Timmerman, for thirty years paymaster for the city of NeW York, and who during that time paid out hundreds of millions of the city’s money, recently retired the most pop ular man the city has ever known. For thirty years every time Mr. Tim merman handed out a check he gave a smile with it, and he thus became the friend of thousands of city em ployees. ALLEGED HOLD-UP NEGRO IS NABBED COX RUNS ONTO MAN HE SAID TOOK $lO5 FROM HIM IN BRIDG ES GROCERY. | Charged with the holdup and rob bery of William Henry Cox, a Cordele groceryman, at his suburban store in the southern part of the city several weeks ago, Cleve Barrow, a negro, isj in the county jail. Cox affected the} arrest himself taking the negro in charge when he encountered him on} Eighth street Saturday, and placing him in charge of the police. The pris-i oner was turned over to the sheriff several hours later. | Cox was interested with Zack Bridges in operating a grocery and meat marbet when the robbery is.al leged to have. occurred, the robber} getting away with $lO5. However, Cox severed his connection with the bus iness several days ago and secured employment at Grablowsky Brother's store on Eighth street. According to his statement, as son as he saw Bar row he récognized him as the negro who had brandished a revolver in his tace and commanded him to “give him | that money.” When the negro pu]ledi back the trigger of the revolver and repeated the command, Cox states that he gave him the sack containing the money, and that the highwayman made a quick getaway. The negro is said to have been em ployed by the Chero-Cola company about six months ago. He is said to have had no regular employment in the city since that time. OWNERS INTIMATE THAT THEY THINK MUCH OF CORDELE CITY BONDS NOW OUTSTANDING. Cordele bonds of the 1912 issue for paving, sewerage and water main ex tensions, and school improvements, are now being offered at 11 3-4 cents above par, or 1.11 3-4, These are 5 per cent bonds, and the date of ma turity is October 1, 1942. Robinson-Humphrey-Wardlaw com pany of Atlanta, hold approximately $20,000 worth of these bonds and are holding them for a sale figure which reflect credit on Cordele’s financial standing. The entire 1912 bond issue amounted to $95,000, and all of the bonds not held by the Atlanta con cern are not for sale at figures any less than this firm is offering thtm. Figures show that the status of Cordele’s treasury is more substantial and encouraging than it has ever been before. POLICE OFFICER LOSES = 7" BROTHER ,Q!A;Q_EATH 3 T '.-"" J. T.

CANDIDATES IN DISPATCH CAMPAIGN «reitARE URB FOR VOTES Interéét in Citduiation CAmpalga 1S Inereasing Daily; Today "' isthe Timelto Startfo'Sechre Those Extra Voting C'ei'tifig?tes.;'. ; | 500,000 YOTES: FOR EVERY SlB mNEMNBY SATURDAY The successful candidates in The Cordele Dispatch Circulation Cam paign are going to me the young ladies who are ever on the alert. The young ladies who see to it that no opportuni ty is being allowed to slip up unob served. They will be the young ladies who will make their own opportuni ties by seeng every prospective sub: geriber, and getting those who have given them short-term subscriptions to extend their subscriptions two years or more, and wll secure every possible renewal subssription, espe cially during the extra vote offer, which will expire at 6 p. m. Saturday, January 13. The canddates who will secure these Extra Voting Certificates will be young ladies who know about things. They will be the ladies who are al ways in training. They will be candidates who think about things. They will be candidates who win the prizes of life, and not those who procrastinate. But those who do not trust to ‘luck.’ Those who do-fiot depend on chance. They will be those who work. Those who have some control of themselves, and are arbiters of their fate. Do not trust to “luck,” but get busy and secure enough subseription to earn at least two or three of those Ex tra Voting Certificates good for 500,- 000 Extra Votes, which will go a long ways toward securing the prize of your choice. It is certainly time to awaken to opportunity. The absolute indifference to this great opportunity of securing extra votes which may be the means of securing the Chevrolet Touring Car, or one of the larger prizes, is amazing in some parts of the terri tory in which the Cordele Dispatch circulates. When this campaign ¢loses, there will be some tall sighing when the sleeping candidates awake and find the golden opportunity has SANFORD BEARD BEGS AGAIN FOR MONEY TO.GET HOME Sanford Beard, a well known Cor dele negro, who like other deluded ne groes sold his property and put out for the “Land of Promise” in search of the “gold at the end of the rain bow,” some months ago, has express ed his home loving sentiments in no uncertain terms. It‘s a half a chance to returd that Sanford is in search of, for he has found that the “Land of Promise” is a place none too good to his liking and where the promises of the labor agents are never fulfilled. Sanford writes former Cashier J. M. Hunt (it's president now) of the Citi zens bank for the third time, implor ing in all the terms of eloquence that he can appropriate to-send him some money so he can come back to “Dear oOld Georga,” among real friends who know and understand him. He wants to be away from the hardships, severe cold and sickness among the negroes who emigrated from southern states to work on railroads, in iron works, etc., and from the persistency and tone of his words if he thought praying would de any good he would pray un ceasingly that he might return to Cor dele. The Dispatch published a story some time ago reproducing Sanford’s first letter. A northern negro publica tion got hold of this item, and warped and distorted the truth of The Dis patch’s statement to make it appear that Sanford really considered himself CORDELE NATIONAL MAKES FINE SHOW ANNUAL MEETING RE-ELECTS OF FICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE PAST YEAR.

A in a little heaven up there in the iron works in Pennsylvania, that he was simply being pampered to death by dear loving Yankee friends; that the wanted for nothing and did not an ticipate that he’ éver would among such delightful employees who made it a personal consideration to see that sanford is not overworked and not ill treated and has ‘pléenty of money in his peckets. : But the fact remains that Sanford knows that he is being treated with at little humane feeling as would be given a cart horse and that his death would be no more to his “lovely” em ployees than the departure of a ca nine. Here's his last letter, pleading for money on which to return home: “philadelphia, Pa., dear mr. hunt, i wrote you on the 16th of last montn askin you to sen for me as i am here in tuff; i am still in tuff and want to come back home, where i can be near you, so please send it. i have been lookin for it for to weeks and have not got it yet. So pleas sen for me, be cose it is to cold up here, and i want to come home at once. ours truly, Sanford Beard, 92811 13 st, philadel phia, pa. ; Will Sanford ever get back home? It he does will he have to start over again and save and work and save and work to have a home and some few dolars ahead for a rainy day? B. S. Dunlap, vice president. Cn the first of the year a semi-an nual dividend of 4 rer cent was declar ed by the Cordele National. A re markable statement shown by the an nual report.of the institution is that since the organiation of the bank div idends aggregating $111,500.00 have been declared. . Its financal sheet ‘shdwé the Cordele National in the strongest condition in its history. Its depogits amrount to $414,365.44, a record that eclipses the past year by far.

The Arles Plantation of Amer icus took it circus parade style with a fine car load of Hampshire sows and gilts this morning and went through the streets with a mighty pretty show of fine breeds for stock raising. These went to the stables of Pless & Wil liams where they are to go at auction tomorrow. Many people saw the pa rade. It was not the purpose of the owners to make this a parade, bt it was necessary and such a bunch of fine sows and gilts were never on the streets of Cordele, so far as the town wise acres know. And why not have a parade like that? The city council makes the shows “skeet” all the time. There has not been a circus parade in-—oh, DIXIE LIMITED BROUGHT FIRST TOURISTS TUESDAY The Dixie Limited, operating on a fast schedule between Chicago and Jacksonville made its initial trip of the season Tuesday, carrying a passen ger list of about two hundred tourists from northern climes, seeking the balmy air and sunshine of the delight ful south.
