TWICE-A WEEK VOLUME 52. MEXICAN TRADE FOR THE SOUTH Atlanta Business Men See l nusual Commercial Opportunity Since U. S. Recognized Mexico. Atlanta, Ga., October B.—Develop ing business for Georgia and other southern states with Mexico should net difficult now, according to Atlanta merchants and manufactur ers who have made investigations. Recognition of Mexico by the Unit ed States has been followed, as was expected, by the reopening of Mexi can commercial opportunities to American cities. Naturally there is" eagerness especially among the cities that the old days had extensive trade relations with Mexican con cerns, to resume the commercial re lations, for Mexican/ business, like that of all Latin-American repub lics, is valuable and it is a business, loc?<' manufacturers say, should come to the United States. Cities in the southwest, it is shown here, are first to receive benefit from the restored cordia' relations with Mexico and they are grasping the' chance to make the mos of the opportunity. Already, advices received here slate, Dallas, Texas, has sent a large delegation of trade boos:ers into Mexico to advance the interests of that city among the commercial houses of the southern republic. Los Angeles, California, has or ganized a large party of business men and manufacturers for a trade trip through Mexico under the aus pices of the Los A'nge’es of commerce. El Paso, Texas, busi ness men are preparing to send a large delegation from that city into Mexico, using an entire special train for the purpose and going especially where trade in other days made El Paso rich and great among south western towns. Georgia and other neighboring states are so situated that, m the opinion of Atlanta business men, it should have a large business with the Central and South American re publics. Doubtless the trade excur sion plan, which western cities are finding So valuable in developing trade with Mexico, it is pointed out here, prove just as valuable in de veloping Georgia and other southern' business in the countries that can be reached directly through the va rious southern ports. Georgia Woman Coue. Dr. Blanch Grosbec .Lovfridge, educator, who has been called “Geor gia’s woman Coue,” in that she es pouses “the every day i» avery way” theory of the noted Frenchman, has addressed packed audiences of wo men here recently, especially club women, which has revived the Coue philosophy as never before. Miss Loveridge, however, is not one of Dr. Coue’e converts, as she has been a student of the same philosophy for more than a quarter of a century. Would Repeal Tobacco Tax. Reports reaching Atlanta from different parts of the state indicate that the tobacco consumers of Geor gia are very much interested in the proposed repeal of the Special 10 per cent tax on cigars and cigarettes. It is understood ' that both con sumers and growers are beseiging their senators and representatives requesting that the special tax, which bcomes effective on Januaiv Ist next, be repealed at the extra session of the Georgia legislature which meets on November 7th. Communications received by some of the iegis.taors point out that “’t is unjust to single out one particular th ng to tax when so many otner things of the same kind are un taxed.” Tobacco growers of Georgia, par ticularly, are insistent in their com munications that the special tax be repealed. The tobacco market in Georg r. dropped over 15 per cent when the last legislature passed the special tax bit, according to growers in south Georgia, in which the tobacco section is located. Several members of the house and set ate, representing a south Geor gia constituency, have £i nouncod their intention to seek the immediate repeal of this law. These awma t ers claim that a canvass of the mem bership roll of both houses shows that the repeal vote will be itr i:g, if net successful. F. Q.

There were a score or more 'ord ers who Sang well; in fact all the numbers rendered were above the average, and well received, but the most unique figure of the entire con vention was little Fred Stephens, 'nine years »of age, who led this throng of seven or eight hundred people in several numbers. He has a good, strong voice for one of his age and handled his music liki an old timer. 4 . 'Another very unusual part of the program was the singing of Misses Levic and Lei 1 a Stephens, twin sis ters, who led several fine selections. The Misses Stephens are the daugh ters pf Mr. J. A. Stephens, of Lo ganville, and Fred Stephens ia a grandson. Every nook and 'vxrner of this county was represented, as well as DtKalb, iFultAn, Rockdale, Walton, Barrow and Newton counties. Mr. Alex S. Rutledge, who. has served several 1 years as chairman of the convention, was reelected without opposition. We are glad you came, and trust it will be our privilege to greet each of you again on the first Sunday in October, 1924. mi (taw »d Second Hand Ford*. H. P. Stiff M«Ur Co, Cask or credit Rev. J. P. McConnell, better known as Preacher Jim McConnell, of Grayson, successful farmer, preacheT and legislator, and who has married more couples, and said the last sad rites over more dead than any other minister in this county, if not in Georgia, has added new lau rels to his long list of accomplish ments, so yog can now salute him as Deputy Sheriff Jas. P. McConnell. While Preacher Jim’s main busi ness 'and greatest accomplishments have been in the role of “Sky pilot” and all his serious thoughts are figxed. on heaven, yet he believes strongly in the enforcement of the laws, and does fail to take no tice of passing events. So a few days ago he approached Sheriff Samp Garner and told him that he knew of a few things that shor/d be looked after, and requested that he be given authority to act, whereupon the sheriff promptly had him sworn in as a deputy. A day or so later Deputy McCon nell came in and reported that he had put out of commission a bockade still in Bay Creek district and at the same time handing the sheriff the name, description and address of the offender. This was too much for the sheriff, so Sunday night he called together his aides and went in search of more moonshine factories up in Puckett’s district, with the result that ean'y Monday morning he returned with a fifty gallon outfit. We congratulate Rev. Jas. P. Mc- Con ell, and if this county had more men and preachers of his type, liquor would be as scarce as the pro verbial “hen's teeth.” All the violators are known to the sheriff and will be rounded up in due time. having liquor. The case against H. D. Staples, charged iwth hving a still, resulted in a mistrial. As we go to press Thursday the case of the State vs. R. B. Fortune is scheduled for trial.
