THE NORTH SEA FIGHT
Says the Atlanta Journal:
Though the German fleet has held mainly to the doctrine that
the better part of valor is discretion, its recent blow against the
British in the North Sea proves that it lacks neither prowess nor
strength. London admits a loss of sixteen ships, including five first
line, and while adding that the damage to the enemy was serious it
does-not go into dethils. Apparently, in the greatest naval engage
ment ofsthe War the Germans have borne off a brilliant and substan
tial victory.
There has been much speculation as to whether the Kaiser's
fleet would venture from its fastness and make a desperate throw
with fortune. The odds to be faced would be almost overwhelming
in a straightout fight, but as a last resort the adventure might be
considered worth while if it offered any chance whatsoever. The
heaviest pressure agamst the Central Empires is that which is ex
erted by the British fleet, and so long as that remaids unshaken the
Teutons scarcely can hope to escape ultimate defeat, however well
they may fight on land. As the food problem deepens and hopes of
crushing French resistance fade, the clutch of Britain’s sea power
will become more and more decisive.
Hence the peculiar importance, from the German standpoint, of
breaking that strangle hold; and the supreme importance to the Al
lies of maintaing ‘it. A few more ‘victories like that in the recent
dght would go far toward reducing the odds against the German
fleet. \While details are lacking, it seems evident that the British
were’ taken unawares. The London statement speaks of the Ger
man squadron as “being aftled by low visibility” and as retiring “as
soodl as our main forces appeared.” It is upon sharp, sudden strokes
of the kind that Germany musgt depend if she is to wear the enemy
down. \Vhether she will be able to repeat this advemture is ques
tionable but, at, least, she has shown what is possble.
SHOWING MISSOURI
Frométhe Atlanta Constitution:
It is'c\'idcnt from an extract which The Kansas City Times re
produces from The Boston Transcript that the fine old state of Mis
souri needs to be “shown” as to the time and money-saving walue of
good road-making.
This, from an account of “a record-breaking motor car run from
L.os Angeles ® New York,” tells the story:
. Our best day’s run was 567 miles. We would have av
craged over five hundred miles a day if it hatln’t been for the
bad roads we struck in Missouri, from Kansas City to St.
Louis. It took us eighteen hours to drive that distance,’
about three miles, and it was rain and mud all the way. It :
took two hours to do ten miles, and at one place I pulled oug
into the field around five autes stuck in the road.
~ Our Kansas City contgmporary says this is “fine free advertis
ing for Missouri!” and asks if it is calculated to draw toutists to that
section? It says that the main thing, however, “is that these mud
roads are what the farmers have to do their hauling over every time
it rains.”
® But that sort of advertising will certainly help; for while the
people may wince at it, state and country pride may be touched to
good purposes, with the result of better work for travelable roads.
Recently a Texas paper told what united effort in road work
had done for different counties in that state, where the people had
come to see that good roads are the real town-builders, since they
bring business to the towns. It may be said that they MAKE
business.
Nothing advertises a state like its highways—for good or bad
business. They are an index to the enterprise and general progres
siveness of its people.
el el S EASY FARMING
Coffee County Progress:
A North Georgia man, passing through this section last week,
made the statement that if corn, cotton and other crops were as far
advanced and had as good stands in the northern portion of the state
as they have in this section, people there would feel themselves inde
pendently rich. Those who have been complaining of drouth had
better be thankful that after all they are very well off, with their
crops up and growing.
. Excellent farming is done in North Georgia, but it is a known
fact that the farmer there has to hustle several times as much as the
farmer of this section to make his output. Should the South Geor
gia farmer put forth the energy of his up-state friend, his income
would be manifold. As it is, so easy do some South Georgians farm,
until they become more or less careless and do not make the crops
possible. Instances have been known of farmers from the hills mov
ing to this section, who for the first two or three years worked with
their usual diligence, reaping large harvests and profits, but after a
short sojourn, become embibed with the spirit of the native, coming
to appreciate the ease of making a living.
We do not mean the farmers here are shiftless, but we do mean
« great many of them do not gather near the crops they could and
should.
‘Be easy farming as it may, farmers all over the state of Georgia
are using scientific methods more and more and diversification is be
ing employed with far greater success. Georgia’s excellent land is
;ajc;fplying much to the world and especially tracts in South Georgia
ghfie natural qualifications to supply many. times more per acre. |
THE LEADER ENTERP RISE AND PRESS, MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1916.
H. W. Miller Didn’t Have Use
of Right Arm for Years—Gains
13 Pounds on Tanlac.
“I am 70 years old and hadn’t
been able to strike a iick of work
for over 14 years until I got to
taking this Tanlac medicine,”
said Mr. H. W. Miller, at Jacobs’
Pharmacy, Saturday.
. “Fourteen years ago I had a
terrible spell of typhoid fever, and
isincc that time I hadn’t been able
to use my right arm to do any
good. It felt weak and numb and
I had no strength in it, but I had
no idea I would ever be able to
use it again.
“I bought # for kidney trouble,
rheurhatism and pains in my back.
Well, it relieved me of these trou
ble alright, but strange to say,‘
it helped my arm, too. Yes, sir,
it has actually made my arm so
much better that I can now do a
lot of work—something I hadn’t
been able to do in all these yearg.
[ don’t know how to account for
it, but that’s what actually hap
pened, and all my neighbors who
have known me for years will tell
you the same thing. r‘
“Going back to my other:
trouble, I suffered a great deal
from my back and joints, and was
so-nervous all the time I couldn’t
sleep much. Sometimes I would
get so nervous and strung-up that
the least noise would almost
make me jump out of bed befere
I could control myself.
“My stomach was all out of
shape, too, and 1 couldn’t eat to
do any good. Nothling seemed to
taste right,"and I got se finally I
would have vomiting spells after
trying to eat. To tell you the
truth, T was in a mighty bad fix
and was just getting weaker and
weaker all the time. ‘I don’t feel
that way now, and after taking
only three bottles of this Tanlac,
I have gained 13 pounds in
weight, besides thy stomach feels
just like I had a mew one put in,
and I eat and sleep just like a
school boy. The rheumatic pains
are all gone, and I am feeling bet
ter and stronger every way.
“It has helped my wife, too.
She is now on her second bottle,
and it is doing her more good
than anything she has tried in
years. She was in almost as bad
a fix as I was and it has relieved
her of ailments she has had for a
long time. Both of us think there
is nothing too good to say about
Tanlac, and T can understand why
everybody is talking about it.”

Stewart F. Gelders, Editor
MR. G. H. COCHRAN
G. H. Cochran, better known'
as Skipper, arrived last night in
the city from Bowman, Ga.,
where he has been coaching the
Gibson-Mercer Prep school teams
in all branches of athletics. The
Gibson-Mercer teams, under his
guidance, have made a very good
name for themselves this last
vear and testify to Mr. Cochran’s
ability. -
G. H. Cochran entered Mercer
University in the fall of 1911 and
very shortly earned his place on
the football team. He played
‘hatf-back all three years he was
at school and covered himself and
his team mates with glory every
game. He also starred on the
basket ball teams all three sea
sons, being one of the fastest men
seen on the Mercer court. He
also made a name for himself on.
the track team, winning many
points for his almg mater at every
meet.
But peerless as he aas in all
these branches of sport, the work
he accomplished i them shrinks
to imsignificance when compared
with his playing on the diamond.
As a baseball player he simply
can not be eqmaled, much less
surpassed. In the field he is as
fast as Tris Speaker, at bat he is
to be feared by opposing pitch
efs as that inimitable exponent
of the grand old game. Cochran’s
leadership in all branches of
}sport and his captaincy of many
teams, has earned him the title
of “Skipper,” and a good skipper
he is. We all remembper the in
vincible march of the Cochran
club which cleaned up everything
in South Georgia last year.
It is is usually the custom for
every club in a league to have a
pet or nickname of some sort
and this a very commendable
practice. The name should be
token something which sets the
city or team apart from the gen
eral run. Fitzgerald has many,
many distinguishing characteris
tics but one which may not be
duplicated by any of her three
colleagues in the “Big Four” lea
gue, that is the fact that Fitz
gerald is a “Colony City,” or in
other words, founded as a colony
for colonists and to colonize this
section. Considering this fact it
would be entirely appropriate to
call the Fitzgerald club the Col
onists. Any suggestion for a
nickname will be gratefully ac
cepted.
A very epcouraging sign con
cerning the way the Fitz club
ranks in the league is that while
Fitzgerald shut out Rochelle 8 to
0, Cordele had to work hard to
beat that club 5 to 4, and the Cor
dele Dispatch frankly admits that
those four runs by the Rochellites
were due mainly to errors.
Fitzgerald rooters, lets make
our home club win this series
three straight games. The team
can do it if they are supported
sufficiently in the grand stand
and bleachers. It is a cinch
that they will try hard enough
anyway.
ROCHELLE SHUT OUT
Friday afternoon, at Rochelle,
the local bunch for the fourth
time decisively defeated the Ro
chelle team. The final score was
Bto 0. It was so easy it was a
shame. The Fitzgerald boys
played a beautiful game all the
way through. Lassater, our new
hurler from Dalton, pitched the
first six innings and allowed two
hits. He fanned six out of the
first nine to face him and eight
during his six innings on the
‘mound. Stewart went in for a
little practice the next three in
‘nings and let the home team have
three small hits, to give the out
field a chance to exercise. Both
Lassater and;Stewart made one:
hit out of two chances. |
- Mize featured on the bases as
usual. Barnett’s perfect peg from
‘deep left spoiled the only chance
the Rochelle club had to score.
The splendid team work of the
whole club was well worth notic
ing, also. |

art 2. _ &
While we had a fine opening
day attendance this afternoon,l
Cordele is going to work mighty\
hard to get a better one Thurs
day. The Mayor of Cordele has
declared a half-holiday that day
to give every one in that city a
chance to go to the game. The
race for the attendance trophy is
pretty sure to lie between that
city and our home town.
l Lassater made good against
Rochelle alright. We may now
boast of the two tallest hurlers
'in the league, Lassater and Stew
lart. Each measures better than
six feet.
This afternoon the first gme of
the season is being played. A
record crowd is there to watch
the best team, that means Fitz
gerald, of course,” win. If the lo
cals win this game it is a prophe
isy o a brilliantly suecessful sea-
