CITIZEN INvENTs
A PEANUT DIGGER
{. 3. JAMES HAS WHAT is TERM
ED A GREAT THING TO HELP
cheaper PEANUT CULTURE.

This little bit of news is not intend
ed as a reflection on the big peanut
digging machines that are now on
the market, but local citizen, E. B.
James, is an inventor OF an implement
that is sure to cause stump jumping
in just this part of the work attach
ing to peanut culture. 1t is a peanut
digger that digs peanuts, picks them
up and shakes them and does it right
now. 1t is light, gets around the
stumps, and keeps on digging. 1t
costs twelve to sixteen dollars and
stands the test on demonstration.
The local inventor has gone to the
manufacture of the implement with
great ardor, his patent is pending and
there are already number of the
larger farmers who have made pur-
chases. The implement is worth see
ing. That such an invention has been
put out by citizen of this community
will be matter of interest to large
numbers of people hereabouts.

METHODIST CHURCH WILL HON.

TIVE MANNER.

Cordele Methodist church will hon.
or all Cordele boys who have joined

q beautiful military scroll containing
all their names. This scroll is to oc.
cupy conspicuous and permanent
place in the church and the honor roll

this scrool for the names Of those who
will go to the field of honor" later.
This scroll is most artistic in eff
feet, having the shield and flags Of
the United States painted across the
top, with border OF red, white land
blue extending down the sides, ana
across the bottom crossed cannon. The
names are hand painted in clear, read
able letters, and all mounted in an

Municipal Flag
w as Torn To
Pieces By Auto

Som ebody put great big obstcrc
ton in the way of the proper display
of local patriotism two nights ago
when the municipal flag was torn up,
Whoever was that unpatriotic did not
take time to leave his name and did
not replace the flag. Those who went
to the task of replacing the flag are
still waiting for somebody to come up
and say who did it and put down
some perfectly good locking money
it took to replace Old Glory. 1t is a
bad thought to have,-when one
knows how badly the flag was mis-
treated. 1t hardly. had the semblance
of an American flag when an effort
was made to hoist it Thursday morn
ing. 1t wouldn't go up. 1t was in
pieces.
There is no arrangement for rails
ing and lowering the flag morning
and night. Whep it comes down, it US
ually is handled by somebody who out
OF kindness of his heart tries to help
observe regulations Whoever lowered
it Wednesday night, failed to tie it uE
properly, it is supposed, and possibly
an automobile, turning too close ir
the night became entangled in the flag
and DESTROYED il.
But the flag is flying again.

Mrs. T. J. Durrett writes a most in
teresting account Of visit TO Fort
Mcpherson last week where she saw
the real American soldier in training.
What she had to say of it follows:
In answer to an urgent letter, from
very ner relative, requesting my i'm
mediate presence in Atlanta and at
Fort Mcpherson, | boarded the next
train bound for this Officers Training
camp.
BY my side an this trip, was an
other Cordele lady going on a like
mission to see like near relative.
Arriving in Atlanta we went direct
to hotel, registered, left our baggage
and at the earliest possible minute
reached the gates of Fort Mcpherson,
These gates are opened to visitors
only for the three hours daily,-from
AGO till 1880. Automobiles we're park
ed along an entire block before the
entrance into the Fort and throngs of
people waiting, some walking, some on
street cars, all ready Tor the gates
to be unlocked, that they might get
into camp at the earliest possible mo.
ment to see their soldier friends and
relatives.
After making our entrance into the
Fort we wended our way, with this
throng of people, to the Y. NJ, c. A.
building, where we were shown the
bureau of information. Here we gave
our names and the names of the young
men we were trying to locate, their
company etc. Finally, it seemed q
long time to us, we continued to peer
into the faces of many soldiers, they
all looked so much alike, trying to
find our boys, and finally they came
in sight 1t was a real joy to press
the hand Of my own son, to see hin

AMERICA LOANS $1,2oa, 600, GOO


Washington, D. c. July 6.-Addi-
tional loans of 500, 100000 to Great
Britain and $6O,0OO,0OO to Italy to-
day brought the total war loans of
the United States TO the allies to
$1,2O3, 100000
Great Britain has received $685.
100000; Italy 100000; France
100000; Belgium $45,0O0,0OO;
and Serbia $3,OO0,OOO and $780,
100000 has been placed to Russia's
credit.
Russia's quota, however, has not
been formally accepted, as Special
Ambassador Bakhmeteff has not
been formally accredited to accept
the loan. The members of the Rus
sian commission called on Secre-
tary McAdoo today for discussion
of the situation.
It is considered probable that
Russia will ask a credit of approx
mately $4OO,OO0,000 in the near fu-
ture in accordance with the request
of the American railroad commits
sion, which announced today in
Petrograd that $375,OOO,OO0 would
be required to put the Russian rail
roads in shape.

METHODISTS HOLD OPEN AIR
SERVICES DURING SUMMER

made a leading feature of these even
ing hours.
Rev Walter Anthony has announced
that he will not take a summer vaca-
ton, this being his last year in Cor
dele, and in the absence of other pas
tors from the city, an invitation to the
various congregations to worship in
the open air service upon the lawn is
urged. The music will be, for the most
part. of the old fashioned song type;
a large part of it without any instru-
ment. The preaching will be the old
fashioned gospel, simple, pungent, and
intensely evangelistic. The Wednes-
day evening prayer services, and the
Sunday night services will all be held
on the lawn, the hours being eight
O'Clock, as formerly.
Mr. Anthony on being asked what
tne congregation would do in the
event of rain, replied, Don't you think
we Methodist have sense enough to
get out of a shower of rain?" In the
event of rain the congregation will
worship in the building as formerly.
The general public is cordially in
yited to these services A large plat
form to accommodate Singers has been
constructed, and a large chorus is de-
sired.

the club women provide an artistic
program for every Thursday after
neon in the Y. M. c. A. at the Fort.
Everything possible is done for
these young men, during the few
Ecurs of relaxation which they have
each day And they deserve it all;
for although they are all college men,
they are using not only their best
mental faculties, but are developing
wonderfully in physical strength.
They all say: "If we never studied
before we are studying now"
Possibly my civic pride will be ex-
cused when l say that the four Cor
dele boys at the fort will compare IA
vorably with any in the state. l can
see them now as they stand at ''sa-
lutte" during the lowering of the flag,
and whenever the Star Spangled Ban
ner is struck. Indeed l shall for the
balance of my days feel the impulse
to stand at attention" myself, during
the singing or playing OF this our
national song, since witnessing SO Of

Unusual interest attaches to the
announcement that the Methodist con-
gregation of the city will hold all it's
evening services during the summer
months, the weather permitting, in
the open air. Simple and inexpensive,
but comfortable seats which will ac-
commodate some four hundred peo-
pie have been placed upon the lawn
just back of the church building, a
platform for pulpit and chair has been
erected, electric lights have been in
stalled, and everything is in readiness
for the opening service on the lawn
Sunday night.
This feature will no doubt be re-
ceived with pleasure by the people of
Cordele, as the nights in Cordele dur
ing July, August and September, are
frequently so oppressive as to make
attendance upon services in a heated
building trying both upon preacher
and people. Many leading churches
IN the larger cities have resorted to
this feature for some time, and have
found that it increased greatly the
interest and attendance upon the
evening worship.
The services will be entirely infor-
NAL; the men are requested to come,
il desirable, without their coats, and
