Edgar Cline |
Sees Mexican
Bull Fights |

Edgar Cline of Oxford who
graduated from Emory Univ. in j
June is spending the summer in
Mexico City taking post gradu
ate work. Not long he '
ago attend
ed a bull fight, and this is the
letter he wrote home about it.
Sunday night
. Aug. 4, 1940
Dear Folks:
I have been about a lot this
week-end and am somewhat tired!
now. and also slightly sleepy. I
was pretty lucky and was invited
for lunch at the home of Cecilia
Enriqueg. They have 4 beauti
ful home, more like an American
house than the one I live in, as
it has a lawn etc. rather than a
patio in the center. We went :o
the bull fight this afternoon and
I really enjoyed it, although I
didn’t think I would while sitting
there waiting for it to start. They
only have them every Sunday af
ternoon. and it involves much
ceremony, walking around the»
ring, and people throwing the
toreadors flowers when they come'
in to work. i
The place is a circular bowl;
with seats like any other stadium, j
There were eight bulls killed differ-j the
afternoon I went, by four
ent toreadois. They spent 15 or 1
20 miutes for each bull. ]
Before the toreador kills the
hull, picadors on horses with long
lances poke the bull with sharp
points on the end of poles to make
t he bulls mad. A couple of them
got knocked off their horses:
(they have big pads on the
horses) The secret of bull fight
ing is the cape used by the tor
eador. It is about the size of an
army blanket and bright red, and
is held in many different ways.
The cape is waved and the bull
charges at the cape instead of the
toreador. If he were to charge
e toreador he wouldn’t have a |
chance, but they always charge
the cape. Sometimes they will
s tand five or six feet directly in
f ron t 0 f the bull and wave it. A
gooc j toreador can s tay within a
jj ve or s j x f 0O t radius and be
c t iar g e( j by the bull time after

them barely move as the bulls goi

All of which means greater
prosperity for the tobacco belt of
South Georgia and Florida.

crop spells more new money in
circulation among the tobacco
growers.
This new money will go to the

it wil pass through all the eco

will increase retail and wholesale
trading, it will provide the fac

instration next year may discover
that although the South may b«
the “Nation’s number one econo

America's number one economic
opportunity.
A new course devoted exclus
ively to a study of the business
problems of Southern industry
will be offered for the first time
during the academic year which
opens September 25, it has been
announced by Prof. Boyce F.
Martin, dean of the School of
Business Administration at Em
ory.
Entitled “Southern Industries,”
the new course is designed to ac
quaint students with the opera
tions of the major business enter
prises in this section. It will serve
a dual purpose in assisting stu
dents entering business in this
area to secure an understanding
of the industries located here and
in pointing out the potentialities
of industrial development in the
South, Mr. Martin said.
Particular attention will be giv
en to those industries where a
substantial proportion of the na
tion's productive capacity is con
centrated in the South, such as
cotton goods, hosiery, rayon, cig
arettes, and kraft paper. Thosa
expanding industries in the sec
tion. such as pulp and paper, al
so will be emphasized.
Special visits to nearby plants
and lectures by prominent busi
ness executives will supplement
the daily classroom work, Prof.
Martin declared.

We hope all of you heard Mr.
Frank Williams of this county
over WSB Wednesday morning in
his talk on better cotton prices
by careful handling of cotton be
fore ginning. Each year farmers
are severely penalized in cotton
prices by not picking their cotton
free of trash and not drying prop
erly before ginning. There is an
abundance of cotton and Rayon
available to all cotton mills and
fox these two reasons mills are
becoming more and more exacting
in the class of cotton they spin.
Farmers must do their part in
bringing cotton to the gins in
good condition if they expect, the
ginner to *give them a good bale
of cotton.

built by Robert Stanton in the

enough seed on your farm this
year to seed the pasture and ail
land not neded for row crops.
And to save some seed may be
wise as we were told the* other
day that the seed crop in Tennes
