BROUGHT STRONG INFLUENCE
TO BEAR AND PLACED RESPON
SIBILITY ON HIM OF DUTY TO
PERFORM.
More politics! The local political
pot is good and boiling. The primary
comes off on November 21 and things
. are getting lively. The candidates are
‘out doing personal work, making a
canvass of the voters.
J. E. Lindsey injected considerable
. interest into the aldermanic campaign
by his announcement today. Friends
of Mr. Lindsey have been urging him
strongly to place his name hefore the
voters of the city as a candidate for
alderman, and Mr. Lindsay has hesi
tated until his friends have brought
such pressure to bear that he feels
like he would be failing in a duty to
withhold his name. While he has a
short time to get out among the vot
ers, he has assurances of excellent
support.

CCMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
ELECT INTIMATES THAT J. GOR
DON JONES' PROPOSITION WILL
, PE CONSIDERED SOON AFTER
HE TAKES OFFICE.
Atlania, GCect. 31.—One of the first
things which the state agricultural de
| partment will turn its attention, when
’LhC new administration takes charge
next June, will be the realization of
Ithe best of the several suggestions
’ made for the creation of home market
organizations in the state, according
‘to a statelnent made today by J. J.
'Brown, who will be elected to the of
fice in November.
~ That the plan being worked on as a
community proposition now by J. Gor
don Jones and others, of Crisp.county,
will most likely get first attention and
earnest support of the department, is
indicated in Mr. Brown,s talk. “The
general plan outlined by Mr. Jones
and the other gentlemen of Cordele,
who are working with him,” says Mr.
Brown, “seems to be based on discus
sion of home marketing which has
held so much attention in the past
yvear or two; but the details of the
Jones plan are what makes so much
for the gigantic prospect in it. That
idea of an immediate source of cash
for small amounts of farm products, no
matter what they may be. That, I be
lieve, is about the most magnificent
idea yet presented in the study of a
condition which the whole southern
farming country, and particularly the
state of Ceorgia, is now called
upon to put into practical operation.
We have all theorized on it, and an-(
hlyzed it until T believe all of both’
#he rural and the city and town peo
ples have accepted the need of llome!
markets as the essential work of our
people. |
Long-Discussed Problem.
“The farmers have always asked
only for a fair return on the product
of their lands and their labors, and,
to get that return, a reasonable place
and method for marketing them, and
it has been that marketing problem
which has been most on my mind for
a long time—particularly as president
of the state organization of farmers.
“The suggestion, which has become
general, that a method for marketing
farm products by establishing a cen
tral point in the state where bulk
shipments could be made up, and by
making that a sort of general apency
to find and dispose of in the world
making that a sort of general agency
price is good as far as it goes, but
it is true, as Mr. Jones claims, that
there yet remains, under that pros
pective system, the question of im
mediate availability, of spot cash for
the little fellow who has only a mite
of stuff on which he wants to realize
at once. And it is that particular de
tail in Mr. Jones’ plan which seems
to be a sort of blaze of sunlight to
work to.”
The feature of the Jones plan to
which Mr. Brown refersu is that of a
community club, composed of mer
chants, business men and any others
interested in the welfare and devel
opment of the immediate commun
ity, make up 2 county or home mar
ket organization. Eventually such an
organization will become quite self
sustaining by disposing of itself of
sneh produce as it buys in, but, of
necessity, it must have an available
cash supply on which to begin doing
cash business with the small farm
er. For that purpose only, the home
interests imake up, by small sums,
the original capital on which the
Lhome market association will begin
operations. o
To Start at Cordele.
The purpose then would be that of
the store-room, warehouse or office
—whatever it may be called—of the
home market association, located in
Cordele as the point in Mr. Jones’
mind ,since that is his home town
and community, will announce to the
farming world of Crisp coun tythat it
is ready to pay the day’s market
price for anything they want to sell
from a farm. The man who wants
to immediately realize two or three
dollars for the purchase of a pair
of shoes for his wife, and “wants the
money right now,” will be able to
put a couple of bushels of corn and

WILL TRY FARMER ON
DECATUR COUNTY CHARGES
Bainbridge, Oct. 31.—Interest in
the November term of Decatur coun
ty superior court, which meets here
soon, will center in the trial of J. F.
Moose, a white farmer of this county,
on the charge of a criminal attack on
his own Ibyear-old daughter. Moose
was tried and convicted at a former
session, and was sentenced to death,
but secured a new trial upon an ap
peal. His daughters, testified against
him at the first trial.
The November session will be the
last appearance of Judge I C. Cox
on the Superior court bench in this
county. It is likely that he will be
tendered a banquet by the bar asso
ciaticn at this session. Judge W. M.
‘Harrell, a prominent local attorney,
has been elected to succeed Judge
Cox, who was not a candidate for the
judgeship.
cateh up a hog, or whatever small
some sweet potatoes in sacks, or
item of farm preduce he may have,
and at once concert it int 6 cash at
the home market. This, as Mr. Jones
points out, immediately reaches the
smallest farmer in the state, and yet
is not so small that it doesn’t at the
same time take care of the largest
farmer on anything he has for mar
keting, in no matter what quantity.
Its primary object, however, will be
to open a way to the little fellow,
who has raised or raises too little
to market for himself in bulk ship
ments, the market place he must
have.. That it will relieve that small
man of entering into a community
collection in order to make up
enough pr.oduce of any kind to con
stitute a shipment suitable for a
large or open market and thereafter
have to wait a number of days for
the money return to come from that
shipment after its arrival in what
ever market it is destined for.
“It is my purpose to give this sub
jest very close study and the depart
ment is going to lend its best ef
forts in cooperation with the people
of the state who are trying to build
up tliese markets. In fact, I'm not
going to wait until next summer to
go into the thing, but I expect to find
out just how far Mr. Jones has gone
down there in Crisp county with his
particular work, and what assistance
can be given him right away. I be
lieve it is the coming thing for the
state”
Cleveland was born. They quarrelled
persistently, and Mrs. Beutinger said
after the shooting, her husband had
entered her room and attacked her.
She said she shot in self defense.

SINKING OF THE MARINA MAY
EMBROIL GERMANY AND AMER
ICA—INYESTIGATION ORDERED.
Washington, Oct. 31.—Destruction
of the British horse transport Marina
by a German submarine, without
warning, with possible loss of Amer
ii(‘.an lives, and the endangering of
‘the lives of seven American citizens
’in the submarine attack on the Brit
ish freighter Rowanmore, reported
‘l‘rom Queenstown today by American
Consul Frost, contain possibilities of
‘reviving the submarine issue De
tween the United States and Germa
my.
Investigation, officials realize, may
disclose that there has been no viola-
Ition of German pledges to the United
States.
~ The report on the destruction of
llhe Marina refers to the ship as “a
British horse transport.” If it turns
‘out that she was in fact in the trans
port service of the British govern
ment, it may be found that the mixed
crew of British and American horse
itenders could claim none of the im
munity. against attack without warn
ing that attaches to a merchant ship.
Orders were dispatched at once to
lgather all information to determine
%khe status of the Marina and her
brew.
Although no American lives were
lost in the submarine attack on the
Rowanmore and the ship altered her
own status by attempting to escape
officials were disturbed by the report
that the boats were shelled after
they had cleared from the abandoned
ship. The facts are expected to de
termine by investigation which was
ordered begun at once. The Rowan
more was bound from Baltimore for
Liverpool with a mixed cargo.
Consul Frost, at Queenstown, spe
cified that the information he trans
'mitted was ‘“‘provisional.” Investiga
"tion will be made at once to deter
mine the status of the Marina and
'tlm nature of the attack to determine
I'whnther any of Germany's p]e(}g@s
to the United States have been vio
lated.
The state department issued this
summary of Consul FFrost’s dispatch:
The British horse transport Marina
with a mixed crew of British and
Americans, was reported sunk with
out warning by German submarine
gunfire at 3 p. m. October 28, 100
miles west of Cape Clear, in an of
inficial report received at the state
“department today from Consul Frost
!at Queenstown. Thirty-four of the
‘L(:rew of 104 have been landed at
Crookhaven, while seventy others,
presumably those in boats 1 and 3,
‘are missing. Consul Frost says his
information so far is purely “pro
visional.”
