Last night was probably the

three-year battle and celebrated its

AMERICUS HOST
TO MACON GOOD
WILL TOURISTS
Motorcade Entertained at
Luncheon; Speeches By Steve
Pace and LoveIace Eve

One hundred prominent Macon
business men, headed by R. L. Nc
Kinney, editor and publisher of the
Macon News, spent two hours in
Americas today and were guests of
Americas citizens at a luncheon at
the Windsor hotel in one of the
most delightful and informal get
acquainted gatherings in recent
months.
The Macon motorcade was met on
the Dixie highway by ten or IL
local automobiles containing about
40 citizens. Headed by local au-
tomobile bearing Steve Pace, chair
man of the local entertainment
committee, the motorcade wended
their way through the business Sec
tion of Americas, ending at the
Windsor hotel, where Chief Bragg
had closed the street for a block.
Immediately on disembarking from
their cars the Macon band gave a
short concert, followed by speeches
from the steps of the Windsor by
P. 7. Anderson, Macon Telegraph,
and R. L. Mckinney, of the Ma
con News. Both speakers en-
phasized the necessity of co-ordi-
mated effort on part of Georgians
toward advertising to Georgia and
the outside world the phenomenal
advantages awaiting development in
the state.
After the short addresses the 100
Maconites together with rs or 80
local business men enjoyed an in.
formal luncheon in the main dining
room of the Wilkinson hotel.
Lovelace Eve, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, welcomed
the visitors to, Sumter county and
Americas, stating in his short talk
that the Macon business men were
now in the Heart Of Dixie"
Steve Pace, speaking for Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county, told the
visitors that they were in a county
which since the days of the Indians
had never known a complete crop
failure; spoke of Sumter's splendid
system of roads and stated that the
South today was pointing to Sum-
ter county as a guide for rural
school development and in disease
control.
Mr.. Pace stated that during the
present year, while other sections
had suffered from the unprecend-
ented drouth, Sumter county had
received a splendid financial profit
from her peach crops, great cotton
crop, hogs. which will be shipped in
car load lots and a pecan crop which
promises to be financially profit
able.
W. T. Anderson, Allen Mcdonald,
R. L. Mckinney, Lincoln, McCon-
nell, Jr., and other Macon speakers

the fact that the good
will tour was organized and is be-
ing conducted purely as a get-ac-
