A COMMISSION?
LEGISLATURE QUIT WITH SOME
THING THAT MAY IN THE END
CAUSE STATE TO LOSE ROAD
FUND,

Atlanta, Aug. Twill the state of
Georgia get her share of the federal
appropriation for public roads with
the highway commission which has
just been created by the legislature.
According to official advices from
Washington, the commission does not
meet the requirements of the federal
act and the state of Georgia, there
fore will lose her share of the appro-
priation.
The bill passed by the house creates
a highway commission consisting Of
the three members of the prison COM
mission The senate amended the bill
by adding the state geologist, the pro-
fessor of civil engineering at Georgia
Tech and the professor of civil engin-
eering at the University OF Georgia to
the commission This amendment
was agreed to by the house.
The commission still lacks author
ity, still lacks funds, still lacks high
way engineer, still lacks clerical help
and the numerous and various other
functions and facilities necessary to
organize an efficient highway depart
ment.

Pen Sketches and
Comparisons
MARY E. TAYLOR.

Reviewing the history of Cordele for
the past twentyeight years, one notes
with pleasurable interest her ranid
strides from a hamlet numbering a
few hundred souls to a city of pop
ulation approXimating ten thousand,
an erst-while Wayside station, whoseI
business section comprising two brick
buildings surrounded by woodenI
shacks; an occasioned visit from al
minister of the gospel, congregation
worshiping under brush arbor, SMALL
and inconvenient school building, said
building serving for almost every con-
ceivable purpose from the delivery of
Sunday discourse to Saturday even
ing dance, in contrast with the Cordele
of today!
It has never been devastated by
storm, nor has her firesides been made
desolate by pestilence, having had
throughout her existence a light NOR
tality with elegent churches, well
equipped school buildings, scores of
beautiful homes and number of
handsome business houses, her rail
road facilities equaled by few locali-
ties.
The colored population is orderly,
many of whom own their homes with
their churches, school buildings, their
sanitarium and places of amusement
and dwelling tremendously with their
white friends from whom they reap
good wages for honest labor, The APP
proving smile of heaven overshadows
ALL
Far removed from the unfortunate
ones across the seas, where hearts and
homes are made desolate by the de-
stroyjng hand of war. On rejecting
upon Cordele's manifold blessings, /
am constrained with the balmist to
exclai,D, blessed be the Lord who dali
ly leadeth us with his benefits"

FALL BUSINESS

COTTON SET THINGS IN MOTION
AND NOW THE WHEELS OF BUS
MESS ARE TURNING FAST.

The gathering and marketing of the
cotton crop is telling the tale of pros

has just closed a contract with the Sno

Seattle, Wash, for eight large kilns
20x104 feet each, with drying capacity
of about 100000 feet of lumber per
day These kilns are to be built I'M
der the Moore moist air system OF
drying. A good part Of the iron equip
ment used in the construction of these
kllns will be manufactured in the
Moore Company's modern shops here
and shipped to Seattle.
1t is a strong tribute to a Southern
made Product that lumber manufac-
turer III Seattle should place an order
with a dry kiln manufacturer i'll the
south, as there is dry kiln mauufac-
turing concern located i'll the city CT
Seattle. This, however, is another
demonstration of the fact that with

Southern manufacturers need not mes
itate to go out for a market anywhere
tueir products are required.

TONOPAA MAN WINS
HIS DAMAGE CASE
ERNEST &. BROWN SUSTAINED IN
HIS DEMAND AGAINST
THE STATE

There is trouble brewing in the in
dustral commission. Chairman Null
len and COMMISSIONER Wallace had
some hot words yesterday evening,
and il all came about a claim of Ern-
est f. Brown of Tonopah before the
commission for injuries sustained
while in the employ of a concern
which comes under the industrial in
surance act Mulln refused to pay
the claim as the employer was behind
in his premiums. Commissioner Wal
lace took the opposite view and was
supported by Commissioner Lennon.
At the meeting Mullin was overruled
and the claim, amounting to over
$1,400, was ordered paid
The attorney general had already
given an opinion that the claim was
valid, and Commissioner Wallace
states that other legal opinions had
been given to the same effect. but
that Mullin refused to abide by any
of them. The only other course OPEN
therefore, was to vote down his rul'
ings and have the claim paid
