Let Dublin Have School.
Cochran, which was awarded
the location for the Twelfth Dis
trict Agricultural and Mechanical
school in December, 1917, has
failed to fulfill its contract with
the state and Gov. Dorsey has
set March 19th as a new date in
which bids will be received for
the relocation of the school.
On Dec. 7, 1917, Cochran and
Dublin both had sites for the
school inspected by the trustees.
After these sites were inspected
by the governor and the trustees,
the school was awarded to Coch
ran. Cochran offered as her
strongest attraction, an old school
building, in fact so old and di
lapidated. that the governor is
said to have remarked at the time
that he was afraid to enter it for
inspection. It. has been known
for sometime that Cochran was
not doing anything toward carry
ing out the contract with the
state. It is said that little if any
of the $25,000 cash promised has
been raised, and very little work,
if any at all, has been done to
remodel the old school building
that was lauded as such an at
tractive portion of that town’s
bid.
Dublin, it is understood, will
submit another bid on March
19th, when the school is to be lo
cated again. It is said that the
town will submit a much more
attractive bid this time than the
one offered before.
The Progress feels that if it
submits a strong bid Dublin should
be awarded the school. Dublin
is well located, in the center of
the district, and would be a most
suitable location for the school.
At Dublin the school would be in
easy reach ot every county in the
Twelfth district. Dublin is able
to carry out any contract it sub
mits and we feel sure will make
good every agreement it enters
into with the state should the
trustees give it the school.
If Dublin submits a good bid
let it have the school. It is the
largest city in the district and its
geographical location makes it
the most suitable place at which
to locate the school. Lyons

On Verge Collapse
Prior to Surrender.
Berlin, Sunday, Eeb. 9. — Field
Marshal von Hindenburg, in urg
ing last November that the armis
tice terms of the Allies be accep
ted, admitted the German army
would otherwise be forced to
surrender, according to a state
ment made by Constantine Feh
renbach, vice president of the
national assembly at Weimar.
lierr Feredbach said he was
present November 10, at the
meeting in the chancellory at
which, after Dr. Sols, the foreign
secretary, read the terms of the
armistice, a telegram from Field
Marshal von Hindenburg, in
which the German commander
requested that the armistice
conditions be accepted forth
with, as he could not hold his
army together any longer. The
army was already deserting him,
the field marshal declared, and
if the Allied conditions were not
accepted he would be forced to
capitulate with his entire forces.

Serious Accident to
Judge Max L. Mcßae.
Judge Max L. Mcßae, happen
ed to a very serious accident
Tuesday morning about ten
o’clock when a pulley flew off
and struck him in the face, while
standing near a saw mill he owns
a mile or so below Lumber City.
Employees at the mill state a
governor belt broke and the en
gine speed was accelerated to
such a high rate that a wood pul
ley bursted, a piece of it striking
Judge Mcßae in the face, break
ing his jaw in two places and
otherwise bruising him up. So
great was the impact that Judge
Mcßae was hurled quite a dis
tance. However, he never lost
consciousness.
Accompanied by Mrs. Mcßae,
his son, Parker, and Dr. W. H,
Born, he was placed on a fas

Cotten Man A»k Aid Os Wilson
Macon. —The cotton producers of
Georgia have declared war to the
death on "cotton speculators, gam
blers, thieves and industries which
iiave conspired to run down the cot
ton market to where it is claimed the
price does not cover the cost of pro
duction.” Furthermore they have
Agreed to hold the 1918 crop for u
minimum of 35 cents a pound, reduce
the 1919 acreage 33 1-3 per cent and
,cut down the use of commercial fer
tilizers at least 33 1-3 per cent. This
was the decision reached at a confer
ence of 800 Georgia farmers, bankers,
merchants and others vitally affected
by the cotton market, held in Macon
at the call of J. J. Brown, state com
missioner of agriculture. They have
also gone on record as favoring fed
eral aid for cotton producers and more
rigid regulation of the New York and
New Orleans cotton exchanges, which
it was declared here have degenerated
into gambling machines. Furthermore,
the conference decided to appeal to
President Wilson to use his influence
for the lifting of the blockade against
Germany and her allies, in order that
some of the surplus cotton now held
in thiß country may be exported to
those countries, thereby creating a
market from which the Southern cot
ton producer has been cut off for the
last flve years.
