LESSONS THAT COUNT.

Necessity often puts us to extreme
straits, but the experiences, the hard
bumps, sometimes brings us returns
from an unexpected source The farm
ers who never dreamed of the posi-
bility of getting through crop with
out spending half it's worth in CONNER
cial fertilizer have been taught a les
son. They not only have found a way
to get one, but they can get two crops
and many of them now believe they
have means of getting along with one
third of the usual commercial fertil-
izer bill
One of the prettiest growing cot
ton crops in Crisp county this season
has not dollars worth of CONNER
cial fertilizer charged against it. I'm
less there is a great change in both
cotton and the season, this farmer
with no fertilizer at all, is going to
get very close to his bale per acre. He
is making his crop without CONNER
cial fertilizer.
He estimates that he has in his soil
son than the average farmer would
have put there in commercial fertil-
izer ten years ago. He did his work
with soy beans and is watching re-
suits with great interest. His cotton
is even better than that of his neigh
bors and is better than it has been
in former years with the use of COM
mercial fertilizer
This Crisp county farmer possibly
would never have followed the course
he has taken with respect to fertilizing
| had it not become a necessity. He now
feels that the experience has been
worth a great deal to him. This is
the case with hundreds of farmers
Crisp county has not had as fine crops
as it now has in many season. There
is great reduction in the use of COM
mercial fertilizer and the enterprising
farmers are still working to cut this
cost. The effort is going to mean
greater profit in farming.
One splendid effect of the war can
be written, then, in this chapter. There
are many ways of getting good results
without heavy fertilizer and mule
bills. The Crisp county farmer is find

AMERIcus FIGHTING US.

Arthur Rylander, one of the Sumter
county commissioners, sat hard on
Cordele last week because the Dis
patch asserted that Americas is try
ing to divert interest from the con
struction of a bridge across Faint
river at Huguenin's. He charged that
we were trying to get something alb
solutely impracticable. But that is
not true as for Cordele.
OF course, he is looking at it from
an Americas viewpoint, The effort
is to get. across the river far up in
Dooly county and he enters a plea for
Vienna and Hawkinsville. There is
indeed great philanthropy in his man
Hesitation of interest in Hawkinsville,
which place is much smaller than
to have mentioned Cochran. All these
little towns up in that neck need a
bridge across Flint river much worse
than the people along the splendid
highway from here to Huguenin's and
along the Sumter highway beyond to
Cobb, Flintside and the large planta
tions adjoining .Rylander knows these
people are nearer Cordele than Amer
icus and a bridge across Flint river
might cut down the cotton receipts of
Americas. Americas is not going to
let Sumter help build a bridge that
might benefit Cordele.
1t is all deliberate effort to keep
Curdele from getting over into this
territory. 1t is now clear that Crisp
is going to have the burden of build
ing the bridge on its own shoulders
if it is ever built at the proper place
The people along Flint river on the
opposite side have expressed their
strong desire for the bridge and have
visited the county commissioners here
and pledged their portion of the funds
that will be needed to erect the
bridge. Americas cannot keep them

Members of the local camps who were

A CITY WITH NO TAXES.

For many years the city of Edinburg
has been run without dollar of mu-
nicipal taxes charged against the prop
erty holders This city is far away,
but its example in maintaining munic-
ipal government has become study
around the world. It has been many
a year since the citizen was called up
on to pay any sort of property tax.
Such proposition would indeed be un-
usual there. Here the very idea is so
strange that it would seem untrue.
Long ago Edinburg took over it's
public utilities. The water system,
the electric light and power plant, the
electric railways and the gas plants
are all operated by the city itself and
the income on these utilities run the
city government That's all there is
to it.
There is never an effort to do more
than make the revenues from the util-
tiles offset the costs of running the
city government and the plan has CIV
en- the seat municipal government
that has been considered model the
world over. The funds always avail
able are sufficient to give the city the
best of service in all departments
If the people of Cordele so desire,
they can have out of their water sys-
tenn and their electric lighting and
power systems profit sufficient to
run the municipal government with
out a dollar of municipal taxes. 1t
might be made to include the city
school. improvements and the charges
for. water and lights need not be raised
a penny above what the people are
now paying. The only thing required
would be "a business administration of
the affairs of both plants.
A city with all the advantages of a
city, with all the modern improve
ments needed as they become neces-
sity, city without taxes, is what Cor
dele could be if the city owned and
operated its own lighting and power
system in connection with the present
water plant. What would happen if
Cordele could assure new enterprises
that there would be no municipal tax
es? Would this be encouraging
capital?"

Those British sea dogs could stand
for it when it was told that they had
lost as many ships as their enemy in
the North Sea naval engagement, but
when the Germans claimed the British
ran away in the thick of the fight, they
not only showed Germany had misrep-
resented this thing, but'had hidden the
extent of their own damage in the
fight British men of war seem not
to have gotten into the thick of the
fray, owing to the fact that it was
necessary to fight the German fleet
on fast retreat. The British Admiral,
Lord Jellico, proudly declared he
swept the seas" He lost heavily
but drove the enemy to their own wa
tiers and still holds them there.

from helping, nor can Americas pre-.
vent the construction of the bridge
at Huguenin's.
If the bridge is built, it will first be
necessary to have the permission of
the United States government, for
Flint river above this point is yet
termed navigable This is a thing
that can be settled and our congress
men ought to be asked to do it now.
1t might be too late next fall or next
year. Crisp must have the bridge.

the way-be quoted truly, they're not
only in America now, but they're in
America to remain for some little time.
It's true that Marjorie does look
frayed-though, of course, the stormy
voyage over might have contributed to
such appearance. Howsoever there seem
to be more crowsfeet than six years Of
connubial responsibility would warrant.
AS from all accounts Marjorie and her
husband have ever gotten along famous
ly, one must go farther back for the diff
iculty-one generation back to be exact.
Anyone, according to those accounts, who
wants line on mothers-in-law need
only have highball or a cup of tea with
Marjorie. She is said to have declared
with emphasis that she has had a row
with the elder Mrs. Drexel every time
they came together, and that the old lady
just can't help dragging trouble round
with her, and that If anyone doesn't be-
lieve it he-or she-may ask anybody
in London-even> the Maidstones. It's
perfectly plain to see that she has no
sympathy with the senior Mrs Tony in
the latters trouble with her spouse. One
even might think that she was Just a bit
annoyed by Tony, Jr.'s, desire to remain
neutral. OF course the worries of
mother-in-law may be responsible for the
changed appearance of the once beautiful
Marjorie.
Speaking of the trouble between the
elder Drexels, that began as long ago as
1912 1t is said, when the first rumor of
an aoout-to-be filed divorce surprised So
The Washington herald., 1916-01-30

then only nineteen, much too young to
marry. To prove it she pointed out that
Marjorie knew nothing of managing a
house, and couldn't even arrange a din
ner in such manner as to do credit to the
position she would hold if she were
Drexels wife. Marjorie overruled her
objections by planning the affair at
which the engagement was announced.
No sooner was the engagement we'll
under way and everybody offering con-
gratulations, than another storm brewed.
1t was a quarrel between the young man
and his bride-to-be. 1t stopped every
thing for while. But the patching up
eliminated in a wedding such as New
York had never before seen or dreamed;
where price was disregarded utterly and
the appointments were splendid as those
OF an oriental pageant. The brides
fathers wedding present was a half mil
lion dollar home on Fifth ave, together
with a diamond necklace; her mothers
gift was a plastron of diamonds and
sapphires; and from other friends and
relatives she received wonderful and
priceless gifts. The honeymoon was
passed on the Gould yacht in a cruise
to the West Indies. 1t was some affair
all the way around, and looked like the
propitious beginning of happy life.
Six years have rolled along since then.
Marjorie and her husband, upon arriving
in New York the other day. went at once
to Georgian court, Lakewood where
they're to remain for visit And If the
young lady-she's only twenty-five by

ciety. In February, 1918, they made
some kind of agreement whereby they
were not to interfere with or annoy each
other; whereby they were to live apart,
and Tony was to pay his wife $4,000
yearly, in monthly installments. She was
also to be entitled to the income from a
policy in a New York company, and, in
case of his death, 100000 life insur-
ance. Also 1t was agreed that they
should not bring any kind of action
against each other
Howsoeyer It seems that TONY. Senior

that the alimony contract be enforced.
Some said Tony wouldn't find it neces-
sary to defend the London suits; how
ever, the court ruled differently, and the
suits are now muddling the Drexel re-
gime.
Just the stirring round such a suit
creates NAV be understood when II is
realized that because of her facilities for
entertaining and because Of the careful
game she plays, Mrs DreXel has been
one Of the few persona grata Americans
In London society-even mixing, as she
has, with the kings set According TO
those who should know. Mrs. DreNel has
surrounded herself with a bevy OF the
most remarkable people known to Lon
Con. But by the same ones who know,
II is being whispered that Mrs. Tony is
losing out since all the litigation started.
Which may be only another wallop from
the link.
Meanwhile Lady Maidstone is furnish
ing the British gossips with an indeDend-
ent line Of chatter. Exactly what is the
matter with the alliance which prom
ised to be so successful a half dozen
years ago? Is it becoming only another
hound dog for the foot Of the jinx to
kick around?
Margaretta's life has not been all
smooth skidding She met up with op-
position in the person Of King Edward.
II is declared, back in 1907, when rumor
had her engaged to Prince Francis Of
Teck. That the kings sense OF proper
ton was outraged at the idea Of Queen
Alexandra's brother marrying q COM
moner was put down as the reason for
that affair going a hivver. Afterward
she was reported engaged and unengaged
to half the eligibles Of Europe, and life
for her became a long, wesrisome sea-
son Of denials. Finally when she gave
up in despair and let EN- rave. the to-
multi died and she got married.
