"W'heu the people of Georgia elevat :%‘C»‘dﬁvemor Nat B, Harrig to the of fice he now holds, they gignally hon ii’ﬁbﬁg‘étemn. Georgians seldom pass up an’ opportunity to honor a 'vetéran “when He is of the kind that may ren der a service in public office. Some ‘lib\;v. they love to do it. ; ‘Wheﬁ distinction went to the pres ent governor at the hands pf his state, ﬂiote who gave it to him were proud of their choi¢e. It has been custo- Jmary, likewise, to make the second térm of office a gift, whether the state's' chief happens to bé a veteran or otherwige. Those who made Har ii_l governor are not raising an objec tion to his record, nor are they yet _:villlllng to agree with the opposition "tﬁ’nt'hé fs not capable of fillihg {(he place, - Those wlio honored the old veteran Jare not going to help dishonor him i the present race. They are not go in% to stop to argue about the qualifi ¢dtions of others. They are also yet ‘willing to abide the custom of giving “the governor the sécond term. Some »ﬁ)w. it is their way of manifesting approval. To deprive Harris of this Gustomary second term would weigh ‘heavily with him, for it wuild amount to the strong disavowal of his acts as ”_"‘l;’;?}ﬁhfpublic official. It would amount to-taking the office away from him be fore the time customarily given him is out. : : sﬂggrs‘a will likely not have another ﬁpp;ﬁ ity to 80 honor a civil war %&eﬁn. Her people will cerm'lnly not have opportunity to so dishonor one as might he done in the repudiation of the present governor. To pass the thllgg briefly, a confidence thus reposed will not be a misplaced confidence. Other ‘candidates and their friends ‘know all this. They are not assailing the governor for his acts in office. Othars_hu've a right te ask fer the »oﬂice.-'however, and whoever forgets hea_rtily to accord them their rights is Mbtjust the kind to look to fer fair play. It is not a difficult task to ac cord everyone fair play and yet feel Alat Governor Harris is entitled to his second term. FARMING AS A BUSINESS. :gfff*’l’ilae principles which underlie profi table farming are not unlike those ﬁ)ﬁéh underlie the profitable conduct ‘of any other business. The difference is merely in the application. The one ﬁndament&l principle underlying all successful business undertakings s that the cost mus¢ be less than the gelling price. In the operation of this inciple agriculture is no exception. ﬁrﬁaing. however, is such a complex business, and the different enterprises ;,hiaking up the farm unit are so intri "&tely related, that is is often well %xsgh impossible to dgtermine the true ¢ost or the true selling price of a farm product. Hnweve;', the relation of any ,ﬁcwr in farming to the profits of the "W as a whole, by the stury of a large group of farms, can be fairly ac ﬁﬁrxﬁtely determined. This relation of the individual enterprise to the profits ; c;t the whole is perhaps the best guide " to successful farming and to an under standing of the principles upon which good férm organization is based. 3 For instance, a packing house wants #to buy a carload of hogs. The com pany lets Mr. Jones know its needs. He - makes inquiry and finds that in one 4%'Qimty there are a suflicient number mhpgs to supply this immediate ¥e ‘ﬂnd ifethey ean be sent to some cen z‘:&’ point for shipment. He sees that this is done through some representa % and reliable citizens in the coun i:mxives everybody a market.— ‘Savannah Press. " ride in an automobiie L%lm\ ho pays for the gas is be- THE BRIDGE AGAIN. i - Somebody in Cordele is going to make the move that will mean a bridge across Flint river at a point that will let in the large number of big farmers the other side who have leretofore been going to Americus and Aibany with their cotton and for their trade. All the way from Huguenin's Ferry to Cork, almost constantly the commissioners of Crisp county have been hearing dﬁrlng the past few days from people who live over the river and steady inquiries are being made as to whether there is a possibility of getting a crossing. ; It ought to be repeated again: Hard ly more than eight miles away irom Cordele, the farmers beyond the Flint are forced to go regularly to Ameri cus and Albany, twent‘y to twentfy-five miles ‘to transact their business. This is one thing makes it possible for Amerijcus to announce every year that it is leading in -cotton receipts. It enables Albany to take from Cordele trade territory an abundance of bus: iness, : It is not the cotton receipts that ‘alone hurt. It is the business that i takes away that justly belongs to this town. It hurts bankers, merchants and every line of business, on down the line, even to the candy counter and the peanut stand. A great slice of the business that would help here hag ito go to Americus and Albany because it cannot come across the river. The commigsioners of Crisp have in 'veaﬁtigate»a for enough already to find that splendid bridge can be construct ed at a figure that will not go over ten thousand dollars. An investment of such a fund in a bridge will repay us this and more in less time than it will ‘take us to pay for the bridge. It is not a matter to be passed lightly. The business man in Cordele who has not investigated has little idea of the de: velopment bordering the river on the lands lying in our trade territory. The bridge is an urgent - necessity. Tlts construction ought not to be delayed. ~ OUR IDEA OF PROHIBITION. Savannah went nine days out into the deep blue after May 1 before she had her first arrest for dunkenness. That’s encouraging. If Savannah can do it, the rest of the state ought to be able to get along. 1f Savannah wants to live without her liquor, you may be assured there will be no difficulty. And it is not much unlike other communi ties. People there do mostly as they want to do. The same is true with other communities. But the air-tight, ' no-rim-cut, iron bound prohibition laws, nor the fear of them, will prohibft people from ex cessive use of intoxicants where they want {o keep up the lick. The g}'eat thing now is sentiment. Savannah wants a better name and that city is willing to make the sacrifices for it. There are hundreds of citizens there, too, who have a higher regard for themselves and their fellows to in dulge the traffic further. It is the change of thinking that, is going t¢ do the work. ; . The day the last man of us begins to think the liquor traffic and the in temperate uses of whiskey are bad, is the day that will mark the doom of drunkenness. With the turning of time, sentimentb grows stronger, man hood holds a higher self respect and as this change goes on, liquor is going to give less trouble. The old sot in Georgia is trying har der today to join the ranks of the so ber than he ever did in his life. More drunkards are trying to quit, if we but knew it, than the rankest optimist ever dreamed of. The drinking man really knows now more than ever in his life that he is in the minority,—that it is stylish to be sober and to maintain a higher self respect. Let him alone. When he has no more of his old crowds to follow to the club room joint or ihe saloon dive, he will be a better man. And the ranks are thin ning fast, Many, many men quit May 1, %t: stay quit forever. * He knows it better than does his prohibition cam paigner. That's an argument that will get him, His other diversions, when he finds them, will make him a better citizent. ¢ : ’ : MARKETING DIVERSIFIED CROPS, /One' of the most timely announce ments coming from the office of ‘Com migsioner of Agriculture J. D. Price is ilie statement that in a meeting of the cominissioners of agriculture of the United States in Washington last week it- was ‘decided that-a'feasible plan could be worked out for marketing of food crops. Commissioners from the Southern states concluded that diver gified farming is now reaching such large proportions as to demand a sat isfactory plap for marketing these products to an advantage. Through small county organizations it is proposed to find what food crops are plentiful in' certain sections .and what crops have shown up short. The country is to be charted and notés made so that where certain products are needed, they can be supplied in time from sections where there is an sverproduction so as to insure a good market. IHe expects Georgia to bene fit largely from the system as soon ag it can be worked out. By such a plan it would be possible io secure a good market for the sweet potatoes that are usually over plenti ful here. The new system will easily provide a way for the farmer ‘to ascer tain where the botato output is most needed. And so it would be with the other crop output. : The next thing to do for the farmer who wants to diversify is to show him how to find the market where his out put will bring a fair price. If Commis sioner Price wants to do his constitu ents a real favor, he should keep this proposed system hot till it nets the farmers of Georgia something in the way of dependable methods of market ing their crops to the best advantage. Unless there is quick action in the right line, crop diversity will sustain a set back, for there is nothing so dis- couraging to the producer gs to find himself unable to dispose of the crop on which he has staked his year's ef fort. A Thomas county candidate for tax receiver is campaigning with eight au tos and a brass band. Must be some amolument in that office. A Macon firm bought the Americus issue of bonds for street improvement amounting to $30,000 the other day. It is a good sign when a Georgia concern can buy a Georgia city’s improvement bonds. That’s Georgia money working in Georgia. A New York Federal Judge sent a German lieutenant to the Atlanta pen itentiary this week for a term of eight vears for leading a conspiracy in this country to destroy munition ships of the allies. Two other Germans were sent up for terms of four and six years and there are . three more to come, That kind of medicine will stop German ac tivities on American soil. SR e e A R It is now generally charged that United States senators representing big corporations and money interests are. combined in their efforts to keep Brandies off the bench of the United States Supreme Court. Brandies is credited with winning his distinction on the side of the comman people against the big interests. If it had been the reverse, the assertion is made he might have been in his place long ago. It might be well to keep tab on Hoke and Hardwick in this fight. They are opposing the president and trying to block the appointment. The militia in border states are to help hold the Mexican situation. The Texas Rangers have long hoped for this opportunity. Texas, New Mexi co. and Arizona have orders from‘ the president to marshal their forces for the fray. It is said we now have more than 50,000 troops across the border. This looks like an American campaign on a broad scale. It means a cleaning up in old Mexico and the establish ment of a proper government to pro vide protection for the bandit-riddén industries. American interests be yond the border are too great to be lightly considered as they have been for the past three or four years. THE CORDELE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 14, 1016, - The Brovms are mi'klng the Cordele Dupa.tch one of the best newspapers of the state.—Rochelle New Era. i o e Our r=gid movement of troops to the Mexican border must mean something. This doesw’'t sound like note writing at all.' Let us hope it means order in Mexico, even if ‘we do have to fight for it. ' ? eet it ) ~ Otis 'Ashmore is leaving his place at the head of the Savannah public ‘schools after a term of more than thirty years. Hgq says he is quitting to take a rect. He is h good man who deserves it. ~ @eneral Peter W. Deldrim is a can didate for congress in the first dis trict to succeed Edwards who will not ask for re-election. The new aspirant is a man of fine qualifications and ought to be an eas)" winner. Few writers with a knqwledge of affairs in Europe now predict an ear ly cessation of hostilities. Those who offer any idea as to time -now assert that there will be three to five years more of it. . From the office of state commission er of agriculture comes information that the farmers of Georgia this year used 50,000 tons less of fertilizer than they did in a corresponding period last year. If Hugh Dorsey had all the things under his eye that they are saying ahout him over the state, he might change his mind about his popularity. Some of his “friends” have been very unkind in their remarks. The jury that spareq Branam’s life at his trial for murdering - Miss Eu banks 'possibly had in mind the good effect that his terrible deed had in clos ing the dives in Macon. Branam hard ly deserves so much mercy, if it could be " considered merciful to gend him away a prisoner for life to think on his crime. s Has An Eye On Us.

There was a large crowd, but an abundance of the dinner that was carried had to be tak en home as there was so much more prepared and carried than was neces sary. There were several speeches made by the patrons and teachers. The trustees re-elected Prof. B. C. McMichael and Miss Lola Lee, but they have not accepted yet. We hope they will be our teachers again. . Mrs. McMichael is going to teach a five weeks’ summer school, beginning in July. He will only give a course in penmanship, spelling and mathematics.

On top of fount will be a large electric- globe. Erected about this white ribbons will be painted with. the badge of the union, and on the white bow will be inscriped the letters “W. C. T. U.” This fount will we a monument to the loyalty and en ergy of-the local W. €. T. U. and the generous co-operation of the city au thorities.
