TOBACCO SEASON
OPENS IN VIDALIA
Few Sales are Expected Be
fore Next Tuesday or
Wednesday.
After consultation with the
tobacco warehousemen in this
section, Mr. J. A. Warren, lessee
and manager of the Vidalia To
bacco Warehouse, announces that
the local warehouse is to open
Thursday morning for the season,
v However, owing to the fact
that none of the buyers have
received full instructions from
their companies, few sales are
expected to be made before Tues
day or Wednesday of next week
when it is believed buying will
be active.
A number of buyers represent
ing the leading tobacco companies
have reached the city and sales
will be made every day, with the
exception of Saturday, until the
crop in this section is sold.
Mr. Warren, the manager, sta
tes that while there is little de
mand for poorer grades of to
•bacco and the market for these
grades will, be very poor, the
better grades will bring good
prices, and the farmers who have
given proper care to their crops
will be pleased with the price
they will secure.—Vidalia Ad
vance.
Kibbee News.
Special Correspondence.
The morning sun of July 9th,
rose with its brilliancy and shone
forth gleam by gleam, upon the
little village of Kibbee—which i
marked a good many anniversa-j
ries of protracted meetings in
“Old Mt. Pisgah Baptist church, ”
that endowed its members and
attendants with the word of
Christianity, from 1866 up to the
present time. Rev. S. D. Wal
ker, one of the best country or
ganizers, gave to suffering hu
manity the best he had.
After twenty-nine accessions
to the church, which embraces
the faith of the old pioneers, the
happy meeting closed.
Mt. Pisgah has greatly revived
and continues to grow in mem
bers as well as attendance. So
far as attendants remember, this
is the first time that the pastor
did all the preaching, but the
faithful man poured forth the
message of the Almighty with
'such force that it called together
many of the Master’s lost sheep.
The ones that attended the ser
vices boast of having enjoyed
.the sweetest tranquility imagin
able, more so than in any meet
ing heretofore, and their voices
clamor more and more for the
upbuilding of Mt. Pisgah.
The good people of our little
town and vicinity are enjoying
fair breezes and good health and
are looking forward to the great
harvest that is near at hand.

Ford Plant Builds 108,962
In Month of June.
During the month of June, the
Ford Motor Company, through its
Detriot Factories and 22 Assem
bly Plants throughout the coun
try reached the production of
108,963 Ford cars and trucks,
setting up a new high record for
one month.
Production of Ford cars and
trucks has been steadily increas
ing since early spring, and shows
substantial gains over the same
period last year. The second
quarter of 1921, viz., April, May
and June, shows an output of
301,796 Ford cars and trucks
against 220,878 for the same three
months of last year, or a net in
crease of 80,918.
Despite the fact, however, that
Ford plants have been running
at maximum capacity, the de
mand for Ford cars and trucks is
not being met, and at the pres
ent time, many thousand unfilled
orders have been piled up ahead
so that Ford sales are limited by
manufacturing facilities rather
than marketing possibilities.
Particularly is this true in regard
to the enclosed cars, for which
the demand has been unusually
heavy.
One reason cited by Ford Offi
cials for the unprecedented de
mand for Ford cars is the pres
ent tendency toward economy.
Many of those whose names have
been added to the long list of
buyers might well have afforded
larger and more costly cars than
the Ford, but it is the belief that
most prospective motor car buy
ers are investigating all of the
costs incident to motoring more
carefully than at any period dur
ing the past five years.
The estimated output of the
Ford factories for July calls for
! 109,000 cars and trucks, or a pro
duction of 4350 cars a day for 25
days. Since the assembling of
cars is being handled during an
eight hour day only, the hourly
! output will be 545 cars. In other
words, one Ford car or truck
j leaves the assembling line every
j six and one half seconds.
Examination for Teachers
To be Held July 29-30
The regular state examination
for teachers will be held the 29th
and 30th of July, beginning at 9
o’clock each day. Please let all
those who contemplate taking the
examination be on ■'hand prompt
ly at that time.

In Mt. Vernon Today.
Due to the excessive rains Pres.
J. R. Franklin of Hawkinsville
and Vice-Pres. Wilkins of Kast
man were unable to be in attend
ance at the 12th District Dental
Society.s semi-annual convention
here today.
Dr. J. B. Donaldson, Secretary
and Treasurer of the Society,
called the meeting to order at 12:
20 p. m. Ex-president L. H.
Darby was called to the chair by
a unanimous vote. After the in
vocation by Dr. J. C. Brew ton,
Prof. T. B. Conner gave the wel
come address in behalf of city,
followed by an address on behalf,
of Montgomery county, by Prof
L. S. Barrett. Dr. Mingledorfl' !
of Dublin replied to these ad
dresses:
Routine work was then taken
up. Dr. Darby read an interest
ing paper entitled, “The Value
of the Country Dentist to a Com
munity”. He discussed the ab
solute importance of oral hygiene
in an unusually intelligent way.
In urging that oral hygeine be
taught in the Public schools, Dr.
Darby struck a responsive chord
in every medical man present.
The discussion that followed was
active and helpful. Drs. Jordon.
Huie, Donaldson, Mingledorff and
Allison taking part.
At 1:10 o’clock the meeting ad
journed with the benediction of
Dr. Brewton.
The remainder of the day was
spent in local entertainment,
having as features a big “water
melon busting” in honor of the
visitors, given at the bridge by
Dr. Rackley, and auto rides over
the partially finished government
( highway.

! Youth Is Drowned
In Gasoline Tank.
Bainbridge, Ga., July 19.—Alex
: Berry, a sixteen-year-old boy,
was drowned in a gasoline tank
at the Texas Oil Company yester
iday afternoon. In taking his af
ternoon measurment, the boy
dropped his pencil in the tank and
swung down to reach for it.
Finding himself about to be over
come by the fumes, he called for
aid to a small boy who was with
him.
His weight was too much for
his little companion, however,
and when help afterward arrived
and Berry was drawn to the top
of the tank with a piece of wire,
he was found to be dead. Alex
Berry was the first grandson of
Dr. V. Berry, one of the oldest
j physicians in the city.

May Create Commission
To Dispose Os Mansion.
Atlanta, Ga.—Creation of a
public property commission to
dispose of the governor’s mansion
and to provide a suitable home
for the chief executive, is sought
in a measure which is now be
fore the Legislature. The hill
names the governor, secretary of
State and the attorney general to
compose the commission and
places a valuation of .$500,000 on
the present mansion property.
The commission is authorized to
sell or exchange this property
and is limited to an expenditure
iof SIOO,OOO in providing a suita
ble residence for the governor.
The remaining MOO,OOO goes on
the state’s bonded debt.
Montgomery Co. Farmers
Shipping Watermelons.
Messrs. H. J. Wright and A.
L. Lanier have received returns
from a carload of watermelons
recently shipped, which brought
them in a fair return. These
two gentlemen have large patch
es of this juicy product, and state
that before the season is over
they expect to ship several more
cars.
Mr. J. J. Evans, another farm
er, who who resides on Mr.
Wright’s place, has a large crop
of melons, and The Monitor is
indebted to him for the largest
and finest melon seen this season.
It is possible that the raising
of melons could be made more
profitable to many of the farmers
jin this section if facilities for
marketing were improved, and
it may be that from this begin
ning, an industry started by
; these progressive farmers, will
j solve the boll weevil problem.
NO. 15.
FALL TERM OF
BREWTONTARKER
Prospects Bright for Opening
Date —Will Have Strong
Faculty.
The Brewton-Parker Institute
will open on August 30th for the
next term. As is generally
known, several of the teachers of
last year have decided not to re
turn. President Barrett has been
making strenous efforts to find
just the right teachers to fill the
several positions, and has suc
ceeded in securing all the corps
of teachers except the one for
the Expression Department.
It will be a matter of gratifica
tion to those who know the work
of the faculty for the past two
years to learn that Miss Elizabeth
Lee will again have charge of
the Piano department, and that
Mrs. Tyler will return for the de
partment of Stringed and Wind
Instruments, and that Miss Eth
ridge will again head the Home
Economics department. Miss
Lillian Douglas of Camilla, who
has taught at Ellaville for two
years and whom an effort was
made to secure last year for
Brewton-Parker, will teach math
ematics. Mr. W. C. Holley of •
Alabama will have the work in
English and Mr. W. H. C. Dudley
of Mississippi will have charge of
the work in Science. More time
will be given by the president
next year to the school room work
and this will enable the faculty
to divide the History classes
among themselves without the
extra teacher. Mrs. Earl Con
nally of Stockbridge, Ga., will
have charge of the dining hall
and kitchen. She has been serv
ing in a similar capacity of late
in a sanitarium at Commerce, Ga.
The correspondence and per
sonal talks concerning the atten
dance of boarding students for
another year is more encourag
ing than it had seemed that the
financial conditions would justify.
There have been inquiries from a
number of prospective ministe
rial students and their pastors,
and it seems that there will be a
larger attendance of ministerial
students this year than last year.
There is undoubtedly a strong
er feeling of confidence now for
the future of the school than
there has been for several years.
The citizenship of the territory,
not only local but the outlying,
are giving expressions of renew
ed interest and loyalty which
means hearty support. Some are
voluntarily declaring that* they
expect to have their sons and
daughters hereafter to take their
high school work at Brewton-
Parker.
; House Committee Against

Atlanta, July 20. (Macon Tele

I was hore from Fort Valley and
that section of Houston county to
oppose the new county proposi

H. Nunn, a former member of
the House.
The opponents severely criti
cised the Senate for passing the
bill without hearing from the op
position and charged it was done
by lobbying. The vote against
favorably reporting the bill was
18 to 10.
