Great Parade Is Climax of Best
Exhibition of Clubs Ever
Seen in South.
Georgia Corn Club boyH were re
turning to their homss Friday with
th** happy thought that they had
participated in the most successful
corn nhow and the best parade since
the organization of the c orn cluba in
the South.
It was a great parade. Jt (obtained
its pre-eminence from the great
crowds that watched it a a well an
from th* hordes of Joyous corn club
and high school boys that had a part
in it.
Traffic halted. The street railway
company was powerless The boys
simply pre-empted the streets and
the crowd* did the rest. There waa
no piercing the solid blocks of hu
manity that congested the crossings
and refused to move until the boys
hud passed by.
No one was buying anything in thp
stores (Merka pnd the pretty young
saleswomen deserted their work and
ramc to the doors and windows with
out fear of reprimand
Blockade Finally Lifted.
After the- last: of the marchers had
disappeared from sight and the Iasi
carriage had passed by the crowd
thronged out on the street much in
tiie manner that it takes possesion
of a football field after the contest in
over.
For a few seconds the traffic- po
licemen were at a loss. Then, the
members of the crowd going their
many ways, the streets magically
» I oared. niotormen clanged their
gongs viciously and the blockade was
lifted.
The 85 husky farm lads who had
succeeded in reaching or passing the
100-bushel per acre mark were the
recipients of the most generous show
ers of c heers arid applause from the
crowd* that lined the streets all the
way from the Capitol, where the pa
rade had its beginning, to the point
where the happy marchers broke
ranks.
Each of the envied boys was rep
resented by a large white sign held
aloft to tell his name to all the world
and to relate Just how many bushels
to the acre he had succeeded in coax
ing from Mother Earth.
Welborn Proud Marcher.
Proudly at the head of the 85
strode young Edward J. 'Welborn.
Well lie might be proud, for he had i
eclipsed the State record and had
raised 181.72 bushels to the aare. a
mark that any veteran farmer In the
land might try for years to surpass.
The canning c lub girls were not for
gotten. They were in tin* parade in a
mammoth sightseeing car in charge
of Miss Lois i\ Dowdle, a district su
pervisor.
Miss Clyde Sullivan, of Owsley, and
Miss Rron Dooley, of Bishop, winners
of the first two canning club prizes,
had the distinction of riding in a pri
vate* carriage with Miss Mary E.
Fresswell, of Washington. D. <\. Miss
Elizabeth Holt, of the State' College
of Agriculture, and Miss J. H. O’Quinn.
A platoon of mounted policemen led
the marchers. After the officers of
the law followed the Fifth Regiment
of the Georgia militia with the Fifth
Infantry Hand. The Marist and
Georgia Military Academy cadets
made a fine appearance with the r
nobby uniforms.
Prominent Persons in Parade.
Superintendent Slaton rode at the
bead of the division made up of the
corn club boys, the boys of the public
schools and the Boy Scouts.
