THIS ONE ON MR.. wEEvIL

Somebody tells such big one on
Old Mr. B. Weevil that he is unwil,
ling to sign his name. A letter adj
dressed to The Dispatch says this oc.
Cured:
"An awful noise woke me up last
night. l got out of my bed and went
ont 70 determine the cause. I saw a
very large Boll.Weevil beating small
one to death because it could not get
along fast with two rows of cotton
at the same time"
All of this indicates that Old Mr.
T. Weevil is up and about his task,
working hard. All of that means that
tie cotton grower who is not up and
out early, carrying the two rows at
the same time, picking dead squares
and burning them, will want to beat
his old lady and all the little ones to
death this fall when cotton is bringing
around forty cents pound and there
is marry bit" to sell.

boozle his way easily back into Of
fee when the time comes. He did it
for years in the lower house of con-
gress. He did it with the help of Hoke
Smith when he went to the senate.
Why not one more time? In scope of
usefulness, in public service and
worth as a statesman, he is one of
Georgias smallest Georgians have
reached decision to cut loose from
him. Many of them are saying so.
And it is hardly probable that his
numerous nominations for the federal
judgeship with which he has played
so long, will help him Some Of the
very men he has named are today
laughing at this political trickery.
They know it is insincere. They know
Hardwick has not spent a moment
thinking of putting good man in
this place. The people of Georgia
know that Judge Whipple went for
this place with the approval of large
number of Georgia's best lawyers and
jurists, got the approval of the de-
partment Of justice and the appoint
ment through President Wilson. And
Georgians know that he had the prom
Use Of Hoke Smiths support in the
senate. 1t was Hardwick who blocked
this and that and everything else in
connection with Judge Whipple's win
wing in the senate. Still sticking to
West, Hardwick now submits other
names. Does he suppose President
Wilson will make a child's affair of
it? Let him wait and see. President
Wilson has always tried to prevent
politicians from using federal appoint
ments for political preferment He
will hardly fall into the habit at this
late hour.

This is no serious fault to be. laid
at any mans door. 1t is a forget
fulness as to the little things. OF late
there is marked pride in the appear
ance Of show windows in a number
of the business houses. In less than
years time great changes have come
in this one thing alone, but look at
the upper portions of a number of the
buildings fronting the railroads and
then pinch yourself. 1t is time some
body was after the rags and sparrow
nests. Thousands of people look on
our town from the trains that go and
come. They see a tattered conglamora-
ton of awnings on the up-story fronts
that really looks unsightly. 1t even
has the appearance of an abandoned
whole business front, when that is
not the case at all.
Go down to the Greer block fronts
and smash those sparrows. Get over
in the other blocks on the front and
pull down the old wreckage and help
the town put on the appearance of
being inhabited. Do that before an
other train passes 1t will help. We
have ordinarily pretty town. 1t is
kept clearly in both colored and white
residential sections. In the business
section we are due ourselves the same
consideration. The appearance is
the thing. Get out the old signs and
brush up. 1t will change the appear
ance of things and help wonderfully.

WHAT HARpwIck THINKS.

| Few people knowing what Senator
Hardwick is doing and saying of late
can explain what he really has in
mind Many good citizen are begin
ming to ask seriously what he is try.
| ing to accomplish by his opposition to
every measure and every purpose of
the democratic administration.
In Georgia the party which sent
I1ardwick to Washington as its rep
resentative has long since mated any
thing that could be called republican,
and yet, republican name and princi-
pal are a credit to this man who car
ried democratic letters Of introduc-
ton with him when he went to the
United States senate. 1t must be re-
membered he did not carry with him
the consent of a majority of the quail
fed voters of Georgia.
But Senator Hardwick has in mind
some political long jumping When he
delivered himself of his most unpa-
triotic utterance in Columbus the
other day, he surely did not expect
commentator from the citizens Of
Georgia. He ought to have known that
it would raise rought house. Why
this course?
In all probability he thinks that next
year when he is running for reelec-
ton, some of Georgia's sons will have
died in the trenches on foreign soil
fighting Germany. Tie must believe
that such a thing will by that time
turn Georgians TO a resentment of
the war policies which sent these
brave sons to France He must count
on bitter opposition to the con
script law.
In all this he is wrong, if he thinks
il. There will be a hundred volun-
teers from Georgia for every man we
lose in Europe Let him wait till we
read our first casualty list. American
arms are not going to permit Germany
to reach these shores All his oppo-
sition is not going to check patrio-
tism in Georgia, nor our unrelenting
determination to do our duty. Let
his estimate Of his own people in that
direction perish. Likewise, Senator
HardWick is to find this state solidly
supporting President Wilson and the
drafting Of an army just in the way
that has been chosen.
Once official Washington laughed
Hoke Smith out because he imagined
Cleveland's cabinet should be run as
he desired. For long time he remem-
bered, but in politics with him it has
always been one-man power. 1t is
still that way, but he is contenting
himself this time in Washington with
dominating where he can, and where
he cannot, he leaves off all.
Senatorially speaking Hardwick is
Hoke Smiths political child,-an lille
Ultimate, withal, and actual service

TAKE DOWN The RAes.

If you have an old weather worn
awning about your front. up about the
second or third story and that avn
ing is beaten and torn and is dang
ling in rags, the first thing you ought
to do when you get down town is to
tear it away. The business section
of Cordelc can we'll afford a day off
TO remove the old, ragged awnings.
There are some other things that
might be done that would help the
general appearance in the business
section wonderfully.

The prohibition element now in
Washington demanding national pro-
hibition at any cost are seriously hin
dering the food control bill and plans
for pushing the fight against Germany.
1t may all be good, but it isn't in our
power TO see it. Prohibition at any cost
is costing something right now The
president frankly asked that prohi-
bition be taken out of the way so that
our war plans Nigh not be delayed.
National prohibition may be good but
how far should it be permitted to
block the war from our side?

COMPARATIVE SCHOOL COSTS.

The Progressive Farmer, the livest
farm publications in the south, puts
forth the suggestion that we ought
TO double our school tax within the
year. That paper says it knows, wheth-
er we do it now or think it mistake,
before ten years more roll around, we
will be at it and glad of the oppor-
tunity 1t says it is folly to say we
cannot afford more money for educa-
lion now than when we were getting
6 to 10 cents a pound for cotton. 1t
declares that too pany communities
are levying three mills when they
ought to be using nine mills for
schools. In Cordele for the past
several years, we have been spending
approximately $40 per school year
for each child in school. In the rural
schools Of Crisp we have hardly been
spending as much for the child.
We quote from the Progressive
Farmer further in order that it may
be seen just how much is spent for
education among the children of other
states.
ITO pay a school tax IS 10 swap dol
lars for life, and God shrivels the soul
and blights the future of any commun-
ity where the people think more of
saving little money than they do of
providing life and life more album
dainty" for the men and women of
tomorrow. We of the south have al
ways accused our northern friends of
loving money, but we have got to
face the fact that when it comes to
choosing between saving money and
buying knowledge for his children the
Yankee everlastingly puts us to shame
Look at the facts. The North At
lantic states spend $5O55 per year
on schools per child; the South At
lqptic States $1S.91-not 40 per cent
as much. The north central states
spend $44.15 per child the South
Central States $19.01-not half as
much. North Dakota, rural state,
is spending $64 year per child; wild
Idaho $55, and even Mormon Utah
$52, while Virginia spends $40, North
Carolina only $12, South aCrolina only
$11, and Georgia $13. Nor can we say
we are doing as we'll in proportion to
wealth for while North Dakota spends
on schools "A cents a year for each
$500 of her wealth, Idaho 40, and
Utah 81, Virginia and North Carolina
spend only IS cents year per 500
of wealth, South Carolina q cents
and Georgia 30.
THE Carolinas, Virginia and Geor-
gia therefore might double the
amount they spent for schools and
even then not spend as much as some
other states are spending. Let us
now highly resolve that we will sane
tify the greater prosperity God has
given us by giving twice as much
from it for unfolding the power of the
children He has given us and for fur
thering the eternal purpose of Him
who said: 81 have come that We might
have life and life more abundantly."

GET THAT FUND.

The work of the leaders, all of
them for the Red Cross deserve the
heartjest commendation and APPROVAL
all over the community. 1t should have
more than approval To make the ap-
probation real and lasting, none of
us should falter in our support. We
should nave quickly and make the
task easier for those who have sac
rificed their time and deserted their
own posts of duty in order that the
Red Cross may have it's required
amount of money in this county.
We must remebmer that it is no
more the duty of our leaders to put
Crisp county up with it's required
amount than it is the duty Of each in
dividual. Every person in the county
owes something to the Red Cross
movement. The sooner the debt is
paid the sooner will our leaders who
are sacrificing their time be able to
return to their own private duties.
Those who are in charge are not
going to quit till the full $4,000 is in
hand. Why keep the men and women
who have taken the responsibility
hanging on the corners and in the
roads so long? Why double up their
work and multiply hardships? And
why let this weigh against our good
name? We have a record for prompt
ness and liberality equal to that of
any other average community in Geor-
gia on such a call as the Red Cross
is making.
Isn't it time the campaign were
reaching a successful climax? If you
have given your bit, get after the man
who hasn't. Make life miserable for
him till he does something. This thing
should have been done in week. 1t
must be finished, and it cannot be re-
linquished till we have our full
amount. 1t would be sorry day for
us in the future if we had to be re-
minded that we had not put up our
Red Cross fund.
Let us commend the leaders, both
men and women. Let us help them
today and tomorrow and until the
work is done. 1t must never be said
of Cordele and Crisp county that we
have quit with anything less than our
full amount. The longer we are at
it, the less credit will we deserve. In
spite of everything, it is a measure
of our spirit of loyalty. Are we going
to tell the outside world that we are
slow and listless? That isn't true,
and yet how are we going to prove it?
There is only one way,-get that fund
and get it now.
