JURY GOT CASE AT NOON TODAY
—HATLEY MAN SOON TO KNOW
RESULTS.
Tom W. Warren has been on trial
since Tuesday morning in the superior
court for his life on the charge of
murdering Clifton Spikes near Hatley
two months ago. The court room has
been well filled with citizens from
that section of the county and more
than 100 witnesses have been sworn.
Many of these were not used, how
ever. . '
The argument for and against the
accused man was concluded this morn
ing and the case went to the jury af-!
ter Judge George’s charge. Large num-'
bers of people have manifested an in-‘
terest in the case 'and the.outcome
will be watched all over the county. ‘
The altercation which resuited in
the death of Clifton Spikes and the se
rious injury of C. A. Spikes ended in
the arrest of Tom Warren, who gave
himself up after having used a revol
ver that dealt death and injury in
the fight. Warren asserted that he
used the revolver in self defense and
this has been his plea in the present
trial. He was released from jail early
after the killing under bond of $7,500.
On effort to indict the grand jury re
turned a no-bill and -a warrant was
sworn out.
Mayor Gordon Jones, Judge U. V.
Whipple, and Solicitor General J. B.
Wall delivered arguments today for
the..prosecution, .while. O. T. Gower,
Judge Max Land and Hal Lawson of
Abbeville presented the side of the]
defense. j
A verdict is expected within a shorti
time atte}' the case goes to the jury. ‘
WIGGINS, NEGRO TIGER,
IN TOILS OF THE LAW
Josh Wiggins, noted negro tiger op
erator, is an inmate of Crisp county
jail. Sheriff Ward laid plans last
week when he missed Josh in a night
raid that proved the negro’s undoing
and he is now a boarder at the jail.
Wiggins ‘was_;picked off when he
tried to communicate with his home
by going in person. Depity McGarity
made the arrest.
Josh has a number of cases which
he will have to. explain, but his near
est trouble will come of the sheriff’s
having found some fair samples of the
goods in Josh’s house the other night
in a raid.
PALMER GREEN’S
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARD YOUNG
MAN AT METHODIST CHURCH
SUNDAY NIGHT.
An immense audience, composed of
members of the different denomina
tions of the city, the Baptist church
calling in their evening services in
deference to the occasion, assembled
at the First Methodist church to lis
ten to the first pulpit effort of Palmer
Green, a young man, who has been
reared in Cordéle and who is widely
beloved here.
In a very affectionate manner, the
pastor, Rev. Walter Anthony, alluded
to the young man as one of his “boy
preachers,” saying that no happening
within his pastorate at Cordele has so
deeply touched his heart as the of
fering of .three young men for the
ministry, Rev. Walter Churchwell,
brother of Messrs. A. F. and. J. H.
Churchwell and Messrs. Anthony
Hern, nephew of Rev. Anthony and
Palmer Green. Mr, Anthony contrast
ed his first pulpit effort, a ‘“‘stranger
among strangers,” far removed from
the kindly environments of the speak
er of the evening, the hearts of whose
hearers were vibrant with prayful,
sympathetic interest.
The speaker prefaced his discussion
by expressions of appreciation of each
kindly utterance of himself. “The
dominant characteristics of the life
and ministry of the Master—faith, obe
dience and submission to the Father’s
will,” were clearly, forcefully present
ed, evincing in his conception of the
spiritual truths personal knowledge
and application in his own heart and
life. ) ;
Responding to a proposition of Mr.
Anthony, practically the entire audi
ence gave expression in the cordial
hand clasp, of sincere good wishes for
Cordele’s “boy preacher.”

PORTO RICO SUGAR MEN
MAKING LARGE PROFITS
San Juan, Porto Rico., May 23.—Por
to Rican sugar producers are making
unexpectedly large prgfits, owing to
the conditions of the crops and the
prices obtained in consequence of the
European war. In the Guanica district
where the season ends this month the
output will be about 75,000 tons. One
of the larger sugar companies, which
operates in the Guanica district an
nounced today that its 15,000 em
loyees would receive a bonus of 10
per cent of their pay.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1916.
E Cordele’s prospects for the organiza
-1 tion of a swift team is a source of grat
yification to the promoters of the club.
' The class of players that have been
’lined up so far doubtless gives Cor
[dc—le equal chances with any other
‘club in the league. All lecal prepar
‘ations are being rapidly made for
the opening of the season. Work of‘
placing the grounds in shape will be~,‘
gin immediately. Active practice willl
begin during the latter part of this
or the first of the coming week.
Manager Henderson is in the city
today, shaping things for the open-%
ing of the season. The chief object
of his visit is to confer with the di-l
rectors of the club over players that
are under consideration. ‘
Clements, a youngster who has done
some star work for the Mercer team,
is being communicated with. He is
a heady fellow, and one of the best

W. P. Hall of the Hall Plumbing
company has closed a deal with W.
B. Williford for the purchase of the
electrical supplies and fixtures of the
Independent Electrical company. Mr.
Hall has consolidated this line with
his plumbing business at the location
ceccupied by him for the past several
months in the Harmon building on
Seventh street. The electrical line
is complete, and Mr. Hall is preparing
for installing any kind of electrical
fixtures and making repairs in this
line.

Prospects are that Cordele will be
able to secure Riley from the Nash
ville club. He is a youngster about
19 years old, a good hitter and fast
cutfielder. Riley was cut out for a
big leaguer but is just lacking in the
polish that a few more years will be
required to give him to land him in
| a top berth.
‘ The schedule shows that Cordele
will travel during the season 762
mileg, a shorter distance than any
other club in the league, an advantage
that comes from being located in the
| center of the league. Montezuma
llmveis 835 miles; Fitzgerald, 844 and
| Dawson 946.

adopted the name of the “Big Four

SPECIAL FEDERAL STAMP TAKEN
OFF JULY FIRST, ACCORDING
TO INFORMATION FROM CAPI
ITAL,
News coming from an authoritative
source in Washington is to the effect
that the special federal stamp tax on
all articles except beers and wines
will be suspended on July 1. This in
formation is going the rounds in the
larger centers and is being hailed
with no little delight.
The federal stamp requires the
special stamping of various drugs and
perfumery, a large number oi legal
documents, insurance papers, bills of
lading, telegrams, express money or
ders and receipts and papers of other
kinds.
Business people of this community
will welcome the change as the little
“war tax” stamp, as it has come to bhe
known, is in most cases termed a nui
sance. If the news is correct, July
first will be considered no bad day, if
it does happen to be hot and sultry.
NEAT PREMISES
SANITARY DEPARTMENT IS OUT
FOR PRETTY GENERAL APPEAR
ANCE AND IS MAKING ROOM
FOR MORE SUNSHINE.
Sanitary inspector Bill Bussey is en
tering a campaign already for clean
walks during the summer and is urg
ing all the residents to be watchful
of high grass about the walks and
street gutters. He is in this campaign
for a bit more sunshine where the
weeds are accustomed to grow. This
will mean fewer mosquitoes, a better
general appearance and more good
health for everybody. .
Those who have their own homes
and those who have places under their
charge alike are urged to exercise
the greatest care in keeping the prem
ises free from high grass and weeds.
Inspector Bussey is already on the
walks looking after their general ap
pearance and his summer effort is ex
pected to mean a great deal of good
if the good housekeepers and admir
ers of neat grounds and premises are
willing to cooperate. {
WAITE TRIAL OPENED
IN GOTHAM MONDAY
New York, May 23.—Four alienists
headed the throng of witnesses gath
ered in the criminal branch of the
supreme court today for the trial of
Dr. Arthur Warren Waite. The young
New York dentist, sportsman and
man about town is charged with mur
der, in poisoning his father-in-law,
John E. Pesck a wealthy monufactur
er of Grand Rapids, Mich. Since he
has confessed the deed the prosecu
tion believes that the defense will
rely upon a plea of insanity. To com
bat this testimony the state his en
gaged three medical experts and sum
moned 115 witnessed who knew the
defendant at different periods of his
career, many of them to testify that
his behavior in their presence has
shown no signs of mental abnormal

BRYAN DELIVERS ADDRESS
IN CORDELE MONDAY NIGHT
NOTED LECTURER AND SPEAKER
WILL BE HEARD BY PEOPLE
FROM WIDE COMMUNITY.
No occasion in many months in Cor
dele has attracted the widespread in
terest that attaches to the coming of
William Jennings Bryan to lecture un
der the auspices of the lort Early
chapter D. A. R., next Monday even
ing, May 29.
His subject will be the most pop
ular of his famous lectures, “The
Prince of Peace.” A large number of
persons from out of town have com
municated with those in charge of
the coming of the great lecturer and
have stated their intention of hearing
him on this occasion.
Young ladies of the city have been
selling tickets during the week. Tick
ets have also been on sale at Ryals
Drug company and from these sources
the receipts have been large, insur
ing an audience that will probably
crowd the school auditorium to its
seating capacity.
Regardless of his political views
and his attitude on the preparedness
question and notwithstanding those
who differ with him on these subjects,
it is universally admitted that Bryan
is the nafion’s greatest orator today.
He reached the heighth of eloquence

POTTLE'S OFFER
HARRIS SUPPORTERS NOT LOOK
ING FOR MILLEDGEVILLE MAN
IN CONTEST—HARRIS LAST OF
VETERANS.
Atlanta, May 23.—The announce
ment of Joseph K. Pottle, of Milledge
ville, for governor was quite a sur
prise to the friends of Governor Nat
I£. Harris on account of the fact that
Mr. Pottle and Governor Harris are
warin personal friends.
It is generally known that Mr. Pot
tle’s friendship for the governor was
the influence that kept him out of
the race for several weeks, and the
governor's friends are at a loss to
understand how Mr. Pottle saw his
way clear to oppose Governor Harris
in view of this fact.
Another element of surprise to the
governor's friends in the Pottle an
nouncement is the fact that Mr., Pot
tle is an avowed prohibitionist, and
his convictions on this subject are
believed also to have been a deterrant
influence in his consideration of the
gubernatorial race.
Still another surprise to the gov
erno’s friends is the fact that Mr. Pot-
tle is the son of a Confederate vet
teran and a member of the Sons of
United Confederate Veterans, while
Governor Harris is a veteran of the
Civil War and the last one, in all
probability who will ever sit in the
gcevernor’s chair.
In view of Mr. Pottle’s friendship
tor Governor Harris, in view of the
fact that he is a prohibitionist and
Governor Harris is the recognized can
didate for the prohibition forces in
the state, in view of Mr. Pottle’s mem
bership in the Sons of United Confed
erate Veterans, it was not considered
likely by the governor’s friends that
Mr. Pottle would put aside these in
order to yield to his gubernatorial as
pirations.
It is not likely that any further at
tempt will be made to circulate re
ports that Governor Harris will not
stay in the race for reelection. He
made his intentions very plain, in thig
regard, when his old comrades of the
Confederacy tried to elect him com
mander of the Department of Tennes
see, during the recent reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans in Bir
mingham. Governor Harris told the
veterans he was running for reelec
tion in Georgia, that he expected to
be reelected, and therefore his time
would Dbe occupied for another two
years which made it impossible for
him to take on the additional duties
of the position to which they sought
to elect him. * ’
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
OF LIQUOR A SUCCESS
London, May 23.—The astonishifig
cuccess of the central control board
in reducing the drink evil in England,
Scotland and Wales since the board’s
inauguration in June, 1915, is striking
ly shown in the second report-made
by its chairman, Lord D’Abernon. °
The report shows that the efforts of
the board have resulted in a redue
tion of the average weekly number of
convictions for drunkenness in Eng
land and Wales form 2,034 in 1914, to
an average of 940 for lasc March, the
lowest month for which figures are
available. In Scotland the average
has been reduced from 1,424 in 1914,
to 794 for March.
and strength of speech in “The Prince
of Peace,” and touches a questicn that
is of vital concern to the welfare of
the United States in this period of
world-wide warfare. To say that
Bryan is silver-tongued and gified is
only putting it mildly. He speaks flu
ently and the simplicity of his words
give added power to his lectures, while‘
his voice rings out clearly and dis
tinctly in the largest auditorium.
It is the first chance that most Cor
dele people have had to hear him.
Some people of this city, however,
have gone hundreds of miles to hear
