FIND US THE LABOR

The Georgia Council of Defense will
meet in Macon February 9th, one of
its purpose being to find work for the
returning soldiers and make plans to
bring some of the soldiers from other
states here fortune hunting There
may be some good which will come
Of the meeting. We hope there will be
something done which will result in
good for the returning soldiers, for
there is nothing we can do too good
for the man who went to France.
But the thing he most desires is to
be let alone. The government is
bringing Georgians back to Georgia
and Virginians back to Virginia.
They are not all being dumped down
in this state where finding work
might indeed become problem.
Most of the soldiers are returning to
the very post Of duty they left when
they went to fight. That place is wait
ing for each man. In 999 cases out of
thousand the soldier boy will 20 to
his former work. And only Georgians
will come back to Georgia.
There need be no great hulabaloo
here about providing work for the re-
turning soldiers. 1t is not going to be
troublesome in the south for some
time yet to find work. We need the
men in Georgia and as fast as they
hit Georgia they will be stepping to
the music of Old Mr. Work. We know
that and we cannot help decrying the
necessity Of organizing a great force
of working men and women to pro-
vide work for the men whose employ
mcnt is already waiting for them.
This will be last motion.
Better start some sort of campaign
to set more labor. Had man in our
office yesterday calling for fifteen
families right here in the community
He wanted them on a great farming
enterprise. We have others who want
fifteen more families each, Working
force, more of it! If returning soldier
boy should accidentally get in the
notion to hunt work, somebody would
get him in a minute.

A CALL TO ARMS?

Says the Savannah Press;
EXPRESSIONS coming forth from the
national labor congress in Chicago
give serious warning of trouble which
the nation and the states should i'm
mediately brace themselve to meet.
Some things may be discounted as
vaporing, but the sort of smoke that
is going up from the labor radicals
indicates fire which should be keenly
watched and prepared for. 1t is the
more outrageous in its tone of def
ance Of law and government since it
is so clearly and definitely of the
character Of Bolsheviki crimes which
are making Russia a he'll and treaten-
ing the ruin of portions of Europe.
1t is certain that there is no room
in the United States of America for
two flags. The red flag of Socialism
may be tolerated only so long as it
does not flaunt itself as banner of
defiance of the law and government
of the United States. In the amazing
telegram of Eugene Debs it is stated
that "the hour has struck for action"
The convention is told it can do no
less than demand the unconditional
release of Mooney and if chat fails"
to call to general strike There is no
other Interpretation Of this than de-
mand, coupled with threat, that
crimes which are committed under
the protection of the flag of blood
shall not be punishable by the state
and national governments. James TT
Maurer, president of Pennsylvania Fe
Iteration of Labor, told the convention
that those who were good revolution
lists" will do nothing to obstruct this
new radical movement" "The day
has passed" lie said, when officials
can railroad man to the gallows be-
cause of his opionions."
Opinions which work in evil and
lawless deeds are not of themselves
punishable. Neither are these frezied
words which set flame to the angry
and unreasoning impulse of uncon-
trolled men, but the act which is
against the law of the land must and
will be punished and MEN and women
who give forth such utteranccs and
hold such lawless and defiant opinions
should be carefully watched.
The sense of Mr.. Debs' ant Mr..
Maurer's threats is about the same
as the threat of Germany to coerce
American shipping and control Amer

FAIRNESS TO CAPITAL

The owners of the local light and
power plant want to accuse us OF
maintaining spirit of unfairness to
wards foreign capital in Cordele. We
want to deny this. We may deny with
n clear conscience and still say the
people OF this community should own
and operate their local power and
Lighting plant. We may do so and still
maintain that the local plant is max.
ing money for its owners. We do not
say that handsome profits have been
made during the period of the war
It is mere than likely true that no
very handsome dividends have been
maze since the government sent the
price CT coal mountain high in order
to get enough production to win the
war But we believe the local plant is
stiIl operating without loss of money
with all this extra cost in fuel added,
because it is one of the best managed
small plants in Georgia
The capital we have in mind right
now is that which operates one of our
most useful public utilities. 1t touches
the interests of the whole community
And then, too we are dealing right
now with sort of blood-sucking CAPT.
tal,-a kind that is not willing to pass
up the period of the war, as our other
industries have to, without settling
large funds over to the profit account
1t wants to grasp this as an opportun-
ity to get on our necks and chose us
when ii has the best excuse
All price restrictions on coal will
go off on February LIST The greatest in
crease in expenses since the war start
ed has been in the fuel supply for
our local plant We venture to suggest
that the power operators here have
already been offered contract for the
year at a tremendous drop in prices.
You might safely say This reduction
at single jump has been hundred
percent. 1t will be costing a hundred
percent less within the next ninety
days, and then. with the proposed
increase in expenses since the war
started has been in the fuel supply
for our local plant We venture to
suggest that the power operators here
have offered a contract for the year
at a tremendous drop in prices. You
might safely say this reduction at
single jump has been hundred per,
cent. 1t will be costing hundred per
cent less within the next ninety days.
and then. with the proposed increas
ed in rates here, it would be an easy
thing to get away with both pockets
bullying in dividends. 1t is the time of
all times for the owners to strike for
more money out Of the people of Cor
dele Supplies are at their highest cost
That cannot be disputed Nor can it
be disputed that they are on the down
ward trend. with every indication
that they will drop before long to the
pre-war stages. The increase must be
procured now or never We hope. our

LIANT GOOD IRISH POTATO SEED

PLANT GOOD IRISH POTATO SEED
The irish potato, especially the
spring crop, is becoming more import.
ant in Georgia each year.
In the spring of 1913 many people
planted Irish potatoes with the ex.
pectation Of getting good yields. but
at harvest time some were greatly
disappointed at the small yield OBJ
tanned
Various causes may account for the
poor yields, but one cause which was
observed throughout the State, was
the diseased seed potatoes used.
Scme potato diseases are not carried
in the seed, but the disease which
caused many poor crops last year.
Potato Mosaic, has been definitely
proven to be carried in the seed tub-
crs. Mosaic manirests itself in tbn
form 8iunted plants, with notified or
yarigated leaves. This nothing is due
to loss of green coloring matter of
