EXPRESS AGENTS MUST
NOT CHARGE NOTARY FEE
Atlanta, April 30.—Attorney General
Clifford Walker this afternoon render
ed an opinion that agents of the ex
press companies in Georgia may not
charge for their services as notaries
in taking the aflidavits required by law
on each shipment delivered. Under
the new law cach agent of the ex
press company through whom delivery
or distribution of shipment is made
is clothed with the authority of a no
tary puhlig to witness an oath.
The question arose and was present
ed to Mr. Walker today: “Can the
agent making the delivery charge, in
addition to the express company's tar
iff for transportation of the package,
the customary legal fee of 30 cents for
witnessing each oath?”
Could this be done, agents at all the
stations where express offices are
maintained and especially those in the
larger places, would reap a rich har
vest from the individual package bus
iness.
JUDGES IN ROW OVER
FIGHT FOR COURTHOUSE
Dalton, May 3.—Judge Moses
Wright, of LaFayetts, who has been in
vited to come into the Murray county
court house fight, refuses to do so un
til Judge A. W. I'ite disqualifies him
self in the matter. The LaFayette
Tribune-Herald has the following to
say:
“A party of lawyers ' representing
one faction of the Murray county
court house and county commission
ers’ squabble appeared before Judge
Wright Wednesday in an attempt to
have him assume jurisdiction over cer
tain phases of the litigation. They
presented affidavits to show that Judge
Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, was dis
qualified in the case. Judge Wright
ruled that he would not take over the
case unless the lawyers would present
a statement from Judge Fite showing
that he considered himself disqualified.
“It will be recalled that Judge Fite
recently assumed chairge of a Walker
county court house case, holding Judge
Wright disqualified. Judge Wright la
ter declared himself disqualified, but
Judge Fite asserted that Judge Wright
was wrong, and has announced his
determination to continue jurisdic
tion over the case.”
THE CORDELE DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1916.
KEEPING BOYS AND
GIRLS ON THE FARM
Washington, D. C., May 3.—ln the
design and construction of the farm
house, the question of utility alone
should not be the determining factor.
The first thought should be the mak
ing of a home. The amount of money
to be invested in the building -of the
home should not be determined by its
relations in size to the balance of the
plant, nor by the amount that is nec
essary merely to provide a shelter, but
the amount to be iuvested should be
that which the owner may reasonably
afford without financially crippling
himself too severely. The average
city dweller in buying a house for a
home does not proceed solely on the
basis of what he can expect to secure
in case it is ever desirable to place the
house on the market. He is not like
ly to consider the purchase of a home
as a financial investment, but as a so
cial one, which will enable him to se
cure for his family the comforts and
conveniences that he could not se
cure in a rented house, and to have for
his family a genuine home, a genuine
home life. If he is able when the time
arrives to dispose of his property to
financial advantage, well and good; if
not, he considers, and properly so, that
he has made a good investment from
the social side.
There is no panacea that will cure
the yearning for city life evidenced by
the country boys and girls of today.
but there are certain conditions which
if established will add materially to
the attractiveness of life in the coun
try, and should theretore prevent them
from flocking to the cities merely to
avoid life on the fgrm. It is not to
be expected that every person reared
on a farm will desire to follow farm
ing as a life work, nor is it necessari
ly desirable that they should do so.
Many of the boys will feel a calling tc
one or another of the professions, and
it is probable than if allowed to follow
their bent, they will be far more suc:
cessful and contented than if overper
suaded to stay with the farm. The
problem is not to force the boys and
girls to remain on the farm, but to as
sist them in every way in making an
intelligent choice. Their choice can
not possibly be intelligent unless they
are familiar with farm life under its
best conditions.
GEORGIA APPLE MEN
EXPECT BUMPER CROP
Cornelia, Ga., April 29.—Apple grow
ers in this section are very optimistic
over the prospect of a b'umper crop this
year. The trees are well in bloom and
seem to have withstood the cold weath
er in a manner that gives assurance
of a splendid yield.
~ While the peach crop will be short
in some orchards, still there will be
enough to net the growers a splendid
sum from the fact that still greater
shortage has been reported in other
peach sections of Georgia, as well as
in the northeastern states, and a full
crop in these sections go far toward
determining the prices here.
KILLING OF M. OROVITZ
BLAMED ON PATTERSON
Waycross, Ga., April 29.—A verdict
pronouncing the death of M. Orovitz,
the méerchant who was found in an un
conscious condition Wednesday at one
of his stores here, and who died Thurs
day, as murder and placing the blame
for it upon W. W. Patterson and his
son Zeddie, was returned this after
noon by the coroner's jury investigat
ing the case since Thursday morning.
Patterson conducted a store across
the street from the Orovitz place.
While robbery was first believed to be
the motive for the attack, business
jealousy is accepted most generally as
the basis of whatever trouble existed
between Orovitz and Patterson. Offi
cers claim to have found a bloody in
strument in Patterson’s store with
which Orovitz could have been beaten.
The Orovitz case will be among the
first considered by the grand jury
which will convene next week.
BY A CORDELE RESIDENT.
The following has more interest for
Cordele risedinets’ than it otherwise
would have because Mrs. Bowen is one
of ourselves, a citizen of Cordele. If
it proves of assistance to but one per
son, it will have been well worth the
telling.
Mrs. R. E. Bowen, 311 Fifth Ave.,
Cordele, says: *“I have never changed
my high opinion of Doan’'s Kidney
P’ills since they cured me some years
ago. 1 haven’t had any kidney trouble
since and my former endorsement
holds good. I am always telling my
iriends about Doan's Kidney Pills and
I am only too glad to let them know
that this medicine cured me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Bowen had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Atlanta, Ga., May 2.—Stirred by re

ful increase in resources of these coun
ties as a result of diversification prac
ticed .during the past two years, the
Georyia Chamber of Commerce is tak
ing tlie matter up with e’very bank

crops in their county. : |
In discussing the matter President
Charles J. Haden said: : |
“The voluntary statement recently
furnished us by the President of the
Manufacturers National Bank of New
nan, is one of the most striking doc
uments in favor of diversified farm
ing, to the extent of supplying actual
home needs, which has come into our
possession in many monghs. Had
every county in the state done as the
county of Coweta, during the past two
years, the state would be more than
one hundred and fifty million dollars
better off in actual cash resources than
it is today.”

SEARCH FOR HENDRICKS .
STILL WITHOUT RESULT
Moultrie, Ga., April 29.—The search
for G. T. Hendricks, night engineer at
the Moultrie Packing company’s plant,
who has been strangely missing since
Friday night, continued throughout to
day, but revealed nothing indicating
the whereabouts of the missing man.
The hunt has been thorough and the
police tonight expressed the opinion
that neither Hendricks nor his dead
body would likely be found near this
city. A daughter of the missing man
was the ‘last person to see him, and
she stated that he appeared entirely
normal mentally, but that he said he
was suffering slightly from acute in
digestion. Hendricks is about 55 years
old, and came to Moultrie from Val
dosta about a year ago.
