It has in the treasury $179.19, be eides a fund set aside to pay divi dends on all outstanding bonds. Holders of bonds may cash in th dr coupons at 8 per cent at any time they may apply to Treasurer Frank Harrold. The total indebtedness against the pool, which includes unredeem ed bonds and outstanding accounts was given as $3,130.80. The invest ment in the pool and its equipment was conservatively estimated at SB,- 000, said Mr. Cargill. In 1922 the playground associa tion paid the city 10 cents per 1,000 gallons for water, in 1923 it paid the city 11 1-2 cents, and Mr. Car gill said he had been informed that this year the water would be sold to the playground at 9 cents per thousand gallons. “This pool, as a strictly business proposition, is one of the best in vestments in the county,” said Mr. Cargill. “Its earnings will pay big profits—net profits—on the invest ment.” Mr. Cargill requested the mem bers of the three clubs to purchase a sufficient number of bonds to meet the total indebtness of sl,-. 409.99. He said the pool was orig inally fathered by the clubs, that ix was the one thing that three clubs had unanimously gotten together on and he believed the clubs were the proper ones to stay behind it and make it going, debt-free proposi tion. The answer to this request was the subscribing of 2500 bonds, and equivalent of $1,500. These bonds can be resold by the holders or ex changed for season tickets or held as an investment, as they pay 8 per cent annually.

We have , dipping vats for cows and hogs., ill we be less considerate of our children? Unless we provide a healthful place here for them to swim, they' will go to the creeks and ponds, which are unhealthy and where their moral welfare can not be looked after as we do in this pool.” Frank Sheffield, Walter Rylan ler Rev. John M. Outler, John Sheffield and others unqualifiedly endorsed the effort to continue the pool and pay off its indebtedness. Misses Mary Dudley, Mary Park er, Dorothy Cargill and Quene’le Harrold were presented to the club and given credit for putting over the amateur play, ':‘A Little Bit of Broadway,’ which netted $l5O for the Playground Association. Mr. Cargill told the civic clubs that he would resign as presid nt of the playground association when the board of control met last wight or today. His resignation is necess ary because he is now permanently located in Columbus, where he has accepted a position as one of the executives of the Columbus cham ber of commerce. Mr. Cargill’s successor v.’ill be elected when the board meets. »GfOfi MS 816 TOBACCO CHOP ATLANTA, May 28.—Tobacco growing in South Georgia is well es tablished and with good demonstra tors—--men who have made a suc cess of tobacco growing—farmers are expected to make large promts next season. This was the opinion, expressed here today by agricultural agents it was pointed out that the soil ii*. a large section of South Georgia in what is known as the tobacco belt is especially adapted to the growing of the weed—much of it being better than that of the origi nal tobacco sections of the Middle Atlantic states. Well drained sandy loan soils with bright yellow sandy sub-soils are said to give the most profitable returns, and this soil may be found in many portions of South Georgia. Reports received here indicate that warehousing facilities in many sections of South Georgia have been increased and the next tobace o crop will probably be larger than it was last season when'a fortune was net tod by many of the growers. 810 USED FORD SALE I! ffIBCEO HERE Americus Auto Co.
