FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 2, 1924 cwimrao SIGN 15.080 BUSHELS FirV. Reports From Membership Campaign Optimistic, Offi cials State • VALDOSTA, April 2.~Accord- W to reports coming from head quarters of the Georgia Sweet Po tato Growers Association at Val dosta, the first week of their mem bership campaign has been ar more successful than even the most opti mistic official had expected. It is eaid that the acreage equivalent to approximately 75,bushels has been signed up the first week. Sign up work has been done in four counties; including Lowndes, Lanier, Brooks and Colquitt. Pre liminary work has been done in -several others, and much interest is being shown jn the movement to organize the growers throughout feouth Georgia. Interested people made inquiries even from Nvth Georgia. The plans are to cover some fif teen or twenty counties of this im mediate section of South Georgia at once, after which a permanent organization meeting will be held J «nd permanent officers elected, ’there will be a director from each county, elected by the members of the particular county. These direc tors will have complete control of the business affairs of the associa tion. The movement has attracted the attention of the market bureau chief at Washington, and he has promised to send a marketing expert down in May to give any assistance he can render. It is understood that the federal department at Washington is advocating organization of South ern sweet potato growers, because they rocognize the fact that this is the only way in which sweet potato growers can ever hope to promote this industry. tSfizrlzOl pni> x L„tl ZS.

Has, Bell Worn By Sacrificed Maya Maidens By HAROLD MATSON NEW YORK, April 2.—Sacrifice ed to the Maya! Could a strange influencee of an cient fatalism extend a sinister arm down through the ages to mark a man as a sacrifice to hit people? And, by the same token, could that power'f’each out to involve an I American woman in the intricacies and mysteries of an ancient super stition? ' Perhaps it is but coincidence, yet there is something of the occult in the romance of Alina Sullivan Reed, an American writer, and Fe lipe Carrillo, who was governor of Yucatan, Mexico. A tiny copper bell, tinkling an echo of death, links the life of Alma Reed to thait of the ancient Maya. Down through the ages the amulet has come to tell the story of the maidens of Maya who were thrown to death in the Well of Human Sacrifice. A:id today, Alma Reed wears the bell, a symbol of love and death. 15 was given to her by Carrillo, with the engraved message: ‘‘Remember the Maya, lovely Alma Reed.” It was such a bell as the Maya beauties wore when marked for sacrifice. “Predestinado,” the people called their leader, Carrillo. Predestined may also have been the fate of Alma Reed! Years before the bell tinkled from her throat she found her life being interwoven with the Maya, with Mexico. The Mexican govern ment officially honored her when she befriended Mexicans in Cali fornia. Then the fascination of archaeology for her drew her to Yucatan, where traces of the an cient civilization of the Maya are being excavatede-. There she met Felipe Carrillo, hero of the people—the “predesti ned.” There was a spontaneous love, yet enriched with the glory of the Mya who lived thousands of years before. Alma Reed and Carrillo were to have been married last January. While she was in San Francisco, her heart beating with the tinkling Maya bell, the de la Huerta rebels captured and executed Carrillo. Carrillo, who had freed the Maya fiom persecution, was sacrificed SORE MUSCLES i from outdoor sports are re lieved by massaging with— VICKS W Vapoßub Oi>ct 17 Million Jmh Uaed Yearly cus Security Company and secured by said security deed.
