Secretary Of War Garrisons resig-
nation must be regarded by all thought
fui Americans az serious loss. The
country feels that il has been deprived
Of the services of one OF the Admins
tration's strongest and most competent
members, one OF the three or four men
who have so favorably impressed the
public mind that no vision OF ques-
tion mark arises when they are men
toned.
Without assuming 70 judge which at
'itude is the wiser, Mr.. Garrison bears
striking testimony TO his sincerity OF
convictions and Of his purpose. His
retirement greatly weakens the effort
toward adequate national defence. Thus
IL is a serious loss 10 the country.
Many will regard il as loss even
more serious TO the Wilson Admins

Under the requirements of the new

the complete and rapid result of the

Sheriff Ward found that there was

ALEX SUFFERS FOR THE
SINS OF HIS PREDECESSORS

Alex Chacknen the well known res
taurant man had much as yet to suffer
for the sins of one of his predeces-
so1s Alex purchased the entire stock
and fixtures of a restaurant formerly
doing business in Cordele under the
name of Eagle Cafe.
It's proprietor, Jim Brown, was too
good to live in Cordele and determin-
ed to change quarters. After Jim left,
his place was offered for sale by the
sheriff and Alex innocently became
one of the bidders. when finally the
place was sold to him for $3.50 cash.
Months and years passed and Alex
enjoyed the property which he bought
from his competitor in fee simple,
when of a sudden there comes ulti-
matum from a Hotel Equipment Co.
claiming that Alexis predecessor owed
this firm the approximate sum of half
a thousand bucks Alex laughed his
famous laugh that everybody knows.
But Immediately afterwards he be-
came serious, for this hotel concern
did not participate in Alexis laugh.
Instead, the sheriff is asked to take
stock of the place of business in which
Alex works. Alex says that he suffers
for the sins of his predecessors.
