Cash Communications on all topics published when not too long and accompaniea by full name and address. Not responsible for views expressed by contributors, Entered as second class'matter January 8, 1916, at the post office at Cordele, : - ® Georgia, under the Act of March 8, 1879, OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CRISP COUNTY. y a GIVE US ONE MORE LAW. ; ':\:Ve owe it to the boys and gifls of the state who have no showing at the gcholastic training provided for them cut of the funds.of Georgia for edu ~ cation to see that they get their few months in school and a compulsory . law, it seems to us, 1s long past due. Paternalism sucl as the state must ' e¢xercise in seeing that the youth have a reasonable time in school is a kind that should no longer seem to have its terrors. It should rather be wel comed by a citizenship that certainly by this time knows well that there iz a.greater army of boys and girls grow ing to womanhood and manhood with sout rudimentary education. Out of every thousand growu-ups in Georgia today seventy-seven persons cannot write their mvln names. This does not include the colored popula tion. There are forty-eight thousand white children in Georgia of school age who never saw the inside of a school building last year. That same num ber, and may be more, will not get any S(.:hooliug this year. It assures us a greater percentage of illiteracy, by far, than this state can afford. We are now nearly at the foot of the list of plates in illiteracy. ‘ Géorgia and one other state are the only two in the union that are now without compulsory education in some ~form. It is high time somebody hac the matter under serious considera tion. Representative Dorris of Crisp county is busy drafting a new com pulsory education law and he is study ing the subject in the hope of carrying with him to Atlanta a measure that will mean a step in the right direc tion. .He hopes to be able to do some thing for Georgia in this long delayed agitation for the education of the boy g‘;d fgh}l whose parents fall short of ‘.'!f;ﬁ!:“ duty. In Crisp county great good has been done without the law, for school boards, school officials and school trus tees ‘have worked late hours devising plans to get all the children into the fchd'bls aifid the showing is more than (".;'éeditable. Wonderful progress has heen made here and in other commu nities, but still there is an element Y%efﬂly_ short of the rudimentary re quirements and it is pretty gennerally believed that the state should go di " rectly to the work of educating its éhildren whose parents will never wil fi;'l’gl_v permit them to attend the schools leng enough to get the elemen tary training that is so necessary. The session of the Georgia legisla tyre that put the state prisoners on tﬁéjr—uad did a wonderful work. The legislative body that wrote into the statutes the present prohibition laws dld a still greater work, but the body of Jaw makers who think enough of the youth of Georgia to study out and write into the laws of the common- | &f’lﬂlh‘ such provisions as will guar- | antee an elementary education to those i who cannot get it in any other way, \'vill be doing an even greater work. | If Representative Dorris has a friend | in Crisp or any other county in the state with an idea that will help in the d?ﬁting of a practical measure for compulsory education, that friend should never stop till he has mgde it known. Crisp’s member of the leg islature has this thing on his heart and in his mind. If he succeeds, the re sults will be monumental. I:'HE WORLD AGAINST GERMANY. Will the people of the United States pelieve that German interests in this eountry are responsible for the unus '{'mily large number of telegrams that ?S'tm congress the other day pre railing upon that body not to upiiold ' &deﬂt Wilson in his stand again;t ;t"éf;snbmarine policy of the Hchenzol }feﬁ_;ovqmment? Members of congress ore mmlly buried in messages from 1: ,vv'; aha at the moment President "(' ras informing congress that : sy he had come to the part- ‘ } Revelations come with astounding | rapidity. That the German government is organized in force and working with great system in this country is shown almost daily in some new outcropping. While Germans are going to’prison in this country for participating in con spiracies, the German influence seems: to grow in volume and force. Therc is nothing in history to compare with the daring and the nerve displayed. It took sometime for the Washington government even to suspect that if was German influence that sent the thousands of telegrams which evident ly had for their mission the blocking of the purpose of President Wilson. And as the members of congress be gan to awake to the situation, while they smiled’ at the prank, they must have been impressed with the serious negs of such designs. : The Teuton is never asleep in this war. His influence is being felt aroum! the world. Ie will be bottled up some day on his native heath and driven back to his own hearth there to pay for the follies of militarism, but for the present he is all sorts of an un conguered cuss, : His activities in e'very land make it impossible for a people to remain neutral. German atrocities on the high seas have been amply sufflicient to turn the civilized world against the kaiser. Offenses against American citizens are not one whit less frequent in spite of the strained relations and if ever the diplomats of this coun try were “‘up in the air” is is certainly true now. ’ The Teuton ecan- incite a. rebellion on English soii as radily as he can op erate a machine gun in his own treach es. Old England in the past week came near losing her peaceful hold on the Emerald Isle and now that it is all over, the thing has settled down to German intrigue. If the United States goes through without a resort to arms the escapc will be as by miracle. How this ('q‘uu try is going to pass up German activi- ties within its own borders is a thing inexplicable now. The longer the Eu ropean struggle lasts the more deeply are we involved. But the rift is coming somewhere; the break with the United States may icome, but a speedier termination of the gigantic struggle must follow. And when in the interest of our own, this country is thrown into the war ‘the watch word with all the world set against the Teutons will be: “G’gj many must be destroyed,” in that gameo spirit manifested by the old Roman when he swore vengeance against Car thage: *“Carthaga delenda est.” NO TIME TO QUIT. The making of prohibition laws in Ceorgia will be no more in many a vear. There w.ill be those who will want amendments to present law, bul such changes are aimost sure of de feat, for a larger majority of the pco ple will desire to see the present laws put to the test just as they are, and many will look at proposed ('l\;\!xgq_:: vyith doubt and apprehension as to mo tives. Dickering with the laws will not be undertaken by any strong force. The organizations that brough prohibi bLition, so far as law-making is con cerned, will have no further like du ties to perform,—at least for the pres ent. But those same forces that worked for prohibition in Georgia will have enother field in.which t? work,—a ,:rou.ac‘r-ﬁom and greater and higher duty to perform. Let them not fer et that intoxicants will still reach the individual, and they will come in by both legal apd illegal routes. In s';‘Zzo of all law, drunkeness we will have still with us. And drunkenness is ¢till a crime against the community and the home, as it ever was. it has long ago been fully demon ctrated that prison bars will not stop (il'lll]li@llness or the tiger. No Ilaw ihat would step with less than exter mination will stamp it out and any 'mearzurc reaching such extremes 'is folly. But what can be done in the !way of writing into the statute books ‘legis'lation against the traflic has been done, and now to the higher duty. If we have it right the prohibition forees of the state are stil well organ ized. Let them go to the work of creat ing a sentiment against intemperate uge of alcoholic beverages. -There lies their duties. That is work that wili count. The field is a broad one. The business of lifting the intemper ate to the higher self respect, to the proper high regard for himself, his home and the laws of his country, i a (;;alling 'that is still noble. It is true, there may not be much opportunity for the scare head-line notoriety that fol lowed the making of the prohibition laws when they were under advise ment at the state capitol, but the high er duty of working in the hearts of mankind remains the same. The prohi bitionist of the right kind has just reached his opportunity. It is now no time to quit. WORKING FOR THE BRIDGE Great encouragement has been given the movement for the construction of a bridge across the Flint river during the past ‘'week and men on hoth sides of the river are devising plans. Therc are two plans-—one for a bridge ai Murray’s Ferry and the other for o hriilge at Huguenin’s Ferry. Oflicials cf Sumpter and Docly counties want the bridge at Murray’s, while nearly all the people beyond the river and the people of Crisp on this side want the river spanned at Huguenin’s. Dooly county will hardly join in the construction of a bridge on the Crisn county border. Commissioners of Crisp county are hardly loking for l)oo])';s assistance in such an enter nrise. On the other hand while Dooly county wants a bridge over the river at Murray’s, the commissioners will hardly expect Crisp to help beyond its -own border. It is a matter much to be regretted that the commissioners of Sumpter county are not as one with the Crisp, cdunty commissioners in the plan to construct the bridge at Huguenin's STATEMENT OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNTY COWM MISSIONERS OF CRISP COUNTY FOR APRIL, 1916. ¥- ROAD FUND ’ 4723 W.

It is in these communities, as a trading center, that Cordele is most vitally interested. There can be no doubt that the people over the river want the bridge at Hu guenin’s, for they have sent represen tatives to Cordele prepared to pledge their individual subscriptions to the fund that will go to the building of the bridge. Crisp might well go ahead with the plans. If they cannot have the sup port of Suwmpter as a county, they cer tainly can have a reasonable support from the people of the towns and com munities bordering the river who want to contribute as individuals. That sup port, if it is really strong, will bring Sumpter to the rescue sconer or laﬁ ter, for the commissioners of that coun ty are not going to stand by and see the citizens do the work themselves. Moultrie entertains the Georgia coun ty school officials this week, begin ning with today. This is a select crowd-—just the kind for the proud little city of packing house fame. People around Albany ‘and Moultrie are complaining about the apparent wholesale slaughter of the fish in the streams by those who go fishing with lime and dynamite. The game warden to the rescue! Germany has graciously consented to let the United States have a shipment of dyestuffs of not over 15,000 tons. It will take more than that to placate Uncle Sam on the submarine atroci ties. The fight between the railroads of the country and the trainmen for the eight-hour day is getting to be some hot fight. We hope the right side wins. And in the meantime we hope those transportation crews whe--are now some of them drawing more than $2OO per month will not forget that in the clerical department of their own lines there are thousands of honest, hard working employees who are drawing . $6O to $BO per month.on much. longer hours, because the railroad can not afford to pay them more. One-half gallon of liquor, or one gal ion of wine or forty-eight pints of beer —why should we worry about May/l? Holland and South American coun tries, from all appearances, are hear tily in sympathy with the United States in the submarine controversy with Germany. There are doubtless ‘others, too, who would iike to see this icountry show an iron hand. It is a pity that Hoke and Tom could not stop congress from contin uing tariff duties on sugar. The na tivnal government needed the money and nccessity knows no law. Tommie argued with them about it though, 'and big Hoke egged him on. It will now be Judge Duponthuer ry. Governor Harris has named lion. Dupont Guerry to succeed Judge Rob ert Hodges in the city court of Macon. We wanted to see Uncle Joe Hill Hall get this place, and so did Mr. Guerry, s 0 we are told, for there was a deep po'-.'sonai friendship between the two, sG strong that the hionor and the omce were but secondary. The new incum- Lent is a man of fine character and sniendid qualification. In a published statement the other day Rev. Haymore of Moultrie, im pressed witlt the burdens of a world gone wrong, pledged himself to preach more faithfully, toO work harder for the common good, and to give more of his life to lifting his fellow man to a higher plane. And all this without a word of impatience or a threat to throw the hardened sinners into pris on. There is yet a bit of Christianity left in the world.
