nual address OF President Emmett Cab

his magnificent printing plant was de-
stroyed by fire a little over a year ago,
Editor Mercer is printing a better pa
per than he did before.
The morning hours before Tuesdays
session was enivened for the delegates
by the Fitzgerald band, who readily
proved their contention that they were
one of the best bands in the state Sta
toned on one of the wide porches of
one of the hotels, the band rendered
a breakfast concert that caused walters
to do all sort of cake-walk and contor-
tions as they carried the big and heavily
loaded trays of eatables that almost
made one forget that there was to be
any convention Turkey in the Straw.
Hal Ha! Ha;" Yankee Doodle Dandy"
MY Old Kentucky Home" and many
other oldtti airs were played while
the visitors breakfasted.
The automobile drive for the dele
gates will be one of the most pleasant
of the social features. 1t is planned to
carry the visitors over the great farms
and pecan groves of Ben Hill county
The pecan industry here will come as
revelation to many of the farmers of
north and middle Georgia. There are
also groves of orange and banana trees
that will cause the greatest interest.
There are pecan groves that are now
worth $500 an acre on land that was
bought for 81 an acre only short time
ago.
An intermittent rain which fell Tues
day morning made Fitzgerald as pleas
ant as the seashore. The sun was shin
ing through a lot of the rain, which
seems different from the rains of other
sections of the state. as Ii is a drizzle
that dries on clothing quickly, and as
one delegate said, did not seem TO be
wet water at ALL" The hard sandy soil
also dries quickly after a rain.
Among the hospitable folk who en-
deavored to make the farmers stay the
visit OF their lives was Isadore Gelders
the managing editor of the Fitzgerald
Leader. With his automobile at the dis
posal of all, he piloted them over the
good roads of Ben Hill county. of which
all the people are so proud. He was
everywhere talking UP Ben Hill county,
but most of all giving old and new
friends happy time,
1t was largely through the efforts of
c. A. Newcomer, of Fitzgerald, that this
enterprising city secured this convention
of the Georgia division. He conceived
the idea and wasted no effort or time to
have the convention come to Fitzgerald
The visitors all pledge their word that
he is even showing them better time
than he had promised
The badges that are being worn by
the visitors are the most tasteful that
has marked any convention for a NUM-
Der of years. Printed In white letters on
blue ribbon, the badges and their In
scription can be seen for some distance
and are admired by all. The white
badges worn by the local entertainment
are also unique and practi-
cally every citizen Is member of this
committee. All of them do not wear the
white badges, but every one of them is
united in giving the visitors the best
the town has.

And WON'T charge you cent IL it doesn't re-
suit in improvement-f IL doesn't keep your
rupture from coming ,out-when you are work
ing, exercising, ETC.. all day long and every
day.
Don't judge this by other trusses. This is the
only truss guaranteed to hold. And in addition
to that. the Cluthe Truss provides the only way
ever discovered for overcoming the weakness
which is the real cause Of rupture.
While taking all strain off the rupture, tins
truss is constantly strengthening the weak rup-
tured parts
Does that by automatically massaging them
this soothing healing massage does for these
parts exactly what exercise does for weak arms
soon restores their lost strength-soon makes
them SO strong that truss is no longer needed.

FITZGERALD. Ca, June Alt is
doubtful If ever any convention of the
Georgia division of the Farmers Edu-
cational and Cooperative union had as
many leading farmers present as the
meeting here. An air of business-like
methods characterizes the convention
hall and the hotels where the delegates
are registered. Any one, not member
of the union will recognize as well as
do the farmers themselves. that new
era has come into Georgia farming. and
that farmers must utilize every known
method to get the best results.
Il don't think that 1 ever saw such
an Misunderstanding body of farmers
gathered together before" said Presi-
dent Emmett Cabaniss Wednesday,
while standing in the lobby of one of
the hotels. Every man that is here
seems to know the purpose he has come
for-every one understands that he is
enlisted in a campaign for the good of
himself and his neighbors. There may
be differences when it comes to the set
Element of little matters-there is that
difference of opinion in everything, but
they are all united on the plan to bet
ter Georgia farmers"
There are few presidents that have
been more universally respected than is
President Cabaniss. Untiring, working
always for the best interests of the
union. alert to impress farmers and
business men alike that the good of
one is the good of all, he has proven
a solid wedge in cementing the union
into a most potent factor in Georgia.
His retirement as president will come
as source of regret TO all
The admirable hostelries of Fitzger-
aid were filed beyond their capacity by
the large number of delegates. and
many of the hospitable citizens of Fitz-
gerald have opened their homes to the
visitors
1t has been years since a convention
brought as large an attendance. 1t is
the first time In several years that
south Georgia has had a convention,
and the good people of this section are
showing how they can entertain.
