Balkcom’s Drug Store The Store (The Economical Drug Store) SEE IT AT TABB’S MILLINERY READY-TO-WEAR— NEWEST THINGS IN SILKS AND WOOLENS— C L TABB & COMPANY BLAKELY, GEORGIA €ori» Count!) petite 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 nice Adlen, William Cox, Bertram 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. WHERE THE COLLEGE TEAMS PLAY OPENING GAMES.

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.
