eight accused persons had Dentered

MAN CHANGES HIS MIND ABOUT

Editor Dispatch: Some people are
so alfred selfish that should they
see a good thing, they keep it to
themselves; or if they have more
than they can use, they will allow
the surplus to spoil on their hands
rather than divide with those not so
fortunate-thus ignorance exists and
want abounds. If | see a good thing
want TO tell others of it.
For many years this writer has
been in the habit of spending the
winters in South Georgia-Tifton
Fitzgerald, Albany, Brunswick, et
al, but this is his first time to stop
in the capital of Crisp county, and to
be candid, had no inclination to do
so, owing to an opinion formed Of the
city as seen from passing trains.

will | judge a town from it's railroad

Here l find thrift and plenty of it;
mercantile establishments that not
only abound with heavy and upto-date
stocks, but they are manned by men
in aevry sense of the word. I find
streets that are as straight as the
proverbial "bee martins route to his
gourd," bordered by homes that are
not only of the latest architectural de-
signs, but are neat and we'll kept
find churches that would do honor
10 any city thrice her size and a
school building surprising anything
in the days of our greatest departed
statesmen; a fre-fghting apparatus
of the latest make, thriving banks
and the most prosperous, hustling
farmers that ever titled the soil.
Indeed, stranger, you should get
off your train and pass through the
gates of Cordele before you, as did
the writer, form an opinion as to her
worth as prospective home. Seeing
is believing.

of idle men in Cordele-the day and

ability and tact, yet here they hold

to do.

STATES CAN ORGANIZE
new NATIONAL GUARD
UNITS THUS ORGANIZED NOT
LIKELY TO BE CALLED INTO
FEDERAL SERVICE

Washington, Oct 22-Ncw tat all
the national guard has been aiken
over into federal service, what are
the state to do for all armed force
70 quell disorders within their boun-
daries?
This question has teon put up to
the war department by several states
within the past month. The answer
has been simple.
"Organize new national guard"
Each state may organize its new
guard exactly as though it never had
previously raised one.
The law provides a national guard
of 800 men for each senator and rep
resentative may be recruited. When
the old national guard units were TAX
en- into the federal service they ceas-
ed to be national guardsmen. The
whole national guard force was wiped
out clean, but there remained the
authorization of 800 men for each
member of congress.
Any man who enlists, however, of
age specified in the selective service
law and subsequently called, will
have to respond. In fact, the new ma
tional guard would be subject to call
bodily, as was the old guard. There
is no expectation that such a course
would be followed, however, as the
policy of maintaining our army by the
selective service plan is expected to
be adhered to.
The governments attitude toward
the raising of state guards has been
sought by several states, among them
Texas, Colorado and Ohio

NO EFFORT CONTROL
PRICE OF SEED
WASHINGTON ADVISES COMMAS
S!oNER BROWN FARMERS WILL
HAVE FREE ROPE.

Atlanta, Oct 43.--There will be no
ecrct or the part Of the federal gov
eminent to control or regulate the
price of cCttcn seed, according to
assurance: given by Federal Admin
istra1or eHrbcrt C. Hoover, to the
cc- mittaa representing the cotton
growers of the sou h, which confer
red with him in Washington.
Reprccen. ing Georgia in this con
ference were Commissioner OF Agri-
culture j. j. Brown, Director OF the
Georgia bureau of Markets Lem B,
jackson, and President j. H. Mills
of h. Georgia Farmers Union, who
took the emphatic position that the
law OF supply and demand should
control the situation. Commissioner
Brown PRESENTED the situation as il
exists in Georgia, as being typical
of hat throughout the cotton tnlt.
1--WE were given every assurance
by the fool control department"
Commissioner Brown said upon his
return from Washington, that there
will be no attempt to fix or regulate
the price of Gotten seed. 1t is we'll
known fact hat the hog lard market
has been the controlling factor in the
price of cotton seed oil, and our con-
tention was that there is no occasion
for price regulation at the present
time, because the prices of cotton
seed products are now relatively low
er than those of packing house pro-
ducts such as lard and others.
at was the concesus of opinion of
all the representatives from the cot
ton states that certain rulings made
in Washington, were responsible for
the decline of 500 per ton in cotton
seed in few hours. Southern farm
ers are in no sense selfish or unpat-
riotic, but they have right to and
will demand an even break and that
no discrimination be made against
them.
Personally, l see no reason what
ever why cotton seed should have
fallen below $50 ton. When we
figure the relative value of meat fats
as compared to vegetable fats on an
average for the last ten years, it is
very apparent that price of $50 a
ton is entirely out of line with the
packing house products. Under pres
ent conditions 1 believe our cotton
seed is worth $50 and that our far
mers ought to get it,
There will be five new rulings
adopted by the war department with
in the next few days rlative to the
selective CONSUMPTION act, and in
these it is stated the President will
handle the question of the exemption
from military srvice of those who
are actually needed to operate the
farms
tbs is the assurance Congressman
Frank Park of the Second Georgia
District, in cooperation with whom
Commissioner of Agriculture ]. ].
Brown has working with a view to
bringing about a mitigation of the
present burden which the law has
put upon the farms of this state and
the south.
Congressman Park states that in
these new rulings very careful at
tention will be given by the admins
tration to the matter of relieving the
farms from the hardships which the
selective service law in its present
shape, involves. In view of the pres
ent food situation the administration
realizes the necessity for this course,
and it is believed action according
ly will be taken in the next few days.

have been knocked in the head other restrictive

have been applied to telegraph telephone company off
Gals who diSTegarded the arbitrary order
This not only effort to keep the world in
ignorance Of that which had right know, but
unwaranted interference with the business OF the
telegraph and telephone companies and with that Of the
gathering agencies and the American press 1t
also Illegal and unjustiiable interference with the
government Of the state Of Arizona for Gov. Campbell
when complaint made him the day of the deport
alton that censorship had been applied answered that
he would gladly do what he could but himself
fortunately unable to communicate with the Warren
district
For such high handed proceedings It is hoped ade
quate remedy viii be applied and preferably by Phelps
Dodge company whose higher management surely would
not condone such Illegal and indefensible acts.
