GOVERNOR PLANS
EARLY TRIP HERE
Coming within Three
Weeks In Interest Of
Cotton Bank

Governor Hugh Dorsey will make a
visit to Americus within the next
three weeks, according to word re-
ceived in a telegram by the Times
Recorder. His trip will be in the
interest of the Georgia Cotton Bank
and Trust corporation which he is
promoting as the financing adjunct to
the American Cotton Association,
now in the process of permanent or
ganizatiun fer business.
"The governor is arranging a route
for the next three weeks read the
telegram from S. J. Slate, of Colum-
bus, who is associated with the gov
ernment in the project, "and Ameri-
Gus will be included. viii notify
you just as soon as the route is
agreed upon"
The governors heart and soul are
wrapped up in this great project
which is expected to do so much in
bringing the cotton grower into his
own and place the control of his pro-
ject in his own hands. He has also
spoken in its behalf in several points
IN Georgia, and has the organization
work advanced far enough to make it
appear cerCain of success. Thus far
Sumter county has not played great
part in the movement. More than
% counties in the state have sub
scribed their full puotas," writes Mr..
Slate in letter to the Times-Recor-
der. The quota for the county of
Sumter is 424 shares, of which 20
have been subscribed"
1t will be the purpose of the gov
ernor to enlighten the people of the
community upon what the cotton
bank will do for them and how i'm
portant it is.

HOOVER FRIENDS
SIGN PETITIONS
Surprising Showing Is
Made On Lists With
Little Effort

The circulation of petitions re-
questing the Democratic state exec
utive committee to permit the voters
of Georgia to express their prefer
ence for president of the United
States without restriction, and to per-
nit the name of Herbert Hoover to
go on the primary ticket, as asked
by the requisite number of petition
ers, struck a popular chord in Areri-
Gus, it appeared from the avidlty
with which a number of voters sub
scribed their names Friday and Sat-
urday. Although almost no actual
work was done with the petitions,
surprisingly large showing was made
by volunteers, indicating the correct
ness of the earlier statement that
there is plenty of Hoover sentiment
here. Several or the signers were
bitter in their denunciation of the
action of the subcommittee of the
executive committee in ruling Hoov-
er's name off the ballot, although
regularly filed.

ries of articles written from Ameri-

AMERICUS, Marcn Captain
John A. Cobb, a distinguished Con-
federate veteran and a Democrat of
sixty years standing, was the first to
sign his name today to a petition
requesting the subcommittee on
rules of the Democratic state execu
tive committee to place the name of
Herbert Hoover on the ballot of the
preferential primary to be held in
Sumter April 20.-The petition will
be given a thorough circulation in
Sumter county and will be forward
ed to Hiram Gardner, secretary of
the state committee and of the sub
committee, when it is ready.
Captain Cobb is son of the ia
nous Howell Cobb, who was Demo
cratic speaker of the national house
of representatives. Captain Cobb
voted his first Democratic ticket in
the presidential election of 1858 when
Buchanan was elected, In the next
Democratic convention, held in Balti-
more, Captain Cobb was delegate
from Georgia and voted for Breck-
enbridge and Lane, the Democratic
nominees. In every presidential cleo
ion from 1858 TO 1916, inclusive,
Captain Cobb has voted the Demo
cratic ticket. He voted for Greely,
who had not previously been a Demo-
crat, and voted for Hancock, who
probably had never cast Democratic
ballot in his life.
Raised With Judge Hillyer.
Captain Cobb's credentials as a
Democrat, therefore, are certainly

WOR.KIN' GIRLS
BEST MODELS?
Sure-Artist Says Their
Type More Suitable.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Fat and fabby
models Of the Turkish harem" type
are passed in American art, accord
ing to J. Allen St. John, we'll known
American painter, here today.
In place of "Fatima," painters and
sculptors are using wholesome Amer
lean girls for models.
Working girls, st. John said, are
in great demand as models because
their type is more suitable for pos
ing.
At present. st. John said, there is
a shortage in models, due to high
wages being paid IN industries.
Artists and sculptork are paying
a dollar an hour and VI for posing.
Working girls make the best
models because they have the self
control to hold a pose for a long
period" said st. John.
Girls who are indolent and don't
have to pose are fat and flabby.
Artists don't use these models
any more.
THE ideal model depends on the
subject he said. For one subject
a skinny legged model is required
and for another one with neat ankles
and a good figure.
ITO become a good model it is
necessary to exercise and learn to
concentrate.
Golf, swimming or tennis make
the body strong and concentration
gives the mind control over the
body" he said.

Turn Down German on
Mars Communication

PARIS, Oct. 2T.-The French Academy
Of Science has Just turned down the offer
made by n German scientist. whose name
is not given, who says he is able to get
into communication with Mars.
At the same time this professor says
he Is n candidate for the prize of 100000
francs offered by Madame GuEman to the
first scientist Of any nationality who sue
ceeds in conversing or communicating
with any planet.
The German. however, has forgotten
that Madame Guzman specially stipulated
that the planet Mars was excluded from
the competition.
French scientists do not believe 1t is
yet possible to communicate with any
planet.
Perhaps this will be possible in one
hundred years time said a member Of
the academy.
But the scientist who will succeed In
doing so is not yet born, not even in
Germany"
