ing of popular love songs will not be

Protestant kpiscopal churches in the

BANKING ON CANE CROP.
Thomasville, May 18.—The sugar
cane crop hids fair to be a good one
this season, and though a little more
moisture would not be amiss just now,
the lack of rain for a month more
would not seriously injure the crop,
should there be a heavy fall later in
the summer.
The acreage is good and everything
planted seems to have come up, even
to the stubble. More than usual in
terest is being taken in this crop, as,
it the price of sugar keeps soaring,
as of late, some are predicting that
they must be brought to use “long
sweetening” or home-made brown su
gar.

NEST OF GERMAN SPY
DISCOVERED AT TAMPA
Tampa, Fla., May ,B.—Captain O.
N. Bie, in charge of the government
engineering work here, discovered
what he believes is the nest of a Ger
man spy who for a year past has been
employed as a watchman on a pon
toon owned by the government in the
river in the heart of the city. The
man had been allowed to build a lit
tle shack on the pontoon and live
there in return for acting as a watch
man. Today the pontoon was need
ed and he was ordered to move. He
refused, but was put out.
In searching his place wireless ap
paratus, photographic apparatus and
copies of code messages were found.
The man disappeared when ordered
out. Two nearly new tents, marked
with “U. S. Medical Corps and Thir
ty-nine Coast Artillery” were among
his effects. The man was German,
but little else is known of him, no
one knowin¥ his name, though he has
been on the pontoon for a year.
LOANS NOT NECESSARY ... ..uva
WHEN HOGS MEAN CASH
Moultrie, Ga., »ay 18.—That there
have been less applications for loans
from farmers this year than has ev
er before been the case in the state
ment made by local bankers. Usual
ly there is a large demand for loans
from farmers at this season of the
yvear when cotton chopping is in prog
ress, but such is not the case this sea
son. The prosperous condition of the
farmers is attributed to the great im
petus given live stock raising by the
establishment of a packing house here.
“A farmer can bring in three or four
hogs and sell them and get enough
money to have his cotton chopped,”
one banker declared. *“And they near
ly all have the hogs to sell. There
was a time not so long ago when a
hog wasn't worth anything in Moul
trie during the summer time, but now
they bring the Chicago price on the
local market,” he added.

posing of some of the whiskey after

restraining order to prevent them
from doing to.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 21, 1916
1S END OF GREAT
EUROPEAN WAR NEAR?
Washington, May 18.—Close observ
ers of European conditions due to the
war profess to see a prospect of peace
in the latest German note to the United
States on the submarine issue.
In its reply the German government
aid: “The German government, coa
cious of Germany's strength, twice
within the last few months anounced
before the world its readiness to make
peace on a basis of safeguarding
Germany's vital interest, thus indicat
ing it is not Germany's fault if peace
is still withkeld from the nations of
Europe.”
Information received from Ameri
cans in Berlin is to the effect that
Germans generally are talking peace
and hoping for it. The press in Hol
land believes that the German govern
ment is anxious that peace be re
stored. “There is a belief,” says one
of these news dispatches, ‘“that be
hind the whole cloud of vague and
conditional promises lies the hope
that negotiations for -peace will be
opened with England through the
mediation of the United States. Ac
cording to this view Germany hopes
that Washington will open a discus
sion first on the question of contra
band and naval blockade, which will
widen by easy stages to eventual dis
cussion of possible peace conditions.

curred.
The saw struck the young man in
the right shoulder and ranged through
