OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
Ever since we predicted thirty-cent
cotton the price has been steadily de
clining. All of which goes to show
how much we don't know about the
markets. 1
Albany has been busy telling about’
the second car of hogs. The porkers
are going to market at a right rapidl
clip. This makes the Dougherty coun
ty stock man smile. We sent the sec
iv)nd car of porkers out of Crisp long
ago: (Have not sent the third yet).
Crisp started a car of porkers for
Moultrie last summer and another in
November.
Dr. Bahnsen must be a very nervy
tick eradicator. He is our now with
the statement that Lowndes, Thomas
and Colquitt counties could have had
the tick restrictions lifted this year
but for the trouble makers among the
stock raisers. While he is probably
thinking that this statement wil help
the unruly cattle men to be good so
as to hasten the day when the quar
antine will be lifted, it is more likely
that . those who have recently gone
into the courts to lick him and have
themselves been licked, will get
more sharp sticks. As time passes
more of -the stock raisers realize how
necessary is the war on the tick.
A HOPEFUL SIGN.
A.farmer out in Illinois shipped a
car load, 64 hogs, recently to market
and got $3,203.20 for them. They av
eraged 461 pounds each on the foot
and brought 10.85 a pound. Nothing
can be gives as to what the net prof
its were since no information was
given as to what the hogs cost to raise
and feed up to their selling welght.
But this is almost double what an av
erage car of hogs has been bringing
in the open market and is even now
$l,OOO more than the best price our
raisers get today, on account of thej
extra vbeight.
Last week a Sumter county stock
breeder, a man who came to that sec
tion vfi'_om the west, brought over to
Cordele a car load of Hampshire hogs
and sold them to the stock men and
the farmers of this county. It is just
as easily possible for the raisers here
to get the high prices for their hogs
as it is for'the western stock man. We
only need the hogs. Whether the
Hampshire hog is the proper stock is
a matter for the farmer and stock man
to determine. We know the meat can
be produced here as well as
.in the west or anywhere else.
! We know the farms here are vapz‘)lo
' of furnishing the crops for hog rais
ing and it is only necessary for the
live progressive farmer to realize the
value and importance.
The man who takes hold and begins
raising hogs and cattle in sure enough
bus.iness manner,—not for fancy
breeds or fair prizes, but for the mon
ey there is in it,.—is sure to become
finaneially strong much sooner than
his neighbor who clings to the old
method of a few acres to the tenant
and so many bales of cotton to the
plow as rentals.
The Illinois hog raiser has to con
duct his business much like we have
to do it here only we have the ad
vantage in climate and in mellow,
fertile soil. He has the same every
day ills that confromt us and the west
ern meat producer is the man today
with the most money clear and laid
away in the banks.
Whether the hogs brought in last
week are the best is a question we are
not trying to determiné&. Tt is our pur
pose to say that it is indeed encour
aging to see our farmers buy them
as they did at this sale. Later it will
mean more independence to the man
sho turns the trick.
! HARDWICK'S CALIBRE.
” Theer is apparent surprise in some
l quarters regarding «the rumor that
| Tom Hardwick s going to remove a
!number of federal officials in Georgia
|in order to take care of those who
!helped him in winning the race which
|placed him where he now stands. If
!ho does everything with which rumor
;('redils him, it will be just like Tom
illardwick. In his politics conscience
|and principle weight as nothing. Mod
;(v:\'t good taste,'manly square dealiing,
have nothing to do with his cam
}puigns and conquests in politics. Per
| sonally he may be a far different man.
il.ut us hope so.
i Report has it that United States Dis
in-icr Attorney Donaldson is to be su
perceded by Roland Ellis. Ellis is the
nan who is said to have put the lit
tlc red rooster out at the Dempsey
liotel when Hardwick came down to
Maeon to take his job. Robert A, Kel
lv, who resides in Tennille is said to
lo siated for U. S. Marshal to suc
cend Joseph A. Davis now holding this
jeb., Kelley resides within three
niiles of Hardwick’s home. He's a
1 cighbor. David C. Barrow, collector
a4t Savannah, it is also reported, will
Ve superceded by Robert J. Tl'iu."ls, a
v credited with having carried
(hatham for Hardwick.
This is what “senatorial courtesy”
means to Senator Hardwick. Some
hcdy ought to advise with him and
¢ rgest the dangers of driving ap
pe'ntments to suit his own personal
whims. Offices of this kind which be
lirg to the people are not to be fon
¢l .d with in such manner and if Geor
¢a sends a few more like Hardwick
{o offend in this manner, there will
L. a change due which will deprive
{.» faithful as well as the unfaithful
0108 of their right to distribute such
i.lronage.
’ lardwick will be lucky if he gets
2vay with these changes. The presi
’d« 1t has come into the agairs before
it is closed and people here in Georgia
n'y have something to say to him
a.out the matter. But Hardwick
r-y well be up and doing. It is time
li» began strengthening himself, for
s me good man will be with him in
tl ¢ next race ready to go all the paces.
Many a good citizen in Georgia
would go a long way to help lift Tom
m'e, the Game Cock. %
VICE 18-VICE. ' * .
The United States Supreme Court
his just handed down an opinion in
which it is held that personal immor
al oscapades come as much within
tl,o Mann white slave act as does com
me:cialized vice. In plain language,
tLose who go from one state to an
oll’r, even on personal jaunts, are‘
¢ sidered as much violators of the
Main law as are those who carry
women from one state to another for
tl.» purpose of using them in immoral
practice to make money.
This decision came in connection
wih the Caminetti and Diggs cases
that have been pending on an appeal
fr m the district courts in Sacremen
ill lor several years. The two young
i n owere convicted on what they
31\:'mcd trips with young women
iw'-(-re everybody agreed. They tried
‘to cscape on the ground that it was
)S;'lDL\' a personal immoral escapade.
[here was counisderable money
sjent to down the charges, both men
bng prominent and belonging to
fainilies influential.
Vice is vice. There s no escaping
that Diggs and Caminetti admitted
{l.'y had been on certain trips with
Im':nin young women and made no
|OL.~r( to disprove their immoral con-
d'ct, but neither the young men nor
{1 ~ir counsel ever dreamed that they
¢ld be held accountable under the
Mainn act. This decision of the high
et court in the land makes the Mann
wiite slave act rather far reaching
in cffect.
There have been women's organi
-2o cns. church organizations and va
rinus institutions engaged in uplift
work whose every effort has been di
rected towards shaping this federal
law so as to include the very conduct
charged against Diggs and Caminetti.
Tie chief reason given is that such
erses as that of Diggs and Caminetti
have been the real starting point in
tile downfall of thousands and thou
sands of women.
Those who attacked the validity and
the soundness of the law urged time
and time again that it opened the way
for black mail and made it easy for
unscrupulous women to send men to
their doom without as much as an
'THE; CORDELE DISPATCH, CORDELE,; GEORGIA.
| equal footing in..court. The court
takes cognizance of the claim" that
this view of the law will open the way
to black mail, but attention is direct
ed to the fact that this is a matter for
congress. And congress may yeth per
fect this one possible weakness in
the Mann act so that it can become an
even stronger agency for putting déwn
vice where it has becn herctofore im
possible to reach and uproot it. g ’i
As it stands, no man can venture’
the least bit and term himself safe,
Whoever doés lays his fortunes and fu
ture happiness under the fcot of his
female companion and at the game
t'me bhecomes easy prey for the se
cret agent of the department of jus
tice who shadows cases of this kind !
for the fun of it.
Oh, it is a long way to the land of
no vice. The federal government,
liowever, by this decision of the high
court, has been given a free hand to
stamp out an old, old form. If the
law is ever perfected so that it can
not be used in black mail, it will be
come ofte of the far reaching measures
for moral uplift. Tlts effect will be felt
from one end of this country to the
other. Tt strikes into the dens of
vice with keen adge. The new decis

KEEP UP THE HIGHWAY.
it is none of our business to be med
dling with our neighboring counties,
Dooly and Heuston, about the man
ner in which they are keeping up
their laps of the National Highway,
but it is coming to be a frequent com
plant around Macon and Atlanta that
through Houston and Dooly the Na
tional Highway is not being kept up
so that travel can negotiate these laps
with any degree of satisfaction.
Dooly and Houston may not appre
ciate our telling them of the com
plants, but we do not believe these
countieg want to block the use of the
National Highway and!they will get
things in shape if they are properly
approached. There may be reasonable
excuse. Let us hope nothing is to
delay the work long.
When one county fails to care
for its lap of such a thoroughfare as
the National Highway, it destroys the
value of the whole structure. When
there. is a possibility of complaint, it
will be made and the kind of com
plaint now being made against Hous
ton and Dooly regarding the National
Highway hurts all of us.
I.et us remember how eager our ri
val friends of the many-pronged Dixie
talke hold of something they can use
to draw from the usefulness of the
National Highway. Their whole
thoroughfares, both ways, it is said
now, are many times worse for travel
than is the National Highway. Be that
as it may let us hope that Dooly and
Houston will be up and doing. When
we are remiss as to keeping our own
lap in good shape, then let them tell
us about it. We will consider it a fa
vor to the people of the county.
HOPES FOR THE TEACHER.
The papers describing Miss Annette
Adams ,new assistant United States
District Attorney in California, state
that five years ago she was only a
country school teacher. Now that she
is in a new place, the novelty of which
for a woman gives her wide notoriety,
she is still no better than the country
school teacher that she was five years
ago. She must have been a good one.
If she was, there is no greater new
usefulness under the sun for her. In
her present position there is no such
dpportunity as her old position offer
ed for doing good.
But she has gone up in the estima
tion of the world and is in a poesition
that carries dignity. She is now so
for removed from the old that the
world, in telling of her advancement
to the new position, with significant
emphasis refers to the fact that s;}‘.o
was once only a country school teach
er. Measuring her success, one yard
stick for all, there is hope for the
country schoo! teacher.
Do you read the lives of the men
who make the history of this country?
Do you know the whole of the lives of
the women who Thelp mould the
thought for the rest of the world? If
vou do, you must recall how many of
them have at one time or another
been country school teachers. Read
the biographies of those whese names
are in the first ranks of our states
men. Nine out of ten of them taught
country schools,
Not all the country school teach
ers have climbed to fame, but the
Bood ones have blazed their ways
through the wilds of an uninviting
world ‘and have carried themselves
and those with whom they come in
touch to better things. Those who
liave loved their work are the men
and women that are vitally shapingJ
the intelligence of the rest of thel
world, 3

CATTLE AND BEANS.
Athens, Ga., Jan. 13, 1916.
Editor Cordele Dispatch,
Cordele, Ga.
Dear Sir:
I have learned that some heavy
iceses of cattle have occurred in Crisp
county on account of digestive trou
blcs, caused by velvet beans the cat
tle were grazed on. When I learneg of
the trouble T began an inquiry to see
{f any information céuld be obtained as
to why the animals were so serevely
aflected. i
it was learned from a county agent
that cattle in his county had been sim
ilarly affected. After some seven or
cight head of cattle had been lost the
agent and a veterinarian made post
mortem examinations on three ani
mals. It was found that the first stom
ach of the animals had become com
pact with the parts of crushed beans,
which parts were very heavy and re
mained in the stomach while the more
bulky food was belched up and chew
od again by the animal. This accumu
lation of flinty food finally fermented
and set up violent cases of diarrhoea,
and death followed. I am informed
that the animals in Crisp were severe
ly attacked with diarrhoea.
The veterinarian prescribed a dose
of Epsom salts of two pounds given
in warm water to the animals as soon
as detected as being affected, fcllow
ing with another pound of salts the
next day. This will tend to flush out
the first stomach and remove the
causes. The animals are very much
weakened after this treatment. It
is recommended that a tonic made up
;’ni' four ounces of sulphate of iron;
}!‘u':r ounces of gentian and one-fourth
of an ounce of nux vomica be given in
doses of one tablespoonful twice each
oy in feed. Of course it is needless
to say that the animals should be
taken off beans.
It is hoped that these simple reme
dies may be of some aid to any who
may have trouble of this kind with
cattle. Very truly yours,
J. A JOFNSON.
