er, of Macon, and Eddie Hanlon, of
Atlanta. The former has won ev
ery fight in which he has participat
ed, many by the knockout route, and
has many admirers in Americus.

I such men as Jack Britton and other
notables and is a fighter of unques
tioned ability. r )t
In the preliminaries “Ken ’ Kim-
Fey will be matched xyith Charlie
Hunt, of Cordele, and Boh Gibson

TELLS OF LIONS
AT HOT SPRINGS
: Rev. H. T. Brookshire Reports
On Inspiration Received At
Convention
.J
The following report of the in- 1
ternational corwenilon of Lions
elitbs at Hot Springs, Ark., and at
tended by rM 11. T. Brookshire,
11. E. Ailerf idl'd Janies Pickard, of
Americus, has .been furnished by
I Rev. Mr. Brookshire, as one of the
! official delagtes from the Anieri
' cus club:
"The sixth annual international
■ convention of the Lions club was
held at Hot Springs June 19 to 23. |
'There were registered delegates j
from the United States and Canada. |
In 1921 there Avere 336 delegates. I
This shows an nirrease of 156. The
personnel of the convention was im- |
pressive, men of every business and I
profession of life, men with serious J
intentions and deep convictions, j
Though there was much of the j
spirit, of "good time,” one could not |
help but feel the seriousness ot' I
j these men and catch an inspiration ■
| from their convictions. There was 1
none of the spirit of coarse carousal ]
lor revelry. I did not see a single |
man under the influence of whisky. I
' Everything was done in order. The '
mayor of Hot Springs took occasion ,
to mention these things at the close
of the session and spoke very comp
limentary to the convention of its
serious conduct. This is something
of which we may justly feel proud,
and is worthy of emulation in every
local club.
“The growth of ‘Lionism’ was one
of the disclosures of the convention.
Reports from all over the United
States and Canada show that many 1
“'clubs are being organized. There
are many organizers in the field and
wherever they go they find no diffi
culty in (organizing clubs. The Ca
nadian Lfons plan to send represen
tatives to England in the next few j
months, for the purpose of organiz- I
ing clubs there. It is the purpose of
the international leaders to have
clubs organized as soon as posible
in every English speaking country.
Those of us who are familiar with
the principles of ‘Lionism’ and who
saw the seriousness of the leaders
at this convention have no doubt but
i that it will continue to grow and will
■ commend itself to every community
■ 1 in which it is planted.
“The program of ‘Lionism,’ as
seen in the work that local clubs
1 have done, was another inwressive
’ fact revealed at the convention. Ev
-1 erv district governor in his report
told of the constructive work which
■ had beeq done by the local cluos

In short a community interest has
