Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts —“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead.”
BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING SEPT. 25, 1924
FOOTBALL SEASON TO
OPENJOMORROW
Blakely Hi to Pjay Opening
Game in Dothan.
The Blakely High School eleven
opens the 1924 football season in Do
than tomorrow (Friday), when they
„play the fast Dothan High School
team.
The Blakely squad will consist of
1C boys and the coach and perhaps
more if there be enough cars availa
ble. There will be a circus in Do
than Friday night.
It will be remembered that Dothan
Hi was the first team the Blakely
boys tackled when they started on
the football gridiron in 1921. The
Alabama boys promptly defeated
Blakely’s inexperienced team to the
tune of 48-0.
This year the Blakely "Bob Cats”
are going back across the river to
have another try at that Dothan
bunch, and there may be a different
story. Certain it is that the Blue
and Gold aggregation representing
the local school have more material,
better equipment and considerably
more experience than the green bunch
that went up against Dothan three
years ago. On the other hand, the
Dothan boys claim to have one of
the best teams ever put out by that
institution. They are really taking
on Blakely Hi as a practice”' game,
and the local boys are determined
that at least they are going to get
some good practice.
It is hoped that a goodly number
i of Blakelv people will go to Dothan
I and help back up our boys.
Most of the tie*' Toofba'li togs Have
arrived and have been issued to the
boys, and Blakely Hi now has one
of the best equipped teams in
Southwest Georgia. They are still
lacking some money to pay for this.
The new goods, together ivith the
old suits, has enabled the Blakely
High School Athletic Association to
issue uniforms and equipment to
some 30 or more boys, as follows:
Chas. Tarver, Bob Bush, Tom How
ell, Ralph Hutchins, Billy Westbrook,
J. C. Lovless, Jr., Lamar Toole,
Chas. Allen, Phil Yarbrough, Wil
liam Barksdale, William Allen, Ar
nold Cohen, Norman Boyett, Ber

COTTON CROP CONDITION
REPORT CAUSES JUMP
OF 200 POINTS TUESDAY I
The condition of the cotton crop
on September lGth was placed at
55.4 by the U. S. Department of.
Agriculture, according to the Gov- |
eminent report issued last Tuesday.
The estimated yield was placed at
12,590,000 bales.
The condition report was much
lower than expected and sensational
advances in prices were recorded in
the New York and New Orleans cot
ton exchanges. Both exciianges re
ported jumps of 180 to 200 points.
The condition of the - cotton crop
in Georgia was placed at 59 per cent
and an estimated yield of 1,198,000
bales. Ginnings prior to September
10th were given as 288,131 bales.
Tarver, Cal Johnson, Eugene Green,
Wade Brunson, Jr., Homer Brunson,
Willie Jim Hammaclt, Louie McLeod,
Elvin Hamilton, Jr., Marcus Battle,
Bill Grist, Henry Sherman, Maynard
Battle and Edwin Barham, while
Joe Vinson, Jr., and Raymond Sin
gletary, Jr., have their own equip
ment.
With this bunch of boys there are
almost three teams out on the campus
every afternoon and there have
been some good scrimmages.
The Blue and Gold squad lost the
services of Homer Bush, veteran
centre, w r ho accepted a position in
Columbus. Emmett Williams and
Harvey Ricks will not be able to
play, either. In the Dothan game
Tom Howell, star quarterback of
former years, will probably not play
due to a bruised nose and cheek.
The probable line-up for Blakely
Hi in the Dothan game will be:
■Left End —Cox.
Left Tackle —Allen, W.
Left Guard —Barksdale.
Centre —Westbrook.
Right Guard —Allen, C.
Right Tackle —Loyless.
Right End—Toole.
Quanterbackf— Boyett.
Left Half Back —Tarver.
Right Half Back —Bush.
Full Back—Hutchins.

■COX’S NOMINATION
FORMALLY RATIFIED
New Executive Committee for
Second District Named.
Judge E. E. Cox, of Camilla, the
successful candidate for Congress in
the recent primary, was formally
nominated at a convention held in
Albany Saturday, the body of dele
gates being composed of both men
and women.
J. .1. Hill, of Pelham, life long
friend of the nominee, placed Judge
Cox in nomination in a speech of
eloquence, paying great tribute to
the Congressman-elect. Judge J. R.
Pottle, of Albany, a friend of the
nominee for many years, made the
seconding speech.
A committee was appointed to in
vite Judge Cox to the convention
floor, following the organization of
the body. Chairman S. B. Lippitt no
tified Judge Cox of the convention’s
action and extended him the privi
lege of the floor. A prolonged dem
onstration greeted the nominee when
he entered the room which lasted
for several minutes. Judge Cox
expressed his appreciation of the
kind things which he said he under
stood had been said about him and
his obligation to the people for the
honor conferred him. In his short
speech of acceptance, Judge Cox
praised the Democratic party as a
“party of human rights,” and ac
cepted the platform of the New
York as his own political chart. He
pleaded for a broader foreign policy
on the part of the United States,
placed particular stress on the ne
cessity for farm legislation that will
put farmers on an equal basis with
other organized groups, and declared
for a return of constitutional govern
ment and against the usurpation of
state’s rights. He was roundly ap
plauded at the conclusion of his
speech of acceptance.
Before Judge Cox’s formal nomi
nation, the vote of the different
counties was read and consolidated,
showing that Judge Cox received 9,177
votes to 5,947 for Congressman Park,
or a majority of 3,230 for Judge Cox.
A Democratic Executive Committee
to serve for the next two years was
elected, as follows:
Baker County —R. J. Griffin, New
ton.
Calhoun County —R. R. Powell, Ar
lington. ;

man of the committee and Dan L.
Gibson was again elected secretary.

completed, Judge Cox took the dele
gates and other convention visitors
to the New Albany Hotel, where
they were his guests at luncheon.

ing and A. T. Fleming represented
