Two armies met in mortal stiife
‘Twas blood for blood. and life for llfe
Each fought 1o win and win the field
Sesolved to dis, but not to yield.
The northern soldier wore the blue
The color representing true
The southern boys were clad in grey
And sough. like fiends to winthe nay
The tlags were fhittering in she air
Eech had their colors bright and fair
The yankees had their stripes and stars
The southern boys theit stars and bars.
Olustee near the Geean pond
Was mads a bloody battle ground
Men lost their btood: their limbs
their lives
Widows were made of soldicrs’ wives:
The yankees put to bear the brunt
" A colored regiment in the front
Lhe grey boys raisee the rebel yell
They shot to kill and negroes.feil
While some were falling other run
A general stampede was begun
Some tried to cross the ocear. poud,
When ‘some were shot and otherg
drowned,
The battle ceased, the men in blue
Had met their fearful waterloo
The boys in uniform of grey |
Had keld the field and won the day.

HURSEY ON CO'OPERATION
TIMELY FOPIC DISCUSSED.
- Cooperative marketing is mar
keting collectively and may. be
carried on by two or more pen
sons. It is spoken of as a coms
pany when orgamized for specus
lation but when the common s,
of the term or name is used" we
mean a bunch of farmers or grow=.
ers organize tnemselves‘ into
Marketing Association for the
purpose of selling their owmn pro=s
ducts. ; g g™
- Thus far cooperative marketi 2
of farm products is the only way:
’worked out that gives the farmer
a fair price for his produce. i
have aided in the organizations
and I find that two serious objecs
tions arise in every case.. The
first Jobjection] should not exist;.
that trouble arises from likes aad"
dishikes of tlie various men in the
organization. You often hear
such remaiks as, he is a crook, he
is lazy, he never has done any
thine and jthousands of other
familiar terms. Now farmers, a
babe learns to walk by walking
and our only chance to operate
in marketing is to codperme and
by so doing catch thethieves t 'M?
replace the lazy with"ifiduq@oli
men or women. Thereare buth
few of us who have al,y(as# oed:
theftithlues ot get us very far to
e picking .;:? ‘the mote. in oun,
ed by a larger one. In my past
experiences I have fouod that
these litile objections eleminate
themselves in a very short time
They exist hecause we dc not
know the cther fellow and base
our opinion on hear say, There
are lots of honest people in the
world.
The second objection arises
from a lack of knowledge in fitting
our produce for the market and
the quantity it takes to pack a
basket instead of fill it. The
rules of grading are changed to
fit every buyer; some are wanting
one kind of a product and another
Waycross Zone Missionaries

Radio Burglar Alarm Gcng
Installed for Citizen Bank
An alarm that almost sets itself
o geing is the latest achievement‘
in burglar prevention. It is said
an outside electrical gong starts
going at & mere movement of one
wanting to start it, and that raiding
a vault is almost an impossibility
as it it a radio-sound system.
The Citizens Bank, already one‘
of the safest and soundest banks‘
will shortly install this system and
make it absolutely safe from such
source of loss.
Progress has baen rapid of laie
in the safe guarding from robbery
they having quit the uight work
for the “hold up” game, and this
invention merely means that gun
play is assured before any one
could possible rob this bank and
\uet away. The preliminary part
of safety is already for such an
emergency, sawed-off gnuns and
pistols having beeu placed for the
minute-men’s use.

Comments About Charter
Says Let 'em Vote on It
The Waycross correspondent of
the Savannah News has this to
say of our neighbor, St. George.
St. George, in Charlton county.
probably is the only town in Geor
gia bobsting a school system a live
Chamber of Commerce and other
civic groups. and a well defined
‘town territory, and yet is unincor
porated, The St George Chamber
of Commerce is a member of the
iSout.heast Georgia Co-operative
Association, and the citizens of St,
George are vitally interested in the
Shutheast Georgia development
program but they livein a town
that lasn’t even a charter,
Several years ago, because of a
bitter local fight, the legislature
act greeted a charter 1o the town of
St. George was repealed, despite
|the fact that the town is growing
and prosering. A movement has
been started to ask the next Geor
gia legislature to incorporate the
town under a new act,
o
Mr. J. C. Boughner was in to see
us Monday, and remarked anent
the discussion of rechartering St.
George, that some the people are
in favor of it on a basis of a popu
lar vote in revstnbllshinu"u. This
is nothing tut fair, as Mr, Bougher
says that the charter was killed by
a petition of the majority of the
citizens and Its resurrection should
be by & majority demand,

perhaps the use of Whit Banks in
