BURGLARS TASTE
FOR FINE THINGS
RANSACKED JUDGE WHIPPLE'S
RESIDENCE AND FOUND NOTHING
THAT SUITED—FAMILY, 'WAS
AWAY, i ' ¥
In the absence from the city of
Judge U. V. Whipple and family their
home in East Cordele was'burglarized
Monday night. Tracks @bout the
house, inilicated that there was only
one burglar in the case. The tracks
were thiose of a man. Entrance was
affected 'by cutting away the screen
of a rear ‘window.
The appearance of the burglar’s
work showed that his motive was that
of _stealirig money and jewelry. How
ever, no articles of jewelry or money
had been left about the house by mem
bers of the family. All of the rooms
were entered and one of them thor
oughly ransacked. Articles of cloth
ing, several hats and a number of
pairs of shoes did not appear to have
been molested, and other articles tak
en from dresser drawers in the room
did not seem to satisfy‘the desires
of the burglar. Such articles were
scattered about the room.
Mrs. J. N. King, a neighbor, who had
been accustomed to watering the flow
ers and looking after other things
about the premises during the absence
of the Whipple family, discovered that
the home had been entered and imme
diately notified Chief of Police Shep
pard, who found upon investigation
that no articles of value had been
stolen, so far as he could discover.
Judge Whipple returned Tuesday after
noon from Blue Ridge, where he
and his family have been spending
several weeks, and ne did not miss
any articles of value from the home.

into a canvas held beneath the win
dows. . Mrs. Harris May lost her hold
on a sheet by which she was being
lowered and fell, badly injuring her
«elf. ‘The present -effects 'of -all ‘the
boarders were lost. :
S. C. TROOPERS
COME THIS WAY
SEABOARD WILL BRING SOUTH
CAROLINA STATE NATIONAL
GUARD THIS WAY TO BORDER.
Indications are that the Seaboard
railway will be the direct route of
the trosp trains carrying the South’
Carolina national .guard to the Mexi
can border, and that the trains will
be operated from Columbia by way
of Savannah, through Cordele to Mont
gomery, There they will be trans
ferred to the Louisville & Nashville
railway to New Orleans and thence
directly to the camps on the border.
An entire train of sleepers, twenty
six cars in number, passed through
Cordele over the Seaboard road Sun
day morning going to Savannah and
from there to Columbia. The train
was for the accommodation af the
South Carolina troops to transport
them to the border, and this train is
expected to pass through Cordele to
day or tomorrow, carrying thousands
of soldiers.
Other trains to be used in conveying
the Carolina troops have been moving
over the Seaboard during the past sev
eral days. R
FIGHT PLANNED ON
' RULES COMMITTEE
Atlanta, Aug. B.—lt was learned to
night that certain members of the
house arc planning a fight, to be
launched eitlier next week or early in
the final week of the session, on the
Rules Committee. This committe has
nearly arbitrary power in dealing with
bills. Many memlprs are incensed at
this session because measures they
consider of paramount importance
have not Leen given a chance before
the house. One of these bills is the
antitrading stamp measure, which
the big merchants of Georgia are anx
ious to have passed.

tarly ‘D. A. R., has secured eleven

county.
This is a rare @pportunity for our
boys and -girls,” said Mrs. Espy, “and
we trust it will be readily grasped.
“As we- understand it there are no
competitive examinations to stand.
The chapter has therprivilege of be
stowing these scholarships upon wor
thy boys and girls ready to go to
college who can furnish testimonials
as to character and ability, and who
are in need of :seme ' financial assis
tance. These scholarships cover tu
itioxi, not board, .and are open to stu
dents for the sessions of 1916-17.”
The ‘following scholarships are an
nounced:

THREE CHARGED WITH
DYNAMITING VATS
Thomasville, Aug. B.—C. T. Griffin,
S. H. Turner and Dennis Kendall,
three citizens of the Ellabelle district,
have ‘been ‘bound over -to -appear be
fore the Superior Court here in Octo
ber to answer to the charge of dyna
miting dipping vats. i
J.- C. ‘Griffin, - his son, C. T. Griffin,
and S. H. Turner were given commit
ment trials here, and the case against
J. C. Griffiin was dismissed, but his
son and Turner were ‘placed under a
bond of $250. Kendall waived a com
mitment and is under bond to ap
pear at court. These men are charg
ed with wrecking a vat near the farms
of W. R. Culpepper and W. A. Bustle
of the Fllabelle district, and the war
rant against them was sworn out by
J. G. Culpepper.
DRUM AND BUGLE
CORPS PROMISED
NUMBER OF ‘MUSICIANS EAGER
TO GET STARTED—J. W. FRAN
CIS ‘WiLL BE LEADER—PLANS
SOON TO TAKE SHAPE.
Plans looking to the organization of
a real live and up-to-the-minute drum
and bugle corps for Cordele are under
way, and prospects are very fine. An
active campaign will soon be launched
to carry the movement to successful
completion, and those who are inter
ested in seeking such an enterprise
for Cordele do not propose to fall
short of a splendid drum and bugle
corps, an organization that will help
the name of Cordele in every corner
of the state.
It is believed by those who are pro
moting the movement that the drum
and bugle corps would prove an in
novation which, in the way of an ad
vertisement for the city, would be
even more successful than a brass
band, and in which the citizens would
feel far more civic pride. Not a third
of the training would be required for
the drum and bugle corps as would
be necessary for a brass band and
for this reason those cities which
have such enterprises find that they
are much more easily maintained.
The names of a large number of
young men who will have places in
the organization have already been en
listed, and J. W. Francis, who will fill
the plaee with an ability and fitness
that could not possibly be ’found in
any one else in Cordele, hasipromised
that he will become the leader of the
corps. That in itself will mean much
toward the success in getting the
young men together as well as assur
ing the success of the enterprise after
it is launched.

DOOLY COUNTY FARMER SEVERE
LY CRITICISED COURT AND SO
LICITOR ABOUT PROSECUTION
OF BANK OFFICIALS.
Because he severely critiiczed the
action of the court in connection with
the disposition of the case of..the de
funct Farmers & Merchants bank of
Byromville, which came up for con
sideration at the May term of Dooly
superior court, W. C. Daniel, a well
known farmer of Dooly county, was
arraigned on a contempt charge hefore
Judge W. F. George Tuesday and a
sentence of $l5O or 30 days’ confine
ment in the county jail imposed upon
him. Daniel was arraigned in supe
rior court, which is now in session at
Vienna. He paid the fine, concluding
not to contest the case or Judge
George’s authority through the high
er courts.
Daniel’s criticism of the court’s ac
tion was in the form of a lengthy arti
cle, appearing in the Byromville Her
ald of last Saturday’s issue. Both
Judge George and Solicitor J. B. Wall
were referred to in bitterest excoria
tion, accompanied by burning sar
casm. The allegations of the Dooly
farmer were in effect that there had
been something more than the in
fluence of the bank heads, to prevent
a vigorous prosecution of those respon
sible for the bank failure. After the
case was set for consideration, “some
thing happened all of a sudden which
changed the whole thing,” charged
Daniel.
HOUSE GIVES $lOO,OOO
TO THE STATE NORMAL
Atlanta, Aug. 9.—The session of the
house today was consumed with one
appropriation bill, tnhat provided for
an appropriation of $50,000 for an au
ditorium and $560,000 for an additional
building for the State Normal school
at Athens, which came‘over from
the Friday session at unfinished bus
iness. The motion to table made Fri

passage, winning by a vote of 110 to
34. It was immediately transmitted to
the senate.
BAN IS ORDERED ON
WATERMELONS IN ARMY
El Pason, Texas, August B.—Gloom
spread over the army camps here to
night with the news that watermelons
have been banned by the authgrities,
It is not that melons of the south
west carry infection or that they are
unwholesome. The army fly expert is
behind the order which is applied to
all camps along the border. He has
discovered that watermelon rind is the
only kind of garbage that cannot be
properly burned or effectively buried.
Ag a result, to watermelon peel is at
tributed the present fly pest.

MR. BOLL WEEVIL
CRISP COUNTY DELEGATION GO
ING TO BAINBRIDGE—SEVER
AL WEEVIL INFESTED SEC
TIONS TO LEAR SOMETHING:
For the purpose of gathering infor
mation concerning the boll weevil and
gaining knowledge of how bost to
cope with the pest, business men and
farmers of several counties of the
state, principally in the middle and
southern portion of the state, are go
ing on an automobile tour into the boll
weevil area of southwest Georgia and
lower Alabama on August 16, 17 and
18. The object of the tour is that
good in common might come of it, for
the farmers of. those counties repre
sented in the tour.
Plans are being made for Crisp eoun
ty to be represented in the tour with
a large party. J. A. Johnson, county
agent, proposes to acecompany the par
ty.
The tour will spend the night of Au
gust 16th at Bainbridge, and will trav

The following day will be spent in
Southern Alabama, and the last day of
the tour will be spent at Cuthbert and
in that vicinity.
Parties who are interested are re

NEED FAIR WEATHER
FOR MAKING HAY CROP
Atlanta, Aug. 9.—Some improve
ment took place in general crop con
ditions in many sections duringthe
past week, especially when farmers
had an opportunity to cultivate _ci'ops
and kill grass and weeds, but the con
tinued cool, showery weather, with
insulfici'ent sunshine, has been deteri
mental. On a good many farms crops
are again clean® and well cultivated.
Cotton in some sections has rust, and
is shedding; the plants are large but
poorly fruited; bolls are opening gen
erally over the southern portion of the
state, where picking is becoming gen
eral. The damage by boll weevils has
been small. Corn looks well, but bot
tom-land corn will be almost a total
loss in many sections; fodder pulling
is progressing. Sweet potatoes, pea
nuts, late gardens, and truck rcops
progressed nicely; planting turnips
has begun. Pastures are fine, but the
grass is getting very rank and fair
weather is muech needed for haying.
KILLED BY FALL FROM

St. Louis, Aug. B.—George Kimball

the fifteenth story of an office building
here today and was instantly killed.
COTTON PICKING
‘ TIME IN CRISP
BIG FARM WAGONS LOADED WITH
LABORERS GO RUMBLING OVER
ROADS EARLY EVERY MORNING.
Wake up, niggers, it's risin’ time;
Grab your sack—l'se got mine;
To de field us gwine to go;
(‘fotton pickin' time ergin, you know.
Hear dem niggers, how dey sing;
Cotton pickers’' song—it sho do ring;
Sweetest music of de gin;
Dis am cotton pickin’ time ergin.
It is cotton picking time again and
the pickers are heeding the call of the
white fields. The rumble of heavy wag
ons on the streets is now heard at the
crack of day, and the rollicking, some
times boistrous, merriment of the pick
| ers is heard.
| They are going by the hundreds to
lgather in the fleecy staple, and the
servant problem, always strenuous in
the cotton season, is developing. Many
of the good housewives will feel a bit
'more the strenuous duties of the
|l:ousvho!(l, and some who are not us
]ua]ly accustomed to doing so may
have to do the cooking for a while.
|But this comes every year, and al
most all but the newlyweds are used
to it
On the other hand, the arrival of
cotton picking time is the forerunner
of brighter, more hopeful, prosperous
times, and its coming is to the busi
ness man, banker and those of all
Ewalks of life by no means unwelcome.

WOULD BLOCK
AL ELECTIONS
MEASURE SLIPPED THROUGH
STATE SENATE WHICH WOULD
PREVENT PEOPLE FROM DECID
ING BY ELECTIONS AS TO MU
NICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Atlanta, August B.—Private capital
operating public utilities in the state
of Georgia have come near the goal
of their ambition in a bill which has
passed the senate and is now up for
consideration in the house of repre
sentatives, and which is intended to
prevent municipalities from holding
elections to decide municipal owner
ship of their electric light, water and
gas plants.
The bill has slippea ny the most of
the cities of Georgia thus far, but yes
terday when it became known that the
plan was to take away from the peo
ple the right to decide these matters
for themselves, a storm of telezrams
and letters begia ypouring in on mem
bers of t?@ legislature.
Several delegatinns are here today
to fight the passage of the measure.
They represent a number of the best
cities of the state.
The proposed measure would make
it necessary first for a municipality to
get the consent of the railroad com
mission of Georgia hefore it could even
call for an election to decide the own
ership of the light, water or gas priv
ileges.
PRICES BOOMING.
Cotton is booming. New York re
ports say that closing prices for fu
tures yesterday were the highest for
any Saturday’s closing at this time of
the year since the Civil War. And
the end is apparently not yet. That
this should happen in a year of world
war is most wonderful. According to
Mr. Hughes, President Wilson is re
sponsible for everything that happens
in this country; so hurrah for Wilson!

RED LEMONADE
SHERIFF WARD HAD TO HELP
RUN DOWN THOSE WHO DIS
TURBED CHURCH WITH SOFT
DRINKS.
Sheriff John Ward is a pretty con
stant churchgoer and he had full in
tentions last Sunday of going to both
Sunday school and church but for
serving in his capacity as an officer of
the law,“rounding-up”those wha would
desecrate the day, he was prevented
from doing so. Seven prisoners were
added to the list of inmates of the
county jail Sunday, five for gaming
and two for disturbing public worship.
With his deputies the sheriff raided
a “skin” game Sunday moring and cap
tured most of the participants. These
prisoners had hardly crossed the
threshold of the sheriff's “boarding
house” before a colored deacon of the
Nile's Chapel Baptist church arrived
by buggy to inform the officer that
there were two ‘“niggers 'sturbin’ de
worship” at his church. When the ofii
cer inquired in what manner they
were disturbing worship, tie deacon
stated that it was a “big” day with his
congregation and friends and - that
there were hundreds in attendance up
on the meeting.
During the services the two negroes
referred to had undertaken to build
soft drink stands and sell ice cream,
red lemonade and soda water, and a
large number of the congregation
were thus attracted from the services
and kept up considerable rowdiness.
Sheriff Ward drove out to the church
and returned with the law breakers
within an hour after the matter had
been reported by the deacon.
'CROP OUTLOOK IS CUT
SHORT TWENTY PER CENT
G. S. Hamilton, who lives on route
5, was among the prominent farmers
attending to husiness‘_i‘n the city Sat
urday. Mr. Hamilton stated that he
was of the opinion that the crop of
cotton in his section and throughout
the county had been damaged from
twenty to twenty-five per cent. He
added, however, that the farmers of
the county had, until the recent rains,
the best prospects in years for the
production of a bumper crop.
