WOMAN AS A VOTER.

The representative woman of today
links very little of her future pros
,ects of exercising the right of suf-
fraEe and is really among those who
give the matter the least considera-
ton, but at the same time she is now
more nearly clothed with the ballot
han ever before and she will eventu-
ally be voter.
Woman suffrage will spread over
his country far more rapidly than
The reason that universal suffrage
more nearly conforms to our funda-
mental idea of free government The
democratic preference for popular gov
arrment and the American disposition
o elevate woman to practical equal
'oC ing with man are two principles
which stands strongly to the advan-
as, of those who would extend the
voting power to the woman.
The movement succeeds wherever
t is supported by representative wo-
mon. The suffragette of the type that
stands guard today at the gates of the
Willie House does not strengthen suf-
trace claims among those who must
really exercise the ballot when it
s riven to the women.
The modern suffragette is but delay
ms the time when the American wo-
mcn will cast her vote and only sue,
cecls in heaping redicule upon the
aause she thinks she is fighting for.
States that have woman suffrage got
it through the efforts of the represen-
tatiye women. Others will get it the
Same way, and it is coming.
II seems to us the coming of our wo-
M l into the exercise of the ballot
would in most instances clarity the at
nlcsphere on election days and attach
dignity to the duty of choosing public
officials. without detracting from any
TO her qualifications as a mere wo-
man
We know what the good mothers of
orr boyhood days would think about
it but we also know very we'll the kind
of voting they would do. Don't say
they wouldn't vote. They would. That
is the record in states that now have
woman suffrage.
The day is not far distant when the

MAKE 1T JUDGE wHIPPLE.

Judge u V. Whipple is a man whose
past record should not stand in the
way of his elevation to the federal
bench. Politically he has not been of
fensive and while he is the kind of
man that can have decided convictions,
he has a fine appreciation of the rights
of the other side. Senators Hardwick
and Smith certainly cannot place fin
ger on any part of his record and say
here or there his appointment might
prove personally offensive
Judge Whipple has been 26 years
an active lawyer and ten years of this
time he sent in judicial service that
made him strong in the eyes of the
people for women he labored. He is a
man of whom this community is in
tensely proud, appointment or no ap
ointment, and if official Washington
knew his standing and his qualifica,
tions, he would get the place.
Each individual endorsement from
here and from friends throughout the
southern district will become a testi-
monial of inestimable worth to him in
his efforts to get the place. No one
of us should lose a moments time in
piling up endorsements. Let it not
be said of any one that slothfulness
and inactivity has weighed against our
man. Opinions are being formed in
Washington and Judge Whipple's
chances certainly will be strengthened
accordingly as we storm the capital
with real endorsement. If he wins,
we must be working and working
fast
Our man is worthy of the place and
the appointment is a distinction the
community was never before so close
to realizing.

THE NEW WAY.

The Moultrie Observer Says:
Thomasville announces the ship
ment of six carloads of cows and hogs
The past few days, and as for Boston
md Quitman the railroad yards there
have not been clear of hogs the whole
season. The shipment of hogs has be-
come so common in Brooks county
that no more attention is given to it
than to shipping cotton.
In Telfair county there has been
marketed fifteen cars of hogs and
cows already, and there will be a doz-
en- more cars this season. Dawson,
cambridge, Triton, Valdosta, Cordele,
Fitzgerald and practically every south
Georgia town has its own story of big
shipments of cows, hogs, corn, peanuts
and velvet beans. s.
The diversified era is here, and if
the rate of increase is kept up for
Two more years the cotton crop will
be secondary, boil weevil or no boil
weevil.

DO WE DESERVE THIS?

When the lady representatives of
the Fort Early chapter. d. A. R., went
to Quitman last week, they were as
tonished at the statewide reputation
Cordele has for real getup-and-get
There was general comment from the
other delegates from all over the state
regarding the pluck and the energy
manifested here owing to the fact that
the ladies here have the first and the
only electrically lighted American flag
gracing a public building. In one of
the journals of national reputation
was an article exploiting patriotic
pride and the community building
spirit in Cordele The state regent
said she had a number of congratula-
tory letters and kilograms about that
flag and when she began to suggest
that ladies here must have splendid sup
port from the men the said ladies be-
came rather embarrassed and then
smiled secretly a smile of satisfac-
ton. for they knew the public was
looking at Cordele while Cordee had
on her Sunday clothes.
The the ladies had cause to be-
come embarrassed. for number of
the state regents declared they were
coming by Cordele to see that flag.
And they did come by The cause of
the uneasiness was the fact that the
flag wasn't even lighted. 1t frighten-
ed our delegates when the regents
avowed they were coming, And while
they bravely extended a warm wei.
come, they at once set to work to get
the flag going again. 1t was much of
task, but it would have been the ruin
of our fine reputation if the visitors
had ben permitted 10 find the flag in
the darkness.
All the details of how the lights
were started again would make inter
esting reading, but that isn't our pur-
pose. The proper authorities know
whose duty it is to keep up that flags
lights. Wouldn't it be wise to put
this in the not-to-be-neglected list so
that we may deserve the fine name we
have abroad? In spite of our off days.
We are a fine community and the out
side world can never think too well of
U.S.

COUNTY FAIR AGAIN.

The farmers of the county are go
ing to join with the business men of
Cordele in holding a county fair next
TALL. This thing is already pretty well
settled 1t is now matter OF going
ahead with the plans. Some manner
Of procedure should be inaugurated

hat will enable the farmers and stock
.aisers to show each other what they
ave done during the season. The
county cannot afford to pass the year
Without the fair. 1t means too much.
The Dispatch has on a former oc-
aston called attention to the great
enthusiasm that is always created by
he fair. II we are given an oppor-
unity to show to our home people the
best there is from our years work, the
show will mean an awakening. What
)ne of us has seen another Of us ac-
,omplish is the very kind Of evidence
t takes to make everybody progress
siye and Industrious. The fair puts
new life into every line of business.
II makes better farmers, stock raisers
and business men, and since that is
our aim, let us not pass up another oc-
casion for fair. 1t is going to take
the whole community and the entire
county to conduct a fair that will in
still the new life we want. Let us get
Al ii with the idea that it will add
more business in the store, fill the
barns with heavier harvests, and give
rs better and cheaper methods Of pro
1ucng hogs and cattle for the mar
tet. The fair will put a hundred en-
'husiastic workers in the place of ev-
cry ten and thus eventually make us
an industrial community with a
strength that nothing can shake.
Cur plan must be worked out and
started without delay. Let us pledge
ourselves to get together early and dis
tribute the various duties among us
50 that no few men will have to take
up all the arduous labors and spend
IN unfair portion of time trying to
make the fair a success. Every citi-
zen is bound to the task.

ASSURING A MARKET.

|
are just now full of accounts of ship
ments of hogs and cattle, peanuts,
corn and velvet beans. Ten years ago
such reading would have been strange
indeed. But diversification is becom-
| ing the fashion and with diYersification
| is coming new era in farming. 1t
will ultimately mean the independence
of the man owning and operating the
farm.
Farming is now more than hired
man's job. Even the tenant is get
ting more acquainted with his calling
and more in love with it. Big men
are beginning to study it, for dreams
of wealth in our fields, our stock and
their products make the palm itch.
Talk of factories when you have
nothing else to do. The factories are
to be ours some day when we put our
money in them and operate them our
selves. This is an agricultural sec
ton and there is such an interdepend-
ence as to make it necessary for ev
erybody to be first interested in
full field in the fields at less cost Of
production.
We must join our farmers in provid-
ing a good market for the products of
the farm We will have million bush
els of peanuts in our county for sale
next fall. We will have full train
load of cattle and hogs two to three
years hence to offer the packing house.
Our velvet beans and corn will be Of
fered next season in abundance.
The farmer wants some place to sell
what he can produce on the farm and
if YOU will assure him that he can get
living price for it, he will be up work
ing sooner and he will come with a
larger yield.
Cordele as the logical commercial
center of wide territory where good
farming is already we'll under way,
should pledge itself to find a good
market for any product that goes beg
ging, if anything should have to go
begging. That would help wonderful
ly.
Our cotton oil mills are pledging
| themselves to buy all the peanuts that
can be offered. There is sure to be a
great demand for all the hogs and cat
| tie that can be offered. There" is a
cash market all the year for the meat
we can produce. Moultrie, Jackson
will, Memphis, Macon, Triton, Way
cross, and Statesboro will be bidding
for our live stock and we need not
fear about being able to sell at a good
price.
Locally we can take care Of the
wheat and some of the corn, but the
velvet bean is yet to have a local
market developed. 1t can be sold in
car lots and shipped, but the demand
is for local feed mill that can pre-
pare the beans in a mixed feed.
And again the dairy products for
which there is now such a keen de-
mand should be provided for, because
this is product which will be large
~ increased with the development of
The stock feed raising. We need the
creamery to absorb the dairy products.
This would add means of making
more money with little effort on the
| farm, and it would help wonderfully
in the change from the all cotton crop.
