OFFICER GETS CAR
And THE Thief
M. j. STARTLING LOST NEW
FORD AND OFFICER ESTES RE.
COVERED lT-NEGRo IN JAIL.

A Ford car belonging to M. ]. Star
ling was stolen Wednesday night
about twelve O'Clock by negro named
Jim Ragin Thinking that it was
his chance, left for Albany at about
the rate of thirty-five miles an hour.
Officer Estes was fortunate enough
to capture the negro. He saw him
leaving town and wired ahead
AT the same time Officer Estes and
Mr. Startling went after him in anoth-
err car.
About an hour after the negro had
left town he was in the hands of the
officer, and was brought to Cordele
and lodged in the county Jail.
The car was not damaged in any
way. but there was some trouble
identifying it. The car was new and
there was no number on it. The car
was standing in front of the Wood
men Hall when it was stolen.

DRAFTED men WILL
Be very BUSY

Atlanta, Ga. Aug 31-What will be
the schedule or program of the men
in the training camps which open in
September?
This question is in the minds of ev-
cry relative and friend of the drafted
men, and in the minds especially in
the minds of the people in the cities
near which the training camps are To-
Gated.
No one in Atlanta, of course, can
speak for the commanders of the
camps away from this city but so far
as Major General Eben Smith is con-
cerned, his program for the men of
Camp Gordon seems to be pretty def
initely formulated in his own mind.
In the first place, no soldier will
not be allowed to come to Atlanta I'M
til he has been completely equipped
with uniform, shoes, hat, leggins, ect
After that, no soldier will be allowed
to come to the city until he has mas
tered the first rudiments of military
discipline, such as holding his Shout
ders erect, saluting his superior Off
GERS, behaving himself, ect And af-
ter that, not more than 5000 soldiers
a day will be allowed to leave the
camp, and they will not be allowed to
leave the camp until after o'clock
in the afternoons, and must be back
in bed by 10 o'clock
Hence it would seem that most of
the visiting among soldiers and their
relatives and friends will be confined
to the large recreation halls at Camp
Gordon. While five thousand sol
ders are in the city seeing the movie
shows and otherwise amusing them
selves, $4,000 soldiers will be at the
camp, receiving their visitors in the
reception halls.
Twelve hours day every day, in
Guiding Saturday, but not including
Sunday, will be the program of the
men of the national army, who must
be turned from raw recruits into
trained soldiers in the pink of condi-
tion in six months
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-09-02

their members throughout the coun-
try can render most valuable help in
this respect. | am therefore appeal
ing to all these organizations to use
their influence and to urge their in
dividual members to do all they can
to the end that the standards of the
schools in the several States and cit
les shall not be lowered in any way,
and that no children of school age
shall remain out of school except be-
cause of absolute necessity.
For the sake of this great cause,
in which feel sure oyu are no less in
terested than | am, | am taking the
liberty Of requesting you to bring
this matter to the attention of all the
labor organizations of your city. May
also suggest that since schools in
many cities open very soon after La
Dor day, it might be very helpful if
special attention should be given to
this matter on that day"

LABOR UNIONS TO HELP IN
CAMPAIGN FOR SCHOOLS

Organized labor drought the coun-
try has been urged to lend its aid in
the campaign undertaken by the I'm
tied States Commissioner of Educa-
ton to secure the greatest possible
school attendance this year. In let
ter addressed to State and city labor
bodies throughout the United States,
Commissioner Claxton says
For the protection of our boys and
girls against unusual temptations to
fall into delinquencies of many kinds,
and that they may be prepared more
fully for the work 4Oe life and the
duties and responsibilities of citi-
zenship, tits of the utmost importance
that our schools shall be maintained
in full efficiency, both as to atten-
dance and standards of work, during
the continuance OF the war, and ev-
erything possible should be done to
increase their efficiency in both res

OUR HAND Wine
into Sewer TODAY
ONE THOUSAND BARRELS STOR.
ED AT PELHAM DESTROYED
Ely OFFICERS.

Pelham, Ga, August 30.-One thou
sand barrels of scurpernong wine,
the famous Hand Wine" is being
poured into a sewer here today by
Sheriff c ID. Crow and City Marshal
j. M. Smith
The wine, which was worth .ap-
prCXimately $4,000, was stored in
the basement of the Pelham Oil and
Fertilizer Co.'S plant, an enterprise
i'll which the late Judson l.. Hand,
who owned the wine, was largely in
terested.
1t was the desire of Mr. Hand, ex-
pressed some time before he died
that the wine go to the University
Oh Georgia, the proceeds Of its sale
to be used for aiding worthy young
men of Georgia TO obtain a college
education. But no way was found
to get around the state bone-dry pro-
hibition law, and so it was decided
to pour the wine out
A special sewer pipe was laid a
distance of 100 feet from a city sew
er main to the door of the basement
where the wine was stored. A brack-
ct to hold the barrels was erected at
the opening of this special pipe, and
the sheriff and marshal are today d.
recting a number of hands to the
work OF rolling the barrels to the
door and pouring their contents into
the pipe.
The work began about II O'Clock
this morning and will probably not
be finished today, SO great is the task.
Only about $50 of the barrels are
full Of wine, the remainder being
from one-third to one-half full. The
loss was caused by the rotting of the
barrels and their hoops and the fact
that holes had been bored into some
Of the barrels.
Large numbers of curious persons
are visiting the scene of the pouring
throughout the day
