Rain CAME none
TOO SOON TO HELP
SHOWERS LAID DUST IN STREETS
AND ON HIGHWAYS AND MADE
LATE GARDENS LOOK WELL.

Georgia is a dry" state and has
been since May 1. But the prohibition
law is not the only thing that has been
responsible for the drought in south
Georgia during the past few months.
A fairly heavy rain Thursday morning
was the only evidence that ]. Pluvius
has given within more than two
months that he hadn't become reg
ular tight wad" and wasn't doing his
duty at all But the farmers especial
ly and everybody in general will for
give the past experience for Old Plu-
vius' squirt of liberality. The rain was
a source of real rejoicing.
Many of the wells throughout the
county and section have gone COM
pletely dry on account of the strenu-
GUS drought, and the water has gotten
so low in others that the bucket
wouldn't sink The recent rain will
probably not help matters much so
far as the wells are concerned, but
several like it will.

GIRL SODA JERkERS
JUST AS CAPABLE AS MEN

Atlanta, Noe. 25-Another step has
been taken in Georgian feminist move
ment based on the idea that women
are just as capable as men, and some
times more so, to engage in the bus
mess and professional occupations
once regarded as belonging strictly
to the other sex.
Atlanta now has girl soda water
jerkers, who have taken the place
of men at a number of downtown
stands and who are possibly the first
in the United States outside the wo-
mems department stores of the large
eastern cities.
About two years ago some local
theatres tried out the plan of having
girl ushers in uniforms, and the plan
worked with Indifferent success, sue
ceeding in some places and failing in
others, so that the new experiment is
being watched with keen interest.

MEN
SHAKEN Up
BY GRAND
JURY
EFFORT WAS MADE TO lNDlCT
FOR OPERATING PLACES ON
SUNDAY. SOLEMN AGREEMENT
is ENTERED.

The grand jury is on with the lid
tight and hard. The past has been
one of momentous Importance to the
drug stores, the garages, the gas fill
ing stations, the restaurants, fruit
stands and cigar counters, for the last
one of them came ear,-dangerously
near-being indicted for violations of
the Sunday laws. There was a mo-
ton to indict and it was being pressed,
hard and furiously, in the grand jury
room until those who would give a
man a fair showing first saw that it
was becoming serious thing.
The proposition Of one member OF
the body was to send out committee
to advise with the drug stores, the
garages, the restaurants, lunch coun-
tiers, cigar and fruit stands and re-
quest them not to hold open the places
of business longer on Sunday. AS it
has leaked" on the outside, those who
wanted to make the request first had
lively time of it, but won their way
and a committee was sent to see the
said Sunday offenders.
The mission of this committee was
pleasant, so far is dealing with the
places of business was concerned, for
there was not man who objected to
giving a clear and straightforward
promise to close up on Sunday. Most
of them wanted to quit, but were hang
ing on because the other dealer held
on. All the dealers said they simply
tried to do only accommodation work
on Sundty,-The kind that serves to
make a good name for the town with
strangers and visitors who drop in
not looking for "closed town"
The grand jury committee went
back and reported that everybody had
promised to be good and this settled
the determination to indict. But the
business community was shaken to its
foundation and some of the strangers
from sunny Italy who sell fruits on
Sunday were scared out of their wits.
The committee of the grand jury was
pleasing and obliging in the perform
ance of it's duty and great deal OF
excitement was thus allayed.
The battle for an open town inside
the grand jury room made the blue
smoke fly. Attention was called to
the fact that not town OF any size
in Georgia puts out the fires and goes
home to sleep all Sunday. "a dead
town" in reality is what some mem
hers of the body thought Cordele
would be dubbed by those who are in
the habit of coming here Sunday for
an auto ride, and by those who pass
through here looking for their Sun
day refreshments. The fight was be-
coming a warm one when the sugges-
ton was made that the alleged VIC
lators be given a fair, fighting show
| ing.
And the lid is on for at least little
while, tight and hard.

THIEF GOT AWAY WITH
SHADES FORD AUTO

An unknown thief or thieves stole
a Ford automobile belonging to S. A.
Slade. travelling representative for
Pridgen Brothers, from in front of his
home early Thursday morning. Mr..
Slade heard the noise from the ma
chine as it was driven off, but thought
at the time that it was passing ma
chine.
Slade got tip to the effect that the
thief or thieves had probably gone in
the direction of Valdosta with his ma
chine, and securing another car, he
and a party of friends gave chase. At
yaldosta he secured information which
led him to believe that he was close
on their trail. A garage owner told
Slade that car filling the description
had stopped at his place, and that the
OCCUPANTS had cotton out of the city
about two hours before. However, the
pursuers have as yet been unable to
affect a capture Of the thief or thieves
or learn the whereabouts of the car,

PRESENT SYSTEM BLAMED
EOR MOST OE PROBLEMS

Washington, Nov. 24.-The present
system of corrective" regulation be-
tween state and federal governments
was blamed for most of the problems
troubling the public and the railroads,
said Alfred P Thorn, counsel for the
railways executive advisory commit
tee at the hearing today before the
joint congressional investigation COM
mittee.
Political rather than business con-
siderations largely control railway
business, he said This. he declared,
made the railroad credit so poor and
returns so small they cannot extend
lines and enlarge facilities. Increased
transportation facilities would tend
to reduce the cost Of living. he said.
