due to the fact that we have had no
leadership, no concerted action.
“Os course, I favor this movement,
but I can’t get away from the idea
that if the city looked at this thing
in the proper light it would do some
thing along this line. If Americus
is to be a city it must have a play
ground and an auditorium; we can t
j be what we ought to be without both.
I We ought to acquire the grounds
I close in before it is too late. BNit the
urgency of the matter has not been
brought to the attention of the peo.
pie, else there would have been ac
tion long ago.
“There is another phase of this
matter that I want to mention in this
connection. It is the plan for rais
ing the money. • Somehow, I for one
can’t reconcile the idea of putting Tt ,
on an investment basis. What I per
sonally put into this glaygroundj
j movement I want to give outright? j
I and I believe that will be the senti
-1 ment of a great many other people.
And I would like to see the people
given a chance to give to it before
the stock selling plan was adopted.”
“I believe that Colonel Ellis reach
ed the hearts of us all,” said Supt. .
Mathis. "He has voiced my senti
ments exactly. I was waiting for
someone to make this suggestion. If
we survive the present economic con
flict now going on we are going to
be living in a better world than we
have known heretofore. In the great
war we learned to serve; we are go
ing to be willing more than ever now
to do something for the other fellow,
to give up something foj the other
fellow, and taste of the joy of put-1
ting on foot the things such as this ■
playground movement.” . ;
“These talks have been an inspira
tion,” began Mr. Cargill, as Mr. Ma
this concluded, “and have impressed
me so much that I have changed my
plans, advanced at the beginning of
this meeting. I had been reluctant ■
to suggest putting this movement on |
the stock selling basis, but the seem- ■
ing impracticability of any other,
idea influenced me to suggest it as !
the most likely successful way. lam
still afraid the contribution plan may
not succeed, but it would be so much
the better way that I would like tq
see it thoroughly tried first, and pro
pose that we postpone all efforts to
raise money for this movement until
the meeting Monday.”
The meeting then voted to call a
mass meeting of all the members of
the represented organizations, and all
other citizens interested in the play
gound movement, for Monday after
noon at 4 o’clock at the Carnegie
library for permanent organization.
The chairman was also instructed to
request all the ministers of the city
to announce the meeting from the
pulpits Sunday.

Another Sweet Potato

It looks as though Officer John
Bragg had started something of a
sweet potato controversy again. Fol
lowing his announcement a few days
ago of having found a potato weigh
ing 2 1-2 pounds, the slip of which
j was set out June 23, N. A. Waddle
' comes forward with a potato weighing
6 1-2 pounds, the plant of which wa=
sent out between June 1 and 15. The
6 1-2 r pounder was grown on a For
. rest street lot within 75 yards of the
! Bragg patch. Both potatoes are on
I exhibition at the chamber of com

Bartow Nix Is Hanged
After 2 Respites In Day
ATLANTA, Nov. B.—Bartow Nix,
white, ended at 1:27 o’clock yester
day an unsuccessful fight to escape
the gallows that probably outdis
tances any race with life ever made i
in Georgia.
Twice yesterday, when the gallows |
already had been prepared, he was'
respited for a couple of hours, but
Governor Dorsey declined to further
interfere with the sentence of the
court and the sheriff of Muscogee
county was told to proceed with the ;
execution.
Nix has been feigning insanity so ;
successfully that he came very near
putting it over on at least one of the
best mental experts in the state.
Other experts, however, who'had also
examined Nix, were convinced Nix
was not insane, and on their state
ment the governor gave the final
word shortly after 1 o’clock yester
day afternoon.
Nix was convicted in connection
with the killing of West Everidge
and C. I. Alexander in Muscogee
county some months ago. It was set,
up during the trial that he had pre-
1 viously killed three other men.
Albert Nix, a cousin of Bartow
Nix, is now serving a twenty-year
term in the pen for his part in the
Muscogee county tragedy.
