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.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. 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. FILMOGRAMS.

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.
