MORE ABOUT PEANUTS.

In the past few years the peanut
palitable and nutritious, has been com
ing steadily into its own as food
crop and product of commercial i'm
portance. Ten years ago the peanut
roduction-mostly in Virginia, Geor-
gia and the Carolinas-totaled about
$4,000, 900 bushels, valued at $1,000, 900.
In 1915 the peanut crop amounted in
round numbers of 10000 900 bushels
and the value was about $19,000.0O0.
The peanut sandwich, which has re-
Gently become a recognized commodi-
ty of trade, is yet in its infancy. Its
popularity is growing rapidly, and the
sandwich output will soon reach high
figures But the largest use to which
the peanut is put as an economic fac

THE COUNTRY CHURCH.
The Albany Herald says:

The Albany Herald says:
"a live church in country COM
munity is power for good. 1t
stands as sentinel of law and Or
der, and it's appeal for righteous
living cannot be ignored. 1t makes
the neighborhood in which it is
located better neighborhood than
it would otherwise be.
1.-THE nation would be more for
tunate if the number of country
churches were rapidly increasing.
That they are actually becoming
fewer is to be deplored."
The day is not far hence when the
country church will have its live pas

town. AS the country becomes more
developed, more people will be there
to make the charge of the country pas.

fuence too great to ever imagine the
rural community can get along with
out it. The live pastor will be the saw
ing force and the great religious de.

need. Educated ministers with real re-
ligion in their hearts are the need of
the country communities. Our larger
denominations owe it to their coun-

HARDMAN AND THE LIQUORITES

HARDMAN AND THE LIQUORITES
Marion Jackson declares again that
Hardman cannot become governor of
Georgia without the support of the
liquor interests. He believes appar-
emily that the liquor interests, if there
are such interests now left in Georgia,
are going straight to the task of pun
ishing Governor Harris for ending the
liquor traffic.
And passing over the ground again
he has this to say:
when under the leadership of
Hooper Alexander the prohibition
lists of Georgia had the near-beer
evil on the run in 1909, DR.. Hard
man, at the crucial point, turned
up missing. When in 1915 the
liquorites were laughing in their
sleeves thinking that they had
again fastened the near-beer and
locker-club hypocrisies on Georgia,
Governor Harris took the step
which enabled the prohibitionists
of the state to put an end forever
to both of those evils
Hardman is not a liquor interests
man. The last bit of that is rot, pure
and simple. Those who would sell Ii
quor in Georgia, it is true, may be an
gered at what Governor Harris accom-
plished when he included the prohi-
bition measure in the call for the spe-
cial session of the legislature last fall.
That may be hitting for revenge. but
they may be assured Hardman is not
going to offer them quarter if he wins.
But if Jackson is friend of Gov
ernor Harris he ought to be reminding
the prohibitionists that they owe the

ANNoUNcEME EMIT.

Beginning with May the Dispatch
will appear on Wednesdays and Sun
days for an indefinite time. This is
sue is the first for Sunday The man
agement has hardly had the time to
make such improvements in the plant
as will yet be necessary, but it is now
considered possible to get the addi-
tional paper and at the same time give
the community one more issue which
in time will be made as nearly repre-
sentative of what is needed in a news
paper as it is possible to offer under
the circumstances.
The making of good newspaper is
not task that can be accomplished
over night. White paper that cost one
and nineteenth cents per pound last
half cents per pound. This thing alone
can spell disaster to an infant newspa-
per enterprise.
We can never evince disloyalty, to
our own and so far as the Dispatch
is concerned it has nothing too good
for the people of Cordele and Crisp
county, but the safe business admin
istration of it's affairs requires eau
tious procedure. The dollar invested
in our plant must remain worth a dol
lar and more. This same plant must
be, used for the daily
We believe the time is not far dis
tant when in our natural growth we
{ will be able to make of the Dispatch
all the community will want. Let our
friends be patient till our working
knowledge of both business communi
ty and our new plant will justify i'm
provement.
We have added to our lists already
hundreds of subscribers who are worth
while, and we are just in the begin
ming of campaign which will make
the circulation what it should be- We
want our advertisers to use our space
because it is worth to them the price
they have to pay. We would much
rather see Them learn to get results
from judicious advertising that allow
them to remain at the old habit of CIV
ing us little business just to help us
along. Let them leain to expect some
thing from their paid space in our pa
per. If we do not deliver the goods"
it will be time to quit

both the Wednesday and the Sunday
issues, for five cents per week On the
mail the paper will be $500 per year
