IN THIS ISSUE TO GIVE AWAY—
GO FOR HIM.
VOLUME VII.
CLEAN-UP WEEK
SANITARY INSPECTOR BUSSEY
MAKING PREPARATION FOR A
. CLEANER CITY.
The seccond week in April has been
proclaimed ‘“clean-up” week, and San
itary Inspector W. E. Bussey is calling
on the residents of Cordele to make it
a real clean-up week both in spirit and
name,
Mr. Bussey states that there are a
number of preperty holders and resi
dents in different parts of the city who
have not responded to his appeals by
cleaning up their premises, and plac
ing the trash and rubbish where the
wagons can get it. Therc are ample
facilities in his department, he says,
to take care of the needs and desires
of all residents in cleaning up the city
and keeping it clean.
Following the clean-up crusade he
will make a personal inspection from
the center to every corner eof the city,
at which time, in event of failure of
any one to comply with the sanitary
laws, he expects to exercise his au
thority of making cases against such
offenders. Mr. Bussey also calls at
tention to a disinfection that the city
has provided at the city stockade for
free distribution among those needing
same, and that this disinfection can
be secured at the noon hour or at 5
o’clock cach afternoon.

The Ilebrew population of Cordele,
together with others from several

MADE “‘DIME DAY
STATE PRESIDENT WORKI!NG FOR
STEPHENS MEMORIAL SCHOOL.
Friday, March 24th, has been set
apart by the state president of the U.
D. C. as “Dine Day” for the Stephens
Memorial school at Crawfordville, Ga.
Not only members of the U. D. C. ali
over the state, but every man, woman
and child is urged to give the small
amount of one dime toward this me
morial] to the vice president of the
Confederacy—Alexander Steplens.
This school is to be a branch of the
statc university and will be the means
of carrying out the great desire and
wish of Stephens which was the edu
cation of deserving boys and girls in
Georgia. Alexander Stephens him
self was a poor boy and had to borrow
money for his education. Later in life
nothing gave him greater pleasure
than to aid some struggling young
man to obtain an education. He
shared equal interest in the education
of girls and was the first to secure a
charter for a female college for clas
sics and art, thus giving to Georgia
in the Wesleyan college at Macon, the
first chartered college for women in
the world.
Boxes will be placed at each of the
drug stores in charge of Mrs. Perry
Clegg and her committee, and by put
ting in your dime, you will help make
this, not a gentle shower of dimes, but
a perfect cloudburst of them, for a
most excellent cause.
Mrs. J. W. Bivins and Mrs. Max E.
Land are the local committee in Cor
dele of the work.
JUDGE WHIPPLE SPOKE.
About one hundred men heard a lec
ture on “Stewardship,” delivered last
Sunday morning by Judge U. V. Whip
ple before the Men's Bible class of tha
First Baptist Sunday school, taught by
Mr. R. L. Luffman. The lecture was
replete with striking and enlightening
thoughts. z
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
CORDELE WILL
LOCAL MERCHANTS WIiLL HAVE
THE FINEST AND LATEST TO
OFFER FOR EASTER TRADE.
Easter style shows, the formal an
nouncement of the arrival of spring,
will be no more elaborate in any any
city than in Cordele. The merchants
of the city have augmented their
their stocks with unusually complete
and attractive lines of spring and sum
mer wear, and the most {fastidious
among Cordeie’s fair sex will meet
with no disappein‘!ment in making
their purchases from local merchants,
nor wiil they in their future purchases
for the season. Those catcering to the
millinery, ready-to-wear and dress
goods trade have especially excelled
in the slection of their iaster stocks,
and the gorgeously decorated show
windows of these stores are a constant
reminder c¢f the taste and enterprise
of the merchants. All that the cdict
of fashion has provided for the season
is found here in quality, if not in quan
tity, as is found in the larger cities,
and cnly the ncedless excuse of not
being informed will cause anyone o go
clsewhere for Easter goods, or for any
thing that is needed, from hear to
foct, for spring and summer wear.
And the husbands and brothers have
rot been forgotten by the merchants
in their efforts to afiord the proper
and most comforiable toggery for the
season. Stocks of men’s furnishing
are complete, as given in best evidence
by the well arranged show window
displays and well laden shelves.

GENERAL HUMBERT
The youngest i‘rench genera! commanding an army in the field—General
iiumberi—is having the chance at Verdun of gambling for thg highest stakes
of military renown, ar opportunity to be envied by all his fellow commanders.
He was appointed to take charge of the forces in the Argonne early last fall.
succeeding Generai Sarrail, who had come into conflict with General Joilree
and General Millerand, then secretary of war.
General Sarrail was sent to Salonica and Humbert was chosen to oppose
the attack which the German crown pr.nce has been making against the for
tress at Verdue at intervals for a year and o half. -‘
General Humbert was only a major when the war started, and his rapid
promotion has been due to his ability to carry ou! the plans of General Joffre,
who is now at Verdun directing the defense. :
INTEREST IN PRIMARY
~BROUGHT HEAVY VOTE
Though interest in the Crisp county
primary, which was held last Friday,

passed off quictly and orderly in every
way. Sheriff Ward led his next high
est opponent, L. M. Sumner, former
chief of police of Cordele, by a major
ity of 282 votes. Ward received 709
votes and Sumner 427. Iqually as
much interest was attached to the race

CORDELE TO SEE
" DARKTOWN BELLES
THE BIGGEST, BEST AND FUNNI
EST MINSTREL SHOW OF THE
SEASOCN.
I'or the first time in Cordele's his
tory we are to have a real live, up
to-date minstrel show. And the com
vany is composed cntirely of ladies,
not a single man appearing on the
program!!
The Woodmen of the World have be
gun their campaign for financing their
“log rolling” which is going to be en
tertained by the Cordele lodge in July,
and they have hit cn a very novel en
tertainment for a beginning.
They Lave intercsted about thirty
five of our most popular matrons and
maids to assist in the production, and
the ladies of the company are more
than enthusiastic over the merits of
the show.
Every mniinstrel maid will be dis
guised behind a layver of burnt cork
and woolly wigs and will make merry
in minstrelsy. They are going to cake
walk, sing coon songs, ‘rattle de bones’
and beat dat tambo, do fancy dances
and clever specialties, a side splitting
burlesque and phantom songs, anid
tell jokes and local-hits that are new
and really funny. In fact it’s an *““All
Star” company and they'll put on a
show with which no circus can com
rare.
They will aiso play the opening bhase
ball game of the scason. Miss Sylvia
Pattee iz the only woman pitcher us
ing the “spit ball,” while the way Mag
nolia Melba eats up the fast ones is
the wonder of all. One of our local
fans who has scen the minstrel maids
“work out” is betting all his own
available cash and all he can horrow
on their winning the game.
This is the exact minstrel show giv
en in Macon in December that made
such a iremendous hit—only with our
own charming ladies in the caste. So
it will he even better than the Macon
show, for, of course, our ladies are
more talented than those of any other
cily ten times its size.
Miss Hall, the director, makes a
specialty of ladies minstrels and has
few equals, and no peers in her line.
She guarantees this to be the best and
funniest show ever seen in Cordele.
The show will be given at the Opera
{Touse next Monday and Tuesday even
ing and the reserved seats will be on
sale Saturday at Ryals Drug Co. Come
early and avoid the rush.

MAY PLAY WITH
SEVERAL TOWNS
CORDELE ENTHUSIASTS BEGIN
TO SEE CHANCES TO HAVE
BASEBALL.
Plans looking to the organization of
a baseball club for Cordele during the
approacliipg secason continue to pro
gress, and there is every reason to be
lieve that the opening of the season
will find Cordele with a fast mixed or
all-college team that will compete well
with the teams of the other surround
ing cities. Fitzgerald, Americus, Ifaw
kinsville, Mentezuma, Tifton and other
towns already have preliminary plans
under way for the organization of
swift clubs. It is proposed that a
schedule be adopted taking in all of
these towns and others which may
support reasonably good teams. Such
a schedule could include three playing
days for cach club well scattered dur
ing the week, or fixed on such a basis
as would meet with approval of the
clubs concerned.
The Cordele enthusiasts feel es
pecially gratified over the probability
that Johnny Henderson, all-round
athlete. and for two years manager of
Georgia’s fast team, can be secured to
nanage Cordele's club this season, and
in event a deal can be closed with
him, he will bring an entire team, or
as many good college players as may
bhe desired.
I, L. Bartholomew and W. li. Par
rish, who are among the most enthu
siastic advocates of a ball club, are
in communication with promoters of
teams in several of the surrounding
towns relative to the proposed sched
ule. April 15 or May 1 are dates pro
posed as opportunc times for opening
the season.

CHOLERA CAMPAIGN
T 0 SAVE THE HOGS
County Demonstrator Agent John
son has begun a campaign to prevent
cholera among the herds of hogs all
over the county. He is urging the
farmers to do their full duty and has
made his paper on this subject as sim
ple as it can possibly be made with a
view of getting better results.
IHis communication follows: 4
“Let's give the hog crop its dues as
we are getting the other crops started
oft in god style. The most cfficient
remedy for the lice, (and these things
eat a mighty lot of corn for a great
many of us) is the cheap crude oily
which can be sceured from the oil deal
ers or the hardware' storcs. Get a
quantity of it and mix enough koro
sene to make it run well and give the
lice a dose. Burn old beds. Give these
corn robbers a chase for their exis
tence. v
“Try to wage a greater war on hog
cholera. -Although the disease’ is-viru
lent and spreads swiftly, itt may be
controlled. Successful war may be
waged against it when it is understood.
“Prompl recognition of hog cholera
is of greatest importance. Delay may
mean heavy losses. Prompt action
makes it possible to stamp out the
disease with only small losses. Every
sick hog should be looked upon with
suspicion and studied until there ig
no doubt about the cause of its sick
ness. It might be added here that no
one can determine accurately by ex
ternal symntoms that cholera is among
hogs. When there is the least doubt
about the discase being cholera, that
should be settled promptly by killing
one of the sickest pigs and examining
its carcass. This is a sure method.
“Proper sanitation is important to
prevent chiolera from making its ap
pearance in a community or in a herd
and it is important in driving it out if
it has made its appcarance. There
can be no successful anti-cholera war
that does not recognize these facts.
“Just how vital\ sanitary measures
like cleanliness, disinfection and quar
antine are, bocomes clear on consider
ing the nature of hog cholera. It ig
caused by a germ or microbe which
finds its way to theé bhlood of the sick
animal. This germ is.so small that
it has never been seen, through cven
the most powerful microscope, and it
is known solely by the evidences of
what it does. From the blood it makes
its way to the excretions; it is to be
found particularly in the urine of sick
or exposed animals and to some extent
in the faces. Natural infection gener
ally proceeds from such excretions té
the digestive tract of other animals,
although they may also become in
fected through eating the flesh of dead
cholera hogs. 1t is a most persistent
and virulent germ which will continue
to live under most adverse circum
stances from one season fo another.
Winter's cold will not kill it and it
may be carried far without losing any
of its discase giving power. R
“Perhaps the cause of the-greatest
loss of hogs in the south is worms. If
hogs are already wormy, turpontine
can be given in the slop each morning
for three mornings, at the rate of one
teaspoonful for each 80 pounds of live
weight. One of the best preventives
measures is to keep a mixture of char
coal, ashes, lime, salt, sulphur, and
copperas where the hogs can eat it at
will. Mix in the following proportions,
charcoal, 1 bushel; hardwood ashes,
1 bushel; 8 pounds of salt; 8 pounds
of air-slacked lime; 4 pounds of sul
phur; 2 bushels of pulverized copperas.
“Mix the lime, salt, and sulphur
thoroughly and then mix with the char
coal and ashes. Dissolve the cop’pe'ra;s
in one-half gallon of hot water and
sprinkle over the whole mass, mixing
it thoroughly. Store in a barrel under
shelter, but keep some of it in a shal
low box for the hogs at all times.
“An ounce of preventive is worth a
ton of cure.” e
