SfWu thousand persons each year are laid

“Rupture.” Why? Because the unfortunate
Cnvs hud neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care of the sign (swelling) of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the eacse. What are you doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, ap
pliance, or whatever name you choose to call
it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift.
• false prop against a collapsing wall—and
cannot be expected to act as more than a

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
'WET WWE' FINDS
DEMOCMTIC FAVOR,
MTSLMHCE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, March s.—While
there is no diminution of enthusiasm
or lack of effectiveness on the part
of government officials who are
charged with, the enforcement of the
prohibition laws, it nevertheless is a
fact that a considerable part of the
Wilson administration looks with
favor upon the so-called “wet wave”
which is sweeping the eastern sea
board.
The prohibition question seems ev
ery now and thfen to supersede all
other phases of political discussion,
and it is no secret that were it not
for a fear of what havoc William
Jenings Bryan might wreak at the
San Francisco convention, the agita
tion begun by Governor Edwards, ol
New Jersey, would get more enthusi
astic support from Democratic lead
ers who control delegations and who
are thoroughly “wet.”
Western Democrats, however, who
know of Mr. Bryan’s potentiality for
political mischief, are advising cau
tion. They even argue the merit of
prohibition as affecting their states,
how the penitentiaries have been
emptied and the retail merchants
have prospered, but this sort of ar
gument has little effect on the thirsty
men of the east, who do not see why,
under a liberalization of the prohibi
tion laws, the same civic objects
could not be attained.
Saloon Forsaken.
For one thing, none of the wets In
the administration has even a friend
ly word to say for the saloon. That,
they declare, is gone for good. Nor
do they champion the cause of
whisky. But they Insist that some
sore of beverage like light wines
beer should be permitted the coun
try.
Indeed, the Wilson people .who fa
vor a liberal platform on the prohibi
tion question are fearful lest the
brewers, or the liquor interests gen
erally, get behind what seems to
“wet” folks here a spontaneous re
action against prohibition. They
would prefer popular demonstrations
to continue uninspired by any or
ganization of business Interests
which could be suspected of a sel
fish motive in the settlement of the
question.
Some administration officials point
out that the extreme tactics used by
the Anti-Saloon league should not be
duplicated by an institution favoring
the wet cause or the public will not
be roused in support of a reform of
the prohibition laws.
Chance ~"or Wets to Speak
Politically however, it is interest
ing to watch such actlvitLj as those
of Governor Edwards, who is cam
paigning on a wet platform. There
is a genuine expectation thai 1, will
enter presidential preference pri
maries in several states and gather
in a lar_. vote, more as a demon
stration of how the rank and file in
the Democratic party feel about the
wet question than any especial in
dorsement of Mr. Edwaids himself,
for admittedly his personality has
not been known west of the Dela
ware river before this year.
Briefly, many of the Democratic
leaders do not look unfavorably on
the Edwards movement. They think
it will help .hem decide ir advance
of the San Francisco convention
whether it is going to be popt '.ar to
insert a plank urging light wines
ancfc beer for the nation.

EXPERTS DISCUSS
FARM NEEDS AT
MOULTRIE MEET
MOULTRIE, March 5. —An agri
cultural conference similar to
one held in Moultrie Wednesday by
farmers, business men and bankers
from fifteen southwest Georgia coun-r
ties, will be held annually in this
section of the state, Tifton having
been selected as the next meeting
place.
The conference here, which was
largely attended, was presided over
by J. Phil Campbell, director of
extension work in Georgia. In his
opening address, Mr, Campbell out
lined an agricultural program for
the year which met with a hearty
response. He went into explanation
of the special district marketing
system being worked out in va
rious sections of the state under
the federated farm bureaus of Geor
gia. Moultrie, he declared, was a
fine point for headquarters for a
special market specialist who should
cover some twelve or fifteen coun
ties. Such a specialist will in all
probability be sent here, Mr. Camp
bell stated. He also brought out
Some ■ forceful points on the need
of a general county-wide health and
sanitation campaign in the average
county, asserting that only normal
ly .healthy people can hope to be
come maximum producers.
. <Dr. A. M. Soule, president of the
State College of Agriculture, was
the principal speaker on the pro
gram. In his address he pointed out
what he termed the agricultural
needs of the day, urging the nec
essity of “surrounding this funda
mental industry which feeds and
clothes the world, with a more def
inite assurance of profit for the
tiller of the soil.” He also stressed
the need of improving living con
ditions on the farms.
S. C. Hood, agricultural agent of
the Georgia Northern Railway com
pany, explained the two-crop hog
production plan for southwest Geor
gia, a subject in connection with
which he is the author of a bulle
tin which has attracted wide at
tention among hog growers through
out the south.
H. McDowell, manager of Swift’s
plant here, and Mr. Crane, manager
of the Armour plant at Tifton, were
also on the program, both making
practical talks giving the viewpoint
of the institutions which constiute
the market medium, the livestock
growers of this section.

REPORT ON PRICE
OF COTTON GOODS
In a statement, issued Saturday
afternoon, John A. Manget, fair price
commissioner for Georgia, announces
that “the time has come to consider
the situation as to our cotton mills,”
and proceeds to appoint a committee
of prominent cotton mill men of the
state to present figures to the Ful
ton county fair price coipmission ht
its meeting on March 16. Mr. Manget
states that the prices fixed for cotton
mill products at this meeting- will ap
ply all over the state,
His statement follows:
“To Georgia Cotton Mills:
“The complaint has been made to
the fair price commission that we
were beginning at the wrong end or
the line in fixing prices for the stock
of retail merchants without going
to the beginning by fixing prices on
manufactured articles. This was not
our purpose. We have simply been
taking one step at a time and feel
that the time has come to consider
the situation as to our cotton mills.
“During the eight months that 1
have been a fail- price commissioner
I have received a great number of
jibes and much unfair and unjust
criticism for not establishing a fair
price on cotton mill goods. Many of
my critics have charged that ?I was
afraid to do so because I»was in the
cotton business myself.. This was a
base slander, for some months ago 1
offered to withdraw frQm my firm
until this fight was won, but my
partners refused to allow me to do so.
All profiteers look alike to rne, wheth
er they deal in groceries, in milk, in
bread, in drugs, in clothing, in coal,
or are of the common herd known as
rent hogs. The Georgia fair price
commissions are organized under gov
ernment orders, operating under na
tional laws for the general good of
our people.

largest plants of its kind in the
country, as the- present plans call
for a building efeht hundred and.
forty feet long by one hundred and

about six months. > '
A. H. Slearne is vice president
of the company, which is affiliated
with the Tennessee. Copper com
pany. This company has other
plants at Ducktown and Copperhill.
Tenn., and this fact caused consid
erable uneasiness to manufacturers
and residents of the immediate vi
cinity as to the probable effect of
the fumes. The officials of the com
pany give assurance, however, that
these fears are groundless as there
will not be a smelter here as there
is at Ducktown.
This plant will lie along the right

with Senator Hoke Smith and other
southern senators, is preparing to
make a strong fight before the sen
ate committee on agriculture, which

CHARGE VIOLATION
OF ANTI-TRUST LAW
BV COTTON FIRMS
/ ' .
Violation of the Sherman anti
trust act and illegal combination to
arbitrarily reduce the price of cotton
are the charges lodged against cer
tain cotton> brokers, factors and
dealers operating in Georgia by the
heads of the state-department of ag
riculture and the state bureau of
markets'in a petition filed Saturday
afternodp In the' United States dis
trict court for the Northern district
of Georgia.
Judge Samuel H. Sibley, of that
court, upon considering the petition
and allegations made therein, forth
with issued a temporary injunction
against the dealers mentioned in the
petition, restraining them from put
ting into operation any arbitrary
practices such as those charged by
the plaintiffs. The hearing on the
petition to determine whether or
not it shall be made permanent will
be held March 20 before Judge Sibley.
The plaintiffs are J. J. Brown, state
commissioner of agriculture’, and L.
B. Jackson, director of the state bu
reau of markets.
The defendants named in the peti
tion are: George H. McFadden &
Brothers, the Latham-Bradshaw Cot
ton company, Anderson, Clayton &
Co., Howard, Taylor & Co, and the
Strickland-Jordan company. It is
stated in the petition that none ot
the defendants, so far as is known,
are residents of Georgia, but that
they maintain offices in Atlanta and
conduct a eeneral business in the
buying and selling of cotton through
out the state.
It Is charged that at a meeting held
by the defendant brokers and others
February 28 in the offices of the At
lanta Commercial Exchange, certain
agreements were entered into under
which the cotton dealers arbitrarily
fixed the price on the grades, of cot
ton below good middling, this reduc
tion averaging 2 cents per grade
below the current prices then obtain
ing in the market.
•To Go Before Grand Jury
It was indicated Saturday after
nobn by the petitioners that the fil
ing of the civil suit against the cot
ton dealers would constitute only one
phase of the case, and that presenta
tion of the evidence to a federal
grand jury would follow. The ob
ject of this later move being, the
petitioners stated, to secure indict
ments charging violation of the Sher
man anti-trust law. The petition
sos injunction was filed by H. H.
;Dean, well-known Gainesville attor
ney.
J. T, Jennings, manager of the
Atlanta branch of the firm of George
H. McFadden & Brothers, declared
Saturday night that the meeting on
February 28, at dhich it is charged
that the alleged illegal price-fixing
agreement was formulated, was not
a secret gathering, but was open to
the public. He further asserted that
the only purpose was to standardize
the prices on the lower grades of cot
ton, but that none of the dealers
were obligated to follow this price
schedule.
“For many years it has been cusr
tomary to hold such meetings,” said
Mr. Jennings, “and the meeting Feb
ruary 28 was no different from any
of ’the others. As a matter of fact,
the meeting February 28 was follow
ed by another on Tuesday of last
week, because several cotton dealers
tfr.Sye absent frorii the first gather
ing.”
“If we have violated the Sherman
anti-trust law or-any other statute,
we know nothing about it, and I am
sure no court would consider the
standardization of low grade cotton
price’s as illegal restraint of trade.”
Fight Is Begun in
U. S. Supreme Court
On ‘Dry’ Amendment
WASHINGTON. March 6. —The
prohibition amendment and portions
of the enforcement act were at
tacked as unconstitutional In a brief
field in the supreme court today by
the Kentucky Distilleries and Ware
house company in appeals from fed
eral court decrees holding the act
valid. The case will be argued Mon
day along with the Rhode Island and
other cases.
The brief alleges the amendment
invades the soveriegn powers ex
pressly reserved by the federal con
stitution to the states; that three
fourths of the states have not rati
fied it because\in twelve it has not
been submitterd to a referendum as
st%te statutes provide and that both
the amendment and the Volstead act
take property without just compen
sation.
The brief also alleges the pfohibl
tfoh resolution was not constitution
ally adopted by the house and sen
ate because the affirmative vote for
ttfe resolution was not two-thirds
of* the membership in each body, but
only two-thirds of those present.

MISSING; BANK OF
PALMETTOSOLVENT
The statement Saturday night by
Dr. T. <P. Bullard, president of the
Bank of Palmetto, Ga., that the vice
president of the bank, R. G. Bachel
ler, has. been missing since-last Tues
day and that a shortage of several
- thousand dollars has been discovered
in his cash accounts, brought to light
for the* fijrst time the details of an
affair. Concerning which rumors hav<i
beeft- current in Atlanta and in Camp
bell county for several days. 1
Dr- Bullard told The Journal that
Mr. Bacheller left Palmetto sudden
ly last Tuesday and that-his present
whereabouts is not known; , that the
shortage was discovered to be sev
eral thousand, but that every cent
has been made good; that the bank’s
books and assets are in perfect con
dition and that it has since been
doing business and will continue to
do business without any loss, what
ever to a single depositor.
Mr. Bacheller’s disappearance, said
Dr. Bullard, has been a shock to him
and to the entire community, for he
was regarded as one of the most
scrupulous and trustworthy business
men of Palmetto, and, aside from
the fact that he had been speculat
ing cotton, which developed after
his disappearance, he was not known,
said Dr. Bullard, to have been en
gaged in any practices that might
have a bearing on his disappearance
and the shortage.
Is Married Man
Mr. Bacheller is about 35 years
old and has lived in Palmetto prac
tically all. his life, being engaged m
the banking business since he was
a youth. He is married and his wife
and three small children now are in
Palmetto. He is a former member of
the school board, owns his own home
and several years ago, Said his
friends, inherited a • tidy Sum from
his father, who for many years was
southern representative of the Moz
ler Safe company. He had been con
nected with the Bank of Palmetto
for about fifteen years and, accord
ing to Dr. Bullard, formerly owned
145 shares of the 250 shares of
stock of the bank, most of which, if
not all, said Dr. Bullard, he had
hypothecated.
“He is a man of exemplary habits,
neither drinking nor smoking, and
stood highly in the town,” said Dr.
Bullard. “In fact, I know ,of noth
ing of which he could be criticised,
unless it was for speculating, prin
cipally in cotton, a fact which we
learned after finding the shortage.”

FAILURE OF ALLIES
TO CONSULT 11. S.
AROUSES WILSON
PARIS March 6.—United States
Ambassador Wallace was ordered by
President Wilson to ask Premiers
Lloyd George and Clemenceau
whbthet England and France in
tended to. settle other European
questions without , consulting the
■United States as they had the Rus
sian' and Italian questions, accord
ling’ to the- text •/of a ■ note from
President Wilson made public by
the foreign office here today and
delivered -to the supreme council
January-20, last.
The note was not framed in the
usual diplomatic language,, accord
ing to the version given out here,
but was sharp and ourt. In refer
ence to Russian and Italian ques
tions, it pointed out that Lloyd
George and Clemenceau apparently
had only sought to ascertain the
Italian and Serbian views, without
seeking to gain the American view
point.
The note declared President Wil
son cannot accept certain points in
the proposed Fiume settlement. It
said that Dnder Secretary Polk, be
fore his departure from Paris, no
tified the peace delegates that the
Dalmatian and other questions must
be settled through the regular dip
lomatic channels.
The note reminds Mr. Wallace that
the fact that he has not full pow
ers does not change the situation
and points out that as America
cannot send a delegate to the con
ference who would have the same
authority .as the “big three,” it
would be manifestly impossible for
the United States to have a repre
sentative present when the prime
ministers meet.
The note referred to apparently
was dispatched shortly after the
Serbian ultimatum had been Issued
by Premiers Lloyd George, Clem
enceau and Nitti and apparently
was addressed, to Mr. Wallace and
submitted by him to the supreme
council.
Note, Threatening
Drastic Action, Is
Sent Turkey, Report
LONDON, March 6.—The allies
dispatched a note to the Turkish
government today. The terms of the
communication were not disclosed,
but it is understood they are drastic
and will be followed by drastic ac
tion, should the necessity arise,
quiring the bank to show cause why
this draft was not honored.
Bank Solvent
The papers in the case were served
Saturday afternoon.
Commenting on the suit, officials of
the bank stated that it simply grew
out of the transactions of Bacheller,
and that . the records of the bank
show no siieh deposits have ever been
made. Therefore, said officials, the
bank very naturally refused to honor
the draft. In fact, they said, if
Bacheller sent the telegrams, he
could not have sent them from the
bank, as there is no telegraph office
in Palmetto. Having never received
the deposits, the bank refused pay
ment of the drafts, they said.
TOO NEB CAN • '
TAME A WHO CAT
Mr. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous, Dan- i
gerous Calomel
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a. slug-*
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with soUr bile it crashes intp
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con*
itlpated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take;
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up bet
ter and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll ba
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It’s harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

cured himself instead.
