Of course, the meteor was gone
long before the first noise of it was
apparent, and when people looked
the first rumbling, they saw a smoke
streak exactly like that made by an

CORDELE VOTES
BONDS FOR CITY
ELECTRIC PLANT
People Tire Of High
Rates And Try New
Remedy

Cordele, April 21.-The people of
Cordele, tired of what they consider
unjust rates for electric light and
power current furnished by the To-
cal power company, by an overWhel-
ming ballot yesterday voted a bond
issue of $4,000 for the erection of
new municipality owned electric
plant or acquire the present pri-
vately owned one should occasion
arise and it be deemed desirable. An
issue of $4,000 also was voted to
extend the water mains of the water
plant, already owned by the city.
The vote for the bonds was $50
to only 80 against. The local pow
er company was very active to de.
feat the issue, but the movement
was backed by most of the leading
citizens and went through The
margin was close, however, there
being only nine votes to spare, the
law requiring a majority of the
voters registered and two-thirds Of
those voting for the issue to carry.
The electric rate in Cordele is IS
cents per kilowatt for lights and 9
cents for power, against Is and 7
cents respectively in Americus. The
citizens decided tn put stop to this
condition which has been retarding
industrial growth and to attempt to
furnish power and lights at a more
reasonable rate, which they are sure
can be done. The present city
water plant was so constructed that
electrical equipment can easily and
cheaply be installed, and for this
reason and adequate electrical plant
can be had for minimum of eXpen-
diture. The operation of the water
plant by the city, as in Americus,
has been so successful that few per
sons hesitated to vote for the city
to undertake this additional ven
ture

never failed to hit hard lick for
Tech when the opportunity pre-

that Tech had taken him as q
green country boy and made q
genuine success in the world of
him, and that it could do the same

OPEN LETTER NO. 3.

Dear Folks: Did you know that
missionaries are being sent to
Georgia? It's a fact. A for
mer Georgian, who styles himself
'one of those d Yankees up
in Detroit brought that news to
Georgia a few days ago. He was
j. B. Mansfield, president of the
Mansfield Steel Company and the
Detroit Trailer Company, two
large manufacturing concerns of
that marvellous motor-making city.
Mr.. Mansfield was a member
of the Georgia Tech Industrial
Tour party that spent a week ira
versing the state and trying to
rouse the people Of Georgia TO
their senses and to the fact that
they are sleeping on their birth
right industriaily, while the other
fellows in other states are getting
wealthy from Georgia raw pro-
duets. Mr.. Mansfield, who is a
nephew of Neill A. Ray, Sumter
county farmer, was born at Bluff
ton, Clay county, a little town that
hasn't even a railroad. lie spent
some time at Georgia Tech, al
though unable for financial reas-
ons, to complete his course there.
He was for a time an employe of
a Macon concern on Cherry street
at $12 week. Now, after doZ-
en- years in the North, he Is a cap
tain of industry, has made "pot
full" of money, and is the biggest
kind of business success. lie
gives Georgia Tech the credit for
it all. "And Pm going to pa
Tech back $1,000 for every dol
lar she spent on me-" he said -
peatedly on the Tech tour.
But back to the missionaries.
"You know, it made me sore when
| found my church was sending
missionaries to Georgia." said he.
at not only made me sore because
the church was doing it, but be-. .
cause you guys down here are so
far behind the times that you let
them do it. They think you are
a bunch of hook-WOrm victims who
can't take care of yourselves,
and, by golly, when | look around
and see how little you are dong
with what you have, | don't know
that they are so far wrong, after
ALL"
Wholly Impractical in speech
making, Mr. Mansfield was one OF
the most effective takers of the
entire party of distinguished and
skilled speakers. He spoke in the
language of the street, of the
farm and of the factory; he could
"get next to the common people,
handing out what he had to say
in language that they could un-
derstand far better than the aca-
demic, polished words of the more
brilliant orators. And he enjoyed
every minute of it, laughing and
chuekling with great glee as he
poured the hot shot into the hard
ened hides of his hearers.

dressing a large crowd, "you fell

FALLS AT PITTS
Ground Showered Bv
Chunks of Hot Metal
Substance

PITTS, April 21.-A meteor OF
large proportions and travelling in a
northeastern direction exploded over
this city at O'clock Wednesday
morning More than u dozen heavy
explosions were heard, then, as if a
machine gun had been pressed into
action, there was q sharp cracking
in the air for several minutes and
red hot metal, some pieces weighing
six pounds each, began to fall to the
earth, leaving black smoke trails in
an absolutely cloudless sky. No
persons was reported injured.
The majority of the metal pieces,
resembling lead, fell in an open fled
on the outskirts Of the city, some
Of them sinking deep as three feet
into the earth. One piece fell al
most at the feet of a negro farm
hand at work in the field. He statel
that it was red hot as it entered the
earth, and it was too hot to handle
after it had been excavated from It's
hole, which required a period of at
least ten minutes.
Many pieces were picked up in
the field, and the largest has been
boxed and shipped to Atlanta by cit7
izens to be analyzed.
The explosion was heard in RI
dius of more than seven miles from
Pitts.
Only a few citizens sighted the
meteor as it approached t!ic city, but
Immediately after the first explo-
sion which was nouaI to dynamite
blast, there was considerable excite.
mcnt and almost the entire popula'
lion witnessed the rest of the unus
