GOVERNOR SPEECHLESS
BEFORE BEAUTY THRONG
VALDOSTA, Nov. 5—With a bold
ness which swept aside thoughts of
personal or political popularity Gov-
ernor Hardwick yesterday while a
visitor in Valdosta laid bare tho fi
nancial needs of Georgia in order to
properly maintain its institutions in
a manner befitting Georgia and the
needs of her people.
While a breakfast guest at the
South Georgia State Normal college
at the invitation of President R. H
Powell, Governor Hardwick express
ed his appreciation of the beautiful
reception accorded him by the facul
ty and student body, remarking that
in hit younger days he felt that he
could hold his own with one lovely
woman, but in the presence of such
nn aggregation of beauty and grace
he was speechless. Seriously speak
ing the governor declared that the
South Georgia Normal college in
turning out well trained teachers was
performing a work which there i?
none more important, because its
teachers were pioneering in removng
tho last traces of white illiteracy in
Georgia- It was his hope,’he said
to ace tho time, and not far distant,
when Georgia could give to this insti
tution the financial assistance it not
only merited but demanded.
The breakfast of which the gov
ernor partook was the regular meal
served in the regular way by some
of Georgia's finest girls, made ef"
ficient through the wonderful train-
ing given by this college in all lihes
of practical useful educational work
BURLESQUE CARNIVAL
IS STAGED AT CORDELE
CORDELE, Nov. 5 - A bj-'er.iuc
_n csmlvals and fairs put on by
tho department heads of the school
system brought great crowds of pco-
pic to the high school grounds last
night where the teachers and pupils
had shows for everything the pro-
fesisonat carnivals usually represent.
■ The fortune teller, the fat man, the
[chamber of horrors—and the “hot
Idog" stands were all there, each in
. of a teacher and busy group
,.l ’specters. The occasion was
fun and amusement for all
(tea who attended. This is the sec-
' oil kg event in the week for local
petph, this one proving very satis-
fttt«T aa a novel amusement.
The following summary of the
Friendship association annual con
vention at Leslie last week is sub
mitted by an officer of the conven
tion:
Wodncrday afternoon was devoted
to the talk made by l)r. Wallace
Wear, of Cordele, on the Georgia
Baptist hospital. H'e made a stirring
appeal for the necessity of this great
institution, and its location jn this
section,Vonvincing his hearers of the
immediate and ultimate beneficial re
sults from .its location. The evening
service was conducted by llcv. W. II.
Barrett, who delivered an inspiring
sermon.
Thursday morning was given over
to the hearing of the reports on stale
and home missions, and of the wo
man’s work throughout the state on
education along religious lines. Tho
forum- was led by Rev. Henry
Brookshire, pastor of the Central
Baptift church of Americus; llcv. A
C. Wolions and Rev. L. B. Johnson,
of Plains. Dr .Carl W. Minor, pas
tor of the First Baptist church of
-Americus, delivered the sermon at
11 o’clock, taking for his subject,
“Imitation of a Worthy Exnmple,”
taken from the text, “they first gave
themselves to the Lord.” Dr. Minor
showed the many ways in which a
Christian may use a widespread in
fluence by worthy example, and
greatly impressed his hearers with
the earnest manner in which he ret
forth his arguments for''righteous
precept.
Miscellaneous business of the as
sociation filled the afternoon hours
of Thursday. During the routine of
business discussions the motion was
made by five Churches to withdraw
from the Friendship Baptist as.

That the American ‘Legion con

of its kind m history, and probably
the greatest ihr.t the L»g,j.i wilt ever

Development Organiaztion Is
Launched In Florida Town
Under Ex-Americus Man
A development board has just, been
organized ut Fort Meade, Fla., at the
suggestion and under the impetus of
a former Americus citizen, ,L. A
Morgan, now a resident of that city.
Organization was formed for the pur
pose of developing farm lands about
Fort Meade and taking care of far
mers from Georgia, Alabama and oth
er states,seeking to locate in Florida.
The hoard contemplates either selling
farm lands which it is to locate, on a
basis of 10 per cent, or lease land
for a term of years to enable a new
comer to investigate conditions be
fore buying. The plan was launched
with n capital stock of $2,500, at
$10 per share, of which 180 shares
were subscribed in ten minutes at the
organization meeting. At the next
meeting the amount was increased
to 500 shares or $5,000 rtock, all of
which was taken in 15 minutes. The
organization immediately went to
work under the direction of u corps
of enthusiastic officers, Mr. Morgan
being elected general manager. Most
of the subscriptions were for ten
shares each.
“The corporation was founded on
thp .principles of selling, leasing, or
renting land" to a farmer who ha;;
sufficient funds to see himself
through two crops, which means that
he should have 82,000 before attempt
ing to farm in the correct way,” Fays
the announcement. “There .will he

transactions and no cut-throat busi

will meet next year with the First
Baptist church at Americus, tlii.: ic

in their church 15 years ago, an J
Americus Baptists are looking for
ward to the 1922 meeting with pleas
urable anticipation.
One of the'remarkable featured of
the convention-at Leslie consists <>f
the fact that- not a single negative
vote was cast, the sessions being ex
tremely harmonius and of one accord
in all motions placed before the Body.
The entire session was largely in
tended, with probably more than 00?)
persons present, and a delegation of
100 Baptists from Americus partici
pating. The hospitality of the Leslie
pepole wAs unbounded, making the
occasion one of. goodfellowshlp and
profitable socially as well as spirit
ually.
and sec that they are r.ot swindled
*n the purchase of the right kind of
farming lands.”
The Fort Meade Leader, telling of
the organization meeting, said of Mr.
Morgan a part In it:
“L. A. Mor^mu, the founder of the
plan and who is a Georgian himself,
enjoying prosperity in the land of
flowers, spoke of #he ryatem in or
ganization and defined several ways
to perfect this organization in *he
way: that would make it a nucc:v;>;

held in tho huge Convention Hall, a
steel structure auditorium erected by
that city in 90 days hack in 1900
when their old auditorium burned
down just that many days’before the
Democratic national : convention
whicli was held there. This huge
building was Oiled at ail hours,
“There were several reasons for
this being such an immense gathering.
One was the geographical local of
Kansas City, which permitted men to
reach it easily from all directions.
Another was the presence of Foch,
Perching, Beatty, Sims, Diaz, Jacques
and many other notables. There were
80 military bands in the parade on
Wednesday afternoon which started
at 2:JO and lasted until night, witn
the men marching os close together
as possible. At the windup of the
convention the 80 bands massed in
convention hall and played one piece
together, producing something I nev
er expecte to hear equalled again.
“An example of the hospitality ac-
orded the boys,may Le gained from
the incident of a group of Texas Le
gion men. They had a" long-horned
Texas steer fastened to a long rope
and after leading it through the
.streets, look it into the finest hotel
in the city, marched right through
knocking over chairs and tables and
anything in the way—and not a word
was said.
“The next convention will be held
in New Orleans, hut it can not be
j>uch « gathering as the one just held
And the men who attended It can
never forget Kansas City»
Mr. Rvlunder's talk of the convex
tion was followed by Dr. J. A. Thom
as, who told of his visit to the battle
fields of France, as reported Friday
afternoon, and then by E. M. Vi
qjicsncy, designer of the doughboy
statue, who related in a brief man
ner how it had developed and how
the design had been revised time af
ter time until it had become whut
has been called tho ideal representa
tion of tho doughboy. In his talk
Dr. Thomas declared it a wonderful
presentation of the spirit of the
doughboy, and expressed a wish to
sec the day when It would be found
in miniature on every business man
desk. ~ -;i4 I .

cd to the police yesterday that thieves
Imd broken into his place during the
night and taken away practically all
of his stock of goods. An axe was
used to cut the hasp of a padlock
which fastened the front door. That
the thieves used an automobile, or
some othor vehicle, to carry off their
loot, is certain. Besides a quantity
of Whitu Ring flour In 21 pound
sacks, they carried off a caddy of
Climax tobacco, it caddy of Moon
shine tobacco, a caddy of Sweep
Stakes tobacco, a tin carton of Penn
chewing tobneco, a carton of Prince

hns since been identified as the prop
erty of Andrew Johnson, unothcr ne

to Sheriff Harvey for investigation,
Last night an unidentified negro
appeared at the Seaboard yards and
looked up tho night hostler, who was
bringing up a locomotive, for a
chance to work his way to Savannah.
He laid a sack of something he was
