SOUTH GEORGIA LOG ROLLING
' WAS MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS—
ALBANY GETS 1917 CONVENTION.
The South Georgia Log Rolling was
a great success. It made Cordele the
mecca for fully fifteen thousand visi
tors during the two days of its pro
gress, and a greater volume of fun and
amusement than was occasioned by the
features of the notable gathering
could scarcely have been disseminated
over the area of Qordele’s incorporated
limits. It was all and more than Cor
dele and the visitors had anticipated.
Only the superflous generosity of old;
pluvius tended to detract from pleas
men, notwithstanding the clouds hung
forting effect was oivy temporary. A
spirit of good cheer and rare happiness
warmed up under the effect of Cor
dele’s, characteristic hospitality and
vied with the fine feeling of fraternal
fellowship manifest among the Wood
men, notwitstanding the clouds hung
heavy about for a time.
Every feature was a credit to Cor
dele and the occasion. The grand pa
rade, scheduled as the opening event
of the gathering, was deferred on ac
count of the rain, but this did not de
tract from its brilliancy or shorten its
length.
The special trains over all of the
railways touching Cordele and coming
from all directions brought thousands
and all regular trains carried extra
coaches for the accommodation of the
crowds Cordele bound. Fully as many
more came by automovile and by oth
er conveyances from throughout Crisp
county and South Georgia.
In deferance of the postponement of
the parade the speaking and business
session of the Log Rolling opened im
mediately at the court house, where
standing room was at a premium. May
or Gordon Jones on behalf of the city
delivered a rousing address of welcome
and was cheered to the echo. Sov
ereign J. W. Simmons of Brunswick,
responded on behalf of the Woodmen
and other visitors.
Albany’s delegation came one thou
sand strong prepared to carry the con
vention.to that city in 1917. They car- |
ried things so overhwelmingly theiri
way that no other nomination for the
next meeting place was offered. Every
vote went to Albany, and its delegation 1
loudly cheered each vote. ‘
Newton Phillips, of Atlanta, wasl
again chosen president and general
manager of the association. .He had
no opposition and the vote went unan
imous for him. Other officers elected
were J. M. Domingoes of Macon, secre
tary and treaéurer; J. H. Mack, of Al
bany, first vice president; J. Gordon
Jones of Cordele, second vice presi
dent; J. C. Jenkins, of Valdosta, third
vice president; J. R. Raff, of Macon,
fourth vice president; M. B. Brown,
of Richland, fifth vice president; Mrs.
Minnie Van Murrah, or Columbus,
gixth vice president and state mana
ger of the Woodmen’s Circle.
During the business session a mes
sage of greetings and good wishes was
received from Hon. W. A. Fraser, Sov
ereign Commander of the Woodmen of
the World, of Omaha, Neb., and other
officials of the order and Log Rolling in
this and other states.
A resolution was passed taking the
Woodmen’s Circle department of Geor
gia as a permanent adjunt of the as
sociation in future meeting, and allow
ing them an equal voice in the pro
ceedings. .
The thousands were amply fed at
the barbecue dininer, which was served
at the building of the Cordele Com
press company on account of the rain,
and following the parade was formed
according to schedule. The parade
was led by the Woodmen, headed by
by the Ocilla W. O. W. band and fol
lowed by the Bainbridge W. O. W.
band, numerous splendid flbats of lo
cal concerns were included in the pa
rade. Sovereign M. N. Johnston acted
in the capacity of marshal of the day
with a distinct ability, and his efforts
in this way served much to make the
parade and other features successful.
The representative of the Pathe
Motion Picture company secured films
of all of the leading features of the
gathering. The entire parade, gather
ing at the court house, public buildings
and public officials came under the
camera and these will be shown in
Pathe’s weekly news film throughout
tae United States.
The program of the second day of
the gathering was little less interest
ing ‘and entertaining than the features
of the first day. The participations
by the Woodmen’s Circle were quite
prominent in the events of the second
day. The baseball games throughout
the occasion afforded amusement to
as many spectators as could be accom
modated.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
ur& DORSEY
TOUCHED PRINCIPALLY ON THE
ENFORCEMENT OF AND HIGHER
RESPECT FORLAW.
e
Notwithstanding a downpour of rain
atl the hour scheduled for his speech,
Hugh M. Dorsey, candidate for govern
or, addressed an audience at the court
house Friday afternoon that filled the
suditorium to its full seating capacity.
He was introduced oy Rev. Theodore
McArthur, who stated that he felt
called to support Dorsey in his candi
dacy for his stauneh advocacy of the
enforcement of the law and a higher
respect for the judiciary as a whole.
S’'gnificant of the address of former so
licitor general and prosecutor of the
Frank case, was his spirited condem
nation of mob violence.
The address of Mr. Dorsey was re
ccived enthusiastically, and the audi
ence applauded him vigorously through
out. Though having :ntended to go
immediately to Ellaville after his ad
dress here, he concluded to stay in Cor
dele for the afternoon and had an op
portunity of meeting hundreds of vot
‘ters from over the entire section in at
tendance upon the Log Rolling.
PALMER-JONES FLOAT
ATTRACTED WIDE ATTENTION
The Palmer-Jones fioat represented
in the parade of the South Georgia Log
Rolling Convention was one of splen
did taste and showed great originali
ty of design. It reflected a distinct
credit on the concern and those who
originated it and gave a very fine dis
playof the wares and implements
handled by them.
Merchants and business men who
saw it along with the great crowds
had many favorable comments to of
fer. They admired the hustle and en
terprising spirit shown. It was con
sidered fully up to state fair display
and will mean wide publicity for the
FPalmer-Jones company. :
REGISTRATION SPECIAL
ELECTION CLOSED SATURDAY
The registration. lists for participa
tion in the' special election on August
3, to determine the question of wheth
er or not the city shall own its elec
tric lighting power plant closed today
with 430 registered. The number reg
istered is considered a good average.
In the city registration of last year
there were 517 voters enlisted.
e e e
" The street dancing of Friday even
ing was decidedly one of the most en
joyable events. A throng of young
people participated in the dancing,
and the occasion apparently afforded
as much amusement to the spectators
as to those who took part. The “movie”
man secured two excellent flash-light
picture of the dance and Britt Craig,
a special correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution, was here to take notes.
He secured a photo of the dancing and
prepared a special write-up of the
event.

TEN PER CENT WILL COVER LOSS
TO COTTON—ROADS BEING PUT
IN GOOD CONDITION AGAIN.
] Y {
While the rains of the past few days‘
have brought about somewhat douht-}
ful conditions, the consensus of opin
ion among the farmers of Crisp is that
the crops have recovered from the ear-
Iy rainy season and the percentage of
damage was not as large as was at first
anticipated. Ten per cent will take
cere of the damage to the cotton crop
that has already been done by the ex
cessive rains, while practically no dam
age has occurred to the corn except
that done by strong winds, which have
almost invaribly accompanied the
rains.
Bridges on the county’s highways
have again been placed in good con
dition, and reports from all sections
of the ¢ounty during the latter part
of the past week is that the high wa
ters are receding rapidly. Passage by
bridge and ferry over Flint river and
other larger streams can now be af
fected at all points of occustomed trav
el in this section. The roads of the
county have been dragged and are
now in substantial condition after the
washing rains of the past three weeks.
CRISP COUNTY STOCK RAISERS
WERE TALKING OF SUCH A
MEET AT AN INFORMAL SHOW
IN TOWN SATURDAY.
M. J. McKay and others interested
in horse and mule raising had a rath
er attractive exhibit of stock in Cor
dele last Saturday. There were a num
ber of enthusiasts who suggested that
a live stock show be put on in Cerdele
sometime during tho early fall. This
suggestion will be taken up by the prin
cipal stock raisers of the county and
the matter will be discussed with a
view of having a creditable show here.
those who have talked about such a
show are iathier enthusiastic and
would be glad of an opportunity to
display the home raised horses, mules
cattle, hogs and other stock.
Of those here Saturday M. J. McKay
exhibited three mule colts and one cal
ico horse, The horse and the two mule
colts are the offspring of one calico
mare within a period of three years.
The young horse is an attractive, good
looking youngster.
Tom Ingram also had a creditable
looking mule and horse.
I. G. Williams brought with him two
fine mules and left at home two hors
es, all Georgia raised and way above
the average.
C. L. Williams had in line two splen
did mules.
M. J. Musselwhite drove to town a
fine young horse in harness.
J. F. McGarity showed a pretty pony.
The meeting Saturday was merely
an informaly affair. No special arrange
ment had been made for the show
;and those owning colts brought them
in for the puppose of showing them to
iall the stock raisers.

THE RUSH CAUSED BAKERS TO
SECURE HOME-MADE FLOUR
AND THE BREAD PROVED DEL!-
clous. :
The rich flavor of hreads made from
home-raised and homnie-ground wheat
came first hand to a number of Cor
dele and Crisp county citizens last
week who had never taken occasion
‘before to learn that it is the best bread
in the world.
The great demand for bread to feed
the thousands at the Log Rolling
Thursday and the increased demands
throughout the ecity and secticn tipon
the local bakeries, caused the supply
of flour at one of these enterprises to
be exhausted before the demand was
half supplied. A large quantity of
home-ground flour was secured, and
while it was found necessary to use
some different méthods in baking, it
made fine breads of all kinds, and no
difficulty was found for the sale of
it in the baked produc:s.
The production of wheat has grown
more profitable and has came more
and more into favor from year to year,
until Crisp now raises as large a crop
of wheat as any other county in the
state, the demand both locally’ and
abroad is far greaier than can be sup
plied. Hundreds are eating Dbiscuit
from home-raised flour this year who
used the products of distant states be

ASSOCIATION WANTS
ARE SEEKING MORE TIME—SHIP
PERS’' COUNCIL WILL LAY MAT
TER BEFOR COMMISSION.
Atlanta, July 21.—Approximately fif
ty members of the Georgia Shippers’
Association met here today to con
sider the coming hearing on the rail
roads’ petition for increased freight
rates before the Railroad Commission
on August 17. President W, C. Vereen
of Moultrie presided.
The shippers decided to appear be
fore the Railroad Commission by coun
sel next week and ask for some modi
ficati({m of the form of procedure that
the commission has outlined. They
will ask for time in the matter of an
swering the railroads on particular
rates, which has not been allowed un
der the procedure, and for other min
or changes. A delegation will also ask
the appropriate legislat*ve committees
for the enactment of the bill to appro
priate a fund to pay for the recording
of all the roceedings of the hearing.
Attorneys for the shippers stated the
railroads should file their evidence
and testimony and that then the ship
pers should be givep a period of three
months in which to prepare their an
sSwer.
(Commissioner of agriculture, J. D.
Price, appeared before the shippers
and stated among other things that
the proposed rate increases would
mean an added expense of $BOO,OOO to
the farmers of Georgia on fertilizers
alone.
BURWELL INTRODUCES BILL AU
THORIZING SALE OF W. & A—
SOLONS EXCHANGE WORDS.
Atlanta, July 21.—1 f the senate
backs up the house in its action to
day, women will be allowed to prac
tice law in Georgia after the present
legislative session, and in spite of the
veto put upon it by the members of
the Georgia bar in their re¢ent con
vention at Tybee.
After two days of debate the house
passed the bill by the large majority
of 131 to 26. During the debate the
gallery was crowded with women who
listened intently and were inclined at
times to applaud. It was all Speaker
Burwell could do to keep down this
gsort of demonstration. Beck of Mur
ray, for the bill, said he regretted
the matter had always been treated
rather with levity than seriousness.
Women, he declared, had made good
in every calling and there were many
of them who would make as good law
yers as men. Since they are compelled
at times to earn their own living ev
ery profession should be open to them.
Sidney MeCathern, a graduate of the
law school of Mercer Universitly, a res
ident of Waynesboro and a young men
of bright promise, has come to Cor
dele to become associated in the prac
tice of law with 'J. T.: Hill. . The
firm will have their offices in the
American National Bank building in
‘the offices which Mr. Hill has hereto
‘foro occupied. Mr. McCathern is a
fyoung man of jovial, fine disposition
;and is well versed in his profession.
Ule will be warmly welcomed to Cor
;rdelc and the members of the local
par will wish him all success.
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS TO OPER
ATE BROUGHT ABOUT JOLT TO
UNSUSPECTING FANS.
Local baseball received a severe
shaking-up Saturday morning and the
“Big 4" league got a jolt when it was
announced that the Cordele team had
been forced to disband on account of
insufficient funds to operate through
the remainder of the schedule, which
closes on August 5. The manage
ment of the club has anticipated the
impending outcome of disbandment
for some time, though have come to
the realization very reluctantly. The
obligations of the organization have
been growing steadily, and every ef
fort was made to Ledge against ex
pense and increase the income, but
without avail. To disband, pay up all
of the players in full to date and meet
all obligations by the closest margin,
or take the only alternative of con
‘inuing under conditions that were on
ly gloomy and calculated to heap up
more debt without augmenting the
strength.-of the team where it would
have a fighting chance, were the only
two things left to be done when the
situation was summed up in total by
the management Saturday

SHERIFF WARD, LOOKING FOR
STOLEN FORD, GETS POINTED
MESSAGE FROM BANK PRESI
DENT.
A telephone call from Arabi a few
Jays ago to Sheriff Ward was to the
effect that his official services were
needed in the vicinity of that town.
The message was from Walter Patter
son, marshal, and was occasioned by
the suspicious actions of two young
men who were riding about in a five
passenger Ford. One of the young
men who claimed to own the car had
proposed a deal with an Arabi citizen
whereby he was going to exchange the
five-passenger body of the automobile
for a cut-down affair and $5.00 on the
side. The deal had gone through when
the sheriff arrived on the scene.
Who were the young men and from
whence they come, and to whom did
the car belong? These questions and
more the sheriff put to the boys in
rapid succession. The young man who
was in possession of the machine
“came clean” with the officer. He sail
that the car belonged to his mother,
that his brother was president of a
bank in a nearby Georgia town, and
that he felt like he had a perfect right
to do with the car what he wanted to.
In the meantime the sheriff had
wired to Secretary of State Phil Cook
for the name of the person whose ma
chine carried the license tax of 5001.
He also phoned the president of the
bank in the town named by the young
man. The reply of Secretary Cook
proved the correctness of the state
ment of the young man, as to the
ownership of the car, and the phone
message from the bank president con
firmed the statemen: as to his being
the brother of the young man.
“What shall I do with the boy?”
asked the sheriff.
“Save all parts of the car and let
the boy go to h——," was the bank
president’s reply.
CAME TO LOG ROLLING
AND WERE MARRIED
Since Thursday Miss Fula Burke and
Mr. Robert Sangster, a popular young
couple of Vienna, have had a secret
all their own. There was only one
other who knew, and they pledged him
not to tell. He is a minister, and he
kept his pledge. Secrets are difficult
to keep, and the young couple did not
expect to keep it long. They had no
inclination to do so, and no one knew
until they told it themselves, which
they did today. y
Miss Burke and Mr. Sangster were
married Thursday evening at eight
o’clock, the ceremony being performed
by Rev. J. H. Coin, pastor of the First
Baptist church of this city at his home.
They came down under pretense of
witnessing the night features of the
Log Rolling, but, of course, this kind
of pleasure was not their primary ob
ject.

The Zion Hope community is getting
