Refreshments 302.81

Total Receipts $7,749.69
Mr. Cargill said that in the two
years 34,806 separate admissions
had been granted to the pool, paid
for in redeemed bonds or cash
The playground association owes
in outstanding accounts $1,409.98.
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. The bond holders
have a lean on the total receipts
of the pool as a guarantee, ;

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

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. Establish
ment Scene of Great Activity
During Today
From all indications the big
Americus Auto Co., used Ford
sale which bewan this morn
ing to continue throughout the
week and which is being tsaged by
the Tom Jones company, of Grand
Dapids, Michigan, which C. L. Mc-
Keever as their representative here
to conduct the sale, success is as
sured.
Mr. McKeever talked to the sales
and service force last night for.
fully an hour and delivered to those
departments of the Rylander organ
ization a peppy message, dealing
I largely with the difficulties often
I experienced by salesmen during
I large sales. The Tom Jones rep-
I rcsentative very successfully dem
onstrated many sources through
which those difficulties could easily
be overcome to assure the customer
a warm welcome and a pleasant
, business relation with the house
'while attending the sale.
Immediately after the doors were
thrown open this morning at the
Ford s- l«s and service station, cus
tomers began to flow in and many
sales were effected before noon.
| Evan Mathi s sales manager ot
| Americus Auto Co., in an interview
' with a Times-Recorder representa
tive stated that it w’as the purpose
of the sale to make room for new
caj s now en route from the factory
to supply the spring demand a’id
• that they were very proud of the
j fact that they had secured the serv-
I ices of the Tom Jones company, of
|Gupnd Rapids, a very reputable com
I pany whose business is to move
used cars and further expressed ap
preciation of the Jones company as
signing Mr. KcKeever to this city
to conduct the sale.
While there is a large variety anti
a wide range to select from the
i Americus Co., wish to stress the im-
I portance of those desiring to pu»-
| chase good used cars t-j come as
I early as possible because it is ’he
| intention of both the Jones company
| and the Americus Auto Co., to move
the cars as quickly as possible.
The sale will continue through
out the week and the Ford dealer
will remain open nights for the
,benefit of those who cannot con
veniently arrange to attend during
the day.
