ATLANTATOHOLD
HUGE AUTO SHOW
Auditorium Being Pre'
pared For Event,
March 5-12
ATLANTA, Feb . 14.—The great
mnuicipal auditorium is now being
prepared to house the most elaborate
display of passenger cars, motor
trucks and automotive equipment
ever shown in the south, March 5 to
12, inclusive
Not less than 150 motor cars of 75
different makes will be shown; be
sides an unusual number of accesso
ries of great importance to the in
dustry.
This is spoken of as the most im
portant event of the year in South
ern automotive circles, embracing in
its scope the entire Southeast.
Dealers from seven Southern states
will be on hand to confer with dis
tributors and manufacturers, and the
motoring public of the South will be
well represented.
Several of the exhibits are to be
identical with those shown at* New
York and Chicago, and in point of
general advantage to the trade in
this section this show will have a
remarkable stimulating effect.
One of the most important features
of the show aside from the actual ex
hibit will be the concerts to be ren
dered by the world-famous Kilties
Band during the show.
The Southeastern Automotive
Equipment Jobbers’ Association will
hold its annual meeting in Atlanta
during the week of the show, and the
retail merchants of Atlanta have also
arranged for a spring fashion festival
at the same time.
An optimistic feeling regarding
conditions generally is being ex
pressed in Southern automobile and
commercial circles, and an added
stimulus to spring business is expect
ed as a result of this show.
Glee Club To Appear At
High School Auditorium
It is announced from the head-'
quarters of the Emory University i
Glee club, Atlanta, which will appear
here in concert Tuesday, February
22, that the concert will be held in

SUMTER PEACHES
NOW IN BIOSSOM
Orchards 1 o Be Mass Os
Pink This Week—
Peril In Earliness
The peach trees are blossoming
everywhere in Sumter county. Urban
automobilists of Sunday who had not
bee ni the country for several days,
were aVnazed to see the blossoms
coming out on the peach trees in all
sections. Many trees were half open
ed, with the remainder of the buds ;
ready to pop out, and with a day or
two of bright warm weather such
as is being experienced the orchards
will be masses of pink before the
week is over.
The blossoming of the peach trees ;
is unuusually early this year, being
due to the mild and open winter,
there having been almost no tempera
tures as low as freezing since the
first of the year. The earliness of
the season puts the 1921 peach crop
in real peril, as it it will be the great
est good fortune if a freeze that
will damage or kill the young fruit
does not come between this date and
Easter.
On the other hand, if the mild
weather continues, and the young
fruit remains undamaged, the result
will be an extraordinarilyy early crop
for shipment,,which will mean good
prices and welcome cash rolling into
Sumter county.
That the Sumter peaches are farth
er advanced than thoSe of the Fort
Valley sections is indicated by the
following news dispatch in Monday
morning’s Macon Telegraph:
“It is the general opinion of the
peach grower’s of £nis section that if
a hard freeze swooped down upon
the orchards now there would be no
injury to the 1921 f fruit crop in its
present state.
“The trees have advanced rapidly
the past week but the buds are not
sufficiently full to receive injury
from cold. A real cold spell would
be welcomed here for it would hold
back the young fruit until season
has advanced enough to be sure of
safety from a freeze when the buds
of young peaches would suffer there
from..
“In this immediate section the peo
ple are banking heavily on a good
peach season and are making their
plans accordingly, though it is the
idea of every grower and shopper to
handle his crop much more econom
ically than for the past ten years or
more.
“Much of the 1921 fruit will
doubtless be shipped in baskets and it
is expected that labor will be much
more plentiful and cheaper than has
been the case in recent years.”
Doug says he is the biggest and best
trained police dog in the world He
was a present from Henry D. David
son.
Coppet weighs 105. That beats
Mary’s weight several pound:-.
NEW SLEEPING CAR" BUILT
SO STAR COULD REST
In order that she may have plenty
of vitality for her work and that she
may be comfortable and secure rest
in odd moments, Mary Pickford, the
World’s Sweetheart, who will be
seen in “The Love Light,” at the
Rylander theater today and Tues
day, has had built a portable home.
A small truck was remodeled and so
arranged that one side can be let
down into a comfortable bed, and the
front end right back of the driver’s
seat opened and turned into a small
kitchenette with an oil stove and ev- I
erything complete. Further down is j
a dressing table with make-up equip
ment and wash basin. On the shelf
are books so that while scenes in
which Miss Pickford is not appearing
are taken she can retire to the car
and take a reviving nap or recline
at ease and read. Frequently on
location when the company has work
ed more than 16 or 18 hours, Miss
Pickford spends the night safely j
slumbering in her car
Frances Marion, Miss Pickford’s
director has also had her big run
about fixed so that by adjusting the I
back of the front seats a very com
fortable bed can be made. So many
times Instead of returning home the
two girls have the two. cars placed
side by side and star and director se- j
cure a bit of sleep during the late
hours of the night.

PRESTON
PRESTON, Feb. 14. Lack of
material has stopped the carpenters
f rom work on the High school build
ing here. If they had material it
would require only a few more days
work to get the building finished
and ready for the painters.
The school has some needs, because
the last SIO,OOO worth of bonds that
were voted have not been sold. It
needs more furniture and fixtures
and also a library.
The mid-term examinations will
begin Monday February 14 and 18.
County Superintendent Rees, the
county board of education, and Prof.
R. W. James, principal of Preston
High school,, are hoping to be able;
to get all pupils in the consolidated ■
district in school within the next:
three weeks. There are some pupils
who will find it difficult to attend
school six months this year because
they have failed to enter school be
fore this date. However, the state
of Georgia has a law which requires
each child between 6 and 14 to at-,
tend six months during each year. I
Mr. and Mrs. John Freeman, of
Preston, have returned from a visit

Serious sickness often comes when
you least suspect. You may feel a lit
tle overtired. You haven’t been ex
posed to contagion, yet all of a sud
den you are flat on your back and in
I for a siege of sickness.
i Your blood did not have fighting
qualities. It was weak and thin.
Your vitality and powers of resist
ance were low.
When you overdo you use up en
ergy. Your' blood is driven to do
more than it ean. It becomes clogged
with waste. The waste acts like
poison. Disease germs get in your
blood and dominate.
Don’t let yourself get run down.
Take that good tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
It makes rich, red blood that will re
sist and rout out disease germs.
Pepto-Mangan is widely and hearti
ly endorsed by physicians. It is ef
fective and easy to take. Comes in
either liquid or tablet form. Both
have the same effect.
Sold at any drug store. But be
sure you get the genuine Pepto-Man
gan—"Gude’s.” Ask for it by the
name and be sure the full name,

SURPASSED HIS
EXPECTATIONS
Port Tampa Man Says Tanlac
Has Put Him in the Very Pink
of Condition.
“I am satisfied Tanlac is a great
medicine, for I have given it a fair
trial and it has proved in my case
that it will do the work,” declared
Robert Greene, of Port Tampa, Fla.
“For ten months before I got hold
of Tanlac I had been in an awful
run-down condition. My nerves
seemed to be on edge all the time and
just kept me restless and upset. My
appetite went back on me, my stom
ach wah all out of order and several
times I had acute attacks of indiges
tion, and my liver was sluggish. I
was simply all in and just felt that I
didn’t have any energy left.
“One of my friends recommend
ed Tanlac to me aboilt a month ago,
and it has done everything I expect
ed and even more, and to-day 1 call
myself in the very pink of condition.
I want to be eating all the time now,
and everything my appetite calls fol
digests properly without any bad ef
fect.- at all. My nerves are good and
strong and I sleep sound all night
long. My strength and energy have
come back and I can put in full
time at work now. Tanlac has put
me in fine shape and I believe it wits
do the same for any man that gives it
a fair trial.”
Tanlac is sold in Americus by
Carswell Drug Co., and in Sumter by
Ewing Mercantile Co. adv
