TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE *l*7, 1924 , w ELBEfITAS H FINAL SPfIAVING THIS WEEK FORT VALLEY, June 17.—Ex perts attached to the government and state peach laboratory here have issued a bulletin advising orchardmen to spray their Elberta varieties for th e last time this week. This bulletin reads as fol lows; The Elbertas have now reached the correct stage for the final ap plication of spray for th e control of the curculio and brown rot, and peach growers are advised to treat them during this week with four pounds of arsenate of lead and 32- 32-200 self-boiled lime-sulphur, or 80-5-15 dust. A special effort should be made to thoroughly cov er every peach on the trees at this time, as it is desirable to produce a residue on them that will remain there until harvest. Hileys should hav e received the final treatment week before last, and Georgia Belles last week. The new generation of curculio beetles is now emerging from the soil in Middle Georgia peach orch ards. The appearance of these new generation beetles has caused the curculio population in some orchards to be four times as great at the present time as it was two weeks ago. This new. generation of beetles can be successfully con trolled if the sprays have been ap plide as advised, however, if this last important spray is delayed or if it has been applied too early ef ficient curculio control is doubtful. Growers are further advised to use the extension disk under the spread of the trees as frequently as pos sible to destroy curculio pupae that have not yet matured. WASHINGTON LETT E DRYEST CONVENTION OF ALL TIME, BOASTS HAYNES BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Yriter WASHINGTON, June 17.-—Roy Haynes, roly-poly prohibition com missioner, is a proud and happy man. Roy claims the honor of having made the Republican national con vention at Cleveland the dryest na tional political gathering in the his tory of the U. S. A. When Roy says “dry,” he means it literally, not figuratively. He’s referring to the absence of alcoholic beverages, not to the lack of enthu siasm which the correspondents had in mind 1 when they described the convention as “dry.” Haynes attributes the alcoholic drouth at Cleveland to careful prep aration. He had special agents in Cleveland spotting likely cases for four weeks prior to the assembling of the delegates. As a result, about the only supplies in evidence during the Coolidge convention were those carried to the town with them. His success in Cleveland has made Roy ambitious. He craves now to clamp the lid on New York during the Democratic sessions as effectively as he had it on at Cleve land . Already he has had an additional regiment of rum sleuths on the job there for weeks. New York, however, threatens to present difficulties not present at Cleveland. New York and New Jersey wets are just as determined to provide alcoholic hospitality on that occasion as Haynes and his agents are that liquors shall not flow. This rivalry between the prohibi tion officials and the boys whp seek to anticipate a wet plank in the Democratic platform promises to provide a game of hide and seek for the delegates not less thrilling than the quest for the right man to run for president. » » * Republican interest, now that the personnel of the G. O. P. ticket has been definitely determined, centers on the outcome at New York. In terest in who the Democratic candi date is to be is almost as engrossing ps it was over who should be Cool idge’s running mate. Offhand, it may seem strange that the Republican should have a real preference in this matter. But they have. By and large Republi cans are for McAdoo as the Demo cratic choice. Despite the fact hat McAdoo is perhaps the most vigorous cam paigner of all the Democratic possi bilities, is the most active and ag gressive, G. 0. P. leaders privately profess they would prefer him for their opponent. Os course, there’s a reason. It’s this. Republicans are praying that the ghost of the oil scandal will be laid for the period of the campaign. They believe that, with McAdoo as the nominee, the Democrats will Je stopped from raising the issue of “oil." In case it was raised. Repub licans would attempt to make it a boomerang, hitting Democratic as well as Republican heads. Especial ly McAdoo's. And of all the issues the Republi cans hope to keep subordinated, the pil scaodal leeds the BOOTS AND HER BUDDIES- Just Thinkin’ ' " ~ _By Crane ° ,yOU D 0M ‘ T -V/ONT HeA gee E | Bonder what he's w’ T | hope U he'% (good lookin''.the<se know-it alls make me V though? it'll ee more t-um! < ju&'love tall-an 1 dark eye<s anT-ak?- ‘ I % ' CK , vo ° oC HE 6E-T% cantankerous!

Brennan, a huge man with a bull voice and a wooden leg, who came to power through many bitter bat tles in Cook county politics, is credited by many with being the shrewdest politician of the bunch. Only second to him as an expert in the shifting of political pawns is Tom Taggart, who came from Monahan, Ireland, and who for 20 years has held Hoosier Democracy under his thumb. Tom served a while as senator, by appointment, following the death of Senator Shively, but prefers the game of picking ethers for office rather than holding office himself. Plenty of Advice Olvany is as yet untested in the larger field of political bossism. He is the newly chosen chief of Tam many Hall, a long-headed, cold eyed individual who until recently has been a judge in the New York Court of Special Sessions. Olvany’s inexperience, however, will be fortified by the advice and counsel of Tammany’s politically clever candidate, Governor Al Smith, and, for New York Democra tic interests as a whole by Norman Mack of Buffalo, up-state leader and former chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee. Next in' line as bosses erf slightly lesser influence, but who must be dealth with if the section ultimately is decided by an inside machine combination, come James Michael Curley of Boston and. Frank Hague of New Jersey. Curley, mayor of Boston, presi dent of the Hibernia Savings’ Bank of the Hub and leading member of the Tammany Club of Boston, is counted on to handle the New Eng land ballots in any boss-made selec tion. They All Help Hague, mayor of Jersey City, will have the New Jersey, votes az his disposal. And even that small group might be just the number needed to turn the trick. Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania, while not qualifying as a “boss” in the sense of these others, may be listed as a likely “insider” in any effort to handpick the candidate to break the deadlock. Similarly, Tom Love, of Texas will be a prob able consultant in such arrange ments. Far putside the delegations di rectly controlled or indirectly in fuenced by the Brennan-Taggart- Ovany-Curley-Hague combination, the Pennsylvania and Texas delega tions are the most powerful. So if nobody else can break thfe deadlock—just leave it to the Irish They may decide to break it for themselves anyway! HULSEY ACQUITTED ON MURDER CHARGE ATLANTA, June 17. —Claud Hulsey, street car conductor on the Decatur car line, has been acquit ted of a charge of murder by a jury in DeKalb county superior court. Hulsey was indicted in con nection with the fatal shooting of Will Randolph, negro, after an ar gumentgument March 30 on the car of which Hulsey was in charge. The jury reached a verdict of not guilty after deliberating less than two hours, and it was reported pbout the courtroom that the agree ment was reached on the second bal lot.

Sheppard, district man ager for Laurens county, who will perfect an organization at each local and take up inspection and loading of melons and other im portant matters connected with the ipdustry. ALUMNI ADDRESS IS DELIVERED IT ATHENS Macon Editor Is Speaker Before Student Body At University Commencement There ATHENS, June 17.—N0 time in the history of the world has there been such opportunity for service and such an insistent call for men who are capable of rendering ser vice to their fellow-men, and have the will to do so, W, D. Anderson, of Macon, declared, in the annual Alumni address prepared for deliv ery here today. “Never was the demand for lead ership so urgent. While it is true that men are thinking more, and thinking more deeply today than probable ever before, the ever.v day problems of life and business are so pressing and so absorbing that we are glad to follow a true leader when once we find him and are certain of the clarity of his vision and the integrity cf his pur pose. “Any man, therefor?, who can penetrate the mist that befogs the view of the masses ns they grapple hand in hand with the stubborn problems that confront them, whose mental equipment enables him to see ahead to better going and fails to call a word of cheer and en couragement to those around nim, is recalcitrant to his plain duty and moeks his opportunity for service ” That there is a spirit. of pessi mism abroad in Georgia today, Mr. Anderson declared, is undoubtedly true. Go where you will, in almost any crowd you find l , “the talk of hard times in Georgia will be heard,” “God never made a pessimist.” he continued, “he is either self made or the son of Satan.” I suggest that on every occasion you take the trouble to point out that though the South’s cotton crop—formerly our money crop has shrunken, we are still alive to tell the tale, and Georgia is very far from being a bankrupt State. Formerly, and for a century, we of the South were a debtor people, and we have been forced to go elsewhere to borrow our money, but at this time there is plenty of mon ey in Georgia belonging to Geor gians to finance any business con ducted along intelligent lir.ee, or to promote and finance any safe enter prise which Georgians of brains care to launch. “Why not point out all these things, if they mean anything at al), mean a more prosperous state, a more independent citizenry, and authorize the hope for greater hap piness not only for those who are in the ruck and welter of the mo ment, but as well for those who will come after us? It is not sufficient “for the men of Old Georgia” to content them selves with awaking” their fellow citizens to the truth of what we have discussed.” the speaker de clared,” for we must locate the dif ficulties in the way. It is in such a realm of activity as this that the call of leadership that is yours by right is distinctly called into ser vice.” “The tasks are,so great.” he de clared in conclusion, “ the oppor tunities for service are so many, the call is so clear, that I do not see how we can fail to hear and an swer.” Here at our own University, sup ported by the State that is yours, your feet have been unshackled that you may tread the path of pro gress; your hands have been un manacled that you may work with the intelligence of the trained ar tist, your tongue has been unloosed that you may preach the doctrine of hope, and sound a call that will lift your fellow citizens either from despondency or indifference; your brain has been unfettered that you may sweep wide in a vision that is without compass. < “What will your answer be?” SEWANEE ATHLETICS UNDER CLOSE CONTROL NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 17.

FIERY, ITCHY SKIN QUICKLY SOOTHED BY THIS SULPHUR Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream, will soothe and heal skin that is irri tated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with ugly rash or pimples, or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur preparation is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy because it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itch ing or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur always heals eczema right up.

L. Hand. Mothers, what would you give to feel easy' when your little one begins to show signs; of bilousness? It is customary to think that you ought to use calomel and castor oil, but you dread giving these doses as much as the child fears to take them. And still, you dread what may happen if you use just the ordinary children's laxative. It was to meet this very situation that I invented Liv-o-lax, and if you try it once, you won’t think of using calomel again. Liv-o-lax cleanses liver and bowels, too, and still it is a pleasant - tasting liquid, entirely vegetable, which causes no distress, serves equally well in colds, constipation and indigestion and is just as good for adults as it is for the child ren—who really love to take it.
