BERLIN HAS BECOME
CITY OF DISORDER
PAPER NOW DECLARES

From a city of order Berlin is be-
ginning to become city of disorder,as
a long and bitter report in the Berlin
Tageblatte clearly shows. In the rail
way forwarding departments there is
chaos, the paper says. Endless pack
ages, trunks, parcels of all descrip-
tons are stored there in HOPELESS dis
order; many have been stolen or
lost. The public accuss the new
officials of stealing them; the offiic-
ials Say that the thefts were due TO
dishonest cabdrivers and untrust-
worthy forwarding agents. The
great Berlin forwarding agency de-
clares that paroles of all descriptions
are stolen by thieves while the con-
veyancas are passing through the
streets. The agency in all soberness
makes the astounding statement that
all Berlin is full of thieves, convicted
criminals who have been refused adj
mission into the army, serving to
make the streets thoroughly unsafe.
Another forwarding company says
that it is useless to bring charges
against the dishonest drivers, as
there are so many of them that the
crown prosecutor has given it up as
a bad job.

MORE COAL. EXCITEMENT
AND ALL FOR NOTHING

Atlanta, Ca. Oct. 23.-Dr l.. G.
Hardman, state fuel administrator
for Georgia, will hold conference in
Atlanta tomorrow "wednesday af-
ternoon with the members of the
state advisory committee, concerning
the coal situation in this state.
Atlanta's supply of coal is running
dangerously low. Practically no users
of domestic coal, except wealthy peo-
pie to whom price is no object, have
laid in their winters supply. The
city government has less than a
months supply on hand, and no con-
tract to fall back on Several city
institutions, such as hospitals, police
headquarters, etc. are running on a
hand-to-mouth basis.
To consider the situation here and
in other cities, DR.. Hardman has cali
ed meeting of the advisory commit
tee, which is composed of five citi-
zens appointed by him. A community
needing coal, and failing to get it,
must apply to the fuel administrator
for the state, who in Georgia is Dr.
Hardman. On his requisition to
Washington, the necessary coal sup
ply will be shipped No coal can be
obtained in any other manner.

CATTLE. FORTUNE
c. L. WILLIAMS, %Ucr NORTH OF
TOWN, is SELLING MORE THAN
$4,000 THIS SEAc0N

Raising the mortgage in one sea,
son with cattle is not a little task,
but this is very nearly what G. l..
Williams has done with short horn
stock this fall. He has q herd that
is going to hit above ten thousand
dollars in selling value,-for the cattle
that will be sold froh his place. OF
course, this does not mean that all
of them will go. Between $1,000 and
$4,000 will be realized on the cattle
that Mr. Williams will sell.
He is cattle enthusiast as well
as a progressive farmer and he is
finding great possibilities in cattle
raising. He is going to make the
next season count for even more and
ii is practically certain that unless
there are unforeseen obstacles he will
have a snug fortune coming next sea

ALDERMANIC CANDIDATES

Rumor has it that three men, G. B.
Wilkes, Dekle, and G. c. Lewis are
picked to make the race for council
in the November election. No one
has dared to say where the rumor
started and no one fthe three men
has said a word about whether he in
tends to get into the race for the Of
fee
1t is now nearly time to begin lay
ing plans for the election and friends
of these three men are talking very
strongly of their running. Whether
any one of the three will be in the
race is not as yet determied,-no so
the general public can be told about

WAR in AIR BEING
REVOLUTIONIzED
USING HEAVIER MAcHiNEs--NEc-
EssARY TO CHANGE PROGRAM
or WAR DEPARTMENT.

Washington, DC, Oct 22,-The
day of thrilling air dues between
individual avieto-s of the fighting
line in Europe seems to be passing.
Official advices received here have
shown increasing use of heavier ma
chimes and greater armament, and
the development of az machines
and the development of air machines
appears 10 be rarallciing closely the
development OF fighting ships.
There are Indicators that amend
ment already has been necessary
in The program for creating the huge
air fleets provided for by congress.
While there is no lack Of small
fighting planes, it is probable that
stress is being laid cn the bombing
craft and uron increasing the speed
of these heavier machines and giving
them adequate armament.
Already the engineers who de-
signed the Liberty motor are AT work
on plans for even mere powerful en-
gines, it is understood. A. the
same time the Liberty motor Is
now is being produced at a rate that
assures a sufficient supply when Amer
lean filters are assembled in forces
over the fighting lines.
There have been rumors Of great
German aircraft soon to make their
appearance and officials believe that
the Germans are impressed with the
machines in which fighting power
takes the place of high speed. The
production of training machines, 1t
is understood, is the only element OF
the aircraft problem that is tagging
behind schedule.
New supply sources for the train
ing machine are shortly to begin
making deliveries The first of the
year probably will see the entire pro-
gram abreast or ahead of it's schedule.
There has been little delay in the
training or aviators and many have
all ready been sent abroad after pre-
liminary instruction, to get proper
flying experience.

AT ATL.AlNT
LOCAL BEE MAN MADE HONEY
EXHIBIT AND CREDITED 1T
CRISP

j. J. Wilder, local bee keeepr, had
the one lone exhibit at the Southeas-
tern fair in Atlanta from this county.
It has a honey exhibit that was in
deed credit to Crisp and for the
love of his home county he put up
the name of Crisp in large letters
over the booth where the fine honey
products we're on display. 1t won
considerable comment and inquiry
and was an advertisement Of no lit
tie value to the county.
The honey exhibit put on by Mr..
Wilder was at first simply intended
as a display for his own purposes, but
he later changed it SO as to carry
with the display the name of Crisp
county and that helped give the coun-
ty the credit for quite honey out

that another community so nearly

such a handsome figure. 1t cannot
be doubted that there is a splendid

FAIR NOW UNDER FULL HEAD
WAY-To RUN THROUGH
FRIDAY.

This is Crisp County Fair Week!
For seven or eight months those who
have desired to have splendid fair
here have worked and the showing that
is being made at the fair grounds at
the baseball park is an excellent one
in every way. The farmers and bust
ness men of all the county have in
one way or another had to do with
the show that is now on and as a re-
suit one Of the best fairs in this sec
ton of the state is under way.
1t took extremely brad work to get
a creditable showing in agricultural
exhibits and live stock, but both de-
partments are coming up fine and the
people who are going to attend to-
morrow and Friday are going to find
themselves agreeably surprised.
President R. L. Dekle and his corps
of assistants are beginning to feel
that their fullest hopes are coming
in the two days. The fair is in every
way worth an inspection and no far
mer, business man or individual in
Crisp county can afford to pass the
show. 1t is a, good one.
There are so many things that will
be displayed and there are so many
departments to be represented in the
parade for Friday that it would be
impossible to enumerate them. It
will take a live one to keep up with
all of it. 1t is certain that the re-
mainder of the present week is to be
eventful and Friday, especially, will
be big day.
There is very fine show Of live
stock. This came up to expectations
in every way. 1t will be worth com
ing miles to see.
Tomorrow and Friday special
trains VIII coGae in from Albany over
the Georgia Southwestern & Gulf Rail-
way and over other lines special rail
rates are granted.
People from all sections of the coun-
try are to come during the show and
the weather man must have promised
somebody that he would be unusually
good. The pretty, fine weather will
make it possible for large numbers
of people to attend.
The pageant staged for eight
o'clock. Friday evening has been
brought up to $50 o'clock and this
sto be one of the real attractions.
Nothing like it has been seen here or
in this part of the state and nobody
should miss it. Mrs. E. M. Espy and
the scores of young people, boys and
girls of the county and city who are
to take part, are ready for the SPLEEN
did event and it promises much of vi
tai interest to everybody.
Nobody should miss the fair.
