Georges Idle Three Months

Aside from these little pleasantries,
there is lighter, brighter, side to
the pugilistic picture. Yesterday Tex
Richard announced that he has a num-
Der of bouts in prospect for his Jer-
sey City arena, provided the Rev.
Crafts leaves enough of the structure
standing to seat few customers.
Carpenter, while willing to meet
any man in the world, outside of Demp-
sey, that Richard picks for him, will
not be able to engage in bout again
that long for his broken right hand
to mend sufficiently to stand the rigors
of a fight. This would bring Carpcn-
tier into the ring about October /,
probably against Tom Gibbons, of St..
Paul.
Tom has assured Richard he is will
ing to battle with Georges. Richard
is also dickering for worlds light
weight championship match between
Benny Leonard, the holder, and Lew
Tender, of Philadelphia, and hopes to
stage this event around Labor Day, if
Tender can keep his courage up that
long.
In the mean time, just to convince
| the skeptics that ALPS we'll with the
world, Charlie Harvey, international
ring dillettante and citizen of the world,
called up last night to say that his
new English middleweight, Gus Platts
who also holds the championship of
Europe, is in this mans country and
ready to knock 'em dead,
Platts weighs 1856 pounds, is short
sturdy and blond, and nothing makes
him sick. Gus arrived just in time to
see the Dempsey Carpenter bout and
then confided to Charlie that nothing
would suit him better than bout with
Johnny Wilson, the American middle
weight title holder, to be fought il
Richards arena on the day Carpenter
and Gibbons hook up. Wilson is will
ing-that's all.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

Editor Times Recorder - In pre-
senting you with copy of the Roam
oke World-News, containing a short
communication, giving as the writer
thought a conservative description of
some the superior advantages of this
section of the Great Southland, little
did he think your editorship would
presume to sidetrack the motives of
the writer in such strong language
and butcher his communication. If
you had published the communication
as requested, emitting the unauthoriz-
ed comments, much space as well as
the unsavored criticism would have
been saved.
In describing the thermometer rag
istrations of the summer heat in Am

able from a strictly financial stand
point. He expressed the opinion
based on investigation nthat the pro-
posed bonds would be retired within
five years or possibly earlier, and
that the income from the venture
would also create & sinking fund for
the improvement and maintenance Of
the playground.

" to endorse the movement and to
lend any aid desired to bring about

peaches shipped from this section,
beg leave to refer YOU to Mr. R L.
Lee, of Rochelle, Ga, and a number
of other reliable Georgia citizens
that will confirm the writer's state
ments, that over ten thousand cars
of Georgia peaches were shipped
from Fort Valley alone, saying moth
ing Of the adjoining counties. The
writer would also add as informa-
ton for the T,mes-Recordeg that ac-
cording to government statistics, over
100000 have been realized this
season from the peach crop of Geor-
gia. Now Mr.. Editor, please figure
out the number of car loads nects-
sarY to reach this enormous sum Of
money. 1t seems passing strange,
that any Southern newspaper, in view
of the depressing conditions that
have existed in the South since the
Civil War, would deliberately with
hold from the outside world any
news of a laudable character, dilat-
ing on the superior advantages of our
Southland both from a climatic and
agricultural standpoint! The writer
would place especial emphasis on
the above at this time when the
South is now being slandered in so
many ways by her enemies, both po-
lltically and morally. In conclusion
let me add, if a little more conserva-
tive boosting were inaugurated by
out leading newspapers of the South,
showing to the outside world the su-
perior advantages of our climate IL. d
our soil Tor diversified farming, .hG
great tide of homeseekers would soon

( Western country to our more inviting
