- THE AMENDMENT AND ITS ‘1
RESULT ON CRISP COUNTY
Bq Sadye Cohen :
At 3:30 Friday"p. m. Cordele was
‘happy. The whistles blew, the bells
~rang, the‘fire trucks screamed, and
_those terrible automobile horns! Fri
iday night the celebration started
over again at 8 o’clock. There was 2
: big parade which ended with a
lérge bonfire on Twelfth avenuc.
A:gain we heard whistles both fie
and train, the fire trucks; bells and
the more than terrible automobile
;:h'prns! The people of Crisp county
were celebrating the passage of the
“hmendment authorizing them to is
s{fie bonds for a hydro-electric devcl
opment on Flint river. The passagc
d!’ the amendment by which the
wasted energy of the flint river may
bé utilized is of the greatest eco
nomic interest to this entire section
.of the state.
; Crisp county worked faithfully to
secure this amendment. All the busi
ness houses, with the exception of
the grocery stores, were cldgsed Tues
day, November the second, and the
business men went to the several
county sites in Georgia to sponsor
the amendment. The chief opposition
to'fll'fl%'mendment was in Chatram
counw}xen 1,301 votes were for it
and s,oos_‘were against it. This was
inspired by the consolidated Hydro
electric Power Company of {he
South whose main office is in Su.

WHAT'S THE YOUNGER
GENERATION COMING TO?
By Dot K'ker
Many many years ago, it
When grandma was a girl, ;
They didn’t have the hair bobbed
But in a dainty curl.
They didn’t even look at men,
"Twas terrible to flirt, o
Boys wore knee trousers,
Girls—sweeping skirts. =,
But then the older folks would sit
Around the fire, and say,
“The young folks are most shocking,
It wasn’t so in our day” :
And the younger folks would listen
Weuld théy ‘never get thréugh
Saying, “what’s the younger
Generation coming to?”
The younger folks all grew up.
Sweering skirts were no more;
You could see a lady’s ankle,
And it was not so before.
The grown up ones would still say
The story ever new,
“My, my' What’s the younger
Generation coming to?
The dresses now are shorter still,
The boys wear belle pants,
- And its most outrageous :
The way the young folks dance |
i They start out~at midnight, ‘
Up till one and two, }
Now the old folks are wondering, |
l What the next young folks wii! do. ‘
! Now soon they will be grown ‘
“And sing the song again rics e
That old song that so long
Has been handed down to men. - -
Yes, they too, will be saying,
Of the absurd things you do
“I wonder what the younger
Generation’s coming to.”

FOOT BALL!

C. H. 8. played Americus last Fri
day in football, Cordele was well
represented both on the lines and on
l the field. The game was very spirit
| ed, and as Americus has always
‘played us a dirty game, this was no
l exception. Cordele is now cutting off
all athietic relationship with them,
‘ Rogers starred for Cordele hoth in
offense and defense. He made some
‘ wide, end runs and _smacked * good
gains through the line. He always got
‘ his man and hit hard. Cox and Stro
zier playing ends played a noticeable
[ game. Cox never.let'a man pass him
' while Strozier handled his man well,
| Williamson and Lasseter, our guards,
played their best games and stuck,
fighting to the end. McKay played a
lgood game at tackle while J, Wil
iliamg held down tackle and played
‘a noticeable part fighting the entire
lgame. Griffin at center played his
hardest, and deserves credit. Powers
played quarter, managing: the team
well 'and making some remarkable
gains at end runs qnd'qimshint the
line. Dominick was our largest gain
‘ ;er. His speed and drive netted many
'words to his credit ‘and his tackling
was vgry good.. B, Williams and
Childers played half and both got.
credit for their part. kogers’ punt
ing was the best of the season. The
entire team gets their credit for
meeting their oppofiefiis at their own
game, and althdugfi‘the game stop~

‘A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE OR
CORDELE, TEN YEARS HENCE
By Maxine Land
A big Lincoln Sedan, whose oe
cupants were former citizens of Cor .
dele, came whizzing along the Na
tional Highway—a road of great pic
turesqueness, with its hard » shiniag
surface, bordered on each side by
clusters of native evergreen trees,
interspersed with blooming dogwood
and crepe myrtle—eager to see what
changes had taken placein the “ole
home town” during the years of their
absence.
Their first surprise upon nearing
the city was the substantial and
splendid concrete underpass which
served as the northern entrance and
as a means of safety to all travellers
alike, -
It was toward dusk, as the travel
ers approached the business section
and entered the brilliantly lighted
wh'itg -way which lead into the heart
of the city. Many peaple filled the
the streets, all moviné, about rapid
ly, each intent upon his destination.
So conjested were the streets with
traffic and travel that traffic cops
were stationed at each interseétion
to direct the people, as the alternat
ing red and green lights were dis
played. Now and then, it became
necessary for the cops to hoid the
A“stop" sign in order that the street
cars might pass on.
To avoid the- crowd and to szee
more of the city, the travellers took
a side street, which lead into anoth
er thoroughfare down which they
passed many substantial buildings,
and from there into the factory suc
tion, where to their surprise they
saw cotton mills, furniture and can
ning factories, lumber mills and alfo
many enterprises which em"ploy'e'd
thousands of workmen and provided
the city wit:i a large monthly payrcll.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
ART IN OUR
EXPRESSION
' Not content with ' seeing thd
changes in the business seation of
Cordele, the travellers motoréd over
into the residential section of the
city. There they saw many beautiful
} homes, some of modern architecture,
~and others of colonial type, éacl{m
-with its well kept lawn and green
luxuriant shrubbery,” its brilliant
flowers and trailing vines, Each pre
sented a picture of rare and unusual
beauty. Riding further, they came to
a wonderful building, surrounded by
gpacious grounds and at once they
recognized this to be the Community
Club House. Many other large and
imposing buildings among which
were Cordele’s magnificent churches,
were seen. :
,Being somewhat weary from the
.day’s travel they decided to rest for
a while, and so registered at one of
Cordele’s newest hotels. There in a
spa,.cious' dining room of artistic
beauty, they enjoyed a well served
dinner, : g
Later, in the evening, the travelé‘
ers continued their ride out thel
beg'utifully lighted white way past
Kelly Hill and on to one of the
great assets of the city—the Coun
try Club.. As they neared its large
opéh grounds, music and laughter
were heard and app&-‘oaching nearer
theisaw that the pavillion was filled
with the youth of the community
gaily attired and enjoying the pleas
ures of music and dancing.
After spending a delightful even
ing there they returned to their hotel
for the night, surprised and delight
ed with the many marvelous changes
that had come to their former home.
Early the following morning the
travelers, sfil] wondering what had
wrought so Fgr}pat a change in Cor
déle, met a group of former friends
and prominent citizens in which
time had not wrought in noticeable
change. The travellers approaching
nearer recognized them, as being Mr I
C. E: Brown, Mr. J. J. Williags, Dr.
J. A. Ward, and Mr. Dobbin Holmes.
After a most frienflly and cordial
greeting, the travellers inquired
“what has wrought such a complete
and marvelous change in the ciiy of
Cordele?” i .
The four -citizens, with a knowin:z
smile invited their former friends to
accompany them on a short ride
whereupon they were whisked out
nine miles from the city to where
the million and a quarter dollar hy
dro-electric power dam harnesses
Flint river. And then ;h'ey were told
the story of how the x;eople of Crisp
county—men, women and children—
with loyalty and with the vision of
an ideal city, worked day and night
to bring about the amendment. to the
constitution of Georgia, which- made
the dam possible, -and which?made
Cordele the “Hub-of South Gébrgia"

‘We Impress Selling for
Cash Because It’s a Reason.
For Lo Prices’’—Philibosias
Well-Knowr: Furniture Dealer
¥ { viy ‘
Gives Interesting Interview
on Unique Merchandising
Policy of Firm. :
The writer recently called on Ste
phen Philibosian at his beautiful fur
niture, rug and drapery gtore at 581
Peachtree street, Atlanta, for the pur
pose of getting him to explain why!
he ‘emphasized the fact in all his ad
vertising that he sells ‘“strictly for
Q&Sh."
Most firms that require the cash!
with the merchandise they sell men
‘ tion this fact incidentally in their ad-’
ivm‘tismg. but the firm of Stepheni
Philibosian, Ine, stresses it in all
their advertising copy, and a huge
-electric sign on top of the store pro
claims to the world that here is a
business that sells stricily for cash.
“We feature this end of our busi
ness,” said Mr. Philibosian, “because
it 1s a logical and forceful reason
why we can sell Quality Merchandise
for TLower Prices.
“Our store requiges Mrs. Wealth to
pay cash just as we require Mrs. Mod
srately-Well-to-Do. The reason is not
a question of credit, #fi: it is merely
2 merchandising plan.. When people
come to our .store and pay cash for
furniture, rugs and draperies, jhey do
not resent the fact that they are re-'
quired to pay cash, because they know|
that 1t is not because we would not|
welcome thelr account, provided we!
were operating a credit business, but
because of our cash plan we are able
to sell them real quality me?_handise
at lower prices than they have been
accustomed to paying. >
“Anyone who visits ocur store and
sees the character of the merchandige
we are offering and compares the
prices we ask for this “merchandise
with what the public pays for it on

“So when a person seces in Guirs &

upon the “public’ that ' withouh do ul
we offer values in furnituré, rugg.gA
draperies that cannot be duplifcated i
the term store.” ! :"&
Never a . Special Bale. . &
Another thing ‘explainéd by 4
Philibosian -was why he says “Ney§
a Special Sale.” , T
“Our policy s to give our custon
ers the benefit of low prices é&wé
month in the year. It is not &P 8
of our plan to wait for a particuli
,month, mark our merchandise dow
and then mark the same'merchandi
back up next month. . .
“When new furniture arrives in'g

prices in the beginning, We put &g
low prices on this mertaandlni,r h
it does not stay on our floors &
depend upon a special sale for remoN

us to keep merchardise moving. =
“By never holding & special: #ale,§

a purchase and go away,kno,wm'g'.-_
nobody could come to us and buy tH

Always New Merchandise. = -
- “Another advantage in operating s
a low margin of profit and in kedpis
merchandising moving,” satd Mr. Phi}§
bosian, “is the fact that our custom
ers are always assured of the vel
