John Piombo To Meet Cracker
Anderson At Opera House In
8-Round Bout
John Piombo, bailing from Mont
gomery, Ala., bas be -n sect”ed for
the fight tonight at the Opera House.
Piomo will meet Cracker Anderson
in an 8-round Lout, to a d • ion.
Joe Nasser has cLxu«.ageu ute . in
ner of this bout and both Piombo and
Anders, n are anxious to meet Nas
ser.
“John Piombo weighs 180 pounds,”
Promoter Alex Thomas states, “and
looks like a real fighter. I looked
into his credentials before signing
him. Piombo trained with Jess Wil
lard and Jim Jeffries. He was in
these two training camps, and he
must have bee\ a gc. J man or he
could not have gotten in.
“Piombo has nei t ring such
men as Gunboat „.aitn and Jim
\ Flynn. i._ has been waging some
successful fi"hts in Alabama and
Florio and comes here ready for a
clean exhibition and a desire, he says,
to give Cracker And iron a run for
his money.
Cracker Anderson weighs and
is a good map. You v. remem
ber that he met Jack Denham at tne
Rylander June 2. Cracker was in
no shape to fight that night. With
only two days’ training after a .se
vere attack of malarn . he went into
the ring. Since that night he has
been training almost daily and has
succeeavd in getting into better phy
sical condition. Anderson met Joe
Nasser at Albany last week and was
given a draw, and Joe is a hard man
tc hplrj off. Anderson appears
bit >w in the ring, but he has <
terribly wicked punch and knows
how to-use it, when an opening is
found.”

GREAT OFFICIAL
WAR HIM HERE
Six Reds Os Newly Developed
And Released Action Pictures
To Be Shown Tuesday
Showing at the Rylander Theater
Tuesday is the new official French
and United States war film, “The
Great Adventure.” This very in
teresting film, consisting of six reels,
is shown in Georgia for the first time,
it having been released but a few
days ago. It has been carefully as
sembled and edited in the labora
tory of the war department from the
thousands of feet of undeveloped
negatives taken by official photogra
pher in France during the progress
of the war. The scenes are entirely
new and striking ones, showing for
the first time such striking views as
the actual sinking of Allied vessels
by the famous German U-boat No.
34 in her memorable cruise early
during the summer of 1918, when
twenty-two large merchant vessels
were sent to the bottom of the ocean.
With the film is contained, too, the
first complete pictorial record of the
battle of the Meuse-Argonne, and
the great number of Americus people
' who last year attended the showing
: of “Flashes of Action” will remember
I the very thrilling and historical views
lof the battle contained in that re-
I markable film.
“The Great Adventure” deals with
[ the historical romance of the trans
' portation of over two million Ameri
can soldiers to the European battle
front during the days of 1918. The
ultimate triumph of these same men
in the crowning victory of the Ar
gonne; the pursuit into Germany, and
later President Wilson’s dramatic de
parture for France are all very vivid-
I ly shown in this amazing film.
“The Great Adventure’ ’has been
I released by the war department in re
' sponse to the numerous requests of
■ Legion posts that these historical
j and intensely interesting scenes be
' shown to the American people so that
; they might have an opportunity of
seeing for themselves the absorbing
drama of the World War in all its
stirring realities. Many of the scenes
being even more vivid than those be
held by the individual combatant
whose eyes had never the range nor
the faculty of perception of the cam
era. Never again without another
war will the general public have an
opportunity of seeing pictures of
battle events which will live in his
tory. One cannot afford to miss it.

PERRY ANNOUNCES
TO SUCCEED HIMSELF
ATLANTA, June 12.—James A.
Perry, member of the railroad com
mission of Georgia, has issued his
formal announcement of candidacy
to succeed himself on the commis
sion, and says he is asking re-elec
tion “solely on the ground of con
structive service rendered.” In that
service, he says, he has at all times
originated and voted for those rates
and policies which I have felt, in con
formity to the spirit of my oath and
duty were for the best interest and
greatest advantage to the whole com
munity interested.” Mr. Perry says
there is as much injustice to the pub
lic in rates which will retard growth
and progress, result in embarrass
ment and lead to bankruptcy as there
is in a rate which is excessive and
an imposition upon the public.
THREE VACANCIES NOW
ON COUNTY COMMITTEE
Tne death of E. Timmerman, of
Plains, removes the third member of
the county Democratic executive
committee since the last election, the
others being J. T. Harden, of the
29th district, and J. J. Wilson, of
the 15th. Because of the early ap
proach of the election, and there be
ing no very important duties for the
committee to perform, it is believed
no move will be made to fill the
places until the regular election,
when the committee will be named.
