Heavy Storm Sweeps Lower
County, Devasting Property

Annapolis was visited by another
storm yesterday afternoon which, for
a time. looked as though it would be
heavy The worst of it, however,
seemed to pass around all sections of
the city Considerable damage was
done to property and crops in the
lower section of the county, according
to reports reaching the city today
The storm was like a cyclone, it is
said, and it travelled in a narrow path,
the greatest resulting damage being
in the vicinity of Lothian. Trees were
uprooted, corn fields leveled to the
ground, and a number of farm build
ings wrecked
Among the heaviest sufferers was
Mr. Isaac s. Nutwell, the Democratic
politician Of the Eighth District. whose
farms is said to have been literally
deyasted.
The storm in fact confined itself
entirely to the farm of Mr. Nutwell.
according to later reports received
here this afternoon The cyclone is
described as the movement Of
bouncing rubber ball The wind blew
down tenement house on the farm
and a colored woman who was in the
house at the time was knocked down
and suffered a fracture of the shoulder.
The wind tore out the flooring in
another building and carried it
away. Not a piece of the timber has
since been seen. A few straws is all
that remains of eight stacks of hay
that were standing in the field Mr.
Nutwell estimates his damage at
about 81 600

FLINT-ocMULeEE CANAL.

Who has thought about Congressman Parks
Woodrow Wilson Canal?" Does it occur to yot
that this daring member of congress would dig a
canal through from the Flint to the Ocmulgee River
say for instance, along the Blackshear road right
through Cordee? ooh, no, now, please do not
worry about its being ditch and all like that
What put such dream in the head OF such con-
gresham?
1t may be his laugh if he ever accomplishes the
feat. He has the governments promise to make
survey and report the feasibility of such
plan. He wants river Shipping to come across this
way from the Ocmulgee and down the Flint.
In this day of wonders such men as Congressman
Park do things 1t need not be considered such
huge joke. 1t need not be anybody's pipe dream
need it be said that Congressman Park is crazy
canal for river shipping that would join the
Ocmulgee from Abbeville with the Flint just op
pose Cordele is no small project and an idea of no
small significance. Canal builders may have diff
ferent ideas about it when they come, but the topo
graphy of the country doesn't seem bad for such
thing at all Who knows but there will be some
thing like this to interest us after the war is over?

URGE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

Ministers urged to preach on the Importance
of school attendance patriotic duty this year,
and Sunday School superintendent and leaders of
are asked to make school attendance special topic
In a letter addressed by the Commissioner of Edu-
cation to churches and religious papers throughout
the United States, in urging the churches to help
in the campaign for greater school attendance, DR..
Claxton says:
at is of the greatest Importance that the schools
of the United States of all kinds and grades-pub-
lie, private and parochial-be maintained during
the war without any lowering of their standards or
falling off in their attendance.
This is necessary both for the protection of our
boys and girls against many unusual temptations
to delinquences of various kinds and that they may
have full opportunity for preparation for the work
of life and for the duties and responsibilities of citi-
zenship; all of which will require higher degree
of preparation because of the war.
For many reasons there will be, need in this
country for higher standards in average of ability
in schools have reached manhood and woman
knowledge, and virtue, when the boys and girls now
hood than we any other people have yet attain
ed to- a8E
'ln the making of public opinion and popular SEN
timent necessary for the maintenance of standards
of efficiency, to keep children in the schools and to
prevent their exploitation in the mills and shops
the churches may do much. l am therefore appeal
ing to all ministers to urge this from their pulpts
and to all superintendent of Sunday Schools and
all leaders of young peoples societies to have this
matter discussed in their meetings.
'To do this is patriotic duty which should be
performed gladly, both for the present defence and
for the future welfare of the country"

noon hour once week, and will begin October LIST
There will be fveminute addresses touching the
advancement of the commercial interests of that

occupy only the time that would be given to the

That such thing will mean great business en-.
thusiasm cannot be doubted. community the size
of Cordele ought at least once a week to- discuss
anCng its leading bushes all the ideas for pro-
motion of business as affects the community in
gel eral This done faithfully and sincerely will add
great business volume.
No need to stop and discuss the possibilities Of
gcinE ahead with such thing. 1t ought OF be tried
with view OF bringing business results. 1t will.
Almost any man will pull some if he knows it is
going to add the prospects of grea,er profit to his
business. 1t doesn't matter that we are now busy
We want to stay busy and to do So consistent bus
mess planning must be done by those who make
the volume of trade for the city and look out for

A LESSON In PEANUTS.

The Cordele Dispatch cites as lesson in pea
nuts" that a Crisp county farmer has 800 acres in
COOLERS which he expects yield Of $4,000 to
10000 bushels estimated to be worth $4,000 be-
sides $4,000 worth of hay giving him a 10000
crop and approximately 500 per acre
We have a lesson in peanuts on practically ev-
cry farm here in Terrell county, and a tremendous
yield is expected from this crop The work of
gathering them which is already actively under
way, is giving employment to large number of
laborers.
Some of the show places out from Dawson are
fields of two to seven hundred acres in peanuts,
and in every direction one may see fields in which
the vines of nuts are already stacked and brown.
The oil mills of the city are prepared to take
care of the crop, and the good prices prevailing
make it important that there be no waste in har,
vestng and neutrality-suspicious. News
And while are writing about the topic pea.
nuts and COOLERS two different things. Did
the editor of the Dawson News ever see real
goober? We have and it is so different from "a
peanut that using the two words as SYNONYMOUS
seems out of line for a man in peanut country.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

From the Macon County Citizen:
The local newspaper beats the world as an ad-
yertisng medium. A handful attracts attention
by accident. The newspaper carries your mes
sage to waiting audience. The fence rail ad is a
corpse that can only be looked on by a few neigh
bors who have to go near it, The newspaper adj
vertisement goes into the home takes its seat in
the family circle and talks right to the hundreds of
people who pay for that kind of entertainment They
love the family newspaper and read it with con-
fdence. Nothing equals good live newspaper
when it comes to reaching the people
