CENSORSHIP BOARD
FOR MOVIES WINS
House Bill Is Practically Amended,
However, Before Favorable Report
Is Agreed Upon by Committee.

Atlanta, July 2l-Charges that
the minds o: young boys and girls
OF the state are being corrupted by
the class of moving pictures which
are being shown in the state were an
swered by counter charges that. the
appointment of censors would in
fringe too much on the personal lib

tee of the senate, held Tuesday after

TOBACCO MARKETS
OPENING DAY SPEAKS
WELL FOR CROP
Prices Good and Prospects Fine.
Both Buyers and Growers Well
Pleased.

The local tobacco market opened
with satisfactory prices Tuesday
morning, prices ranging from 10 to
II cents per pound, two left over
piles from last year, poorly cured.
were among the low priced sales.
Practically every large tobacco
company had its representatives on
the floor and the bidding was spirited
on the better class of tobacco, which
reflected itself in the prices paid.
- Growers were not anxious to sell as
the limited offerings evidenced but
the good prices paid for the tobacco
will no doubt bring the weed on the
floor.
Compared with the opening sales
day of last season, prices were sew
eral hundred points higher and the
quality OF tobacco offered was cor
respondingly better, especially in it's
appearance and quality of curing.
The new system of offering the
crop in baskets, introduced in Geor-
gia by the progressive firm of the
Dickey Tobacco Warehouse Co. gives
the tobacco a better chance and SELF
ers as well as buyers are we'll pleased
with the system.
Announcement was made that
hereafter the Market will open at 10
a. m instead of II a. m. as previously
advertised. Only one sale will be
held each day and farmers should see
to it that their tobacco is on the floor
by 10 o'clock a. m.
One of the features outstanding in
the management of the Dickey To-
bacco Warehouse, was the kerr inter-
est taken on behalf of the grower,
by Mr.. Dickey himself and his able
floor manager, Mr. Mclaughlin.
About $4,000 was the aggregate of
the first days sales.

CRISP rs IN LINE
FOR SPEAKERSHIP
If Democrats Win Next National
House-Speaker Will Be Either
Crisp or Claude Kitchin.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Geor-
gia or North Carolina may furnish
the next speaker of the national house
Of Representatives in the event of
Democratic success in November.
1t is more than an even bet, DEM
ocratic members of the house said
today, that either Claude Kitchin of
the Tar Heel State, or Judge Charles
R: Crisp, of the Third Georgia dis
tr1ct, may be chosen next March if
the democrats organize the lower
branch of congress.
Democratic success is confidently
expected by party men here and not
in the stereotyped manner of stage
politicians who pay no heed to the
straws in the wind. The Cox-Roose-
welt ticket, the chieftains declare, has
struck a popular cord and is sure
to win out over the republican oil
garchy personified in Candidate

BYNN-YANN CO.'S
FUNDS ATTACHED
Dissatisfied Investors Tie Up Money
in Local Banks.

- Attachments were taken out this
morning for money deposited in both
banks by dissatisfied investors in
stock in the Bynn-Yann Co., Inc
OF Memphis. Tenn, who have had a
representative here for several weeks
taking subscriptions for stock in a
self serving" store to be operated
here by this company. On account
of variously made statements by their
solicitor in re to their responsibility
and assets of the company, subscrib-
ers became suspicious and made closer
inquiries. Dunn's mercantile report
failed to give the concern any rating
and on inquiry sent to Secretary Of
State Mr.. McLendon at Atlanta,
whether the company was authorized
to sell stock under the Blue Sky Law
in Georgia, telegram was received
stating that no such company had au-
!. hority to do business in Georgia or
bad made application to do so. Fear
ing that the money paid in might be
drawn out by the Memphis concern
several investors jointly took out at
tachments for their payments and
tied up the funds of the company.

AUTO ACCIDENT
LAST NIGHT
Young Burke Edwards Struck by
Automobile on Rochelle Road; In
juries Prove Fatal.

A sad but unavoidable accident on
the Lynnwood road about $50 last
evening caused the death of Burke
Edwards, popular young man.
While taking a stroll with other
young people, an automobile stopped
and its driver requested information
about the road to- Cordele, when Ed
wards stepped up to the car and
volunteered the desired directions.
About that time a car came south on
the road, which Edwards managed to
avoid, but failed to see a car coming
north, which struck him before its
driver knew of anyone being in the
road. The driver stopped immedi-
ately and assisted parties in carrying
Edwards into nearby house.
Before medical assistance could be
had the unfortunate young man ex-
plred. He leaves widowed mother
and other relatives to mourn his un-
timely death. The accident happened
about hundred yards north of the
Cecilia Railroad crossing on the Lynn
wood road
