January first is the end of

Muscle Shoals 18 not going to be
disposed of under the Underwood
bill. That’s a guess, but you just
watch it, And since we are on the
topic, let’s further make predictions,
What we will have is a dormant
en'tenprlse with many millions of
the public money in it lying ham
strung with politics. It is most like
ly that & commission will be chosen
to handle the great power plant.
The morals of men are very large
ly what the women make them. It
is weak and silly for the men to
say that the women are responsible
for many of the debasing things that
drag down society. It is true that
they set the standards q: virtue
largely when they save themselves
from comproml‘-s_\llg . Yonduct—and
théy should remember that if wo.
manhood is saved in that resrect,
women must do the saving.
Hon Richard D. Callaway, former
representative of Wi'kes county
leading farmer and citizan of Wasi
ington, Ga., died recently at his
home in Washington after having
suffered two years or more from a
stroke of paralysis. He was an ex
tensive farmer, a good business man
and one whose lands yielded well
because he remained closely at his
post off duty the year around. He
will be missed in his city and coun
ty.

If the boys and girls who are
home from college will use a small
bit of discernment, they will find
that nearly every friend has more or
less interest in their progress in
their training. Those who are in
school are being watched with the
hope that’ they actomplish much.
The return to college will be made
with the assurance that all' the
home folks want them to succeed.
That’s what each one of them will
find if they will but listen at the
kindly wishes expressed.
We saw a curious view expressed
in the Dalton Citizen the other day
with respect to the state’s being in
the railroad business. It not moly
said the state should be out of the
railroad business, but the terminals
in Chattanooga should be sold, else
the people of Chattanooga and Ten
nessee would force the state into an
embarrassing situation with regard
to the property. The state is not in
the railroad business—it simply
leases a line it owns. It leases it
for good pay. Without the Chatta--
Dooga terminals, the leases would
be'less valuable, and we imagine
the people of Georgia will be able
to hold to it as long as they desire
—Just as might a sister state, Ten
ness. But then, others have g right
to their own opinion about it, -
THIS MUCH PROGRESS
All progressive cltlzens_ will be
ready to commend the city commis
sioners for undertaking to huild a
modern camp house in our tourist
park. The contract has been lei and
the oviiding will go up at once.
This is a modern structure and in
tended to meet all the needs of the
tourists who stop here.
There is no doubt that it will
:have its meaning. The effort is to
‘attract the visitor who tarries. Peo
ple who live here helieve in Cordele
and the adjacent farm lands. The
preparation for the comforts of the
tourists who come is but to impress
them with hospitality and a progres
sive citizenship. That’s what most
people who travel are looking for.
It is a commendable move and
has the hearty support and loyal
backing of every citizen' who wants
Cordele to grow—wants this com
munity in every way to be of ser
vice in bringng new people into the
county. This community house is the
City Park.
NO THIRD JUDGESHIP
There is not going to be any
third federal judgeship in Georgia—
not within any time zsoon. The
whole thing seems to be more an
effort to provide a job for a re
publicap lawyer named Tilson in
Atlanta—a Connecticut man who
has a brother in congress.
Georgla could well provide for a
third judgeship provided the terri
tory was divided into three, dis
tricts and each judge had real
work. That would give Waycross,
Cordele, ar'xd similar centers ses
sions of the court and thus add
much to the convenience of those
who have to attend the court. It
would be no bad thing at all to
have three equal districts with a
judge over each district. It would
be something which sooner or later
must come,
But a simple provision for. .8
lawyer brother of an up east mem:
ber of congress in a federal
Judge’s place so that he might pre
side with another judge in the
same district doesn’t ~mean any
convenience for those who have to

| WAKING UP CHICAGO
’ The masses may not be following
closely enough to detect it, but Chi-j
cago is undergoing an uplift wave of;
great proportions. The men who
care in that great city are at work‘
with all their energies staving off
;(he ever increasing crime crisis.
Good results are already recorded
‘and much more will follow.
Mayor Dever the other day in a
thoughtful appeal to the newspapers
of Chicago did a wonderful lot of
good. He struck into something that
needed him and just what he told
was part of a great effort to stop
crime in Chicago as in
all other great cities, news compe
tition is keen and the smallest af
fray in a dive where crime is uncov
ered, will often find itself played
gicross the fromt apge of the papers
in heavy type. That sort of thing is
done to gain circulation. Newspapers
of this country in the larger cities
are corrupting morals without end at'}:
this strife for supremacy over each
other. 1
This we quote from what Mayor
Dever said before the Sunday Even
ing Club of Chicago on the subject:
“Recently,” said his honor, “a
man was murdered in Chicago, anc
the murdered man was himself but a
‘brutal murderer, a man who had ter
}rorized the city, the acknowledged
‘head of a gang of criminals. The
;ne“~spax)ers of the city devoted many
columns to the life of the murderer;
Ethey made a romance of it; they
ipriuted many pictures of the great
“cmwd tnac atcended his funeral: The
result was the mal.ng of a hero of
lth!s gang leader. s murdera:, to
"a very large nurter of tie yomth
of the city, and to place in their
minds a desire to emulate his @x
swple. It seems to me it would hava
| been much better had the news.
bapers painted a picture of the sor
ldidness of this man’s life, of the
'evll he had done. To me the hand
tling of this incident by the news
papers would not tend to eliminate
crime and decrease the number of
criminals,’”” says the Publishers
Auxiliary.
That little statement was a lesson‘
in good journalism, says the Pub
lishers Auxiliary. A lesson that is
sadly needed hy very many of the
metropolitan newspapers. The
‘makers of the city newspapers are
looking for opportunities. They se
verely condemn the law enforcing of
ficials because a crime has been
committed, but the story of the
crime itself is handled in such a way
as to create more criminals, In the
same way they play up the story of
those who are convicted . The city
rress could help materially in the
suppression of crime, if it would
look less for the sensational story
and more to the interest of t}le com
munity it is supposed to serve.
| THE ALIEN RUNNER
Tightening of the immigration re
strtictions has turned many
erstwhile liquor runners to the less
hazardous occupation of smuggling
aliens into the United ‘States from
(lanada, according to Willlam Flynn
director in charge of this immigra
tion district.
Two hundred men keep watchful
eyes on some 1,200 miles of border
line under Mr. Flynn’s direction,
and it is inevitable that this small
force cannot keep under constant
observation every mile of the line.
There are two principal methods
employed in smuggling aliens, ac
cording to Mr. Flynn. One is for
the alien desiring to enter the
United States to work his way to
some city near the border and then
watch for an opportunity to walk
across the border.
The other and more. common
method is for veteran smugglers to
load an automobile with aliens and
drive across the border, dumping
them down at almost any place with
no particular regard as to the pos
sibility of the aliens being taken in
to custody within a short tme.
. -These smugglers invariably leave
the alien with very little money,
Mr. Flynn declares, and it is easy
for the smuggler to average $lOO
- each persop thus illegally trans
ported. As a rule the foreigners are
driven only a mile or two across the
border, but occasionally they are
taken to some town on the United |
States side, perbaps several miles
from the line. :
‘While deportation has beep com
mon practice, rrosecution is being
followed in this district and “is
getting good resuits,’” Mr. Flynnv|
said, as “thel prospects of from
three months to a year in prison is |
not so inviting to aliens as the
The alien rfinners has been known
The alien runners has been known
to make from $5OO to $2,000 on one
trip. Unlike the running of liquor,
there is no original investment and
no prospect of losing out, as he col-‘
lects in' advance from his clients{
and then'dumps them at the first
available spot without danger to
himself. ‘
RECORD CORN YIELD
To Paul Motes, club boy of Bul-l
loch county, goes the honor of the
chamrpion corn raiser among the‘
club members for the year 1924. On
one acre he produced 140.4 bushels
at a cost of $38.30, or 27.2 cents per |
‘bushel. The crop was produced un-}
der the direction of County Agent,i
W. D. Hillis, who attests to the:
record yield. |
The plan of prepaartion and cul
tivation followed by the boy shows
that the land, which was a high
loam and somewhat low, was
turned about eight inches deep and
then subsoiled. It was planted on
April 23, using a well known pro
lific variety.
Tep two-horse loads of stable
manure and four hundred pounds of
a home mixed fertilizer analyzing
10-22 were used under the corn. A
lperfect stand was secured and four
cultivations were given the crop. At
lthe last cultivation on June 26 an
application of two hundred pounds
lot nitrate of soda was made.

DCIZS A COUNTY AGENT PAY?
Tifton Gazette: i
That sounds like a foolish question
to ask, but there are some people who
think that an agent does not pay.
County Agent ‘Chandler has been as
sisting the farmers of Tift county in
mavk-ting their crops for the last two
montis. During this time, through co
operitive sales conducted by the‘eounty
agent $68,276,60 worth of products
have been sold for the cash. Th‘»e price
received by the farmers for their pro
duets was $6,571.25 more than the mar

or $1,818.75 above the market price.
During Nevember this record was more
‘than doubled, the sales totaling $40,-
i776.'69, the markeet price. This record
’was made on only two crops, peanuts
and sweet potatoes, and the gselling
season isn’t over yet. These records go
to show what ‘a real live county agent
can do in the way of assisting the
farmers to market their crops.
During the month of November, Mr.
Chandler saved to the farmers of Tift
county more than his salary for a year.
He won’s equal this record every

Arkansas Lady Says Mother
Gave Her Cardui and She Had
No More Trouble of
This Kind.
Lamar, Ark.—Mrs. ‘Edith Seeman,
here, recently made the following
statement describing her experience in
the use of Cardui:
“I had pain in my back and sides;
had sick headaches and my nose would
bleed. I couldn’t sit up at ail.
“My mother gave me Cardui. I tcok
sbout a half bottle and at this . .. 1
was able to get up and help with the
work. Next time I tvok it again, and
now, after taking two bottles, I do not
have any trouble at all at this time.
[ gained, my skin cleared up, I am
healthy and strong.
“My mother teok Cardui for a weak,
run-down condition. It did her more
good for weakness and nervousness
han any medicine she has ever taken.
She took six bottles in all. We recom
mend it and certainly know its worth.”
