going to be duped in the end. With
our issue of bonds we can build if it
becomes necessary. This will insure
fair play when we have to negotiate
for the present plant.
Here we are again arrived at a test
of our loyalty for our community. We
are the town,-you and | and our
neighbors. It's commercial destiny is
in our hands. It's business opportuni-
ty is what we make it. Our lots are
cast in the sacred atmosphere of love
and loyalty to community advance
ment. AS for us, we are committed to
the public ownership of the electric
light plant because we believe it will
mean most for the community. No
other motive should dominate.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1916-08-02

To the People of Cordele:-You are
to decide by your vote Thursday
whether you are to be the owners of
the electric light plant in connection
with the city water plant. 1t is up to
the qualified voters, to determine this
important question, either for or
against Cordele If you vote for bonds,
then you vote for the best interest Of
your city, as l see it. If you vote
against bonds, then you vote in favor
of a private corporation of New York
city.
A vote for bonds is a vote for Cor
dele and Cordele people A vote
against bonds is a vote against Cor
dele and aginst Cordele people. l am
in favor of the bonds and will cast
my vote for bonds Thursday, for in
doing so l feel that / am serving the
best interest of the city.
The issues have been squarely pre-
sented and a fair discussion had so
that each voter can see just what it

MONEY FOR THE BRIDGE.

1t is not as yet matter sufficiently
developed in the state legislature for
he people of Crisp county to know
Just how much of the federal fund they
are going to have at their disposal but
it is almost certain that there will
be a handsome amount coming to this
county Georgia got the largest ap-
Dortionment of the fund coming to the
southern states and that means that
he people in this county are going to
get a considerable fund.
The highway commission is not yet
| certainty, but the present session of
he legislature must provide such a
commission or lose the fund and that
means that the commission will be
forthcoming There will be some
means of preserving to the state this
large federal road fund. 1t is more
han three million dollars.
Details are to be worked out and
with the fund may come provisions
as to how it shall be spent. But Crisp
county will get it's portion in some way
and when it does come, it will be such
an amount as will go long way to-
wards supplying what will be needed
to construct bridge across Flint
River at Huguenin's Ferry The fed
eral fund may never become available
for this specific purpose, but when it
becomes a local fund for our roads,
other portions of our own money can
be used to construct the bridge and
the county commissioners ought to be
setting their stakes to that end now.
Sumter and Dooly county commits
;ioners were busy again Tuesday of
the present week On plans to get a
bridge over Flint river at Murray's.
Sumter is not going to help us, nor
can the commissioners of that county
be blamed for their efforts to hold for
Americus every dollar of trade along
the Flint river that they can retain.
It will be our business to construct
the bridge at Huguenins and the soon
err we do it the sooner will we add
great wealth in Cordele and thereby
make Crisp far more wealth county.
Americus knows the value of the trade
dong the Flint river. When we begin
u proper appreciation of it, the bridge

OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS.

Chatham county is just now inter
ested in a general movement for the
betterment of its rural schools. A new
system of providing funds for main
tanning these schools is to be launched
and theNformer lack of interest in the
country schools is warming into gen
orally strong enthusiasm. 1t will mean
a country school in every way as we'll
cared for as the city school and the
country boy and girl will get what is
due them in the way of an education
The rural school problem is the
greatest problem in American educa-
ton. 1t demands4the best thought and
effort of our educators, business and
professional men and one of the great
est things good men can do in Crisp
county is to work out satisfactory
plan for elevating the country school
to its proper and greater usefulness.
Our purpose ought 10 be to bring
equal opportunity for education to ev-
cry boy and girl in Crisp county, in
the country as wer as in the town. A
number of the public spirited farmers
of Chatham have offered for the free
use of the schools teachers home
and from five to fifty acres Of land as
demonstration farm 10 become part
of the property of the school Five or
six of the rural schools are to enjoy
the use of such gifts the coming year.
These have already been pledged, and
the gifts are voluntary.
Our pride in our rural schools is all
good and proper but a false pride, a
pride that gives the country boy and
the country girl a sort of swindle in
the way of real education, will not
measure up in the sure test for real
men and women. The training that

makes believe is dangerous. 1t takes
the boy and girl long time,-often
far too long,-to find that it isn't real
education, efficient training.
Here are some of the agencies for
real education for the country boy and
girl that we haven't to our credit:
l. A school term of not less than
1870 days for each child.
2. A sufficient number of teachers
adequately prepared for their work.
3. Consolidation of rural schools
with an average area of about II
square miles for each school.
4. Teachers home and demonstra-
ton farm from five to fifty acres as
part of the school property. chatham
is planning for these.)
5. An all-year session adapted to To-
cal conditions.
6. A country library with branch
Libraries at the centers of population,
with the schools used as distributing
centers.
Z. Community organization with the
school as the intellectual, industrial,
educational and social center
s. A modern high-school education
for every boy and girl in the country
as well as in The town.

OUR DUTY TOMORROW.

Our duty tomorrow is to our city.
One of our two greatest public service
enterprises is in the hands of private
interests and the profits derived are
converted into diviucnds for j. q.
White & Company, corporation in
the city of New York, The earnings
are handsome The net profits are Of
such consequence as would prove
considerable assistance in helping to
maintain municipal government. With
each year the earnings are growing
until the ownership of this property
will become a matter of greater vital
importance to those who enjoy pos
session. Private owners will in future
fight the harder to retain their enjoy
ment of these profits
Municipalities all over the country
have turned to public ownership of
such public service interests as the
Cordele light and power plant for the
purpose of converting the net profits
into the funds with which government
Is maintained, improvements made,
and schools operated. Good business
requires it.
The city of Cordele contributes a
very large fund out of its municipal
taxes to maintain it's schools when
they should be provided for out of
the county taxes. This burden will
become larger as the schools become
more expensive. The need of the
profits from the water and light fran
chise to defray public expenses will
become greater as the years go by, and
the street lighting bills will become
larger as long as private interests own
the plant.
The time has come when no loyal
citizen can afford to pass up owner
ship of the light and power plant. The
community needs street lipht improve
ment and city white way, but cannot
have either on account of the burden
of increased costs in taxes. 1t can
have both these and besides, furnish
the public lights free of cost 1t can
have profits on its lighting service that
will help meet the public operating
expenses and relieve the school tax to
tsuch an extent that this will no lon
ger\ weigh heavily about the shoulders
of the property owner. Our duty now
is = our city.

At least the candidates are losing
their regard and high esteem for the

General William A. Wright, who has
held his place for forty years, is vet
eran who lost leg in the struggle OF
the sixties. No office holder in the
state has been so long in the hearts
of the people and yet there is a man
now out after him to take away his
office. Public Office belongs to no man
and any citizen qualified has a right
to ask for the old mans place. But

A small bit of effort right now would
insure Cordele and Crisp county one
of the Invest county fairs and live stock
shows ever started in this neck of the
woods. A live stock show is almost
a necessity on account of the great
Importance which is at the present
time attaching to stock raising. The
interest and encouragement that could
be given stock raising in Crisp county
with such a show i'll the fall would be
much out of the ordinary and timely

of pulling business. Has anybody

Soon after the railroad wreck
near Trip a few weeks ago in
which several men were killed and
over thirty injured, States Attorney
Glynn, of Hutchinson county, filed
a complaint with the railroad com.
missioners, charging that the poor
condition of the track was respon-
sible for the wreck, and asking the
commissioners to make an investi-
gaton. The injured men were ia.
Ken to the hospital at Yankton for
treatment and the railroad com.
pany holds that hospital expenses
will have to be paid by Hutchinson
county because the accident hap
pened in that county. MIR. Glynn
will endeavor to show that negli-
gence on the part of the railroad
company was responsible for the
accident and therefore the company
should be responsible for the dam
ages. Mr.. Glynn's claim would be
seem to be logical as the county
should not be held responsible for
the short comings of the company.
If such responsibility does exist,
then the county should have au.
thority to inspect the roadbeds,
and condemn them if found unsafe.

T. r. Porter, a special cores
pondent writing from North Dako.
ia, says that q peculiar condition
politically, prevails in that state.
An organization known as Non
partisan League has been formed,
and 40, 1000 voters have signed an
agreement to vote as a unit, and
vote as their leaders direct. Which
way this vote is to be directed is
not>Syet known. We can hardly
believe that there are 10000 such
dupes in a state like North Dakota.
If true it simply means that a few
shrewd leaders have corralled this
vote to be used to feather their own
nests, and the fact that they are
still undecided how they will direct
the vote indicates that they are
open for bids.
