Mr. Upshaw told his hearers bow Mr MeAdoo built the great Hudson tunnel in New York and then in an •.apologetic vein referred sof o Tugn wages paid under McAdoo’s admin istration as director general of rail roads. Mr. MeAdoo raised wages all along the line, Mr. Upshaw said, but according to the speaker, *he raise granted was a Stingy one, and Walker Hines who came .along after Mr. MeAdoo added a few millions more to the annual revenue of rail road workers. “And that wasn’t all,” he shout ed. “A little later the raillroad board which I-I-I helped to create, added six millions more to the in come of the men in overalls.” Up to this time, many of his hearers had been thinking it was Mr. MeAdoo who had raised the railroad men’s wages. It was the first time many of those present had ever heard of Willie Upshaw’s adding six millions to anybody’s annual income. But Upshaw is an astute speaker. /f s v Serving || Height Cabinets combine utility with economy. They form an ideal counter containing exactly the file drawers you want.

In truth, his whole talk last night was an appeal to the women, who are new-comers, so to speak in the political arena and many of whom are apt to be misled by political artistry that would be entirely wast ed upon men. This was proven beyond tho question of doubt when Mr. Upshaw based his appeal in behalf of Mc- Adoo upon patriotic grounds; that the Californian was Georgia-born, and the dead issue of prohibition. He harped on liquor throughout the address, and at one time blandly asserted that he alone prevented forty-two liquor organizations re instituting the saloon instanter in Georgia and other states throughout the union. At one point in his address, Mr. Upshaw shunted so abruptly from “gibbering foreigners” to distin guished Alabamians who had come into Georgia to present the candi dacy of Oscar W. Underwood, until I became just a little confused as to the status of my own American citizenship. You know I am a na tive son of Alabama, where my dear old mother, tottering on toward her eightieth birth anniversary was born and still lives. I lived in Alabama during the first twenty-five years of my life; there I gained whatever I know of the English language from a native-born and reared Ala- bama woman, and' learned last night in Americus, Georgia, from the lips of the distinguished Atlanta con gressman, for the first time, that Alabama is a state filled with “gib ibering foreigners.” I had never no ticed the condition during all of the , years that state was my home, be fore I came here to cast my lot with Georgia and become a Georgian in heart, soul and mind. I had thought all along Alabama was a sovereign state embraced within the American Union. And finally, toward the end of his address, Mr. Upshaw thought about the question of oil in connection with Mr. McAdoo’s candidacy. It was evident he hesitated to touch upon the question, for he began by saying: ‘Some one asked me today if I had any oil on me, and, my re ply was ‘Thank God, I am a Bap ! tist and oil and water won t mix.. ' He didn’t say anything so positive j ’ about tho incompatibility of oil and I ( Episcopalians, Mr. MeAdoo being a communicant in the latter faith. All in all, though, Mr. Upshaw’s address was entertaining through out and as an amusement feature . adds zest to the campaign for Sum ter’s suffrage in the presidential preference primary. Even if it fail utterly as a vote winner for Mr. ■ MeAdoo.

He is pushing it steadily. ’THE AMFRfCUS TIMES-RECORDER MOTOR VEHICLES PA¥ HUGE SUM IH TUXES More Than Fifteen Miltion Cars Were Registered Last Year in This Country ATLANTA, Ga., March 18.— On December 31, 1923, there were 15,- 092,177 motor vehicles in use in the 1 United States, according to statistics collected by the Bureau o Public Roads of the United States Department received here. During the past year the number registered increased by 2,853,802 vehicles, a greater increase than in any pre ceding year. This increase which is 187,0JU j registrations greater than the gain I in any other year means that the public demand for road improve ment already strong, will be strenghtened, and a more general use of the road, particularly in a business and commercial way, will result. As indicative of the coni merical trend, motor truck registra tions now total over one and one half million. Gross receipts from registration fees together with the licenses of drivers, chauffeurs, etc., amounted to $188,900,000 or 23 times tho I I amount derived from this source in 1913. During the same period mo tor vehicle registrations have in creased twelve times. In 35 States a gasoline tax rang ing from one to four cents per gal lon is imposed. Revenue from this source, amounting to $36,300,000, is spent largely for highway pur poses. This revenue will be ma terially increased in 1924 since in many States such taxes have been in effect only a few months. Motor vehicle registrations, re* venue and gasoline taxes in the State of Georgia for the year 1923 was as follows: Total registration cars and mo tor trucks, 173,889; Receipts from registration fees, licenses and per mits, $2,156,406.08; Receipts from gasoline tax, $1,502,503.49, accord ing to reports. HEAVY VOTE EXPECTED IN DOUGHERTY PRIMARY ALBANY, March 18. —The heav iest vote ever recorded in a white primary in Dougherty county is ex pected Wednesday, the registration totalling 3,435, including about 1,- 400 women. Estimates of the num ber of votes to be cast run from 2,- 800 to 3,000, but it is most likely that the number will be about an average of the two extremes, or around 3,000. It is generally con ceded that each candidate who has opposition in his race will exert ev ery effort to get out every voter be lieved to be favorable to his cause. With some twelve or fifteen candi dates actively at work trying to get voters to the polls, it is considered unlikely that many holders of the franchise who are in the county and not sick in bed will be allowed to escape the act of voting. The first thing to, take out of the 'abuse when startig spring cleaning is all the men. !
