MAKE FLAG DAY
GREAT OCCASION
LADIES PLANNING PREPARED
NESS PARADE FOR JULY THE
FOURTH THAT WILL MANIFEST
GREAT CIVIC PRIDE.

. All Cordele will warmly cooperate
with the D. A. R. to make the unveil-
ing and presentation of the beautiful
electric flag on July Fourth a great
occasion. The D. A. RS believe it
will mean much to this city and sec
ton. Not only will the day be an oc-
casion of the patriotic spirit of the
city, but it will also be an occasion for
demonstration of the civic spirit of
the city which will attract general at
tention every where.
The preparedness parade is to be
such a success that it will attract Wis
itors from towns within automobile
distance of the city. This will be a
unique occasion. The ladies feel that
the town will rise and meet in man
ner befitting a splendid and growing
city.
Only one other town in Georgia has
enjoyed the unique distinction of I'M
yelling and possessing cold Glory
electrified, and that city is Athens,
What a great time she made of it.
Echoes of the noise and splendor of
that day resounded throughout the
nation.
The D. A. r. in their patriotism and
pride have made it possible and Cor
dele is going to meet them in this
splendid undertaking.
They want the chamber of com
commerce to furnish band for the
parade. The ladies are assisting
greatly in their work by making it
possible for Cordele to have such a
day.
The occasion and the parade with
flying banners and band music, will
furnish an object lesson in patriotism
for the children they can never forget
and will serve to arouse the loyalty OF
the people to a renewed patriotism
and civic pride. The chamber of com
merce will be urged to appoint com
mittees to work with the ladies tt
this one of the best occasions Cordele
has ever known.
"The splendid undertaking Of the
part of the ladies deserves it and the
civic pride Of the town demands it,
said one of the lady promoters yester
day in speaking of the plans.

Want TO create
new DISTRICTS
ONE OF TURNER, TIFT AND CRISP
THE OTHER OF IRWIN, WILCOX
AND BEN HILL.

Ashburn, June 13.-The sentiment
in favortof the creation of some new
senatorial districts in Georgia has re-
ceived quite an impetus in this sec.
ton since the recent convention. At
that time Col. A. S. Bussey and other
delegates from counties in this section
informally discussed the matter and
it was suggested that a meeting of
citizens from counties in this territory
be called to meet at Fitzgerald before
the converting of the legislature and
draft bill to create two new dis
tricts in this part of the state.
According to Hon. W. R. Bowen, Of
Fitzgerald, Ben Hill and other affected
counties will welcome the movement
and any feasible plan that will give us
more senators from this section.
The tentative plan is to take Tur-
ner county from the Tenth district,
which is composed of four counties;
Tiff from the Sixth, which is composed
of four counties, and Crisp from the
Fourteenth, which is composed of five
counties, and make a compact district
composed Of the three counties Of Tur-
ner Crisp and Tiff, to be known as the
Forty fifth district; and to take Viii
cox from the Fourteenth district,
which now has five counties, and Ben
Hill and Irwin from the Fifteenth dis
trict, which is composed of six coun-
| ties, and make a new Forty-siXth dis
trict composed of the three counties
of Irwin, Ben Hill and Wilcox.
This would leave three counties in
the old Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth
district, and four counties in the Fiji
teenth district.
| When the constitution of 1887 was
Iadopted, the general arrangement OF
the senatorial districts was three coun
ties per district. In view Of the mum
Der of new counties created in this
section OF the state, each of the new
counties having now far greater pop
ulation and taxable value than than
either of the old counties from which
they were created had in 1877, it would
be but fair to create the new districts
as proposed and it is thought no oppo
sition would develop from the state
at large.
The chairmen of the executive com
mittee of the six counties of Turner
Tiff, Crisp, Irwin, Ben Hill and Will
cox will be asked to name delegates tC
the Fitzgerald meeting to draft bills
and appoint committees to push the
matter through the approaching ses
sion of the legislature. 1t is expected
! that the present representatives, coun
; ty officers, newspaper men and sucf
citizens of the counties named as will
/ attend that meeting ana give as mucf
: impetus as possible to the movement
as constitutional amendment will b.
necessary to accomplish the object.

The recent acquisition to the Cor

full changes in it's playing, and has had
the desired result of coping game

When Cordele's sluggers get after

BURGLARS SWIPE
MANY GOOD THINGS
GOOD CHURCH GOERS SUSTAIN
LOSSES WHILE THEY ATTEND
i SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICES Po.
LICE AT WORK.


The nature of their thefts would in
dictate that burglars who visited the
homes of some of Cordeles suburban
residents Saturday and Sunday night,
were rather hungry and that they
were also choice in their taste. Savory
dishes of spring chicken seemed to
appeal to them most, and their art in
the theft of the fowls was unmistaka-
bly, that of the negro variety. AS a
consequence, half a dozen or more
good citizens are not as well prepared
to extend hospitality to the preacher
as they once were.
In addition to these thefts bulglaries
occurred at fully nalf dozen other
homes which left the occupants in a
serious predicament Tor sufficient
wearing apparel. No less than dozen
burglaries occurred in the residence
section of East Cordele on these two
nights and hundreds of dollars worth
of clothing, food supplies and chick
ems were stolen. Circumstances make
it appear that there was an organized
band of the thieves, taking advantage
of the absence of the residents of their
Saturday night business or in attend
ance upon preaching services Sunday
night.
The thieves took Saturday night
mostly for chicken stealing, and those
who were losers of about all of their
flocks as a result were A. M. Stead,
w. P. Fleming, G. A. Ballenger, c.. o.
Noble and Fred Harder. The thieves
also visited the home of ]. O. Ander-
son but found members of the family
there and in view of stubborn pro-
test put up by Mi. Anderson conclud-
ed not to push matter. AT the home
of Mr.. Ballenger they found dressed
chickens in the refrigerator, together
with other food supplies and these
they took with them. Clothing and
other articles of value were stolen
from some of these homes.
Sunday night the home of Mrs. w.
C. Pierce was burglariZed, and here
they left evidences of the complete
ness of their work by taking articles
of clothing. The burglar or burglars
turned things topsy turvey in the
house and stole clothing and shoes
belonging to Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce and
their son and daughter, Van Allen
and Miss Colene Pierce, revolver
and other articles.
Tracks about the house indicate that
there were two of the burglars, per-
haps man and woman They made
good use of the time that members of
the household spent at preaching SER
vices Sunday night to steal everything
which seemed to strike their fancy.
Entrance to the house was forced
through screen door, which. had been
locked from the inside. They cut
hole through the screen sufficiently
large to permit the passage of mans
body, and after gaining entrance in
this manner unlocked the door. Wear
ing apparel bearing the names of mem
bers of the family was unmolested.
The police are making every effort
to apprehen the thieves, and are now
working ON several clues which may
lead to arrests.
