BUSINESS MEN’S CLUB
CLOSES SECOND YEAR
The Business Men’s Club of Pel
ham closed its secoud year of use
ful services in this community
with a luucheon at the Marguerite
Hotel Tuesday eveuiug.
The retiring President, F. D
Hollis, summarized the year’s
wotk, outlining some of the more
important activities of the Club.
He showed the Club had been in¬
strumental in developing the di¬
versified farmi ig program of the
Couuty by publicity aud encour
agement giveu by its members
through their various businesses.
Last year the Business Men’s
Club in conjunction with other
organizations of the County fur
nished speakers at a series ot meet
ings held throughout the couuty for
the purpose of eucouragiug diver
sifted farming and dairying.
The Co-operative Livestock Ass
ociatiou was organized by the Bu¬
siness Meu’s Club aud has beeu
functioning something over a year
and one half in the couuty holdiug
regular co-operative sales of live
stock and poultry.
Mr. Hollis reports he was reliably
iuformed there is five times as
much thorough bred poultry in the
Couuty as a year ago, that the
dairy industry had been steadily
growing and the local Banks were
reporting cream checks handled
daily in appreciable numbers; that
nit -10,000 pounds of
between 900 and 1,000 acres of per
manent pastures have been sown
already in the County. He repor
ted the Tomato Association organ¬
ized by members of the Club bad
signed up 600 acres of tomatoes to
be planted this year near Pelham
and similarly 650 acres of tobacco
had been signed up.
He stated the Busiuess Men’s
Club was largely responsible for
the establishing of the Georgia
Yam Curing Company Plant here
which furnishes a market for about
20,000 bushels of potatoes and that
indirectly the Busiuess Men’s Club
was responsible to some extent for
the agricultural Teacher iu the
Pelham High School.
Mr. E. P. Barbre and H. C
Cameron, representing the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, were guests,
and Mr. Camerson made an iuter
estiug talk upon the facilities of
the Coast Line for handling the
truck and other crops of the com
ing seasou.
The occasion was “Ladies Night”
and the balance of the evening
was given over to entertainment.
Mrs. Julian Hightower of Thomas”
ton, Ga., was a guest aud delighted
the large number present with se
veral vocal selections. This was
quite an unexpected treat.
Col. J. J. Hill was introduced
and spoke to the Club at length,
Upon The League of Nations. Mr.
Hill handled the subject in his
usual able and entertainin manner

UNDERWOOD WILL
SWEEP GEORGIA
Britt W. Davis, who is support¬
ing Senator Underwood for Presi
dent, says: That duriug the
seven years that he was in Wash
Lugtou serving as Private Secretary
to Congressmen W. G. Brautley
aud J. R. Walker, from the Elev¬
enth District, that he knew and
had every opportunity to observe
Senator Underwood, and that he
is generally recognized as the
ablest man in the Congress of the
United States. He believes that
he is the ouly Democrat who stands
the gloat or a chance to carry the
Democratic party to victory, and
he believes this because of his
Senate of the United Sts es aud
the fact that he will not h: e to do
any explaining whatever. During
his thirty years of service in
Congress of the United States,
twenty years of which he was iu
the House of Representatives and
the other ten years in the Senate,
he has beeu Floor Leader in
House aud Democratic Leader iu
the Senate, which are the highest
\ places of honor to be given a mem
1 ber of the Congress and shows the
high regard iu which he has beeu
held by his fellow members in
Congress. In addition to this, he
was chairmau of both the Ways
aud Means Committee and
Judiciary Committee, which
the two largest aud most
committees in the Congress. Sen¬
ator Underwood is a southerner,
not only by the accident of birth,
but by preference, having
in our sister State of Alabama for
about forty years, and where he
still resides. He has just carried
his home State over two oppouents
by about 25,000 majority, which is
evidence of the confidence in
which his folks at home hold him.
, Mitchell County, as well as the
State of Georgia, went for Senator
Underwood before* and I hope it
will do so again, for I do not be¬
lieve its vote could be given to a
better or abler man.

BAD WEEK FOR
SAWYER’S FORD
Last week proved to be a bad
week for the Ford owned by Mr.
J. M. Sawyer, as it was in two
wrecks, both of which seemed un¬
avoidable on the part of the driver.
Wednesday afternoon, with Mr.
Sawyer driviug, the first accident
occurred at the Hand Avenue cross¬
ing over the Coast Liue tracts
Mr. Sawyer had been waiting east
of the crossing for the train to pass,
and as soon as it had gone by he
started coming toward the busiuess
section. Mr. A. A. Turner had
been wailing on the west side of
the crossing, and in turning to
avoid a car coming toward him
from Green Street, his car aud that
of Mr. Sawyer rati together. It
was an accident that could hardly
have been prevented, and the low
speed of the cars prevented any
serious damage to either.
Saturday night Mr. Ernest Saw¬
yer drove to tbg fire which destroy¬
| ed the Williams home, and the
ou
way back his steeriug gear refused
to work, at the point where Curry
Street turns into Railroad, in front
of the residence of Mr. W. C
Twitty. The car, out of control,
ran down the embankment onto

friends.
The origin of the fire is un¬
