COUNCIL TALKED
OF WATER Rates
MINIMUM OF go CENTS BROUGHT
UP LIVELY DIscUssION-ALDER-
MAN KING cHAMPloNED LOW
Err RATES.

without resolution before them,
the members of the city council We'd
nesday night last tied up in lively
discussion of the reduction OF the wa
ter rate from minimum of dollar
to a minimum of go cents. The sub
ject came up through the suggestion
of Alderman J. N. King that the city
S now amply able to give it's citizens
minimum of SO cents. He was i'm
mediately crossed by Alderman Hunt,
chairman of the water committee OF
council, and Alderman Sheppard who
strongly opposed granting the reso-
luton.
They argued that they had already
made plans for the present year and
did not want to undo their work with
change in their possible earnings
from the water plant. 1t was sug-
gested that now it will be possible
to make as much money with water
minimum charge of go cents as it has
,een with the dollar minimum charge,
IN account of the fact that it will add
large number of users.
Alderman Hunt said his investiga-
tons had caused him to believe differ
emily and would not agree that the
earnings could be held up to a high
igure if the minimum was cut to go
cents. He argue that the city al
ready had all the water users it could
reach at the dollar minimum.
The matter was dropped after con-
siderable discussion, but Alderman
King said he never intended to shut
I'D" about it till the minimum charge
was reduced.

GREECE GRANTS
BRITISH DEMAND
WILL MOBILIZE, ARMY, DISSOLVE
CHAMBE AND CALL ELECTION
SITUATION IS RELIEVED.

London June 22-Great Britain re
ceived with relief and satisfaction to
night the news that the Greek gov,
eminent had accepted the demands of
the British government for the demob
ilization of the army, the dissolution
of the Chamber of Deputies and gen.
eral election. The demands contained
in note to Greece were officially an
nounced tonight to have been as fol
lows:
First, real and complete demobiliza-
tion of the Greek army, which with
the least possible delay, be placed on
a peace footing.
Second, the immediate replacing of
the present Greek cabinet by bust
ness cabinet having no political color
and offering all necessary guarantees
for the application of benevolent neu-
trality toward the allied powers and
sincere consultation of the national
wishes.
Third, the immediate dissolution
of the chamber, followed by new cleo
lions, after the period required by the
constitution and after general demob
ilization has restored the electoral
body to normal conditions.
Fourth, displacement of certain per
functionaries whose attitude, inspir-
ed by foreign influence, has facilitat
ed attempts against peaceable citi-
zens, as well as insults against the
allied litigations and those under their
jurisdictions.
: When on the call of M. Venizelos
the entente landed force on Soloniki
the attitude of Greece was a worrying
question and caused apprehension in
all the allied countries at the prospect
of German success in the Far East.

When Roland Joseph, three year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce Williams,
learned that old brother, Bruce, had
accompanied his grandparents to Flor
ida, in accordance with his childish
fancy, he placed in suit case por-
ton of Teddy Bear" suit, a blue tie,
a number of soap wrappers and a
nickle, the latter supposedly to defray
his travelling expenses. For some
time the little boy ran out on the YER
anda, telling his mother that he want
ed to kiss her goodbye as the train
was coming. When questioned as to
where he was going he said he was
going to Florida to buy himself an
automobile and that he would buy his
mother lots of pretty things.
Later in the day he went to the
home of his grandparents on Thir-
teenth avenue, but after being there
a while went across the street to join
his little playmates, Mary and Eugh
Wakefield.
His grandparents thought that he
was with the children at play until a
phone message came from Williams

CORDELE BEAT MONTEZUMA S TO
O AT THE OPENING THURSDAY
AND SHOWED WONDERFUL I'M
PROVEMENT.

Cordele outplayed Montezuma at
every turn Thursday, and while it
was largely the excellent pitching of
Price that held the visitors to a white
wash, every player On the team con
tributed his part with jam-up assis-
lance.
Price kept his hits we'll scattered
and the men backing him up did not
make a bobble in the pinches. The
locals have not shown their hitting
ability more convincingly or succeed
ed in driving out hits at more timely
junctures than they did in this game
Price as we'll as being pitcher with
the goods is much of a hitter. He
secured three hits out of four times
up in Thursdays game, though Perry
went him one better and featured with
four hits out of four times up.
Bloodworth opened up on the mound
for Montezuma He was a bit wild
and though ordinarily a dependable
twirler, he found the Cordele bats
men in their prime. Holmes relieved
him in the third and pitched good
ball, surrendering enough bunch hits
for Cordele to score two runs.

CHURCHES ARE TO
GET FREE WATER
COUNCIL AT WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
SESSION HAD LIVELY TIME DIS
CUSSlNG 1T AND MAYOR VOTE
WAS REQUIRED.

At last Wednesday nights session
of the city council resolution was
passed which provided free water for
the churches of the city, Heretofore
the congregations at all the churches
have been charged for their water sup
ply just as the private citizens. The
schools and library has been provid-
ed free water for some time and the
effort to get free water for the church
es took shape only recently.
The resolution was introduced by
Alderman J. N. King. The discussion
took a spirited form, Alderman Shep-
pard and Hunt taking the view that
the churches, if they were given free
water, might not use it economically
as they should.
Alderman King, Lifsey and Wake
field voted for the free supply of wa
ter for the churches and Alderman
Sheppard, Hunt and Mcmillan voted
against the resolution. 1t required the
vote of Mayor Jones TO settle the mat
ter. This gave the churches their sup
ply of water without charge.

Rio Janeiro, June 23.-The Mexican
and United States crisis is being fol-
lowed with keen interest in Brazil.
1t occupies large space in the news
papers.
The general tone of editorial COM
ment is that President Wilson, while
actuated by the best motives, has
run afoul of preponderating elements
in Mexico under German influence.
Official circles express the hope
that war will be avoided. 1t is fully
realized, however, that continued dis
orders in Mexico must end in weary

BATHING POOL AT
Seven SPRINGS
COUNCIL PLANS FOR FINE MU-
NlClPAL BATHING POOL AND
WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN
STARTED. YOUNGSTERS DE-
LIGHTED.

1t took about half minute for the
members of the city council to make
arrangements to improve Seven
Springs and convert the place into a
municipal bathing pool after the mem
bers found out Wednesday night that
the people of the community wanted
the advantages of such improvements.
| For several weeks agitation has had
| it's good effect and now Chairman Lift
sey of the buildings and improvements
committee of the city council and
Chirman Sheppard of the streets and
parks committee are joined hands in
putting the springs i'll fine order They
we're given authority by the Mayor and
| Council
The city is not going to spend a
great amount of money, but Aldermen
Lifsey and Sheppard are going to
make what they do spend for the city
count for the most. Plans they have
in mind will carry sufficient improve
ments to give the youngsters at least
a pretty good pool and appropriately
laid our grounds.
Citizens and business men interested
in carrying the bathing pool idea fur
Their, have suggested supplimenting
the fund the city is going to spend
with like amount in order to get
some comfortable bath houses and
other needs, 80 that the place can be
thrown open wide for both sexes and
plenty of room made for everybody.
1t is a pretty we'll determined pur-
pose of the city fathers not to go into
any plans Whereby a charge of any
kind can be made for the use of the
pool or the grounds. They want the
place made attractive and held open
for free use of the entire community.
Chief Sanitary Inspector Bill Bussey
is already at work and he will soon be
ready to call the youngsters out Of the
creek to better place. The boys will
celebrate the change with plunge in
which the entire youthful population
of the city will have a part.
