‘TELL WORLD’
TO BE SLOGAN
OF FIRST SALE
Big Towns And By-Ways To
Know Os Americus’ ‘Golden
Rule’ Event
AD CLUB MEMBERSHIP
NOW BETWEEN 70 AND 75
Biggest Thing Merchants Here
Haye Ever Done, Says
Carr Glover
‘‘ln this first sale, let’s tell the
world,” President Arhtur Mize said
to the Americus Advertising club
at the court house Tuesday after
noon. ' “We are going into the high
ways and hedges; the bigger towns
and the cross roads, and let them all
know of the Golden Rule sale here
the first Monday in November.” I
\ Something like 30 of the members i
of the c’lub were present to hear re- ■
ports from the officers and commit
tees. W. J. Josey, chairman of the
auction committee, announced that:
the great farmers auction would be j
held at 11 o’clock the day of the sale. I
"We wili use the streets around the
court house and the sidewalks, if
necessary,” Mr. Josey said. “We will j
have a professional auctioneer on the I
job.”
President Arthur Mize announced i
that the membership of the club had I
reached between 70 and 75, a result!
that was surprising and pleasing to ’
the members present.
“We want every business man in ]
Americus to come in with us,“ Mr. i
Mize said. “Our committees have ]
tried to see every one and if there I
are those who have not been seen, ]
they should come to me or the secre-j
It try, A. R. Royal. We want them!
• Vi. ’
The membership instructed the i
publicity committee to go the limit j
in advertising the first sale. It was
decided to put out something like
20,000 circulars, if that many were
needed, to use a double page adver
tisement in the local paper and a se-1
lected mailing list of 3500 names will 1
be circularized by mail. The mem- !
bers were told by Mr. Mize that the I
total advertising cost per individual [
would be about $5.00, he assuming i
that there will be 40 merchants par- I
ticipating in the Golden Rule Sale. |
It was suggested that a meeting!
of all the members participating in •
the sale, v i’.h their clerks he held
a day or two before the sale. “It
is vitally important that every clerk
in every store know jnsi what the
sale is to be—that it is a sale conduct
ed on and by the Golden Rule,” W. E.
Taylor said Mr Mize agree that
some such should be held,
and has taken that under gdvisement.
“To my mind this is the biggest
thing the Americus merchants have
ever done,” Carr Glover said. “I be- !
lieve we are not reaching out very
much farther than five miles in our
trade radius, whereas we should go
30 to 50. This sale is going to du |
for Americus what nothing else
could.”
SC. GEORGIA TOBACCO
CROP IS FAR SHORT
TIFTON, Oct. 19.—The big plant
of the Imperial Tobacco company at
Tifton has finished work for the sea
son and only an office force is in
charge. This plant, 600x200 feet
floor space, was completed last year
largely by local capital, and leased
the Imperial Tobacco company, of
Great Britain and Ireland , which
equipped it with machinery. Here
all the tobacco bought by this com
pany in Georgia is re-dried and
stemmed and shipped direct from
here td Great Britaih. The tobacco
is packed in hogsheads weighing ap
proximately 1,000 pounds each, af
ter the moisture has been reduced
io 1,9 per cent to meet the require
ments of the British law.
The short tobacco crop in South
jFeuigia this year is indicated by the
W, ct that it has been Worked up al
r ady, while last year the plant was
in operation urttil early in Decem
ber, and quite a lot of tobacco was
hipped without stemming and re
drying, the local plant being unable
to handle all of it. The Imperial
Lu pie bought tie bulk of tobacco
> u the South Georgia market but fell
more than 2,()0U,0J0 pounds short of
F t year’s purchases.

REUNION CROWDS
ALL TO BE HOME
BEFORE STRIKE
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 19.
I The only thing that is worrying the
; officials of the Confederate reun
] ion committee now is the possi-
I bility of a railroad strike on the
I evening of October 30, and even
that should not prevent the at
tendance of all people in the Con
federate zone of the country upon
| the reunion. All of the commit-
I tee’s preparations to entertain a
j large crpwd of people are
I completed, and the hope is enter
tained that fear of a railway strike
will not deter any who have made
their arrangements to be in Chat
tanooga upon the reunion occas
ion. The committee, in the firs*
instance, does not believe there
will be a strike, out even if there
is every visitor can leave Chat
tanooga as late as October 28, the
day after the reunion closes, and
reach their homes before the strike
begins.

COUNTY SCHOOL I
CLUBS TO MAKE
EXHIBITS HERE
Cockerel Sale To Feature Show
Os Pig, Poultry And Can
ning Ciubs
A sale of pure bred cokerels will
feature the annual exhibition of poul
try, pig and canning club boys and
girls to be held here Saturday on the
Vacant lot adjoining the Planters I
Bank building. The usual canning,
pig and poultry and other club dis
plays will be made, and prizes award
ed. As heretofore prize-winnig dis
plays, or parts threof, will be sent
to the Macon fair.
About 15 to 2l) club pigs will be
shown under he direction of Coun
ty Agent Marshall. One hundred and
fifty pure bred cockerels, which will
be shown by club members under the ;
direction of M rs. Olin Williams, coun- j
ty demonstrator, will be sold that 1
day. The purpose in disposing of
these young cockerels is to encourage
the production of pure bred poultry
in Sumter county and to bring about
the gradual extinction of all mixed
flocks.
Besides disposing of these cocker- ]
els, Mrs. Williams announces that ar
rangements have been made for the •
purchase of all poultry brought, to !
the exhibition by growers. These
will be purchased at the current pre
vailing price, a bid for 200 hens and
roosters at 24 cents a pound having
already been received. In order to
secure this price, however, it will
be necessary to provide the whole
number of fowls ordered.
Growers who desire to erchange
mixed bred or common barnyard
fowls for pure bred stock will be
accommodated. The basis of ex
change will be at the pound rate for
barnyard fowls, while pure bred
Stock, of course, will bring a higher
price.
Stands and pens are being erected
for displaying the exhibits to be
brought to the exhibition. A tent
has been provided for the purpose
of displaying the canning club prod
ucts in the most advantageous man
ner. Later a number of the prod
ucts will be offere dfor sale to the
public.
Splendid co-operation has been
given by all the business houses in
Americus towards effecting the suc
cess of the movement.
