LOSS FROM BAD EGGS
Broken Of Spoiled Egg Not Considered
on Average Farm-Annual
Amounts to $5,661 900.

The loss from bad eggs comes about
because a single broken or spoiled egg
Is not considered a great loss. In fact
1t is so small that 1t is hardly noticed
on the average farm, but it is the total
of these broken and bad eggs which
causes an annual loss of $5,6G1 900
when eggs are selling at 30 cents n
dozen.

internal troubles became paramount
this "block" was concentrating its eff
forts on throwing Spain into the war
as an entente ally. SPANS grievances
against the Germans are almost ex-
actly like the United States-contin-
ued outrages on undefended merchant
ships by the U-boats.
Not to go into all the maze Of de-
tails, IN may say in general that the
conservatives, the clericals. the high
army officers and the leaders of the
old aristocractic families favor Ger
many.
But there are notable exceptions to
the general rule that the arfstOcrats
favor Germany, II being the Duke of
Alba, whose family has been famous
in history for centuries.
The king himself is believed to lean
toward the entente. His consort, Ena,
Is British through and through. In
fact, she has incurred some unpopular
ity by failure to conceal her prefer
ence for England to Spain.
But what the king may do matters
little. High officers in the government

Thus, unhappy Spain stumbles on.
She Is buffeted by blasts from all
directions. The Spaniard is a natural
revolutionary. There seems little
likelihood Of a solution Of the coun-

This latest photograph of the Prin-
cess Jolanda of Italy shows a smile
that reveals her JOY at the successes
the Italian arms have been winning in
the CarsO and along the IsonZo, where
the Italian forces have been steadily
driving back the Austrians from n
mountain fastness to another. It is a
smile that she shares with everyone In
Italy, for the whole nation is filled
with JOY at the glorious prospect of
victory over their foe of centuries, and
well may they be glad, for the fighting

with glory in the fighting above the

herself to the Italian people during the

SKAGWAY, Sept. Is. - Vernon
Bawlf, who has been the object Of a
man hunt for two weeks, surrender
ed to U. S. Marshal j. NJ. Tanner and
Guard Hardy yesterday afternoon at
Gyc o'clock after half an hour parley.
Marshal Tanner will probably take
him to Juneau on the Spokane.
Tanner and Hardy were unarmed
while Bawlf had Winchester rifle
and large caliber revolver. At a
somewhat dramatic interview at Mr..
Browns wood camp lasting for half
an hour, Bawlf protested against
surrender and said that his partner
in the original horse stealing crime
had been out for a year while he had
many years yet to serve. BawIf felt
that was unjust and broke from the
Waua Walla penitentiary.
Marshal Tanner promised to use his
influence with the Washington author
tiles for leniency and urged that if he
persisted in trying to escape, blood
shed would follow, and he was too
young and capable to have a murder
charge against him.

in tatters, though he had been well
fed He had caches of grub which
he had stolen from cabins in several
places, also another rifle.

NEW FARM LAID OUT AND WORK
sTARTED-PART GOES TO COL

Surveyors were at work Friday
making measurements of the farm
containing about LOO acres, which the
city recently purchased from B. F.
Sheppard and Bro The tract Dor
ders on Gum creek, to the left of the
National highway, and a part of the
property will be laid off in lots as an
addition to the colored cemetery at
Bethel.
The remainder of the farm will be
utilized in growing feedstuffs for the
city's stock, and it is believed by city
officials that this enterprise will re-
suit in good profit to the city. While
comparatively only portion of the
feedstuffs needed to feed the
city's stock can be grown on this farm,
it is certain that corn, oats and other
crops can be produced at much less
than the prices now being paid on the
market.

HANK" GOWDY
WILL WELD BAT IN GAME


on Wednesday afternoon March 2Sth
is by no means confined to his hitting
propesnities. He is today and has
been for the last three years, the first
string catcher for the Braves and while
there may be more graceful back-stops
than Hammering Hank, there is none
possesses a better throwing arm. 1t
is fact, that two years ago he went
through the season without, making a
bad throw to any of the bases. Gowdy
likes nothing better than to catch
base runners mapping off list and 3rd
base, and many an opponent has been
the victim of his unerring pegging.
Gowdy is the Beau Brunei of the
Braves and is known along the circuit
as one of the fashion-plates of the
game.

revival is NOW
UNDER FULL SWAY
SUNDAY WILL BE RED LETTER
DAY. MANY PEOPLE ATTEND
ING.

DR.. Chas. Lane will deliver one of
his powerful and most interesting SER
mons at the IL O'Clock preaching hour
at the Methodist church this morning.
The services have continued to in
crease in interest and the congrHga-
tons have grown with each succeed
ing service, and it is expected that the
abundance this morning will reach the
largest yet experienced, though the
services last Sunday morning and
evening, the opening day of the re-
vival, were attended by congregations
that taxed the seating capacity of the
church.
1t is probable that the preaching of
no revivalist in the past has so inter-
ested a Cordele congregation as that
of DR.. Lane. There have been a number
of accessions to the church, and from
the standpoint OF interest and results
accomplished this is expected to be a
capital day in the course of the revival.
This morning at $50 o'clock sun
rise prayer service will be conducted
in the auditorium of the church by
the Epworth League. The Sunday
school hour at 9:40 will be devoted to
Decision Day, and during the last half
hour of the Sunday school services,
the entire school, will assembly in the
church auditorium, to hear an address
by DR.. Lane.
DR.. Lane will preach at II O'Clock
and Rev. A. J. Notestein will lead the
song services. There will be no preach
ing services in the afternoon.
This evening at 1880 an experience
song service will be led by Rev. Note
stein. Members of the congregation
will be called to state their favorite'
song and verse or two of each song
will be sung. 1t is expected that all
of the songs will be familiar hymns,
and they will probably be sung with
out the use of books.
The services will continue through
this week, DR.. Lane preaching at $3.50
and 7:30 p. m. each day.

ORD|NARIES Want
CHANGE TAG LAW
ORDINARY FLEMING HAS LET
TIERS EXPRESSING FAVOR OF
PROPOSED LAW.

Expressions from more than tnlrty
ordinaries of counties in all parts or
the state, in response to letter sent
out by Judge w. P. Fleming, Ordinary
of Crisp county, strongly endorse the
enactment of a law at the next reg
ular session of the Legislature provid-
ing for the distribution of automobile
license tags through the offices of the
ordinaries. For the past week or
more Judge Fleming's mail has been
swelled considerably by letters from
his fellow officers, and as yet there
has not been a dissenting opinion
from them relative to the enactment
of the proposed law.
In accordance with the ideas of
Judge Fleming and those of Hon. w.
H. Doris, representative of Crisp coun
ty in legislature who will introduce the
bill, the ordinaries express themselves
as believing that the new law would
facilitate the distribution of the tags,
making it possible for auto owners to
obtain the tags with less inconven-
fence to themselves.
The proposed new law will provide
that every ordinary in the county be
furnished with sufficient number of
tags to furnish the auto owners of
the respective counties. and this would
prevent the recurrence of rush in
the office of Secretary of State Cook
during the last few days of the time
allowed by law for the auto owners
to provide themselves with tags. 1t
is believed further that the new law
will provide a more general obser-
vance of the law by motor vehicle
owners.

When the Braves cleaned up the
Athletics in four straight games in the
Worlds series of 1914, the biggest in
dividual star of that series was Hank
Gowdy, whose batting average was
something over 500 per cent for the
series, which was the largest ever
made by a regular player in a worlds
series stretch of games. Gowdy's work
with the stick in those games earned
for him the appellation of Hammer
ing Hank Gowdy" which has chung to
him to this day.
Gowdy has a vicious swing to his
bat and has the trick of meeting the
ball squarely on the nose. Gowdy's
value to the Braves however, as will

ed by Lovett in an accident for
which the road was alleged to have
been responsible.
The case went to trial Wednesday

THIRTY BACK
HOME IN ONE PARTY
ARAB FARMERS BRING BACK NE.
GRoEs FROM EASTERN POINTS
MORE COMING HOME.

"There is no human being in the
world who has such home loving in
stincts as are possessed by the ne
gro" it has been said, and though the
exodus Of southern negroes to north
ern climes would seem to disprove
this, yet the return of many of them
to their native homes from northern
states still bears out such statement.
Cerainly there is no stronger love than
a Georgia negro has for Georgia-rajs-
ed watermelon, which, incidentally.
might have something to do with the
return of Georgia negroes to their
Georgia homes in the future.
"When it comes to paying 10 cents a
slice for watermelons in northern
states" said Crisp county farmer,
there are many negroes who are 60
ing to return to Georgia, or some 9th
er southern state, to find the water
melon where they can be had for five
to ten cents a piece, fresh from the
melon patch"
Last week thirty-two negroes who
had emigrated from Crisp county
farms in the vicinity of Arab t O
northern states, returned home, after
they had been furnished transporta-
ZION by M. D. Mikel, Clifton Williams
and other farmers of the Arab COM
munity. Eight other negroes who be-
r longed to the same emigrating party,
have written to farmers in that section
of the county asking for transporta-
ton to return home, giving various
and numerous reasons for wanting to
return. They did not find employment
near SO profitable as it had been pic
tured to them, they said. Health con-
ditions were not so good as they were
in the sunny south, nor did they find
the treatment of their northern en-
ployees to their liking. They under
stand farming and southern people,
some of them said, and they are con-
WINGED they will never be satisfied off
the farm, or among people the customs
and ways of whom they do not under
stand.
For several weeks the |. M. Powell
mills of this city have been shipping
meal to northern concerns, because
Georgia negroes did not like the bread
baked from the western corn meal.
The local mills have made heavy ship
ments to the northern concerns, and
the orders have been steadily increas-
ing.
