GROUP INCORPORATES TO

Application for a charter has been
filed in Superior court by a group

COTTON GOES TO
70 CENTS HERE;
LITTLE SELLING
Continued Rains Throughout Belt
Cause Future Deliveries To
Soar

Strict middling cotton sold for 20
cents on the Americas spot market
today, but little was to be had at
that price. On the strength of con-
tinued rains throughout the cotton
belt, which have seriously lowered
the crop prospects by retarding culti
walton and increasing boil weevil in
festation, the future markets scared
to new positions for the present bull
movement and there were many who
believed the market would go still
higher.
Much of the cotton held for 20
cents in Americus is in round lots
for all of which that price is de-
manded. 1t will require few more
points in the rise to bring a price
of 2 0cents for round lots. 1t is
said a thousand or more bales are
held for that price with orders to
sell when it is reached.

DOUGHERTY TO PAVE TO
MITCHELL. COUNTY LINE

ALBANY, May 26.-Motorists
coming into Albany from the south
soon will be able to ride the entire
distance from the Mitchell county line
on asphalt pavement, as the Dough
erty county commissioners will oe-
gin work in day or two on another
section of paving that will carry the
hard-surface to the county line, a
distance of eleven miles. There is
now a stretch of three and one-fourth
miles paved, leaving seven and three
fourth miles to be paved on the new
project. The cost of the paving will
be Approximately $4,000, of which
the state highway department will
pay one-half with federal funds. The
county by use of it's convicts, will
reduce its part still fruther. Dough-
erty county has $208,OOO of her road
bond money, voted in 1919, of which
only about one-seventh will be used
on this project, leaving enough TO
do much more paving in the county.

that she will not have much faith in

There is, however, a constant and
marked improvements along this line.
1t is due largely, we like to think,
to the development of the Better
Business Bureaus of the A. A. C. of
w. in all the large centers of COM
merce.
A complete return of prosperity
must wait upon the stabilizing of la
Dor and ofJprices. IT must also wait
upon a resumptio nof foreign trade
based upon payment in acceptable Sc
curities, since foreign gold has almost
given out, and foreign goods in large
volume cannot find a place in our
markets for some time to come.
In the meantime, however, the
situation is improving slowly but
surely from day to day, and there is
no occasion for pessimism

Who was it that didn't go to the
Fashion Show last night?
We Just want to tell you what a
treat you missed. Even the mer-
chants and the ladies in charge were
elated over the results. For the
first time in the history of the Ry-
lander theater the S. r. sign was
displayed, and the success of the oc-
casion far exceeded the hopes of
those interested.
Much praise is due Mrs. W. H. c..
Dudley, president of the Music Study
club, under whose auspices the enter
tainment was given; to the other
ladies who c3-operated with her; to
the merchants who entered so hearth
ly into the affair; to the models, who
playe dtheir parts to perfection; to
the Bathing Beauties, not only in
name, but face and figure, who won
more applause than any other ore
number; to a group of girls from
the High School Glee club who rem
dered Japanese chorus in attractive
costumes, that "a decided hit; to the
High School Orchestra, directed by
Miss Ella Polk, an organization do
ing credit to professionals; to +. r.
Royal, who so ably directed the
Fashion show; to wonderful Gypsy
dance by Miss Susan Stallings, to a
fairy-like Interpretation of "Humor-
eque, by Florrie Warren and all 9TH
ers taking part.
The program opened with num-
Der hv the High School Orchestra and
"Ni-Mo-San," by the High School
Glee club.
Evening dresses from the Fashion
Shop worn by Miss Edith Creighton,
Mrs. Henry Lumpllin, Miss Geraldine
Payne, Miss Gertrude Davenport, and
Edith Shy were first shown. A pret-
tier lot fevening gowns was never
seen in Americus. If one of these
could be said to be prettier than the
other, it may be that Miss Creigh-
toms, at least in the opinion of the
writer, was the prettiest worn dur
ing ths evening.
Miss Agnes Gatewood was the pic

r. Parkman won second prize.
Rain and lowering clouds large
part of the day caused a much small
er number Of people to attend the
dinner than had been expected, but
despite the weather a good number
were on hand. The grove where the
dinner was to have been served was
beautiful, but before the hour for
serving arrived the rain began falling
and the diners moved into the dining
room Of one of the school dormi-
tories.
There was no program for the oc-
casion because of the inability of DR..
A. M. Soule, of the state college of
agriculture, to be here on account
of sickness. In his absence George
0. Marshall, county agent, made a
brief talk appropriate to the occasion.
Miss Bonnie Parkman, county agent,
under whose direction the dinner was
arranged, was present and assisted
in handling the details of the affair.
The committee judging the dinner
baskets for prizes was composed of
Mrs. George Van Riper, Mrs. S. H.
Mckee and Mrs. l.. A. Morgan, of
Fort Meade, Fla.
