, WORKING FOR THE BRIDGE

Great encouragement has been given
the movement for the construction OF
a bridge across the Flint river during
the past week and men. on both sides
Of the river are devising plans There
are two plans-one for bridge al
Murrays Ferry and the other for q
bridge at Huguenin's Ferry. Officials
Of Sumpter and Dooly counties want
the bridge at Murray's, while nearly
all the people beyond the river and
the people of Crisp on this side want
the river spanned at Huguenins.
Dooly county will hardly join in the
construction of bridge on the Crisp
county border Commissioners OF
Crisp county are hardly loking for
Dooly's assistance in such an enter
prise. On the other hand while Dooly
county wants a bridge over the river
at Murray's, the commissioners will
hardly expect Crisp to help beyond its
own border
1t is a matter much to be regretted
that the commissioners of Sumpter
county are not as one with the Crisp
county commissioners in the plan to
construct the bridge at Huguenin's
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1916-05-03

Ferry, for it is at this point that the
people of Flintside, Cobb, Leslie and
the other communities beyond the
Flint want the bridge. 1t is in these
communities, as trading center, that
Cordele is most vitality interested.
There can be no doubt that the people
over the river want the bridge at HUI
guenin's, for they have sent represent
tatives to Cordele prepared to pledge
their individual subscriptions to the
fund that will go 70 the building of the
bridge.
Crisp might well go ahead with the
plans. If they cannot have the sup
port Of Srmpter as a county, they GER
tainly can have reasonable support
from the people of the towns and COM
munities bordering the river who want
to contribute as individuals. That sup
port, if it is really strong, will bring
Sumpter to the rescue sooner or la
ter, for the commissioners of that coun
ty are not going to stand by and see
the citizens do the work themselves.

Revelations come with astounding
rapidity. That the German government
is organized in force and working with
great system in this country is shown
almost daily in some new outcropping.
While Germans are going to prison III
this country for participating in con
spiracies, the German influence seems
to grow in volume and force. There
is nothing in history to compare with
the daring and the nerve displayed.
1t took sometime for the Washington
government even to suspect that il
was German influence that sent the
thousands of kilograms which evident
ly had for their mission the blocking
of the purpose of President Wilson.
And as the members of congress be-
gan to awake to the situation, while
they smiled at the prank, they mus
have been impressed with the serious
ness of such designs
The Teuton is never asleep in this
war. His influence is being felt around
the world He will be bottled up some
day on his native heath and driven
back to his own hearth there to pay
for the follies of miitarism, but for
the present he is all sorts of an I'M
conquered cuss
His activities in every land make
It impossible for a people to remain
neutral. German atrocities on the
high seas have been amply sufficient
to turn the civilized world against the
kaiser. Offenses against American
citizens are not one whit less frequent
in spite of the strained relations and
if ever the diplomats of this coun-
try were "up in the air" is is certainly
true now.
The Teuton can ineite rebellion
on English soil as radily as he can OPP
crate machine gun in his own treach-
es. Old England in the past week
came near losing her peaceful hold on
the Emerald Isle and now that it is all
over the thing has settled down to
German intrigue.
If the United States goes through
without a resort to arms the escape
will be as by miracle How this c0un-
try is going to pass up German activi--
ties within its own borders is a thing
ineXplcable now. The longer the Eu-
ropean struggle lasts the more deeply
are we involved.
But the rift is coming somewhere;
the break with the United States may
come, but a speedier termination OF
the gigantic struggle must follow. And
when in the interest Of our own, this
country is thrown into the war the
watch word with all the world set
against the Teutons will be: Ger.

GIVE US ONE MORE LAW.

We owe it to the boys and girls of
the state who have no showing at the
scholastic training provided for them
cut of the funds of Georgia for edu-
cation to see that they get their few
months in school and a compulsory
law, it seems to us, is long past due.
Paternalism such as the state must
exercise in seeing that the youth have
a reasonable time in school is kind
that should no longer seem to have
it's terrors It should rather be well
coined by a citizenship that certainly
by this time knows well that there is
greater army Of boys and girls grow
ing to womanhood and manhood with
out rudimentary education.
Out of every thousand growu-ups in
Georgia today seventy-seven persons
cannot write their own names. This
does not include the colored popula-
ton There are forty-eight thousand
white children in Georgia of school age
who never saw the inside of school
building last year. That same mum
Der, and may be more, will not get any
schooling this year. 1t assures us q
greater percentage of illiteracy, by
far, than this state can afford We are
now nearly at the foot of the list OF
states in illiteracy.
Georgia and one other state are the
only two in the union that are now
without compulsory education in some
form. 1t is high time somebody had
the matter under serious consdera
ton. Representative Doris of Crisp
county is busy drafting a new com
ing the subject in the hope Of carrying
with him to Atlanta a measure that
will mean step in the right direc-
ton. He hopes to be able to do some
thing for Georgia in this long delayed
agitation for the education of the boy
and girl whose parents fall short of
their duty.
In Crisp county great good has been
done without the law, for school
boards, school officials and school trus-
tees have worked late hours devising
plans to get all the children into the
schools and the showing is more than
creditable. Wonderful progress has
been made here and in other commu-
mites, but still there is an element
woefully short of the rudimentary re
quirements and it is pretty GENERALLY
believed that the state should go di-
rectly to the work of educating its
children whose parents will never viii
lingly permit them to attend the
schools long enough to get the elemen
tary training that is SO necessary.
The session of the Georgia legisla
ture that put the state prisoners on
the road did wonderful work The
legislative body that wrote into the
statutes the present prohibition laws
did a still greater work, but the body
Of law makers who think enough of
the youth of Georgia to study out and
write into the laws Of the common
wealth such provisions as will guar
antee an elementary education to those
who cannot get it in any other way,
will be doing an even greater work,
Ii Representative Doris has friend
in Crisp or any other county in the
state with an idea that will help in
the drafting of practical measure fer
compulsory education, that friend
should never stop till he has made
it known. Crisp's member of the leg
islature has this thing on his heart and
in his mind. If he succeeds, the re-
salts will be monumental
