Hopkins, incidentally, is still
. very young man to carry the
responsibilities Of q trainer in
such an important stable as the
Whitney colors boast, and he
has q hobby for developing
youngsters such as "Sonny" and
Tony Greco, who is coming
along nicely in the saddle.
Young Workman, whose
name is a by-word wherever
horses are discussed, in q very
short space Of time has come to
be the leading money jockey of
the country. Everywhere this
winter, the bugs have turned to
wagering on q jockey rather
than the mount and that Jockey
is Workman. He has carried
millions Of dollars every time
he's had q leg up within the
last month, and he's brought
most of it back to his sup
porters with excellent interest.
Three and four winners q
day have often been his lot
at Miami and his average is
well nigh two q day. He has
been in the money so often
within his brief career that he
has lost entire count Of his
place and show record.
Going away from home for
the first time in his life at
the close Of the northern sea-
son last autumn, Sonny made
his meteoric success despite the
pangs Of inconsistencies and
lonesomeness for his mother and
two brothers and two sisters.
The father not being alive, the
hopes of that family rested
very heavily upon this juvenile,
and with the help of Hopkins
and Trainer Nose Goldblatt he
has been converted into one of
the most valuable jocks Of cur
rent track history.
He has purchased q home for
his mother and he is, in the
middle Of his teens, sponsor
ing the. education Of his brothers
and sisters. You can't look at
nor talk to Sonny Workman,
midget in size and giant in
achievements, without the
strains Of "Baby Face, You've
Got the Cutest, Etc" running
through your mind.

NO CLOUD NOW SEEN
ON BUSINESS SKIES
SAYS GOV. WELLBORN
Head of Atlanta Federal Bank Also
Predicts Higher Prices for
Cotton This Season

ATLANTA, Ga.,-There is no
cloud on the business horison of A
merica. Unquestionably good condi-
tions prevail throughout the country
with not a flaw to check the general
prosperity. Higher prices are seen
/ for cotton.
This, in brief, is the opinion of
Governor M. B. Wellborn, of the
Federal reserve bankers whom the.
Atlanta banker met on recent con-
ference in the national capital.
Governor Wellborn, in a special
statement today to the correspondent
of this newspaper, said that indica-
tions are strongly for higher prices
for cotton this season, as the result
of materially increased expectation of
the south's great product, together
| with marked increase in American
consumption and projects of mark
ed curtailment Of production.
The Atlanta banker commenting on
Georgia's-as we'll as the entire
utheast-industrial progress said
that textile conditions in this state
was excellent with many mills operat-
ing day and night schedule.
In addition to forced curtailment
of cotton production by Mississippi
Valley Floods, and the movement to
decrease planting of large cotton
crops, increased American consumpt-
ion and expectation of cotton are fac
tors expected to react in boosting
prices this season, Mr.. Wellborn
stated.
Europe is getting back on better
basis, with a greater consumption
power, said Governor Wellborn.
"The lower price of cotton also has
bolstered consumption of cotton here
and abroad"
