BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
A LOVE FEAST:—Better is a dinner
of herbs where Tove is, than a stall
ed ox and hatred therein, Proveris
15:17.
~ The order cancelling permits to
vintners does not apply to people of
that class in Georgla for the reason:
that under the Georgia law there can
not be any vintners.
Gerald Chapman has a lease of an-i
‘other year on life. One good thingi
about it—he will have more time to
gepent of his sins :
There will be uo paper issued from
the plant of The Dispatch tomorrow. |
‘With the hope that the whole com
munity may observe with a proper
spirit, today’s paper goes to its read
ers with this notice.
The printable stuff in a divorce suit
—aB printable stuff goes in this day
and time—is bad enough. When Kip's
case gets to that stage where it is
unprintable, it must be going in high
gear. But then there ought to be a
conscience, even in yellow journalism,
and yellow journalism is making his
tory when it balks at the “high yal
ler.”
~Not all the' evidence was given in
‘the inquiry into the disaster of the
Shenandoah, and Foley's associates
are now busy trying to ascertain why
it 'was not given. May be that oc
curred when Foley was off his job
geeking to tell Mrs. Lansdowne what
.to say when she appeared as a Wit
ness. This feature should have af
forded cxcitement enough to make
gomebody forget something
THE DRAM LOVER
old man Johin Sbhannon over at Com
merc¢e is right as usual in his disser
tation upon the plea for amendments
to the prohibition laws—those who
say this country needs its modifica
tions in the law are usually dram
lovers. Nothing wrong about that so
far as we can gather when we look
out upon the situation and try to de
liberate calmly about it.
* He says:
«Some anti-prohibitionists would
have us believe that sentiment, like a
surging storm o a sweeping cyclone
was sweening over the country, in
favor of awending the preseunt law,
but, there's ne sort of danger, and
no body knows that better than the
bunch that is putting out all that
sort of propaganda. The fact is when
reduced to its final analysis, wheun
you get down to sub strata; when you
reach rock bottom, nine of every ten
men, or women, who favor a change
in the law, are fond of their dram.
he next time von hear somebody
jacking wvp the law, just step aroung |
and ask a few of his neighbors about
his habits of {emperance.’ ‘
And we have' to suggest turther |
that the real trouble we will have in
tixe future will be the sypocrisy which
will be shown in our jury service.
our dram lovers do jury duty. They
git in judgement on those who getl
“pinched” for violation of the prohi-l
bition laws when it isn’t right. The
bootlegger is a bad individual. We
have real problems that arise in deal
ing with him because of the fact that
his customers sit on the jury which
tries him. The juror who does that
is a bald, bold hypocrite—and a
worse citizen than the bhootlegger—
if one can be worse than the bootleg
ger. Jones county has a sheriff—an
officer of the law who is today hold
ing his office while he is a convict
in the federal court for having accept
ed money from bootleg and moon
shine operators in the form of a “hush
fund.”
TO STUDY THE STARS
What light the stars of the South
ern hemisphere can throw on the con
gtruction, origin ang destination of
[the sidereal universe, a problem with
which many wastronomers are strug
gling, may be made known by the
telescope of the Yale observatory sta
tion erected on the campus of Witwa
tersand University at Johannesburg.
One of the essentials in this prob
lem is the present arrangement of
the stars in space and this necessi
tates a knowledge of their distances.
Similarly, a knowledge of the motions
of the stars gives a clue to their ori
gin and to the forces at work in the
universe.
Dr. Frank Schlesinger, director of
Yale observatory, has just returned
from South Africa where he direct
ed installation of the large photo
graphic telescope, the most powerful
of its kind in the Southern hemis
phere.
The two principal problems to be
undertaken are the measurement of
the distances of nearly 2,000 stars
lnml the movements across the sky
lof many faint stars. These will re
l'g.m'“ from seven to ten years for
Imeh' completion, said Dr. Schlesinger
but “after that similar problems will
be taken up and probably the station
will be in operation for many years.
Dr. Schlesinger said the telescope
was erected at Johannesburg because
from the northern sites only a little
more than half the sky can be ob
served.
“Northern stars also have been ob
gerved in many respects while the
Southern have remained partially or
wholly untested,” said Dr. Schlesinger
“g 0 we decided to put our telescope
gouth of the equator and try to cure
the disparity in certain definite prob
lems. ‘
“I believe that on the high Veldt
or plateau all the necessary (:ondi-j
tions are fulfilled better than at any
cther known site in the Southern hem
‘isphere, and perhaps as well as at any
gite either north or south of the equa
tor."
The observatory, as well as a resi
dence built by the University for the
occupancy of Dr. Harold L. Alden,
who will remain in charge of the tele
scope, were publicly opened by the
Frinco of Wales on his visit to that
country.
[ UPP AND IVYWILD
- Although he has passed in the flesh
{he spirit of George Upp, the paint
er, still lives on in the quiet beauty
of the retreat he establisheq years
ago in the heart of these opulent
Illinois grain fields.
Wielding palette and brush for
more than half a century, and ac
tive almost until he died last year,
George Upp fashioned a studio and
a place of refuge from the bustling
world at Ivywild farm which has be
come known to the ends of the coun
try.
Upp was buried beneath the cool,
friendly trees on the flower swept
lawn of Ivywild. The headstone is
a life-sized lion in cement, which he
made. Nearby is the studio he con
structed and in which many of his
best pictures have a permanent home.
Vigitors by the hundreds flock to
Ivywild to see the gallery, to picnic
under the treeg, and to talk with mem
hers of the household of the white
naireq artist whose presence still
coems to hover near the treasures he
leit behind.
Inside, in the long gallery, with its
mirrors reflecting the rows of pic
‘turos through interminable vistas, the
‘last work of the artist is displayed, a
's-imple sketch of the surrounding
flelds and orchards, poignant in its
urfinished state. Close at hand is’
the palette and brushes with which
he mixed his last colors.
In his long career, Upp paintéd
thousands of pictures. Theyware scat
tred to all parts of the United States
and even to 'toreign countries. Al
though he specialized as a portrait
painter, he was equally as skillful in
other fields. Nothing delighted him
more than to paint the placid beau
ties of nature, scenes in the fields,
meadows and orchards and flower-‘
lands near his home.
Though past eighty at the time of
his death, his enthusiasm and enter
prise was unflagging. He was con
tinually planning new work, his eyes
te the future. Just a few years ago
a fire destroyed Upp’s dwelling, iig
cluding many of his finest paintings,
treasured through years. This follow
ed shortly the death of a son,
Rebuilding hig home and adding a
gallery, his ready brush soon had it
stocked again with pictures, and thus
it remains to this day. :
The gallery was constructed so that
it might be used as a dance hail by
his neighbors and friends. Outside
were long picnic tables, swings, col
orful gardens and other enticements
for the amusement and entertainment
of his guests, who were free to come
and go as they pleased. |
s STIFF LYING STYLISH
When the Klan and the Knights
of Columbus get tired of spending :
money then the Stephenson case
in Ohio will be settled and not
before then., Both sides are mak
ing jackasses out of themselves
over the matter. The public does
not believe much of the stiff ly
ing that is being done in the case.
—Bainbridge Post Searchlight.
But‘then we must not forget that in
such cases as this it is stylich to
engage in bald faced false testimony
‘Money was no object. The other side
‘has won—at least temporarily. They
‘h'ave rushed Stephenson off to the
‘ntate prison before even his plea on
‘motion for mew trial is heard. In most
Istates in this country of the glorious:
ly free the accused has his right to
‘his day in court, but a Klansman has
no such rights in the eye of the Clan
ne Gael; Stephenson may have to
pay for his gay time in unlawful
pleasures, but we just hate to see £0
much money spent and so much bit
ternegs shown anywhere around a
court of justice.
PUTTING A BROTHER RIGHT
Dawson News:
Noting that several country banksg
in South Georgia have a million dol
lars on deposit and owe ncthing the
Madisonian remarks:
No matter what the).' say
about the marshes and malaria
and mosquitoes and bad water,
vou've got to hand it to South |
Georgia when it comes to being i
progressive. I
That somehow reminds one of sour |
grapes. But, be that as it may, curi
brother at Madison knows very little
uf South Georgia—this section of itl
at least, As to ‘‘bad’’ water, there
is no purer more wholesome water
in the world than that supplied by
the deep wells to be found through
out South Geoi‘gia. From the stand
point of health there can be no cem
parison between it and water from
the surface wells of middle Gem-gie.‘i
As to malaria, there is very little of |
it.” It is under’control and by proper
hygiene has practically been stamped *
out. The mosquito also has been con.
quered, and will scon be a curiosity
in many communities. The writer lid
not see nor was he serenaded by a
mosquito in Dawson the past sum
mer—an experience, no doubt, which
our Madisonian friend cannot claim.
There are no marshes in much the
greater part of South Georgia, and

many good counties in that section of

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
Georgia we venture ‘to say it has as
many swamps and low areas and
'more waste »and than are t‘o be found
%in Terrell ccunty.
‘ Our Madison friend has the same
'mistaken idea about South Georgia
'that obtains arfiong many in middle

BE SURE YOU GET GENUINE
OLIVER CHILLED REPAIRS
Each Oliver plow is backed by the Oliver
guarantee. This guarantee holds good only
when this plow is equipped with genuine Olivey
repair parts. If you equip your Oliver plow
with bogus repairs you not only sacrifice the
quality of work of your implement, but also
your claim under the guarantee. .
Bogus shares do not fit properly and a plow
equipped with them cannot do the quality of
work expected.
Be sure that each chilled share you buy bears
the Oliver trade mark cast into the back of the
