Georgia is out of only four States without adequate Vital Statistics Laws.
That in itself should compel us from a sense of pride alone to VOTE op
November 2nd “FOR RATIFICATION of amendment to Article 7, Section 6
Paragraph 2, of the Constitution, providing for the collection and preserva
tion of records of birth, df j ath, disease and health.” But there are many
other practical business reasons why Georgia should have satisfactory birth
and death registration laws.
Birth registration is essential for establishing proof of citizenship and of
identity, the right to attend school, to enter employment, to marry, to receive
pasEports, to serve in the civil and military arms of government, to enjoy be
quests and the proceeds of insurance. All of these are more or less de
pendent upon accurate birth records.
Equally important is the proper registration of deaths. Such records are
necessary in proving death for probating wills, settling estates, establishing
claims for insurance and pensions. They are indispensable in gauging health
conditions of a State or community and in determining the success or failure
of measures attempted by the public health officials in preventing disease
and death.

being the culmination of children’s
week as observed by Idfeal Methodise
Sunday School workers. All parent
ir, Cairo and Grady county, especially
those of the children enrolled in the
Cairo Methodist Sunday School, are
invited to attend. The discussion of
vital topics at this hour, by interest

WIGHT & BROWNF
n*SsssHt
CAIRO, GEORGIA
Sam Brown, fiashy quarterback of
the Albany Braves, proved the undo
ing of the Cairo High eleven here last
Friday afternoon, and the Albanians
j won the first gridiron contest ever
• staged by the two teams, 21 to 0.
Gaining consistently around end
during the first and a portion of the
second quarters, the stocky Brave
quarter scored two touchdowns and
contributed much to another by his
team-mate, Roberts, the latter kicking
goal for the extra point each time.
About the middle of the second
quarter, however, the Cairo team set
tled down to business and made an
even show with the visitors through
out the remainder of the game. Just
as was the case in the Quincy game,
the Cairoites were slow warming up j
to the situation, and it caused their
downfall.
While the odds were naturally
against Cairo, since Albany has pro- j
duced conference-leading teams for
years, the visitors did not find the vic
tory such an easy one, and they failed
to pile up the score that many be
lieved they would. Not only were they
foi’ced to use their varsity thx-oughout
the contest, but had the Cairo team
produced the same brand of football
in the first quarter that it did in the
last half, Albany would have ex
perienced considerable difficulty in
sending across a single counter. Of
course, Cairo has no alibis to offer.
The best team won.
Sam Brown is a fast and resource
ful man for high school football
elevens, and while he was accorded
good support by his team-mates,
which did much to make possible his
big gains in the early part of the
game, he must be given credit for his
clever work. His running partner,
Roberts, also deserves credit,. ag do
Dierberger and Picki-on.
The Braves w’ere good on providing !
interference on the offensive and they
proved more superior to the Cairoites
in this respect than in any other.
Captain John Walsh, Cairo fullback,
played a wonderful game for Cairo.
He plays hard and plays consistently
and he gives promise of providing
plenty of trouble for all his opponents.
Carl Mitchell, Cairo center, also show
ed up well in the Albany game, as
did Floyd Searcy, at quarter, and
Loring Whigham, at left half, The
other Cairoites played well, but they
showed a need of experience and con
sistency. They must make up their
minds to play hal’d from start to fin
ish if they expect to win football
games. the
Albany kicked off to Cairo and
locals returned the ball only a short
distance. After attempts to gain
through the line, Cairo punted and it
was blocked, putting the ball in A! - j
fcany’s possession about Cairo’s 20
yard line. Brown, the Brave quarter |
found holes around end for compara
tively easy gains, and on several suc
cessive plunges, he scored the firsn
touchdown.
Albany’s second score came soon
after the next kick-off, after a pair of
long end runs by Brown, Rober* s
took the ball across.

Okra Pickling Plant is
Closed for the Season
The okra pickling plant of the
Campbell Soup Company here is now
closed for the season. The manager,
Mr. C. A. Curry, plans to leave today.
The season here has been a most
successful one from every standpoint,
it is said, and Mr. R. V. Crine, the
soup company’s representative "for
whom the okra was produced in this
county, is looking forward to a still
more successful season next year. Mr.
Crine to come here in December
to contract for the 1927 crop.
Mr. Curry stated to The Messenger
Thursday that the okra handled hen- 1
this year would total about 310,000
pounds. After being sliced and put in
brine, the crop required 944 barrels
and twelve freight cars for shipment
to the soup factory in Camden, N. J.
Approximately 89,300 was paid fox’ the
crop which is estimated at about 69
ox 65 acres.
The acreage next year will likely be
increased considerably, so that it may
l-each 500, though this remains to be
seen. The farmers generally are well
pleased with the results of the crop,
and though it is only one of the small
money crops produced here, it is said
to work in well with the diversification
program already established.

losses several times, thereafter.
Albany not only failed to threaten
again, but Cairo launched an offen
sive late in the second half which ap
peared for a time would be fruitful.
Four forward passes were completed
almost in succession for short gains,
but as the play went into Albany
territory the offensive movement soon
spent its force.
Albany completed only one pass in
four attempts, while Cairo was suc
cessful four times in six attempts.
Albany suffered four penalties and
Cairo only three.
