) Governor Walker offers martial law
{0 those who are hiding their deviltry
in Toombs county under the cover of
darkness. If the day should come
‘when the guilty should have to hide
cut and dodge soldiers as peaceful
citizehs are now dodging the mobs
with flour sacks over their heads, it
would serve the whole citizenship of
Too;nbs county right for permitting
such conditions to develop. Think of
.that jury—the twelve men and that
trial at Lyons!
This community and county needs
a b\!i@lng gssooiation of some kind—
one which will serve as a dependable
avenue through which the savings of
many people may go into the building
of ngw homes throughout the city and
county. We are building here ang
there in a way—but we might be mov
ing at a more rapid gait, Cordele
alone needs a hundred new homes.
There isn't a day that fails to bring
new calls. Here is a guess that at
logpt fifty families are living else
whigte and working this territory who
would be living in Cordele if they
could get homes as easily and as con
veniontly situated as in other south
Georgla centers. A building organi
zation of some kind is one of the
gredt hoeds for 1927 -
SWEET PEAS FOR SPRING
FLOWERING
Lato-fluwerlng‘, sweet peas are due
to, gb 'into Athfe'ground now while the
earlier flowering sorts planted in Sep
tember or October will be ready for
brush or chicken wire for their up
ward career.
As sweet peas delight in a deep,
cool root run for their best develop
ment and must be grown in the ccol
months to succeed, it is a wise plan
r.w follow the time-honored scheme of
planting them in the bottom of a six
inch trench, three-quarters of an inch
deep and then to fill in the earth to
the ground level as they advance in
growth. This incures cool roots and
is an easy method of handling them.
The‘ sweet pea likes rich soil and
plenty of fertilizer should be incor
porated with the earth before the
seeds are planted. The best soil for
staple farm crops is the best soil for
sweet peas. Soil that will grow fine
corn .will grow fine sweet peas. A
soil on the heavy side is better than
light soils where trouble will be en
countered with hot spells which check
the growth in a hurry and make the
vines easy prey to red spider and
other pests.
Do not plant too thickly. Let each‘
, plant have at least four inches of
room as a minimum. Some sweet-pea
experts declare six inches is none too
much, but the four-inch interval has
been found to be altogether practical
and gives more vines to the space
available. If there is any lack of rain
fall see that they have copious sup
!pltes of water to keep them going.
Rich soil, good drainage, a cool-‘
root run and plenty of moisture is a
Kprescrlpuon for unfailing success wlthi
sweet peas. It is not difficult to pro
vide it in most gardens at this season
of the year.
Most effective plantings in the gar
den come from groups of one color
in circles or in rows. The true beauty
and variety of coloring of the modern
sweet pea is best seen by this method.
Much of the effect is lost in a mixed
i)lantlng.
TRUTH ABOUT TOOMBS
With emphasis a citizen of Toombs
county has answered that the trouble
in Toombs county is ignorance. That
is an indictment which some proud
folks will want to deny, but it is S 0
nearly the truth generally that we
are not going to help anybody deny
it in Toombs county. Georgia has
an ignorant element that finds a pe
culiar pleasure in taking the Christ
mas holidays under the influence of
boot-leg liquor.
There had been enough -trouble in
the slaying which took ' place, but
when a lawyer who aided in the pros
2cution of the accused men who went
free is attacked and flogged it is not
only evidence that the court was after
the right persons, but it is abundant
proof that those same persons are
determined to take the law into their
own hands and in their cowardly
night prowling seek behind their
masks to frighten everybody into sub
inigsion,
‘ There was a day when tie poiiti
‘clahs took advantage of slacker in
(luences immediately after the war
and hell-raising got official approval,:
but it isn't going to get it now. Gov
ernor Walker deserves commendation
Tl’ox‘ his firm stand and his officia) acts
in seeking to check the outlaws in
Toombs. Public disapproval should
make it easy to get rid of the trouble.
But ignorance — that manifested in
rough-neck rule under influence” of
bootleg liquor —is the trouble
TQOMbBs vib » wm & i 35 & t‘l
It is encouraging to note that the
Klan denies having anything to do
with the mob's activities, General
Nathan Bedford Forrest, head of the
order in Georgia, madé the following
statement in ‘conneetion:
“The whipping of Attorney Brown,
at Lyons, was an unspeakable out-
Jage not only against the state of
Georgla, but against the entire organ
lzation of the Ku Klux Klan.
“There is no Klan in Lyons and
never has been one there. The mask
ed mob that attacked. the attorney
wore robes in imitation of the Klan
tegalia, but were not in any sense
tlansmen. [ sent an investigator to;
he scene when the attack came to
my attention and I am informed that
the mob wore flour sacks over their
heads and had white robes*bearlng‘
the letters ‘K. K. K.' This is not the
Klan costume and never has Dbeen.
The Klan robes are white with an em
blem on the breast, but no letters.
“The whipping of Attorney Brown
was done by a group of bootleggers
ind moonshiners who are attempting
10 run things high handedly in
Toombs county, The same bunch was
responsible for the murder of Willie
Wilson, g
“This is not the first time we have
had trouble in Toombs county with
masked mobs attempting to masque
rade as klansmen and commit out
rages of various kinds.
“The Klan will offer a reward for
the apprehension of the guilty parties
‘n this whipping affair.”

RELIEVING A MISAPPREHEN.
SION
Albany Herald:
| The news item from Albany
to the effect that J. G. Scherff
Manufacturing Company will
move its plant from that city to
Brantley, Ala., early in January,
has some significance in that it
is stated that one of the rea
sons for the change is that they
will have better power rates at
the new location. We have been
under the impression that Al
bany had as cheap power rates
as Alabama but knew all along
that towns like Sylvester were at
a disadvantage in the way of
rates for manufacturing pur-
; poscu‘—Sylve;ter Local,
t, Power rates had not the remotest
‘connection with the decision of tae
r' owners of the J. G. Scherff Manu
ifacturing Company to move the
| plant from Albany to Br;mtley, Ala.,
"When the report was published that
“high power rates’ were blamed: for
the company’s decision, the Herald
?set on foot an inquiry which = re
' vealed exactly what we anticipated
it would.
The head of the company states
that not only is there not the re
motest connection between power
rates and the decisicn of the com
pany to move to Brantley, Ala., but
that he had not considered the powcr
angle at all. The concern usespvery
little power, and the power rate is
not a material factor in its affairs.
This is not 3 ‘“textile industry”
as it has been referred to in publish
ed reports as being, nor is it capi
talized at $200,000, as reported,
but at $3OOOOO. Its only power re
quirements are for a battery of sew
ing machines for it manufactures
underwear out of nainsock purchased
in the open market. It is to be moved
to Brantley, Ala., because it is con
trolled by parties owning a group of
similar enterprises in that vicinity,
and because the class of labor it em
ploys—white girls to operate sewing
machines—is more plentiful in this
,section.
Albany would be glad to keep this
small industry, but power rates have
no connection whatever with the de
cision of its owners to move it. They
simply want it where they have other
enterprises, and where the class of
labor they require has been trained
in plants of similar character.

This was in 1862, :
There was an exhibit of electric
lighting at t.he Centennial Exposi

first exhibited at Menlo Pork, N.
J., at Mr. Edison’s laboratory in
1879.
The first central station, or plant
at which electric currrat was gen
erated for distribution to many con
sumers, was the Pearl Street Edison
Station in New York. This was put
in service in 1882.
The first use in any extengive way
of the alternating electric current
for lighting purposes began in 18365
The first home lighted by electrici

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
spread interest. Dr. F. R. Wallace, of
Cordele, and some of his friends
were present to see the lights switch
ed on, and the brilliant effect. They
did.
Dr. Wallace and members of the
party had rooms at the hotel. For so
cial or business reasons, the doctor
was out late that night, 2nd upon his
return to his room found both it
and the rooms of the other guests
most brilliantly lighted. Members of
the party were either sitting up or
lying acoss the beds, fully dressed.
“What’s the matter with you fellows,
why haven’t you retired at this late
hours?” inquired the doctor. “We've
tried every way to blow out these
new-fangled lights, doctor, and it
can’t be done,” they said. Dr. Wal
lace had by some means acquainted
himself with the mechanism of the
tHings. The “new fangled” lights
were soon switched off and all were
happily in bed.
All of which goes to iNustrate how
comparatively little was known only
a few decades ago about the produc
tion, distribution and omxiloynient
of electric current, whick is today
characterided as the uriversal ser
vant of man—the most easily pro
duced, most accurately measurable,
most dependable, most wiley adapt
ed to practical uses, altogether the
cheapest and best power medium ev
er known. What multiplicicity of
tasks at which it fingers work! And
it seems that we are standing at the
threshold of the electrical age. Even
the greatest scientists confess their
ignorance as to what electricity is,
and of the extent to which present
day spectulation and erperiments
may utimate in increasingly wonder
ful discoveries about it. We may be
sure that nobody can ‘“blow out this
new-fangled light” It can’t be done.
