OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER.
If we love our neighbor, shall we
pass him by and let delusions cause
suffering and sorrow? It may be that
we can do nothing else, but it is om
duty to help him and out of our appre
ciation of him mistakes should be
handled for his good. To persecute
to present to the courts and ask for
punishment, to injure with abuse the
victimes of calamitous error is no’
the Christian way.
Christian Science has cost the life
of many a persons whose welfare was
reposed in the supposed powers of this
faith. Those who promulgated its
edicts say that it is not understooc
when some one succumbs, but its prin
ciples are contrary to nature’s call
The poison in the human system can
not be counterbalanced by the com
munion of millions of Christian Scien
tists. God never created things ‘ip
such order. It only requires a look-ir
on the simplest of the simple laws of
nature to know this. And this is say
ing nothing of the power of prayer
when all is done that the ministration:
of humankind can do with the skill o
medicine and science.
Pity certainly mu%w fnave seizec
many a heart in the community wher
it became generally known that deatl
had taken a little boy whose life wen
slowly to the effects of burning fever
Nobody could presume with accuracy
that medical aid would have restorec
health, but the awful thing to compre
hend is how any sort of religion cai
bring such a wide separation from the
otherwise most natural way of dispo’
ing of such an illness.
Parents are intensely human. They
love their children and would do any
thing loving tender care could pro
vide. They would remain by their lit
tle one's bedside to the last minute
and work all the day long to alleviate
pain. In this case they loved thei
little boy. That was the most natura
thing. It is an old, old way of all the
world, wherever human drama is stag
ed, whether it be in hut or hovel o 1
mansion, or under the skies of the low
ly barbarian or the most highly civi
lized people.
Here is the sad spectacle of a reli
gious upsetting and undoing an endow
ment nature fixed in the earliest o
all time. Molech of the days of the
children of Ammon, of Ancient Car
Ammon, of the days of Ancient Car
thage, was never a more terrible idol
How could the person of ordinar
mind be brought to the belief that an
other ordinary human deing in Jack
sonville or in Fitzgerald, or in Col
dele, as for that matter, by willing it
by even praying for it, expect to re
store health when God has so orderec
in the creation of things that we shal
do all in our power first to administe
physical remedies? v
ABOUT GOOD HEALTH.
In our burry we seldom give the
proper thought to what good healtl
means. It is becoming more and mor:
a habit to push on to work that mus
be accomplished regardless of hou
or tired, unstrung nerves. Long hour
of hard work, the kind that carrie
with it little physical exercise, takin:
meals off hours with little though
about the properly regulated debt wil
destroy the human being surely an¢
quickly.
There are among us both men anm
women toilers who give too man
hours of their lives to the confinin:
daily routine. Those who are destroy
ing themselves in that way ought t
remember that in the long run it cut:
off many years of one’s allotted time
But there are others who work nons
too much, and eat, eat all the time
Whoever follows such a daily sched
ule is inviting death. Every year on
works too little and eats too muc!
he shortens his natural life by doubl
the time. If he follows this ten years
he has cut his promx'sed vears fully ¢
score.
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
a species of enormous shark whicl
finally became extinct by reason o
the workings of its voracious appe
tite. ‘Thus nature eliminates the
over-fed.
The desire for ease of life and plen
tiful diet is universal and is the grea
stimulus of man and animal alike
‘When man becomes greedy and take:
more ease and food and drink thar
is his share, nature discards him.
In the race for power and place, for
ease of circumstances and relief from
‘he stimulus of hunger, the modern
man is apt to forget that unless he
g careful of his body he will soon
be made to suffer for the infraction
»f Nature's inexorable physical law.
With the loss in body tone comes an
aqual loss in mental activity and the
hrain which for a time was able to
sperate despite the complaints of an
yver-fed, under-exercised, self-poison
ad body, stops working.
Statisticians have discovered that
he mortality rate of persons in the
{nited States over 45 years of age
s increasing. The strenuous life of
oday is not alone responsible for this.
ack of health-giving exercise, super-
Juity of diet, lack of restoring sleep.
wer-stimulation, the high pressure of
he race for power, wealth and po
sition, plus physical neglect,—these
yring early decay. The goal is reach:
«d,—wealth is amassed,—honor, posi
jon and power are just being grasped
vhen the apple of accomplishment
urns to the ashes of dissolution. The
yrilliant mind becomes clouded, the
iteady hand is no longer accurate

m the whole world is dimmed anc
t is not long before the final break
ip occurs. All of this was entirely
yreventable.
Other things being equal it is the
nan who leads the well-balanced life

he end is uniformly the best, he whe
qeither over-works nor over-plays,
\either over-eats, over-drinks, nor

ird of simple healthy diet in modera
jon, who offsets mental work with
liysical recreation, who is as honest
vith his own body as he is with his
ywn business. When success comes
o such an one his physical and men
al condition is such that he can en

f body the fruits of his labors.
THE GAME LAWS.
The season is fast approaching for
\unting and those who enjoy the sporl
re more than anxious that the time
01l around. Crisp county pos;sjhly
a 8 as many men who enjoy hunting
s any other county in the state, buf
t also has a large number of citizeny
vho would prefer the game laws be
espected and abidee. Those whoe
nost enjoy hunting in season also de
ight to know that everybody is wil
ing to wait till the proper time comes
Under the law it is not time to shoot
quirrels till October 1. It is the gen
ral report that numbers of hunters
wre already occasionally in the woods
wow shooting them. This isn't fai
o the rest of the sportsmen and not
lie proper manner in which to treaf
he game.
If we would have plenty of game tc
wrovide good bagging for the sports
nen, we must observe the law. The
aw is so regulated as to protect the
ame till the proper time if it is ob
erved. It is a mistak to presume that
' makes no difference. It does make
. vast difference and those who most
mnjoy hunting should be careful that
he law is strictly enforced ftor their
wn benefit. A careless regard for
he season and wholesale slaughter
ut of season soon ruins the game
upply and there is nothing left for
e huntsman.
This should not be the case. The
rotection of game and the enforce
nent of the law in this county is ir
he hands of a local citizen who prom
ses to keep close after offenders.
varden Arnett is already out working
nd wished it announced that those
vho care nothing for the provision:
£ the law will get into trouble. Therc
hould not be prosecutions for vio
ations of the game laws for the hunts
en should have too strong desire to
jave the game preserved out of sea
on and they should render assistance
ather than help destroy.
OPPOSES RECORDFKR.
Kditor l)ispatvh:‘wl appreciate youl
arrying in Sunday’s Dispatch my mes
age to City Councit in which 1 set
orth my objections te the reasons for
ot approving the ordinance passed
y Council last Wednesday evening
reating a Recorder’s Court, and, pro
iding for the election of a city Re
order and fixing a salary for such
lecorder.
Under the charter of the city each
f the six aldermen are eligible. as
vell as the Mayor, to hold Mayor's
r Recorder's court, thereby giving
o the city seven officers, who are
harged with the duty of attending to
he business coming before the May
r's court. As it is now provided the
ity has seven Recorvers authorized te
¢t and to hold Mayor's court.
We are now meeting a pay roll ev
ry month of $1562.50 or an annual
ay roll of $18,750.00, this includes
ix aldermen who are paid $1.200 an
wally and the Mayor $6OO annually.
n fact the city is payving six alder
ren and a Mayor $l,BOO annually. and
ach of them by virtue of their office
an hold Mayor’s or Recorder’'s court.
t only requires from ten 1o thirty
rinutes each week for the Mayor or
ny one of the aldermen to dispose of
he business coming wm for disposition
efore the cohrt.
1 do not think it right to fasten up-
on the already over burdened tax pay
ars another paid officer, and thereby
ncrease the pay roll and pile up the
a3xpense of the city for a man to act
18 Recorder and to give to the office
‘rom ten to thirty minutes service
mce a week. The Mayor should at
tend to this work for the city, and in
czase he is absent or otherwise dis
qualified, we then have six aldermen
who can attend to the business. In
my opinion the office of Recorder for
Cordele would be nothing more or
legs than a job for some one to do
what the Mayor and Aldermen should
do.
I believe that we ought to lower tax
»s rather than raise taxes, reduce ex
yense rather than increase expense,
reduce the pay roll if possible rather
han increase it. Aldermen C. L. Mc-
Millan, C. L. Lifsey, J. S. Sheppard and
J. M. Hunt, voted for the ordinance
wnd Aldermen King and Wakefield
Igainst it.
Under the charter five votes will
yver-ride my veto and the ordinance
will become a law and a city Record
»r will be elected and placed on a sal
wry, this 1 oppose for the reasons giv
sn in my message and as herein set
forth. Very truly,
J. GORDON JONES, Mayor.

INDORSES TANLAC
“YOU WILL HARDLY KNOW ME
WHEN WE MEET AGAIN, FOR |
AM GETTING WELL” HE WRITE S
TO ATLANTA FRIEND.
One of the latest additions to the
list of leaders of thought and acti.on
who have come forward with their
unqualified indorsement of Tanlac is
the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans, f >r
mer Mayor of Birmingham, Ala., x-
State Examiner of Public Accounts of
Alabama, and one-time editor of one
of the South’s greatest newspaperse—
The Birmingham Age-Herald.
Writing to a personal friend in .At
lanta, Mr. Evans says:
“Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 2, 1916.
“ ~ . By the way, you will hardly
know me when we meet again because
am getting well and strong again.
As I told you while in Atlanta last
month, T have been suffering a long
time with gastritis, as the doctors cull
it—really a disordered stomach with
consequent constipation, pains in the
shoulders, headache, belching, heart
burn, loss of appetite, loss of sleep and
fainting spells. For weeks I could not
sleep on my back.
“One week ago, upon recommen:ia
tion of friends, who had tried the
medicine, 1 purchased one bottle of
Tanlac and began taking it. Since
my second dose I have suffered none
of these troubles to which I refer, and
really believe I am going to get per
fectly well and strong again. Won't
that be wonderful of my age? Well,
certain it is that Tanlac is a wonder
ful medicine, and you know that. I
am not given to ‘puffing’ mere expari
ments and am -rather orthodox as to
materia medica.
“I shall continue the treatment with
perfect confidence in the final re-
BUlts: s
(Signed) “FRANK V. EVANS.”
Commenting on this splendid lin
dorsement of Tanlac, G. F. Willis,
Southern Distributor of Tanlac, said:
“Although the list of prominent :in
dorsers is a long one, I recall a few
leading names that lend both dignity
and credit to the entire array. Some
