per and also the local news published
herein. ”
Mr. Coolidge is very profound—
and silent. He dignifies the presden-i
¢y with an acceptance of the repub- |
lican nomination without a smile.
All the papers continue (o say
good things about John Davis. His
acceptance speech frightened the re
publicans , more than McAdoo's pre
ferential primaries—and that’s say
ing a great deal. .
The fellow who sneaks around with
a pistol hidden on his person is a
dangerous thin in ‘breeches—and
something like ninety-nine percent a
coward. Sooner or later his gun gets
him into trouble—and makes trouble
for somebody else,
The peanut marketing association
is giving Cordele quite a volume of
business in the peanuts which are to
he marketed. There are real housing
advantagcs here in the low freights
and the low insurance. These apply
on cotton, May we inquire what is
keeping the cotton association out
of Cordele with its cotton?
Some of the poor Georgia Under
wood sports are still stabbing at Mec-
Adoo. McAdoo’s friends are accused
of making the trouble in the choeice
ot a chairman of the nationa! demo.
cratic committee, It isn’t so—Dhut
why shove that denial under the
nose of one of those who got licked
in the preferential presidential pri
mary? McAdoo supporters, we ven
ture to believe, will make as good
fighters for democratic victory in
the fall as some of the others.
The evolution nightmare and the
fight against fvnds for puhli_c libra
ries in the counties of Georgia have
mafforded northern and eastern papers
abundant material for ridicule of
the Georgia legislature at the pres
ent session, We had thought for one
time this sesion was going by with
such a constructive program as
weuld force commendation. But the
papers in other sectins have been
used to poking ridicule at Georgla
when the legislature meets and, of
cours€ something had to he done to
keep it up. We sometimes wonder if
the anti-evolutionists Pope and the
tkree-book representative Wilberly,
el Laurens believed the silliness they
preached in order to get into public
print.
" THE FARMER'S NOBLE FIGHT
Regarduess of the final out
com?® of this vear's crops it must
be said in justica to the Jarmers
that they have put vp a gallant
fight., They have bteen on the |
job éarly and late and we are
convinced they will have some |
thing to show for their work.— |
Jackson Progress Argus. |
While there were some four hum
dred and thirty-one bank failures in
the great northwest from January to
July this year, the Georgia farmer
was digzing in and makine his crop
r his own resources. He had no
large credit margin—nothing with
wkich to buy his scppiies, and no
Jrospects of money with which to
make the crop. |
* But he Qid not stop and throw up l
Fis hands. Almos: without exception
in this territo;y he went to his work ‘
with even greater determuination to
do it without the cash and make the
’cmp on faith and hard work, That
le has succeeded in very large meas
ure is abundantly evident in the
fine crops which are now made,
The farme-s who made these crors
under such adverse circumstadces
are invincible in their will and hard
work., They have won their crops
this season against the greatest odds
they have ever faced. Five.scasons
they faced crop failure, But they work
ed this year as though fortunes lay
st ahead. P
Nothing in courage ang heroism
like that shows up in every day life.
EVERYBODY WANTS THIS
CHANCE
The Seaboard is planning to re-
move the Shoo-Fly {rains which
come here from Helena in the morn
ing and stop at Americus, and return
at night an® stop at Helena. Patrons
of the line feel that they cannot af
ford to lose any more of the traing off
this line. That would leave only one
train a day cach way.
Brt there is an intimation that the
oificials of the road could he induced
to extend the Savannah west bound
which now stops at Helena on
through to Columbus and a r'eturn
train from Columbus through to Sa
vannah. This woulflt give all the
towns and cities along the like a
double through service that should
mean something far better than what
exist at present. .
There is little wonder that the
present arrangement does not mean
anything. Only at an early hour in
the morning can a passenger leave
Savannah and come through to Cor
}jdolc on _the Seaboard. Twenty-four
hours lapse before that can be done
‘ again,
‘ The Helena-Americus local is not
}n possible money earner for the road
~—never has been and could never be,
That is a foregone ecnclusion. We
bave never understood 'why this Hel
cna-Americus trainp runs. We have
never understood “'11)" the Seaboard
officials do not care to run but one
train every twenty-four hours from‘
Savannah through to Columbus—
to Montgomery.
If the owns along the line will oin
C'ordele and secure the extension of
the Savannah night train service}
from Helena on through to Columbus
or Montgomery, there will be a dif
ferent story to tell as to earnings—
and a better satisfied traveling pub
lic along the Alabama Division of
the Seaboard. The officials of the
road are going to get permission to
remove the Helena-Americus train if
the Public Service Commission will
erant the request. There will be no
donbt about a deficit in earnings.
It is our time to act so that the
through night service may be had on
that section where the shoo-fly ser
vice 'is suspended.
SEABOARD POULTRY TRAINS
The Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company has the figures on the poul
try trains which were run this year
on the Alabama Division covering
this territory. These are indeed inter
esting and encouraging for they
show that twenty-five thousand eight
hundred dollars were paid out to farm
ors by these trains for their poultry
oflerings,
Cordele furnished 8,812 pounds
for cash returns of $1,923.98. The
A B. & A at Cordele supplimented
this with 3,652 pounds for cash re
turns amounting to §798.05. This tp
tal put this point ahead of all others
on the Alabama Division of the line.
It was three times as mu‘q,h as came
in from Americts and many times
what came from other poigts as large
in farming activity. Lyons came very
close to Cordele, furnishing $2,715,10
worth for a tonage of 12,313 pounds.
As a poultry point for the Seaboard
trains Cordele stood in !]l\‘: lead. But
that is a mere intimatiop ghit there
was interest in poultry in ghr's section
tkat counted. Business people here
should appreciated it, for Qhalt much
foreign cash at the time was .indeed
a help.
The Seaboard should “have the
heartiest appreciauo;x of Ythose to
whom it brought the pouitry market.
This was an experiment in poultry
development which is su‘to mean
more business. It will in the ulti
p‘.ate become a means of enlarging
poultry income. It was a method of
pointing the way and whether it paid
the railvoad or not, it was a mission
ary move that will in future count
in the developmert of business and
more inceme,
This thing can be done over and’
cver again, Poultry production may
thus bc' helped into the making of a
permnanent income here., As for us,
we appreciate the effort,
. A BOY JERSEY BUILDER
‘ln open competition with fifty
mature breeders, young Sandy Ber
ry, of Grepevine, Tarrant Ccunty,
Texas, won first prize in the judg
ing competition at the Texas Jersey
Cattle Club Picnic, recently held.
ihis feat is rather astonishing and
calls attention to the very useful
vwork which a county agent may per
form, and to the effectiveness of the
Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs as a train
“'m.g}; school for progressive breeders
and dairymen. A |
In the spring of 1923 Sandy’s old
¢ brother bought a pure-bred heif
or through the County Agent and the }
American Jersey Cattle Club Caltl
C'lub. Sandy, however, was not so{
fortunate and had to be satisfied
with a grade calf. He had his heart
en having a pure-bred of his own,
Lut it could not be managed that
vear, so he covered up his disappoint
ment by trying his hardest to get his
grade calf in good shape to show
for the A, J. C. C. Premium Money
«! the Grapevine Commuity Showl
that was held in the Fall of 1923.
At the same time mne had a pure
bred pig, and this handled so success
fully that he won fifty-three dollars
lin premium money with it when it
was shown at the Southwestern Ex
fl)mitinn and Fat Stock Show.
) Sandy's success with his pure
bred pig convinced his father of thc!
’vulue of pure-bred hogs Qf good type
lnml as a result Mr. Berry is nowl
‘breeding hogs of this calibre. This
fsuccess with pure-bred pigs made
it possible for Sandy to purchase a
pure-bred Jersey calf which :he is
now raising. |
Since the two boys became inter
egted in club work, Mr. Berry has
also undertaken to gradually repiace
Lis entire grade herd witn Register
cd Jerseys, feeling confident that a
new period of prosperity and pro
gressiveness lies ahead.
It will be seen from this descrip
tion of" Sandy’s success that at elev
en years of age he is an accomplished
judge, and has made a splendid start
as a successful breeder of pux'e-brc(l‘
stock. And in addition his family
