Only few days remain before
Christmas, and yet the large Christ
mas stocks that the Cordele mer-
chants have provided for their trade
are not moving in sufficient quanti-
ties to show that the "shop early" plan
is very commonly practiced. Still, the

FARMERS PLAN HEAVY
GRAIN CROP
CRISP AND DOoLY PLANTERS ARE
DEVOTING LARGE ACREAGE TO
WHEAT AND OATS FOR NEXT
SEASON.

Farmers in both Crisp and Dooly
counties are planting grain this fall
and winter in large quantities. The
fields of wheat for miles through both
counties are already presenting a
green appearance. There is probably
25 to 40 per cent more wheat planted
this time already than was planted
last year.
Larger acreage in oats by far is al
ready sown. This grain alone will
show an increase of fifty per cent
Preparation of land this season is con-
sidered far in the lead Of last year and
the grain crops, if fair seasons are
had, will yield great increase of
wealth the coming year.

ANTECIGARETTE LAWS

Atlanta, Dec. S.-Will cigarettes fol-

Bills to prohibit the sale or ship

cigarette paper will probably be in

their authors will urge action as dras-
tic as that which has outlawed the
cigarette in Kansas.
Another piece of reform legislation
which has been suggested is law
to prohibit motion picture theaters

RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT
WAS BADLY NEEDED

And now everybody has occasion to
rejoice over the refreshing showers.
The rains that fell last night were the
first of any consequence for some
months. The dry season created dust
in choking quantities and to get it set
tied is sufficient to greatly help ones
feelings.
The farmers have been in serious
need of rain and the supply that came
last night is yet insufficient for their

WHERE MOSES MADE PLEA
 FOR RELEASE OF HEBREWS

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 9.-The Museum of the University of Pennsylvania has made public a report from Dr. Clarence $. Fisher, leader of the Eckley B. Cox, Jr. expedition to Egypt, in which he tells of what appears to be the discovery that Meremptah had ln his palace at Memphis an archeologlcal mu- scum something like those of the present day. Meremptah was the son of RameseS the Great, and by many is identified as the Pharaoh of the oppression, as described ID the Book of Exodus.
 The palace was discovered early Tn the present year, the report says. It WAS large and elaboratcly decorated, but at some tune it was destroyed by fire, traces of which are abundant. The palace was about lS0 feet long and 100 feet wide, and cOntaned about twenty rooms The throne room was mag niticent chamber of about 60 by 40 feet. In describing this room the museum announce ment state that it is probable that this throne room, if not the same one, Is similar 10 the one in which Moses and Aaron con fronted the Pharaoh, demanding that the people of Israel be permitted to go.
 The authorities in Egypt admit that a great discovery has been made
 In the throne room were found gold orna- ments, scarabs vessels for various purposes and vases. The most interesting find, the report states, was a collection of relics partly of the stone age and partly of the Sixth dynasty (about 4500 B. e., indicating that Meremptah was 8 collector much like modern men or nations. The stone lmple- ments included knives razors, slckles, etc.
