Rheumatism
A Home Cure Given By
One Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was attacked
by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheu
matism. I suffered as only those who
have it know, for over three years. I
tried remedy after remedy, and doctor
after doctor, but euch rflief a» I re
ceived was only temporary. Finally, I
found a remedy that cured me com
pletely, and it has never returned. I
have given it to a number who were
terribly afflicted and even bedridden
with Rheumatism, and it effected a
cure in every case.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this mar
velous healing power. Don't send a
cent; simply matl your name and ad- •
dress and I will send it free to try.
After - you have used it and it has
proven itself to be that long-looked-for
means of curing your rheumatism, you
may send the price of it, one dollar, but
understand, I do not want your money
unless you are perfectly satisfied to
send it. Isn’t that fair? Why suffer
any longer when positive relief is thus
offered you free? Don’t delay. Write
today.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL,
ARSENATE URGED
AS PREVENTIVE
OF BOLL WEEVIL
COLUMBIA, S. C., March 25.—An
increased production of calcium arse
nate will make It possible for farmers
to wage war against the boll weevil
this year on a greatly enlarged scale.
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
told the members of the South Caro
lina branch of the American Cotton
association. In an address here today.
The eradication of the pest will be
hindered, however, he said, by a&
Inadequate supply of dusting ma
chines, but added that manufacturers
were Increasing the output of the
machines and that "in no great while
the supply will be sufficient to meet
the needs.”
Regarding efforts the department
of agriculture Is making to confine
the pink boll weevil to the Infested
areas in Louisiana and Texas, he
asserted the department’s willing
ness to place a federal quarantine.
“Everybody interested in cotton
ought to realize, however,” he said,
“that the thing must be done now or
not at all. Extermination Is possible
only at the beginning of Infestation,
when the Insect occupies only very
restricted areas. Unless the pink
boll worm la exterminated now—and
It cannot be exterminated except by
absolute co-operation of the states
concerned —It will aweep over the en
tire cotton belt and will Inevitably
Inflict much greater damage than
the boll weevil has done.”
Arsenate Is Effective
Mr. Meredith said the test of cal
cium arsenate as a poison that would
eliminate the ordinary boll weevil
was tried last year on an abandoned
farm. “The department divided the
field Into three strips,” he said. “The
unpoisoned strip on one side produced
forty-eight pounds of cotton, the
strip on the other side produced sixty
pounds of cotton and the strip down
the middle where the drinking water
was poisoned produced 480 pounds
of cotton.”
More than 9,000 acres of cotton
land In eastern Texas were cleared
of cotton plants, and even the bolls
and leaves, the secretary told the
members of the association, in order
to check the spread of the pink boll
worm. Since then the same tactics
were used in the Pecos valley and
the Great Bend district, and non
cotton and regulated zones established
in the infested areas and buffer strips
beyond them and also along certain
portions of the Mexican border to
-prevent infestation from Mexico.
“Fumigation houses were estab
lished at points of entry all along
the Rio Grande,” Mr. Meredith said,
Cost of Production
Quoting from a preliminary report
the secretary gave some of the fig
ures on the cost ©f cotton produc
tion. “Nobody has known just how
much It has cost to produce cotton,”
he said. “The department of agri
culture undertook to find out. The
office of farm management began a
series of studies In the cost of pro
ducing cotton under varying condi-
The work has just been com
pleted, and the preliminary report
shows that for the 1918 crop the cost
varied from >.OB to >1.03 per pound.
It Is interesting to note that 85 per
cent of the cotton on the farms
studied, repre«enting 66 per cent of
the producers, was grown at a cost
of 28 cents a pound or less. The
average cost of production was 23
cents a pound. The average selling
price was 29 cents and even at this
price one-fourth of the farmers pro
duced their cotton at a loss. Owing
to reduced yields and increased
wages the cost of producing the 1919
crop has been considerably larger.”
“and every carrier that crosses the
line, from a freight car that may be
fouled with cotton to a Mexican
tramp with a possible handful of cot
tonseed in his pocket or wrapped up
In his bundle, is cleaned or disin
fected before being allowed to enter
the United States.”
Brooklyn Woman Sells
Bale of Cotton, Bought
In Atlanta for $192
The highest profit made here
through the purchase of cotton in
1914 during the “Buy-a-Bale” move
ment was announced Wednesday
when Mrs. Charles B. Shannon, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., sold for $192.70, a
bale of cotton which had been pur
chased ’ess than six years ago at
$47.50. The purchase and sale wore
made through H. Y. McCord, presi
dent of the McCord Stewart com
pany, a leader In the “Buy a-Bale”
movement.
While the “Buy-a-Bale" movement
was a patriotic campaign organized
for the relief of the farmer at the
outbreak of the European war In
1914, many of the purchasers in the
the movement have made large prof
its from what they supposed to. be
patriotic contributions. Mr. McCord
htated Thursday that owners of cot
ton secured at 10 cents a pound dur
ing the “Buy-a-Bale” cartipalgn had
sold their purchases at prices rang
ing from 10 cents to 41 cents.
Mrs. Shannon’s transaction brought
the largest profit recorded in At
lanta. She purchased a bale weigh
ing 475 pounds at 10 cents a pound.
In the five and a half years of
storage the bale lost only five pounds
in weight, and, selling at 41 cents a
pound, brought >192.70. Substract
ing >27.50 for the cost of storage and
Insurance the net profit was $117.70;
and substractlng $15.67 for 6 per cent
Interest on her investment for the
five and a half years, Mrs. Shan
non still has a profit of $102.03.

GEORGIA STARTS
VIGOROUS DRIVE
TO RETAIN LABOR
Launching a vigorous campaign
against emigration agents operating
in Georgia to strip the state of its
farm and industrial labor, H. M.
Stanley, commissioner of commerce
and labor, has sent to all county of
ficers, chiefs of police and bailiffs
an explanatory letter outlying the
lews governing the situation and
urging prompt attention to any evi
dences of the poration of emigra
tion agents.
Within the past few days an al
leged emigration agent was arrested
in Laurens county just as he was
about to transport a carload of ne
gro laborers and their families to
Arkansas. He put up a $2,500 cash
bond. Other instances are occurring
in various sections of the state, it
is declared and steps are being taken
to cope with the situation.
Commissioner Stanley’s letter call
ing attention to the matter follows:
“There is every indication that a
great many laborers are being car
ried out of Georgia into other states
in violation of the Georgia law. It
i sthe usuad method for a white man
to employ negro helpers in securing
this la,bor. Any person securing la
bor or attempting to secure labor to
be carried out of the state in viola
tion of the law can be arrested on
four counts for each offense as fol
lows:
“First —For failing to register with
the ordinary as an emigrant agent.
“Second—For failing to pay the
tax collector, in each county where
such person operates, a fee of SI,OOO.
“Third—For failing to apply for li
cense; give bono in the sum of SI,OOO
and to mqke monthly reports to the
department of commerce and labor.
“Fourth —For failing to secure li
cense from the department of com
merce and labor.
“At this time no person in Georgia
is qualified to act as an emigrant
agent and any person, therefore, who
is transporting or attempting to
transport labor out of the state is
guilty of each of the offenses named
above. Every laborer secured and
every attempt to secure 1:
separate offense.
“Labor in Georgia Is scarce and
is needed for our own use. We can
not spare a single person for use
outside the state. Our farms are
all being rapidly depleted and every
available hand is needed on the
farms now. It is not only right and
proper under ordinary circumstances
to apprehend these emigrant agents,
but it is now a patriotic duty to put
every them in jail. I there-
fore urge you to watch carefully and,
if any person is found endeavoring
to secure labor for use in other
states, to immediately put such per
son under arrest and prosecute him
to the full extent of the law. I would
be glad if you will advise with me
from time to time relative to this
matter. Any aid I can give you will
be cheerfully rendered, and I ear
nestly request your assistance in
stopping .the exportation of our much
needed labor. Any movement of la
bor should be carefully watched.' It
is a favorite practice for these agents
to purchase tickets for laborers from
one point in Georgia to another
point, and then at the latter point
to either buy tickets to the objective
point outside the state or to pay
cash f."-” to the conductor. If any
considerable number of laborers are
m - mone point to another
in Georp-’n. It would be wise to care
fully investigate to see if in reality
the objective point is not outside
the state.”
Modern Hog Farm
In Emanuel County
SWAINSBORO, Ga., March 25.
The modern Duroc Hog farm of V. E.
Durden & Co., of Graymont, which
has recently been started near here
will, when completed, be one of the
most complete farms of its kind to
be found in the state. The farm is
situat’d on the Reidsville road about
five miles from Graymont, and is
particularly adapted for stock rais
ing. A portion of the farm has been
subdivided into a series of twelve
pastures, and grazing crops will be
g-own in each, so that the hogs can
be grazed every month in the year.
A system of permanent pastures has
also been started under the direction
of the State College of Agriculture.
Modern hog houses, feed blns, and
barns have been erected to take care
of a large herd of hogs, and nothing
but throughbred' registered Durocs
will be raised. The farm is already
stocked with about eighty registered
Duroos.
FRENCHMAN CALLS
TREATY COLLAPSE
POLITICAL FIGHT
PARIS, March 25. —Commenting on
the rejection of the Versailles
treaty by the United States senate,
Captain Andre Tardieu, writing in
I’lllustration says: “It was a po
litical campaign conducted for a po-
I’tical aim by political means. The
aim was to deprive President Wilson
and the Democratic party of power;
the-means were negative expectancy
during the negotiations, assault aft
er the signature of the treaty.
“However, the treaty of Versailles
remains integrally in force and the
League of Nations remain consti-'
tuted. No matter how great the re
gret one feels at the absence of the
United States, nothing is lacking in
the right of either the treaty or the
League of Nations to live and func
tion.”
With reference to the guarantee
to France against unwarranted at
tack by Germany necessitating abey
ance owing to the non-ratification of
the British, American and French
pact, Captain Tardieu says:
“While France deeply regrets the
collapse jf the treaty, it is no time
to forget services rendered. France
recollects 2,200,000 soldiers and
15,000,000,000 francs loaned at a
time when neutral markets were
closed to us; 400,000 tons of ship
ping placed at our disposal, and
thousands of tons of wheat, assuring
bread for 11,000,000 Frenchmen.
“France remembers that If Mar
shal Foch was able to conceive and
execute the offensive of July, 1918,
it was due to the 300,000 American
soldiers reaching France monthly.
“If, owing to non-ratification cf
the American, British and French
protective treaty, France, after fif
teen years of occupation along the
Rhine, has no other guarantee of se
curity than the occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine bridgehead,
such occupation might be prolonged
until other guarantees exist whether
they are obtained through tho com
ing into force of the American, Brit
ish ‘and French pact or other equiv
alent guarantees.”
Breadstuff Exports
Show Decrease; Cotton
Shipments Increase
WASHINGTON, March 25.—Ex
ports of breadstuffs and dairy pro
ducts decreased in February as com
pared with the same month a year
ago, but cotton shipments increased,
both in bulk and value, according to
a review issued today by the depart
ment of commerce.
Shipments of breadstuffs were
valued at 544,000,000, as compared
with $56,000,000 the same month
last year, and meat and dairy prod
ucts at $57,000,000, against $95,000,-
000.
Cotton exports Increased 30 per
cent in weight and 100 per cent in
value, due to the increased price of
the fiber. Shipments totalled 640,-
000 bales, valued at $135,950,127,.
against 449,000 bales, valued at
$73,552,274 in February a year ago.
Cotton seed oil exports were valued
at $20,000,000 as against $32,000,000.
Little change was shown in the
outward movement of cereals, ex
cept wheat exports, which fell off
1,900,000 bushels. Exports of wheat
for the eight months’ period totalled
only 87,000,000 bushels, against 20,-
000,000 bushels for the same period
in 1919.

GAINESVILLE ASKS
PALMER TO MEET
REED IN DEBATE
GAINESVILLE, Ga., March 25. —A
petition has been signed by over 100
white Democrats of Gainesville and
Hall county to Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer and Seantor James
A. Reed to have a joint debate here
on April 6, when Mr. Palmer has
selected to open his campaign In
Georgia. The petition has been
signed by some of the leading men
of the city, including Democrats of
all shades and of all walks of life
from a lawyer to a preacher. Many
of the signers of Palmer’s first peti
tion are among the signers of this
petition.
Should. Know Candidates
In an interview, Col. W. B. Sloan,
one of the best known and most in
fluential lawyers in this section, a
past grand master of the grand lodge
of Georgia Odd Fellows, and a Dem
ocrat of unimpeachable loyalty, said
that the past three years have com
pletely changed the • premises of
many matters hitherto thought to be
fundamentals of public liberty and
civic axioms. And he said that it be
comes citizens of this intelligent
country, whose only hope of con
tinued success was the intelligence
of its citizenry, to learn well before
coming to any conclusions as to the
policy of the men now offering them
selves as candidates for the presi
dential election. He and others sign
ed the petition in an effort to get at
the fundamental differences between
the factions of Palmer and Reed.
Col. Sloan realizes that reformation
of the Democratic party should be
from within and not from without.
The party, he said, has been of un
told benefit in the past and he sees
no reason why it cannot be redeem
ed from “rings” and "cliques” and
“machines” and be, as in the days of
Jefferson and Jackson, a sheltering
place for personal, civic and political
W. H. Craig, for thirty years edi
tor of the Eagle and secretary of the
Hall county Democratic executive
committee, and perhaps one of the
best versed men in the state on poli
tics, said he thoroughly agreed with
the desires of the petitioners and
their object in the effort to get Sen
ator Reed here in joint debate with
Mr. Palmer. In the past giants met
in jinnt debate and did much good to
enlighten the people.
'The petition and names are as fol
lows:
“Inasmuch as the proposed League
of Nations is one of the paramount
issues of the campaign, and the Hon.
A. Mitchell Palmer represents Presi
dent Wilson’s view, i. e., the ratifica
tion of the league without any
amendments, alterations or reserva
tions, and Senator James A. Reed, of
Missouri, represents the other ex
treme view, that is, opposition to the
ratification of any League of Nations
in any form;
“Therefore, believing that It is due
the people, that they may be allowed
to hear an open discussion of this
vital question, and without commit
ting ourselves to the support of any
candidate, we respectfully petition
the Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer to con
sent to a .division of time with Sena
tor Reed' at Gainesville, Georgia, on
April 6. Respectfully submitted,

SAYS PRESIDENT
SHOULDNOTRUN
FOR THIRD TERM
WASHINGTON, March 25.—Presi
dent Wilson should announce im
mediately that he is not a candiate
for a third term, Representative
Humphreys, Mississippi, declared in
the house today.
7"r. Humphreys asserted that un
der no conditions should Mr. Wilson
consider asking for re-election, and
advocated the passage of a constitu
tional amendment limiting presiden
tial eligibility to one term.
“I regret that the president has
remained silent as to his intentions
in the matter of a third term,” Mr.
Humphreys said, “and that he has
permitted so many of his friends, in
cluding members of his own cabinet,
to advocate publicly his re-election.
T - remaining s-lent he has allowed
the country to believe that he is will
ing to break the ancient precedent.”
At the conclusion’" of Mr. Humph
reys’ speech both Democrats and Re
publicans rose and cheered.
The speech was the first Demo
cratic political attack on the pres
ident during this session.
He declared that talk of a third
term is “a somnabulism, which ne
glects the traditions of our fathers,”
and that it shows a tendency to make
the United States a kingdom Instead
of a republic.
Mr. Humphreys stated he was
proud of the record of the president
during h's term of office, but pointed
out that Washington, Jefferson, Lin
coln, Grant and McKinley all were
against third term.
“These are the precedents which
have come down to us from those
who have carried the torch of liberty
through a century of effort to ne
gate and discredit the theory of the
divine right of kings,” Mr. Humph
reys said.
He then declared that it was be
cause the Democrats “sensed danger
in the air” that the one-term plank
was put in the 1912 platform.
"I am aware, most painfully aware,
that we have drifted from the old
moorings to which our fathers clung,”
Mr,. Humphreys added.
Significance was given to Mr.
Humphreys’ speech by the fact that
Democratic Leader Kitchin obtained
consent of ’the house for the ad
dress.
Damp Spot Found
By Knoxville Diggers
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 25.
"Backward, turn backward, O time

again, just for tonight.”
As this touching appeal was
ascending into eternity from the
hearts of some of a force of men
engaged in the installation of a con- ■
Crete floor in an old brewery. build
ing here, one man went blind, an
other went dumb, another went lame,
and others had all of the maladies,
but just for a mojnent—for their
picks struck a barrel in which were
bottles of beer.
So quickly did they descend Into
the little cavity thp.t a half day’s
work was done within thirty sec
onds. There was quite enough to go
around and leave sufficient to be
taken Into custody, so passers-by
stopped for a few reminiscences and
invariably left in tears. Some, too
happy to be held responsible, stepped
into the gutter of the old East Ten
nessee Brewery company and put one
foot on the curbing.

DANIELS BLAMED
FOR SHORTAGE OF
MEN IN THE NAVY
WASHINGTON, March 25.—“ Pr
ocrastination on the part of Secretary
Daniels” was responsible for a seri
ous shortage of personnel which
proved “the initial handicap of the
navy in the war,” Captain Leigh C.
Palmer, war-time chief of the bureau
of navigation, testified today be
fore the senate committee investi
gating the navy’s conduct of the
war. i'
The secretary. Captain Palmer de
clared, was unable to appreciate the
necessity for obtaining and training
men in advance of an actual declara
tion of war.
“Even after war was declared,”
the witness said, “he used to say,
‘We have too many reserves now.’ ’’
Just before the United States
joined the allies, when the bureau of
navigation was striving to recruit
naval reserves, the witness contin
ued, Secretary Daniels ordered en
rollment in the reserve stopped.
“Did you stop?” asked Chairman
Hale.
“No. We needed the men and went
right ahead.”
“I talked to Mr. Daniels the other
day and he doesn’t remember any
thing about that,” said the witness,
“but he did order me to stop en
rollment then and several other
times.”
Captain Palmer told the commit
tee that when war was declared the
navy was shori 67,000 regular and
reserve enlisted men and about 2,500
officers from its peace-time require
ments and that at least 20,000 addi
tional enlisted men and many more
officers werp needed for destroyers
as soon as war was declared.
The witness said congress was
not to blame, as it gave everything
the department asked for.
Replying to a question by Chair
man Hale, Captain Palmer declared
that Secretary Daniels did all he
could to help get men “in the criti
cal days of the spring of 1917.”
“The secretary,” he said, “backed
up all efforts to get enlisted men. He
was anxious to get them.”
Fear Soldier Was
Killed and Robbed
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 25.
Local military authorities have be
gun an investigation Into the disap
pearance of Raphael Purlmutter,
Twenty-sixth Infantry, who has been
in this section with the Twenty
eighth infantry band, and who droo
ped out of sight in Cookeville, Tenn.,
with $1,700 in drafts and money or
ders on his person.
Purlmuter’s supply of funds,
coupled with his excellent service
record, have led the authorities to
fear he was murdered and robbed.

Wednesday to investigate. Purlmut
ter has been in the army several
years, and served throughout the
war with the First division over
