CAME TO LOG ROLLING
AND WERE MARRIED

Since Thursday Miss Fula Burke and
Mr.. Robert Sangster, popular young
couple of Vienna, have had secret
all their own. There was only one
other who knew, and they pledged him
not to tell. He is minister, and he
kept his pledge. Secrets are difficult
to keep, and the young couple did not
expect to keep it long. They had no
inclination to do so, and no one knew
until they told it themselves, which
they did today.
Miss Burke and Mr.. Sangster were
married Thursday evening at eight
o'clock, the ceremony being performed
by Rev. ]. II. Coin, pastor OF the FIRST
Baptist church of this city at his home.
They came down under pretense OF
witnessing the night features of the

of pleasure was not their primary OBJ

SLIGHT DAMAGE
CAUSED BY rain
TEN PER CENT WILL COVER LOSS
TO cOTTON-ROADS BEING PUT
IN GOOD CONDITION AGAIN.

While the rains of the past few days
have brought about somewhat doubt
full conditions, the consensus of opin-
ion among the farmers of Crisp is that
the crops have recovered from the ear
ly rainy season and the percentage of
damage was not as large as was at first
anticipated. Ten per cent will take
care of the damage TO the cotton crop
that has already been done by the ex-
cessive rains, while practically no dam
age has occurred to the corn except
that done by strong winds, which have
almost invaribly accompanied the
rains.
Bridges on the county's highways
have again been placed in good con-
dition, and reports from all sections
of the county during the latter part
Of the past week is that the high wa
tiers are receding rapidly. Passage by
bridge and ferry over Flint river and
other larger streams can now be af-
fected at all points of accustomed trav-
ell in this section. The roads of the
county have been dragged and are
now in substantial condition after the
washing rains of the past three weeks.

HOUSE WOULD ADMIT
WOMEN TO THE BAR
BURWELL INTRODUCES BILL AU-
THORIZING SALE OF w. G. A.
SOLONS EXCHANGE WORDS.

Atlanta, July 21.-If the senate
backs up the house in its action to-
day, women will be allowed to prac-
tce law in Georgia after the present
legislative session, and in spite Of the
veto put upon it by the members of
the Georgia bar in their recent con
vention at Tybee.
After two days of debate the house
passed the bill by the large majority
Of 131 to SO. During the debate the
gallery was crowded with women who
listened intently and were inclined at
times to applaud. 1t was all Speaker
Burwell could do to keep down this
sort of demonstration. Beck Of Muir
ray, for the bill, said he regretted
the matter had always been treated
rather with levity than seriousness.
Women, he declared, had made good
in every calling and there were many
of them who would make as good law
yers as men. Since they are compelled
at times to earn their own living ev-
cry profession should be open to them.

CORDELE BALL TEAM

UNSUSPECTlNG FANS.

Local baseball received a severe
shaking-up Saturday morning and the
big 4" league got a jolt when it was
announced that the Cordele team had
been forced to disband on account of
insufficient funds to operate through
the remainder of the schedule, which
closes on August 5. The manage
ment of the club has anticipated the
impending outcome of disarmament
for some time, though have come to
the realization very reluctantly. The
obligations of the organization have
been growing steadily, and every eff
tort was made to ledge against eX-
pense and increase the income, but
without avail. To disband, pay up all
of the players in full to date and meet
all obligations by the closest margin,
or take the only alternative of con-
;inuing under conditions that were on
ly gloomy and calculated to heap up
more debt without augmenting the
strength of the team where it would
have a fighting chance, were the only
two things left to be done when the
situation was summed up in total by
the management Saturday

SAVE The CAR;
Let THE BOY GO
SHERIFF WARD, LOOKING FOR
STOLEN FORD, GETS POINTED
MESSAGE FROM BANK PRESi-
DENT.

A telephone call from Arab a few
days ago to Sheriff Ward was to the
effect that his official services were
needed in the vicinity of that town.
The message was from Walter Patter-
son, marshal, and was occasioned by
the suspicious actions of two young
men who were riding about in five
passenger Ford. One of the young
men who claimed to own the car had
proposed deal with an Arab citizen
whereby he was going to exchange the
five-passenger body of the automobile
for a cut-down affair and $500 on the
side. The deal had gone through when
the sheriff arrived on the scene.
Who were the young men and from
whence they come, and to whom did
the car belong? These questions and
more the sheriff put to the boys in
rapid succession The young man who
was in possession of the machine
came clean" with the officer. He sail
that the car belonged to his mother,
that his brother was president of
bank in nearby Georgia town, and
that he felt like he had perfect right
to do with the car what he wanted to.
In the meantime the sheriff had
wired to Secretary of State Phil Cook
for the name of the person whose ma
chine carried the license tax of 50O1.
He also phoned the president of the
bank in the town named by the young
man. The reply of Secretary COOK
proved the correctness of the state
ment of the young man, as to the
ownership of the car, and the phone
message from the bank president con-
firmed the statement as to his being
the brother of the young man.
what shall | do with the boy?'
asked the sheriff.
Save all parts of the car and let
the boy go to Il" was the bank
presidents reply.

OR Tsp RAISED Bread
FOR Big CROWD
THE RUSH CAUSED BAKERS TO
SECURE HOMEMADE FLOUR
AND THE BREAD PROVED DELI
CIOUS.

The rich flavor of breads made from
home-raised and honie-ground wheat
came first hand to number of Cor
dele and Crisp county citizens last
week who had never taken occasion
before to learn that it is the best bread
in the world
The great demand for bread to feed
the thousands at the Log Rolling
Thursday and the increased demands
throughout the city and section upon
the local bakeries, caused the supply
of flour at one of these enterprises to
be exhausted before the demand was
half supplied. A large quantity of
home-ground flour was secured, and
while it was found necessary to use
some different methods in baking, it
made fine breads of all kinds, and no
difficulty was found for the sale of
it in the baked products.
The production of wheat has grown
more profitable and has come more
and more into favor from year to year
until Crisp now raises as large crop
of wheat as any other county in the
state, the demand both locally and
abroad is far greater than can be sup
Piled. Hundreds are eating biscuit
from home-raised flour this year who

railroads should file their evidence
and testimony and that then the ship
pers should be given period of three
months in which to prepare their an
swer.
Commissioner of agriculture, ]. D.
Price, appeared before the shippers
and stated among other things that
the proposed rate increases would
mean an added expense of 100000 to
the farmers of Georgia on fertilizers

Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified .cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any, thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily. removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and 1t leaves the scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy 10 manage.
 You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. it's very cheap. and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

PLAINTIFF BARRED
 FROM FASTENING
 IN STATION CASE.

COLORADO SPRINGS. May 1s.- Mrs. Sophia Gertrude Chellew, who is suing in the county court to estab- fish her claim as widow of the late Winfield Scott Stratton, millionaire mining man, to one half of the Strat. ton estate, was declared an interest ed party and an incompetent witness in the trial of the case today before Judge W. P. Kinney. who declined to allow her to testify.
 The defense scored another victory when R. L. Parker, of Texas, was barred on the same grounds, evidence being added to show that Mrs. Chel- lew had entered into a contract with Parker promising one fourth of what she received in return for his assist ance. This contract, Judge Kinney declared, was entered into several years ago, but no attempt had been made to press the claim until re- gently.
