SOUTHERN STATES REPRESENTA
TIVES WILL'MEET AT! NASH
VILLE TO JOIN'IN EFFORT TO
BRING BIG PLANT TO ALABAMA.
Hon. W. H. Dorris has received a let
ter from W, R. ‘Manier; secretary: of
the commereial elub® of = Nashville,
.. Tenn., requesting the presence of him
-Belf and others from Cordele to attend
a convention of representatives from
all southern' and ''middle - western
States at Nashvillg, (July 14, for the
purpose -of comnsidering * ways and
means to have the government nitrate
plant, recently authorized by congress,
located at Mussel Shoals, Alabama.
On June 9 a conference of represen
tatives of the commercial organization
of Nashville, Birmingham, Chatta
nooga and Memphis was held at Nash
ville for the purpose of promoting
plans to have the plant located at Mus
sel Shoaly and-a resolution was en
dorsed by this meeting, calling repre
sentatives from all of the states that
could be affected or interested in the |
plant.
Twenty million dollars will be ex
pended in the establishment of the
plant, and ‘many“million dolars will be
spent annually in‘ operation. It is
pointed out, according to, the claims
of the commercial bodies . taking the
initiative in the project, that there is
not a state in the south and middle
west that will. not receive a greater
benefit from this plant if located on
the Tennessee river than they would
receive if located at any other point
in the United States.
The advantages of such a plant will
be the reduction in price of commer
cial fertilizers, an improved market
for the products of the soil of the south
and middle west and output of the
mines, and the keeping at home of the
millions paid:.out each. year to for
eign trade, to say nothing of the ben
efits of the millions of dollars invested
in the south .

Albany W ater and Light Profits
Mayor Tift of Albany in a letter to
Mayor Jones has given figures for the
earnings of the Albany water and
light, plants in the year 1914 which
show that that maunicipality enjoyed
the vse of over $30,000 in clear profits
irom the two public utilities. This
was over and above the free lights and
water used by the city in the streets
and the public buildings and in the
county public buildings. This was
over and above the maintenance ex
penscs, upkeep and interest on publici
public 'debt. ‘The testimony given is
that the Albany plants have always!
paid well. :
. Following is the letier: :
““Albany, May 11, 1916.
“Mr.. J.. Gordon Jones, Mayor, !
“Cordele ,Ga.
“Dear Sir: Replying to yours of
the 9th inst, relative to the muni
cipal ownership of light and water
plants; will say that the city of Al- '
bany has owned and operated its !
own water and lignt plants for
over twenty year-« and it has als
ways paid well. In the year 1914
the water department turned in
to the city treasury $9,949.46, and
the lights $21,531.,,. This is af
ter paying dll expenses for main
tenance, salaries, etc. In other
words, this is a net profit. It is
next to impossible for me to give’
you an intelligent ecord of what
it cost the city for —water and
lights prior to the time the city
took charge of these two plants.
Besides paying all expenses, of
maintenance, salaries, interest on
bonds, etc., thes& piants furnish
light and water for streets and all
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TAKEI
. STEPS TO “CLEAN UP” WITH
THOSE IN CRISP WHO ARE DE
LINQUENT.
Automobile owners who have not
registered their cars in the qfiice of
Secretary of State Cook and paid the
special automobile license tax for the
year 1916, may find it to their best
interest to do so at once. A thorough
investigation is being instituted by
the proper authorities to determine the
owners of approximately 220 automo
biles that have not been registered
with the state secretary and on which
the tax has not been paid for the year,
and criminal proceedings will be insti
tuted against all failing to comply with
this law.
Until at least ninety per cent of the
automobiles of Crisp have been prop
erly registered, the county will be de
prived of its prorata snare of the state
automobile fund. Such is the infor
‘mation brought to thc attention of the
county commissioners of Crisp in a
letter from Secretary Cook. The law
‘makes it the duty of the county com
missioners to swear out warrants andl
prosecute those who fail or refuse to|
comply with the law, and an official no
tice, warning the delinquents of the
consequences, is published in today’s
Dispatch over the signature of Chair
man 8. C. Byrd of the board of com
missionérs.
Information in the hands of the com
missioners shows that there are ap
proximately five hundred automobile
owners in Crisp county this year, and
that up to May 1 only two hundred
and eighty-eight automobiles had been
registered with the state secretary
from this county.

quarters of the world’s supply of olive

There is a city thx. runs its govern

by, who lived with ner husband and
several children on rae farm of W. J.
Musselwhite, ten miles east of Cor
dele, was discovered in bed this morn
ing about 1 o’clock. The death was

five-month old baby, arose and went

CHAIRMAN OF CRISP COUNTY
.COMMISSIONERS GOT 121-2
CENTS PER POUND FOR 47
BALES OF COTTON.
Twenty-eight hundred dollars, or
twelve and one-half cents per pound
all around, was the sum that S. C.
Byrd, one of Crisp’s most progressive
farmers and chairmai: of the board of
county commissioners, realized Tues
day from the sale of forty-seven bales
of cotton of last year’'s crop. The cot
ton was purchased by W. B. Shipp and
i(!ompany, and Mr. Byrd has the pro
ceeds from the sale to his credit in
one of the Cordele banks.
~ Mr. Byrd is not one of those who
‘hecame disgruntled and lost heart be
cause the ‘Buropean war started last
year and the price of cotton dropped
to a low ebb as a consequence. He
simply determined tv rmake the best
of it, and being a progressive farmer,
he shaped his financial affairs to good
advantage, stretched matters a lit
tle, sold a hale of cotton now and then
as the cccasion demanded and held a
good portion of the crop for better
prices. He realized that conditions
would become normal in a few months
and that better prices for the staple
would be the result. fe has profited
well by his foresight.
The price. of cotton during the ap
proaching fall will be good, not as
gond perhaps as the farmers would
like it, but excellent, as compared with
the prices of last year.
GRADY COTTON CROP
HURT LITTLE BY WEEVIL
Thomasville, June 25.—1 n an exami
nation made several days ago of a
few of the largest coton fields of Grady
county, J. D. Smith, of the state board
of entomology, reported that no boll
weevil were found, and the opinion
was expresed that the cotton crop of
Grady would not be materially injured
this season by the weevil. Smith ad
vised all of the farmers to keep a close
watch on their fields, however, and if
the weevil does begin his work to
carefully destroy all punctured squares
and bolls to prevent a spread of the
pest. :

CRISP REPRESENTATIVE GOES TO
ATLANTA PREPARED TO URgE
COMPULSORY EDUCATION FOR
STATE.
Hon. W. H. Dorris, representative of
Crisp county in the legislature, left
aionday night for Atlanta to take his
seat in that body upon its convening
in annual session today. So far as
the Crisp legislator is concerned, it
is to be a busy season, for he has
much to do.
Of chief importance among the bills
which Representative Dorris will fos
rer is that to make attendanee’ upan
ihe public schools of the state .com
sulsory. He has been working ear
nestly on this bill for several months,
and after a thorough study of such
laws in other states and educational
conditions in Georgia, he has fully out
lined his plans, and is prepared to in
iroduce the bill among the first to
come up for consideration in the as
sembly. ¢
He will take an active part in the
deliberations over the bill for the cre
ation of the proposed new Forthy-fifth
and TForty-sixth senatorial districts.
The nearness of Crisp to the proposed
new counties of Lamar and Peach will
also probably cause him to become in
terested in this agitation. 4
While there are numerous details
to Mr. Dorris’ bill for compulsory ed
ucation in Georgia, the most salient
features involved are these: !
Parents, guardians or other persons
in charge of any child over 8 and under
14 years f age are required to send
the child to school for 16 weeks in
each year, beginning the first week of
the term, unless the child is being
taught at home by a competent teach
er, or it attending a private school
where the same courses are taught
as are taught in the public schaols.
The county superintendent or board
of education of any local system can
excuse a child fron: attending school
whose mental or physical condition
is such as renders attendance imprac
ticable. A child living over two and
one-half miles from a school may be
excused from attending, and any child
under 14 years of age, having complet
ed the fifth grade, may be excused.
MAYOR JONES HEARD
FOUR BLIND TIGER CASES
There were four defendants hauled
into Mayor's court Monday charged
with violating the city blind tiger or
dinance, three men and one woman.
Mayor Jones, sentenced the woman to
three months on the city chain gang,
not allowing the payment of any. fine.
The three men were hound over to
the Superior ocurt under bonds of two
hundred dollars each, and by orders
of the Mayor they were immediately
delivered over to Sheriff Ward as state
prisoners. Attorneys representing the
defendants will make a test case of
the inforcement of the city blind tiger
ordinance, on the ground that it is
in conflict with the state prohibition
law.
IMMENSE CROWDS SEE
_“BATTLE CRY OF PEACE”
“The Battle Cry of PPeace” was wit
nessed by large crowds Tuursday and
I'riday nights of the past week at the
Palace Theatre. Scores came from
surrounding towns and cities and all
who witnessed the mammoth meotion
picture spectacle were profoundly in
terested. Manager Cain of the theatre
is being highly complimented for se
curing the picture.
Many of the spectators declared the
picture to be fully as interesting as
“The Birth of a Nation,” while its val
ue and influence to the cause of pre
paredness against armed invasion is
decidedly pronounced. The evidently
impending war between the United
States and Mexjco will give impetus to
the popularity of “The Battle Cry of
Peace” that is compelled to be at
tracted to it in any community.
