We must pause a moment to remind
our friends that Sinclair must dis
gorge in the Tea Pot Dome naval oil

for a bribe of a snug little fortune.
This newspaper predicted when Fed
eral Judge Kennedy gave this rich
grab to Sinclair that the decision
would not hold, It has been turned
down and Sinclair has been ordered
to disgorge his hundreds of millions.
Our young friend Shope up at Dal
ton says Congressman Tarver is not
altogether his congressman, Well,
that's ungelfish, we should say, and
we do notwish to be eryptie about
it. It may be that we will have a
chance to enjoy some of his fine
services, too, as well as those of
Congressman Crisp, Of course, Con.

this country of the pesky republicans
—and then Congressman Crisp is go

What a delightful day to which all of

Our farmers do not want a grea(:
deal of sympathy. They cannot live
on that. But we mean that most of
them have learned their lessons and
are not looking for governmental re.
lief. llf they are, they still have real
disappointment coming, Despite low

here. We have many reasons for
saying this,
Judge Max Land in a communica
tion on this page today suggests
governmental relief in the form of a
special session of congress. There
fsn't any doubt of the need of relief
in the form of a better value for the
farmer's dollar, but it isn't coming
from Coolidge and the present ad
ministration, Calvin Coolidge has
been president of the United States
long enough to have found out that
there are millions of people engaged
in agricultural pursuits in this coun.

But Coolidge doesn’t know that-——nev.

tariff friend of the manufacturing

by, The farmer isn't in his mind.
We will not only never see the

ing relief, but we will not even see
such measures as will put farming on
an equal footing with the manufac
turer in any regular session of con
gress if Coolidge is to be entrusted
with the task. The farming west and
south will have to battle the east,

powerful machinery for class legis.

til the agricultural sections of the
country unite in a revolt of tremend.
ous proportions, there will bhe no
chance to remove the high tribute
which the farmer is paying the manu.

what he has to buy is what is des.

to get back in returns for his crop
an amount which will make both ends
meet in the wind up of the year—
that's what is taking the smile out
of the man on the farm, We cannot
pay the priceg we have to pay for
farm implements, fertilizer, farm sup.
plies, hardware, tools and household
supplies and then take ten cents a
pound for our cotton and live at it,
It's a certain losing proposition,
But here we are with more than
fifteen million hales of cotton this
year and a carry over from last year
that is enough to kl’m:k out the fire,
But if we sit down and cry, that

|THE DISTRESSED FARMER
Editor Cordele Dispatch: i
This section is in the very heart of
the best farming section of Georgia,
but listen: A small farmer (share
cropper) and a good man told me the
other day that he had worked hard
all the year: that his wife and chil
dren had worked making the erop,
often not having enough to eat; that
when his supply bill and fertilizer
bili was paid that he would not have
a dollar, and that his family would
have to do without shoes or clothing
for the winter. Listen, he is one
among tens of thousands all over this
country.
Again, one of the largest farmers
of the country said to me: ‘lt is true
this is a good country, but it has got
ten 50 a man cannot make a living
farming.” Something is wrong—radi.
cally wrong and-every thoughtful
person knows that this is true.” The
farmers debts are due and they are
forced to sell their cotton below the
cost of production in order to meet
their obligations, while their fany
lies suffer for the actual necessities
of life. This is true and it is wrong
This condition is a tidal wave to
hundreds of thousands of homes
throughout the cotton belt.
The National government alone is
the only thing big enough to handle
and control this situation. The gov
ernment has done a great thing for
the farmers executing liens upon
in their reach for making crops by
the farmers evecuting liens upon
crops, mules, lands, cows and hogs
as security for loans of mo‘ney, and
by this arrangement thousands have
been enabled to remain upon the
farms and make erops whilt the
balance of the \\'flld is obliged to
have. This was a wise and philan
thropic law, but it was also a very
necessary one, but it = should go
further, however, and provide that
the farmer can deliver his cotton re
ceipts on pay day as security, with
the right to hold the cotton, and
have same marketed in an orderly
way, so that he will not be forced
to give up the fruits of his toil while
his family suffers for the actual ne
cecsities of life,
I'verything comes 'out of the earth,
and we are all dependent upon the
farmers and should have gratitude
enough for the man who, by his toil,
furnishes us with what we must have
to live, to see that he has just re
turns for his life of toil. Ask the
price of cotton and then go into a
store and price cotton goods and
you will readily see that something
is wrong. This is not according to
the law of nature but it is purely an
artificial condition that can be cor
rected by laws forcing the artificial
condition back to the laws of nature
and to common honesty and decency,
wthout which the character of the
nation is bankrupt,
Agriculture is the most important
thing we have, the very life blood
of the nation, apd when the farmers
are prosperou'fi*\'e all prosper, but
when they sliffer, as they are just
now doing, then all the others suficr
{rom boot-blacks to rich men. If the
farms are abandoned in a short while
the steam will die out of the boilers
of every enterprise in this country
and the locomotives will stand idle in
the round-houses of every railroad
in the country. 1
A great disaster is right now upon
the country. The people of the west
and of the south should immediately
join hands, regardless of any party
ism, get together upon this subject
and call mass meetings and by reso
tions and petitions to our president
urge him to call a special session of
congress to consider the distressed
condition of the agricultural world
and pass laws that will relieve the
corditions, so that cotton can be puat
upon the market in an orderly way.
It will require the government to
do this work, as no other agency is
big enough or strong enough to do
the job, in fact, it is big enough and
strong enough to do anything it real
ly wishes to do. The welfare of the
manufacturer is also at stake as well
as the farmer, for the people are
not going to have money to buy the
‘mhnutut’un'ed artidlés, and 'winter
stocks of goods will remain on the
shelves of the merchants while their
own bills fall dué and cannot be
met. il 4
Now is the supreme. moment for
action.
Respectfully, '
MAX E. LAND
GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
MAY BUILD NEW LINE
WASHINGTON, October 1—(/P)—
An application for permission to
build 56 miles of new railroad from
Augusta, Ga., across the Savannah,
‘river to Greenwood, S. C., was
placed before the interestate com
merce commission today by the Geor
' gia and Florida railroad.
The corporation has been organiz
“ed to take over the 404-mile line of
the Georgia and Florida railway,
which is now in receivership, the ap- |
plication explained, and desires the
extension to Greenwood in order to
make its line up with through north
i:md south routes.
1 The financing plan for the reor
ganization of the Georgia and Flori
da system is said now to be before
the court conducting the receiver
ship for approval.
TAX PAYERS MUST BE

N ] \ 'r
AND WILL BE GIVEN .
The ery of the day is for relief from ex-. =
cessive taxation, Taxpayers of Georgia ave |
hearing unnecessary burdens and should be giv
cn relief, They will be given relief with a busi- |
ness administration” by Dr, L, G. Hardmang-a
man who has attained a success in every busi- |
ness venture that he has undertaken.
The state highway department is impreg
nated with more than fourteen hundred unnec
essary employees that should be eliminated.
Many of these men arve today riding in cars and
rucks owned by the state, using the taxpayer’s
noney to eampaign for their boss, John Holder.
On nearly every highway in the county one
nay observe machinery that has been abandon
«d at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
With Dr. Hardman on the job in Atlanta
as Governor the grafting politicians will be
routed. Business efficiency will be the keynote
of the Hardman administration. Every dollar
will be made to count. FThere will be no waste.
In order to effect these savings and give relief
to the burdened taxpayers of Georgia the voters
must rally to the Hardman banner. It will be
a great day in Georgia history when Hardman
enters the governor’s office next June as our
chief executive,
VOTE FOR DR. HARDMAN NEXT WED
NESDAY AND SAVE GEORGIA.

ATHLETE RESCUES WOMAN
TRAPPED IN FLAMING ROOM
NEW YORK, October 1-—The win
ner of many medals for athletic
prowess, Siegmund Klein, combined
suppleness of muscle with undaunted
courage Wednesday to rescue a wom

off. Klein, who has a physical cul
ture school on the third floor,re
gponded. Unable to reach Mrs.

costuming establishment by kicking
in a window sash, He took the now
gemi-conscious woman down the way
he had come up.
