MEXICANS PARTICIPATE IN
AN ANTI-AMERICAN RIOT
Chihuahua City, Mex., June 7.—An
anti-American riot, incited by a mass
meeting to protest against the pres
ence of American troops in Mexico,
was put down here today after a dem
onstration had been made against the
American consul and stones had been
hurled at the Foreign Club in the be
lief that it was an American institu
tion.
IF YOU CAN'T PLAY
BUNCH OF LEVEL HEADED BOOS
TERS CAN TWRNATHE TRICK—
CORDELE COMING BACK WITH
THE GOODS.
;It was & summer evening,
\ The baseball teams had fled;
The fan picked up the telephone
And called the sporting ed,
And spoke in accents sad and sore:
| “I know they lost, but what's the
score "
Cordele’s been losing and losing
bad; ’tis all true, but rather than grum
blé, let’s boost.. A genuine fan is a
genuine bogcster; never assuming the
ugly part of a knocker, but just boosts.
If you feel like you want to say some
thing about the club .or the players
that is not in the way of encourage
ment, .don’t do i(. .The baseball team
is ours. We eipect Fitzgerald, Mon
tezuma and Dawson to do all the
‘knocking against our team. If a play
er makes a ‘“bobble” today and looks
like he just can’t pick up a hot one or
makes a wild throw or such a matter,
‘don’t look at him with a scowl on your
face. Such conduct v the part of a
fan is not conducive to good playing
on the part of the team. Just tell him
that you know there are no perfect
ball players in the world; that some
fan or other can see something wrong
with every one of them. Tell him
you know that he hus the “stuff” and
that you are confident he will do bet
ter tomorrow. And very probahly he
will.
We must take in consideration that
the Cordele team is young in practice
and consequently not any too strong
on team work. There are some on
the team, doubtless, who will have to
be released, but it takes time to mus
ter them out. On-the other hand, Cor
dele has some as good players as there
are in the “Big 4” league and time will
develop this and give Cordele a teaw
that will meet any or the other teams
on equal ground and treat them to a
severe defeat every cvnce in a while.
Manager Henderson has yet to come
with the fast players which he has se
cured.
i Dawson appears to be about the
most difficult problem to solve, and
here's hoping that Cordele will be
capable of the task.
Steed has succeeded Moore as man
ager of the Cordele team effective Fri
day. A number of new players have
been brought into the line-up and
things are expected to go in good trim
from now on.

CHANGE NECESSARY ACCOUNT
OF CHARTER REQUIREMENT—
TO ASK FOR $50,000 AT ELECTION
AUGUST 3.
The developments of the past week
on the part of a bond issue far oper
ating an electric light and power plant
in connection with the water system
in Cordele has metted more friends
for the cause. An error at the start
has made it necessary to change the
procedure to conform with a require
ment of the city charter and now the
date for the election has been made
‘August 3rd instead of July 12th. The‘
amount for bonds uas been changed
from $60,000 to $50,000 to conform
with a requirement of the city charter
which limits bond issue to this sum.
Members of the city council at Wed
nesday night ’s session were divided
on the question and tied up. Three
and three, Aldermen Hunt, Sheppard
and McMillan reaching the conclusion
that it was time to stop further effort.
Mayor Jones, voting with Alderman
King, Wakefield and Lifsey, carried
the provision necessary for the call
for an election on August 3rd upon
an issue of $50,000 instead of the $60,-
000 as was provided in the call for the
election for July 12.
The matter will now go to ifie
voters of the city in conformance with
legal requirements and the friends of
the measure will work to carry the
eleé¢tion until the new date.

siastic.
I. T. Jeter favored bonds in an ad
dress which followed Mayor Jones. He
urged a {air offer to the owners of the
present plant before going ahead with
the ccnstruction of a second plant.
E. M. Espy presented briefly and
forcefully an account of the plant at
Thomasville and its earnings.
D. Hoimes followed with a strong
testimonial with reference to the eclec
tric plant in Fitzgeratd where munici
pal operation he said, seemed to be
highly profitable.
E. F. Strozier opposed bonds chiefly
for the reason that it would not pay
him as an individidal mvestment. He
did not care who owned the local elec
tric light and power plant and found
many things wrong with city affairs.
R. C. Harris reported an investiga
tion which he made with a view of put
ting electric power :n the Tomlin-
Harris macliine shops and stated that
it would have cost as mmuch to operate
a 25-horse moter as it would a 60-
horse steam plant.
Chairman Crum offered further re
marks in answer to Judge Strozier.
Much of the argument hinged on
statements that the water plant is a
paying investment and cenials of this
statement. Judge Strozier proffered
to eat his hat if he could not show
the water system could not be shown
to have operated at an expense great
er than the income. Chairman Crum
offered by, brief manipulation of Judge
‘Sirozier's figures a statement which
still showed the water plant on the
profit side of the ledger.
The attendance at the meeting
showed more interest in the question
than is generally believed prevalent
and it is now very evident that a close
study will he made by a large num
ber of the voters. i

NOBODY HOLDS ‘
l TIGER LICENSE
CRISP COUNTY DRUG STORES
. ARE ONLY HOLDERS OF REVE
\ NUE LICENSE AND THIS RE
QUIRED.
Under the requirewnents of the new
prohibition law, Sheriff Ward has
made an investigation as to those
holding revenue liquor license in\Crisp
county. * This investigation showed
the complete and rapid result of the
new “prohi” law, and reveals that no
such law is needed, o far as Crisp
county is concerned, to line the people
up in the prohibition ranks.
Sheriff Ward found that there was
not a holder of a revenue license in
the county other than four of Cordele’s
drug stores, and the law makes it ob
ligatory for such businesses to hold
revenue license for use in mvetin{;
the needs of their prescription depart
ments. Sheriff Ward went to Atlanta
and saw the records for himself in
Uncle Sam’s books.
ALEX SUFFERS FOR THE
SINS OF HIS PREDECESSORS
Alex (Chacknen the weli known res
twurant man had much as yet to suffer
for the sins of one of his predeces
<ols Alex purchased the entire stock
and fixtures of a restaurant formerly
doing business in Cordele under the
name of Eagle Cafe. 3
Its proprietor, Jim Brown, was too
good to live in Cordele and determin
ed to change quarters. After Jim left,
his place was offered for sale by the
sheriff and Alex innocently became
one of the bidders, when finally the
place was sold to him for $650 cash.
Months and years passed and Alex
enjoyed the property which he bought
from his competitor in fee simple,
when of a sudden there comes a ulti
matum from a Hotel Equipment Co.
claiming that Alex’s predecessor owed
this firm the approximate sum of half
a thousand bucks. Alex laughed his
famous laugh that everybody knows.
But immediately afterwards he be
came serious, for this hotel concern
did not participate in Alex’s laugh.
Instead, the sheriff is asked to take
stock of the place of business in which
Alex works. Alex says that he suffers
for the sins of his predecessors.

Municipal vs Private Ownership ]
Since the campaign on the part of the people of Cordele for the ownersf\ip
of its electric light and power plant in connection with the water plant startcd‘
The Dispatch has in each issue of the paper presented to the people a conyxpyévr,l-‘
son sheet, demonstrating the great benefits to be obtained by municipal"owx;er
ship of electric light and power plant. 4 -
Any one can see that those cities in Georgia owning their own light plahts.
are receiving benefits therefrom. The people of these cities are satisfied “and
would not make a change from municipal to private ownerghip. o
The following letter has been received by Mayor Jones from Hon. C. 0
Bunn, Jr., Mayor of Cedartown, Ga.
Cedartown, Ga., June 3, 1916.
“Hon. J. Gordon Jones, Mayor, Cordele, Ga. :
“Dear Sir:—Your letter just received making inquiry with reference to
electric light plant. 4
“The city of Cedartown erected a light plant something like twenty-five
years ago. The machinery has been renewed and we now have practically a
.new plant in successful operation. The rate charged consumers is -7 cents
This rate applies to all consumers but in the case of manufacturers and Very
large users of current this rate is discounted up to 40 per cent. Thus you will
' see that a large user of current would get a rate of .042¢. The plant pays all
expenses, repairs, upkeep, etc., furnishes the city current for street lighting
and pays into the city treasury in cash from $4,000 to $6,000 per year.
) Perhaps I should state that the city water works is opepatg(l‘§2 conjuHC:-
tion with the electric light plant, the pumping station and U}'Q (.'l;l(;t‘l;i(.:r glafhl.l_i.nes
peing located in the same building, and the same boilers furnishing steam for
hoth. s., o A
“Yours very truly, :
s s S ek
“H. ¢. BUNN,.JR. 5
“Mayor Citly of Cedartown.”™
The City of Cedartown, smaller than Cordele, in deriving irom 4,000 to
$6,000 per year as a net income from its light plant for a period of twenty-five
years, has received from this source more than $lOO,OOO, which has been avail
able to improve the city, thereby giving to the people the great benefit of the
income by reason of the fact that the people own their plant. * %
Cordele receives not one dollar from {his source, but durirg the past twcn
ty-five years has paid out around $100,600 and teh money has not been invcsied,
neither has most of it remained, in the City of Cordele. Is this fair to the City
of Cordele?
The Cordele Electric company should opnose the people of ihe cily owning
their light plant, simply because this company has an irel Jound, complete
monopoly on the light business, and from a business staindpoint ought to resist
any competitor, though it may be the people. The Cordele Electric company is
nof| doing business in Cordele for its health or pleasure, but it is here for . _tl_\e
purpose of making every dollar possible on its investment, anillth‘é‘l’éfb?e‘}fﬁ'é
business proposition. The Cordele Electric company is metely a ‘Sibsidiary,
holding or operating for the gigantic electric combine known as Southern Util
ities lompany of New York.
Municipal ownership of the water and light plant is certainly a saving ‘to
the tax payers and consumers as well. The consumers should have their ligllts
at 4 or 5 cents per killowatt hour, and a minimum rate per month for water of
50 cents, with an allowance of 2 000 gallons at a charge of 10 cents for each ad
ditional throusand gallons used, and the plant would still be self-sustaining;
and the iarge amount of %5000 per year as is now heing paid out by the city for
siyreet lights would be saved, and this amount of money kept at home. 'l'h?s is
true with Fitzgerald, Moultrie, Bainbridge, Quitman and Cedartown as well as
other cities the size of Cordele throughout the states of Florida, .\laba}n&.
Georgia and the Carolinas. :
