RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS.

Two thousand Red Cross nurses are

for service The number of trained
nurses volunteering for Red Cross

Infant welfare nurses have been sent

Despite the heavy demands of the war

that IS Red Cross nurses are engaged
in teaching and nursing in rural and

oFFICIA LoRGAN CRISP COUNTY
ARE YOU GUILTY?

sAre you one of the foul mouthed that
useRublic places to reel out oaths and
ungehtlemanly language where ladies
havel to hear it and permit you
thustb abuse every privilege enjoyed
by hose who pass and repass in a
busy everyday world? DO you sit at
a table in arestaurant just opposite
that at which a woman is dining and
use profane language? DO you get in
a seat on your train just ahead Of a
lady and talk in uncouth manner to
your friend while she is forced to sit
quietly by and hear it all?
Did it ever occur to you that you
are violating one of the laws of your
state when you do that, no matter
where you are-no matter who the
woman is that hears you, it is all the
same. You are subject TO arrest and
Imprisonment if you use profane or
obscene language in the presence Of
woman. And did you know that if
some man who has heard you thus
abusing all rights, all decency, were
to step up and smash you, he would
hardly be punished in any court in the
land for so doing?
We are people who have many,
many years held woman in the high
est esteem. On a crowded car it is
our custom to surrended a seat to a
woman. Is it quite sensible to do that
andthe II rip out an oath Immediately
where the woman you have thus
shown a proper respect can hear you?
You are careless. You would not
do that If You took time to deliberate
first. You may be debased in morals
mad refinement but you witt not use
profanity where a woman or a child
can hear you if you first think about
it. Careless department in a restau-
rant, on railroad car in hotel lob
by is just as bad as it is in the parlor
of your friend, for lady is Just as
likely to hear you in any of these
places as she is in the parlor whore
YOU would not use such language.
Ladies have to frequent these places
just as men, and they ahve just as
much right to proper department and
genuine refinement on your part there
as in the finest drawing room in the
land.
Customs are growing lax. Man
ners are being discarded and an en-
boldened rough neck can enter ho-
tel a restaurant, or a railroad passen-
ger car and make every person with
in hearing feel keen embarrassment
at the language used Every man of us
should resent it and eliminate the
person guilty of such conduct right on
the spot. 1t would teach him lesson

there is gum in his argument.
Georgia, when this state was called

agricultural products, giving especial
attention to food supplies, came to the
front with real results and little talk,
comparative with that of some states
where results do not compare. None
Of that should be post, so far as it is
possible to maintain every gain the
state has made; and it ought to be
possible to slip backward not bushel

BURKE COUNTY WON'T
STAND FOR HARDWIcK

Waynesboro, Ca, Oct. 4.-Unless
the people Of Jenkins county with
draw their invitation SenaCr Thorn
as w. Hardwick to deliver an address
at the Five County Fair in Millen, the
people of Burke county will probably
decline to participate in the event.
Burke is one of the counties making
up the five. The grand jury of Burke
comfy adopted the following resolu-
tons of protests against the invita-
ton to Senator Hardwick:
1--WE learn with much surprise that
the Five County Fair, to be held in
our neighboring town of Millen, in
the good old county Of jenkins, at an
early date has extended an invitation
to Senate w. Hardwick to deliver
an address during said fair
"Inasmuch as this county of Burue
is monthly one Of the group of the five
counties under whose auspices or
name said fair is supposed to be con
Quoted, we therefore take this occas-
ion to express our regret that such
honor has been accorded to one who
has brought himself into such dis
favor throughout our whole country
by his reasonable utterances and
persistent antagonism to the war pol
icy of our great president in this most
critical and perilious crisis in our
history"

OUR MILLION DOLLAR BANK.

I OOFh MiEGtOiN ~ --TNsh SFN'N'Ns
Our business community wakes up
this morning with million dollar
bank! 1t is a more than ordinary an
nouncement, for such a business ac-
complishment as this has never be-
fore occurred in Cordele. 1t is an ac-
complishment of which the entire
town and surrounding territory
should be especially proud. Those
who have helped make it possible for
the deposits in a single bank in Cor
| dele to run over million dollars are
| gratifying that such a thing is posi-
BILE and they are now beginning to rea-
lie that those who work and pull for
| larger business are indeed succeeding
Those who make the Exchange the
creditable banking institution that it
is express deep qualification that the
public has been so loyal and so mani
testify appreciation Of an effort to pro-
vide banking facilities that may be
worth much to CordeIe as a business
center. And those who direct TIE af-
fairs OF this bank also suggest that
this is but the beginning. They feel
that we ought to have reached this
point years ago. The pride manifes-
ted on every hand must in mea sure
be looked upon as q thing most natu-
raj but those who are directing the
Exchange to a higher usefulness want
it understood that even the least of its
depositors deserves a share of The
credit
And while this is a real celebration
of the passing of a mile post in local
banking much out Of the ordinary, it
should be understood that banking in
tcrests elsewhere in the community
are also working with great loyalty
and enterprise to swell banking ad-
vantages and make Iordele serve a
much wider business territory than
ever before
There is not business man in Cor
dele or our surrounding territory, no
matter whether he be banker, farmer,
or in other lines of business, if he has
particle of pride advancement here,
he will really rejoice that such advan-
cement is possible. He win know
that we are arriving at a point where
ours, like that Of larger communities,
will be banking service fully in
keeping with all our needs.
We have long needed just what our
local banks are beginning to give us.
And our advantage are not always in
a wider borrowing range. That isn't
the advantage. There are big bust
ness concerns among us that operate
on large capital. Some of them have
heretofore reached much farther than
could any OF our local banks, and
they could not always do what they
wanted to do-could not pull big bust
ness every time they wished because
the local banks were not large enough.
Financially we are getting TO where
the banks can take the lead, for they
have their won money with which to
do it. The strokes that make a big
ger better business must naturally fol-
low, Watch us grow and at much
rapid pace.

ABOUT THE RED CROSS.

Shall Cordela and Crisp County lag
behind in the Red Cross work? May
be we have been nursing the com
placent assurance that our communi-
ty has done as well as others similar
! placed, but this is a delusion, This
| great work cannot be handled on a
comparative basis. In fact, we have
done nothing which should satisfy us
until we havedone our whole duty in
| this great cause.
And, besides, this is one work in
which all can unite. If there be one
who is so craven in soul that he cares
not for his country's future, he will at
least be interested in his own sons as
they suffer and maybe die on the field
OF battle. If there be one who from
conscientious motives is opposed to
war certainly he above all men would
carry relief in every form to which
human ingenuity can invent, to those
who suffer from wound and disease in
order that he may nurse his over
grown conscience in safety.
Our community has done well by
the Red Cross. but she has not done
her full duty The work has had most
efficient management and direction.
but thoraa has boan Il disrOc;t;o,, foo
pronounced, to shirk individual re
sponsibility and shove the burden of
this great work onto the shoulders of
a few devoted spirits. These few have
worked faithfully and well. They
have an organization perfected which
is possibly superior to that in most
counties in Georgia but the commu.
nifty needs now to get behind the
movement and push with mighty force
and effectiveness.
There is to a rally for these pur,
poses at the Methodist Church on Sun.

OUR GAME LAWS.

AT the approach of each season it
becomes somebody's duty to remind
the public that the game laws are con
stantly being violated and the country
thereby deprived of much of the game
we haveOn our statute books pledged
ourselves to protect Those of us
who go hunting out OF season and des-
troy the very game we ought to pro
tectthus help to deprive ourselves of
which other sections arenow spending
thousands of dollars to replace.
We have still a great advantage in
game that ought to be preserved. II
will mean much to follow strictly the
schedules provided under the game
law. We ought to respect every pro
vision for the sake of retaining our
game that cannot by any means last.
1t requires a license even in season
for one to hunt without violating the
law. For the benefit Of the public the
entire schedule is printed elsewhere
in this issue of the Dispatch. Learn
what you can about requirements and
follow the law. You will not regret
it once you find that the law ST so fix
ed as to provide hunting season and
yet sayeth e game for such huntius
season. 1t is your duty to yoursel
