M’ CLATCHEY TO
MANAGE DRIVE
OFCOTTONBODY
ATLANTA, August 30.—D. F.
McClatchey, secretary of the Geor
gia Senate, former reading clerk of
the Georgia House, former executive
secertary of the Georgia Food Ad
ministration and who was loaned to
the government by the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, all-round
good fellow and one of the most
poplar men in Georgia, was today
appointed campaign manager of the
Georgia division of the American
Cotton Association, which is conduct
ing a big membership drive through
out the state.
The state headquarters of the as
sociations, which have been tempor
arily located in the Arcade building,
adjoining the national headquarters
of the association, will be moved to
the Senate Chamber at the State
Capitol Monday morning.
Campaign Manager McClatchey
will be closely asociated in his new
work with Secretary-Treasurer J. A.
Davis, of the Georgia division of the
American Cotton Association. Mr.
Davis, who is a a well known banker
and farmer of Sardis, Ga., is himself
an organizer and developer of rare
ability. Both men will be assisted
•by other officals and committeemen
of the state organization.
Reports received at the state head
quarters during the last few days in
dicate that Georgia will lead many
of the Southern states in its mem
bership campaign. Many voluntary
pledges of support have corile from
sections which have not yet been
.reached by the campaign committee.
The campaign runs until October 1
and by that time every “nook and
corner” of Georgia wil be covered.
“So firmly do I believe that the
future of the cotton farmer of Geor
gia and the South is wrapped up in
the American Cotton Association,
that I have laid aside my personal
affairs, and have come to Atlanta to
devote my energies to this cause
which appeals to me as no other
movement ever launched has done,”
said Mr. Davis. “I firmly believe
that we shall have a million mem
bers in the association by October
1, and that figure will not remain
stationary for any length of time.
The only way that we can put cot
ton where it ought to be in price
is through the organization of the
farmers themselves and this is rapid
ly coming to pass in our present
organization.”
HOOKS TAKES AGENCY
FOR SUPERIOR TRUCKS
The Hooks Motor Company an
nounced Saturday that during the
week they had sold two Chalmers,
1919 models; on to Cullen King, of
Elkville, and the' other to T. M.
Lowry, Jr., of Plains “Me also
have cleared out a number of rebuilt
cars this week, ’ J. D. Hooks said.
Di Thad Wise purchase! a Peer-J
k-s too. Business is pick, i; up right
a: eng. I
“We have secured recently the
local agency for the famous Georgia
made Superior truck. We have been
afterthis truck for a long time, and
are fortunate in securing it. In pur-:
chasing a truck, the most important
single point is the service that can'
be rendered the purchaser after he
has been running his truck for a
while. The Superior is made in At
lanta by my friends, the Willing
hams. When anything goes wrong,
a part is lost or broken, we can call
up over the phone and have the part
here next morning. This is one rea
son why we selected the Superior.
And, then, too, it is made right here
in Georgia, and we believe in sup
porting home production when every
thing else is equal. A carload of
these trucks arrived today.”
Daily Thought.

are necessary; to honor him present,

; The Public Mind
Editor, Times-Recorder: —While I
was out of the city for several days
you were kind enough to write,“The
Skipper Leaves The Helm.” For
this I am writing to thank you. First
of all I appreciate the ability of a
live newspaper above all things else
to build and develop its’city and its
section and its institution. I am
glad that the Times-Recorder is still
left at the helm as a builder. Just
40 years in educational work, inci
dently and otherwise I have known
the politics of the State of Geor
gia for 25 years; appointed by three
governors, Terrell, Brown and Harris
for terms of six years each as trus
tee of the State Normal school; four
years a member of the Democratic
Executive Committee, two year. in
the legislature and ten years as
chairman of the Congressional Ex
ecutive Committee. Just a few of
the little things. A farm of over two
thousand acres has never had me at
the “helm.” But my one purpose is
to sincerely thank you. Respect
fully, J. M. COLLUM.

Why We Selected the
| SUPERIOR MOTOR TRUCK
5 in Preference to all Others
| Carload Now in and Ready for Immediate Delivery I
I
* IN SECURING THE AGENCY OF THE SUPERIOR TRUCK WE |
J HAD SEVERAL REASONS IN MIND. AMONG THEM: -
: ..... I
i FIRST—The Supe-ior Truck is a Georgia product, built in Atlanta, within six
• hours of Americus. When a question of parts or service comes up ?
we do not have to wait for days to hear from a great distance. The J
builders of the truck are where we can talk to them personally and t j
! immediately adjust all troubles.
SECOND —Before taking the agency we investigated all trucks and deter
mined in our own minds that we had secured a truck that was the
equal of any and the superior of MANY. We found a truck that
was extraordinarily popular in its home town. J
THIRD—The mechanical construction met our ideas of what a truck should
» be, ideas gained after years of experience in the handling and us-
ing of Trucks. We found each unit in the SUPERIOR absolutely
standard. We found the SUPERIOR is driven by Red Seal Con-
J tinental truck motors, which has no superior for power and endur
ance, a motor peculiarly adapted to our local needs. *
: ...
FOURTH —And most important of all: Our ability to render 100 per cent.
£ service to you. In purchasing a motor truck SERVICE is of more
(importance than the truck itself. Here’s a truck on which we can J
give 100 per cent service, for the very simple reason that the /
manufacturer of this truck is just at the other end of our tele-
" phone. No more long waits to hear from some cold-blooded
manufacturer away off in the Northwest, who never saw us and
I who we probably will never see. With the SUPERIOR we are
dealing with HOME FOLKS. The Willinghams, the manufactur
ers, are OUR FOLKS. They are building trucku for their own 1
J people—trucks for home consumption.
