THIS HORSE HAD TRIED
THE TRACK ALL RIGHT

Anent the races here this week a
good story is being told at the ex-
pense of an Americas man whose
fondness for horse-racing exceeds
that evidenced by his good wife
whose taste runs more to matters
spiritual. The good dame owns a
fine buggy horse and in kindness OF
heart allows her lord and master" to
drive it. And recently these drives
have been around the racetrack
where the horse developed remarka-
BILE speed, a fact wholly unknown to
the good woman at home A day or
two ago, while driving alone, curl
osity carried her to the driving park
for the first time, having never be-
fore seen track where the horses
ran But her horse, Holy Smoke
had been there all right, and when
he saw the racecOurse open he lit
out at a 2:10 gait that fairly amazed
the dear old ribbon bearer in the
buggy. In vain did she yell' at the
speeding beast and saw the bit, but
Holy Smoke merely put his tail over
the dashboard and leaned to his work
Around the track the old buggy whiz-
zed as it had never done before, and
people marveled at the manner id
which Mrs. Churchchoir was speed
ing. When Holy Smoke had made the
mile in his usual time, 1928, he
turned off the track and the event
ended. In, the meantime a badly
ratified husband is up against it in
the matter of explanations.

COTTON RECEIPTS
BROKE ALL RECORDS
Gratifying Growth of Amer
iCuS as a Market.

Americus received yesterday the
largest number of bales of cotton in
its history. as a market-1,246 This
is something like 100 more than the
previous high record. Combined with
the receipts for Friday, the receipts
for the last two days of the week are
just ten less than 1000 bales.
The heavy receipts are due to the
growth of Americus as a cotton mar
ket, and also to the forwardness of
the crop. Americus has a good num-
Der of buyers here, who represent
large interests This enables the
growers to get the top of the market
Warehouse facilities are also splen-
did, while the five banking institutions
are of great assistance to the buyers.
Excepting Columbus, Americus is
the largest city in South Georgia,
which section raises the bulk of the
states cotton. 1t is no cause for sur
prise therefore that the receipts
should show such a gratifying growth.
