CONTROL IN SOUTH PUT IN HANDS OF WHITES Henry Lincoln Johnson Pleads In Vain To Committee ATLANTA, June 9.—The Wash | ington eorrespiwdent of the Atlanta! Constitution wires the following re-' port from the capital on the meeting j of the Republican National Commit-; tee there yesterday, in which mat- j tens of interest to Georgia were han- ! died: Washington, June B.—The Repub- ; lican party, through its executive ] ami national committees, not only . went on record today as in favor of I white supremacy in party control in the south, but, by the overwhelming majority of 36 to 12, or exactly three to one, so reconstructed delegate rep-; resentations from the South in Re- j publican national conyention that' only those congressional districts! showing tangible Republican organi-I zations, and a potential Republican I vote in national elections, can, in the future, have any representation j whatsoever in the national convention | of the party. This result has been fully antici-! ' pated in these dispatches as the cer tain outcome of the findings of the sub-committee charged with the re sponsibility of reorganizing the Re- ] publican party in the Southeasterly states, it being the undisputed pur-1 pose of the party organization to i place that section absolutely under [ the control of the white electorate, I and thus eliminate, for all time, the I irritating conflict of national con-i ventions between the “black and tan’ and the “lily white” elements. Line Johnson Pleads. The result today, coming as a: whole committee’s action upon a sub-! committee's report, was reached after an impassionable debate, in which j Henry Lincoln Johnson, the negro Re publican national committeeman | from Georgia, led, in which the Geor-' gin negro plead lor a continuation of existing conditions on the basis: of an alleged disfranchisement of ne-| groes in the Southern states. The, sub-committee's report, howfver,• which came to the whole committee• without a dissenting voice, met not on- j ly tlfe approval of practically all of the > states of the North and West, but received the votes also of the national; committeemen from Virginia, North, Garolina and Florida, in the old j South. ! On the basis of the new rule gov-1 erning convention representation! from the South, the total number of ! votes in the national convention is, only nominally cut, and perhaps not, at all. on the basis of the 1922 con-j gressional elections; but congressional, districts which show no regularly or-1 ganized Republican party machinery, ; Jind did not poll a Republican total strength of 2,500 votes or more, in the congressional election preceding shall be denied delegate repress>ita lion in the national convention. I hi> will have the effect, on the basis of I the 1920 national election, of cut-1 ting Georgia’s representation, in the! future national conventions, from 18 | to 10 votes. If, >n the meantime,; however, any of the congressional I districts in Georgia should show more, than 2,500 votes in the 1922 congres- j sional elections, th'e representation. < f aicli districts would be raised from , •zero to one, and the total representa tion in the 1924 national convcnu.m | would be thus correspondingly in-i creased. , The New Order. The new order, in a nutshell, pro- ; vides as follows: That each state shall have four del- i egates at large, and that each con- ! gressional district, .having a republi-j can organization and having polled in the preceding national or congress-j ional election 2,500 or more votes, shall have one national convention delegate and if. having polled 10.000 or more, two delegates; and if. having a representative representation in ! congress, regardless of the number of votes polled, two delegates. On this basis. Georgia in the ’next : republican national convention, as suming that the districts’ vote will not materially change from the dis trict’s vote in 1920. will have ten ■ delegates, including the four del"'-• ■•ates at large in the republican eon-I vention of 1924. instead of 17 dele-1 rates, as in the convention of 1920.1 These will be made up of two each j from the seventh and ninth districts and one each from the fifth and I eighth. The other districts wdl have no delegates. On the same basis. South ( aro lina to the north, will have only the four delegates at large, ami no dele gates from the congressional districts, :ih no district in that, state polled in the 1920 election as many as a fixed unit of 2.500 votes. Heretofore South Carolina has bad eleven in the national convention Mississippi accordingly will have only four votes in the next conven tion. having had twelve heretofore bv voa“on of the fact that no district in Mississippi has rolled" more than 2,500 republican votes.

The attractions signed include pro ductions suitable for every taste— whether pure amusement, musical comedy, light opera, powerful drama, pure comedy or blackface minstrels is preferred. In the latter classification will be| f o.u d a billing that will delight ev i ery lover of blackface, for four of ‘he biggest minstrels in exis'encc ! have been signed to appear here. | The theater will open with Lasses! White’s Miastrels late in September.; and before the season is out Neill, O'Brien’s Minstrels, A. G. Field’s Min-; strels and Coburn’s Minstrels all will be seen here. The Lasses White Minstrel, booked by Erlanger, is de clared to be the largest organiza tion of its kind, excelling the! grandeur of production both Field’s and O’Brien’s show’s. Os high interest will be the an nouncement that John Golden, who sent out “Lightnin'” and “Turn to i the Right,” seen here last season and both wholesome and!; highly satisfac tory productions, will send this sea son his two biggest hits, plays that have both had great runs in New York, “Three Wise Fools” and “Dear Me." In the latter will be. seen Grace Laßue and Hale Hamil ton in person. Extravaganzas Coming. Probably of first interest on the entire list, however, will be the Greenwich Village Follies, one of the great shows of Broadway during the ; past season. Another big production. | rarely seen in cities of this size, will ! be Flo Ziegfeld’s “Passing Show,” X musical extravaganza. Another! big girl and music production book- j ed will be the Marcus Show, one] of the largest and most spectacular attractions seen in this section last season. In musical comedy Ihe season will bring “Mary,” George M. Cohan’s big hit of last season, and “Irene, one of the most tuneful and pleas ing attractions of recent years. In the list of plays will be found ; “Welcome Stranger,” a Sam Harris I success, “Ladies’ Night,” “ The Bat, and “Not Tonight, Josephine.” | For the lovers of light opera, De Kovcn’s old gem, “Robin Hood, foi more than twenty years an American favorite, will be offered by a Ralph Dunbar company. Contracts for these attractions have been signed ami tentative dates arranged, but because these dates may be rearranged later t hey are not. given out. In addition negotiations i are pending for several other good attractions. Saw 31 Producers “On my trip to New York, 1 had; personal conferences with 31 of the; world’s biggest Jheatrical and motion ; picture producers,” said Mr. hylan der. “Not only was I able to -ign ■ up the best road productions coming I South, but was assured that we would , get what other productions be sent in this direction later.. ihe ; producers are facing problems whicn will keep many big plays ofT the roa< this year. Among these problem.-; may be mentioned almost prohibitive railroad charges for equipment and | people, and trouble with the theatri cal workers’ union. “In meeting the motion picture | producers I was able to arrange for , showing in Americus shortly a num- I ber of the biggest pictures whicn] otherwise through the regular chan- j nels we could not have gotten for ; months. There are many great pic-' tures coming, and we are under con tract for the best of them while they I are new and fresh. Among them is a D. W.

It was charged by G. F.

F. Grubbs of the old Country Cub property of ninety acres, including the club house al ready built, just outside the city lim its of Americus to the South on Lee street. Possession is to be given by Dr. Gk'ubbs at any agreed time be fore September 1. but possession of the ground will be available at once, and it is planned to proceed within a very short time with the laying out and putting into first class condition of a golf links. Most of the land is already in berniuda turf and can bu easily and quickly converted into * splendid golf course, it is said. The organization, which is a temp orary affair, pending the formal or ganization meeting of charter mem bers, is headed by the following of ficers: President, George R. Ellis; vice-president, W. Caye, Jr.; sec retary, Lovelace Eve;, treasurer, J. Lewis Ellis; directors, Frank Har rold. W. M. Jones, Frank Lanier. It was stated by men participating ; in the preliminary organization that i the new Country dull is to be a truly ' high class affair, with the strictest • scrutiny of every person invited to I join with a view to the utmost safe ; ty and security of association- at all times for other persons in the fam ilies of the members who will have ac cesff to and use the club facilities The membership also will be strictly limited in number, and will be by invitation. The personnel will in clude .business and professional men of the community—its most repre sentative citizens. To Incorporate. The temporary organization will proceed to incorpoi»te as quickly as papers can be drawn and legal notice by publication given. In the meantime steps will be taken to perfect the permanent organization, fix initia tion fees and dyes and immediately following begin converting the prop erty into a modern country club. The option given by Dr. Grubbs, who acquired the property a few i years ago when the old organization disintegrated, provides for a lease for five years at a monthly rental of slob, with the right to purchase lat any time within the period at ( I 513,000. This is considered an ex- I ellent deal by the officers of the ■flub, as the original investment of Dr. Grubbs, plus cash improvements made, total:, practically that figure. Dr. Grubbs was thanked for his lib erality in dealing witff the organiza tion. Several thousand dollars will bo -pent at the outset in developing the nronerty—constructing the golf links, putting the club house in condition and furnishing it, building' baths and Probably a pool, etc. It is planned I make the place an ideal Country club one which will not only be comfortable and attractive to the members, but be a credit to Americus and an ad vert itcmenl. of the highest type in the eyes cf important visitors from else where, who would naturally be en tertained frequently there while visit ! ing here. Started by Rector. The eount.rj club and golf course • idea, which has been present, but dor mant in the minds of many men here 1 for a long time, took on activity as a result of the sermon of Rev. J. B. I Lawrence, rector of Calvary chuheh, • a week ago last Sunday, in which he dwelt, upon the need for such an instiuticn here —an institution of a high type and properly managed for the physical well-being of many men now deprived of proper recrea tion. as well as for the development cf community spirit through outdoor play. The idea was immediately giv en wide endorsement by other minis ters and citizens generally, amon&tho boosters being Rev. Guyton Fisher, of the First Methodist church, who stated from the pulpit last Sunday that he hoped Mr. Lawrence’s sug gestion would bear fruit. Discus- ( sions by leading citizens resulted in an informal conference being ar ranged and the organization effected. A proposed membership list of about 50 has already been made up and _is being' enlarged by a secret commit tee, known only to President Ellis.
