GOLFLNG NOVELTY
Young Player Turns In Net Score
OF 81 IA On Re-Arranged
Course

Several new names broke into the
list of winners in the cross country
golf event at. the Americus Golf club
Thursday afternoon. The event was
a distinct novelty. The order of the
course was entirely re-arranged,
sending the players for IS holes over
parts of the grounds and for longer
distances than heretofore experience
ed. Many hazards not interfering
with play by the usual route were
encountered, and many players
found themselves frequently in seri-
Gus trouble.
The winner of first prize in the
mems section was Henry Clay who
turned in net score of 81 1-2, a
splendid showing under the condl-
tions. He was given new golf club.
Middleton Mcdonald was second with
a net of 95, receiving prize of four
new golf balls. Sam Coney, with
a net of 90 ga, was third, and re-
ceived three balls. H. 0. Jones was
fourth with 100 IA and w. D. More
land and Arthur Rylander, Jr., tied
for fifth, these three being given two
golf balls each.
In the ladies section, Mrs. W. &.
Turpin was first wit ha net score
of 1872. Mrs. John Council same sec
ond with 122 3-4, Mrs. w. D. More
land was third with 124 and Miss
Mary Glover fourth with 129 IA
The prizes for the ladies were four,
three, two and one golf balls.
These weekly holiday afternoon
events are proving of much interest
to the golfers, furnishing novelty
that adds to the attraction of the
game

KiWANIANS AND LIONS OF
CORDELE IN JOINT PICNIC

CORDELE, July 21.-The joint
picnic given here Thursday by the
local Lions and Kiwanis clubs
proved profitable as well as a
very happy occasion for fully 600
people, made up of the members Vi
the two clubs with their ladies and
about 200 farmers from the various
sections of Crisp county as invited
guests. Practically every organiza-
ton Of the city and county was rep
resented; including the various farm
bureaus and associations, the city
and county boards of education, the
city and county officials, the min
listers and the county and home
demonstration agents.
Thirty minutes of community
songs preceded an ample and appe-
tizing barbecue which was served at
the noon hour.
The afternoon program was lnl-
tiated by Chairman Macarthur of the
Kiwanis club, and master of cere-
monies, with an appropriate word Of
welcome He was followed by Pal
mer Green, of the Lions, with an cx-
preston of welcome. Then follow
ed pointed discussions dealing main
ly with agricultural problems and
progress in this section for the past
year or two by representatives and
officials of the several farm organi-
cations of the county. These were
especially interesting as they includ-
ed many new phases of farming
which are still in an experimental
stage in this county. The occasion
was one that would be hard to dupli-
cate in fine feeling and wholesouled
fellowship and will undoubtedly go
a long way in establishing hearty CO.
operation among all interests in the
future development and progress of
Cordele and Crisp county.

PRESIDENT CALLS HOOPER To WASHINGTON
0WNSTATEMENT
CLEARSCASHIER.
ACCUSED BY Il
Wrennick, Of Ty Ty Bank, Ac.
quilted, Despite Elaborate
Prosecution

Triton, July21. The case against
H. I. Wrenniek, former cashier of
the Bank of Ty Ty, which occupied
two days ip Tiff Superior court, went
to the jury shortly after A o'clock
Thursday afternoon. Two hours
later It returned verdict of not
guilty. Wrennick's wife and three
children were sitting beside him
wnen the verdict was read After
the jury was discharged court ad
journed for the term.
Wrennick was charged with en-
bezzling $4,000 from the bank. The
principal witness for the state was
j. c. Campbell auditor for the Ben
ton system Of banks. He was on the
stand about six hours and underwent
gruelling cross-examnaiton. He
testified that he checked up Wren
nick and found him short over $5,-
600 in various amounts including in
terest, collections unaccounted for,
overdraIts, etc. CampbelPs testi-
mony was supported by that of j.
B. Downs, auditor for the bonding
company.
Wrennick was the only witness in
his own behalf and his statement oc-
cupied about two hours, embracing
nearly $4,000 words. He flatly de-
MED any shortage, said he did not
take a niclllc, and claimed that a
real audit would show that the bank
had saved money under his admin
istration He charged that when he
went into the bank as cashier nc
found it in bad condition; that the
directors were violating the law by
overdrawing their accounts and bor-
rowing money from the bank with
out proper security and that when
he called the attention of Mr.. Ben
ton and later the, state banking de-
partment to this, the directors con-.
spired to oust him. He said he had
tried to build up the town and Tat
any doubtful loans he might have
made were to enable customers to
keep their property from being sold
for taxes. He alleged that the
amount of cash claimed as short was
never in the bank at one time.
In rebuttal several of the diree-
tors of the bank testified as to the
condition of their accounts and Sc
curity for money borrowed, and sew
eral citizens testified as to Wren
nick's acknowledging shortage Of
not more than $1,000. 1t was also
testified that in the meeting of the
board of directors when Wrennick
was discharged he became enraged,
calling them snakes and number OF
other bad names. A total of thirteen
witnesses were sworn in the case be-
sides Wrennick's statement.
