.Your telegram this morning has
surprised is well as pained me, be
cause it brings to mind the great
slnndgr being perpetrated upon the
people of the South in circulation of
such reports as have become current
it» other factions. The cotton grow-

remarkaUa fortitude a heavy load
during (Re period of deflation, happily
about ended, but there has been no
actual suffering in the South so far
ay I.have learned, except in isolated

lower classes who are always more or
less the victims of their own lack of

If the federal government will

to Europe, prosperity will reign in
the South.

Georgia has then been such splendid

J. H. Purvis is at the city hospital
where he was taken following
juries sustained in an accident on a
Seaboard freight train near Helena.
His leg is broken just above the
ankle, and he was bruised severely,
suffering a number of skin abrasions.
The injured man was brought to
Americus on the train arri!-j

Jackson was bruised and badly shak

The condition of Mr. Purvis today
was considered satisfactory, and bar

'To have or not to have the swim,
mmg pool," said Mr. Cargill today,
is to be the question. Since the or
ganization of the municipal niayv
around more thin 'a year ago plans
have been moving toward the erec
tion of a swimming pool to be the
equal of any in thia section, and it is
hoped, surpass most of them. The

w.n be 40 feet wide by 100 feet long,
which dimensions will enable every
lover of swimming sport to indulge
,n the greatest 0 f all physical exer
cises. Wc have planned time nnd
•gam how to get this pool, and now
It has been decided to call an open
meeting of all the cititen. of the city
to meet together to discuss this
question.
' "If the pool is wanted by a ma
jority of the residents." Mr. Cargill
'Continued, "tbc opportunity will be
given them Thursday evening to state
hi no uncertain terms just their at-
..titode toward building it. If the
swimming pool is not wanted, it will
he the privilege of the residents to to
aUte. Everybody knows the pfol is
needed and wanted, and needs only
concerted action on the part of Amer

solution of the question. So, every

After having spent several weeks
in North Georgia and East Tennes
see, J. W. Mostcller, Mrs. Mostcller,
Miss Sarah Mosteller and William
Mostcller returned to their home in
Americus Tuesday.
The entire tnp was made by auto
mobile, the Dixie highway eastern
route having been s.fectcd as the
one by which the journey should be
made, with a stop-over in Atlanta of
a few days. A portion of the time
was spent in Rome, after which the
Mostellcn went into the eastern part
of Tennessee for the remainder of
their visit.
The western route was taken to
Americus, thus giving die party op
portunity to view the crops along
both sides of the state, in Speak
ing the trip today, Mr. Mosteller ex
pressed tho belief that never before
in all his travels has he sqen finei
crop conditions than prevail through-
out Tennessee in corn and grain sec
tions, as wall as in Georgia, where,
he states, the crops are showing an
abundant fruitage (or the fall gath
ering!
"Everything is growing and ev-
erybody seems happy," said Mr. Mos
teller, “and the outlook ft r the fall is
a joyous one. Everywhere rain,
have fallen on the crops, making
them put on an additional growth,
and the fruits are abundant. I did
not hear any -hard times while I was
gone, and to hear the people every
where expressing their optimism over
the fall conditions makes everybody
happy and enthusiastic, too. Espe
cially through!*'/ Georgia, both on
the east aide and the west side, the
crops are abundant, with everybody
having n good vine.
“The entire trip was made without
car double of any kind and we made
the jurney to Americus from Rome,
a distance of 225 miles, wi! bin a day,
and stopped for two hours at Warm
Springs.
“We ate Georgia watermelons and
Georgia pepches and Georgia frn’ti
whHe we were in Tennessee, and 1
told my friends thera that if we were
to bo served G*or*a- products vr«
might as well return to Georgia and
gat them first hend."

T HAT’S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS—the Quality Cigarette.
Wtiy, just'buy Camels and look at the package!
It’s the beet p icking science has devised to keep
cigarettes fre.h and lull flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack
age and keep it air-tight ^
And note this! There’s nothing flashy abotft the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone; ’ f
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men sinokc Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga-
retty aftertaste. " v • 1 - , J
Camels arc mado for men who think for them
selves.
