RIVAL CITIES IN
REALLOVEFEAST
Albaivv Roterisms Guests
Of Americus Club
Thursday
In contrast to the old days, when
Americus and Albany fought on ev
ery available occasion, there was a
love feast between the two cities
prsday when the members of the
any Rotary ciub were guests of
it-— " mer * CU8 club for five and a
half hours, from 2 to 7:30 p. m., at
two feeds and a ball game. Whether
the good spirits would have surviv
ed the baseball game will never bo
Tknown, for rain broke up that con
test, which was between the sam*
two cities, at its very beginning,
leaving nothing to even threaten the
good relations.
The visiting Rotarians, headed by
their president, tfbrdon Reynolds,
hardwood manufacturer of Albany
and manager of the baseball team,
arrived by special car at 2 o'clock
and were met in a downpour of rain
by Americus Rotarians in their cars,
i They were escorted directly to the
J Tea -Room where a splendid fried
I chicken dinner was waiting. Here
| good fellowship reigned until nearly
14 o'clock, when the meeting broke
I up for the visit to the ball park. Re-
Iturning to the ct?y, the whole com-
Ipany met again at the Tea Room for
■ supper at 6:15, where they remained
|until train time.
The welcome to the visitors was
delivered by Col. G. R. Ellis, who
gracefully and good naturedly assur
ed them of the good feeling existing
between the two rival cities and of
Ihe pleasure their presence meant,
president Reynolds responded for
Albany in a pleasing manner, going
lomeydiat into the meaning of Ro
ry and what its spirit was doing
bringing these two communities
Ind other communities together.
1 Prof. J. E. Mathis, in a brilliant
but not lengthy talk, poured some
lot shot of pleasantry into the vis
[tors, and at the same time remind

POLITICAL POT
IS SIMMERING
ITERRELL’STAX
VALUES SLUMP
. DAWSON. July 22*— Receiver
Ernest Baldwin has completed the
1 1921 tax digest for Terrell county
and forwarded it to the comptroller
general at Atlanta.
The total value of the taxable
property in the county this year as
shown by the digest is $4,944,870,
as compared with $5,810,076 in
1920, a loss of $865,206, which is
approximately the amount that was
gained last year by raising the as
sessments on certain classes of prop
erty at the direction of the state
tax commissioner.
This year the returns show a loss
in the valqe of every class of prop
erty except dogs and jewelry, these
two items alone having increased.
The value of farm lands in the
county, as shown by the returns, is
$2,016,246, a decrease of $368,049.
City property is returned at $987,
951, against $1,141,424 last year.
The value of banking stock has de
creased from $430,832 to $415,832.
A slump is also shown in money notes
and accounts. In 1920 there was re
turned under this head $362,575,
. while this year the figures are $273,-
Udif the loss being $89,266. Jhe val-
pue of merchandise has decreased
$85,482, the returns being $292,-
977 ,as compared with $378,459
last year.
Notwithstanding that there are
more automobiles in the county than
at any time in its history their value
for tax purposes is a good many
thousand dollars less than It was a
year ago. The 750 automobiles own
ed, or in possession of the people of
the county are returned at. a total
valuation of only $169,880, a de
crease of $31,790 since last year,
when the figures were $201,670.

ATLANTA, July 22.—Once again
Georgia’s political pot is simmering
—or at least the fires under the pot
are rcachig higher and making the
kettle boil as the general assembly
grinds away toward the end of ita
session.
Herbert Clay’s boom for the gover
norship has sounded throughout the
state. And is still booming. Many
campaigns for prospective candidates
are started, but few are finished.
The cause may be found in the fact
that the voters, no matter how many
times they are fooled, generally take
their own good time in selecting a
candidate.
But the president of the senate’s
race, which was started by his friends
at a recent barbecue in Mar’etta, is
receiving favorable comment in nil
prts of the state, if the letters which
arc reaching his desk are comments
of the press may bo considered as
sound indications.
Then, there is the fact that the
name of Clay is magic .in Georgia
politics. While many other men
would bo engaged in the task of
‘‘making a name,’’ Herbert Clay, in
a governorship campaign, would be
making hay while the sun sent its
beams from the heavens. ThU es-
set, in addition to the president’s
lotural proclivity toward making
friends and reputation for ability,
have caused many political leader,
of the capital to look up'.il his a
tl.e next chief executive.
ftemor. j.‘-t-ry D*v.
With its president in the political
light, the senate chamber is filfed
with campaign material. Each pass,
mg day brings rumors of possibl.
candidates, and to date, the stiuatior,
may be briefly summarised as fol
lows:
Judge B. F. Walker, one of the
recognized leaders of the upper
nouse, is considered a candidate toi
congress from the Tenth district. F«i
many years, he ha3 been active ir.
his section of the state, and woulc
prove a strong candidate agalnsi
Congressman Carl Vinson.
Senator Pope is being groomed for
congress in the Seventh district,
whilo Senator O.. A, -Nix, of Law.
renceville, is said to have his eye
on the judgship of the new P.cdmon’.
judicial circuit, tile creation of which
is being sought by advocates in both
houses.
Judge Jim Thomas—the senator
from the Third district with a laugh
that Has made him famous and one
>t the most popular members of tn
assembly—is being urged openly to
run for the state court of appeals.
Two other senators, Bond an«.
Fleming, of the Tenth, arc being
mentioned as probable candidates
from their respective districts. Sen
ator Fleming has a record in his first
term :n the upper branch of having
passed every bil (introduced, and has
been heartily supported in hif dis
trict on different positions he has
taken on question of local interest.
Hare's a Surprise.
Now cornea one of the real sur
prises:
Senator J. M. Mills is reliably re
ported aa the next candidate for the
office of commisaioner of agricul-
tture—J. J. Brown, the present of
ficial, having decided, it is rumored,
not to be a candidate for re-elec
tion. Mr. Mills is president of the
Formers' Union, and is well known
throughout the state.
Senator L. C. Brown, who takes
the position that he has never* been
given the proper opportunity to pre
sent serious charges, which he states
are in his possession, against the de
partmont of agriculture, is also con
sidered a likely candidate for Com
missioner Brown’s toga.
Should the race resolve itself into
contest between Mills and L. C.
Brown, the commissioner would
throw his support to the former.
Senator Brown, however, has reviv
ed much favorable comment through
out the state on his efforts to i.ave
the agricultural department investi
gated, and would stand an excellent
chance of winnihg.
There are others, of tourer, be
ing Becrotly groomed for various of
fices, but this summary outlines the
situation as it exists today. But who
can say what the morrow will bring?
Miss
Bessie Graves, of Albany, who will
be associated with the new concern,
for tho purpose of buying stock for
the store. They will be gone prob
ably ten days, after which they will
return and begin placing the goods
ns they arrive, preparatory to tho
formal opening, which is expected
to take place about September
An informal showing of wearing ap
parel for achool girls, however, is
planned for about August 23, in time
for them to outfit themselves be
fore leaving for school or college
elsewhere. Mr. Taylor and Miss
Graves left by automobile, accompa
nied by Mrs. Taylor, who will visit
at MetteF during their absence.
From Mcttcr they were to go by
train Friday afternoon to Savannah
and there board a boat for New
York. W. D. Bailey and Walter
Fagc also made tho trip with them,
going to market to buy for their
respective concerns.
“We are going to remain in New
York probably ten days, but as long
as necessary to find exactly the
goods wc want to buy and all that
wo will need for the opening,” said
Mr. Taylor. “Now York, as you
probably know, is the center of the
world markets. Every maker of con
sequence, both here and abroad
maintains offices in New York and
ample:: or stock. Wc intend to see
everything offered in ladies and miss
es ready-to-wear clothing and ac
cessories, and buy the smartest and
best offered. Wc are going to con
centrate on getting the right mer
chandise at the right price. Miss
Graves is an experienced buyer of
ladies ready-to-wear and will be of
great assistance to me on this trip.’
During their absence the finishing
touches will be put to the interior
of the new store, so that when the
new goods begin to arrive it will be
n readiness for their immed:ate plac
ing. The interior is being fitted
with wall cabinets and counters ir
