
accordingly. The farmer who be
lieves he knows more than the rest of
the business world about true condi
tions, will want to risk his own judg-
ment and will want to assum'e that
thig is the best program,
We will have others who will read
nothing and hear nobody else because
they have never kncwn the value of
measuring ideas with other folks.
These will have their cotton crops
shaped by nothing but their own in
dividual ideag of what is best. ‘
Other busintss agencies than farm
ing interests take care of their own
affairs. Kven the banks frc¢m which
the planters get their money for crop
expenses study industrial advance
ment from a different angle. Thous
ands of people are giving advice now
from what seems an eager purpose t>
help the farmer avert business dis
aster the coming fall. This is honest
and sincere in most cases but none of
it is worth an exchange of ideas that
farmers themselves may offer in theis
Cwn o way.
A common knowlodge among them
selves of each other's crop program
will be of vast importance. If we
had any advice to offer, we would
urge that the farmerg get together
themselves and go over the situation.
We have successful farmerg among us
whose ideas will be worth much to tho
community as a whole—much mecre
than the expert testimony of somd-
Sody wino never made a success ol
actual farming.
We warn our farmers that
feod crops must be mare oa the place
Ihey cannot buy food or feed nex:
vear—or at least it will be safest to
assume now that there will be no
mcney with which these commaodities
can be bought. If there is money.
then still he has played safe. Even
the cropper and the tanant must have
his pigs and his milk cow. He must
have his chickens and his garden.
We mean that every farm must grow
all these things—food and feed for
every person and every animal. No
Wordcan impress thig thing in suf
\
| ticient manner. Every farm must
!grow every pound of the food and
'fl‘vd stuff used thereupon. We are
l:;ux'e that if this thing has bten set
{tled, the other problemg will be com
lparutively easy, We must raise more
hcgs and heef cattle. We must raise
mor's grain, hay, potatoes, syrup and
staple food crops. Traffic in these
commodities from other states and
cther sections must not be permitceld
in the cotton area.
We have found our good [armers,
most of them planning to grow five
to gix acres of cotton to the plow,
That is a cut of fifty percent, and is
sufficient to save this ccuntry, A
large crop of cotton wiil not com
mand a price sufficiently attractive
Yor any farmer with business judg
ment to gpend his time growing it.
There has been no market for cot
ton for many months, The industrial
world is at a standstill. It will move
slowly for another six months and
cannot at its best consume the sur
plus cotton which has been banked
up by the industrial shut down. We
may not look for a rapid disposal of
the surplus cotton. We must choose
to cut down our present crcp, Thig
is the only safe plan now. Food and
feed crops at home in sufficient quan
tity to save the cash which has here
-Itdore bheen use.d to buy these sup
‘plieg will make it possible for our cot
ton growing sectiong to move for
‘wurd. There will be a safe moaey
“incom'e from the reduced cotton acre
‘age and other cash Ccrops. This pro
gram and this alone is the way out,
according to our best planters.
We want and need cooperation of
the strictest kind. ~“We want our far
mer neighbor to keep faith with us.
We want our Texas brother to real
ize as we do that cotton acreage must
be reducedq and we want him to abide
the custom of cutting his acreage, as
‘we are going to do. We have no
concern about the future if wte can
follow this schedule, nor need our
good farmers have alarm. The only
thing néces.sary is that they shall
keep the law. \
~ EDUCATION COMES HIGH.
Here is something to think
about: For every dollar spent
for education in America iast
year there were thre> dollars
spent for tobacco; nine for chew
ing gum, and fifteen for soft

Do you forget that this is the day

GEORGIA BANKS FORCED T 0 |
CLOSE, RESUME BUSINESS
Two Georgia banks which were fore
e to elose their doors during the reeent
depression have reopened for business
and will be followed by several others
within the next few days, according to
T. R. Benunett, state superintendent of
bhanking.
The hanks, which were reopened on
order of Superintendent Bennettt Sat
urday, arve the Merchants and Farmers
bank of Grantville and the Pcople’s
bhank of Gordon. |
Partial liquidation and issuance of
deposit certificates have enabled the
hanks to reopen, according to ‘he hank
ing official, and several others will fol
low his example within the next few
days.

world will not stand for another
great war. Even were the world dis
‘posed it could not stand another
great war. The nations must find a
way to compose their differences.
‘The only sure basis is a spiritual

\ ment.
WOMEN GIVE OUT,
Housework is hard enough when
healthy. Every Cordele woman who
is having backache, blue and nervous
spells, dizzy headaches and Kkidney
or bladder troubles should he glad to
heed this Cordele woman’s experi
ence:
Mrs. Frank S. Hudson, 307 Fourth
St., says: “Some time ago I had a
severe attack of kidney trouble, 1
felt tired and languidall the time and
my kidneys acted irregularly. ™v
back pained me continually and I had
terrible pains in the small of my
back, making it impossible for me to
stoop over to do my work. I would
get dizzy headaches and black specks
seemed to appear before my eyes,
blurring my sight. After taking
Doan’s Kidney Pills I was relieved.
Doan’s regulated my kidneys,
strengthened my back and rid me of
those dizzy headaches.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
