6 TOBACCO ACREAGE IN GEORIA TO BE MUCH GREATER LEXINGTON, Ky„ May 1 Ou—Acre age of the United States to be de voted this year to tobacco raising probably will increase by about 10 per cent over 1919, says a review made public by the department of markets, University of Kentucky. “Kentucky will change the least in acreage of any of the great tobacco producing states,” the review recites, “while indications are that crop acre age will be increased from 10 to 14 per cent in tire Carolinas and Vir ginia and about 500 per cent in Georgia, the latter increase meaning that farmers of Georgia are taking <4 wbacco as a means of utilizing attacked by the boll weevil and now unsuitable for cotton.” Concerning the -world tobacco sit uation. the report, which is based on information from authoritative do mestic and foreign sources, says for eign acreage seems to have increased very little over 1919, but condition of the crop is greatly improved and this indicates there (Should be a con siderable increase in production. Reciting that at this time a year ago there were vast quantities held in the United States, the bulletin de ciares that this year about equal, if nor greater, stocks are held in the country. "England, Holland and Scandinavia find themselves with markets still glutted with tobacco shipped to them from the United States from August to December, 1919, at which time the overplus of tobacco in the Unite.! States was lifted and moved across the Atlan tic. either for cash or on credit, in order to free this country’s markets for the coming selling season. There fore," the report sjiys, “European countries this ye'ar apparently will not demand tobacco ire, as great quan tities as before.” Delving into the probable price of tobacco for 1920, the report says, “with acreage now planned and if a normal yield per acre is produced, the price of all burrley, except the highest type of cigarette leaf, should show a marked falling oil during the marker season of and even the highest quality leaf may suffer from competition with chai Virginia type, if this is produced in anywhere near tne quantity' indicated by the acre age planned.” Relative to the dark tobacco sit uation, the survey says, “the present deplorable stagnant ‘.market for it is resultant ot two factors —the pres ent* situation of foreign exchange and the fact that growers were either unwilling or unable to market their tobacco early in the reason. ’•’Frauce, however,”* says the report, “is likely to become a heavier buyer of American dark tobacco within the near future, provide.! that English exchange rectifies itscilf. because any improvement in English exchange is quite likely to be reflected in an im provement in French etxchange rates. This statement does not apply as strongly, at all, to Italian exchange rates and' hence the situation as to an Italian market is not encourag ing. “It does not seem reasonable, therefore, to expect a recovery in dark tobacco prices until those abnor mal economic conditions; are reliev ed.” the review concluded.

COTTON NEW YORK, May 10.—Reports of favora ble weather in the south over Sunday led to considerable selling in the cotton market during today’s early trading, particularly in the new crop months. The opening was steady at an advance of 7 to 14 points on the old crop positions which were bought by Liverpool and domestic trade interests, but the new crop was 6 to 16 points lower and soon sold 38 to 40 points below Satur day’s closing under liquidation and scatter ing pressure. The weakness of late months unsettled the near positions and July sold off to 35.05, or 13 points net lower. There was a little better demand around 35.40 for October and prices later rallied a few points from the lowest. July sold off to 37.80 c later in the morn ing. or 20 points net lower, but the decline in the new crop positions did not extend below 35.40 c for October, and trading was quiet toward midday, with active months showing rallies of several points from the lowest. New Orleans was a good buyer here during the morning, while the selling was largely local and there was scattered cover ing on the outlook for showers in the eastern belt. July held around 3Sc and October 35.67 c early in the noon hour, with active months ruling some 13 to 20 points below last night's closing figures. Private cables reported general selling in Liverpool on the better weather news from the south. Trading was very quiet during the early afternoon, with prices ruling steady around 38.17 c for July and 35.83 for October, or about Saturday’s closing figures. There was so-w buying by New Orleans on the rally, w' 'ch was accomplished by bullish private < ■ ajvices and talk of too much rain in southwestern sections.

After a hesitating opening there was a fall of 15 to 30 points on fairly good weather condi tions over the belt, but from this there was a recovery in which July led, that month rising to 38.10 or 10 points over Saturday’s «lose\at the end of the first hour of trading. Other, months stood 16 to 24 points under Saturday’s close. October trading at 35.45. Some of the strength of July appeared to be due to undoing of straddles in which July was bought and October sold. The forecast of showers for almost all sections of the belt was regarded as un favorable, sos, while showers would be ben eficial in some parts of Texas, they would be detrimental nearly everywhere else,, according to the opinion generally held. Late in the morning prices were 3 points under to 23 points over the close of last week, July trading up to 38.23 c. The demand continued until prices were at net advances of 12 to 27 points, but late in the day reports of widespread cancellations of orders booked by mills for finished goods were received from mill centers and the mar ket fell off to levels 5 points over to 8 points under the close of last week.

State Crop Report* The co-operative crop reporting service for Georgia. F. W. Gist, acting field agent of the United States bureau of crop estimates, and J. J. Brown, commissioner of agricul ture for Georgia, issues the following report on general farm conditions as of May 1, 1920, covering the subjects indicated: Wheat Five per cent of the acreage sown to wheat last fall is reported as abandoned, leaving 211,000 acres to be harvested this spring. The crop to be harvested, compared with that harvested last year, is reported at 85 per cent, which also indicated 211,000 acres. The condition of the crop to be harvested is reported at 88 per cent of normal, which forecasts the total crop for the state of 2,321,000 bushels, which compares with 2,520,000 harvested last year. Rye The acreage to be harvested for grain is reported at 88 per cent of that harvested last year, and the condition of the crop at the present time is 89 per cent of normal. Hay , The acreage of tame hay is estimated to be 94 per cent of that harvested last year, which accounts for a total acreage to be harvested this year of 524,000. The condi tion of hay is reported at 91 per cent of normal, which, on the acreage to be har vested. indicates a total crop of 644,000 tons. A considerable portion of the hay grown in this state comes from cowpea and pea nut vines, neither of which crops has yet been planted. Therefore, the acreage and production figures indicated above may be materially changed when the cowpea and peanut acreage Is determined. The acreage of wild hay is reported at 95 per cent of that harvested last year. The per cent of last year’s crop remaining on farms in the state on May 1 is estimated at 21 per cent, which is about the average amount of hay held for farm purposes at this time of year. Plowing and Planting For the past five years the average pro portion of plowing in preparation for all crops accomplished by May 1 has been 87 per cent. The average proportion of plant ing accomplished by May 1 has been 80 per cent. Reports indicate that to the Ist of May this year only 60 per cent of the plow ing has been done and only 54 per cent of the total planting intended has been accom plished. This marked difference in condi tion this year, as compared with average conditions in the state, is due to the un usual amount of rainfall in the past three months and also to the shortage of farm Tabor. This difference, amounting to 27 per cent in plowing and 26 per cent in planting, presents a rather serious situa tion. The conditions indicated by these figures appear to prevail over the entire state. Os course less plowing and planting is expected in the northern counties, and re ports indicate this to be true at tills time; and the small proportion accomplished is equally as noted in the southern counties, where at this time plowing and planting should be under normal conditions, prac tically finished. The southern third of the state has done only about 81 per cent of its plowing and 75 per cent of its planting, while the northern third has accomplished about 35 and 30 per cent, respectively. The central third occupies, ns is expected, about the middle ground between these two ex tremes. Mortality of Live Stock With the exception of hogs, the death rate of farm animals during the past 1 year has been very close to the five year aver age. Out of each 1,090 head, 27 horses and mules of all ages have died from dis ense; 20 cattle of all ages have died from disease and 21 from exposure: 22 sheep have died from disease and 28 from exposure; 50 lambs have died from both disease and ex posure. The mortality of hogst of all ages from disease hns been 70 out of each 1.000. while the five year average number is 79 per 1,000. Condition of Live Stock The general healthful condition of farm animals is shown in the following averages for the state: Horses and mules. 92; cattle. 90: sheen and hogs, 89 per cent of normal. These figures fall a little below the aver k age healthful condition at this time of year. SENTIMENT BROWS FOB UNINSTRUCTED STATE DELEGATION That the state convention to be held in Atlanta May 18 will send to San Francisco an uninstructed dele gation divided among the three can didates who ran in the recent presi dential primary is the growing be lief in political circles. Senator Hoke Smith is expected to return to Atlanta on Monday or Tuesday and remain here until after the convention. It is believed he will urge an uninstructed delegation di vided among the candidates as the only fair method of adjusting the differences that will develop in the convention. Senator Smith will not consent to the application of Rule 10 of the state executive committee. By vir tue of this rule, some of the Palmer Idadets have been claiming the right to name all the delegates to San Francisco. The rule provides that the delegates to San Francisco shall be selected from the supporters of the candidate who received the highest county unit vote in the primary. At torney General Palmer received the highest county unit vote on the face of the returns, but there are ten contests yet to be settled, and the convention will be the final judge of the credentials of all delegates. There are sufficient county unit votes involved in the contests to alter the attorney general’s status as the plu rality candidate, if they should be sustained by the convention. But entirely aside from the out come of the contests, Senator Smith will take the position, it is under stood, that no state executive com mittee can control the action of a state convention, much less when it proposes to exert that control by and \th rough a minority of the d&legates (voting in such a convention. In other words, that minority rule is undemo cratic, unprecedented and unthink able. Neither will Thomas E. Watson consent to the application of Rule 10. He has announce! that he and his delegates will resist the rule to the uttermost. He nas announced that those who attempt to apply the rule will invite political disaster for themselves. It is plain, therefore, that the only method whereby the Palmer leaders can hope to apply Rule 10 to the se lection of delegates to the national convention is to bolt tne conven tion to be held in Atlanta on May 18; and hold a convention of their own, composed of a minority of reg ularly elected delegates; and elect their own delegates to San Francisco and send them there to contest the credentials ot any other delegates which might be elected by the regu lar convention. "But whether it would be political ly advisable to bolt the state conven tion is the question which is said to be causing grave concern among the Palmer leaders. At their conference last Thursday, held in Macon, it is understood a majority of those pres ent were not in favor of the bolting program. They would much prefer some other adjustment pt the con vention’s differences if such a thing were possible. An issue involved in the person nel of the San Fracisco delegation— in fact, the main isisue, in the opin ion of most politicians—is the se lection a Democratic national committeeman from Georgia. A delegation named by a bolting con vention would probably re-elect the present incumbent, Hon. Clark How ell, who has held the position twen ty-five years, and who is the rank ing member of the national commit tee in point of service. A delegation named by the regular convention. Whether it be divided among the three presidential primary candidate or not, might make another choice of a national committeeman. Quite a number of Palmer dele gates to the state convention are men holding public office or planning to be candidates for public office in the forthcoming state primary. It is understood that they do not relish the idea of bolting the regular con vention, especially when their oppo nents could charge them with bolt ing to insure the re-election of the present national committeeman. Hence the situation resolves itself into a choice by the Palmer leaders between two alternatives, as follows: 1. To bolt the convention, name Palmer delegates, re-elect the pres ent national committeeman, and go to San Francisco with a contest which might or might not be decid ed in their favor, and which if decid ed in their favor might entail em barrassing future political conse quences in view of the manifest ten dency of Georgia Democrats to ig nore party lines where the League of Nations and other great issues are concerned. 2. To stay in the convention and make the best solution of the con vention’s differences that can be made, which solution would neces sarily involve a- recognition of the right of Senator Smith and Thomas E. Watson to participate in the nam ing of delegates to San Francisco, as well as to participate in the conven tion’s declarations with regard to the League of Nations, a third-term nomination for the president and other questions that were threshed out in the presidential primary. As between these alternatives con fronting the leaders of the Palmer faction, there is said to be a grow ing disposition in favor of the latter. Conservative Palmer leaders, it is understood on reliable authority, be lieve it would subject Democratic harmony in Georgia to a severe, if not dangerous, strain to bolt the reg ular convention and hold a rump convention composed of delegates representing a minority of the voters who expressed themselves in the presidential primary. Should they decide to remain in the convention instead of bolting, and should the convention name a dele gation in which all candidates were represented, the method of selection would probably be the same that has always been followed in the past. That is to say, the delegates would probably caucus by congressional Relief for Torpid Livers And Habitual Constipation * PREPARED BY Mj \ HITCHCOCK MEDICINE CO. P Atlanta, Ca. AA \ Sjf x \\o\ /// g TO ff f 1 CARRANZA’S ESCORT PUT TO FLIGHT BY REBELS, HE ASSERTS (Continued from Page 1) today from League Island, it was learned at the navy department. On the Texas border, Hew align ments of the United States regular army forces are being made. With Mexico City, Vera Cruz and Tampico in the hands of the revolu tionists, American destroyers were en route today to Mexican waters to await eventualities and to afford pro tection to American lives in the Mex ican gulf ports. Official confirmation of the fall of the Mexican capital was received yes terday by the state department from the American embassy which report ed there was no disorder in the cap ital incident to the transfer of au thority. Tampico and Vera Cruz also were reported quiet. The rapidly changing situation in the southern republic had developed even another important question to day and that concerned President Carranza. The American embassy re port made no mention of the presi dent and reports from Vera Cruz said that the search in that city had failed to find him. One report was that he had been arrested in Esperanza, state of Vera Cruz, but this was without confirmation here either in official dispatches or through advices to rev olutionist agents. The dreadnaught Oklahoma was ordered today to proceed from New York to Key West, Fla., for possible duty in Mexican waters. The ship will stop en route at Philadelphia to take on a full company of marines from the League Island station. She is expected to arrive there tonight. The Oklahoma should reach Key West several days ahead of the transport Henderson, which now is en route to League Island to take on an additional force of 1,200 ma rines. So far as could be learned no orders have been issued to either ves • sei to proceed further than Key WVst. The department early today had received no report from the four de stroyers which were due at Tampico yesterday. Estimates of the state department place the number of Americans in Mexico at between 6,000 and 7,000. This number includes radicals and draft evaders who crossed the bor der to escape arrest or court proceed ings. The department had. no additional advices today from the American em bassy or from any of its agents in Mexico. PRESIDENT WILSON CHALLENGES FOES OF PEACE LEAGUE (Continued from Page 1) sampaign with a solid Republican op position. Directed, at Johnson The Republican leaders will be quick to seize upon the Lodge reser vations as the oasis of their cam paign, with the hope that Senator Johnson will not repeat the admis sion of Senator Knox’s point and that he doesn’t want the treaty even with these reservations. It’s Sena tor Johnson against whom the presi dent’s letter to the Oregon Demo crats is levelled for the time being. Mr. Johnson just triumphed in his native state over Mr. Hoover, who stood for reservations. The Oregon newspapers with few exceptions have favored the League of Nations from the start. The Oregon Journal conducted a poll which showed an overwhelming sentiment for the treaty without any reservations whatsoever. So far as a test is con cerned on the unqualified adoption of the treaty, no better battle ground could have bee nselected by Mr. Wil son. But before th San Francisco con vention comes around, there will be another pronouncement from Mr. Wilson. The letter to the Oregon Democrats is not the last word*nor the kind of a plank the Democrats will adopt. They will take their stand for some reservations, notably those proposed by Senator Hitch cock and agreed upon by a majority o fthe Democrats and indorsed by Mr. Wilson himself. On the face of it, the letter to his original position of uncompromising opposition to any change in the treaty or league. Eventually he will be found supporting reservations “that do not destroy the treaty” and con demning the Lodge reservations on the ground that they are destruc tive. There is a noticeable renewal of confidence and hope in White House quarters as Senator Johnson gains ground. Senator Knox’s speech real ly helped to bring out the letter to the Oregon Democrats. _ districts, nominate two national dele gates from each district, and these would go to the convention to be con firmed. Apportionment of Delegates On the selection of the “big four’ delegates, there would probably be one representing each candidate, and the fourth would probably be chosen by nominations from the floor. That is to say, the Palmer people would name one delegate from the state at large; the Hoke Smith people would do the same; the Watson peo ple would do the same; the fourth would be a delegate acceptable to a majority of the convention. On the face of the returns, regard less of the contests mentioned above, Mr. Watson carried five con gressional districts by plurality, Senator Smith carried four congres sional districts by plurality, Mr. Palmer carried three congressional districts by plurality. Should the above stated method of selection prevail, therefore, the dele gation would be composed of ten Watson delegates, eight Smith dele gates, six Pajber delegates, on© for each from the state at large, and the fourth to be a majority selection. As to their vote upon the floor of the national convention for the Dem ocratic nominee for president, the delegation probably would be in structed to vote as a unit for which ever Democrat it considered best suited and most available as the party’s standard-bearer. This would place the Georgia delegation in line with most of the other delegations, which are ?£>ing uninstructed. It would enable the Georgia delegation to participate unbound and unem barrassed in the party’s councils. The liver is the largest and most important organ in the body, and when the liver refuses to act, it causes constipation, biliousness, headaches, indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery, diarrhoea, pains in back and under shoulder blades and under ribs on right side. These symptoms lead to colds, influenza or other serious troubles unless corrected immedi ately. An inactive liver places an extra burden on the kidneys, which over taxes them and causes the blood to absorb and carry into the sys tem the impurities that the liver and kidneys have failed to elimin ate. ' ! When you treat the liver alone, you treat only a third of your trouble, and that is why you have to take purgatives every few nights. Calomel or other ordinary laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver, you would put your entire system in order and frequent purgatives would then be unnecessary. Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and after much study and research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s 'Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip tion for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It is a harmless vegetable remedy that will not make you sick, and you may eat anything you like while taking it. Get a large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 25c, under his personal guarantee that it will give relief, tone up the liver, stimulate the kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. Keep it in the home for ready use whenever any member of the family begins to feel “out of sorts.” It will prove a household friend and a val -1 ; uable remedy.— (Advt.) TUESDAY, MAI 11, 1920.

The navy and its service in the world war stand without a trace of the mud with which a few have sought to bespatter it.” So far as his own acts were con cerned Secretary Daniels said he would be willing to let the case rest. The judgment and ability of the eleven other members of the general board had been brought under public criticism by one of their own num ber, however, he said, and these offi cers, respecting a naval tradition that naval officers should "have entered into public dispute among themselves regarding purely military matters, looked to the civilian satisfactory to defend them. .
