MANY GOOD CROPS OTHER THAN
COTTON BEING GROWN AND MR.
WEEVIL MAY .FIND IT LONE
SOME.
That good crops of wheat were pro
duced this year and splendid yields
have been realized vy the farmers of
Crisp is the report coming from all
sections of the county. There are evi
dences also of more extensive diversi
fication of crops, the growing of more
grain crops, more hogs, and more cat
tlessssßeports~ghowe that the farmers |
are hedging against tie approach of
the boll weevil and have more general
ly adopted the “live 'at home” plan.
W. E. Maddox, who lives eight miles
east of Cordele in the Listonia settle
ment, states that farming conditions in
that section are splencid. Wheat and
other grain crops this year, he says,
are unusually larger. A larger acreage
has been planted in grain crops than
ever before and the y:elds have been
good, The section around Listonia is
one of the cxflglunities that ‘has not
suffered materiafly from the lack of
rain.
Rufus James, of the Raines settle
ment, was here Tuesday and
states that farming conditions in that
section were never vetter. His report
further bears out the statement that
more wheat is being grown in the coun
ty than ever before, and that the farm
ers are practicing diversification and
the raising of hogs and cattle as they
have not done at least for .the past
twenty five years. *
“We've found the charms of farm
life all that they were ever pictured
to be and the Georgia melon as lus
cious as it was ever described, during
the past week,” said Mr. James. “Mel
ons have been plentiful, but we’'ve
about recovered from the innovation
of this crop.and are now making pre
parations to set out acre after acre in
‘tater’ plants.”

FOUR HURT IN AUTO UPSET.
Bainbridge, June 19.—What came
very near being a tragedy involving
3, lialf-dozen lives occurred four miles
from here last midnight, when a Ford
wtomobile turned turtle with its oc
cupants. They were returning from a
sarty in the lowest part of the county
when, upon rounding a curve, they
plunged into"™® bank of sand and
gravel by the side of the road.
Aid was summoned from Bainbridge
and it was found that Miss Leslie Nor
man, of Moultrie, had received serious
injuries to her spine. She is now in a
local hospital. Miss Clyde Phillips, of
Pelham, and Miss Evelyn Smith, of
Branchvilie, were painfully bruised.
Roy Rackley and Tump Cochran, of
Pelham, escaped unhurt, while J .E.
Harrell, of Bainbridge, who was driv
‘ngsthe car, received a broken arm.
It was some time before help reached
hem and those of the more seriously
injured suffered greatly in the mean
time. Harrell states that he was driv
ing with care.

1t is p‘iicted that the 'live stock
conference and hog and cattle show to

The only event of its kind to any
thing approach the meeting to be in

in February of this year. The benefits
derived from this meeting were so far
reaching that it was decided to hold
another nearer the center of the cattle
and hog-raising belt, and Moultrie be
ing the place and also the possessor
of a large packing plant, she was se
lected as the place for the meeting. .
The conference will be held under
the auspices of the Southern Settle
pnt and Development organization
and the Moultrie chamber of com
merce, co-operating with the Georgia
Dairy and Live Stock association,

which has been called for border du
ty, consists of approximately 3,000
men of whom, according to Adjutant
Gen. J. Van Holt Nash, from 60 to 75
per cent could be ready to go to the
border within a “reasonable time.”
General Nash declined io be more spe
cific but intimated a week or more
would be required for mobilization at
‘Macon. The full war strength of the
Georgia National Guard, Gen. Nash
said, would be approximately 7,000
men. He expected many enlistments
now that the guardsmen have been
called out.
The Georgia National Guard is com
posed of the following units:
Three regiments and one unassigned
battalion of infantry; one squadron
and one troop of cavalry, one battal
ion of field artillery, consisting of 3
batteries; one battalion of coast ar
tillery and one field hospital.

VICE. f
Uncle Sam ismobolizing on the Mex
ican border, @ady at a moment’s
warning to deend the lives and prop
erty of Amercan citizens against the
raids of Bexicans, or, if need be; to
advance acrpss the border to find those
who would ifilore and abuse the rights
of Americay citizens. .’
In the cull of President Wilson for
the mobilization of the national guard
there is but few towns of ronseqguence
in the United States that is not rep
resented by one or morg g:tizens,
young men in most instances;_‘oing to
respond to the call to the colors. Cor
dele is sending about half a dozen
young men who- belong to the nation
al guard, and there are others who are
volunteering their service to Uncle
Sam’s cause and enlisting.
The national guard is required to
take the oath for service outside the
respective states, which is the pre
liminary step for mustering men for
use.in Mexico, and a number of those
young .men going from Cordele willl
take this oath. Itis left to the dis:!
cretion of the troops as to the ques
tion of whether or not they take this
oath.
Branch Fleming, son of Judge and
‘Mrs. W. P. Fleming, who enlisted in
‘the national guard in Company F.,,
First Regiment, of Quitman, reported
for duty Monday night. Archibald
Thornton, who enlisted in the Albany
company of the national guard, was
ordered to report there Monday, and
his company left for the mobilization
camp at Macon Tuesday morning. Max
Grablowsky belongs to the Waynes
boro company of the national guard.
PLANS BEING MADE TO INSTALL
ON DOME OF COURTHOUSE—
WORKING FOR BRASS BAND F9R
PARADE. i
Patriotic sentiment has never befire
sc strongly attached itself to a Fourth
of July celebration in Cordele as vill
be the case with the approachng
Fourth. Civic pride and enterpiise
has not been more splendidly exim
plified than it will be in the mag]ifi-}
cent - preparedness parade under the
auspices of the Fort Early chagted,
Daughters of the American Revolwion
and the dedication of the handspme
‘electric flag which will be displ?yefi}
irom the dome of the court houfe, a
gift from this organization. { ;
The flag has arrived and prfgara-:
tions will be made at once on thecourt
house dome for its erection. It is of
such dimensions that from its elgvated
position on the court house it ¢an be
seen for miles around. The mos strik
ing feature of this electric flag is that
it is equipped with the red, whte and
blue lights, and “Qld Glory’ will
evince patriotism and love of country
in true colors.
The business men of Cordele will
make an effort to secure a band for
the celebration and a liberal response
is being experienced. All other d‘
tails for the event have been arranged.
Hundreds of visitors are expected in
the city on this occasion. The speech
of dedication will be delivered by
Judge W. F. George.
City officials, business men and cit
izens generally will participate in this
occasion with an interest that will
well manifest a true spirit of patrio
tism, their interest in preparedness
and national defense and civic pride,
and make it an expression of apprecia
tion for the enterprise and spirit of
of the local chapter, D. A. R.
Business houses of the city will be
decorated in the national colors for
the occasion. Both the store fronts
and the interiors of the stores will
be decorated with flags and bunting.
All in all, it is to be one of the most
brilliant days that Cordele will expe
rience in 1916.

CORN AND COTTON
CONTINUE TO GROW
Atlanta, June 21.—Normal sunshine,
abundant moisture, and moderate tem
peraturcs gave almost ideal weather
conditions for growing crops during
}the past week, but rain is still needed
in immediate coast districts, and in
a few sections showers were frequent
enough to interfere somewhat with
work and crops are getting a little
grassy. The nights were quite cool in
the northern part of the state. Corn
and cotton continue to grow rapidly
and corn is being laid by in the south
ern portion. Sweet potatoes are do
ing well and are beginning to run.
Hay is making good growth. Vegeta
bles in the market are abundant and
of good quality. Shipments of peaches
and melons continue slowly.

fifty speakers were on their feet at

The county authorities say that if

tion to go forward and eradicate the
cattle tick from Colquit®™ county.

HENDERSON IS
\
CORDELE MANAGER IS TO SHOW
UP FRIDAY—CTHER GOOD PLAY
ERS COMING—BETTER PROS
PECTS.
Henderson comes in two days. He
will join the club in Cordele Friday
and will bring a number of new ac
quisitions with him. The game from
the viewpoint of the fans and from
the standpoint of the players is ex
pected to assume some new aspects
as a result of his coming. The fans
have been looking to his coming as a
turning point in the playing of the
team, and he will probably meet all
expectations.
With a number of Henderson’s Geor
gia men playing with him, sufficient
to keep thoroughly alive the ginger
and co-operative, effort characteristic
of college ball, there is no reason why
‘team work of the club should not
reach a satisfying point within a few
days. There's no getting around the
fact that Henderson's coming and with
the improvement of the twirling staff
where needed, Cordele will have as
fast a team as there is in the “Big 4.”

FEDERAL PRISON EXPERT
IN MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Atlanta, June 20.—Atlanta’s high
brow musicians are in danger of be
ing overshadowed by the band and or
chestra at the United States peniten
tiary, which has become one of the
most popular musical organizations in
the city.
“The concert in the prison auditorium
every Sunday afternoon is given to a
packed house, and seats are in great
er demand than those of any other
musical performance in the city with
the exception of grand opera.
The fact that the prisoner players en
joy such an enviable popularity is no
reflection whatever on the other mu
sicians in Atlanta, for the prison play
ers are artists of the very first rank.
One of them is a light-haired, sandy
mustached young fellow who looks as
harmless as any individual to be found
in a day’s journey; but it was this
young man who held up single-handed
the officers and crew of a British
steamer on the way to New York.
His name is Ernest Schiller, and he
is the young German who was arrest
ed in New York and sentenced to a
term in the federal prison by the Uni
ted States court in that city.
GEORGIA PRODUCES LARGE
OUTPUT OF FIBRE ASBESTOS

far more ashestos than any other
state, according to a government re
port that has just been received in At
lanta. The asbestos is of the imphi
bole variety and of tiie mass-fibre type,
in which 90 per cent of the rock quar
ries appear in the finished product;
it can therefore be produced at much
lower cost than other asbestos. It is
all ground and fiberized to practically
one grade suitable for the manufac
ture of cements, plasters, shingles, and
asbhestos lumber. There are two com
panies operating, one with a mine near
Cleveland, Ga., and mill at Gaines-
Ga., and the other in Atlanta, with its
mine and mill at Hollywood.
