Newspaper Page TextWednesday Edition Ten Pages VOL. VIII. THEY CAST STONE; | ey : (i TR YDETAINED AS WEARER ‘OF SCAR LET OLA BELL PUT UP CASH BOND AND WENT ON HER WAY. A white woman, giving her name as Ola Bell, was taken in custody last Saturday night by Chief of Police W. L. Sheppard on the charge of idling and loitering on the streets of the city. The woman preferred not to face trial before Mayor Jones, as evidenced by the fact that she put up a cash bond of $25 with the police chief and lost no time in shaking Cordele dust off her feet. She caught the next train out of the city, and did not seem par ticularly concerned ahout which way it was going. From what Chief Sheppard says the han of the law will fall heavy on wom en of such repute in Cordele, regard less of color, from henceforth. “I realize,” said Chief Sheppard, “that the enforcement of the city laws against such characters has not been as rigid as it could have been. There have been some, no doubt, who have evaded the police. But if strenuous enforcement of every law that will reach them hereafter ' will prevent such offenses, there will be no repeti tion of the case in which this Bell woman is concerned. They can heed fair warning if they may, or else take the consequences in which the polire force or other officials have no inten tion of showing lienency.” ER. | mmmam ma— io T o Se BB R S e 5 Ry ';:;:A;:y;::;:;:-:-'::;:vv-‘_:_v:-:a._\'-:f_-'<:;:f-,‘;:;t.;:;:;:f::;';:is:;:;:‘:iz.~:_-:f::;:~':~.

MOSBY DIES AT WASHINGTON AFTER LONG ILL NESS—WAS 82 YEARS OLD. .... Washington, May 30.—C01. John S. Mosby, the most famous Confederate raider of the war between the states, died here today after a long illness. He was a native of Virginia. He was 82 years old. In spite of his advanced age, Colon el Mosby until a few weeks ago took many walks through a part of the downtown section of the city. Age had not bent his figure or dimmed the keenness of his eye. He seldom passed through a crowd without beind recog nized. : Colonel Mosby for many years was in the service of the Department of Justice. He quit several years ago. He became ill a few weeks ago, and was taken to Farfield hospital. The funeral will be held at Warton, Va. The time has not been announced. Colonel Mosby’s death was due en tirely to old age, the doctors said. He was conscious and interested in what was going on about him until an hour before his death. He will be buried in- Warrenton probably Thursday. Some of the survivors of his noted command will be pall-bearers. It was said of Colonel Mosby that he never took part in veterans’ reun ions because twenty-two years ago, when he attended one of his com mand at Alexandria, Va., he was so overcome he was unable to speak. Some sistérs, a son and a daughter survive him. Colonel Mosby dared death over fif ty years ago when at the head of a band of a few hundred Confederate raiders he rode up and down the Shen andoah Valley, capturing outposts, destroying supply trains, and cutting off means of communication. It has been estimated that he often neutral ized the force over 15,000 Federals in the Valley. A telegraph cable 6,000 miles long and costing $5,000,000 is to be laid un der the ocean from Aden to Hong Kong. THE CORDELE DISPATCH ’CORDELE PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS AND FRIENDS FROM ADJOINING COUNTIES HAD FINE SUNDAY PROGRAM. The all-day singing of old-time songs at the Primitive Baptist church last Sunday was one of the most enjoyable and largely attended occasions of the kind held recently in this section. This and surrounding counties were rep- l resented at the meet. Promptly at the hour designated the house was called to order by J. A. Riley, of this city, singing No. 84 in the Golden Gospel Bell song books. After leading several hymns, the house went into a business session for a few minutes for the purpose of elect ing officers for the day, js follows: J. A. Riley, chairman; C. W. South well, Sheppard Saunders and W. T. Roycroft, committee on arrangements. After the business session two songs were rendered while the committee was arranging for the morning pro- | gram. Leaders were W. C. South-i well, Golden Powell, C. O. Nobles, Frank Hogsett, S. L. Saunders Shep pard Saunders, J. J. Barry, W. T. Ry croft. The morning service was clas ad with Dr. T, J. McArthur leading in three songs and the scripture reading. Then prayer by Dr. A. L. McArthur; adjournment for dinner for two hours followed. Afternoon Program. The house was called to order promptly at 2 o’clock by the chair man, J. A. Riley and the singing of No. 43 in the Glorious Song. A report from the committee was then asked read for the afternoon: Leaders, John Arnett, D. P. Ward, J. T. McClamery, W. H. Culpepper, Warren Eason, J. A. Pitts, J. B. Smith, W. W. Story, J. J. Barry, W. T. Roy croft, C. A. Lanier. A call for a lesson in the old Sacred Harp was then madeby “Uncle Geo. Sheppard.” The lesson was open by Pless Harden and closed by J. A. Ri ley. The organists for the day were Miss Avery, Mrs. Culpepper, Mrs. Rooks, W. T. Roycroft, Mrs. Walls, Mrs. Pol lard. )CORDELE FANS WILL HAVE OP PORTUNITY SATURDAY TO SEE LIVELY SET-TO WITH OUTSIDE TOWN. Saturday will witness the first base ball game of the season in Cordele when the local club of the “Big 4” league goes against the Rochelle team for a game on Saturday after noon. The game will be called at 3:30 o’clock. Cordele has already gotten its club well togetlier, and it’s a good one. But this fact does not make it easy by any means to win over Ro chelle, for that town has a team that has “played rings” around everything in the amateur teams in this section. The enthusiasts there have engaged men who are long experienced in the game and capable of furnishing the local club competition to make the game thoroughly entertaining to the team here, as well as to the fans. The price of admission wiil be 25 and 50 cents. The game will certainly be well worth the price. MRS. W. H. MAYO, AGE 62, ANSWERS CALL OF DEATH Mrs. W. H. Mayo aged 62 years died Sunday night at eight o’clock at her home on Seventh street, following a prolonged illness. Funeral services were conducted from the residence Monday afternoon at 330 o’clock, Elder Theodore McAT thur officiating. Interment occurred at Sunnyside cemetery. ] The deceased is survived by a hus band and two daughters, Misses Ella and Nannie Mayo, all of whom live in this city. SANITARY INSPECTOR URGES PLACES IN THE ALLEYS FOR GARBAGE TO AVOID SUNDAY “SHOW” ON FRONT. Chief Sanitary Inspector Bussey is stiil fighting for a clean city during the remainder of the summer and is nearly through with the campaign for clearing the sidewalks of weeds. There are still portions where residents have neglected to do the work necessary for the neat appearance of the prem ises and the inspector will have to @ | Comparisons---Lighting and Power | ( Bainbridge owns its electric light and power plant, constructed in con nection with its water plant. The peo ple who use electricity get it for .4 cents per killowatt against Cordele’s 11 cents per killowatt. Bainbridge furnishes current for manufacturing purposes from 2 to 4 cents per killo watt, according to amount used. Cor dele in its small manufaciuring plants§ if current is used, is charged from 8c to 12¢ per killowatt. Bainbridge, from] its own electric light plant, lurnishes] tights for all its streéts, public build-l ings, schools and churches, free. ' ~ Cordele is now paying about s£i,ooo| annually for street lighting. If (“01‘(1e1e1 owned its electric light and power plant, thereby saving to tax payers the 35,000 annually which is now paid l’ori street lighting alone,thiswould amount | to more than enough to build its plant | every ten years, and would enable mei city to give lights in sections of the | city where the people are now in durk-’ ness. ! Now, if Cordele builds its light plant in connection with the water plant, one crew would operate both. Like wise one engineer, one fireman, and one superintendent would serve. Albany is making more than $20,000 and Kitzgerald more than $B,OOO annu ally from their light p:ants, and this large amount of money is kept in these cities to improve and build them, the money not bein'g sent away to the aorth. Albany and Fitzgerald light streets, whiteway, public buildings, parks and schools free of any cost to the tax payers. The city of Cordele purchases all ‘ts fuel from the farmers and land own ers here at home. Every check the city gives for fuel is cashed and the money is spent here in Cordele,among .he merchants, doctors, markets, schools and churches. The Cordele SHERIFF WARD PRESIDES OVER SUNDAY “CRAP”’ GAME FULL DOZEN OPERATORS OF DUS KY HUE GET BOARD AT COUN TY JAIL—ONE NEGRO ESCAPED BY DIVE INTO CREEK. A “skin” game was under way a 8 peacefully as such games usually go last Sunday morning. The 'scene was the vicinity of the A. B. & A. watertank on the creek about a ‘mile northwest of the city. ’ “Seben, come ’leben” and the mum ble of muffled voices were the only things heard above the chirping of ‘he birds and the rippling of the creek nearby. : Sheriff John Ward and Orie Bray, fireman and night sergeant of‘ ‘he police force came on the scene, and a silence fell over everything. It‘ was painful silence, at least for the gamers. ‘ The sheriff and deputy assistant| were in the midst of the gamers scarce iy before their presence was recogniz ad. The officers jollied the crowd un il apparently they began to think the visitors had come just for pastime to watch the game, “Let’s go to town,” was the sudden command of Sheriff Ward. This so {rustrated one of the negroes, for such ‘hey were, that he tumbled into the creek and, swimming to the opposite bank, made his escape. Two others took to their heels, but the officers rounded up a full dozen and landed them in the county jail. Their names are Wade Moates, Jack Mathews, Tom Gilbert, Luck Harris, Jim Jones, Oglethorpe Jackson Alex Munsey Bo za Hayes, Lint Morgan, Will Wells, John Gregory and Felder Henderson. Later the two negroes who tock to their heels, Major Gregory and Gus Mitchell, were taken in custody in the negro quarter and also landed in the county jail. The place where the negroes we3;° “skinning” was at a “wash hole” on the creek, and some white boys had complained that the negroes had pre vented them from going in swimming there. Sunday morning two white men reported the game to the sheriff and the raid followed. The sheriff captured “a pair” of “loaded dice,” with which he says there’s no possible chance to lose. He will keep them as a souvenir of the oc casion, and also as an implement of warfare in future dice games. hang on till the work is finished. Inspector Bussey is also trying to regulate the placing of garbage. In stead of hauling waste out in front of the place, he urges that residents put it in the alleys or to the side where the carts can reach it. The garbage and waste from the premises are not in sufficient taste for the front, so the inspector says. Many times it has to go over Sunday before he can reach it, and that is still worse. One man plans building 2,250 new houses on a Philadelphia subdivision. THE CORDELE DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1916. Electric company sends its checks to coal dealers away from Cordele and the money never finds its way back to jour city from whence it came. Privately owned electric light plant is a complete monopoly on the electric light business. ‘ Fitzgerald, Ga., May 23, 1916, “Hon. J.

B e Sympathetic interest possessed the large crowd at the First Methodist church Sunday evening last, when the pastor, Rev. Walter Anthony referred to his nephew, Anthony Hearn, speak er of the evening, as being “doubly his boy;” a convert under Mr. An thony’s ministry and to whom the young man first disclosed his call to the ministry. With much thankful- ness, Mr. Anthony spoke of the truly “boy preacher,” Anthony Hearn, who is only eighteen years of age, as rep resenting the fifth generation in the Anthony family as ministers of the gospel and who have been thus identi fied with the entire history of Meth cdism in Georgia. The youthful speaker in his short residence of less than one year in Cor deie, has, by his courteous, gentleman ly bearing, won for himself numerous friends, was listened attentively to in his discourse. Subject: “The Joy of Christian Service,” in the presentation and enlargement of which the religious experience of the speaker was force fully witnessed. WILI: BE HEILD-AT - THE COURT HOUSE THURSDAY, JUNE g, {:00 O’'CLOCK, P. M.—QUESTIONS TO BE HANDLED FROM EVERY VIEWPOINT. There will be a mass suceting of the citizens of Cordele held at the court house Thursday evening, June § at 8 o'clock for the purpose of dis cussing the important question: Shall the people of Cordele own their elec tric light and power plant,” to be op erated in connection with the city wa ter plant. The question of bonds or no bonds will be thoroughly argued by speakers, and it is hoped that ev ery citizen interested in the future welfare of the city will be present and take a part in the meeting. “Cordele npeeds the solid co-opera tion of every one of its citizens on this very important matter to deter mine the question,” said Mayor Jones today in announcing the call. This will be an opportunity for any citizen and tax payer, not only to find out for himself, but it will be a chance for those who wish to express themselves. It is expected that the WILL BE ENGAGED SEVERAL MONTHS ON ROADS WHICH HAVE BEEN KEPT UP BY MA CHINE—NEW STEEL PRISON. l Preparatory to working the public roads in the eastern part of the coun ty, plans are being made for the early removal of the county chaingang to a location in the vicinity of the home of W. 8. Stephens, in the Eleventh dis }fri('l. where camp will be made for 'several months. Road C‘ommissioners ’Gv. W. Sheppard and J. M. Connor and ‘Warden Cox went cut Monday morn ing by automobile to select the site for the new camp. A new steel con vict cage has just arrived and will be located at the new camp. It was (he! failure of the arrival of this cage in time that prevented the removal of the chaingang to its new location dur ing the early part of the week. How ever, the change will be made this week. In their trip to the Eleventli district Menday Cemmissioners Sheppard and Conner and Warden Cox went over a large portion of the reoads of the eas tern part of the county. Considering the fact tha! these reads have not heen much worked by the conviets during the past two years, they are in most substantial econdition, the commission ers state. There is not a highway in that section of the county over which rapid travel cannot be made by au tomobile or other vehicle. They have been machine werked from time to time, like most of the other roads of the country, and in this manner have been kept in splendid condition. WHD'S WHO ON PLAYERS ARRIVING AND TAKING UP PRACTICE—PROSPECTS FINE' FOR BIGGEST OF “BIG 4” TEAMS. Some of the I'z{stest, players in the ranks of Georgia college baseball are here today for the tryout on the Cor dele club of the “Big 4 league. Oth ers who have never been identified with college ball, but who are just as fast in the game, have also arrived, Actual practice of the club begins to morrow and two games will be played each day through Saturday. The sched ule opens Monday with Cordele at Fitzgerald for a series of three games. For positions on the twirling staft Cordele has a pick from several, any one of which would probably go g()()q in the “Big 4.” There's Puckett, who comes from Tech; Westbrook, Geor gia's best twirler this vear; Moore, athletic director of Gordon this year, who sometimes also stars in the out field; Futrell, of the Lanier Hi of Ma con, Hope who also comes from Ma con; Story, of Warwick; Sims, Gor don’s best this year, and still others. With the exception of Pucket and Westbrook, who will come about June 15, all of these twirlers have report ed. For an able catcher the club will not be disappointed in making a se lection. Nunnerly, who played with Georgia until this year, Joe Middle brooks, of Warwick, Bill Thornton, a lccal boy who is some artist behind the home rubber himself, or Morrison, one of the most widely known in col lege baseball. A berth on the third bag will prob ably lie between J. Sno'th, of Lawrence ville and R. Van Landingham, who is a brother of the catcher of the Charles ton club. Chappell, of Americus, is here for a trial on second, and Thomp son, recently from the G. M. C. team wiil make an effort to hold short. P’rospects are excellent for the or ganization of an outfield. G. M. Steed who has become identified with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, and who has been picked by Hieseman for the All-Southern, is almost certain to land here. Gillis, playing center for Georgia this year and elected cap tain for the coming year, is another good prospect, and so is “Red” Smith who was on Georgia’s outfield last vear. It now appears that it will be June 23 before Johnny Henderson can come to take charge of the club and this is expected to develop quite a handi cap. Pending his coming, Moore will be made temporary manager, and he will get togetler the best team possi ble until the arrival of Henderson and the several players he will bring with him. Repairs are being made on the fence surrounding the park and on the grandstand and bleachers, and the dia mond is being placed in first-class condition. larger number of voters will attend and take part in the meeting. INCREASED DEMANDS MAKE IT NECESSARY TO ADD TO PLANT —DRY HOUSE AND BINS ADDED. The 1. M. I’()\x:fl—& Sons Milling company are making exiensive im provements on their plant, located on the Powell farm about two miles nort,h]? of Cordele. A storage room, 40 by 80 i feet in dimensions, is under. way (.\fl construction, and this building \villll include a drying house and wheat | bins. ' An office room will be constructed adjoining the storage house (‘;msid-! erable machinery is being installed, which will so facilitate the plant that wheat will be handled from the mill to the storage house through elevators entirely by machinery. An immense corn shucker and sheiier will be add ed. Though this flour and corn milling‘ plant is one of the most modern u“d! best equipped in this section the exten | sive production orf wheat lhroughmxr} this section last year %kept it in oper ation day and night, and in view of the increased production of the (rmp’ thiz year the owners realized thar it would be incapable of meeting the re-| quirements and that added machinery ! and other improvements were neces- | sary. § 1 BRYAN' LECTURED T William Jennings Bryan held the at ’tention of an audience numbering ‘about one thousand in the delivery of his lecture, “The Prince of Peace,”’ at the school auditorium Monday night. The audience was made up of fully one-half out-of-town visitors, repre senting Fitzgerald, Ocilla, Douglas, Pineview, Oglethorpe, Unadilla, Amer cus, Montezuma, Arabi, Warwick and other surrounding towns. Most of these parties came by automobile. The auditorium was comfortably filled. The lecture was delivered under the aus }pices of I"ort Early chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Though he was.expected in the city about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, com ing by automobile from Sylvester, where he spoke in the afternoon, Mr. Bryan did not arrive until shortly af ter 8 o'clock, the hour set for him to speak. A reception comuiittee, com posed of the local bar, husbands of members of the D. A. R., newspaper men and other citizens welcomed the Great Commoner. Upon his arrival lie went immediate- | ly to the auditorium. The audience has practically gathered and was (!.\:-! pectantly awaiting his coming. ). \| R. Crum escorted him to the r:)slmm} and introduced him in an appropriate | speech. Seated upon the rostrum wern! members of the legal profession, the | school officials and members of lhu,f city board of education. Fort Barly | Chapter members were seated in ul hody at the front on the left side of the ’ auditorium. i Mr. Bryan spoke in his usual easy manner and strong voice, though ap pearing somewhat fatigued from the day’s travel and speaking, having filled engagements at Ashburn and Sylves ter during the morning and afternoon. His simple, though forceful, manner of speaking, his logic and apt illus trations thoroughly interested and en tertained the audience. The lecture touched almost exclusively on the sub ject of morality and religion. In the course of his remarks he expressed himself as advocating wom an suffrage. He said further that il} is high time that nations come to real ize that reason and right, rather than bloodshed and strife, should setile dif ferences. In referring to an eastern editor who differed with him in a statement regarding a moral question, Mr. Bryan took occasion to say that ' it has been so long since he had said! anything that had not met with op-‘ pesition on the part of some one that,] he had reached the point where he no longer felt embarassed at the dis approving opinions of others. Following the lecture Mr. Bryan was entertained at an elaborate lunch eon at the Crystal cafe and in the party with the prominent visitor were Mayor Jones, Col. Crum and O. T. Gower. Mr. Bryan did not have an cpportunity to get supper before his lecture. He left on the midnight train over the A. B. & A. for Senoia, Ga., to lecture and from there he went to Chicago to attend the Republican ‘nationul convention. ~ From the proceeds of the lecture }l'ne D. A. R. netted about sgo. Delivered By Carrier In City 5¢ Per Week 'WIGGINS PAYS i | | | TIGER PENALTY | T {JOSH FACED COURT AT TRIAL | AND GOT TERM OF S!X MONTHS I—SUMMER ON GANG. : Josh Wiggins, charged with vio- Ytirm of the state prohibition law, was ‘(:c-nvi(‘lo,d in superior court last week and sentenced by Judge W. F. George to serve six months on the county chaingang, without the privilege of paying a fine. Wiggins is an old of fender on the charge of violating the “prohi”law,and the court was determ ined that he should repay with actual and hard labor as punishment for this last offense. He is the negro who was captured ahout two weeks ago after Sheriff Ward and deputies had raided his hounse just beyond the city liits and secured ahout seventy-five half pints of liquor. Later he was giv en chase when he got off a Georgia Southern & Florida train at Wenona, and in his haste to escape left his suit case behind. It contained 120 half pints, which the negro had purchased at Jacksonville. Pensy Marlin, a negro woman of notorious character, on a charge of idling and loitering had a sentence of eight months or $75 meted out to her by Judge George in the court last week.
