{/ TRAL LOCATION CAN 'BE HAD
| PLANT WILL BE SET UP. ,
‘T‘hg members of the city ' council
committee sent out to, investigate the
advisability of consructing’' a crema
‘tory in Cordele, have recommended to
.council that 'such purchase be made

mean an incinerator for the city.
The committee looking into the ques
tion was composed of Aldermen Lif
sey, McMillan and King. These mem
bers of council stated that if a site can
be had in a cemtrally located place, the
crematory: will be a great saving of
time and expense and will in addition
mean the burning of a large amount
of waste which now piles up out near
Seven Springs, a place which should
not be thus marred. i

HOW ALBANY RECEIVED OUR
‘ONE-HORSE’ HANDLE FACTORY
FACTORY NOW RUNNING AND OP
ERATORS HAVE BEEN GIVEN
STRONG SUPPORT ASIDE FROM
WARM WELCOME.
Under the head of “Encouraging En
terprise” the Industrial Index, the big
gest business newspaper in the south
east, published at Columbus, tells how
Albany received the big handle factory
that Cordele did not get, in spite of
the fact that the promoters came here
first and made efforts to locate. It wil:
be remembered that when attentio!
was called to this, one of the local
papers in the fight against bonds' for
the electric light and power plant term
ed them a few ‘“strangers” stopping
at one of the hotels.
The operators of this plant are now
onFlint river working on plans to
freight the timber out from this ter
ritory to their plant. Note how Alba
ny made “strangers” of them. The
Index article follows: -
The operation of the new plant of
the Albany Handle Co. was begun
last week in- Albany, Ga. Ordinarily
this would be an item of industrial
news of not more than passing in
terest. But progressive citizens of
Albany—who have made Albany one
of the best cities of the country re
gardless of size—used the occasion to
further demonstrate the Albany
spirit, which accomplishes things.
. First there was a luncheon—but let
the Albany Herald tell of it as follows:
* “Following the luncheon, covers
being laid for about thirty, short
speeches were made by Messrs. C. W.
Rawson, A. W. Allison, W. M. Legg,
James Tift Mann and others, who
expressed the spirit of welcome on
behalf of Albany to those who have
brought their new manufacturing en
terprise to the community. Graceful
response was made by Dr. Benway,
Mrs. Benway and Mr. Delk, who ex
pressed their appreciation of Albany’s
way of making newcomers welcome,
and of the community’s evident inter
est in the Albany Handle Company.
“Following the informal speech
making, most of those present took
part in an interesting ceremony of
watching a demonstration of the man
ufacture of ash spade handles.
“At a later date The Herald will
present to its readers a corilplete story
of the interesting process by which
a billet of Southwest Georgia ash en
ters this new plant, to emerge a few
minutes later as a finished spade han
dle, equal to the best produced in the
United States.”
Albany has long demonstrated its
full understanding of the fact that
the duty of a commurnity to a new
enterprise does not end when the
enterprise is secured.

Washingten, July 28 —Passage of
the Keating child laber bill in the sen
ate by an overwhelming majority is
indicated by a careful canvass of that
body. Ever since the Democratice cau
cus Tuesday night its success has been
assured. Most of the opposition to it
crumpled at the request of President
Wilsoi.
Senator Hardwick of Georgia is still
vigorously opposing the measure and
may fillibuster to prevent a vote. His
position has been fortified by tele
grams from Georgia stating that the
measure would work irreparable harm
to southern mill.s Among those wir
ing him were the Richmond Hosiery
Mills, Eagle and Phoenix Mills, Colum
bus, Ga., and the Southern Manufac
turing company, Athens. Senator
Hardwick holds that the bill is un
constitutional and invafles state’s
rights.
While he is not fighting the meas
ure, neither is Senator Hoke Smith
enthusiastic over it. He will not seek
to delay a vote, however.
Senator Hoke Smith and Representa
tive Gordon Lee were actively at
work today on the agricultural ap
propriation bill, as members of the
conference committee representing
the senate and house. The bill car
ries many items of Georgia interest,
including $600,000 for the boll wee
vil campaign, $lO,OOO to eliminate cat
tle ticks, and about $BOO,OOO for the
bureau of markets.

covered hanging to a tree.

OPPONENTS OF BILL DECLARE
THEY HAVE THE FIGHT WON—
AUTHORS STILL CONFIDENT.
Atlanta, July 28.—Those members of
General Judiciary Committee No. 1 of
the house of representatives who op
posed a favorable report on the Savan
nah recall bill, today submitted a min
ority report representing that the
measure as introduced by Mr. Myrick
should not be passed for reasons which
they set forth.
The first paragraph states that the
city charter of Savannah was amend
ed in 1915 and no effort was made at
that time to include a recall provision
in its charter. Thie second paragraph
declares that no ecort was made to
amend the charter as to the recall
until after the passage of the state
prohibition law. Paragraph three de
clares that all objections to the pres
ent Mayor of Savannah now alleg®\
applied before the 1915 session of the
legislature, since it was admitted by
the advocates of the recall measure
that the present mayor was officiating
as mayor pro tem. befort the legisla
ture met in June, 1915,

FOUR PRISONERS GO THROUGH
BRICK WALL AND LEAVE TWO
WHO REFUSE TO GET AWAY.
Friday night while the officer’s eye
was off the corridors, four negro pris
oners at the city barracks made, their
escape by digging a hoie through the
heavy brick wall with an ice' pick
which it was said had -been furnished
one of the prisoners by his wife. None
of the negroes have been. arrested as
yet, but Police Chiet Shappard is busy
in an effort to bring them in again.
Edgar Dorman, member of the. fire
department, was in charge at the ‘bar
racks at the time of the escape. @rrie
Bray, the regular night man, was off
on his vacation and the negroes; prob
ably did their best while they knew
there was a new man on the job.:
Will Henderson, the negro who took
the lead, is said to be the burglér who
entered a number of houses recently
about town, one of them being' the
home of G. A. Ballenger. /A Big, Ben
clock and a folding mirror recovered
by the officers are said to be the evi
dence against Hendaerson. His: wife,
while in the barracks to visit him, is
said to have slipped him the pick with
which he bored a way through fhe
brick wall to escape. i
The other negroes:. escaping were
held for minor offenses and were not
important escapes. Two held for Tail
ure to pay street taxes, remained in
the barracks and would not leave. The
negro woman is held a prisoner and
the two prisoners remaining are said
to be the witnesses who knew of the
work of the woman. :
JOE WILLIAMS PLACE LOOKS
LIKE REAL FARMER LIVES
THEREABOUT; FINE SOY BEANS
\»p’h R. Williams, one of the best
fari «yrs’in Crisp county, can show the
prettiest cotton in this section of the
state. He has a fine prospect for a
‘big crop and would have been Crisp’s
first cotton grower, but for the heavy
rains. ‘
- Farmer Williams has forty or fifty
acres of corn and soy beans that are
already an endless tangle of green veg
itation and the corn stalks are bending
under their loads.
Farmer Williams also has fourteen
sleek farm mules on his place that do
not show a skinned place, nor even a
place where the hair has been rubbed
away.
The negro on this farm who comes
out at the end of the year with the
most cotton gets a new suit of clothes.
None of the croppers are allowed to
sell the cotton seed. They may swap
for meal and hulls, but none is sold.
A fine farm is conducted under the
supervision of Farmer Williams.
