There are rumors that a demo
cratic Germany may bhe yet a specta
cle for the world to gaze upon, It
would be some spectacle,
Separate dealings with the German
government in a move for peace will
cease in this country. This is the
word which comes from the president
The Americans were on the necks
of their adversaries yesterday and
the day need quite a consideml./:
gain for our troops.
No peace with the Kaiser and his
war lords either now or later,—that
gounds much like the language we
would have used if we were doing
the fighting. |
The British went after the
enémy for quite a econsiderable
gain in the night by attacking under
a new method. Of late the British
have proven themselves masters in
every tight place.
The note writing is meaning very
grave injury to the cause of the al
lies. There ougth not to be another
word said to the Germans except as
directed by the military authorities
in charge of the drive against them,
Much farm land is being sold and
is changing hads about this section
The word always goes that it brought
good prices, No prices that have
been received for lands in Crisp coun
ty for the past few years have been
good prices, These lands will be go
ing at $150.00 an acre before five“
more years have passed. 7
The young man who goes to this
war to fight for his country, because
he realizes that it is his duty, will be
one of the heroes of the days to come.
The slacker will have nothing in af
ter years but a life full of explana
tions that will be hard to make, and
the young man who goes because he
has ty go, can never proud of his pa
triotism unlés he cultivates it to a
mu-h higher degree. ‘
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion talked quite as if they were a
bit larger than Director Bill McAdoo
in the matter of determining when a
freight rate is fair or unfair. They
still claim the right to change rates,
even without a showing as to wheth
they are unjust, and that body inti
mates that it will go on making chan
ges when they deem them necessary.
The Germans are strangely silent
about what they intend to do with
old Russia. They are apparently at
the task of helping Austria dispose
-of that part of Poland which has been
over run, It will soon be time to
tell what is in store for that portion
of Russia which has been over run in
the same manner.
BAKER WAS AT HOME
Enlisted men of the American Ar
my grinned sympathically as they
watched the American Secretary of
War, Newton D. Baker, trudging
!ba(-k and forth carring the heavy
}pack of the American soldiers, on his
‘back, when he visited a camp of
American soldiers in the Winchester
district while in England. The men
were adjusting their cumbersome
kits when the Secretary arrived at
the camp.
“I would like to try of them,” said
the Secretary to the sergeant,
The Lord Mayor of Winchester, the
camp cemmandant and group of sol
diers all gathered about as Mr. Bak
er lifted the pack and adjusted it to
his shoulders. Then he trudged back
and forth two or three times carry
ing the seventy pound load kit, bang
ed against his legs.
“It’s heavy, alright,” he commented
as he unburdened himself, “but not
50 leavy as the Frenchman’s pack.
I tried one of them on a few days
ago and it gave me an additional re
spect for the Frenchman as a soldier,
The Secretary made himself at
liome and was friendly with the sol
diers. Everywhere he carried his pipe
nd several times filled it from some
soldiers pouch as he engaged in a ca
sual chat with the men. “The whole
country is behind you with every
thing it possesses,” “was one of his
frequent messages to the fighting
men. In the Red Cross hospitals the
Secretary went through the wards
and had a few cheery words for each
of the patients. :
In some of the camps he dropped
in upon the soldiers at mess time and
lunched with the big crowd of them
in the mess tents beside a little wood
land stream. He looked through
scores of barracks and living quar
ters, He inspected kitchens and spent |
ten minutes watching soldiers play
ing a scrub game of basball, His in
spection of the Red Cross activities
was comprehiensive., He saw the bath
ing houses in (;peration with © long
lines of rain-coated soldiers waiting
their turn at the showers. He saw the
dental huts, with the Red Cross den
tists busy at their work. He visited
several Red Cross recreation huts
and listened to the Red Cross brass
bands at practice.
At one camp he found his cousin,
Sergeant Harry Chiswell of Cleve
land and chatted with him for ten
minutes. Altogether the Secretary
gained an excellent impression of
what the American Army authorities
have done in prepararing comfortable
and sanitary camps for the soldiers
in the Winchester district, south of
London, in preparation for the winter
l ATTEND THIS MEETING
Mr. Editor:
columns to invite the eetaahrdlhrdl
Please permit me through your col
lumns to invite the people of the state
i to attend the convention of coton seed
Producers and business men general
-Iy, to be held in the hall of the house
of Representatives at the Capitol, At
anta, at 2:30 p. m., Tuesday, October
20th.
I The deplorable conditions in the cot
ton seed industry can be remedied
only by determined organized effort.
While the producer has been silent,
the mills, through their organization
lknown as the Cotton Seed Crushers
'Assm‘iatinn. have eagerly co-operat
ed with the Food _Administration,
fmore or less editing the information
fupnn which prices have been stabiliz
ed.
i As federal Food Administrator, Mr.
‘llnovor's only desire is to serve the
‘best interests of the American peo
‘plv. In stabilizing the prices of cot
ton seed and their products, he will
naturaliy welcome the patriotic co
operation of the producers, and all the
information they can give him.
To furnish this co-operation and in
formation, to aid the Foood Adminis
tration in preventing waste and ex
‘citation, the producers of Georgia
have organized. This organization
must be extended to other states, and
must be permanent.
| It is the greatest importance that
‘the patriotic citizens of Georgia at
tend the Atlanta convention on Oct.
t:}flth.
. Respectfully,

SABOTAGE HIS WEAPON
Sabotage is the favorite weapon of
the Russian. He uses it more effecti
ely than the rifle and understands it
better. ' ——
It was sabotage which over threw
;Emperor Nicholus, The Kerensky pro
;vislonal government succumbed to
Isabotage. In neither cause was there
ian extensive military character to the
‘movement which gave Russia a new
‘government.
And now the weapon which the Bol
sheviki and their supporters of the
extreme left used on previous govern
ments has been turned against them.
In the food situation, on the railways
in various government bureaus, in
public service organizations of all
sorts, among bankers, business and
professional men, and even among
peasants the government encounters
hindrance and gbstruction of a type
which cannot be punished and stamp
ed out. :
| Commigsar Tsurupa, who lis in
!’(:harge of the national food supply
|recently stated in a speech that 1500
perosns in his department alone had
retained positions fo:' months and pre
tended to work, when they were in
reglity doing all they could to hind
er the food administration.
Trosky, Lenine and other Bolshe
vik speakers and agitators have made
the the most of the sabotage directed
against them by loudly proclaiming
in all sections of Russia that the dis
order they inherited from the Keren
sky reime and the operation directed
against them by enemies within the
government, as well as outside, has
prevented the oviet republic from bet
tering the food situation and getting
commerce and industry back into
uormal channels.
This view was accepted by the la
boring masses very generally for
some time, but after eight months of
the Bolshévik républic it is apparant
that the laboring men are no longer
willing to accept abuse of 'various
anti-Bolshevik factiens as a complete
excuse for the deplorable lack of food
The loss of the Ukraine grain sup
ply and the cutting off of the Sibe
rian wheat stores by the Czecho-Slov
aks stand forth so plainly that the
dullest '\\;'o;k"r’nen reads the handwit
ing*on the wall, Without grainfields
he understands there cannot be grain
And the promise of bread through
grain crusades made by armed forces
do not impress him when he rcalize;
that the porton of Russian remuiningj
within the jurisdiction of the soviet }
republic does not contain enough
grain to feed the republic’s population
2ven if every bushel were under gov
ernmen control and carefully dis
tributed. l

l FLYING DEVELOPMENT
. No other development in luman
”history has shown so remarkable re
;sults as has flying in the last ten
years, says Lord Montagu of Beau
‘lieu, a British scientist and aviation
expert.
«When the Wright brothers visit
ed Europe ten years ago, “he said,
“the airplane engines were of 24-hor
se power. Today they are of 750 horse
power in some cases, and the air
plane’s carrying capacity has increas
ed from about 126 pounds to 3 1-2
tons. S e
“Ten thousand feet was then the
highest flight. Today we are doing
26,000. And while forty miles as hour
was then the highest speed, today we
are approaching 160.
“The British army in France began
with only 36 planes. I may not give
the number today, but it is huge.”
Long flights-to and from America,
for instance-—would be possible after
the war, Lord Montagu said, adding
that he himself hoped some day to
LOOK OUT FOR YOUR COTTON SEED MEAL
Look out for your cotton seed meal for Spring fertilizer re
quirements! Whether you buy from us or not we advise you to
seeure your requirements at once. ’
. Ammoniates of every kind are going to be very hard to get.
The large fertilizer concerns are very anxious buyers-of cotton
seed meal, in fact, they are taking all that is offered them. Our
(fovernment has asked us to give our local customers an oppor- -
tunity to get their requirements locally, to avoid as far as possible
the double hauling and handling that necessarily has to be done -
where our local people fail to get their meal before it is all shipped
away. o :
It is our purpose to put you in possession of the faets, and
we trust yoir will avail yourself of the opportunity.
Our Covernment, in addition to asking us to give you a
chance to buy your meal locally, has asked us to finance ourselves
locally. To do this we will have to ship our produets as made.
We cannot secure sufficient funds to carry the stocks that we
have been in the habit of carrying, therefore, it will be unwise to
put off buying your meal.
We believe a word to the wise is sufficient.

. A soldier and His Wife
A young man in Tifton had been
married for several years when he
!registered in 1917. He was support
iing himself and his wife by his daily
labor. The local board put him in
Class 4, which released him from ser
vice. But he felt the call to the
front, volunteered, and his wife quit
keeping house and went to work for
wages to support herself while he
was away. He is now in France, ‘and
this week his wife bought a Liberty
Bond, which she will pay for out of
her - earnings. We mention this to
show that when you begin to do the
right thing it is easy to keep doing
more.—Tifton Gazette.
