TURPINS START
$25,OOO SHOW
ROOM AT ONCE
One of Finest Auto
Plants In South To
Be Built

Ground will be broken next week
on the new Turpin automobile build
ing at the corner of Lee and Lamar
streets, on the site of the old "Buz-
yards Roost" which has been wrecked
and cleared away. Announcement
to this effect was made by Will G.
Turpin, for the members of the firm.
Building permit for the structure was
taken out yesterday, showing the
estimated cost to be $4,000. 1t is
considered likely the cost may run
considerably beyond that figure.
Detailed plans and specifications
have been, prepared by the architect
and are ready for handing over the
workmen. The construction will not
be done by contract, Mr.. Turpin SAID,
but by day labor under the snpervis-
ion of a superintendent who has al
ready been employed
The structure planned will be one
of the handsomest automobile build
ings in the South. 1t will not be
/ limited to show rooms, either, there
being a great deal of storage space
in which will be utilized for stock, re-
pair and other service work. The
new structure, which will connect
with the already very large building
adjoining the lot in the rear, will
have a frontage on Lee street of
over Al feet and on Lamar street
of 83 1-2 feet. with an ell extending
in the rear of the water tower for
a distance of 78 feet from Lamar
street.
The building will be two stories
in height, with two very ornamental
fronts. The entire frontage on the
lower floor will of plate glass, with
prism glass above it. Either white
pressed brick or red vitrified brick
will be used. The interior of the
show room, which front on Lee
street. will have tile floor, white
pressed steel ceiling, and otherwise
be substantial and attractive in de-
sign and finish. In the rear will be
large electric elevator for the lift
ing of autos to the second floor. The
entire second floor of both the old
and the new buildings will be utiliz-
ed for the storage of cars and other
purposes. The repair and paint shop
will be moved to this floor, among
other things
"And when we have tinisncd We
are going to giye service" said M
Turpih. at will be the highest class
service that can be obtained. We
are going to have the best men OBJ
tainable-experts in all their lines
regardless of what they cost. Only
yesterday l offered a man we want
ed $50 per week to come with US.
We are going out after only high
class men and intend to get them.
With that kind of men we'll be able
to give a brand of service never be-
fore known in this section"

ITCH POWDER PRODUCES
HAVOC IN NEGRO MOVIE

ATLANTA, Sept. 12.-In the semi
darkness of the "81" theater, ne
gro motion picture house on Deca-
tur street, one of the ushers yester-
day afternoon halted in the middle of
the aisle and began what appeared
to be a cross between the shimmy and
the st. Vitus dance.
A dusky maiden nearby began to
lose interest in the picture and to
twist about in her seat in most un-
lady-like fashion. Her escort tagged
at his collar and others in the house
speedily became exceedingly rest
less with the type of restlessness
known to the cootie inhabited dough-
boy.
Pretty soon the spectators began
to file out by ones and twos, scratch
ing ndustriously. Finally the source
OF the trouble was traced to Prince
swan and Henry Brown, two negro
boys, who appeared to be enjoying
the situation immensely.
Henry and Prince, it developed, had
scattered Etching powders" over the
seats and on the floor and awaited re-
suits. They drew fines of $26 each
IN recorders court, and H. G. Ar
ehe a clerk at the Trick Novelty
company, was fined $11 for selling
the powders.

resented several thousand dollars.
This is a remarkable record

HALE ASKS AMERICUS TO
JOIN EXPORT COMPANY

At the conclusion of a brief talk
at the Chamber of Commerce yester-
day by Matthew Hale, head of the
Southeast shipping organizations, a
committee of five Americus business
men was appointed to take up Mr..
Hale's proposal for this city to be-
ONE identified with the organiza-
tions which he represents. This com
mittee, appointed by President John
Sheffield, of the Chamber of Com
merce, who presided at the meeting,
is composed of l.. G. Council, G. w.
Riley, J. E. Hightower, Frank La
nier and w. NJ. Jones.
Mr. Hale, who heads the South At
lantic Maritime corporation and the
South Atlantic Export company,
pointed out what these two organi-
cations are doing for the develop
ment, industrial and commercial, of
the Southeast. He showed how Am
ercus might profit by having part
of the movement and asked that ship
pers here take $4,000 stock in the
Export company. This is part of
Georgia's allotment of 100000 of
the total of 100000 stock. 1t is
the aim of the company not only to
draw midwestern shipping to the
ports of this section, but te develop
the Southeast industrially so that
the goods which are to be exported
to South and Central America and
other parts of the world through
these ports will be manufactured in
their immediate territory.

RESUMPTION OF TRADE
 WITH THE CENTRAL POWERS

| The active preparation for re- l sumption of trade between the coun- | tries recently at war is not a matter of surprise, said lecturer in Inc | Educational Department of The Ma tional City Bank of New York, com menting on the steps now being taken 1 in that direction. l"The pre-war trade between the Central Powers and the Allies and their associates. he added amounted to nearly $3,009. 900 900 a year, which of itself would suggest a reasonably prompt return to former relations, while the history of all 1919-shows in every instance not only a prompt return to trading re- lationS but an increase of trade be- tween countries nnly a moment earlier at war"
 Trade between France and Ger many sollowing their war of 1s70-71 was not only promptly resumed but promptly increased. The imports of France from Germany in the year be fore that war, 1859, were $50. .oo0, 900 and in 1872 the year following the war, were approximately $70Do 900 and aggregated $66,o00, 900 a year dur ing the five years following the war. Germany imported from France in 1889, s6O,ooo,o 900 worth of merchandise and in the five years following the war her imports from France aver aged sS3.00o, ee0 q year.
 Another striking example of trade
  latiens is found in the figures of our own trade with Spain prior to and following our war with that country.
 The imports of the United States from Spain in 1897, the year prior to that war. were in round terms $4,0B0,- 900, and in the five years following that war averaged e.oDe,000 per an- mum. while our exports to that coun- try which were $11,000,000 a year pre- ceeding the war advanced to an aver age of s14,000.0O0 year in the five years which followed it. In the case of the Russo Japanese war, the ex- ports of Japan to Russia in the five years following that struggle aver aged twice as much per annum as iA the year proceeding that war.
 The volume of the pre-war com merce between the Central Powers and the Allies and their associates was very large, larger perhaps than is usually realized and aggregated nearly s3.oo0 oo0, 900 8 year. Our own trade with Germany, Austria Hun 1 gary and Turkey aggregated nearly | $500, ,0o0. 900 in our fiscal year 1914, all | than $500, 900 of this was with | Germany alone, about s5O.o00, 900 with | Austria Hungary and s25 900. 900 with | Turkey Our exports to Germany in | the year preceding the war amounted 1 to s33o.Do0.oe0, to Austria Hungary s23, ooo, 900 and to Turkey about S5,- ,oe, 900, while from Germany our i'm ports were SIso. .ooo, 900, Austria Hun yary s2e, e,eo0,e 900 and Turkey over s2o,- ,ee, ,ooe.

Ieba- non, met an auto truck loaded with merry -go-round material. The horses took fright. backed and got beyond control of MT. Goldstein. crashing through the state road fence and down ten-foot embankment. The whole outfit was piled up in a heap at the foot of the emba znent. but only two of the people were slightly injured the horses escaped injury and the wa gon was fit to resume the journey when it was got back onto the road.
