Americus Movie Fans “Rave"
Over Presentation, Manager
Kincey Says
Never have Americus audiences
raved so much over any photoplay
as '“Robin Hood,” which began a
three day engagement Wednesday.
The hundreds who attended were
almost unanimous in acclaiming it
the most wonderful picture they
ever witnessed, and storms of ap
plause swept the theatre at times,
Manager Kincey said today.
The following is a review of
“Robin Hood” as seen by the
critic of the Atlanta Constitution:
“Douglas Fairbanks never did
anything in his career to approach
his work as the Erfrl of Hunting
ton and Robin Hood. As intimited,
Fairbanks is the very figure of the
ideal which has grown around the
character of Robin. He is prob
ably better in the second part of
the picture, where he is the out
law of Sherwood Forest, leading
his merrie men’ to bold adventure
and whimsical trickery, than in
the the first half, where he is the
noble Earl of Huntington, favor
ite of the King Richard the Lion
heart and doughty champion of
the knightly tilting lists. But that
is only because he is supreme as
the frolicking imp of the woods.
‘After seeing the picture - there
is a desire to make everybody
else see it. It would be a pity for
anyone to miss it.
"From that moment when the
great drawbridge of the castle of
the king dropped across the screen
to spill its glittering load of noble

“I noted with interest your edi
torial regarding a commercial
hatchery,” said Mr. Howe, “the
benefits to be derived by the
whole locality from one
for it stresses the very point L
have been trying to impress on
all who come to see our place, that
the production of poultry on a
scale large enough to be worth
while will furnish the cotton farm
er of the South a, cash income.
“With the ideal conditions that
exist in this section for poultry
raising, and with the industrious
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Riley, at their
home on East Church street. He
was accompanied home by Willard

class of farmers that live here, 1
there is no reason why Sumter i
county does not have a co-opera
tive poultry sale monthly. The
only reason that I can see is that
the people have not awakened to
the possibility of the chicken to
furnish a cash income equal to
that of any other class of live
stock; These sales not only help
the farmer who has produced the
chfckensj but tl(ey inqrease the
sales of the merchants who sell to
the farmer.
“In connection with the subject
of a Commercial Hatchery, I wish
to say that we are making ar
rangements to install one, and
possibly two, 10,000 egg incuba
tors this summer; and it is our in
tention to place a large part of
this incubator capacity at the
disposal of the farmers and oth
ers interested in hatching eggs, so
that, they may have the opportun
ity to hatch chickens in large num
bers, raise ther/i on the by-prod
ucts of the farms, and sell them
through these co-operative sales.
“To illustrate the profit there
is in the production of poultry, I
would like to tell of one party to
whom we sold about two thousand
chicks this season; and, with the
aid of the proper brooding equip
ment and buildings, he raised all
but a very few of these chicks.
At the age of sixty days these
chickens were sold at a net profit
that was pretty close to a thou- 1
sand dollars. His case is nothing'
exceptional, for in other sections|
people are doing the same thing
except that they are selling their
chickens to the market in theSe
sales; where as he sold his at priv
ate sale.
“There is a great demand for
almost all breeds of Pure Brdd
poultry at good prices; and the
farmer who will select one breed
and keep it pure seldom has aiiy
trouble in disposing of all his sur
plus eggs and breeding stock.
'Were is an opening here for those
who wish to produce pure bred
eggs, with a market at gobd prices
the year around; and we wish to
encourage the people locally to
supply us with these eggs
“If by stressing through your
columns the importance of poultry
as a cash income throughoqt the
year to the farmers, you are able
to induce the farmer to enlarge
his poultry activities to the point
where they will be really worth
while, you will have done him an
everlasting good; and will have
solved one of his greatest prob
lems in producing his cotton, that
of giving him a cash income to
carry him until his crop is gath-
Vred.”

DOESN’T
SUIT FRANCE
Germany has made another re
parations proposition to France
and Belgium.
It suggests German payment of
war damages, beginning in 1927,
by a system of “annuities” of
about 285 million dollars reckon
ed in American money, an inter
national conference to decide how
long they must be continued. The
money would be raised by a rail
road mortgage, a mortgage on
commerce and industry, and a lux
ury tax.
France likes" this offer so little
that she isn't even answering if.
She objects especially to the ab
sence of a German pledge to stop
“passive” resistance in the Ruhr.
Neither does she want to wait un
til 1927 before beginning to get
any money, nor does she care to
leave the total to an international
■conference’s decision.
The British view seems to be
that the proposition, while per
haps not yet satisfactory, at least
js more so than the last one.
