POLITICS RUN THUSLY.

A good citizen of Cordele, a citizen
away above the average, a man who
has scores of friends in all walks of
life, has a brother running for the Of
flee of state treasurer. This citizens
of Cordele is M. M. Fakes. with great
faithfulness he is turning everything
for his brothers election. Believing
thats his friends at home will remem.
1 Der him and help, he has gone to
where the struggle is greater and is
working night and day to win. And
the voters of Georgia will have to
decide Tuesday as between the pres
ent state treasurer, William J. Spee1
and William ]. Fakes. In this coun
ty this fight will carry special interest
because of the fact that M. M. Fakes
is q man who counts his friends as
! the entire citizenship.
Leonard NJ Fem, also COrdelt
citizen with a wide circle of friends
= is connected with the state treas
urer's office and is therefore doubly
anxious to carry his home county for
Mr.. Speer. Reference is made to Mr.
Fem elsewhere in this page.
Many a citizen of Crisp will have
to vote for one or the other of the
two candidates for this office
knowing that there are two
local citizens turning everywhere OF
earth to win the county. Once in
great willie politics run thusly.

MISSING SOMETHING.

Now is the best time in the world
to investigate what Cordele is losing
as a commercial center in not having
bridge across Flint river TO connect
up with the territory bordering on the
other side. There is not business
man in the city who will deny the
fact that at least 25 per cent of the
cotton trade that could be centered
here goes to Americas and Albany
because it cannot come over the river.
This condition of affairs cannot be
changed with simple trust in the pos
sibility of a way out of it through the
other fellows efforts. The business
men Of Cordele are not going to enjoy
this trade until the business men OF
Cordele make plans for a bridge. The
tax payers of Crisp county will join
in any reasonable plan to get bridge
for they want it. Citizens on the
large farms the other side of the river
will also join in any reasonable plan
to get the bridge.
But no tight wad" business man
will be able to enjoy this trade until
said tight wad" has helped to get
the bridge. This duty falls more heav
lily on the shoulders of the business
men of Cordele than on others. II
is not coming till Cordele leads the
way. And Cordele consists of its
own business men,-nobody else, com
mercially speaking.
1t is strange, strange, indeed, that
The business community has slept by
this opportunity to grow so many
years, and is still sleeping when the
tlllnS COud pc accomplished Will Du'
little effort. In the meantime the
territory over the river becomes rich
er. More people come in and devoloT
farms and carry their trade away tc,
Americus and Albany. Our business
helps swell the dividends for the mer
chants and bankers of those two
towns.
They couldn't get doller's worth O.
he trade along the Flint river near
est Cordele for ten miles if we had
bridge for the people to come over
Fully sixty square miles of farming
erritory over there belongs to Cor
lele. 1t is worth ten times today
what it was ten years ago How long
ire we going to throw it away?

OF course, even a good thing can be
overdone. Valdosta has a new county

ton Saturday night; it was case o.
plain drunk and disroderly, and Sun
day morning bond was duly assessed
and given and the man released, He
walked out, looked around at the bal
ance Of the town in dazed condition
and went back to jail. Just how to
break the man of his fondneSS for the
new building is puzzling the officers
Perhaps it may be necessary to blind
fold, carry him out of town so far that
he loses his sense of direction, and
drop him off Ought not to make
jails quite so attractive. that way, it

TELL UNCLE NAT WE ARE WITH
HIM."

Tucked away inconspiciously and to.
ward the end of a newspaper accoun
If Governor Harris speech at MONT.
;ello were these two paragraphs:
Governor Harris dwelt but
lightly upon the fact that he is a
Confederate Veteran and probably
the last soldier of the sixties
whom Georgia will be asked to
vote for for a high office. But he
reproached his opponents for try
ing to take away from him his sec
ond term, which every governor
since the war had been given as
an endorsement by the people.
"They say they love me and
honor me and have no criticism to
make of me-" he said "but they
are trying to GUST me from Office
with the cross of honor on by
breast and a stain upon my brow
such as no other Governor has
ever worn"
"Think it over, Georeians!"
Without saying aught against the
lther candidates, let us add that we
rave thought it over If we never
make worse mistake with our right
If the ballot than when we use il
leXt Tuesday in an effort to help re
,lect Governor Harris, we will be able
o say when it is all over that we have
)een true to our state. The claims
Vt others to the office which Governor
Iarris occupies, and has a right to by
,rcCedent of half "A century, are not
impressed upon us in any sort of way
hat would justify our faltering when
comes time to register our choice.
The claims of other candidates can
rot by any process of reasoning out
weigh those of Governor Harris. His
ecord is more than satisfactory. The
people usually do not permit a candi-
late to offer until governor has
;erved his second term. His sticking
the wishes of the people of the
tate in the matter of passing pro
libition legislation is what brought
he fight on Governor Harris and
since Governor Harris gave the peO-
Ne what they have sought for years,
lie is entitled to their approval for a
iecond term.
In Crisp county those who would
,elp should make it clear to every
otter that it is matter of sticking to
Harris or losing to a less deserving
candidate. This county for Harris
will help to make his governor again
md it will take the ballots TO carry
he county for him. There is enough
If principle in the contest for the cit

Reflected Dissertations
BY MAX {. LAND.

The clouds have somewhat rolled
away and things are looking brighter
since the strike has been averted.
With cotton, the near sole dependence
for money in south, bringing around
sixteen cents there is no reason why
there should not be life and hope in
the minds of all those who wish to get
along, pay their debts, support their
families and have a little ,over for
many demands 1t did seem for while
that the great railroad strike was
going to duplicate, only more so, the
horrible fall Of 1914 when the Euro
pean war struck bread from the hands
of thousands in the south.
AS to the threatened strike, it was
to the best interest Of the country
that it was settled almost in any way
to keep the country from going to
destruction just at this time, whine
the south has not fully recovered
from the blow of 1914, and doubtless
the strike would have been ruination
in full. The price paid by the Pres
ident and congress, however, was a
fearful price to pay-not in the ques-
ton of the eight hour law, which may
be all right, but in the sacrifice and
surrender of the great principle of
arbitration. This question of arbi-
tration is long established principle
and is the foundation of our courts
and whenever any organization, what
ever it may be, adopts a plant and
says our demands must be satisfied,
because we say so, and that there is
no other side because we say so,
whether there is in fact or not, and
not willing for others, who are not
interested to arb..fate the difference,
then anarchy has certainly taken a
step forward. We should all be in ia
vor of right principel, all the time, on
any question, making no difference as
to rich or poor, Influential or obscure,
and the vital principles of the govern
nlent should not be torn down to favor
any class or condition.
