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. MORGAN HEADS FT. MEADE BOARD That the American ‘Legion con vention in Kansas City the first of this week wav*. the great.:;? jrather of its kind m history, and probably the greatest ihr.t the L»g,j.i wilt ever know, was the statement of Walter _4_Ry!ander modi be/ore the, Americus Kiwanis cldb Friday. He had just, r turned from Kansas City where in went as an .lit. matt.* from John D. Mathis post, and also as representa tive of the iiia.i i'aettiier:- of the doughbo> statue, of vvhicn he is one. “There were IGO.UllO cx-fieiviee men in Kansas City,’ 4 said Mr. Ry lander, “and mu*’i entertainment Mov er has l>ven sfv*n. Thero was a place • for every one of them to sleep and something for all. of them to oak There was nothing too good for them. They were allowed and expected to do whatever they chose. , So dense was the crowd that the street ear traffic downtown was stopped, the side walks .rand streets, being, al most impassable. The convention was, 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 square dealing and fair play in all th transactions and no cut-throat busi ness as is done in some land compa res now selling land in Florida.

The The churhes thus withdrawn are: Dawson, Sardis, New Bethel, Mace donia and Bronwood. The reason given by these denominations center ed In the fact of the closer proximity of them'as a unit' to' the Parrott as sociation, strengthening and widen ing the field of their uscfulne:* in that community. The Friendship Baptist assoCiati m will meet next year with the First Baptist church at Americus, tlii.: ic ing the first gathering with this church in 25 years. Furlow I.av.,: Baptist church, now the Central Bap tist church here, had the convention 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;>; ami benefit our fellownian, the far mer, and at the same time make th« j organization self-supporting.

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 .
