Albany Herald Col. S T. Jordan, one Of
Lee countys foremost farmers, who was
in Albany Saturday. reported that some
champion cotton picking was done on MS
place last Friday. For some time there
has been considerable rivalry between tOur
OF Col. Jorddn's best hands as to who
should wear the belt as the champion cot
ton picker. So on Friday, striking some
good cotton. the negroes decided TO settle
the championship, as far as they We're
concerned. Bright and early Friday morn
ing the pickers started, and from then
until nearly dark they worked 10 the
song Of Come. Cotton, Come" The con-
test between the men was so close that no
one could have picked out the winner by
looking at the different piles or cotton.
The scales told the tale, however, and II
was found that each of the contestants
had picked over 800 pounds. Their names
are. Jim Wallace, Rich Rivers, Lee Rivers
and BIN Alexander. The women averaged
about go pounds each. Their names are.
Savannah Campbell, Ella Dukley and AL
lie clark. These are good cotton picking
records, and Col. Jordan Is very anxious
to hear from the crowd that can beat
them.
