1 OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CRISP COUNTY.
[ "'RECORDS OF TWO MEN. -
;!The Third Wcongressional district has
(~&To men asking to be honored with
flj& vote of the people for the place
nfiw held by (‘ongressmanl(‘harles R.
(ffflsp. Both these men have held pub:
lfc office long enough for the people
to know fairly wefl which is the bet
tér fitted for the place.
‘lt is usually the better part to argue
the winning characteristics of the can
dfidate one is supporting, but the
records of Tom Hudson and Charles
R, Crisp are so widely at variance
flxat it will take but a word to reveal
the difference in the two men.
In congress Crisp worked like a vet
eran for the federal reserve banking
gystem, the rural crdits law, the bu
, rop%q of markets and the revision of
the parcels post law so as to enable
| lhe mails to carry larger packages, the
gaod roads legislation whereby Geor
glé kels two million dollars to be ex
“'pénded on her roads, federal licensed
warehouse, the creation of the de
ifiafimernt of lahor.
" An investigation will show that
Ci'lsp was at all times in accord witl
thé most important democratic legis:
lative work and was there, up anc
dqln: for the good of the people. He
ha@ a record :is _copgress of which th¢
people of the Tf)fi'd are proud and hc
is going to retain their confidencs
..as,:their representative principally be
“cause he deserves it. :
Tom Hudson has a right to asl: foi
this office. Any qualified citizen has
that right, and the simple fact tha’
Hudson has asked for the office is not
sufficient cause for howli nghim down.
But,t,!ge':g.-,i%.,.a raeson why he should
no&‘go::to vopngress. He has been a
puplic}ӎflicfii {or the people of Geor
gia and has shown himself woefully
lacking in the very qualifications mosi |
important. : ' |
In }_!}Mfl&g}nmissioner of ‘agricul
ture fifidsohuhad on the payroft=of his
office 109 fertilizer inspectors in Geor
gia. In 1911 he had 118 of these in
spectors drawing a salary of $83.3:
per month. That same year Hudson'’:
office went under fire and the Ault
committee composed of eight statc
senators and representatives recom
'meufled that the appointive power o
the' iémnlissioner be limited so that
he could employ only forty inspectors
This committee found twelve of Hud
son's. fertilizer inspectors in 1910 dic
not submit a single sample and five
in the:‘lppring of 1911 did not submi
any éam!)les for analysis. There werc
others who submitted very few sam
ple&, ye&'all of them were paid l‘ll(‘il
tult'salaties out of the tax payers mon
ey,
As a fepresentative of the people in
thé’ stath senate Hudson opposed the
election of county school commission:
ers by the people. He opposed elect
ing railroad commissioners by the peo
ple. He opposed the taxing of rail
road franchises. He fought the legis
lation preventing railroad free passes.
With his 118 fertilizer inspectors he
permitted 19 per cent of the fertilizers
sold the farmers in 1911 to go out far
below the standard required by law.
These are notes made from the pub
lic ,fééérds of thé two men who are
now asking to be sent to congress. The
comparison might be extended fur
ther with the same results. They re
veal a splendid insight into the char
acter of Hudson and Crisp as repre
sentatives of the people. The records
are plain and any voter can have them
for the asking.
The ‘people of the third congression
al district will not want to drop a good
representative for one who certainly
in the past has not done so well. Crisp
has by his work as an honest, conscien
tious representative deserved the con
fidlence which has been placed in him
by the people of this district.
It would “Be a .blunder regrettable
in the extreme to put Tem Hudson
in his place and try to imagine we had
such a representative as is now serv
ing the people of this district.
-~ PEOPLE CONDEMN IT,
If one is left to judgé by newspaper
criticism, the Veasy bill which sets a
state ingpection over all Catholic
schools, is going to be put into our
Jaw bobks without having the slightes:
popular support. Thinking people
know this is a serious mistake.
Nobody has undertaken to defend
the Catholics. They should do‘that
and they ought to begin at once a
campaign of education which will help
relieve their ceremonials in church
services of the great amount of criti
cism which is heing heaped upon them
by sensationg]l speakers and lectur
ers who have found they can get a
hearing by making such charges.
If the Catholics are half as guilty
as Veasy and his friends and Watson
and his friends assert, Georgia should
exclude them. Most of us have Cath
olic friends that we believe are gooc
veople. In their’ ranks are “black
sheep” as in the ranks of other church
memberships, but that is nothing un
usual. .
Here is a sort of characteristic
which is being developed by anti-cath
olic speakers in Georgia, as expressed
by the Moultrie Observer:
“It has been demonstrated‘ that
here in Moultrie, you can get out
a larger congreéatioll to hear an
anti-Catholic Jecture than you can
to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ
preached by home ministers. It
indicates a deeper interest in re
sisting the other fellow’s religion
than there is in building up our
own religion.” P
And many others hold the same
views. Are we wrong when we talkc
these to he expressions of the aver
age man of average mind? Is it pos
sible that what the newspapers thinl
of a proposition of this character can
‘amounl to nothing? The Veasy law
passed the senate and is now up tc
the governor for hig signature. How
will he view it? o,
Mot A v ‘i e — I
Redd what two otlier Georgia news
papers think of the Georgia legisla
ture:
Georgia oughi, to buy a big lot
of advertising space in the news
pers and magazines of the country
just to let the world know that
she isn't the kind of state her leg
islature says she is.—Augusta
Chronicle,
There is something in that to
think about. It the legislature of
of the future is to be like the
present one, it will take a heap of
publicity to comba\ its evil effects
abroad. That Veasy bill for in
stance belongs to the fifteenth cen
tury. KEvery member who voted
for it ought to be ashamed of him
self.—North Georgia (itizen.
WORKING FOR IT.
From many sources have come bus
iness hints during the summer that
the aproaching fall will afford splen
did opportunity for a’ large volume
of business. Big enterprise, manufac
‘lm‘er. merchant and banker, have
‘planncd for a great inerease in busi
ness. It is coming. It is coming so
fast that it will require a very stupid
business to miss it.
But the argument is intended for
the man who has an idea that all he
is going to get will come any how,—
no need worry about piling up more
that “aint.” He is going to be the man
to suffer most from his lethargy and
business indifference. He may exist.
may pull through many years, but he'll
never enjoy it. That's the man who
needs to be armed closely by some
friend that is willing to suggest mildly
ow important it is to be up and doing.
The business man who goes to his
place, opens up, sweeps out, and sits
‘here the remainder of the day isn't
far ahead of the sheriff. The very day's
conduct is built to invite bankruptcy.
He may tell you other people do not
know how to run his business, but oth
or people might tell him that he ought
to go out after business and work for
it.
Cordele is losing daily thousands
and thousands of dollars in good bus
iness to otseo centers ot tse dividing
Fm 1t 1s ‘bing because men from
'thsB6 ‘othdr denters are out and after
L‘th_e bu'slne‘ss. offering inducement to
;.Lhe buyer. They grow at our expense
‘because they work for it. A man with
an eye'on the business community
‘can see this and know it to be true.
People do not stop for sentimer'x't. They
do not take a great deal of stock in
buying at home just for the sake of
doing that. You must have an induce
ment, a better business proposition
than the other man. There ought to
be some business get-up-and-get behind
fhe local enterprise that courts suc
cess. Then if you want'to win, you are
likely hard for the other man té drive
out.
The coming fall business is going
to be great in volume. It'is going to
be mucli more desirable business, for
there will be many many people who
will proceed on the pas-as-you-go plan.
flor the' banker, it is time to heave
with full forc. For the merchant,
there is a wide territorj/ yvet ours, but
not enjoyed because we have not ful
iy resolved to have it. For every bus
iness, no matter how small, there is
a great bhig opportunity to increase
income. .
It is no time to sit in the door way
and wait for it. Business no longer
hunts your establishment in that way.
If a customer should start your way,
while you sit and wait for him, some
body else in your rival city will find
out what he wants and sell it to him
before he reaches you establishment.
Let us be out working for it. That's
the one sure and satisfactory way. .
DOWN IN ALABAMA.
It is constantly asserted that the
banks in the weevil infested districts
of Albama show more deposits and
better business than. when there was!
no pest destroying the cotton. If this
is true, it is an evidence that those‘
who have turned to something else ini
agricultural lines have found more
profit in the new crops than there was.l
in cotton at its best. I
It has been hard to show the farmer
that his cotton crop cost more to pro
duce than any other crop. The dif
ficulty with him is the ‘passing from
what has been considered the money
end of the crop, and he feels some
how, when he abandons this that he
is going to be used goughly when he
needs the cash.
Few‘farmers who farm in the old
way ever see money in other crops.
It is hard to show them. They want
to plant cotton becaase that was the
custom with their forefathers. Neces
sity sometimes is a hard master, but
under the stress of circumstances we
sometimes surprise our own selves at
the success which attends our efforts.
When the Alabama farmer had his
money crop snatched from his hand,
he was simply lost. That story will
be repeated in Georgia. Some of us
will try to raise cotton after the
thing becomes impossible and failure
will stare somebody squarely in the
face. High priced cotton will be thb.
lure until it is really founfi that cot
ton must be (lmm‘)ed off the list for
good and all time.
There are so many other ways of
making the farm pay, that the Ala
bama farmers are heginning to busy
themselves. Those who took the wee
| vil at what he appears to be and plant
‘ml other crops, are now in good con
‘dition and have money ahead that
was made with other crops.
And now the price of the fliver is
lower! This will in the end solve the
auto craze. It is cheaper than the
horse and buggy and offers almost the
same comforts that one gets in the
costly car. ‘
If the paor newspapers of the coun
try are as far from a solution of the
high price of paper as the mills are
from making paper from cotton stalks,
we have a few reasons to Worry.
There are not enough cotton stalks in
the entire cotton belt in a seasonf to
run ten paper mills of the couhtry a
month. Ist’'s .that right? Cotton
stalks make good paper, but getting
the stalks. Farmers in the weevil-in
fested districts might be interestet.
They have only the stalks on which
to realize sometln'.ng when the weevil
is done. 3 3

&gl permission to construct a bridge
at"Hugienin’s ferry has been granted'
through act of congress. The way ie
clear for a bridge. Now the project
needs some dozen or more busisess
men of Cordele and Crisp county to
get together and finance it so that
the bridge can be built without delay.
There are more ways of gdoing it than
digging down into the pocket of some
of us who might as yet not be quite
able to afford the money. There is
room for study and good planning, for
the bridge is a necessity. . :
No one could estimate the advédntage
to both Cordele and Americus which!
might come cf making a way over‘
Flint river at this point. Traffic alli
along this river needs it, to say nothing
of Crisp and Sumter. Cordele and Amer}
cus are badly in need of it. We near
of difficulties epcountered every week
or so among those who have to travel‘
tiis route. It is much avoided be
ceuse of the risk and expense. ‘
The right thing is for the commis-i
sioners of Crisp and Sumter to joini
in the construction of a bridge helfe.‘
Sumter county needs it world without!
end. Americus needs it as badly
as Cordele and both cqunties ought}
to be spanked for not }iaving built this:
bridge long ago. |
To quibble over the trade advanta-‘
ges is but to lose time on the smallest
issue involved. Cordele ought to have
to lose everything that Americus can
beat us to, and on the other hand
Americus ought not to complain at a
clean up if Cordele can put it over.‘
It is the bridge that both sides need.
and they need it at Huguenin's. The
right thing is to build it and share the

Nothing is more discouraging than a
constant backache, . Lame when *you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It’s hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
Kidneys. - Cordele people recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Read this case:
R. B. Gary, Jr., Fourth Ave., and
Seventh St., Cordele, says: “I had a
dull pain in my back and nearly all
the time if I bent over, the pain got
worse. One of my neighbors told me
about Doan’s Kidney Pills andy after
taking them, I was greatly. relieved.”
Price 50¢, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s

CORDELE ASTONISHED
BY SIMPLE MIXTURE
Cordele people aré astonished at the
INSTANT action of ‘simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad
ler-I’ka. ONE SPOONFUL removes
such surprising foul matter it relieves
almost ANY CASE constipation, sour
stomach or gas. Because Adler-i-ka
acts on BOTH lower and upper bowel,
a few doses often relieves or pervent

chronic stomach trouble. A. M. Stead.
