Sci Nd FOR ME-
NOW . IS PLEA.
Of NEGRO CONE
To THE NORTH
THOSE GONE NORTH ARE SUFFER
ING HARD WINTER COLD. SAN
FORD BEARD, coRDELE NEGRO,
WRITES FOR MONEY.

The exodus OF negro labor to north
ern and eastern points continues not
outstanding the reports of sickness,
hardships and deaths that are CON-
ing back south to the families and
| white friends of the negro emigrants.
However, these reports have had the
effect of lettering the stream of mi
grafton to some extent, at least from
this section.
The negroes who have gone to Con-
necticut and other states from Cor
dele and surrounding sections have
found that the "Gold at the end of the
rainbow" is a myth of the most de-
ceptive sort. Many of them would
like to return home and they write
their people of "sho nuff'' cold wealth
er a prevalence of consumption and
other diseases among the negroes who
are unaccustomed to the colder eli
mate Of the north, poor treatment, and
a longing to return to the sunny south
and the home in Dear Old Georgia"
If their feet ever touch southern soil
again, no glowing tales of fortune
elaborated by labor agents can again
take them across the Mason and Dix
on line.
If those who would listen to the
smooth tongued labor agents will take
the advice of Sanford Beard one of
Cordele's best known negro citizens
who recently took trip to the sup
in Philadelphia digging coal and doing
the most laborous work in the steel
plants, they will be satisfied that the
white man of the south is after all
their best friend and that the sunny
cline of the southland is more indu
Give to good health than wintry winds
and snow.
Here's what Sanford writes to Cash
Ter j. M. Hunt of the Citizens Bank,
with whom he did his banking bust
ness in Cordele and for whom he was
accustomed to work some. Several
months ago Sanford sold some prop
erty, got a nice little sum together
and went forth to get a good start.
1t had always been his custom when
he needed financial aid to go to Mr..
Hunt or others from whom he Sc
cured assistance. Now he writes Mr..
Hunt the following letter, enclosing
a check, for which he has no money
in the bank. However Mr. Hunt will
honor the check and give Sanford
chance to come back home.
Tn,
words the letter reads like this:
philadelphia, pa, dec the Is, 1915:
dear Mr.. hunt: am hear now in tuff
and want to get out off this place
rat a way if have not got it there,
please send for me rat way, so can
come HON and stay where i am near
err you. Sanford Beard"

With view of going after the Wee

has been busy as a man could be with
the details of organizing and the pro-
gressive farmers have joined him in
their efforts to put the clubs to serv-
ing the purpose of informing the cot
ten grower Of the best means of cop
ing with the weevil.
The work will be carried among the
colored farmers and it is the purpose
of Demonstration Agent Johnson to
give every colored farmer the fullest
advantage of the information at hand.
The negroes will be informed from
time to time as to where the clubs
will be formed and they will be urged
to attend the meetings and learn of
the ways of growing cotton with the
weevil at work.
Every detail that will be of i'm
portance will be presented at the club
meetings and discussed. Those who
attend will among themselves discuss
plans and advise Mr.. johnson about
the essentials.

HERE'S HOW TALK OF LOCAL

said representative of local farm
ers exchange over the phone to a
market man, what are you offering?"
What do the hogs weigh?' ques-
toned the market man in return and
was told that they weighed from $50
to 300 pounds. The reply from the
market man was that he couldn't fig
ure on the hogs, that they weighed too
much to be handled through his mar
ket and that porkers from 100 to $50
pounds were used practically alto
gether there.
This put the representative to think

QUICK FIRE LAST

JACK DRAGGED NEGRO BACK AND
CAME NEAR COSTING HUMAN
LIFE. SMALL INSURANCE.

One OF the most destructive fires
that has occurred in Cordele for some
time Tuesday night at 9 o'clock de-
stroyed the veterinary stables OF DR..
S. Mathis, located on Twelfth avenue,
west The fire probably originated
from heater in the office in the front
of the building, a wooden structure.
When the alarm was turned in to
the fire department the flames had
enveloped the entire front end and
though they responded quickly, the
fire had spread over the entire struc-
ture when they arrived. The work
of the department was the subject or
much commendation They fought the
flames like veterans.
Together with the building large
quantity of feed stuff, veterinary in
struments valued at $500, belonging
to- DR.. Mathis also sixty fine chickens
belonging to him, a jack valued at
$3.50, belonging to stock company
and other property were destroyed.
The building belogned to Pless d
Williams and was valued at 81 800,
with insurance of $500 There was
no insurance on the jack or other
property. Several head Of stock were
saved from the flames.
A negro led the jack from the
building, and had an exciting expert
ence in doing so. Following the in
stinct possessed by stock in case OF
fire, the jack turned and ran back
into the flames. The animal clamp
ed a firm hold on the Negroes arm
with his mouth and dragged him al
most into the flames. The negro freed
himself only after desperate fighting.
A brick building, adjoining the
burned stables belonging to J. t.
Westbrook, and a residence in the
rear of the stables, also his property,
were damaged from the fire. This
loss was covered by insurance.

OBSERVE RULES
FOR SHIPPING
POSTMASTER MACARTHUR MAKES
PLANS TO HANDLE CHRISTMAS
BUSINESS.

Holiday business through the Cor
dele post Office last year netted but
one single claim for lost goods, and
two or three complaints for delay.
This time Postmaster Macarthur is
making arrangements to do even bet
ter than this and he has furnished the
rules which must be abided for sue
cessful and safe transportation of
Christmas packages. Here they are:
Packages must be packed and Sc
curely wrapped according to the ma
ture of its contents to secure it's safe
ty in the mails, and to prevent its
damaging other mail
Packages containing articles which
by their nature are easily broken, must
be marked fragile.
Packages containing perishable ar
ticles, as candy, fruits, meats, vege-
tables, or others of perishable ma
ture must be marked fragile. Such
packages should have special delivery

the best ever experienced in the coun-
ty. There is not farmer to be found
who has not increased his stock and
raised better hogs this year. In many
instances the breed has been lmprov-
ed and fine Durocs, Berkshires and
other high quality hogs are about as
common as the piney woods rooter
used to be.
The warm weather of the few days
preceding the present cold season had
little effect on the meat that had been
killed during the week and in no case
that has been learned have the farm
ers lost any meat. But the record
cold weather for the year since Mon
day has been responsible for hun
dreds of fine porkers being slaughter
ed in the county. Backbone and spar
erribs fresh. juicy hams, ETC., are a
comm on dish among Cordele residents
and scores of farm wagons can be
seen daily bringing them in.

ing of the boil weevil they are put
to the serious disadvantage Of having
to ship their hogs and cattle to other
markets where packing plants are
located His good judgment also led
him to know that the farmer who is
raising hogs and cattle for ready cash
cannot find as good a market for cur
er meat as for the animal on foot.
This led him to inquire why Cor
dele has not packing plant to take
care of the progressive farmers of
the county and section, and make pos
sible the sale of hogs and cattle the
year round He found that there is
already some strong desire for such
an enterprise, and the representative
Of the local farmers exchange is now
content to put his shoulder to the
wheel with others and start the ball
rolling in good fashion for packing
plant for Cordele.

Thirty-five years ago Robert Wilcox,
then a mere slip of lad, like Long
fellows boy, barefoot with chicks of
tan left his home in McRae to attend
the Cotton States Exposition in At
lanta in 1881.
Just what made him do it he can't
tell you but from that day the wan
derlust seized him with all Of its al
Turing destinations, and he did not
return home. 1t was not because he
did not have comfortable home or
that the pleasures that appealed to
his boyish fancies were not provided
there or that the parents were I'M
kindly, or that he did not find his
brothers and sisters congenial play
mates. His Imagination just painted
vivid pictures in his mind OF distant
cities and wondrous things to see in
the big wide world. He started out
to make his own way and from place
to place, through state after state he
wandered, plying various occupations.

PLANS ADOPTED AND SENT FOR

LET WITHIN A SHORT TIME
$4,000 TO BE EXPENDED.

Prospects bid fair for an early i'm
provement and enlargement of the
Carnegie library of this city. Plans
providing for an expenditure of ap-
proximately $12 900 will probably be
approved by James Bertram, of New
York secretary of the Carnegie FOun-
dation, within a short time, and the
contract given Immediately thereafter
for the actual work of construction
to begin.
The blue prints and specifications as
drawn and submitted by Eugene Wa
chindorff an architect of Atlanta,
were recently approved by the local
board of trustees of the library, R.
l.. Huffman, chairman, j. j. Williams
and w. Fl. Doris. They were then
forwarded to the representative OF
the Carnegie Foundation in Georgia
Miss Louise Crumley, of Atlanta, APP
proved by her and forwarded to Mr..
Bertram.
The plans call for no change in the
arrangements for Improvement as
originally made. The north end Of
the library will be extended, increas-
ing the floor space of the building to
twice it's present size as we'll as pro
viding for a spacious room in the base
