CORDELE STARTS OUT FOR BALL A GOOD TEAM IS PROMISED FOR SUMMER DIVERSION. With the increasing warmth of the weather and growing sportive senti ment that usually atiaches to the sea son, Cordele is beginning to look about for diversion and recreation for the summer months. Naturally, baseball comes in for first consideration. Pros pects for a good all-college or mixed] team are looking better. The Dispatch is assisting other en thusiasts in making up a fund to in sure the organization of the club, and some liberal subscriptions have al rcady been made. Not a man has been seen who it at all interested in base-‘ ball who has refused to subscribe an amount that he could reasonably af—{ ford. With the proper co-operation the fund should be complete within a week or two, and this will by no means be too late to catch some of the swiftest of the players from the college clubs, since the colleges will not be closing until the middle or lat ter part of the approaching month. Those who are particularly inter ested in the movement to organize a club here are in touch with a number of players who would like to become identified with a clvb in this city and who would be instrumental in secur ing other fast players. As a rule, base ball for the snmmer is a diversion for college players and they will not be difficult to secure, and then, too, some of the best players in the game come from the college clubs. Of course, the fans want the club and there are hundreds of them, and‘ they never mind paying a reasonable‘ admission to witness a good ball game. Cordele has one of the best ball grounds in this section of the state, and its railroad facilities touching sur rounding towns and cities that have their full quota cf baseball enthusiasts, practically guarantees the success of a good ball club for Cordele. Young and old must have diversion and recreation for the summer and if it’s not a ball club, what will it be? INJUNCTION HEARING IN GINNERY CASE Hearing in the injunction suit of Mrs. Sally Perry et at vs. J. M. Diffee, which was scheduled to be held be fore Judge W. F. George of the su perior court at Vienna last Saturday, was postponed until today. This is the litigation involving the the erection of a big ginnery in Cor dele. % THE CORDELE DISPATCH WILL GET FUND LIBRARIAN AND TRUSTEES HIGH LY ELATED OVER ENCOURAGE MENT GIVEN.

The last teachers meeting for the spring term was held at the court house Saturday morning, last. All the county teachers were present except six who were attending the state ed ucational meet at Macon, and two with good excuses. The meeting Saturday was among the best. All the nieetings this spring were betier than usual for the reason that the teachers all took part, respond ed to subjects cof their own selection and in other ways. President Snell has presided over cach meceting. The Pregram. The program Saturday was divided into two parts. The first part was re sponses to subjects of their own selec tion by a number of the teachers, as tollows: Huey Wright—*“Education as a Preparation for Complete Living.” J. W. Spires—*"That Bad Boy.” Miss Maude Williams—" The Aims of Education.” Miss Tommic Wade—"lmportance of Grading the Recitation and Keep ing the Class Record.” Miss Alma Wade—" Manners and Morals.” J. D, Spires—*“Agriculture.” Miss Maude Taylor—"“Necessity of Habit-Training in the School.,” Miss Lola Lee—'The Importance of Thoroughness.” Second Part. The second part of the program con sisted of a call of the roll of the dif ferent schools and responses by the tcachers telling of the accomplish ments during the year. This second division of the program was handled nicely by the teachers. Many of the schools had made remark able improvements upon their build irg and grounds, while others devoted most of their talks to the accomplish nents inside the school room-—noting rrogress in one direction or another as best they could under all the cir cumstances. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Johnson thanked the teachers for their help and co-op eration in their corn and canning club worl, inviting those teachers who re main in the county to continue their co-operation during the summer and fall months. County School Superiniendent Biv ins heartily thanked the teachers for their faithful and efficient work dur ing the school year just closing, as sured them of his sincere appreciation of the courtesy shown by the teachers to their county superintendent and their hearty co-operation in making this one oi the most successful years in many respects, in the history of the schools of Crisp county. REPRESENTATIVES OF SUMPTER, DOOLY AND CRISP ARE DOWN AT WORK ON PLANS FOR NEW BRIDGE. A project is under way to span the Flint river with a steel bridge at Mur ray’s Ferry, near Drayton, aboutl two miles north of the Crisp county line in Dooly county. County Commissioners Walton, Lester and Ford of Dooly county were in Cordele to in terest the county commissioners of Crisp county in the undertaking Satur day morning. Saturday afternoon the commissioners of Sumter and Dooly counties met at the site o' the pro poser bridge and discussed plans for bridging the project to a successful culmination. The Crisp commissioners heard the proposition outlined by the Dooly com missioners without taking any definite action. They determined to feel the pulse of the pgople of Crisp. Definite action will be taken by Commission ers Byrd, Sheppard and Connor at their regular monthly mceting on the first Tuesday in May. It is one and onc-halt miles furither from Cordele to the site of the pro posed bridge than from Vienna, hut ‘here is a splendid highway leading troig Cordele immediately to Murray's L'erry. The proposition is to make the bridge at this ferry take the place of the proposed bridge at Hugenin's Ferry, linking the highways between Cordele and Americus. Actual ac counting of the distance shows that it would be two miles nearer to Americus from Cordele by way of the bridge at Murray's Ferry it is pointed out, than it would be by way of Hugenin's Fer ry. There are also splendid highways leading from Vienna and Americus to Murray's Ferry. FINE YEAR'S WORK IN CRISP SCHOOLS CORN AND CAMNNING CLUBS HAVE DONE GOOD WORK AND CIRCU LATING LIBRARY IS NOW BEING SOUGHT. The twenty-five county schools of Urisp will close within the following two weeks, and a number, practically all of them, will observe the occasion with closing exercises in music, elo cution and oratory, or with excellent picnics. These events will be largely attended by the citizens of the respec tive communities and by others from alls parts of the county. The county schools have made un usual records during the year now closing. Not only have they advanced exceptionally well ni literary training, but in the agricultural depariments associated with these cchools, most gratifiying progress has been made. The Boys' Corn Club has been aug mented by 2 large number of new members from the various schools, and the Girls’ Canning club has increased in number much beyond that of last year. The growing work in these de partments reveals [ine co-operation with the teachers on the part of J. A, Johnson, the farm demonstrator who has taken a most active interest in the corn club. Mrs. Johnson and oth ers have made every opportunity count in behalf of the canning club. The suggestions and plans of the county school superintendent, J. W. Bivins, in advancing the schools have been of inestimable value. In discussing with a Dispatch repre sentative the county schools and their progress for the year, Mr. Bivins said: “We have experienced the hest year in the history of the ~ouniy. Sincerest mterest and most cairnest cooperation has been manites'ed on every hand. The average general attendance has been the best, and the numbr of pupils enrolle¢ has been unusually large .not withstanding that measles and whoop ing cough have been quite prevalent in most sections of the county. “This is the only county in the state that has conducted summer schools for the young men and young ladies for the past three years, and this is the only county in the state that has county membership in a public libra. Y. State School Superintendent i L. Brittain and State Supervisor F. E. Land both are enthusiastic over the progress of this nlan. [Extensive preparations for the wel fare of the schools for the following vear are already under way, an under taking in which County Superintend ent Bivins, the board of iibrary trus tees and Miss Brewer, librarian of the local library, who are giving him their assistance, arec espccially interested is that of purchasing 300 volumes of library books, suitable for children from the first through the fifth grades, to form a circulating library for the schools. 1t is proposed to place the three hundred volumes in twenty-five hool: cases, a dozen books to the case, thus allowing each school an equal share in the library from the start. Each case would bhe allowed to re main at a school onc month, after which it would be transferred to an other school, creating a system where by the library would become circulat ing cach month, and each school would eventually get the benefit of the en tire three hundred volumes. LADIES MAY TAKE HOLD OF CITY PARK A plan is being inaugurated among the four working women’s clubs of the city, the D. A. 8., U. D. C., Thalian and Symphony clubs, to construct a joint club house in the city park at the cor per of Seventh street and Fiftecnth avenue. The four clubs are now work ing i conjunction in devising plans. A board of managers will be in charge of plans for securing the club house. The mayor and city council have un der advisement the matter of divid ing the grounds of the park in order that the four clubs may have an equal opportunity to becautify these grounds by laying out walks, planting flowers, shrubbery, etc., preparatory to the con struction of thie club house. It is possible that the four organ izations will in this manner be able to take hold of the city park and pro vide a splendid place of recreation.

PAYING TRIBUTE T 0 SOLDIERS OF GRAY FINE PROGRAM CARRIED OUT AT CITY AUDITORIUM—GRAVES OF CONFEDERATES DECORATED. The South is today commemorating the valorous deeds and chivalry of the heroes of the sixtiey, and Cordele and Crisp county are contributing their tull share of honor to the men who wore the gray. Impressive exercises, attended by an audience that filled the public school auditorium to its full seating capacity, were prepared and carried out under tlie auspices of the Tallulah Atkins Chapter United Dauvghters of the Confederacy. The exercises began at 10 o'clock and con cluded after the noon hour with the decoration of the graves of the Con federates at Sunnyside cemetery.

The usual decorations for the oc casion, flags, bunting and flowers, wera artistically arranged in the audivoriuni, while palms, ferns and flowers made the rostrum where the speakers and others were seated most attractive. The special music arranged by the Symphony club and the songs by the school added most impressively to the exercises. The Crisp county camp No. 1614 United Confederate Veterans and their wives occupied scats in a hody imme diately in front of the rostrum. The Crisp county camp Sons of Veterans were also seated in a body, as were the Daughters of Confederacy. The veterans and their wives wero cntertained at an elaborate dinner as the guests of the Daughters of Con federacy and the Sons of Veterans. The Confederate monument was dec orated by the Boy Scouts of the eity. From a patriotic, historical and ora torical standpoint, the address of Ilon. J. M. Moore, Mayor of Jackson, who was the principal spealker of the oc casion, was a masterly effort. ke was frequently interrupted with enthusias tic applause and the veterans checred his words. Others who took part on the pro gram carried out their parts ably, and altogether they made the day all that worthy tribute to the noble Confed erates, living and dead, called for.
