HALT THE SPEED FIEND.

One of the wonders of present times
is the remarkably large number of es-
capes from auto accidents that have
occurred in this community within
the past few weeks. Seldom a week
passes that does not afford an ac-
counting of the truning over of some
car Careful drivers say they go on
the roads now at great risk on account
of the dare devil driving that is being
done. Frequently a farmer views the
situation with great alarm and it is
often said by those coming to town
with wagons and buggies that they
almost have to take their lives in their
own hands on the roads.
The pity of it all is the fact that the
speed fiend does not take into account
the danger of others when he is risk
ing his own life. The accident to the
load of Cuthbert negroes Monday is
an example. This car was said to
have been running at terrific speed, and
it must have been for the driver not
tohave beenable to make the curve
in the road that he could plainly see
ahead. What might have been the
consequences had other persons been
on that curve?
The Dispatch doen't enjoy painting
bad pictures. 1t is our desire to avoid
the dangers while we can that makes
us speak now. Nemisis certainly is
not on duty now or else somebody
would have already paid for speed
folies in these parts. Think of the
number of close calls. and yet nobody
is dead. Three cars have been turned
upside down on the streets of Cordele
almost within the past month. Some
of the victims went to the hospitals
but no one is apparently even danger
ously hurt, That good luck cannot pre-
vail always. The undertaken will have
business on some of these calls if it
is kept up. The ranks of the speed
tiend grow apace and more drivers
laugh at death as they test the
strength of a powerful motor. That
will not 90. Let us be careful now
while we can and we will be abundant
ly repaid for our efforts.

YOUR SAVING CHANCE.

"a Liberty Bond is diploma in the
school of thrift" declared S. w. Straus,
president of the American Society fer
Thrift, in statement to the members
of that organization. "a subscription
to this issue is the best way to begin
a thrifty life" Secretary McAdoo is
asking for subscriptions from 10000
600 Americans. If he is successful in
this feature of the loan it will mean
that thousands of our citizens have
for the first time in their lives begun
the accumulation of something for old
age or the rainy day.
Let me appeal especially to the
man or woman who has gone along
thus far in life with absolutely moth
ing laid by. Not only does your coun-
try needs our help in this matter but you
need it even more. This Liberty Loan
is going to be a success, for Ameri-
ca knows not how to fail, unless you
arise to this opportunity. A Liberty
bond or two tucked away in a safety
deposit vault will bring you more
pleasure than the same amount in
vested in any other way. Once a
saver always a saver The person
who hasn't enough moral stamina to
save money for such cause as this
is pretty apt to be a failure in life.
Prove your worth and give your own
future a chance by subscribing for this
loan. You need it as much as it needs
you?."

club has been almost completely for

it because the young people of the
community are without anything Of
this kind. Nearly every town in Geor-
gia of the size of Cordele has either
Y. NJ. c. A. association or an athletic
club If we had such thing, we could
never understand then why we have
been without it so long.
And another thing that would com
bine with it and work splendidly on
the city park is playground for the
children. This, too, is greatly needed
In our hurry we should not forget
these needs There are so many ad-
vantages to be derived that the bust
ness men of this community should
get after both and let nothing prevent
their establishment.
The Dispatch is suggesting them
because it realizes the great need of
both. They could be had with little
difficulty. This is a liberal communi-
ty towards such things. And at pres
ent there's no campaign in the way
that should prevent their being estab-
lished We have done no big things
of late towards community advance
ment in these lines, but that is no rea-
son we cannot and would not. There
are several good men in Cordele with
plenty of time to secure both the play
ground and the athletic club They
ought to be out after them. They can
be had for the asking. Let somebody
start the work

MAYBE, WE'RE ALL THIS.

The Cordele Dispatch announces
that it will enter the Daily field and
pledges itself for business co-opera-
ton. Editor Brown is a rip-rearing
son-of-a-gun with an already first-class
publication, and the increase in his
paper only eXemplifies the growth in
its patronage growing out of the
glowing business prospects of this
section of the country.
We are glad that Cordele is located
in the same section as Fitzgerald and
can share our Prosperity. UneQualed
business is the outlook this Fall, and
altho we have a bankrupt court right
here in Fitzgerald for convenience, it
is no longer a road to riches and is
scion travelled of late-Fitzgerald

THE COST OF PROSPERITY.

Here's a story that illustrates, truth
or no truth. A negro girl, a cotton
picker who earned rolls of green backs
i'll the cotton fields came to town for
a pair of shoes. The merchant put
down one of his high tops in perfectly
good style and good shoe, but only
asked $3.50, She tipped them aside
and quickly told the merchant she
wanted a pair of shoes-"Sho Nuf"
shoes He reached into another shelf
and pulled down another $3.50 shoe
and doubled the price asking $500.
To his surprise, the sale was already
made. He wrapped the shoes, took
the money and sent his customer away
rejoicing Another such an illustra-
ton where it took a charge of $500
to land deal with a ten dollar value
passed under the writer's own eye.
OF course. these things are excep-
tons. But they illustrate the tenden-
cy to destructive waste and madness
for an opportunity to spend. The

It's The TRUTH

A Tiff county farmer sold this year
eighty-four hogs which brought with
in few cents of $4,000. The Tifton
Gazette says this was only a portion
of his hog crop and that it paid a
profit so handsome that it eclipsed
cotton as money crop even at 25
cents a pound Not only hogs, but al
most anything the farmer raises now

OFFICIA LORGAN CRISP COUNTY.
THIS is HOPEFUL.


There is a report of mutiny Of the
worst kind among the Germans this
week that has set high officials in
this country on edge. The announce
ment indicates that real trouble in on
the hands of the Kaiser. 1t is limited
that the crews of the undersea boats
are taken by draft from the crews of
the German war ships and the fact
that the allies never permit a word
ever to get back to the Germans re-
garding what becomes of a U-boat
helps wonderfully to depress the
spirit of the seamen who are drafted
for service on the undersea craft.
The announcement this week indi-
Gates that munitions sailors and sea-
men did their work six weeks ago and
& raised such a disturbance as to de-
mand the presence of the Kaiser him
self. Heavy sentences and death pen
alties are not going to stop this thing.
In the trenches it is going on every
day. if we are permitted to presume
that the most natural thing in the
world is happening. The German of
true blood is a game fighter and he is
not going to give ground on small pre-
tense. But the dependable German is
not so numerous now and the German
army leaders are having to depend up
on an inferior fighting machine.
Added to this, the German soldier
knows he is fighting losing battle.
Surrender and munity are no worse
than the sure death to which the sol
diers and sailors are driven in the
trenches and there is going to be more
of this thing
The fact that the United States
government is so vitality interested in
the developments revealed that it
means something. German militarsts
are not going to succeed in keeping
the fighting soldiers in the trenches
on pinched hunger after they find that
they are fighting losing fight. They
are already beginning to find out that
victory for them in the end is about
as far away as heaven is from the leu
tons bloodthirsty haunts.
This is the best sign possible that
there is general breaking down of
the greatest military machine that was
ever perfected in this world Forty
years of systematic planning and
training put Germany far ahead of
any other nation on earth as a fighting
people. No other nation could have
COPIED with Germany. France has de-
livered the most terrific blows in her
own defense that possibly were ever
offered by one nation against another

when history is written, will stand
away above anything else in the an
mails of war-unless there is more of it
to come in this struggle, and there
could be no more like the two fields
just mentioned
German difficulties are going to en-
large rapidly with the armies dissatis-
fed and suffering The men know the
fight must be a useless one. The
whole civilized world has determined
that Germany shall not whit has
almost determined that Germany shall

SEAGULLS ARE
INTRODUCED IN
CRESCENT CITY

HILO. Aug. 31.-When the Mauna
Kea locked at Kuhio wharf yesterday
morning one Of the most prominent
arriving passengers was Judge w. 5.
Wise of Hilo, who has been away on
the mainland for some weeks. The
Judge, while on the coast, thought of
Hilo and Hawaii, and decided to bring
back some seagulls and hberate them
in Hilo waters. Consequently, he col.
lected a couple dozen of the beautiful
birds and managed to bring Il we'll
and sound to Hilo.
AS soon as the Mauna kea locked
the seagulls were released by being
thrown into the water OF the bay. The
! birds at once began to dive and wash
! themselves. They seemed to thor
oughly enjoy themselves and began to
| look around for some small fish for
, breakfast.
The beautiful creatures may make
! these waters their permanent home
and breed and multiply. This would
be great thing for Hawaii, where the
absence of seabird life is so much felt.
Judge Wise also brought down a
consignment of fish which he will re-
lease in suitable localities where they
can become accustomed to the change
in temperature and increase and null
tiply.
The advent of the seagulls was
noted with great interest by the peo-
pie on the wharf and steamer. The
birds seemed to take to Hawaiian wa
tiers in good style and if the tempera-
ture does not turn out to be too warm
and they can find the kind of food they
are accustomed to, the feathered ones
should do well around the coast of the
Big Island and then spread to the
adjacent isles of"the group.
