A LIVE STOCK SHOW.

That was not bad idea that came
of little colt show in town little over
week ago when a number of sub
stantial stock men came in with the
horse and mule crop" and suggested
Il live stock show for the fall. There
were number of farmers who eX-
pressed strong interest and it is fair
ly certain that the show could be made
fine occasion for the farmer and live
stock man.
Such Il show always works wonders
in the spread of practical knowledge
for those who attend and take inter
est II is school within itself. Those
who talked of the proposed show prop
erly felt that the occasion should not
be directed to making a great display
OF our fine stock so much as to secur-
ing a general interest in stock raising
by making the fall show a kind of
chatauqua where much can be learned
about raising cattle, horses and hogs
for profit. Such an opportunity would
be gladly welcomed by the farmers
and stock raisers.
If the farmers can have week for
a live stock show with program Of
helpful work of a most practical kind,
they will be able to get something
from the show that will mean advance
ment in stock raising i'll the county
IF most substantial character. Just
I little advance pre- baration and a
carefully planned program will make
III occasion worth much in the way
If added wealth in stock raising.
The live stock show is one of the
urcst means of creating interest III
stock raising. That such a show will
he timely, is a matter already decided
by local stock raisers and they want
o try it out in the fall Cordele could
give Crisp county farmers the show
ii their lives just as an opener for the
rade season and if they had half a
chance they would be ready.
Somebody might do very timely
act by going i'll for the show. The
farm dairy, beef cattle, raising hogs
or profit, crops for the stock raiser
and u thousand other practical things
mught occupy the minds of the stock
farmers at Il show of real value. The
| county needs it, The stock farmers
will do their part towards making ii
| great success and the business mon
Of Cordcle will help to provide an oC.
casion worth much.

NEW INDUSTRIAL nocTRINE.

From other far sections of the coun-
try come constant references to the
widely increasing industrial develop
ment There is unprecedented indus
trial expansion and growth throughout
the country. People everywhere arc
beginning to take no;e of the wonder
full activity. A long dormant business
has been resurrected in spite of the
depressions coming out of Europe and
factories and mills are full of orders.
The start indicates that the money
which has been hidden away until the
excitement has passed is now coming
out seeking new investment The
country is full of capital seeking place
to earn its way and this is going to
develop the new industries which are
overdue.
THE demands for all kinds of goods
I've been so suddenly increased that
is everywhere apparent that the sup
y is not being made fast enough More
actories, more goods, is the great cry
she demand can only be met with the
increased number of factories and
mills and these mills and factories
must find convenient location.
Now is our greatest opportunity, The
cotton mills must be brought nearer to
the cotton fields and while they are
coming to Georgia. there is little rca-
son why they should not be built here
and put to,work whiie the north and
east are getting such fabulous prices
for the manufactured goods because
of the increased demands, local cap
ital ought to be finding Il way to start
spindles at the gates of the cottT
fields.

Soon the need Of the new industry
will be so apparent that local capital
will be moving in that direction We
can offer no better inducement to out
siders than to have faith in our own
business.
