Famous Sparks Circus Back
On Road. Coming This Way
More than a mere announcement
of another circus is news of the all
new post-war return of the famous
Sparks Circus, which is to appear at
Thomasville, Tuesday, Sept. 24,
Bainbridge, Thursday, Sept 26.
For the first time in more than
a decade, the old reliable Sparks
title is once more emblaconing the
finest in circus traditions. Although
the 1946 edition is new throughout
in a physical sense, it is, however,
built on the original Sparks policy
that makes it now, as in the past, “A
Supreme Achievement in Clean
Amusement.”
In a setting of today, the richly
abundant performance embraces all
the cherished elements which, for
generations, have made the train
ment. The imposing array of talent
includes all manner of aerialists,
acrobats, tumblers, jugglers and
clowns, augmented by the perfor¬
mance of elephants, liberty and
high-school horses, ponies and vari¬
ous other trained animals.
Top feature is Damoo Dhotre, the
world-renowned Hindu wild-animal
trainer, appearing in a great steel
barred arena with a mixed group of
black and spotted leopards from
Asia and Africa, black jaguars from
Ecuador and pumas from Panama.
Performances start at 2:30 in the
afternoon and 8 o’clock at night.

MISS GERTRUDE ATKINSON
BECOMES BRIDE OF
BUFORD BROCK.—
Miss Gertrude Atkinson, of Thom¬
asville, became the bride of Buford
Brock, of Cairo, on Monday, Sep¬
tember 16th, at the home of Rev.
R. A. Bowen, in Cairo, with Rev.
Bowen performing the ceremony.
For her marriage the bride wore
an aqua model with brown accessor¬
ies. Her corsage was a purple
throated orchid.
She is employed as chief operator
of the Telephone Company in Thom¬
asville.
The groom is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Lonnie Brock, of Cairo. He
recently received his discharge from
the army after serving for four
years and three months; 2 1-2 years
was spent in Alaska and about four¬
teen months in the Philipines. He
is owner and manager of the Tri¬
angle here.
After their marriage the young
couple left for a short trip to Pen¬
sacola and other Florida points.
They expect to return to Cairo dur¬
ing the week-end and make their
home at the Forrester House.

the “camera obscura,” which was in¬

THE CAIRO MESSENGER, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1948
Talmadge Announces
Democratic White
Primary Plans
Governor-elect Eugene Talmadge
recently announced that Georgia’s
proposed white Democratic primary
will be closely patterned after South
Carolina’s “lily white” voting sys¬
tem. He also explained that he was
basing some of his plans for a party
association on the decision handed
down by Judge Samuel H. Silbey in
the Primus King case, which in Tal
madge’s opinion stated in effect that
so long as primaries were controlled
by state laws Negroes could vote in
primaries.
Talmadge plans to convert the
present wide-open Democratic Party
into a “voluntary party” associa¬
tion.” He will ask the state Demo¬
cratic convention at Macon to do
just this.
South Carolina last year wiped
out all state laws regulating voting
and the Democratic Party set up its
own rules to insure against Negroes
voting.
Talmadge says he believes the
party gathering on Oct. 9 will be one
of the most important in the state’s
history as it turns to the task of
setting up a white primary.
Talmadge leaders will ask the
convention’s delegates to adopt re¬
solutions embracing rules for run¬
ning party primaries. These rules
will say that only white persons can
belong to the voluntary Democratic
organization.
The convention also will be asked
to pass resolutions calling on the
general assembly to strike all elec¬
tion laws from the statute books.
The only laws pertaining to elec¬
tions would be those pertaining to
fraud and these will be set out und¬
er the police powers of the state.
Cox Keynoter.
Meanwhile, a source allied with
the Talmadge group said Rep. Eu¬
gene Cox of the Second Congres¬
sional District had been named as
keynote speaker at the Macon con¬
vention.
Talmadge would not comment on
the reported selection of the fiery
Cox who often has been at odds with
the national administration.
The governor-nominate said the
party officials would be selected at
Macon and he would not disclose
any personal choices before that
time.
Asked what steps he was taking
to prepare for his new administra¬
tion, Talmadge replied slowly:
“Now don’t you know you can’t
hit a ball until it comes across the
plate?”
He did say, however, that in the
past it had been the practice for
the general assembly to adopt the
platform of an incoming governor
because that platform, in effect, had
been endorsed by the people.
About the only thing new in the
way of politics Talmadge would dis¬
cuss was his new grey felt hat—
one of his political trademarks.
The wiry Talmadge commented
that his health had been good late¬
ly although at the moment he is
bothered with a cold.
