MOORE DECLINES TO MANAGE COX’S CAMPAIGN
175 AT OPENING
HERE OF AGGIE
SPECIALCOURSE
Club Boys and Girls Pre
dominate at First
Session
The annual short course .at the
Third District Agricultural and Me
chanical College opened this morninj
with an attendance of approximately
175 boys and girls and farmers, who
are here to benefit by the lectures
which will feature the course.
The students registered with Prof.
J. W. Cole, of the extension bureau
of the federal department of agricul
ture, who is in charge of the program,
and the first lecture began at 9:30
o’clock, Carl Wallace, of the state
college of agriculture lecturing on
“Swine,” and including in his talk
several different phases of swine rais
ing. This is not the first visit Mr.
Wallace has made to Americus and
many Sumter farmers who are at
tending the short course, as well as
practically all of the club boys and
girls know him personally which gave
added interest to his talk.
The second lecture of the morning
session was that of Dr. Wm. B. Brad
ford, who lectured on “Sanitation and
Health,” a subject of great interest,
which he handled most excellently.
The lectures are being delivered in
the auditorium of the new adminis
tration building, which is only par
tially completed, but ample seating
arrangements had been provided and
all who attended were made comfort
able.
Club Members Predominate
Among the attendants at the short
course, the club boys and girls pre
dominate, with probably a majority of
these among the girls.
Miss Jessie Fortson, of Columbus,
came in early this morning, accom
panied by eighteen girls from Colum
bus and the nearby territory. These
girls are interested students, already
enthusiastic over their trip and the
college buildings and grounds, and
the features of the course already
unfolded. Miss Fortson is county
home economics agent for Muscogee
county, and she has had unusal suc
cess among the girls of that section
of the district. Her party is. the larg
est single party yet registered at the
college, though every section of Sum
ter county is well represented, and
the attendance from this county will
largely exceed that of any other rep
resented.
Mrs. W. H. Gurr, county agent ot
Terrell county, will arrive from Daw
son this afternoon bringing with her
a dozen girls who will attend the
course.
A large number of those attending
from Sumter and nearby counties
came in automobiles and will return
each night to their home while prac
tically all of those who come from
other cities will have quarters in the
college dormitories for the period of
the session. Those who occupy the
dormitory rooms will have their meals
served in the dining hall, and in ad
dition, a number who will come and
go each day from their respective
homes will take their noon meal at
the college dining room.
Visitors Eentertained
Mrs. Olin Williams, home econom
ics agent for Sumter county, is as
sisting in entertaining all of the vis
iting club girls, while George O. Mar
shall, county farm demonstration
agent, is helping with the club boys
who are here for the course. Prin
cipal John M. Prance is helping Prof.
Cole in his work, and Prof. E. J. Mc-
Math, county school superintendent,
is taking prominent part in the sev
eral programs which have been ar
ranged. The afternoon session began
this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, and
it was said this morning that a num
ber of the most interesting features
of the course will be discussed to
day. •
Prof. Prance, Prof. Cole, Mr. Mar
shall and Mrs. Williams joined today
in inviting residents of Americus who
are interested in agriculture to visit
the college during the short course
and see the work in progress there.
There will be a number of domes
tic science demonstrations today, to
morrow and next day, which are of
especial interest to Americus house
wives as well as the canning club
girls, and those who are interested
are invited by Mrs. Williams to at
tend all of these. •

CORDELE TEAM
COMESTUESDAY
Americus There Today
In First of Week’s
Series
Determined to put up a good game
and expecting to win, the Americus
baseball team left shortly after noon
today for Cordele where they were
to meet the fast Cordele team in
the first of a six-game series to be
played between the two teams this
week. The same teams will play on
the Americus playground diamond
Tuesday afternoon, starting at 4
o’clock sharp, returning to Cordele
Wednesday, then back to Americus
Thursday, Cordele Friday and Ameri
cus again Saturday. These are the
same teams which met at the play
ground Friday afternoon in one of
the most brilliant games ever seen
here, Americus winning by a score
of 1-0 in the last half of the ninth
inning with two men out.
Announcement was made today by
Jack Holst, chairman of the’ athletic
committee of the Community Serv-i
ice organization, which has charge]
of the athletic field of the play-)
ground, that arrangements had been
made between the committee and the
men managing the baseball team
whereby 25 per cent of the gross re
ceipts from all the games will go
to the playground fund for ‘he pur
chase of equipment and maintenance.
It was explained at the same time
that, while games are to be staged
at freqjuent intervals to which ad
mission will be charged, these are
not meant in any way to supplant
the aim of the playground manage
ment to encourage the playing of
amateur baseball by as many men as
can be interested in it. It was point-!
ed out that the expenses attendant
upon a first class baseball team ne
cessitate an admission charge, and j
that the use of the public playgrounds
for these games is regarded as en
tirely proper and in line with the
public interest as long a. a fair
share of the receipts go to tie bene
fit of the playgrounds, for extending;
its usefulness to the community.
Manager Alton Cogdell today stat
ed that there had been some differ
ences of opinion locally as to whether!
more than one game per week should]
be scheduled here. He said that he 1
was convinced from talking to nu
merous persons that the public
wanted more games than that and
wanted first class baseball at a rea
sonable expense, with no debts pil
ing up, and that it was the plan of
the management to proceed on that]
basis, making the team self-sustain-]
ing.
AMERICUS, GA., MONDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 19, 1920
DENYSCANDALIN
PRINCE’S SUICIDE
Kaiser’s Son Acutely
Embarrassed Finan
cially Friends Say
BERLIN, July 19—(By Associat
ed Press) —Friends of Prince Joach
im of Hohenzollern deny the stories
current in Berlin that his suicide at
Potsdam Sunday was brought about
by scandal. They say the Prince was
acutely embarrassed through restrict
ed finances. The prince was the
youngest son of Emperor William.
Prince Joachim was born Decem
ber 17, 1890, in Berlin. He served in
the lat war on both the Western and
Eastern fronts. In the first year of
the war he was wounded in the fight
ing in France and for a long time it
was feared that he would not recover.
When he did recover he was trans
ferred to the Russian front where he
had several narrow escapes from cap
ture and afterwards suffered a ser
ious illness.
After the defeat of the Germans
there were rumors that Emperor Wil
liam would abdicate in favor of Joa
chim.
Joachim was married in 1916 to
Princess Marie Augustine, of Anhalt,
who then was just 17 year old. A dis
patch from Paris early in the present
year said Joachim had brought a suit
for divorce.
The prince during the war ranked
as a popular hero in Germany. Since
the end of the war little has been
heard of him. One report was to the
effect that he hoped to come to the
United States after the Peace Treaty
was signed.
New Theater To Have
Best Fire Protection
A working party of negroes is en
gaged today in excavating for a new
4-inch water main to be laid on For
rest street from the corner of Lamar
to the alley in the rear of the Ryland
er property. The only water pipe, on
this block at present is a 1 1-4 inch
pipe, which is deemed inadequate to
furnish water for a new fire plug
to be placed in the rear of the new
Rylander theater, which is to have a
maximum of fire protection not only
in the character of its construction,
but in the location of fire plugs and
the placing of a sprinkler system. The
new main will also furnish better
service to water consumers on the
block and later it is planned to ex
tend it through to the Church street
main, which would furnish residents
there with the same service as is fur
nished residents of other thorough
fares having large-size mains. 1
HARDWICK HERE
! TOMORROW FOR
| TALKTOVOTERS
Ex-Senator to be Heard
at 8 P. M. at Court
House
Thomas W. Hardwick, candidate
: for the nomination for governor of
; Georgia against Clifford Walker,
former attorney general, and John
!N. Holder, present speaker of the
house, will address the voters of this
community at ttye court house in
Americus Tuesday evening, July 20,
at 8 o’clock. He will come here by
auto from Richland, where heissched
uled to speak in the afternoon. His
friends stated today that it is desir
ed that as many people hear him as
can possibly be accommodated in the
court room, and every effort will be
made to make the hall as comfortable
jas possible. The entire gallery as
i well as the main floor, will be re
j served for white people.
j It was stated today that no ar
' rangements were being made for a
, reception for Former Senator Hard-
I wick, •while here, because of his late
arrival and his need of rest after
the speaking. The Hardwick meet
ing is being arranged by “friends”
of the ex-senator, no formal organi
zation having been launched here up
to this time, and it was indicated thStt
none likely would be formed.
Plenty of Firework*
Mr. Hardwick appears to be setting
the pace thus far in the gubernatorial
campaign at each speaking date fill
ing his time with plenty of fireworks.
Large crowds are turning out to hear
him, whether they agree with him or
not, because of the entertainment he
affords.
At Soperton Friday he said that if
Cliff Walker and John Holder met
with unfortunate accidents and each
lost his right hand, each -would have
I to get out of the race for governor.”
He said his opponents are “gum
| shoe candidates of the hand shaking
I variety” and that this is a time for a !
I man seeking office in Georgia to |
i stand for something.
“In some of the counties of Gear-1
j gia vote buying is carried on almostj
I openly. I propose to put a stop to it I
j once and forever when I am elected
i governor. I am going to offer a
plan which calls for the use of a strict
j Australian ballot system which will
j not allow any person to approach
! closer than 25 feet to a voter. My
j plan will provide also that no man
I can say how he voted until he has
cast his ballot. This will allow a man
to come out of the! box and tell how
he voted, but no person can prove
how he voted. And whenever you
: can’t prove how a man voted you’ll
| see vote buying stopped, because no
person is going to pay money for
I votes unless he knows they are being
j delivered,” he said,
Recalls Steam Roller
; Sunday at Statesboro a crowd es
i timated at 1,500 by some, though Mr.
i Watson himself placed his estimate
j at 4,000, heard Hardwick ajid Thom-
• as E. Watson speak.
Mr. Hardwick spoke first for one
] hour. Half of that time he devoted
j to the two late conventions, that in
j Atlanta arrd the big steam roller at
I San Francisco. He declared that the
people of Georgia are going to do
some steam rolling at the September
primary, and then the score will be
evened up, he said. He declared that
Clark Howell, the Democratic nation
j al committeeman and Henry Lincoln
Johnson, of the Republican party,
are on an except that Clark
Howell has a white skin and Johnson
has the most sense. He repeatedly de
clared that he is going to sweep the
state from mountain to seashore in
the coming primary.
Mr. Watson followed Mr. Hardwick
without an introduction. After a few
personal remarks, he plunged into
national politics. He, too, found joy
in the belief that the crowd will re
verse the action of the late national
convention and administer a rebuke
to the Clark Howell crowd. As for
himself, he repeated that he is with
the Democratic party to stay. He had
found it necessary to quit the party a
i few times in the past in order to get
i some sense into the party, he said.
I But he thanks God he has lodged it
• there at last. He said his enemies are
: now mad because they don’t know
I whether they want him to run <.r
■ stand. “They know,” he said, “if
i Hardwick and I both run, there wont
! be enough of the old guard left to
j sing the doxology.”
