The entire nineteen lots went at prices which sesmed satisfac tory to both buyers and the sellér. Local business mien did the bidding and the property went into the hands{ of several persons who are planning improvements. . The sgle was conducted by Frank Varnadoe in a big band wagon in right up-to-the-minute style. The crowd was a representative one, and the buyers were among the best business people of the community. , : ; The entire sale wag but a manifes tation of strong faith in the good val ues that will cling to the property as an investment.’ = . THE GREAT RECORD ; OF SILVERTOWN TIRES It is 960 miles ‘from New York to Chicago. - The - “Twentieth Century” Limited covers these 960 miles in 20 hours, with five stops for passengers, besides change of locomotives. That i -an average of about 48 miles per hour, over a nearly- perfect roadbed of steel rails. On Tuesday last, May 2nd, at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway, N. Y., Ralph Mulford drove a Hud son Automobile 1,520 miles at an av erage speed of 76 1-2 miles per hour. That is more than 50 per cent faster that the 48 mile per hsur speed of the «Twentieth Century” 'Limited on its roadway of steel. Muiford made this average with ten stops for gasoline and oil—beating the worli’s record to a frazzle, of course; but the most signi ficant and impressive thing about this was the following—Milford made the 1,520 miles at that prodigious average of speed without changing a tire. The famous Silvertown cord tire made this record. 3 Tar CoOrRDELE DISPATCH 'MBMR'S DAY L gl it THE WHTE FLOWER TO BE WORN AS A TRIBUTE TO BEST WOMAN IN WORLD. * This is Mother’s Day, and the white flower, emblematic of mother’s love and purity, is being worn' today by hundreds of Cordele men, women and children, and services that will fitting- Iy pay her tribute and commemorate her virtues will be observed either in the morning sermon, Sunday school or other éxercises in all of the church es of the city. ) _ An occasion that attaches unusual interest to the ddy will be the joint Mothers’ Day exercises, held under the, auspices of the Fort Early chapter D. A. R, the First Baptist church at 4 o’'clock Sunday afternoon. The sen it.iment of the occasion expressed in ‘all of the exercises of the day, and es pecially in the exercises to be held under the auspices of the D. A. R, is “The conservation of the home through mother and through the home the con servation of a nation’s preparedness.” A resolution adopted by the D. A. R.. conference, held at Columbus during last) Febriary, was to the effect that each chapter of this organization ob serve Mother's Day in appropriate ex ercises. | An especially appropriate and ex cellent program has been arranged for these exercises. Several quartettes, solos, and violin mustc, together with a number of talks by the ministers and presidents of the women’s clubs of the city, will be included. The young la dies of the D. A. R. will form a com mittee to pin white flowers on men attending the exercises. The white carnation is the official flower for Mother’s Day, though all kinds of white flowers are wo.n. luﬁ' E. M. Bspy, regent of the D. A. R. chapter, who is largely responsi ble for the program to be presented, in 2 talk will explain that it was nev er intended that any flower other than the white should be worn on Mother’s Day, and this because white is emble matic of purity. Florists, states Mrs. Espy, have attemped to commercialize the day and destroy its sentiment, by substityting a red flower because of their inability to furnish the white flower that the occasion has demand ed, POLIGE CHIEFS - SOON T 0 MEET FORMER CORDELE CHIEF PLANS FOR STATE CONVENTION TO BE "HELD IN.SAVANNAH JULY 5, 6. L. M. Sumner, president of the Geor gia State Associgtion of Chiefs of Po lice and Marshals, under authority ves tad in him by the association, has is sued a ¢all for the annual meeting of the association to be held in Savannah on July 5 and 6. An excellent program is being ar ranged by First Vice President Mel drim, chief ‘of police of Savanah, Seec ond Vice President L. E. Brooks, chief of pelice of Athens, and Secretary and Treasurer J. P. Griffin, of West Point. They have slated some of the pclice heads of Georgia’s largest cities for addresses on this occasion. Discus gion affecting conditions generally over the state, new ideas and new princi ples will be held. ‘The initial meeting of the associa tion was held during August last year at Macon. Police chiefs, marshals and other officers from all sections of the state were in attendance, and the de liberations of the body were given widespread publicity. Being the orig inator of the plan to organize associa tion, L. M. Sumner, then chief of po lice of Cordele, was made president. Among other matters that the asso ciation passed on was the unanimous adoption of a resolution, putting a ta boo on all intoxicating drinks at their meetings and receptions. Notwithsand ing Savannah’s reputation in such in stances, the president of the associa tion states that principle of the body will be strictly upheld in the approach ing gathering; that if the new prohi bition law has not brought around such a condition as to make strong drinks at their meeting impossible, that the delegates will of their own accord make it prohibitive.
