HIGH-WAY SIGN
POSTS NEEDED
THE “NIGH, HIGH, AND DRY WAY”
MUST NOT SUFFER FROM COM
PETITION.
Secretary J. M. Ashley of the Val
dosta Chamber of Commerce has writ
ten a letter to Representative W. H.
Dorris here asking that Cordele join
other cities and towns south of this
point, also north to Macon and At
lanta in a plant to have signs placed
along thc National Highway at prop
er places to inform the traveling pub
lic of the nigh, high, dry way.”
Now that the cities and towns
along the National Highway have sev
eral competitors in the various Dixie
Highways, it is deemed necessary to
designate the National Highway with
proper sign stones or beards in order
that the great army of tourists may
not become confused in their travels.
The National Highway is enjoying a
large tourist traffic and the cities and
towns who keep it up"‘fi‘?‘ant to be sure
that nothing gets away with this trav
el.
The Crisp county commissioners
will be urged to take this matter in
hand and make arrangements to do
this county's portion in the proper ar
rangement of signs. The suggestion
for signs for the city of Cordele is
this: NATIONAL HIGHWAY—CITY
or CORDELE—PLEASE SLOW
DOWN, and on the other side of the
road for outgoing travel: THANK
YOU—COME AGAIN.

OLD CITIZEN
SAYS WE GROW
D, H. LEDBETTER WHO BUILT
TELEPHONE LINES HERE SUR
PRISED AT DEVELOPMENT.
D. H. Ledbetter, one of the original
settlers of Cordele, who is now making
his home in Florida, was here last
Friday, looking after business matters.
Mr. Ledbetter was the founder of the
telephone system in Cordele and was
at the head of this enterp'rise for four
teen years, selling his holdings some
years ago to the Southern Bell system.
He established the original long dis
tance lines to Tifton, Americus, Al-
bany, Abbeville and other surround
ing towns and cities.
1 havo, never seen such rapid de
velopment in a town,” said Mr. Led
better in referring to Cordele’s
growth. He spoke of the numerous
handsome business buildings, church
es and residences especially in the
central section erected since his leav
ing the city, and asserted that, in his
opinion, Cordele’s facilities and its
natural advantages as the center of
one of the richest farming sections in
the world are to make Cordele the
Metropolis of South Georgia.
$lO,OOO EXTENSION
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
WORK BEING COMPLETED LO
CALLY AND MATTER TO BE
PASSED UPON EARLY.
Scarcely more than the formal de
tails remain to be agreed upon bhefere
Cordele will secure a $lO,OOO appro
priation for the exteasion of the Car
negie library. The matter has gone
through some of the necessary details
already and the mayor and council are
now engaged in assisting the trustees
in making the final arrangements for
the matter to go forward to the prop
er source for the appropriation. A
special session of tne body was held
this afternoon for the library business.
Representative Dorris, the trustee
of the library, and Miss Brewer, the
librarian, have for several months
past realized that the extension is al
most an absolute necessity owing to
the growing uses made of the insti
tution.
It is a matter of pride to those in
charge of the library to know that its
usefulness has become so largely in
creased and they are doing all they
can to secure the extcnsion on the
plea that the good to be done is worth
while.

WHILE MEMBERS OF FAMILY
WERE AWAY .WHOLE HOUSE
WAS RANSACKED-—{loo WORTH
OF VALUABLES TAKEN.
When Mr. and Mrs. ITopce Roberts,
who live en Eighteenth avenue, cast,
were away from thieir home Saturday
night, an unknown burglar made a
rich haul after cutting through a
screen to one of the windows of the
home and securing entrance by this
means. The house was completely
sansacked and the belongings of Mr.
and Mrs. Roberts turned topsy-turvey.
Mr. Roberts is manager {or the Hin

Roberts stayed with him at the store,
both going home shortly after 10
o’clock. When Mr. Roberts turned on
Jie electrie light in their bed room,

a ring, two child’'s bracelets with the
monogram “E. L. R.” engraved on
hem, clothing belonging to Mrs. Rob

matches in locating the property that
better suited his taste, setting fire to
a number of garments belonging to
Mrs. Roberts, which he evidently hur
riedly extinguished.

can be mace to spread. 3
It is stated that details of the plan
have been carcfully worked out, that
the machinery is tuned up and ren.dy
to start when the psychological mo
ment arrives.
It is further stated that on the re
ceipt of “Information” that the Cobb
County Hugh Dorsey Club had been
organized, that other clubs have been
organized, or will shortly he organized
and on receipt of copies of resolutions
adopted, names of voters plcdged,
amounts (o campaign expenses, etc.
Mr. Dorsey, it is understood, will yield
to what appears' to be a widespread
demand for him to make the race,
and will -announce himself a candi
date. . )
This announcement, acording to
present plans, will not be: forthcoming
until after the Democratic convention
in Macon May 3rd, for the election of
delegates to the national convention
in St. Louis. 3
The launching of the Cobb county
“boom” will be so timed that Mr. Dor
sey's announcement will be given to
the public about a week or ten days
after the Macon convention.
The supposed politiéal advantage of
launching the -Dorsey “boom”-in Cobb
county are obvious. It was in Cobb
county that Mary Phagan, Leo Frank's
alleged victim, lived before her fam
ily moved to Atlanta. It was in Cobb
county that feeling in the, Frank cdse
ran highest. It was to Cobb county
that the mob took Frank and lynched

Whether political = theories along
this line will prove out when actually
tested remains to be seen. ¢
A promineht Cobb county .lawyer
and politician, who was in the state
capitol Saturday on ‘business, was
asiied to s.ate his opinion. Ile said:
“(‘obl- county folks will turn out to
lonx at Hugh Dorsey as a curiesity.
Whether they will vole for him for
governor is something eise.”
