OCIlU6Iu6Is
KEEPING THE SABBATH. - A
Forumist advocates the keeping of
Saturday as a day of rest and recrea-
ton instead of Sunday. He claims
we should keep Saturday because of
Gods command. He fails to tell us
what God is. Some claim He is a
personal creator and moral governor
of the universe; others that He is a
principal, a power, a spirit, love, a
personifcatiOn of the universe, a
moral ideal, etc. Some claim there is
no such thing.
The writer of whom l speak claims
it has been said that we should keep
Saturday as the Sabbath. How does
he know this? He doesn't claim to
have heard it. He doesn't cite any
body who ever claimed to have heard
such command. But such command
was once found on a stone or. parch-
ment and was afterWard copied on
paper and compiled along with other
matter in a book called the holy bible
The bible writers furnished no
proof, only made assertions, and as
sertiOns go but little way. Proofs
are wanted. These writer's did not
even sign their names.
So the bible writer's are entitled to
but little consideration and certainly
are not entitled to have their writ
ings considered to be a word of God.
This quaTTeling about days is of no
account to anyone but preachers.

tation, poverty and crime, we should

party, but none of them are available
ION account Of section) as presiden-
tial candidates; so The democratic par
tv is forced to pick it's nominees from
the strongest men of the weakest Sec
tion and this is the main reason why
Mr.. BRYAN reached fame, and is the
reason why there are tens OF thous-
ands in the sSouth who are superior
to Mr.. Bryan, on their merits, in all
things which constitute greatness.
The Georgia campaign is going to
be quiet, and the people are not go
ing to take any deep interest in the
results, as compared with the cam
paigns of the past ten years. The
office of Governor is largely ornamen-
tai, and the people have we'll learned
that he cuts small figure in the max
ing or destruction of state. He is
entirely too much of figure head
and should be given more authority.
Pottle will doubtless give the stu
alton more life and interest than any
of the other candidates. His opening
speech at Warrenton was clear and
to the point, and was a vote-getter.
His stand for education, good roads,
prohibition and law enforcement to
all alike will prove popular and state
ments that he will take sides on any
issue that may arise shows that he
has backbone. This will produce en-
thusiasm in his behalf.
DR.. Hardman is a good campaigner
and his race has been we'll under way
for some weeks, and since the papers
are not keeping up very closely with
him, it may be that there will be some
surprise in store when the votes are
polled. The candidates of the news
papers, however, generally get up the
largest following.

MAKING THE HOME MARKET.

Home grown wheat is now being
rapidly made into flour and this splen-
did product is beginning to make itself
felt as a money saver to the farmer
who planted enough wheat to supply
his and the families of the tenants on
the place. This year it is going fur
Their. 1t is getting into the market
where a larger public can reach it
and it is now possible for the local
merchants to supply very large
trade. ..
The home grown wheat is more
abundant this year than it has ever
been. More farmers have planted and
harvested this crop and still more of
them are becoming interested in rails
ing wheat. This made it possible for
the local merchant and wholesale man
to look for it and lay in such supply
as will enable him to run his flour or
ders for weeks and months.
This opportunity of securing flour
| from home grown wheat ought to be
seized upon by all the merchants
There is unquestionably demand for
it. The people of Cordele alone would
consume more than is grown in Crisp
county if they could get it.
1t is away above anything else in
purity and fine bread-making quality.
Merchants of the larger cities sieZe
upon it and advertise it as a select
article and the housekeepers show an
eagerness' for it. This same course
ought to be followed in Cordele. It's
selling price is largely fixed by that
of the standard flour mills selling in
the local market The consumer has
opportunity to get it at the usual price
of flour and when that is the case, it
is always a better trade.
Housekeepers who have not tried it
will do we'll to inquire of their local
merchants and ascertain if it is pos
sible to get the home made flour. We
have both the home grown wheat and
the local mills that make it. Not a
pound of the flour ought to be allowed
to go away seeking consumption. 1t is
too fine home product to let go beg
ging. Let us be thoughtful and demand
it of our grocer. The difference in
quality will pay for the trouble.

SOMETHING THE LADIES
MIGHT DO.

The city of Cordele has site for
public playground that is ideal in
nearly every appointment. 1t is a
whole city square lying at point be-
yond the district where traffic is con-
gested, out of danger for the little
ones, and still not too far out for the
children of the larger residence sec
ton. This site has been given over
long ago to this purpose and is yet
undeveloped. If the parents here
knew what real play grounds mean to
the children, not one would be left to
oppose the establishment of at least
one good place of the kind. The COM
munity is large enough for two, but
certainly can use one to good pur-
pose. Northern Heights ought to
have a site as we'll located as is the4
in the southern portion of the city
and both ought to be equipped at once.
The ladies of Cordele clubs have in
mind the establishment of club
house on the public square to be used
Jointly for their own interests, so it
has been stated, and they have gone
over plans for the improvement they
wish to make. 1t is their idea to de-
velop beautiful park and maintain it
as care and a charge on the lady
members of the several clubs. This
is a splendid idea.
Investigation might reveal that
while they are at this good work they
could easily devote certain portions
OF the ground to the plots where the
paraphernalia for the amusement of
the children might be placed At a
small cost equipment could be had
that would afford the youngsters long
hours of wholesome amusement and
abundance of outdoor exercises that
would keep red blood coursing through
their little bodies.
The ladies of these clubs can always
be depended upon in matters of this
kind and here is their opportunity for
great good. 1t is a work that will af-
ford satisfaction and pleasure in the
doing. No time should be lost.
The city of Macon has several play
grounds for the children that are well
equipped and conducted with great
satisfaction. The lady club members
here could we'll afford to visit them
and note the good things that could
be had at a comparatively small cost.
Most of the playground recreation in
Macon is elevating and instructive to
the child. The bare, bald, lifeless

square which Cordele has near the
Primitive Baptist church could be
made to speak volumes in the shaping
of the little lives for the future. the
little street tramps would not have
to be urged to spend their hours at
this place. They would be there. Inc
play ground is worth while to them
and to every family.

Candidate Pottle in his Warrenton
address said he would prefer death
to selling the state road were he gov

looking for death to overtake him
soon. He'll come to a day of reck-
oning on that big one, though.

:" ENCOURAGING CAPITAL"

Encouraging capital to invest in le-
gitimate money earning enterprises of
a community is one thing. Encourag-
ing it to come in and take charge OF
the public service interests, to run I'M
til there is a good fat purse to be car
ried away to pay the champagne bills
of thigh life" is quite another thing.
The electric light and power franchise
in Cordele belongs to the public, That
right is guaranteed. We cannot put
it beyond our control for any number
of years, much less for all time. 1t is
a public interest property right that
belongs to all the people, and charge
that is sacred.
1t is public interest that has never
gone begging and never will. The
Cordele Electric Company never came
here to do any act of charity for the
people. 1t came here to make money.
In business that aim was proper, but
it came here with it's eyes open and
took charge on the very heels of an
election that showed four hundred for
public ownership as against four vot-
ers against it, If the Cordele Elec-
trio Company came here with "assur-
ances" and the encouragement of a
former mayor and council it also came
here knowing that as soon as this
community reached a point where it
was able to own it's own plant, that
thing was going to be accomplished.
1t came here knowing that the laws
of Georgia prevented 1T from laying
hands on that properly right of the
people for any sort of definite period
of time.
1t is one thing to let out lighting
and power interests remain in private
hands so that a higher rate can blight
smaller industries and run out capital
to other points where current rs cheap
er. 1t is another thing-altogeth
different thing-for the city to take
charge and operate at rate that will
encourage enterprise and new indus
try to come and invest simply by pro.
viding power at a rate commensurate
with charges made in other centers
Fitzgerald can run away with a new
enterprise seeking a place to operate
cheaply. We are no competitor at all
All capital has to do is to find these
things out And don't you ever for
get it-capital finds it out. This is
one Of its habits
1t is all a mistake to suppose that
know how many motors are humming
all the day long in Cordele? And does
any one know how many more would
bought at a price like that afforded
in nearby towns?
The power bill in the Dispatch plant
is nearly equal to our rentals. Our lin
otype motor is on the lighting current
for which the power company charges
IL cents per killowatt hour This lit
tie motor huns all day long and some
times in the night. The scale pub
lished by the Cordele Electric Com
pany entities us to rate of six cents
per killowatt hour We are being
charged II cents because the company
does not choose to put in another me-
ter. We have been running three
months under this arrangement and
having to pay the bills all the time
under protest. And the thing that hurts
us is the mournfully sad possibility of
no relief We belong to that class
termed "corporations" We are a new
