‘We have nothing but good willl
for the strect car operators, but
the owners of the street railway
lines cannot 'call themselves any
kind of honest, fair-minded busi

traffic about ten times as fas and

Take stock of the many reasons
for the advantages which give Cor
dele precedence over ‘other com
munities in building and then make
it a businc.s td talk these ad
vantages in 19256. Your town s
woerthy of your good faith. As long
as you live here, you ought to be
lieve in it. If you have no ileal rea
sors for doing so, nne of the hest
tasks yow ean perform ny v s to
find some-—some real reasons. They
exist—your town is all right,
One of the New Yoar resolu
tions we shou'l w.'=9 inte the Ust
here in Cordele is the pledge to
get back to our places in the per
'Tormmwe of public (lutles~obllga;‘
tions to our town and community
that are always vitally necessary in
-:nugking a town grow. We cannot
'(r()unt the new year worth most, at
the start or at tfze close unless we
stand individually and collectively
ready to do and to sacrifice for the
~public good. The unselfish man is
what we need in 1925, Is that man
still among us?
It is said that Frank Vanderlip,
who is at rresent suffering from an
attack of typhoid, got his: infec
tion from cating oysters. The
New’i York health authorities are
digging into the past in an effort
to ascertain what caused a number
of cases of this kind among well to
do pecple—-at least, well enough to
ilo to be able to eat oysters. We
wonder if the lowly oyster has sud
denlly become responsible for ty
phoid. Of course, nothing could be
yrong with the water or the milk
gupply in a city as perfect as New
fork. Our sympathies stiil go out
to the oys!or-——nn(‘l we are for them.
.'lt is worth more than passing
note to be able to say that the
Christmas celebraticn has gone
wihout a serious miship " in this
rather large community. Much of|
the suffering of the poor has been
alleviated in the giving that has
been done and there is an appar
ént general contentment. The holi
gays have been real and pleasantl
io nearly all people. The reople Ofi
this community have not in yearsl
passed_ a safer, saner, more digni
fied holiday season than this.

BUSINESS IN 1925 i
Business during 1924 is generally
summarized as fair by banking and{‘
industrial leaders. Prospects for
1926, however, are considered unus
‘ually bright, many business men
‘echoing the sentiments expressed
by President Coolidge in his an
nual message to Congress that “un
der the assurance of a reasonable
system of taxation, there is every
prospect for an era of prosperity of
unprecedented proportions,’’
The prediction of further business
prosperity is based on several well
known facts, Settlement of the
German reparations problem
through the adoption of the Dawes
plan is ‘widely believed to have re:
moved the greatest obstacle to the
economic recovery of Burope, upon
whose prosperity we are more or
legs dependent because of our po
sition as a big creditor nation and
an important participant in inter--
national rade. .
Foremost among the domestic fac
tors is the easiness of the money
miarket and the huge sums availa
ble for commercial credit, In addi
tion most stocks of merchandise
are relatively low, railroad traffic
is at record levels, exports are in
creasing, the principal Kuropean ex
changes are at par, or head there,
geveral important industrial and
railroad mergers are pending, the
'high prices received for current
crops 3 has brought prosperity back
to the agricultural = regions, gaso
line consumption is at record high
levels and an ambitious program of
hydro-electric power development is
vnder way .
Rallroads enjoyed one of their
best years in 1924 since their
restoration to private control. Eco
nomics effected through the cut-|
ting down of operating expenses
enghled many systems to lncrease‘
their met income despite reductions
in gross earnings. One of the :mostl
important developments of the year‘{
was the completion of plans for‘
the Gigantic Nickel Plate merger
to include the Nickel Plate,l
Hocking Valley,ir Chesareake & !
Ohio, Pere Marquette and Erie sys
temg. The Southern Pacific also a.c-i
quired the El Paso & Southwestern
during the year:,. with conslderwble‘
progress made towards other im
rerant consolidations. The loss of
the balance of power by the sO
- radical bloc in the congres
sional elections removed by the
fear of adverse legislation and has
enabled the roads to proceed [with
important consolidation -and de
'velopment plans. Tlnaugration of
dividends on the commopn stocks of
the Southern, St. Louis-San Fra:n
cisco and Pere Marquette raflwaya
and the resumption of dividends on
'Bnltimore and Ohio also were
among the year’s imporant rail
road developments. Several other
rossible dividend developments are
rending.
The steel indusiry enjoyed a
good first quarter, but the second
and third quarters weree poor, un
filled orders of the TUnited States
Stel Corporatiop falling to = the
fowest level in 10 years in July
\\vith operations below 50 perecent
‘of capacity. Business picked up in
the fourth quarter with indications
of a steady increase into the ne'w
yvear.
The oil industry was again hamper
ed by the excess production of crude
oil which, combined with the ex
traction of more gasoline through
improved cracking processes, made
it a particularly poor year for the
refining companies§ and the smaller
rroducers.

BOY’S COTTON CLUBS :
During the past two years mem--
bers of the boys cotton clubs have
clearly demonstrated that cotton
can still be raised at the rate of a
'bale per acre, and this organization
‘has been a big factor in getting
ifarmei's back to a higher produc
‘tion by the use of ' more high
‘grade fertilizer and proper boll
‘weevil eontrol.
In the northwest Georgia section
alone there were 350 boys who pro
duced a bale or more of cotton per
acre this season. The highest yield
recorded was 1012 pounds of lint,
raised by a Troup county club mem
ber, and believed to be the record
for the entire south this year. Oth
er yields of 800 pounds and upward
were made,
" The highest average yield was re
ported from in Spalding county in
which the entire membership of the
cotton elub, consisting of 45 ‘l')oys
made a hale each. Thirty-five boys
in Fayette county made thirty
five bales.
in a number of instances the
cotton produced by the hoys was
sold at auction by the county agent
and from one to three cents more
per pound was received. Public
spirited citizens in most cases
were the buyers, and were glad to
pay a premium over the market
rrice in the effort to boost the
work.
SHORTAGE OF HOCS IN GEORGIA&
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: I
it seems as though there must be ¢
something out of gear when in a|
state such as Georgia, where it is as
casy to raise hogs as it is in any
ctate in the Union, there should be a
cry of shortage in hogs. And yet such
‘appears to be the case, according to
the following from the Pearson Tri
lbunc:
| Hon. W. W. Webb, of Hahira,
South Georgia Field Agent of the
~ Stateß ureau of Markets, “is not
a prophet, nor the son of a proph
et,” but you can rely on his say
ings industrially speaking with
absolute confidence. He says
there is, a tremendous shortage
in hogs it will cause a tremendous
I demand for them next spring, and
the consumers must pay a tre
l mendous price for the pork they
eat. Now isn’t that the truth?
This situatio ncannot be relieved
immediately. It will require quite a
while to overcome it. But the farm
ers, of Georgia can begin immediately
the work of overcoming it. They can
lay their plans for doing so, and they
should do it. Every one should un
dertake to raise more hogs another
year than he has raised this year. In
many instances farmers. should try
to raise from two or three or more
times as many as they have this year.
The idea of Georgia people having to
import millions of pounds of meat a
year in order to supply their needs is‘
really unthinkable, but the fact re
mains that they have to do so—if they
eat any.
Many hundreds of thousands of dol
12rs are sent out of the state annual
‘?_\,‘ to pay for pork that could and
should be raised here in Georgia. And
'certain]y the imported variety is no
better than the home-raised, and,
probably, it is not as good. In some
sections of this state the finest kind
o pork is saved every year, but
tt.ore is not enough of it. In a cer
tnin section of South Georgia the peo
ple have made a reputation for hams
tirey have raised and saved that is
second to none.
Georgians are not availing them
selves of the opportunities that are
afforded them in this, as well as in
a great many other respects. They
are asleep, as it were. And every
{da}- that they sleep means the send
ing of many dollars to other sections
of the country for articles of food
hat Georgians ought to furnish their
neighbors and friends.
