DUDLEY GRANTED
PATENT INfflU
Americus Man Gets Exclusive
Right to Manufacture Device
to Be Put on Market
In the Scientific American is a
description of a patent monoply re
cently granted to W. 11. C. Dud
ley, of Americus, on a s{ereoptican
device. The invention relates gen
erally to projection machines used
I in moving picture theaters, church
es. lodges, etc.
With this attachment and a roil
of transparent film the exhibitor
can write, typrite, print or
copy any advertising matter in
cluding cuts, cartoons, etc., and
project these on the screen i;i
succession as the film is drawn
through the device. This attach
ment in time, Mr. Dudley predicts,
will take the place of lantern slides
now in use because of its simplicity
and economical way of projection,
the expense being about half the
cost of lantern slise and the re
sult ten times more effective on
account of the advertising matter
j moving on the curtain.
Mr. Dudley has used this device
in his theater here for the past
• seven or eight months and it is an
j unqualified success, ho says, so
much so that he leaves in a few
days for Cihcago where he will
have it manufactured and put on
| the market.

MITCHELL NEGRO HAS
LARGEST GA. FAMILY
MOULTRIE, Aug. 25.—Aaron |
James, Mitchell county negro, is I
probably the head of the largest :
i family in Georgia. Aaron has i
twenty-seven children still living. ;
Thirty children were born to him I
and his wife, but three died in in
! fancy.
James has been nrorried 4G years
■ and is 76 years old. His wife is
' four year younger. Only one of his
i children has ever been in any kind
of trouble and Aaron thinks that l
probably the culpability attaches to ;
him and his wife for the reason that
they “picked the wrong name for I
him.’
He was called Jesse James a::;l a
few months ago Jesse ran afoul
the prohibition law. His father, i
however, paid his fine, and since |
that time Jessie has been doing j
well, his father t.dmfts.
Aaron declares that raising such
a big family cant be described as
an easy task and estimates that
he has probably walked 19,776
miles at night toting “squalling
young’uns.”
He is looked upon in his com
munity as being an honest hard
working negro.

SUMTERNEGRO’SPLAN'
Would Have Merchants Pay Pre
mium for Cotten and Thus
Wipe Out Debts
Jury Clark, a negro farmer living
in the Twenty-eighth district, was i.t
Americus today and while at Th.-
Times-Kecorder office proposed a i
most unusual plan for liquidating
farmer* debts this fail.- In short his
plan is to have Americus -merchants
pay the farmer a premium of ap
proximately 11 cents a pound for
cotton and thus provide the nioijey
necessary to pay off the farmers’
debt. The plan seems all light to
Jury, but it is not thought it will be
adopted by many merchant.: here.
The plan, all written out by Jury
himself, was handed The Times-Re
corder with a request that it be pub
lished, as follows:
“To the Bankers, Merchants and
Real Estate Men of Sumter County;
“Dear Sirs: Ypu have been good
to the farmers of this county, lent
us your money, sold us your goods
and tried to help us in every way
you could and whenveer we would
ask you. Now you have hope us in
debt to you and we owe you all
honest debts and want to nay you
but on the shortage of cotton crops
we can’t see onr way clear.
“You can witness that the boll
weevil has got two-thirds of our
cotton crops and gone. Now they
have left us the rest and we can’t
see that the price of 24 cents for
our cotton will enable us to satisfy
out indebtedness, that, you may be
encouraged to lend or to help us
j again.
I “We feel that if you will adopt
some plan to give us 35c or more
| for our cotton we can satisfy our
indebtedness enough to go on.
“Now, gentlemen, rto you know
that the cotton will he out inside of
sixty days and the laboring class
of farmers will be out of a job, and
you need to adopt some plan that
they can get a salary that will en
able them to live in the south, be
cause we need qur labor to build
up this Southland of ours, and to
help us farm.
“Now, gentlemen, do you know
that the colored man has always
done as you all said. When you call
for them to go and fight for this
country they went and put this
country over the top. Now I pray
the Lord that you may take this
under consideration and look into
this mater. May God be with us all.
“JURY CLARK.”

ATLANTA, August 25. With

the bill of Senator Stephen Pace,
