TY COBB GAME
AND GOLDEN RULE
SALE SAME DATE
Ad Club Votes To Move Next
Monthly Sale Up One Day
For Events

The next Golden Rule sale prom.
ises to be the biggest day in the
history of Americus. At a meeting
of the Advertising club held this
week at the Carnegie library for the
purpose of formulating plans for the
April sale, it was decided to hold il
on April a, the first Tuesday for that
month only, instead of the first Wed.
nesday, in order to permit it to CO.
incide with the visit to Americus OF
Ty Cobb's Detroit American and
George Stalhng's Rochester lnterna-
tonal baseball teams for an eXhi-
bition game that afternoon. A track
and field athletic meet for the schools
of the Third district is also TO be
held on the forenoon of that day,
and all the schols in Sumter coun-
ty will be closed for the day to per-
nit the pupils to attend.
Because of the wide interest in
these two events and particularly the
visit here Of Ty Cobb and the two
baseball teams, which will draw vis-
itor from a radius Of more than 100
miles-it was deemed inadvisable~ta=
hold the sale on its regularly sched-
uled day, which would be the fol-
lowing day. That there will be no
conflict in any manner, but on the
other hand that the sale will be an
added attraction for the other events,
just as they will be added attractions
for the sale, was generally recogniz-
ed. Inasmuch as trading on these
special days usually is well over by
early afternoon, the merchants feel
that they and their employees who
care to do so will be able to get
away for a couple of hours during
the afternoon to witness the base
ball same.
Principal John M. France, of the
Third District Agricultural school,
which is sponsoring the athletic meet,
has nearly completed plans and pro-
gram for the big occasion, and COM
plete details will be published short
ly. New details concerning the ap-
pearance of Ty Cobb and the two
baseball teams also will be forth
coming at an early date.
The merchants were very enthusi-
astic at the meeting over the pros
pects for the next sale, and have
gone to work in earnest to make 1t
great event. After considerable
discussion Of the present mailing list
it was agreed that it is inadequate,
reaching far too few people in the
immediate territory, and it was de-
termined to send out men in cars tc
distribute personally the next circu-
lar in every nook and corner of the
county, they at that time securing
names from which to build up new
and more complete mailing list. The
present list circulates almost eXclu-
sively among the whites, fact which
the club intends to correct, as well
as adding the names Of a great many
white people and at the same time
extending to all a personal invitation
to attend the next sale. Several cars
and men volunteered for this service
and others are to be enlisted.

The lot consisted of 116 head of

offered in long time. Ninety per
cent Of the animals, he stated, could
have been fed profitably for another
thirty days, many of them being IN
prime condition for taking OF fat at
the lowest cost. A great many which
graded No. 2 weighed around $50
pounds, weight to which Is or 20
pounds added would have produced

advantage and profit.

STOCK SALE AT RICHLAND
GOLDEN RULE FEATURE

RICHLAND, March 10.-Wednes-
day was Golden Rule sale day at
Richland. Three carloads of hogs
were sold at auction, the car load
of No. Is bringing $3.50 per 100
pounds. The lower grades brought
rorrespondingly good prices. There
were buyers from Moultrie, Atlanta
and other points and the bidding was
exciting at all times.
A car of cattle was sold also, which
brought the highest market price.
The sales amounted to over $4,000.
If it had not been for the heavy rain
Monday, making it impossible for
numbers of wagons of hogs to get
across the washout on the roads, at
least another car load of hogs would
have been brought in.
One man from Preston brought Il
wagon load of hogs to the sale, re-
gardless of washouts and bridges
gone
When he came to a creek the bridge
over which had been washed away,
he carried the pigs across in his arms
to a wagon on the other side and
then brought them on into town.
An unknown buyer came into town
Tuesday and bought a carload of
hogs on the quiet, most of the hogs
being ones that were promised to the
Golden Rule sale. The best price
he gave was slightly over eight cents
per pound, which was more than a
quarter of a cent less than that got
ten Wednesday.
This was decidedly the biggest
Golden Rule sale day Riehland has
ever had. The trade at the stores
was excellent, the mer.<iants report
ed. There were so many people and
vehicles in town that it looked like
a circus day.

HOLLOW CLAIMS.

In one OF the latest claims made by

serted that the Harding administra-
ton has reduced Federal expenditures
and the public debts by an aggregate
of $4,000. 900 900.
Just why Mr.. Adams stopped claim
ing when he reached this figure is
not made clear. There was no rea-
son. go far as his disregard Of the
facts was concerned. why he should
not have claimed reductions OF $780,
600 ,OO0. 900. The latter total would
have taken a few more ciphers, that's
ar--and they mean nothing 10 q good
claimer like Mr.. Adams.
Being engrossed with his own
claims, Mr.. Adams overlooked men
tioning that the Wilson administra-

/ 1918. and March 4, 1921. This is more
than twice the amount OF the reduo-
