FURTHER CONNECTION.
Judge W. P.' Fleming, ordinary of
Crisp county, who was at the begin

istration board for the war depart
ment.
Judge Fleming writes two letters,
one to Judge Crum indicating that he

The letters follow:
Editor Dispatch—
Now and then some one comes to
me about a Juvenile Court matter
My time is more than occupied, my
energies are over-taxed with duties I
must attend.
In order that my relation to the Juv
jenile Court may be clearly under
stood and distinctly terminated, I am
herewith giving you a copy of my res
ignation of the judgeship of that
Court ,for which T have greatest res
pect, but no time to discharge itz un
compensated duties. _
August 24th, 1917.
W. P. FLEMING.
LETTER TO JUDGE CRUM.
Cordele, August 13, 1917.
Dear Sir: lam duly sensible of the
honor conferred upon me by your
designation and appointment of the
Court of Ordinary to act and be
known as the Juvenile Court of Crisp
County, and it has been my constant
purpose to demonstrate the proper
placement of that trust by full and
proper discharge of the duties of that
responsible position. This I ha{'e, at
least, sought to do, at my own ex
pense of time and energy and money.
The last few months placed bur
dens upon me that are heavy, but
which, by the Eternal, I will never,
refuse to bear. But it is thus render
ed impossible for me to be other than
nominally Judge of the juvenile court.
Time and: nerve force for necessary
study in pursuit of best results are
denied me. lam unwililng to to sac
rifice the interests, whatever they
may be, of the public, insofar as these
interests may be represented in the
juvenile court; nor am I personally
desirous of being in more name what
1 am not in fact.
The circumstances in which T find
myself demand, therefore, that I re
sign that office with which I was in
trusted by reason of your very Kkind
and appreciated consideration.
Yours very truly,
W. P. FLEMING,
Judge Juvenile Court for Crisp Co.

COMMISSIONERS TO GO OVER
THE ROUTES BEGINNING AUG

Abbeville, Aug. 24—The Dixie
Highway Association has directed the
president of the asotiation, Judge M.
M. Allison, of Chattanooga, and .the
Georgia commissioners, Clark Howell,
,of Atlanta, and W. T. Anderson, of|
Macon, to make an official inspection
of the Central and Eastern routes of
the highway from Macon, beginnig
August 30.
PTwo years ago there was sharp
competition between these two routes|
for the officials designation, and .thel
counties along both lines made promi
ges as to what would be done in the
way of construction of bridges and
maintenance of roads. The associa
tion has concluded that sufficient
time has elapsed to permit of the full
fillment of these promises, and now
desires an official inspection and re
port as to the condition of the roads
and what has been done on bridge
building. 3 |

TROLLER AND GOVERNOR.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 24.—1 n an eftort
to provide as much revenue as pos
sible to meet the state appropriations,
allowed by the Legislature just ad
journed, the property has been fixed
at a maximum allowed under the Con

he rate of five mills was fixed by

ibonds of the state, and for the gener-‘
%al purposes, including the support of

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED.
Fitzgerald, Aug. 4.—M. J. Fergu
son, one of thic early pioneers of the
Colony City was fougd dead in his
room on South Sheridan street last
Monday morning.
Suspicion pointed to the fact some
thing was wrong at the Ferguson
home on the morning in question,
when Mr. S. P. Register, a near neigh
bor, detected a rank oder coming
from the Ferguson home, which caus
ed him to believe that something was
wrong. Acting on that belief he noti
fied the police, who, on entering the
Ihcuse, found the body on a cot, in a
small house Mr. Ferguson had occu
ipied for years, and who had lived a
sort of a hermit life.

“From the date herein specified
for you to report, you will be in the
military service of the United States
and subject to military law. Failure
to report or unpunctuality are grave
military offenses punishable by court
martial. Willful failure to report
with intention to evade military rser

“You will be held under the orders
of this board until the hour of depart

the Local Board will furnish you with
food and lodging. If you live within

only if you fill out and forward to the
office of the Local Board at once the

The various committees of the

August 27, when the special agents,
acting at patriotic representatives of

information which will be submitted
to the g()vermnvn(.
In all inspections miruie care will

danger the property. (‘o-operation
will be secured from the city officials,
police departments and other officers.
The carelessness of handling cotton
at compresses and warechouses will
be watched and prompt steps taken to
gee that the extreme congestion at
cotton centers is prevented. So en
thusiastic is Governor Dorsey that he
has reguested the commitee to notify
him of the progress of inspection so

i The campaign is divorced tfrom the
insurance business, and the govern

LOCAL FISH DEALERS URGE

AN UNNECESSORY EXPENSE—
SHARK MEAT OFFERED.
Local fish dealers, The Cordele
Fish & Oyster Company, are putting
on a campaign for more fish eating.
Of course, it is a plain business propo
sition, but they consider that there is
much to be saved and are therefore
joining the other fish dealers of the
country in an effort to bring before
the public the cheaper fish diet,
Down in Savannah people are tak
ing to the suggestion that the shark
meat is a gocd diet and it may be that
much will be cut off the meat bills
that way. Here it is not expected
that any strong effort will be made to
introduce the shark meat, but the
fish will be offered in great gnantities

LEADS ALL OTHER STATES IN
COUNTRY BY A MILLION BALES
~———MILLS COMING SOUTH.
Washington, D. C., August 24,
“Censumption of cotton in Southern
nills during the twelve months end
ed July 31 exceeded that in all other
states by more than a million bales,”
said President Harrison, of the South
ern Railway System, today.
“The report of the United States
(‘ensus Bureau for the cotton statisti
cal year shows that the mills in cot
ton-producing states consumed 3,901,
413 bales, as compared with a con
sumption of 899,775 bales in the mills
of all other states. The increase for
the year in Southern mills was 373-
885 bales, or nearly 11 per cent, as
compared with an increase of 29,*90
bales or barely one per cent in other
states.
“The growth of the cotton manufac
turing industry in the South may he
said to date from 1800, in which year
Scuthern mills consumed but 188,748
bales, while the consumption in all
other states was 1,381,596 bales. A
comparison of these figures with
those of the year just ended shows an
increase of 1,966 per cent in the
Southern mills and but 155 per cent
in the mills of other states.”

T. A. ROYAL HAS DECIDTD THEY
WILL ALMOST MEASURE WITH
COTTON AS MONEY CROP.
Mr. T. A. Royal, one of the oldest
and most prominent farmers of the
southern portion of the county, in the
Arabi district, stated yesterday that
his peanut crop and those of most of
his neighbors are going to prove quite
as valuable as the cotton that has
heen made.
“We were talking it over today,”
e said, “and had agreed that we
‘would even up with cotton. Of course,
all. this will depend on what the entire
| crop in each instance brings. If cot
ilun runs low, the peanuts will beat it
2 long way as a money maker. If
‘lhl' peanuts run low and the cotton
| high, there will be more talk of a difs
‘l’vront kind. But we are pleased with
| our peanuts.
| “we will gather forty to sixty bush-
I«-Is per acre. The crop is good, the
}yis\l(l almost up to the highest ex.
| pectation, and with us the peanut is
:nnt such a bad article at all. Wae
must come to the bhest methods of
‘growing peanuts for heavy yield.
| This is a farm drop we are going to
| find more and more a necessity.”
ECRISP HAS MORE MEN NOW

- Crisp county has its quota for mili

spare if things go on like they are
Neading at present. They really
could have been gotten out of the first
call it it had nci been for the fact
jtlmt a considerable number of “al
itonmtns" had to be groomed and
ready in case of appeals on exemption
| fights.
i A large number of those who ex
pressed their intention on the first
“call to claim exemption did not do it
‘Smne who did claim exemption, with-
Jdrew and the quota came rapidly
with all these fine forces at work.
l And the who who are absent,—this
county will get credit for them as fast
ius they are caught. Some are away
'because they do not know, others
ilmvn enlisted already and gone, but
there are about thirty missing, ‘“‘some-
Iwhpre." This will put Crisp now
