CLIMATE
WELL NIGH PERFECT

The climate of this territory OF
which Cordele is the center is as near
Nv perfect as can be found anywhere
in the temperate zone. The section
does not suffer the extreme cold that
visits the countries further north and
the extreme heat of Southern states
is seldom felt here.
The winters are comparatively short
and are usually without excessive
cold. The summers are long and al
though a high degree of temperature
may at times be recorded; the heat is
never oppressive. The average tenn
perature is about 80 degrees, with
rainfall amply sufficient for all purpos-
es, averaging from 40 to so inches, and
is usually distributed evenly through
out the seasons. Snowfall rarely ex'
ceeds 3. inches in an entire winter.
Killing frosts do not occur earlier than
Octorer Is, nor later than March 10,

,DUCKWORTH OUT
With PLATFORM
FARMERS UNION NOW THINKS
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
SHOULD BE A MAN WITH DEFl-
MITE VIEWS.

II. F. Duckworth possibly better
known to the farmers of Georgia than
any other farmer leader in public
thought and politics, is out with
statement including what he would
have included in a platform for the
candidate running for governor. He
would offer the platform but not the
candidate. He sent out the following
from his home in Union City for pub
LEGATION in the papers of the present
week:
"This is no time for soft pedal can
didates for governor. The people
want a chance to vote for a man who
has some definite views and is not
afraid to say so.
"The governorship is not a badge
of honor to be passed around, but
should be filled by a leader leader
with definite views, not only about pro-
hibition, but about other issues that
vitality concern the state of Georgia.
"a man with a platform who is not
afraid to defend it is badly needed. |
suggest a platform, but not a candi-
date.
"The following in my judgment
would be the proper form for stating
a platform:
list | pledge myself to call con-
ference of Superior Court Judges of
the state to recommend legislation
and judicial action for enforcing the
law and preventing lynchings in Geor-
gia.
"2nd. Georgia has strong prohibition
laws. | am in favor of their enforce
ment, but l am opposed to the contin-
ued agitation of the subject, to the
detriment of other issues in which the
citizens of the state at this time are
more vitality concerned.
"3rd. | am opposed to the selling of
the state road, but favor leasing it.
If the rail roads do not give the state
a fair deal, | will then advocate build
ing to the sea, and state operation.
| will not permit the state road paral-
leled.
9th / favor a graduated land tax
that will cause the idle lands of Geor-
gia to be cut into small farms and
sold to our homeless farmers and
those that may come to Georgia from
other states.
18th. ! favor putting Solicitor-gen
erals on salary thereby, abolishine
| the unjust and hampering fee system
18th. l favor general reorganiza
ton of our Justice court system, with
view to an equitable compensation
for Justices, Bailiffs and Jurors.
9th. | am unalterably opposed tC
the LOAN Shark" and as a means tC
| the systems elimination favor the pay
| ing of employees of all corporations
bi-monthly.
18Th. | will insist upon the Attor
ney General enforcing all state usury
| laws and if additional legislation is
needed for the suppression of unjus
usury charges, will support such leg
| islation.
18th. will do everything within my
| power to eliminate illiteracy in Geor
| gia and with view to that end, ad
vocate a conference of the school trus
| tees, boards of education and schoo
superintendent in each county to dis
! cuss the best plans, these meetings tt
be followed by state conference
to recommend some sound Legislation
| on the subject.

GASOLINE MAY
co To 80 CENTS
AUTO OWNERS MAY LOOK FOR
HIGH FIGURES.

Washington, March 14,-Despite the
investigation into the price of gaso-
line ordered by the federal trade com
mission, the price of gasoline is still
going up. hF
The wholesale price has risen to
% IL cents in this market during the
last week. This means a retail price
Of from "a ~ to % cents.
A price of so cents is predicted be.
fore the end of the war $500 7.
Automobiles throughout the coun-
try are becoming deeply concerned
over the upward tendency of prices.
Motorboat owners are wondering
whether they will care to do much
steaming this summer Manufacture
ers OF autos appear tnot to be concern
ed, the leading makers being far be-
hind their orders and decline to guar
antee deliveries under two months
A resolution has been introduced in
the house by Representative Dowell,
calling for an investigation by con-
gress into the gasoline situation, with
particular reference to the effect OF
the supreme court decision dissolving
the Standard Oil Company. 1t is not
felt, however, that congress will take
the matter up in view Of the ,exhaus-
tive inquiry set on foot by the federal
trade commission. s. 8t
Here are some of the reasons ad.
vanced for the increase in prices: 8
A 35 per cent increase in consump-
tion of gasoline last year, as compared
to 1914
Increased use of gasoline in war
craft, including 1000 British boats
built to hunt down submarines, and
patrol boats carrying gasoline engines
of 400 to S00-horse power.
The slump in the Cushing field,
which has produced 100000 barrels a
day of crude oil of high gasoline con-
tent. The production of these fields
decreased during 1915 to 100000 bar
rels day.
The cutting off of Mexican oil be-
cause of transportation difficulties. ...o
A promise Of improvement, accord
ing to experts, is in the treatment of
benzol, which is produced in large
quantities as byproduct of steel
plans. a. ss
