the Georgia Tuberculosis Association
in cooperation with the State Board
of Health and the Sanatorium at
Alto, has been conducting free clin
•ics at points over the entire state
for examining those with suspicious
signs who will come to the clinic.
The state has been divided into six
districts and plans are to place a
nurse in each to devote 'her entire
time to finding new cases in the ear
ly stages and helping families of
cases to avoid the spreading of tu
berculosis among themselves as soon
as funds are available for this work.

Library Offer
; Is Withdrawn
>
Messrs. R. T. and G. O. Persons
this week addressed a communication
to the city council, the Board of Edu
cation and the County Commission
l ers in which they stated that the offer
to build and equip'a modern library
for Monroe county had been with
drawn. The reason given for this
action was that so little interest had
been manifested in connection with
the proposition that they did not feel
justified in carrying out the plans
which they had' formed.
This action brought consternation
to the many friends of the library
as they realized that the future ex
pansion and usefulness of the insti
tution would thus be curtailed and
that an investment of between $50,-
000 and $75,000 would be lost to a
useful public enterprise of the coun
ty. A number of the friends of the
library, realizing that the public in
general had been highly pleased with
the offer and had taken it for grant
ed that it would be gladly accepted,
immediately circulated a petition
urging that the withdrawal of the
offer be reconsidered. The petition
was signed by practically every citi
zen approached and has been pre
sented to Mr. R. T. Persons and
Judge G. O. Persons for their consid
eration.
FORSYTH, MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 20, 1930.
MECHANICAL BOLL
PICKER SUCCESSFUL
UNEMPLOYMENT DETERS OK
LAHOMA INVENTOR FROM
PLACING SAVER OF LABOR IN
COTTON FIELDS ON MARKET-
PERRY, Okla.—Here is something
to think about in these days of un
employment :
Ed J. Coyle of Perry is authority
for the statement that the mechani- •
cal cotton picker experimented with
two years ago in the cotton fields
near Lone Wolf, Kiowa county, has
been perfected, and fear alone de- :
ters the manufacturing company.
from placing the labor-saving ma
chine on the market.
Coyle is not a labor agitator, or a
dreamer, or an alarmist. ’ He is a !
cotton gin operator, his company ,
having three gins in Noble county— '
one at Perry, one at Marland and
one at Morrison. The harvester com- ;
pany, now that it has perfected the
mechanical man, does not know what
to do with it. It fears that it has
created a Frankenstein monster, '
which if liberated in the cotton fields <
will devour all connected with it.
When the machine was being test- i
ed for faults two years ago, in a
large cotton field near Lone Wolf, a
large erew of cotton pickers, princi
pally Negroes, suspended work on the '
far side of the field and walked
across the rows to where the machine
was picking at the rate of three bales
of cotton daily. One thoughtful Ne
gro asked:
“What are poor people going to
do? The white harvest hands have
been driven from the wheat fields by
the combine, and now comes a ma
chine to drive colored people from
|he cotton fields.’’
Cpyle, while talking about the me
chanical cotton picker, said: “The
defects have been removed, and the
machine is a ssuccessful in picking
cotton as the combine is in harvest
ing wheat. The company is afraid
to market them, for fear of their be
ing dynamited.”
Obviously, a time when cotton
fields afford nearly the only remain
ing work for unemployed, is an un
opportune time in which to launch a
mechanical cotton picker that does
the work of scores of human hands,
and the machine may not be placed
on the market for several years. Its
appearance probably will not be risk
ed until a year in which an enormous
cotton crop is raised in the United
States.
FORSYTH MEETS SPALDING
HIGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON
The boys down at Mary Persons
High school are going through some
strenuous practices in preparation
for the game Friday with the Spald
ing County High of Griffin. This
promises to be an even battle, and
should prove interesting to the clos
ing whistle.
The local boys are playing with a
changed line-up. The Abernathy
brothers, William and Robert, are
now ball carriers. It takes lots to
stop these boys.
With Joe Dorner, Dan Driskell,
Robert an<] William Abernathy in the
backfield, the team is going to cross
the opponents’ goal line.
Don’t miss the opportunity of see
ing these boys strut their stuff.
The Hessian fly rates as one of the
world’s most expensive insects, for it
has cost the United States as much
as $100,000,000 in a single year.

‘AUNT LUCIA’ MAKES
BIG HIT IN FORSYTH
FLAPPER CHORUS GETS BIG
APPLAUSE. DENNIS EXCEL
LENT IN LEADING ROLE. AT
TENDANCE IS LARGE.
Two large audiences that rocked
and roared with laughter greeted the
I cast on Monday and Tuesday nights
when “Aunt Lucia” was presented by
• local talent at the high school audi
torium. In spite of the rain and
slush, the crowds were good and the
play was a howling success.
| Harvey Dennis in his role of “Aunt
. Lucia” was perfect. In fact, the
entire cast put over a performance
that has never been excelled in For
syth.
Evelyn Anderson took the part of
.the charming niece of “Aunt Lucia”
and Irma James played the part of
her chum. Cham Zellner and Bubber
; Rudisill played the parts of the two
love-sick college boys and this quar
: tet displayed rare talent which
charmed the audience. Bill Freeman
। and Dr. William Taylor in their roles
।of the big Butter and Egg Man and
I Collins, the widower, were a treat,
; and gave the audience lots of good
laughs. Dr. Seamore and Mrs. Sea
more, played by J. H. Clarke and Mrs.
Horace Newton, had all the dignity
1 necessary for a college president and
’ his wife. Charlie Heard, as the eccen
> trie old bachelor, and Mrs. H. F.
Kurtz, as the love-sick old maid, play
ed their parts well. Margaret Elrod,
Jerry’s sweetheart, gave her unfor
tunate boy friend some perplexing
moments which he could do nothing
about.
The other characters were Hill
Searcy, Harry Willingham, Lyle Hol
lis, Mobley Newton, Jim Moore and
Carlton Mobley, and each of these
played his part in an excellent man
ner.
The Baby Pageant, featuring Mrs.
L. M. Polhill, opened the show and
delighted the audience. The girls’
choruses were unusually good, full of
rythm, smiles and pep. The college
glee club started the show off with a
real bang and had everybody in high
spirits right away.
Too much cannot be said of the
Flapper Chorus. This vision of fair
I women and exhibition of divine beau
ty brought down the house and
brought forth a storm of laughter
and applause.
Those who witnessed the presenta
tion of this comedy drama received
। an unusually ample return for their
I money and the public is indebted to
; the Forsyth Woman’s Club which
I sponsored the play and to the effi
cient and pleasing director, Miss Jen
nie Aiken, whose efforts resulted in
the players appearing at their best.
HIGH SCHOOL MAY GET
BUILDING FOR GYMNASIUM
The County Board of Education
has offered some of the vacated
school buildings in the county as
building material for a basket ball
court and gymnasium.
Prof. Crosby has been investigat
ing what it will cost to build the of- !
ficial size court. He learns that with ■
the floor and walls furnished, it can I
be constructed for about five hun
dred dollars.
Although it is hard times, the boys
and girls need a place for indoor
sports during the winter months. In
that it can be constructed so cheaply
at this time, it is hoped that the sup
port of all in its furherance can be
I enlisted.
HIGHWAY TRUCKS MUST BE
LIGHTED ON FOUR CORNERS
ATLANTA, Ga.—A regulation has
been issued by the Public Service
Commission requiring large freight
trucks—those of great width and so
high they barely come within the law
limiting to 12 feet—to be immediate
ly equipped with one light on each
of the four corners, otherwise they
are not permitted to use the high
way at night.
There has lately been a great deal
of complaint about the danger on
the highways by trucks of such width
that more than half the road is taken
up, and so high it is impossible to
distinguish even the reflection of ap
proaching cars.
Another problem now before the
state regulatory board is the matter
of the long carrying equipment em
ployed by automobile manufacturers,
trailers, on which four automobiles
are hauled. In respect to these, the
complaint touches more especially
the matter of meeting on curves,
where it is impossible for an ap
proaching car to pass the unusually
long equipment which requires the
whole width of the road to make a
turn on curves.
