Powersville, Ga. -o BOLSHEVIKS SWEEP BEATS BACK POLES ON AN EXTENDED LINE Pole3 Don’t Like Terms Of Allies, But It Is Conceded They Will Have To Accept Warsaw.—News from the battle front is meager, but at last account* the Poles were reported to have evac¬ uated Minsk, Kovel and other town* toward which the Bolshevik are ap¬ proaching in their 1,200-kilometer (745 miles) westward sweep. Many of the telegraph wires are down and the railroads have been cut at various points. It is reported here that Minsk is on fire, but it is not certain, owing to the difficulties of communication, whether the Bolshevik have yet occu¬ pied the city. The Catholic archbishop hern has appealed to members of the church to Join the colors. A special mass has been called at which prayers will be offered for Poland’s safety. The Russian residents of Warsaw have held a mass meeting and begun the organization of infantry and cav¬ alry detachments to fight the advanc¬ ing Bolsheviki. The American Relief Association and the American Red Cross have com¬ pleted their evacuation of Vilna in the north and of Lemberg on'Ilie southern front. At * ast accounta the Bolshevik! were kilometers from Vilna. Exten »lve preparations have been made for the defense of that city. Lemberg is that yet in immediate danger, F— r- O-' X.....,1 Rub-My-Ti*m is a great pain killer. It relieves pain and soreness caused by Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sprains, etc. What a presumption it is to have woman suffragists tell us what great things the women will do, if they get the power hitherto exercised by men. Do the women do their part in life now so much better than the men as to justify such expectations? There are more homes neglected, with houses unkept and children running the streets, than there are business ! establishments neglected by men. T. ■ 9~ I. He Has Made the Interest and Welfare of His Constituents His First Duty and Greatest Pleasure in Official Service —Some of His Work in Washington. • --- 1. Cotton Exchange Regulations. Helped perfect and had charge on the final passage in the Senate of tho Smith-Lever Act, to regulate cotton exchanges, and to prevent them os far as possible from put¬ ting down the price of cotton. 2. Cotton Markets Saved. Intro¬ duced and passed through the Sen¬ ate the resolution which obtained from Great Britain in October, 1914, admission of our right to ship cotton into Germany and Austria. As a result, nearly three million bales of cotton were shipped from the United States into Northern and Middle Europe before March 1, 1915, and the price advanced in Georgia from below 6 cents to 10 cents a pound. 3. British Lawlessness Attacked and Cotton Prices Protected. Great Britain, during March, 1915, repu¬ diated her admissions, and ordered cotton Northern shipped to neutral ports of Smith Europe seized. Senator attacked this British action, and also attacked the order made 111 lilt] ! i! ’•i J V' 1 i til *. ¥-ii: RK •o Ji* ?: ' s < m .•'•r : : K & - >7 sj $ sg , August 21, 1915, by Great Britain, declaring cotton contraband! Brit¬ ish statesmen well knew their con¬ duct was illegal, and, largely to check the hostile feeling caused by the fight Senator Smith was lead¬ ing, British interests bought over two million bales of cotton in Sep¬ tember, 1915. German interests bought one million bales, hoping cotton would be shipped to Ger¬ many. The shipment of the first three million bales, and the pur¬ chase of the three million bales just mentioned carried the price of cotton in the Fall of 1915 to figures higher than those at which it sold before the war began. But for this advance in the price of cotton there would have been losses in ali lines of industry and suffering by all the people of Georgia and the South. 4. Cotton Price Fixing. Helped defeat in the Senate bills in 1917 intended to fix a maximum price upon cotton without making the maximum the minimum price. This proposed legislation was especially unfair because it would have pre¬ vented an advance in price, but not a fall in price. 5. Cotton and the War Industries Board. Fought Baruch's War In¬ dustries Board in September, 1918, when they sought to create a sin¬ gle purchasing agency to buy cot¬ ton, and to fix a maximum price for all cotton exported without even guaranteeing against a fall in price. Trades 6. Cotton and the War Board. The War Trades Board, after the Armistice, was hindering the export of cotton. Senator Smith hammered at them and gradually succeeded in causing a removal of restrictions. Finally, about June 1, 1919, the Board re¬ moved the last restrictions upon the export of cotton, and cotton went to 36 cents a pound. From the beginning of the World War, for five years, Senator Smith gave much of his time to keeping open markets and obtaining a fair price for cotton. In and out of the Senate he worked, frequently using the press of the East to publish articles supporting the price of cotton for which he paid out of his own pocket. Work. 7. Agricultural Extension Prepared and put through the Sen¬ ate, the Smith-Lever Act for agri¬ cultural extension work from the colleges of agriculture, under which farm demonstrators and teachers of domestic science are employed. 8. Market Bureau. He introduced, and put through the Senate the j provision creating a Bureau of i Read Your Home Paper.

Helped prepare put the Senate the Smith-Saycrs Act under which aid is given to the injured soldier, te enable him to prepare again for active work. He has been an in¬ tense supporter of every measure to relieve the condition of the In¬ jured soldier, and led the fight in the Senate for the reoent $20.00 a month increase in thedr compensa¬ tion. 10. Parcels Poet. Helped perfect and put into active operation, the parcels post. 11. Good Roads. Supported act¬ ively national on’the aid to good roads, and while Post Office Com¬ mittee, with Senators Bankhead and Swanson, perfected the plan which was subsequently adopted by the Senate. 12. Clayton Act. Served on the sub-committee which perfected this act and personally had charge of the provisions legality of the bill recognia ing the of farmers’ co-op¬ erative societies and labor organi¬ zations 13. Federal Reserve Banking System. Actively supported and helped perfect the Federal Reserve Banking System. At his instance the number of Federal Reserva Banks was increased to twelve— that a proper number might be lo¬ cated in the South, ana he was largely instrumental in locating on# of them in Georgia. 14. Farm Loan Banks. providing Helped perfect and pass the act for farm loan banks by which the rate of interest charged to ownerc of agricultural lands has been greatly lessened, and by which purchases of small farms are made easier. 15. Nitrogen Plant. Helpi ir feet and pass the Act under ich the Government is creating plant* for the production of nitrogen from air, and supported aetivelv tha provision requiring the use of these plants in times of peace to furnish their products to cheapen the east of fertilizers for the farmer. I 16. Income Tax Reduction. Sen¬ ator Smith made the fight in the Committee just after the was signed, to reduce the normal income tax one-third, and every Georgian, when he pays his income tax, is getting the bene¬ of this work of theiT senior Senator. 17. Georgia Military Camps. Not did Senator Smith render effi¬ service in securing military for Georgia during the war, his efforts were likewise di¬ towards securing for Geor¬ the contracts for the con¬ of these camps. The permanent establishment of Infantry Officers Training biggest military schwn the United States and the school which West Pointers, after their are sent for their a« field training—at Camp Ben Columbus, was due, in large to the untiring efforts of Smith. During the last session of Con¬ he succeeded in stopping the to dismantle Camp Gordon. Smith urges the retention this camp, that Georgia boya boys from this section of the who enlist in the army, be permitted to receive their near their homes. The in the military bill, giv¬ an opportunity for men in the to take vocational training make special preparation introduced to to oivil life, was put through by Senator Smith. Senator Smith on entering the sought and obtained an m to the Committee on as membership oa Committee gave him the best to serve the farming of his state. The worn he has done for the farming both of Georgia and of country, were recognized in called the platform, which as achievements of Party, to measures Senior Senator had pre¬ and put through, naming the Farm Demonstration and Cotton exchange regula¬ and the Market Bureau aad Acts: Senator Smith has never spared in his earnest and xealons of all measures which be of value to his constitu¬ and has never failed to op those which he believed wo* or injure them.
