PERFECTLY GOOD WINE PO ] RED
 |NTO GROUND

LONDON. Dec. l. -- The action of Rosalind. Countess of Carlisle in pour ing away into the ground about l,5OO bottles of wine, as evidence of her strong temperance views. has aroused storm of criticism in letters to the newspapers The countess is presi dent of the British WOmen's Temper ance Association. She has been a life long total abstainer and temperance advocate.
 The wine was of old vintage and was stored in the cellars of Castle Howard, the Yorkshire estate of the countess She inherited the stock but is said to have kept the cellars sealed for the last thirty years. A few days ago the wine cellars were opened, a large hole was dug near the countess mansion, and the caretaker poured the contents of the bottles into it.
 The countess action has been criti- cized on the ground the while it is consistent with her principles, the wine would be very acceptable in mill tary hospitals for the use of convalesc ing soldiers.

ONE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Crisp county is operating its schools
mder dual system that initiates
against efficiency world without end
and, besides, has far more costly
method than the average tay payer
would believe. The city system and
he rural system are two separate and
distinct little kingdoms and there arc
wo heads that are often driving in
different directions. Such a system
Will never reap the best results for il
not a system at all, in spite of the
act that some of us would have it that
way in very strong language.
The rural school ought TO have the
anne splendid services of a highly ed
lcated head that the city schools anC
ought to have the services of a
teacher as well equipped as the teach

lot to say that the one has advantages
over the other, but two separately
managed systems cannot have the one

System in marketing the crop is
thing that should become the study OF
the present day farmer. The business
man has it on the farmer when it
comes to doing things by method. The
farmer may be a good farmer, may
grow a good crop and if it is not cot
ton, he may not know how to reach a
market The farmer who learns read
lily what are the paying crops and then
finds the best market after the crops
are made, is the successful farmer.
This kind of farmer is no longer tied
to cotton growing. Successful farm
ing requires good business Judgment

MANY, MANY WAYS.

Most of those who reject the bond
issue for the electric lighting and pow
er plant have their own suggestions
as TO how the thing should be done
and often are sure that if their own
ideas were followed, the proposition
would be a bowling success. There
are citizens who have splendid sugges-
tions. There are those who become
deeply interested and study the ques-
ton with proper care, while there are
many who never spend minute think
ing what would be best.
Points argued against such munich
pal improvement are contained in the
claim that the taxes should not be in
creased and that there is no provision
for a commission of business men to
handle the fund and put the plant to
operation; that we have not promised
fair price for the plant already in
operation here.
AS Tor the taxes, we need not be put
to an increase. The earnings of the
electric light and power plant even
as it is operated now separately and
independently, will be sufficient to pay
for it. This will hold good even if
we have to buy the present plant. The
city of Cordele can operate the light
and water plants together and make
The electric light plant pay for itself
and give the city free the lights it is
now paying nearly $4,000 year for
if TT is allowed to charge the pres
ent rate for lighting and power. But
if some one should step in and try to
increase the taxes, it could not be done
not so the property owner could
know it.
The charter of the city provides for
a commission to handle such matters
as a bond issue for the electric light
and power plant No body need wor-
ry about that. The friends of the is
sue favor permanent commission for
The water and lights, commission OF
business men, body that is removed
from politics, not tied to any city ad-
ministration or faction. Such com
mission is in charge in Cedartown and
one man has been ION the job" eigh-
teen years at salary Of $25 a year.

or the community to lose time, on
matters that are ahead of the main is
