KING, SHEPPARD AND M'MILLAN
SEEM NOT TO KNOW TROUBLE.
THEY SAY BLAME SHOULD NOT
BE PLACED ON THEM.
Robinson’s circus passed up Cordele
this week. The Con T. Kennedy
Shows had a representative here this
week and he is gone. The Sparks cir
cus came and made plans to show, but
left. Robinson’s had done the same
thing, but got out as fast as possible.
Ringland, the greatest of them all, got
as near as Albany, ran up to see about }
it and sailed away in another direc-i
tion. Something is mysteriously|
wrong. It may be the circus man.
Certainly it is not the mayor and*
council. The Dispatch said that onei
time,—that was enough. Members of
that body proceeded to show that the!
statement was erroneous. I
Alderman King said nine out of ten
shows that come here do not comel
into the city at all and hence care
nothing about what license is fixed.i
He said it was not his fault. He also
said no business man in this commun
ity ever came to him and asked that
the circus be kept off the amusement
boards. He couldn't shoulder the
blame,—so far as he has to do with
it there is no blame.
~ Alderman John Sheppard used to
let them have his lands for a show
ground, but these are now all in oats,‘,
and he’ll be hanged if he is going to |
give up his oat patch for any of them.
The shows used to pay a little for the
grounds, but the oats are worth more !
new. That story passes judgment and
leaves the alderman all to the good.‘
This member of the license commit-l
tee dqesn’t know just exactly whatl
is the 'matter. : |
And now for Alderman McMillan.
He is the third member of this com
mittee and probably has more of the
werk to do than the others. He says
council fixes the license for the cir
cus,—that it is none of the business
of the committee to be changing it.
He says the shows tear up the streets
and flim-flam some few of the suck
ers as they go along.
And as for the circus representa
tive: He says his $2OO to the city,
$175 to the county and his hundred
and one other bills attaching to a
show here simply puts him to the bad.
He says he must have police protec
tion for his shows, is willing to pay a
fairly good price, but cannot even
up with the fixed expenses in Cordele,
and on he goes.
May be, the long-headed old busi
ness man isn’t to blame, after all, for
the whole crowd of those at interest
think now that he has never taken
time to study about it. And the cir
cus is passing on by.

PEOPLE OF CORDELE HELDA
BIG WILSON DEMONSTRATION
THOUSANDS. OF PEOPLE, YOUNG
AND OLD, TOOK PART IN DOWN
TOWN CELEBRATION FRIDAY
NIGHT—THE BEST FUN OF ALL.
Those who went to their slumbers
Iriday night not caring who was
named president of the United States
were rudely disturbed I_Jy fire alarms,
the ringing of big farm bells, tooting
of steam whistles, the screeches of a
thousand auto horns, and the lusty
yelling of a hundred youngsters to
every square foot of down-town stand
ing space. They celebrated Wilson’'s
clection in a manner that took the
modest on-lookers with surprise. To
say everybody enjoyed the occasion is
putting it mildly. -
The members of the local Wilson
club at noon Friday when the first
Wilson news of a reliable character
came began making prans for a cele
bration. It was only half a day be
fore the whole community should cel
obrate, for while enthusiasm ran high
the time was best. Committees were
sent to the various duties and when
the hour of seven o’clock came all the
city,—men, women and children,—
were down town. Uncle Sam in the
person of F. M. Coker, the night shirt
brigade (which by the way, was a
small one but enthusiastic), the red
fire group, the tin pan, tin horn, the
cow bell groups were on hand.
The fire alarm sounded at seven.
From that moment the celebration
was on. The principal features were
the foot parade and the auto parade
in the streets, and the songs and yells
consisted of parodies sung to fit the
occasion. Young and bld alike took
part and made the evening a fine one,
—a new one so far as celebrating was
concerned.
W.. H. Dorris, Dr. T. J. McArthur,
M. M. Eakes, Dr. A. L. McArthur,
Judge Whipple, O T. Gower, and fifty
to one hundred other men made the
evening a happy one with the songs.
J. V. Dunlap and F. L. Bartholomew
gave their time to-making the auto
parade a success. P. M. Browning,
James H. Brown, Hugh Lasseter, Joe
Walters and J. C. Brown headed the
red fire parade. A full hundred boys
and a dozen or more little girls made
up the tin-pan brigade. Their portion
of the noise fitted the occasion in
splendid manner. “Their noise mingled
with that of the auto horns kept things
going for a full two hours. Rain broke
into the celebration a short time, but
it lasted until there were no vocal
cords left intact.
A motor road has been built in Bo
livia that crosses the Andes 17,000
feet above sea level.
THE CORDELE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOV. 12, I¢l6.

frnge advocate and made this one of

THE SONGS WE SANG
Following are two of the songs wused in Friday nights vgclebratlon.
They show how wonderfully well capacitated the authors were to fitting
the occassion with music.
TO THE TUNE OF “OLD BLACK JOE.” .
Gone are the day that the Yankees used:to know;
Gone are the days when the cotton sold too low;
Gone are the days when the wheat they could not grow;
; We hear those Western women calling,
old Wood-row!
REFRAIN
He's winning! He's winning!
And the way he’s sure to know;
We hear those Western women calling
old Wood-row.
Gone are the days that the Wall Street Bankers know;
Gone are the days when the money takes in tow;
Gone are the days for the South to exile go;
" We hear those Western women calling,
old Wood-row! :
These are the days when the cotton blossoms grow,
These are the days when the Bull Moose eats the Crow;
These are the days when the Western breezes blow
Right through the whiskers of old Hughes to
oOld Wood-row.
—M. M. EAKES
SUNG TO TUNE OF “TIPPERARY."”
It's a long ways to Calironia,
It's a long ways to go;
It's a long ways to California,
To the sweetest girl I know.
Goodbye Massachusetts, farewell Herald Square,
It’s a long, long ways to California,
: But Woodrow’s right there.

for the past twenty-three years, and
Lis special study has been that of the

cattle to produce the best results
both in quality and quantity of the
meat in the market, and he is in po

never fails to courteously do.
Mr. Price stated it as his opinion
that peanut fed hogs on the foot will

that feeding on corn from sixty to
