JACK THE RIPPER AT
WORK IN ATLANTA AGAIN
Atlanta, Qct. 3 .—Mysterious and
terrible “Jack the Ripper,” who cuts
the throats of negro women from ear
io ear and hides their bodies in the
“Death Valley,” has resumed his mur
derous opomfions among the colored
nopulation of Atilanta, and the ne
aroes are filled with wild alarm.
A few years ago the strange crimi
val killed a dozen negro women with
in a period of six months, and then
suddenly his murders ceased as ab
ruptly as they had begun. Now they
have siarted again. The bodies of
two negro women have been found in
“Death Valley.” which is a sort of
swamp near a raflroad belt line in
the princival negro settlement of the
city. Their throats were cut from
car to ear, and their bodies were hid
den like the rest.

ALL FAIR RECORDS
WILL BE SMASHED
Macon, Oct. 31.—More than two
thousand people are at the state fair
zrounds getting exhibits and showsl
in shape for the opening day, Thurs
day, November 2nd. ;
According to Julius. Otto, president
of the state fair, it has been necessa
ry during the past two days to turn
down more than $4,000 concessions
for the reason there is no room on
the fair grounds for anybody else.
Every available foot of space will
be occupied, states President Otto,
and if the fair grounds were twice as
large, he is of the opinion that they
couid be easily filled with exhibits
and concessions.
And there is every indication,. too,
that the attendance this year is going
to be greater than it ever was in the
listory of the state fair. Tt totaledl
150,000 last year.
“T have been all over South Georgia
during the past few weeks,” said Mr.
Gtton. Mconday morning, “and every
body 1 saw or heard from said they
would surely come to the state fair.
In addition to having the biggest at
tendance, we are going to have the
best fair ever seen in the south. The ‘
people will be amazed at what they‘
are going to see. There has never be- ;
fore been anything like it in these
parts.” ‘
DORSEY SENDS CHECK - |
TO THE WILSON FUND
Covernor-Elect Sends His Best Wishes
For the Success of the Party.
Atlanta, Oct. 31.—Henry Ford and
Hugh M. Dorsey, in declarations fa
voring the re-election of President
Wilson, both are urging the people of
Gieorgia to accept the democratic ad
ministration in the November elec
tion. J. D. Walker, of Sparta, chair
man of the national! finance commit
tee for Georgia, last night said.
“I have a letter from Henry Ford
indorsing my circular letter, quoting
him as favoring President Wilson. Mr.
Ford says in the letter just received
by me that T am at liberty to use his
statements in any way that will aid
in the election of Mr. Wilson.”
More interesting to Georgians,
though, will be this announcement
from Chairman Walker:
' ¢I have the authority of Governor
elect Hugh M. Dorsey to announce
that he has sent in his check to aid
the campaign fund, and he accompa?
ies it with his best wishes for the
success of the ‘party and urges the
democratis of the state to activity.”
Mr. Walker says the campaign fund
activity all over the state Saturday
was highly successful. He expects
the biggest returns next week.

country in the interest of President
Wilson’s campaign for re-election, it
was announced here tonight by Henryl
Morgenthau, chairman of the finance}
committee of the democratic national
cominittee. |
About $500,000 more, according to
Mr. Morgénthau's statement is need
ed “to make certain President Wilsons
re-election.” A summons to New
York state democrats to subscribe the
lJarger part of this amount has been
issued, he asserted.

FOR MAYOR. |
To the people of Cordele: I
Appreciating the support given me
during the past two years as yourl
Mayor, and having to the best of my!
ability honestly and fearlessly dis- |
charged the duties of the office, and‘
as there are yet issues to be settled
of great interest to the city in which
I am interested as any other citizen
would or should be, and having done |
my part in keeping our city in the
forefront, and the good of the city atl
all times safe-guarded as the Mayor |
of Cordele, T hereby announce my can
didacy for,re-election subject to the
city primar¥ election to be held on
the 21st day of November, 1916. If
re-elected, T pledge my best efforts to
forward the cause of the city in every
manner, and tc continue the work of
keeping and maintaining the reputa
tion which Cordele has justly won—
that of being the cleanest city of its
size in the state, in morality, sobriety,
education, religion, civic pride and
honest business. I will apmseciate
the support of all the people, amd trust
that T will merit the votes of every

J. GORDON JONES. |
FOR ALDERMAN.
I hereby announce myself a candi
date for Alderman of the City of Cor
dele subject to the primary of Nov.
21st, and if elected T promise a faith
ful performance of the duties of the
office.
I believe there should be a just and
equitable adjustment of the city’s busi
ness license. Under the present sys
tem the small merchant and shop men
are made to pay an unreasonable pro
portion of the running expenses of’
the city. Every merchant in the city
should be made to pay somewhat in
keeping with his volume of business.
I believe that the minimum water
rent should be reduced to an amount
only sufficient for the running expense
and upkeep of- the plant.
The police department being one ofl
the most important of the city’s gov
ernment I believe it should be kept
up to the highest standard of efficien
cy and that there should be three
shifts of patrolmen working 8 hours
each. 1 believe for the protection of
the city the office of desk sergeant
should be re-established.
I believz the fire department should
be maintained at its present high
standard of efficiency.
1 believe at the very earliest pos
sible date the city should establish
and operate a sanatorium in keeping
with the development and needs of
the city and surrounding territory.
1 believe in the observance of the
CHlristian Sabbath.
If vou helieve in these principles |
vote for me and I will appreciate your
support and do my best to make thel
city a -faithful and efficient officer.
Respectfully,
| J. D. MATHEWS. ‘
