ATLANTA CTTL FATHERS
TO INVESTIGATE CONTRACTS

ATLANTA, Ga. May 23.-Atlanta's
city council has ecided to probe itself
to find out whether any of its mem
bers are improperly interested in city
contracts and the purchase of sup
plies for the various departments.
The probe was started by resolu-
ton introduced by council member
who asserted that it was common talk
around city hall that several members
of the council were the financial bene-
ficiaries of city contracts and city
purchases. The resolution did not
name any members.
In order to clear its skirts, the
council decided to make an investiga-
ton Following closely on the heels
of the recent investigation of the pol
ice board were being supplied with
confiscated blind tiger whiskey, the
new probe bids fair to the equally as
interesting as the other.

LENA LOWE SANITARlUM
DOING IMPORTANT WORK

J 1t will be remembered by some that
on May 18th three years ago the
Lena Lowe Sanitarium held its open
ing exercises in the home of Lena
Lowe ON North tenth street in small
four room house, Today ON our third
birth day we find ourselves occupying
a much larger building with every
available space taken, doing an "all
around good business towards releiv
ing suffering humanity as well as
making history for the race and the
city of Cordele.
While it is still true that we are
operating in rented quarters, plans are
being made to purchase a suitable
location some where in the city of
Ccrdele for the Sanitarium.
During our three years work one
hundred and fify-eight patients have
been treated, only nine of this num-
Der died, this report will be considered
by those who are familiar with hospit-
al work as Very good"
The coming of these patients to the
Sanitarium is to be credited to the
untiring efforts of the white and color
ed physicians together with the un-
firing efforts of Lena Lowe to make
the hospital a success.
The spring shower and rally that
was arranged for the Sanitarium some
weeks ago was postponed on account
of the illness of Lena Lowe and the
rush of work at the house but will be
carried out in the near future. Quite
a number of friends contributed during
the few hours work that was done. A
list of these names will be published
later.

USE,MiENTS.
At tho Strand.

That critical chapter in the nations
history preceding the election of Abra :
ham Lincoln to the presidency Of the
United States, and the period OF bloody
strife which followed when the coun-
try was plunged into the great civil,
war, is most WILDLY portrayed in "The
Crisis now being shown at the Strand.
This photo play, which is a picturi-
cation of the novel of the same name
by Winston. Churchill, is one of the
best historic pictures ever shown in
the city. AS a chapter from our coun-
try's past that has been brought for
ward and inserted in our present, it is
timely, stimulus to patriotism and
really remarkable and effective in its
presentation.
BY it we are permitted to see the
stirring scenes Of ante bellum days,
when the subject Of slavery had rent
the nation; the great debate between
Lincoln and Douglas, at Freeport, H.:
the excitement in the south attending
the nomination and election Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, the attack upon Fort
Sumter that ushered in the awful hor-
rors of the civil war. We are shown
the siege. battle and fall of Vicksburg,
and we see Sherman, Grant and Jack
son. the president and his cabinet, all
portrayed in faithful detail. The bat
tie scenes are vivid pieces of realism,
perhaps the best ever seen here in
moving pictures.
And thru it all there runs the grip
ping love story of Virginia Carvel, the
daughter OF proud southern family,
and Stephen Brice, impoverished In
fortune, but Of the New England ar
istocracy.
The cast, which is well above the
average in ability, includes George
Fawcett, as Judge Whipple, who gives
a remarkably able Interpretation Of the
part. In the "close ups" he is shown
to be a master of facial expression.
Matt B. Snyder, the s2-year- old veteran
Of the stage and screen, is cast in the
part of Col. Comyn Carvel, for which
he is admirably fitted. Bessie Eyton
as Virginia Carvel. the proud young
southern beauty. plays her part with
sympathy and gracefulness. Thomas
Santschi as Stephen Brice. is manly
young fellow with the courage Of his
convictions, and Sam .. Dranc as
Abraham Lincoln gives a strong and
intelligent Characterization Of the part
