'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.

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. |

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.
