CRISP BRIDGES
SUFFER LITTLE
BRIDGES IN CRISP COUNTY OVER
SMALL STREAMS DAMAGED BUT
NO CONSIDERABLE LOSS is SUS-
TAINED-RoADS CUT UP.

Damage wrought in Crisp county by
the heavy rainfall and the severe wind
storms o1 the past few weeks has by
no means been small, though, as com
pared with the damage done in other
sections of south Georgia by high wa
ter and hurricanes, this immediate sec
ton has been blessed.
Considerable damage has been done
to the public highway of the county
by the torrential rains, they being bad
ly washed in places, and bridges over
some of the streams of the county
have been partially or totally destroy
ed as a result. Warden Cox is direct
ing the work of the rebuilding Of
these bridges, and Gre repairs are be-
ing rapidly made. Where the roads
are badly impaired, crews of convicts
and machines are being used in plac-
ing them in good condition.
While damage has teen done to
some Of the larger bridges of the coun-
ty, the principal damage was at the
bridges spanning the smaller streams.
The bridge across Lime Stone creek
at the location known as Wells Ford,
has been undated by the waters of
Flint river, which is still more than
a mile out OF its banks. This bridge is
$50 feet in length and passage has
been impossible. Reports Saturday
were that the bridge was from four
to five fet under water and that it
would probably be four or five days
before the water will recede sufficient
ly for passage.
Heavy damage has been done to the
crops along side the river

DORIS WILL ASK
FOR REELECTION
REPRESENTATIVE FROM CRISP
WILL ANNOUNCE IN FEW DAYS.
NO OPPOSITION so FAR SHOW
ING UP.

That he will be candidate to sue
coed himself as representative of Crisp
county in the legislature is the state
ment of Hon. w. H. Doris to The Dis
patch. His formal announcement to
this effect is expected in a few days.
No opposition is announced against
Representative Doris and none is in
prospect at this time. He has become
identified as one of the leaders in the
General Assembly, having fostered a
number of bills of statewide interest
within the past two years, taking an
active interest in the passage of the
state prohibition bill, the w. & A. leg
islation and other measures of equal
interest and importance.
Immediately upon the gathering Of
the legislature in its present session,
Representative Doris introduced his
bill for compulsory education in GeOr-
gia. There were several other similar
measures offered for passage. 1t has
been suggested, and seems to be the
general understanding, that the au-
thors of these bills will cooperate for
the passage of such bill as will give
Georgia an educational law equal to
that of any state. 1t is proposed to
take the best features from all of the
bills and embody in one for passage.

CRISP COTTON
IS COMING BACK
CONDITIONS OF PRESENT WEEK
MORE FAVORABLE TO CROP
AND FARMERS ARE GETTING
AWAY FROM STORM IN BETTER
SHAPE.

Farming conditions throughout this
section are rapidly improving since
the cessation of the excessive rains
of the past three weeks. The warm
weather following the rainy sason has
made very noticeable improvement
in the cotton crop. 1t is considered
by the farmers that the cloudy wealth
err has been decidedly best for the cot
ton, as hot sunshine would have caused
it to lose much of its growth and fruit
from scalding. AS it is, the crop is
holding its fruit we'll 1t is estimated
that the average damage to the crop
throughout this county as result Of
the heavy and continuous rains has
been ten per cent. .e5t1
While the corn crop has not been
generally benefited by the rains little
damage has come to it as a conse-
quence. Wind has caused the prinei-
pal damage in this crop.

CAR CRASHED
INTO MONUMENT
C. 3. BOWEN NARROWLY ESCAPES
SERIOUS iNJURY-LITTLE BOY
THROWN FROM CAR AND HURT.

C. B. Bowen, driving small car,
crashed into the Confederate monu-
ment late Friday afternoon while try
ing to avoid a collision with another
car at the Americas National Bank
corner and the accident cost small
son, Hugh, very painful wounds and
shaking up for Mrs. Bowen. The
car was badly smashed up, but Mr.
Bowen was uninjured.
Two children were occupying the
rear seat in the car when the crash
came. One of them was dashed to
the ground and came near striking
head first on the base of the monu-
ment. He sustained a deep cash IN
the scalp which required surgical at
tention. Mrs. Bowen remained in the
car and the accident was made no
worse by the fact that the speed was
hardly more than eight miles an hour.

BILL FOR BRIDGE.
At HUGUEN|N :
MEASURE INTRODUCED IN CON-
GRESS WHICH WILL OPEN WAY
FOR CRISP TO BUILD STRUC-
TURE WHEN READY.

Congressman Charles R. Crisp has
introduced a bill in congress provid-
ing for a bridge to be constructed
across Flint river at Huguenin's Fer
ry or such other point as may be de-
cided upon by Crisp county. This is
the first step towards a bridge at a
point where it is so badly needed, but
does not mean that the actual con-
struction is any way near at hand.
When the measure becomes a law
legal obstacles will be removed and
when it is possible to undertake this
highway Improvement there will be
nothing in the way. AS soon as the
act passes, the county commissioners
ct Crisp will be notified and they will
then announce the way clear.
The commissioners of Crisp have
had the bridge construction under
consideration on many different &C.
casions. They have several times ask
ed the aid of Sumter county in con-
structing this bridge, but have never
had anything better than an offer to
help build a bridge at Murrays, sew
eral miles up in Dooly. The matter is
by no means a dead one, however, and
the purpose now is to devise means
for building the bridge with funds Sc
cured by other sources than from the
officials of Sumter.

THIEVES KEEP UP
CHICKEN STEALING
w. 3. MTHEWS AND HENRY RAPE
LOSE NEARLY FORTY FRlERS
-BETTER KEEP CHICKEN HOUSE
LOCKED AT NIGHT.

If w. B. Mathews knew the identi-
ty and whereabouts Of the person or
persons who are enjoying delicious
dishes of chicken at his expense, he
would undertake to see that such en-
joyment was brought to elimination
in short order He lost about forty
fine chickens, most of them frying
size, within the past few nights, and
the thoughts of it are not altogeth-
er in accord with the good spirits that
MIR. Mathews usually displays.
There are other citizens in and near
Cordele just at this time who believe
that hanging, would be too good for a
chicken theft and the Jail house ought
to be the lodging place of every one
of them right now. They have cause
for so thinking, for chicken stealing
is recreation in this vicinity. 1t is
not misput advice to tell Cordele folks
to put the lock on the chicken house
door and keep it locked and see that
the chickens don't roost about pro-
miscuously in the trees, on the fences,
etc.
Henry Rape can share sympathy
equally with Mr. Mathews, as he has
lost an equal number of chickens with
in the past week. Forty of his best
are missing.

MORE PAY FOR
BOARD CHAIRMAN
CHANGE IN LAWS TO PROVIDE
BETTER PAY FOR CHAIRMAN OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

A legislative act, which is intended
TO place the office of chairman of the
board of county commissioners OF
Crisp county on a more responsible
and business-like basis, is now in the
hands of Representative w. H. Doris
in the form of bill. It will be intro
duced in a short time.
1t is planned to so amend the act
creating the board OF county commits
sioners of Crisp that the chairman may
be paid five dollars per day for those
days that he is in actual service for
the county. The pay of the chairman
now is on the same basis with that OF
the other two commissioners, % per
day for service to the county in super
vision of work on the highways, and
50 per day for meeting days.
1t is further provided i'll the proposed
amendment that the salary Of the
chairman shall not exceed 5000 per
year.
The change is being urged because
of complaint on the part of past chair
men that the office demanded too much
time for their personal business for
the small compensation. 1t is planned
to put the Office on a more dignified
basis in order that capable and respon-
sible men may be secured through q
lust remuneration for their services.
