McDowell, nianag, I 01 the Salt I
packing plant in Moultrie. The e
figutes do not include the large sum
<e;p< n<letl tor cattle.
Os the $1,800,000 well over a mil
linn of it went to the hog growers
in Lie Moultrit territory—a radius of
50 miles. The seasort has been on<
of the most successful the packing
house has had since it was opened. It
followed on the heels of the worst ,
year in its history, less than 100,000
head being killed at tin packing
house in the fall of 1920 and the
Spring of 1921. Hog shipments by
(Jhfistmas this .year were greater
than they were during the entire pre
vious season and receipts now are
running close to 1,000 head of hog
a week.
The poor season in 1920 and the
spring of 1921 is attributed largely:
to the turning of farmers t> cotton
following the sensational advance tn
the price which sent the staple around
4/1 cents a pound. Many of the big
livestock men in South Georgia prac
tically quit the game, but after the
sharp break in the market mo t of .
them went back to hog raising. The
result was that there was almost a
hundred per cent increase in the hog i
crop last year ovpr the year before.'!
It is believed here by close students i
of conditions out on the farms that
more hogs will be grown in South
west Georgia in 1922 than have b; on ,
raised in on year.
There also has been a marked ini
p.rovemeitt. tn the quality of hog
grown. Many farmers are taking
peanut fed pigs and finishing them
on corn ’and tankage and having ‘
them tested after they are slaughter
cd. The hogs found to kill hard
bring a premium of one cent a
pound.

senate completed its part of the arm, :
conference Thursday giving its ap
proval to the last two treaties of |
the group of seven submitted to it
for ratification. \
On the final ratification roll calls |
the affirmative expression of senate '
opinion Was all but unanimous. Not
a single vote was cast against the:
Ear Eastern treaty, drawn to guar-j
antee a new hill of right to China,;

when the constitutional “advice and
consent” was given to the pact for
rex i-ion of the Chinese tariff. The I
totals, respectively, were (16 to (I !
and 58 to 1.
The momentum with which the rat- :
ificatidn program was swept, to a
conclusion exceeded the expectations,
of the administration leaders, who
had Pot'hoped to end the debate be
fore tomorrow night. By the day’s
nttomplishmcnt. the senate set a new
record for action, four, far-reaehim,
international covenants having been

BIG ADVERTISING
FOR GOLDEN RULE
Personal Distribution Os Circu-.
lars To Bui’d List Added To
Mail Method
The largest circular list yet put
out for a Golden Rule sale, except
for the first one, and the only one
which has had personal distribution
has just been sent out for next Tues
day's sale in Americus.
Realizing that the present mailing
list has been inadequate, and that, the
negroes as well as the whites are de
sired as traders on these occasions,
several cars with two mean each, rep
resenting the Americus Ad club, cov
ered a large part of Sumter county
house by house last Monday, despite
the rain, delivering circulars and
bringing back new names for the
mailing list. .A prize of $25 was of
fered to the car bringing back the
most names, ami the prize was won
by H. D. Hansford, of Churchwell's,
who brought in 597 names and ad
dresses. W. O. Martin, of Bragg's
market, was second with 546 names.
All the cars delivered personal invi
tations to the people they saw to
attend the Golden Rule sale and ball
game, and they reported great inter
est everywhere.
in addition to this distribution, the
sale sheets have gone out to all the
surrounding territory and the last
will be in the rural mail boxes by
Saturday afternoon. Further word
of the big day here is being spread
through practically all of the daily
and weekly newspapers south of Ma
con within 150 miles of Americus.

A. B. & A. LINE NOT
HEADED FOR JUNK
Foreclosure Proceedings Only
Routine Proceedure in Receiv
ership, Says Bugg
ATLANTA, March 30.—The At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail- |
way will not he “junked.”
It will not change owners, at least |
any time soon.
Foreclosure proceedings started by |
the bond holders are simply a routine
procedure in the progress of receiv- I
< r.: hip proceedings filed a year ago. :
In other words, trustees for the
bond holders who had not appeared ’
before, are made a party to the re
. civership already in operation.
Colonel B. L. Bugg, receiver and
former president, will continue to i
operate the road, and trains will run
and schedules will be maintained just
a- they have always been handled.
Developer of Section.
Business is picking up on the A., B. I
& A. railroad, just as it is on many i
other Southern lines, and who knows, I
but in time, this railroad —running ;
through the richest agricultural sec
tion of the state will become one j
of the qy>.- I important and valuable ■
short line railroads in the Southern':
■Late:.'.’ Certainly, as ha - been shown I
-iuce the load was built, it is a large
contributing factor to the agricul
tural development of the state, and |
citizens living along the line who
point, to it. as a big asset in state'
progress, and co-operating with the j
present management in its continued •
development. ,
“We regard the A., B. A A. rail-1
way as a necessary part of South :
Georgia,” declared a prominent mer-,
chant and farmer in one of the small
towns through which the railroad j
runs. “Whether the road ever makes •
any big money or not, it is, so to I
peak, a part of us, and it must run, I
regardless of who owns it and what I
their ultimate plans may be.”
No Change in Management.
Colonel B. L. Bugg, who recently
announced that the policy of the
road remained unchanged, has issued
a similar statement to the officers !
and employees of the system, Col- :
one) Bugg said:
“The bills filed in the United '
States court in Atlanta by the Old I
Colony Trust company, trustee, and I.
'h" Columbia Trust company, trustee, i
only a routine procedure in the |
' regre-s of the receivership proceed- !
:n;rs filed a year ago.
“Until recently the trustees sor 1
he bondholders had nev r entered i
my appearance in the proceedings, i
By order of the court they are now ,
made a party to flic proceedings and
the coses coir olidated with original i
ipiieetiim filed by the Birmingham p
I’rust and Savings company.
“By decree of the court: the pres- I
ent receivership is extended to the i
■opsolidated cause. The operation of |
lie prop, rty will continue as hereto- j
lore under the present, receivership. ’ :

HARRY HEILMAN
Baseball critics, bareliaii managers
and baseball players said that no one >
would ever again pull what the I
swarthy Larry Lajois did. The
Frenchman led the American league
in batting in 1905. The Frenchman
is a right-handed batsman, rather he
was. He was a great batsman. Since
1905 the batting crown has annual
ly descended upon a left-hander, un
til last year a right-Ihander once
more ascended the throne of swat.
The right-hander was Harry Heilman,
the powerful right fielder of the De
limit team whose hatting average of
.394 was the best produced in 1922.
He will play in Americus next Tues
day when DctrpA Vied Re . I'.ecuer i
come.

state officers were paid to do this
inspection work, and that samples
of milk could be sent to Atlanta at
any time for free testing. Mr. Mar
shall replied that while this was true,
there would be no one here to ini
tiate such inspections. “We could
do it, but we haven't been doing
it and we won't do it,” said he.
After some discussion in which
much interest was shown, the whole
matter was referred to the Xclub’s
public welfare committee with in
structions to take it to the mayor
and city council, the committee to
represent the club. No recommenda
tions were made.
At the conclusion of the discus
sion, Mayor J. E. Sheppard, who is
a Kiwanian, rose to a matter of per
! ic.nal explanation. He 'stated 'in
reference to himself in the interview
of Dr. Walsh published (yesterday
that Dr. Walsh had caleld on him
when here three weeks ago, had ask
ed concerning the sanitary inspector
and had been referred to to the fire
chief; that he later had requested
an auto to convey him to some out
lying meat markets and slaughter
houses and had been furnished this.
He said Dr. Walsh made no report or
recommendations to him and he did
lot see him thereafter.
Mayor Sheppard asked the club
to bear in mind that sanitary inspec
■ion by the employment of an in
spector, “while a good tiling, means
some expense.”

They are two Americus high school
girls and were winners of the school
essay contest in which papers were
written on the Kiwanis motto, “We
Build.” One prize had been offered,
but the committee reported that both
papers had graded identically the
same, and it was deemed unfair to
■ither to declare one the winner over
the other, in which two prizes were
provided. Fifty essays were submit
ted, it was reported, all of which were
highly praised.
