God for this. Today we had little

you are all doing SO too. Canon

that to die now in battle is to havo

NEW ROAD BEING
CONSTRUCTED

A good road. graded to standard
lis in course Of being constructed by
tie Lee county authorities that will
give Albany a practically straight
route to Philema, a distance Of A.
bout fifteen miles. A force Of con-
victs is now working in the vicinity
Of Beloit, on the Georgia South
western 4 Gulf railroad, the course
of which the road will follow for
the greater part Of the distance.
The road has been staked practical
ly all the way.
1t is understood that the road,
from Philema to the river, a dis
lance Of about two miles may be
extended, there to be connected by
ferry with road that Worth coun-
ty authorities have indicated their
willingness to put in good condition
The river would be crossed at the
present ferry, located just below
the railroad bridge. The two roads
connecting at this point would af-
ford practically a straight road all
the distance between Albany and
Cordele.
The first eight or ten miles OF
the r, adj, on the Albany end, is al
ready in good condition. When
completed the road will be a great
convenience and accommodation to
the people living along its course as
we'll as to a great deal Of automobile
travel between Albany and Cordele.

PROMINENT MITCHELL co.
MAN SLAIN BY HIS SON

T. ], Adams, prominent citizen
Of Mitchell county, is dead at his
home at Cotton as the result Of two
pistol shot wounds alleged to have
been fired by his son, Curthbert
Adams. The tragical homicide oc-
Cured Saturday afternoon and ac-
cording to the best available reports
occurred substantially as follows
Young Cuthbert Adams attended
an all day singing at Harmony and
his father was there, too. Shortly
after the noon hour the older man
decided to carry his son home be-
cause of his alleged intoxicated con-
dition and his disorderly behavior.
At first Cuthbert Adams is said to
have refuse to go home, but finally
agreed TO accompany his father and
the two started. After they had
gone a short distance the young
man leaped out Of the buggy with
the announced intention of. going
no further. Mr.. Adams then jump
ed out of the vehicle, caught his son
and is said to have given him a
sound thrashlng with the buggy
whip. The trip was then resumed.
On arriving home Mr.. Adams be-
gan unhitching his horse. 1t is re-
ported that Cuthbert then reeled
out of the vehicle. pulled out his
pistol and opened fire at a dog that
came running out of the yard. For
this act his father is said to have
reprimanded. The youth then
turned the smoking weapon upon
his father, pulling the trigger twice
in rapid succession. The old man
fell heavily to the ground, MORALLY
wounded, death ensuing a short
time later.
Cuthbert Adams was arrested a
few minutes later and is now in Jail
n Camilla.

CONGRESSMAN CRISP
OFFERS NICE PRIZES

Judge Chas. r. Crisp, u. s. con-
gresham for the Third district Of
Georgia, has instructed @. v. Gun
ningham, district agent Of the In
| tied States department Of agrlcul-
tnre, to announce that he will give
two scholarships for the short term
course in agriculture at the State
University. These two scholar
ships will be awarded to the win
ners in the boys corn club Of the
district.
Congressman Crisp is interested
in the development of South Geor-
gia and especially the Third dis
trict. He hopes that these two
prizes will not only stimulate in
terest in the corn club and canning
club work, but will also result in
good to the winners.
The short term Of the State Col
lege Of Agriculture is recognized as
one of tile best courses offered by
the State University. Every year
hundreds of men and women Of the
state avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to attend and equip them
selves for scientific farming.
That this offer of Congressman
Crisp will stimulate interest among
the boys and girls Of the district is
the belief Of Mr.. Cunningham
head of the corn and canning
clubs. Mr., Cunningham has adj
dressed the following letter to the
members Of the clubs and notified
them to get busy and win the prizes
offered by Judge Crisp

Who Pays Taxes
To Keep This
Town Going?

w HEN a new bridge is
needed, a road must
be repaired, a courthouse is
to built, where does the
money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it2
Hardly. They will not even
send a contribution to help
buy a bell for the new chur-
CHI or to help a Fourth of
July celebration. They pay
no taxes in this town, and
they are not concerned in
its prosperity.
This town must be sup
ported by its residents and
those who live in the i'm
mediate vicinity. If they
insist on sending their
money away then they are
helping to kin their town,
and they are making it
harder for them to ray the
taxes necessary to maintain
local government and to
make local Improvements.
You owe something to
yourself, and you owe some
thing to your neighbors.
You can help yourself by
helping your neighbors.
You can't injure your nei-
ghbors without iniuring
yourself. When you send
money to mail order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and your
self.
SPEND YOUR MONEY
WHERE YOU MAKE IT.

Items from
Central Settlement

Well, I took in the big Confed-
crate reunion at Richmond and
came very near freezing to death.
There was a cold rain for three
days, and overcoats were as COM
mon as down in this country in
mid-winter. 1t was probably the
biggest reanion ever held despite
the nasty weather. A lady here
asked me if / saw Bro. Hines.
After arriving in Richmond / never
saw again some friends who went
on the same train with me, /
might have seen him but not know
him.
Speaking about cotton blossoms,
they are so common here that they
do not cause comment.
Crops are looking we'll where
they have been worked. Lack OF
sufficient labor has put Few FAR
mers in the neiehborhood in bad
shape, but they all hope to work
out, Some cotton has not yet been
chopped and is dying from wilt
and rust.
When you find farmers in a COM
munity ready and willing to assist
their neighbors you will find a pros.
porous community. No man liveth
unite himself.
The man who runs the threshing
outfit can get some business down
in our section.
Mrs. Veal is the champion black
berry pie maker in this section,
She can cook them to the queens
taste.
Ralph Ray, now on the Albany
police force, formerly of this coun-
ty, was recently married to Miss
Ethel Barber of our community.
Friends extend congratulations.
She is charming young woman.
Mr.. Campbell lost a mule. Sew
eral farmers have had hard luck
along this line in our section this
year.
Lack of labor is a great draw
back to successful farming. 1t is
utterly worthless and unreliable in
the Central section.
1t is 50 nice to have good, kind
neighbors, especially when a fellow
is sick and all down and out.
Fish don't bite much these days.
Everybody who goes has poor luck.
