GRAND PARADE
OF Vets CLOSES
ALBANY REUNION
Gen. Thomas Leads
March THROUGH City
Streets

ALBANY, May IL - American
Legion members, Rotarians, Kiwan-
ians, Elks, Odd Fellows, Patriotic
Order Sons of America members,
school children, boy scouts, city and
county officials and others had
places in the line of march of the
grand parade with the Confederate
Veterans of Georgia, which brought
the thirteenth annual reunion of
the veterans to a close this after
noon.
General G. A. Thomas, of Dublin,
state commander, accompanied by
Miss Miriam Jones, of Albany, led
the parade, formation of which be-
gan at o'clock. Each brigade of
veterans found its formation stand
placarded, and the streets in that
vicinity roped off and closed to traf-
fic.
Chief of Police w T Lockett at
noon closed the streets along which
the parade was to move.
Thirty beautifully decorated auto
mobiles led the line of march and
made a beautiful appearance.
Following General Thomas and
Miss Jones, who were mounted, came
cars bearing the city officials; cars
three and four carried the county
officers; car five carried the county
commissioners; officers came next in
cars six, seven and eight: sponsors
and maids of honor in cars nine, ten,
eleven and twelve; veterans unable
to walk in the remaining cars.
An interesting feature of Thurs
dav's proceedings was the singing of
old time songs by Mrs. Henry d,
Capers, of Moultrie, a "real Daugh-
ter of the Confederacy." Mrs. Ca
pcrs is Sc years old and walks on
crutches, but she played her own ac-

the reunion, entertaining large
crowds with her wit and brilliant
powers everywhere she went

fine CROPS
COUNTY FARM
Great Oats, Wheat, Cab
baqe And Other
Yields Made

The finest crops ever grown by
the county forces are now in evil
dence on the Sumter county poor
farm a short distance west of Amerl-
Gus. The farm, consisting of more
than 100 acres, is worked by the six
colored inmates and county convict
forces, under the direction of Over
seer Collum and john B. Ansley
county engineer. The farm produces
a large share of the feed needed
for the large number of mules re
ouired for road work and food for
the county convict gangs for a large
part of the year, except meat, flour,
sugar, ETC., which must be purchas-
ed.
The Timcs-Recorder office was
handed this morning a head of cab
bagc weighing 13 IL pounds raised
on the farm. Other heads have been
cut weighing 5 or more pounds,
and 500 heads just as good are SAID
to be standing on the two or three
acres devoted to cabbage. In the
ten acres devoted to garden truck
arc also onions, turnips, beans, Irish
potatoes and corn. In another
place 10000 sweet potato plants
have been set and the number vii!
shortly be doubled. Four hundred
bushels of sweet potatoes were pro-
duccd last year and the yield is eX-
pected to be between 800 and 1000
bushels this year.
Eighty acres of oats have Just
been cut. They are unusually fine
pronounced by some the best In
the county-and will yield from 20
to so bushels to the acre. A field OF
fine wheat consisting of five acres,
will produce 40 bushels to the acre.
All of the crops on the farm are
doing we'll this year and will save
the county a large amount of cash
in caring for animals and conVicts.

CORDELE, AFTER
VOTING PLANT,
TO GET POWER
Grants Franchise To Al
bany Concern On
Americus Terms

The Georgia-Alabama Utilities,
which last week obtained a franchise
in Amerlcus to distribute electric cur
rent from the Alabama hydro-electrlc
plant on the Flint river, has just
obtained similar franchise in Cor
dele. The terms of the franchise
there are identical with those granted
by Americus, and for a period of 70
wears. The Cordele officials were
Informed that the same rates to be
in effect in Albany, Americus and
other communities served by the
company would apply to Cordele.
The entry of the company III Cor
dele at this time is of peculiar inter
est because Of the fact that at a
recent special election the citizens
of CoEdele, under the leadership of
Mayor J. Gordon Jones, voted $50
600 for the extension of the city's
municipal plant to furnish electricity
for public eonsumption in competi-
ton with the local concern, which has
in effect rates slightly higher than
those charged by the privately owned
concern now serving Americus. and
double the present ,Cordele rates,
The announcement of the hydro
electric concern that it would ask a
franchise was viewed in advance with
more or less suspicion by many Cor
dele citizens, being interpreted as d
move of private ownership powers t2
defeat the already voted municipal
ownership. When the officials of the
power concern appeared, however
and laid their proposition before the
officials, it was found attractive and
promptly accepted. 1t was pointed
out later that no favors were granted
the concern other than the right to
enter the city and sell power in COM
nctjti0n with the other concern, and
would result in rates as low and prob
ably lower than the city could hope
to produce power for by steam un-
der the proposed municipal ownership
plan. Mayor Jones gave out the fol
lowing statement following the
granting of the franchise:
I'VE have given to the Georgia
Alabama Utilities the right to con
struct it's lines into Cordelc connect
ing Cordele with the power plant at
Albany. This will give us water rate
for electric current, and if the line
is built, which ] believe will be
done, it will place Cordele on the
basis with Albany, Amcricus, Moul-
tric and other cities being served by
the power company.
eve have made 10 contract nor
bound ourselves in any way whatever
to the Georg;a-AIabama Utilities,
merely invited them to come to our
city by granting the right to come
in and construct its lines for the pur-
pose of selling current to the people
for all purposes. The rate it Of
fcrs looks to be less than half what
we arc now paying"

HAPPY FAMILY
REUNION, TOO.

ALBANY, May 12.-Thcrc is
happy reunion at the home Of Mr..
and Mrs. J. W. Joiner during the
big Confederate reunion.
Mrs. Joiners brother, Mr.. J. A
Reynolds, Of Bridgeport, Ala, whom
She had not seen in more than 90
years and who for 30 years she had
thought to be dead. is her guest for
the reunion. Mr. Reynolds was 50
years old yesterday, and it was a
happy birthday he celebrated with
his sister and her family. During
the war he was member of Cults
Artillery.
Mr.. Joiner also has another guest
who came to his home under similar
circumstances. She is his sister:
Mrs. S. A. Smith, of Paris, Texas,
whom he had not seen in SO years
when last she was visitor hcre. For
a period Of about ten years, during
which he did not hear from her, Mr.;
Joiner thought his sister was dead
and his pleasure upon receiving a
telegram of her expected arrival on
the Seminole last night can well be
imagined. -. a. s.s.=4- -s.s.

TWO COLORED VETS
ATTENDING REUNION.

ALBANY, May 1.-Two visitors
to the reunion who are receiving
hearty welcome are William c.
Smith, coared of Macon, and Willis
Ellison, colored of Buena Vista. both
of whom are accredited delegates
and have been given homes. Will
liam Smith, who calls himself "Doc-
tori Smith. because he has made his
living in Macon for many years bv
selling roots and "yarbs," served
during the Civil War from 1861 to
1868 as cook and servant to Gen
cral G. d. Anderson, of the Sixth
Georgia Regiment.
"Doctor' Smith was 97 wears old
last Christmas night at 4 O'Clock,
according to his statement.
When asked where his white peo-
plc were, he replied: 'Tn Texas,
layin' in de clay" When he express
ed fear that he would starVe be-
cause his people were no longer liv-
ing, and because he is getting too
feeble to work, it was suggested that
he would not be allowed to starve,
someone would help him. He
laughed until his two remaining
teeth shonc like whitencd stumps in
dark field, and said:
"Yassum, but my old stummick
won't wait"
Willis Ellison, who says his age is
S5, served the family of James Eli
son, of Taylor county, and after the
war, when the negroes were given
their freedom, he refused to leave,
and has continued the faithful ser
want of Mrs. Sallie Ellison johnson,
Of Buena Vista, until today. Law
chile, | stole chickens and corn for
my white folks durin' de war, and
| amt never been arrested an put
in jail yit."
Willis expressed his opinion of
those of the colored race who have
sought home in the North, grunting
his contempt.
Heap of EN- gwine up North, but
| amt never lost nothin' up dar
yit," he said.
Willis attends the reunions every
year and always enjoys them, find.
ing kind treatment, and good
home, and often goes home with his
pockets filled with money, given him
by the veterans and others who learn
his story.
