We had turkey aroundt hese ‘““dig- |
gins” for Thanksgiving at an average I
of. fifteen cents per pound. People
in New York balked at forty-eight and
# iy eénts a pound for dressed turkey |
and they.let it alone. Balking is an
effective revenge against the food pro
- “diicts gambler but it will take busy
“ ‘geasons of practice in this line before
he is whipped.
John D. and his associates don’t
care. Just to show you how they can
discriminate against the town that
has such an air tight blue law, as to
exgluge the sale of gasoline on Sun
day, you are paying 23 cents a gallon
while in St. Louis a man can drive a
" Hank Ford on the same kind of gas
oline you use at a price of 13 cents
per gallon. Whose move next? Six
days at 23 cents, one day to rest.
. The merchant should learn to save
paper himself. He need not wrap a
package that ig already securely en
cased. No need of a wrapping paper
-~ -about shoes. No need of a bundle of
. paper about a can of tomatoes or a
| package of toasties. That's waste.
. Tons of paper can be saved in this
" ‘line as well as in the newspaper shops.
“Hogging” the road is more than an
unmanneredly habit for the autoist to
assume It is a dangerous one. The
refustl to divide roadway in south
" Georgia last week cost four auto dri
vers considerable damage to their ma
chines and also caused injury to per
" ‘sons from which will more than likely
arise litigation. It is much easier to
" slow down and divide roadway. :
By this time the neutral nations
ought to be learning a lesson about
taking sides with the entente allies.
Every time one casts lots with Eng
land and Russia, these two big powers
let Germany devour it before there is
time to talk about it. We are not at
the business of running the European
war, but it looks is if there was little
care given Roumania, the moment af
ter that little nation anonunced its in
tention to join the forces against Ger
many. Germany has almost swept its
people from their native haunts. It is
time somebody come to their relief.
How many of us are going to learn
butter making the next year on a large
scale? This is one of the food com
modities which has been in the hands
of the food products gamblers for a
number of years. As long as he can
squeeze forty-five and fifty cents a
plound from us for his butter he is
going to do so. We have no right to
complain for we could produce every
pound we can consume and far more
on the waste dairy feed that should
be saved. Our smoke house used to
be in the west more than it is now.
Qur dairy center is Elgin, 111, and the
butter that comes to us from this
__.source is priced by one of the most
" carefully managed combines in the
-weountry. Home production will stop
this.
'S BOSCO NOT ROSCOE.
The North Georgia Citizen talks
* about South Georgia Roscoe Luke
much as if he were of the original
“eats ’'em alive' stripe. It was not
Roscoe that ate ’em alive in the origi
nal. That was Bosco. Ask the Sa
vannah K. P's if that isn’t right. They
have the original Bosco now on exhib
it.
' . But we must admit that Roscoe
Luke did “eat 'em alive” at that state
convention. He got a whole lot more
than cught to have come him and
_were he not a south Georgian, we
would have something more to sa)
about it. But drawing a six-year tern
was plain nigger luck.
T CHANGING THE 'SCHOOLS.
Now it develops that the fight start!
ed by Watson and his cz-ndidav;; Keese
dgainst’ e fule’ ibfj gertain | school
buildings owhed by Catholics in Sa
‘vanah for state school purposes has
Hlit harder than it was presumed such
{a fight would hit. When the state at
7torney general got hold of the ques
-Ilion and handed down an opinion, it
!was found tha,t;,g,compiete separation
|nf church and state in the matter of
’schools would affect Baptists, Meth
iodists and other denominations over
élhe state as well as the Catholics, In.
iuther words, Baptists and Methodists
were condudting schools where state
funds were helping to defrrally the ex
| penses.
} Now the Baptists and Me:thodists‘
| «re quietly slipping -out from tl}eir con- ‘
‘nections of this kind. They have been
wdvised by the state attorney 'general
o do 0 at their first, opportunity, for‘
(he state can no longer support such
;chools. The Mefflodists at the ses
sions of the South Georgia confer
nce in Thomasville have made pro
visions for changing plans of operat
ng five of their secondary schools.
Wherever the Methodists have a
‘chool drawing from the state fund
ind that school is preparing the child
:n such grades as the state can legal
'y pay for, it has been considered wise
nd helpful to permit such school to
iraw the state fund for such child as
; within the age legally prescribed.
And so it had been with the Baptists‘
‘nd others. :
But Watson and Keese startedl
seeding out the Catholics and the
rocess is now weeding out the Bap
ists and Methodists. And it is go
g to hurt education in general
hroughout the state, unless the at
ack serves to enlist interest from oth
r sources. Wherever a church edifice i
"5 being used as a school building, the ;
state cannot help pay for the main-l
snances of the school. Wherever a
oligious denomination has anything,%
o do with' the operation of a school.l‘
lle state cannot have anything to do |
with the paying for its maiutenance.:
o matter how many children arel
here of state age and entitled to the
state fund. 1
% The religious denominations of the |
~late are doing a wonderful educa
‘onal work,—far more than the ordi
-ary person can estimate. The Cath
~ lics are educating children, too, as
| nany of them as they can muster.
WVatson's fight against a .ém'mnna.h‘
chool that was conducted in a build
‘ug owned by the (atholics, has made
i necessary now to draw the line ev
rywhere. No school operated by a
“oligious denomination anywhere can
.ave a dollar of the state fund, so
olds Attorney General Walker in con
iection with the Savannah case.
~ Most of us believe in a separation
~ { church and state. That however, is
ot the thing now. It is the educa
ion of the young under any sort of
~pod influence or religious denomina
jon rather than have nothing. If the
\lethodists and Baptists and Cath
olics want to help as they have been
aelping, it is nonsense to allow Wat
‘on’s political attacks to interfere.
THE NEGRO'S REGRET.
We do not believe our section of the
state has suffered the loss of many
f its good steady negroes to the
northern labor agents who came here
during the past few months telling of
‘e opportunities that awaited the
w\"()rking man in that part of the coun
‘vy. But hundreds of negroes went
and around Pittsburg and other large
vanufacturing centers the laboring
communities are now alive with the
wcgroes who have neither work nor
anything with which to get back to the
south.
Last week in one night the Pittsburg
“olice picked up 148 straggling ne
~roes and locked them up under
charges of vagrancy. This is one of
{he best evidences that conditions
there are no better than at home. If
‘hat many negroes could be taken
in even on suspicion, it was an evi
dence that the matter oft work at high
prices is a lure, a false presentation
of fact and simply a method employed
to get the negro.
Big industrial enterprises only hope
{0 use the negro as a safety, scotch
against the loss of more skilted white
help. The north and east do®not in
tend to use the negro. Tiie would be
olad to have him in case of strike and
wage disputes, for they have an idea
that the negro can be substituted at
Teast in“tfmes ot “this trouble. © 3
. But they are mfistaken, Thé negro
can do nothing of the kind. ‘Skilled
white' unigh Tabor’ Wi’ not per
mit the negro to work. He is not dis
posed to fight his way to these high
priced. jobs, if they should be vacated.
‘He knows the dangers.
~ But the hitch that is worse than
%a.ll is the fact that there are no high
‘priced jobs open for the laborers.
There are none for southern whites,
and certainly less opportunity for the
negro. Undoubtedly there are agen
cies at work, wilch furnish the money
somewhere that takes these mnegroes
north, but there are none that keep
him at work and none bring him
safely hack home.
+ It will wind up the negro’s regret
if anybody’'s. The steady negf'o is still
here. The vagrant element gone to
the north will want to come back.
The d;;gmmmt stands
and restaurants, news sales boys and
shoe shine stands all looked like “the
day after” Sunday.
We had turkey around there ‘dig
about understanding why so many peo
ple in Cordele own automobfles. The
thing is beginning to explain itself
now. Who would be without one on
Sunday?
Americus has put one over, anyhow.
We raised the roof in campaigning
time, got a handsome fund for the
democratic big squeeze to spend on
the election and announced that we
had done well, even before that city
had a good start. And we sent more
money. But now they have a letter
of thanks signed by the president him
self on exhibit over in Americus. Guess
he forgot to mail us one. Sure that
was his intention.
A man in Chicago has seventy-two
million eggs which he bought at 24
cents a dozen and stored them earlier
in the year. Now he is offering them
at 52 cents and the people of Chicago
have joined the housewives in a hoy
cott. The law requires this egg deal
er to have all of his hign-priced eggs
disposed of before the year is out, else
they will be seized and destroyed. The
housewives have only to keep up their
fight a little while and ‘this man will
change his mind about the price he
wants.

STATE ELECTION COUNT
‘ SHOWS BIG DEMOCRATIC VOTE
“"AN e aaw " -w6 - . . v
\
~ Atlanta, Dec. s—The official count
‘on the presidential election in Geor
gia has been completed in the gov
ernor’'s office and is herewith announc
‘ed for the first time.
| Wilson, 125,831.
~ Hughes—Republican ticket, 11,276.
~ Hughes—Progressive ticket, 20,653.
Socialisth, 967.
Prohibitionists, 0. The prohibition
‘party placed no ticket in the field.
| The official count has several inter
;vsling features. While the democrat
ic vote is larger than that of four
years ago, the Republican vote in the
state, was split in two, owing to the
‘:wo factions which have sprung up
and the two separate Hughes tickets
‘in the field. The Hughes-Republican
ticket represented the Jackson wing
'of the Republicans in Georgia, that
is, the old line Republicans, while the
fHlughes-Progressive ticket represent
od the activities of the men who are
working to build up a second white
party in Georgia.
The county, of course, gives Georgia
_its usual solid democratic congression
| al delegation of twelve members.

London, Dec. s.—Reports received
from the United States that an organ

lseveral editorials in opposition to such
ga move.
| “If th eallies are even reduced to an
| armistrice by the American intrigues,”

!m the cause of the world freedom.
}’l‘heret‘ore We suggest to our Ameri

| to make money out of it, it would be
| wisdom for them to leave us to fight

The Morning Post argues that the
| Germans are willing for peace imme
diately, and would give the entente
everything they desire, but only on
,one condition, namely, that Germany
be allawed a free hand in Central and
'South America.

RESULTS TELL.
There Car Be Na Doubt About the
Results in Cordele.
All doubt is removed.
The testimony of a Cordele citizen.
Can be easily investigated.
What better proof can be had?
M. H. Collins, printer, Elevetnh, av
enue, Cordele, says: “I had a dull
pain in my back and could hardly get
out of bed in the morning. It was
all T could do to dress myself. 1
could hardly get to sleep and I had
to get up often as the pain bothered
me so. 1 always felt tired and lan
guid and had to sit down several
times during the day to rest. The
ored and burned in passage. I suffer
ed from dreadful headaches and diz
zy spells and black spots often float
ed before my eyes. Two boxes of
Dean's Kidney Pills cured me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers.” Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
