Pooler, Ga., October 2.— (Special.)
One of the most brilliant speeches
ever made in this section of the state
was delivered tonight by Miss Stella
Akin, of Savannah, leading member
of the Chatham county bar. Basing
her remarks upon a discussion of rea
sons why southern women should sup
port Governor Alfred E. Smith, demo-
cratic nominee for president. Miss
Akin made a deep impression upon j
her hearers. She said in part:
“Has the republican party ever rec
ognized the substantial white citizen
ship of Georgia? Has the republican
party ever recognized the political sa
gacity of any of our white men nnd
women as its leaders in Georgia? Has
the republican party ever recognized
the claims of the south and Georgia?
Has not instead their answer been
their political bosses in Georgia?
Have wo not now as head of the re
publican party of Georgia, and ac
knowledged and recognized by Mr.
Hoover—Ben Davis and Mamie Wil

and elected Mr. Hoover president the
heads of our politics, the ones to
whom we would go for aid and assist

would be Ben Davis and Mamie Wil

The hatching and selling of baby
chicks as a business enterprise has
existed more than 2900 years in
Egypt and China, ancient records
show, while fifty years ago, when
hatcheries were unknown in this
country, there were at least 150
hatcheries in Egypt, each with a ca
pacity of about 300,000 eggs a year.
Thirty-four years ago the first ship
ment of chicks was made in this
country, inaugurating what was to
grow to one of agriculture’s largest
industries.
Although the hatcheriPs of the
country have several organizations,
and do millions of dollars worth of
business each year, it was not until
recently that some of the more pro
gressive hatchorymen ljanded to
gether to promote the sale of chicks
on a purely business basis, with qual

vice to customers as their basic ideal.
These hatcheries, poeraiing under
theslogan, “Hatchery Chicks For
Greater Profits,” are scattered from
coast to coast .They come nearest

COTTON GO HIGHER
1. It si said, if cotton was selling on the same basis as other commodities in America the
price would be 22. 35c for middling. It is now nearly $20.00 per bale below this price.
2. If you wish to buy the actual spot cotton as an investment, I can do so for you in any
quantity and carry 80 percent of it’s value. Phone or write me.
3. Liberal advances made on cotton you now have, to be held or sold. Be one of my satis
