DR. T. J. McARTHUR
CORDELE PHYSICIAN HONORED
BY ALUMNI OF ATLANTA MEDI
CAL COLLEGE—HOLDS OFFICE
A YEAR.
At a meeting of the Atlanta Medical
college alumni, the medical = depart
ment of Emory University, Dr. T. J.
McArthur, of this city was elected
president of this body which position
he will hold for the ensuing year. This
.is a distinet honor for Dr. McArthur,
who is a former president of the Med
ical Association of Georgia, which of
fice he held with credit to himself
and the association. 9
There was a discussion in the meet
ing of the alumni over the wisdom of
electing to the presidency some strong
man away from Atlanta, who would
be willing to give some time to it, and
at the same time lend dignity to it.
When Dr. McArthur was put in nom
ination it met with hearty approval
and his election followed in short or
der. Other officers of the alumni were
elected as follows:
First vice president, Dr. Joseph J.
P. Bowden, Adairsville, second vice
president Dr. J. O. Elrod, Forsyth;
third vice president, Dr. Barron Johns,
Atlanta and secretary, Dr. Walter 13,
Emery, Atlanta. 5
WITHIN A WEEK TEAM WILL BE
MAKING FINE SHOWING—NEW
* PLAYERS COMING.
‘With the arrival in a few days of
a number of college stars to augment
the present excellent line-up that act
ing Manager Moore has gotten togeth
er for the local club of the “Big 4”
league Cordele will be in velvet, and
there will be no getting around the
fact that it will be one of the fastest
Amateur teams in the south. With
the players that are now on hand the
management of the Cordele team does
not entertain any fear of not holding
its own against any other team in the
league, and the addition of other men
will not leave a position that could
even be criticized as being weak.
In the game with Rochelle yester
day, Christa, a league player of some
note started the game behind the bat.
Webb, Martin, -and Chewing were lin
ed up for firing in the order named.
Steed, the Auburn star, held down
the first sack. He was captain of the
strong Auburn team this year and
made all- Southern. He is a rangy
man, a good hitter and has a good
head. He will be shifted to the out
field when Henderson comes.
Morris, on old Gordon and River
side man, was on second. He moves
about fast, has a good arm and if he
stands up under fire will make a good
man. Thompson of Riyerside, played
short. Ile has a good build is fast
and should make a good man if he
can stand the gaff. He is a brother
of Carl and. Homer Thompson of the
University of Georgia. He has the
appearance of a good man.. Van Lan
dingham a brother of Charleston’s
,catcher, did work around the third
sdck. Van knows the game, is willing
and would make the club a good third
sacker, no doubt. A badly swollen
hand has kept him from picking them
up as clean as could be done, but when
this gets well he will make a steady
playeg.. The putfield for the Rochelle
game was composed of Clifton of La
nier Hi school, Harbinson, a semi
professional and Moore of Barnesville.
Nunnally of the University of Geor
gia will be réady»to catch in the series
against Fitzgerald, and the line-up
will probably be changed all around
for the opening game of the schedule,
adding new .men and shifting postion
on others. Spurlin, of Tifton, has
been showing up in good form and will
be retained for a while to give him a
better chance to'show what he has.
Wilson, of Gordon, reported last
night and will work the opening game
against Fitzgerald. . This boy is one
of the best ‘twirlers, in the south. He
has a record for this season that is
little short of wonderfu! His games
have run in.the. no hit, one, two and
four hit columns. He is hitting above
three hundred in the last twenty-four
games against the best pitchers in the
state. He was awarded a very hand
some medal.by Vice President Holmes
of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath
letic Association, presented by Gordon
as the most -valuable player on the
squad. He will live up to the highest
expectations.
Sims, captain of Gordon, a southpaw
and one of the fastest men in college
ball will work the second game. He
is a good man in every department of
the game. Sims has made four all
prep teams. He hits right on around
here and will steal a pitcher’s uniform
if it is not tied down.

LOCAL RLAY,FERS

'HALF HOLIDAY THURSDAY FOR
~ FIRST GAME. ATTENDANCE
TROPHY EXPECTED BY COR
DELE TEAM.
Cordele fans are quite enthusiastic
for baseball, and appear more than
willing to cooperate to secure a win
ning team. They know that attendance,
active rooting and a word of encour
agement now and then means to the
player what the encore means to the
actor. It brings the best there is in
them.
Of course, Cordele expects to win
the attendance trophy for the largest
crowd of fans present at the opening
game. There’s every reason why she
should, being the largest city in the
league, and a territory to draw from
better than any other city in the
league. But a word in the way of a
reminder would not be amiss. The
ltarger the crowd, the merrier and the
stouter scrap the home team will put
up. The more the rooting the more
certain the home club will be to win.
In order to help things along so far
as possible, Mayor Jones has declared
next Thursday afternoon, the date of
the opening game in Cordele, a‘half~
holiday, and everybody is expected to
lay aside business and go to the ball
game. Repairs have been made on
the grand stand and bleachers which
makes them thoroughly comfortable.
Remember that Manager Moore and
his squad want you to lend them your
presence for next Thursday afternoon.
FEAST OF WEEKS TO
BE OBSERVED JUNE 7TH
The Jewish Pentecost or Feast of
Weeks (Shebuoth) will be celebrated
on the 7th of June by the Hebrew pop
ulation of Cordele. lits name is derived
from the fact that it is celebrated sev
en weeks after the second day of Pass
over All the Biblical injunctions as
to the manner in which the Feast was
to be observed indicate that it was
originally agricultural in character. .It
was in reality a season of thanksgiv
ing for the harvests tnat had been
reaped beginning with the bharley hor
vest during the Passover to the wheat
harvest at the beginning of the sum
mer The ceremonial offerings pre
scribed were in keeping with the God
giving gifts of the soil that had been
gathered . £
1t is only within the last century
that American flags have been made
of home materials. Prior to 1866 all
American flags were made of English
bunting.
Proclamation by the Mayor.

! JAMES J. HILL
James J. Hill, who d¢ied at his St.
Paul home the other day, controlled
all the great trunk lines of a terri
tory much larger than of any nation,
except Russia, now in the European
war. He had worked for forty years
to build it up.
l Municipal vs Private Ownership
pal vs Private O hip
eitol Tt R i o e
| There are several gooa reasons why the people oi Cordele ought to own
| their own electric light and power plant in connection with the water plant of
the city. On July 12, each qualified voter in the city will have the opportunity
to register his vote for or against the people owning their. light and power
plant. If the election for bonds to enable the city to construct its own electric
light and power !)lant results unfavorably, and the bonds fail to carry, then the
city will pay tribute to the Southern Utilities Co., with offices in the city of
New York for another term of years. Should the election result favorabe
and bonds carry, then in a short while the people of Cordele will point with
pride to the light and water station as their property and under their manage
ment, receiving the income therefrom, to lessen taxes, improve the city, sup
port the schools furnish free lights to streets public buildings, park, schools
and other motive power for the industrial department of the public schools.
The large sum of $5,000.00 which is now being paid by the city for street
lights will be saved, a white way will be put in and lighted fn;e of cost. The
people of the city can say that every dollar coming in through the light and
water plant is kept in Cordele and put in circulation, among the merchants and
business men. We will know that the money is not being sent away from the
city never to return. .
As it stands x{ow a private owned light plant has a complgte monopoly on
the light business in the city, no competition, no competitive rates, the field
is left to the private owxied corporation with headquarters in the city of
New York.
Cordele by owning its light and power plant will light the streets, public
buildings, city park, schools nd library free of charge as well as lighting a
complete white way without one penny of cost, and in addition save the sum
of $5000.000 per year which we are now paying for street lights alone, without
any white way or with not enough lights to light the city.
And if we do as well as Fitzgerald, Albany and other cities similar in size
to Cordele that own tleir plants, we will have besides a fund of $B,OOO to $lO,-
000 with which to reduce public expenses that the tax-payers are now going in
to their pockets to meet..
Hon. A. Prescott Folwell, Editor in Chief of the Municipal Journal of New
York City, replying to a letter of Mayor Jones, makes the following statement
in regard to municipal against private ownership of electric light and power
plants:
“The matter has been discussed in Municipal Journal both edito
rially and by correspondents occasionally during the past eight or ten
years. I think I can sum up the conclusions of practically all who have
studied the matter and who have no natural bias due to either undue
enthusiasm or commercial interestin saying that there are a number
of advantages in municipal ownership of electric light plants. Some of
the more apparent are the ability to 'change the location of lights, add
to their number or diminish the number at any time without restric
tions by franchise—contract conditions Perhaps more important is
the fact that advantage can be taken of improvements in ma
chinery, and especially those in lamps, which are being made continu
ally and most of which permit of increased illumination at the same
cost or decrease in cost for the same illumination.
“Where a contract is made with a company for say five years, this
must, of course; be based upon present costs of furnishing illumination
and the company therefore reaps the benefit of economies made pos
sible by future deviopments; although there are, it is true, a few con
tracts which endeavor to provide for the enjoyment of a part at least
of this economy by the city itself.”
What They Do In Fitzgerald.
The city of Cordele is now paying about $5,000.00 annually for street
lights. We have only 25 arc lights in the city. The city of Fitzgerald, Ga.,
has 90 acr lights, 83 white way posts with 5 sixty-watt lights on each post,
every public building lighted, lights in city park, motor power furnished to the
industrial department of its public schools, all free of charge. Fitzgerald owns
its electric light and power plant.
Mr. Voter, do you see any difference in having the light and power plant
owned by the people and one owned by a private corporation? Fitzgerald
made $8,500 net on its light plant last year, the money remained in Fitzgerald,
and Fitzgerald people got the benefit of the large sum of money. Fitzgerald
has more than three times as many arc lights on its streets as Cordele has.
Fitzgerald has a beautiful white way over the entire business section of
the city. Cordele has none at all. Fitzgerald lights all of its public buildings
and furnishes motor power to aid in the great work of education of its boys and
girls without one penny of cost to the people. Cordele does mnothing of the
kind, but sends $5,000 annually away from the city to be invested in some for
eign field.
Fitzgerald does all of this simply because her people own their light and
power plant. Do you catch the idea? Can you see where Cordele stands com
pared with her sister city, Fitzgerald? Now be up and doing; go to the polls
early on the morning of July 12th, and cast your vote for bonds, that Cordele
people may do what the Fitzgerald people have already done.

LOCAL CAPITAL GOING INTO CLUB
GROUNDS AND BATHING POOL
THAT WILL BE FINE PLACE.
B. F. Sheppard has practically com
nleted plans for the construction of a
natatorium and a picnic and play
ground just north of the city limits
near the bridge abutment where the
National Highway crosses Gum creek.
he has under advisement details which
will mean when carried to completion,
one of the best places for recreation
in this section of the state. He will
spend $5,000 to $B,OOO in completing
the work.
The community is all the time grow
ing and the demands for such a place
are growing larger every summer. The
place selected here assures running
spring water all the year and to make
bathing all the better a concrete pool
will be constructed of sufficient 'size
for all the advantages ot the sport.
The announcement of these plans
will be received over the community
wits a great deal of pleasure. The
place will be made modern as a rec
reation and club ground and will at
the same time be close enough to be
reached with ease. 1t is an ideal spot
for such a ground as is proposed.

tance of the red brick school in which
she received his eariy education, Jos
eph E. Pottle, of Milledgeville, today
began his campaign for the governor
ship of Georgia, in a maiden speech
delivered to the people of Warren, Mor
zan, Washington, McDuffie, Greene
and Baldwin counties.
Standing in front of the old chair
which his father occupied in presiding
’ovo,r the sessions of Warren superior
;«-r)urt in years gone by, in the old court
{ house which is now replaced by a
handsome structure, Mr. Pottle gave,
in elaborate form, the planks of the
platform upon which he stands for
election.
He favors the retention of the Wes
tern & Atlantic railroad, holding that
is possesses sentimental and material
'vulne which would make disposal of
lit a crime; he favors the enforcement
of the prohibition law and denies he
accepted a campaign fund from any
interests whatsoever; he favors the
improvement of publie roads, to the
financial good of the people of Ceor
gia; he urges the enforcement of the
rusury laws and the enactment of sup
plemental ‘laws where the - present
’ones are not strict enough; he stands
for the punishment of crime by due
‘pmcess of law, which, he says, “is
the most vital thing facing the Geor

ment of the common school and uni
versity systems of the state. !
Mr. Pottle was given an ovation such
as a candidate for office never before
received in Warren county. For three
golid minutes, timed by the watch,
when he appeared in the court house
auditorium, he was cheered, and when
he had concluded there was such a
rush to him that he was kept busy
shaking hands for a half an hour.
