OFFICIAL ORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
PPt et e et
Judge Walter George gave every
one of his friends an hour of pleasure
in his address at the court house for
the soldiers yesterday. It was one of
his best.
People of this section of the state
want an opportunity tg vote op the
m]’liol removal question. Nobody
wants to make it a fight between
Georgia cities, but this section would
like to have the captial more nearly
in the center of the state,

The Toledo celebration of the
Fourth wound up in a bloody three
round battle between two human
brutes who did not even give the
crowds a first-class exhibition of
boxing. It looked like a sell-out. The
beaten champion had to perform in a
different manner when he beat llm‘
negro pugilist. It is hard to believe h(-‘
could not have done better on this
occasion. - : l

Our tobacco growers are gvlling‘

The best of the growers belive llu-l
crop is this year fully ninety p:-r(-vnl!

Crisp county growers are still smml-g

and most of them at promised wm(l!

THAT DANCE AGAIN
Those who protested against the
street dance for the night of the
Fourth did not want it to appear that
they portested in the name of the
church. There is a proverbially wide
chasm between the church and the
dance and as institutions they have
not traveled together for any great
length of time anvwhere, so far as we
know.
So, to say the church folks portest
ed only adds to the estrangement. 1t
would be better to say that the pro
test came from persons who wanted
it to appear as a protest of citizens.
There was no idea of making it a
church portest. Those who wanted (o
block the dance had no idea ot
apologizing for their stand. They did
not want any dance and went out to
get it stopped.
-But they likewise are not bad tolks,
and do not want anybody to think
that way ‘@bout it. They get their re
quest with ease. nor did they have to
make any pronounced fight. Ther
was none and sp there is little left o 1
the incident to cause anybody any
concern. i
It may be said that all of them en
joved the day and a band concert
took the place of lh(: dance. This was
4 diversion all the people could en
joy and they did enjoy it to their full
est satisfaction. This was the happv

WHY THIS STRIKE FAILED
With organized labor the failure of
any strike at this critical period has
a meaning. The political liberty of
millions .of people throughout the
‘world has been won in the great war,
Ybut economic liberty is yet insolved.
I’l‘here is a struggle bhetween capital
innd labor the end of which no per-
Tsmn con foresee, Souring food prices
jmul soaring wages only add to the
fmry. It it does not stop somewhere,
and that very soon ,we may look for
greater unrest, greater strife, war
again in another direction,
The telegraphers have lost their
strike hefore they even started, The
employees of the wire lines had more
faith in those who had charge of their
sources of pay than ‘they had in the
union. The union had not been given
time to grow in strength to where it
would stand in a critical period. It
conld not bhe called a union in reality,
Its officers were unwise enough lu;
helieve they were all powerful at a
time when they should have been nt‘
least willing to proceed with more
deliberation. They needed more
vindication of the rights of tele
graphers through a strike before n
strike could hold the wire employees
away from the keys.
The eagerness of the leaders to
display union strength brought pre
mature effort to show that strength.
There was no grievance half so im
portant as their desirve to “go to war”
They went unprepared, were withont
the kind of cause that carrvies the
support of the public, and evén wmr;
out the support of the memhers of Ihv}
union. :
Of this strike Postmaster (:mwr:nl‘
BBudleson makes the following vum-‘
ment: |
“The truth is there has been no I
gtrike. It failed the moment it
wis called, hecause the oparators, ‘
respecting the broad policy of the
wire control hoard relative to em
ployes, and recognizing that
strikes were not permissible dur
ing the pr-rim'! of governmental
control, refused to r(‘xpu(‘l_(llw. |
order to strike, This attempt at a
strike thoroughly justifies *tho }
Postmaster General in his attitude
assumed at the beginning of gov
ernmental control, that all em
ployes were to be treated with
absolute justice and fairness, re
gardless of whether they did or
did not helong to labor organiza
tions and that no discrimination |
was to he practiced against those l
wha belonged to such organiza
tions, and that they would be fully i
protected in their right so to do.”
resepeting the broad policy of the
people in very excellent manner. |
A GREAT FOURTH
The people of Cordele were hosts
yvesterday to some three . thousand
people in the kind of memor that well
For yesterday's effort the community
has a good name today,—it has a
more general grasp op its neighbors
for the abundant manifestation of
hospitality and good will. We had
visitors from other counties who were
happily surprised, for they found en
tertainment and a good dinner.
Crisp county from one end to the
other had citizens taking part in the
many features with an assurance that
it was intended for everybody. The
country dinner that so many said was
an impossiblity was there and it was
served ip the best of style. ;
The Cordele Board of Trade has
much to appreciate in the general of~§
tort to make the day a success. 'l‘lwrv‘
were hundreds of people helping. ’l‘hvi
few men who were called int‘o e:er»l
vice went with good spirit and a (h\-?
termination to do all they could w%
take care of everybody at every ()v-i
vasion. They did their work without
hesitation. ’
Many of the leading farmers were
mainstays. They gave to their din
ner and the barbecuve with splvndidi
liberality. But for their loyalty mi
their community, their county, and !
their returning soldiers boys, mis:
Fourth could never hazve meant sn‘
much to all of Crisp county. It was :A!
fine occasion. Every visitor had to say |
it, because he felt it. i
" To all of us the day was l'mugm:
with meaning. The business nr_a::miz:x—?
tign which planned the occasion n«-wr“
-juuld have Loped for a better onge, AllL
ot the ‘mémbers off thét holly hlibe
cause to be happy © for they really
wanted the whole county to enjoy the
day. 1t was a great Fourth.
HARD WATER BATTLE
A MOST EXCITING OCCASION
WHEN STREAMS PLAYED. ..
Six picked soldiers cleaned up in
great style with the Cordele fire de
}pm'!mum in a water battle near the
ll.i(-nir- grounds yesterday soon after
‘the dinner was over. This was a part
;or the day’s entertainment provided
by Dr. Kendall and it proved a most
interesting incident,
Algiec Thompson headed the sol
dier's team. George Bussojy Cliff
Peterson, Winman Sheppard. Joe Wil
liumson and Charlie Hunt backed him
up. These were men went “over the
top” once more when the word was
given and there was a water battlo
that for interest had all Toledo and
the championship fight beaten a long
way. To say the soldiers won it. is to
put it mildly. They cleaned up in
great style,
The city fireman, once they lost
their places, got on the earth and were
litterally washed away with the
stream the soldiers sent at them.
One man, knocked to the ground,
was kept going . for some distance
while the stream was on him.
But the fireman put up a fight
themselves. It could not have been in
teresting but for that. They knew
where to drive a stream and could
place it. When they got the soldiers’
“range”, that team of six men took
an awful punishment. The e¢ity fore
men held mercilessly. Only grit and
endurance could win and that was
with the soldier boys. Chief Thomp
son, Red. Lewis, Lee Willis, Charles
Bowen, M. P. Howard, and Leonard
Lewis, made up the city fire team in‘
