PAGE TWO Hl Fffl TH BE 'BIGGER AND BETTER' Officials Promise Greatest Ex position Ever Staged There Week of October 20-25 MACON, August 30.—Bigger and better than last year is the prom ise made by officials of the Geor gia State Exposition fair which will be held in this city during the week of October 20-25 inclusive, with a greater number of attrac tions than has heretofore been on display. The aim and purpose of the Georgia State Fair, according to officials, is to build and maintain an annual exposition in the heart of Georgia that will be a credit to the state and the southeast country. Liberal premiums are to be award ed in the various departments of the fair, and already many large exhibits have been secured, it is| stated. Besides this, educational ) features will have a prominent dis play in the fair this year, and the agricultural exhibits will be a no ticeable feature also. The Georgia State Exposition was organized by a group of busi ness men of Mucon last year “to fill a need in the vacancy left by the discontinuance of the former state fair activities in middle Geor gia.’ The new fair association, it is said by officials, has no connec tion whatsoever with the Georgia State Fair which was held in Ma con for several years, under the aus pices of the Georgia Agricultural Society. It is expected that the attendance this year will be far in excess of that of last year, and it is the be lief that hundreds of persons will attend the fair from many sections of the state. PURE BRED DUROC she is pira Hawkins & Son Will Dispose of a Number of Bred Sows and Gilts During September Hawkins & Son, premier hog breeders of this entire section, an nounce in today’s Times-Recorder the date of their coming purebred hog sale at Americus. This is sched uled for Thursday, September 4, at their barns on Ellaville road, and as usual, it is expected, many buy ers will be here from different sec tions to attend the sale. In connection with the announce ment, it is stated that this is to be the only high class pure bred Du roc sale scheduled to be held in this part of Georgia during the fall months. With a bountiful corn crop pro duced in Sumter county this fall and a practical failure among grain pro ducers throughout the west, it is apparent that hog prices will be htg'h during many months to come. Incidentally, it should be known, , too many farmers here have per mitted their hog herds to dwindle almost to the vanishing point, ac cording to George Marshall, coun ty farm demonstration agent. Repeated experiments have dem onstrated that the Duroc is best adapted among all types for breed ing in this section. Among the hogs to be offered at the Hawkins sale are many young sows bred to Faultless Scissors, 2nd, Giant Sensa tion’s Type and Stilt’s Orion, the latter two being intensely bred Wes tern boars of national reputation. Giant Sensation’s Type is a son of Giant Sensation, the sire of the Grand Champion sow at the Na tional Swine show in 1923. Stilt’s Orion is a son of the famous Stilts who sired the first prize aged herd at the National Swine Show in both 1922 and 1923. Farmer's here who have allowed their herds to dwindle during the recent period of low prices for hogs, are encouraged to replenish these herds now by excellent prices be ing paid for meat hogs in all mar kets and the general anticipation of even better prices later in the ■ .season. Hogs during recent years have come to be regarded as a real money crop hero, and experineed observers here today expressed the belief that many who had made good money raising hogs a few years ago will be,gin at once the rehabil itation of their herds.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER imlkmi JEW DESCEIT Tribe Numbering a Thousand Want Government Help To Return To Judaism JERUSALEM, August 30.—Fart of a Bedouin tribe in Palestine num bering about 1,000 persons, claim inf’ to be <!■ scend' i I Jews who remained in Palestine following the' destruction of the Temple, have applied to the government for help in their efforts to return to Juda ism. The tribe known as “Arab el Si malni,” is scattered over Upper Gali lee. Some of the tribesmen are at present encamped at I’abha, on the northern shore of Lake Tiberias, whence they addle. -ed their re quest to the Rabb's of Safed. The claim as descendants of Jews is based by the eld of the tribe on documents said to be in their pos session showing their ancestors to I have been part of the Jewish race. One of the documents of the Si malm is a scroll written in Arabic, resembling somewhat in form and I content the “Torah' or scroll of the i Mosaic P'entateu ii. Some of the; Simalni custom are also said to I resemble those of the ancient Jews. | Ihe Newest PHOENIX BOBBED HOSE .<• 4 \ 4 4 ’ 444 ] frMQENixj ■. \ \ 98' All Colors At CHURCHWELL’S After waiting in vain for action on the part of the Rabbis of Safed who apparently were nonp too anx ious to precipitate a proselytizing activity of such importance, 25 chiefs of the tribe submitted a written application to the govern ment. A British official sent to investi gate the request and examine the claims reported that while there may be some doubt as to the ' au thenticity of the documents, the earnestness of the Bedouins’ desire to embrace, or to Juda ism, was unquestionable. The authorities are understood to be proceeding very cautiously, fear ing the effect upon the Moslem and Christian population of a wholesale conversion of the tribe. Although Zionist officials have been approached, they have taken no stand in the matter. The question of the direct des cent from the Jews of certain Bed ouin tribes of Upper Galilee and the Sinai peninsula has engaged at va rious times the attention ol Orien talists. There is a belief that the t ews remaining in Palestine after the destruction of the Jewish na tion managed to remain true, per haps ciarde tineiy, to their faith, I until, forced by Omar to exchange j their religion for that of Islam. I Since then they are believed to have I liv d outwardly as Mohammedans, | while handing down to their child- ren the story of their Jewish an cestry. In this respect the Simalni would be not unlike the “Moranos of Spain and Portugal, who secret ly retained their Jewish' traditions and practices, although compelled by the Inquisition to live as Christ ians.
