JAMES WHITCOME RILEY.
The average person admires the
poem that strikes a chord vibrant with
the loves,‘?ympalllics and struggles
of the common people. Jumes Whit
comb Riley, the Hoosier poet who died
Saturday night at his home in Indian
apolis, wrote with that enthusiasm
that has kindled the spiritual fircs in
the hearts of the lowly. [lis message
finds its marks around the hearthstone
of the hut, for his thoughts ore the
thoughts of the lowly couched in’ the
language of the horny-handed workling
man. And in the hearts of the little
children his poetic tohught will lin
. ger tenderly with the passing ol time.
" We would like to term him truly
great, not hecause we want to place
a flower on his grave, but because he
'tbund the beautiful in everyday life
and turned it to poetic art. Contrast
him with classical Browning and let
us take a moment to tell you that
’flhe critics are working away on
Hicult passages of the great lKn
poet, the simple, sweet influen
f Riley will be evinced in the mu
of the world’s millions of common
ple. The man who can write the
~ old every-day world into the songs
"ihe human race as Riley has help
~ to do is not going to be easily for
.:. temn. ; For the same reason that
-ert Burns will stay with us, so
'm’l Riley.
NEW INDUSTRIAL DOCTRINE.
I'rom other far sections of the coun
try come constant references to the
widely increasing industrial develop
ment. There is unprescedented indus
trial expansion and growth throughoui
the country. People everywhere ‘n
beginning to take nore of the wonder
ful activity. A long dormant husiness
has been resurrected in spite ol the
depressions coming out of Kurope and
factories and mills arc full of orders
The stari indicates that the moncy
which has been hidden away until the
excitement has passed is now coming
out seeking new amvestment. Thel
country is full of capital sccking ||!;|('l'l‘

0N
is everywhere apparent that the sup

: actories, more goods, is the great ory
~#he demand can only be met with the
increased number of faciories and
mills and these mills and factoric:
must {ind convenient location.
Now is our greatest opportunity. The
cotton mills must be brought nearer to
the cotton ficlds and while they ard

and put m;\vm‘l\‘ whiie the north and |

for the manutfactured goods because |
of the increased demands, local cap

spindles at the gates of the cotigh

soon the need of the new industry
will be so apparent that local capital
will be moving in that direction. We
can offer no hetter inducement to out
siders than to have faith in our own
buginess, :
A LIVE STOCK SHOW.
That was not a bad idea that came
of a little colt show in town little over
a week ago when a number of sub
stantial stock men came in with the
horse and mule “crop” and suggested
a live stock show for the fall. There
were a number of farmers who ex
pressed strong interest and it is fair-
Iy certain that the show could be made
a fine occasion for the farmer and live
stocic man.
Such a show always works wonders
in the spread of practical knowledge
for those who attend and take inter
est. It is a school within itself. Those
who talked of the proposed show prop
erly felt that the occasion should not
be directed to making a great display
o!f our fine stock so much as to secur
ing a general interest in stock raising
by making the fall show a kind of
chatauqua where much can be learncd
about raising cattle, horses and hogs
for profit. Such an opportunity would
be gladly welcomed by the farmers
and stock raisers.
If the farmers can have a week for
a live stock show with a program of
helpful work of a most practical Kind,
they will be able to get something
irom the show that will mean advance
ment in stock raising in the county
f a most substantial characier. Just
v little advance pregaration and a
arefully planned program will make
il occasion worth much in the way
i added wealth in stock raising.
The live stock show is one of the
airest means of creating interest in
stock raising. That such a show will
hHoe timely, is a matter already decided
hy local stock raisers and they want
o try it out in the fall.. Cordele could
rive Crisp county farmers the show
of their lives just as an opener for the
rade season and it they had half a
‘hance they would be ready. .
Somebedy might do a very timely
wet by going in for the show. The
farm dairy, beef cattle, raising hog:
‘or prolit, crops feor the stock raiser
md a thousand other practical things
mught occupy the minds of the stock
farmers at a show of real value. The
county negeds it. The stock farmers
will do their part towards making il!
L great success and the business men |
of Cordele will help to provide an oc
casion worth mueh,
FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA.
Along the line of successtful hog rais
ing the Moultrie Chamber of Com
werce has turnished inoculation outfits
free to every district in Colquit coun
ty and issues the tollowing bulletin:
“The very greatest drawback to the
successful raising of hogs is the mu(‘h‘
dreaded and very distructive cholera |
The breeders need to realize tirst uli
all that the most searching scientilc
mvestigation has failed to find any
real cure with the germs. Thereforc
the only safe thing to do, is to onocu
late the hogs with an anti-toxin serum,
which will prevent the disease. The
Federal and State Departments prac
tice and recommend this, but the
breeders are too loth to spend a little
uloney for this protection and so often
wait until the hogs are actually dying
before they do anything and then what
they do is unsatisfactory, because so
many of {he infected hogs die after
{reatment.
| When the Moultrie Packing com
pany was organized the promaoters
realized that the success of their en
terprise would depend largely upon
the control of this disease. Not con
nected with the packing plant but coin
cident with it, Dr. H. . Rothe, recog
nized throughout the state as a '\'cr_v
eminent bacteriologist, having organiz
ed and operated the first plant for the
manufacture of hog cholera s;erum in
the south, in connection with the state
college of agriculture at Athens, and
having taught in that institution for
four years, was induced to come to
Moultrie and having associated Mr. J.
B. Carlton with himself, they estab
lished the Georgia Serum Laboratory
at Moultrie, Ga.
They oifered their first product to
the public on March Ist, 1916, since
which time they have enlarged their
plant and increased their output, until
they can now supply practically all de
man-le, Parties who have used this
product pronounce it first-clags in eve
ery respect and the public will be glad
fo know that fresh serum can bhe se
cured on short notice, from “headqguar
ters vor hogs in the south,” without
having to wait for deliveries from the
slale college or from the northwest.
The arnual loss to farmers from
cholera is enormous. A little money
spent for this preventive treatment
vvould save this waste. The Federal
and state agents now scattered over
the state are prepared to administer
this treatment and their services are
free, the only charge being the cost of
the serum.
The necessary outfit and a little ex
perience would enable every farmer to
treat his own hogs at his convenience.
RETAINED OUR GOOD NAME.
Fitzgerald and two or three of the
other towns interested offer copgrat
nlations to the man who managed the
iinancial end of the baseball for Cor
dele during the down-hill tumble this
season. Instead of abuse they have
had nothing but nice things to say
about the ginger and all around stick
(0 it that was manifested by those
who managed the Cordele club.
It takes a winning team to carry
ihe support of the fans. Cordele had
lic best team it has ever sent out.
Most of the time it played well and
he thing that can never i)(z explained
s how it lost always by so narrow a
nargin. The steady headway it made
towards the cellar was a thing no man
wement couid ever overcome. :
It was rather hard that quitting
ime came when we were so near the
nd” of the season. Continual rain,
1 low percentage, and consequent poor
wtendance was already cutting furi
susly at the funds with which the clul
jad to run and the management deem
«l it better to quit when the obliga
tions could be met. Those who lova
he sport quit the game with a good
name and after all, that is worth
something.
THIS MIGHT HELP SOME.
There are some several million bar
cels of town boosters in a good drum
:orps or a live band. The city of Ma
:on has a drum and bugle corps that
has doie more “blowing” for that
city of late than all other things com
bined. Kven Atlanta admires this
bhoosting aggregation and all the Uni
ted States has heard of it, for it is a
crack-a-)ack organization.
And yet, there isn't a thing about
it that could not be furnished by such
a community as Cordele. It is made
up mostly ot leather-lunged young
sters that just naturally like to blow
and march and wear a pretty uniform.
There is never a call they do not an
swer and the full muster is there when
needed.
No one can deny that Cordele has
the lusty, leather-lunged youngsters
who like to blow and march and wear
pretty unitorms. There are enough of
them to make a drum and bugle corps
that would {ix our name forever among
the live ones. They can equip at a
qamall cost and they have enough mus
ical talent at home to turn the trick
so far as training goes.
This is the shortest way to a very
effective boosting agency, one that
would bring home astounding credit
for the business community and one
that would put new marrow in the
bones and a new lubricant in the
ioints of the lagging cold business man
who has been a bit run down at the
heel and ready for the land of Don't
Care. :
A drum and bugle corps is an easy
organization to form and maintain and
thiere are so many occasions where it
is needed. There have been two in
the present month where it could have
been made to shine in great splepdor.
Nobody here knows half the value of
such a musical aggregation until lher.e
is one*upon which the city can call on
public occasions. No need of anything

but a rather live group of youngsters
with a leader. They can be ready for
big things in a very short time.
From the state department of agri
culture comes a very gloomy letter
this week regarding the damage which
has been done Georgia crops by the
recent rains. Commissioner Price
should cheer up. Some of the bad
weather hit in and around Ashville and
tore up a few towns in the Tar Heel
state. Not even the river bottom crops
in Georgia are a total loss.
When we cut our credit and com
mercial fertilizers our farmers will
have improved their Mndition one

erly handled will eliminate both of
them.—Moultrie Observer.
