OLD MAN WHISKEY

Pay day evenings, when the mill
hands meant to take their wages
home,
They'd meet up with Old Man Whis-
key, waiting in the falling gloam,
Stop little to palaver at the corner
of the bar,
Stick around till nearly midnight, and
then, somehow, miss the car.
They would turn up in the morning
with grand supply of booze
And once more there'd be no money
for the rent and clothes and shoes.

IS CAR LOADS HOGS
MOVE FROM CRISP
From the Cordele Dispatch.

From the Cordele Dispatch.
Thirty-five car loads of hogs have
gone out of Crisp from this point
since last January to the different
packing plants over the country and
those who have had hogs for sale
have realized what is considered a re-
markable good price. The sales are
still increasing and total of $50 cars
is promised during the coming twelve
months.
This latter estimate is placed by
those who are in the buying business
here. They assert that they have but
just started. 1t is declared that but
little sign has been made and to the
buyers it looks like when they got
one for the market five or six more
rise up in the next fortnight to take
his place
One buyer says hog raising in Crisp
has but just begun Those who have
realized handsomely on the hogs sold
have gone back to the task with re-
newed zeal. Buyers laugh at the sug-
gestion that all the hogs are being
sold and carried away from the coun-
ty. They say the great stimulus hog
raising has had this year in Crisp
will mean hundreds of thousands of
dollars in the near future from meat
that would never have been made
here.

COTTON CONTROL WILL BE
DEFEATED SAY SENATORS

Washington, July 4.-Senators from
cotton producing states express conf
dence that the south's chief staple will
be eliminated from the administration
food control bill before it comes up
tor flnal vote, and there is a strong
movement to conhne the measure to
control Of food, feeds and fuel, as it
came from the house Senator Sore,
chairman of the senate agriculture
committee, today received the follow
ing telegram from Fort Worth, Tex.
Cotton has declined two and one
half cents since it was included in
food control bill yesterday. Before
congress gets through every commo-
dity and every line of business will
be affected by this bill and business
throughout the country will come to
complete stop. For Gods sake be
careful
Unless an agreement is reached by
tomorrow afternoon for taking a final
vote on the food control bill, Senator
Chamberlain announced today that
he would introduce motion to put in
effect the new cloture bill. The
vote is being delayed by the fight on
the Gore amendment to place upon
the president responsibility for de-
termining whether the manufacture of
beer and wine should be restricted.
