6 COMMITTEE FIXING TO ‘‘RAISE H—L” IN STATE, SAYS FLYNT (Continued from Paye 1) Hoke Smith carried the number of counties herein below set forth, with the number of convention votes set opposite said counties, making a total of 43 counties carried by Mr. Smith, entitling him to 104 delegates in the convention to be held May 18. “It therefore appearing that Hon- A. Mitchell Palmer, having a plurali ty of the delegates to the presiden tial convention, to-wit: 148 delegates, he is, therefore, according to the rules of the state Democratic executive committee under which said primary was held, entitled to have the delegates to the national Democratic convention to be held in San Francisco, named by the said presidential convention from among his friends and supporters. “Be it, therefore, resolved, That the report be transmitted to the presidential convention to be held in Atlanta, May 18, 1920, as the re sult of such presidential primary in each county as the same appears Upon the consolidation of said pri >*Sgned) “H. H. DEAN, “MILLTR S. BELL. 'TERMOR BARRETT, “J. H. MILNER, “HIRAM L. GARDNER, “Subcommittee.” To Resist Injunction Preparing to resist the permanent injunction sought by Mr. Watson, the subcommittee appointed three of its members, Fermor Barrett, H. H. Dean and J. H. Milner, to file an answer before Judge Walker cover ing the subcommittee’s position, which is that its action on Tuesday did not include the making of any rule which altered the status of the situation resulting from the primary of April 20. They construed the In junction to prohibit the making of any new rule, whereas Mr. Black burn, representing Mr. Watson, con tended that any ruling made by the subcommittee would constitute a vio lation of the restraining order. Both Mr. Watson and Senator Hoke Smith, through their represen tatives, refused to submit their con tests to the subcommittee, after that body refused to state whether it would seek to make up the permanent roll of the convention. These con tests, which involve about a dozen counties and about twenty-six unit votes, will be presented to the con vention itself for final settlement. May Meet at Atlanta Theater It developed during the meeting that it will be impossible to hold the convention in the auditorium for the reason that the building has been leased for Mav 18 for another pur pose. It, therefore, becomes neces sary to secure other quarters, as the hall of the house of representatives at the state capitol is too small to accommodate the gathering. A com mittee composed of J. R. Smith, Al bert Howell and B. M. Blackburn was appointed to secure a suitable place for the convention and it was indicated that the Atlanta theater mav be selected. The Democratic state executive committee will meet in Atlanta on May 17, the day before the conven tion. according to announcement by Chairman Flynt. Albert Howell and Hollins Ran dolph. Atlanta attorneys, were pres ent at the meeting of the subcom mittee to represent Attorney Gen eral A. Mitchell Palmer in any con tests affecting his interests. SMITH AND WATSON CARRY CONTESTS TO CONVENTION Whether Thomas E. Watson’s in junction did or did not prevent them from hearing and deciding contests growing out of the recent presiden tial primary, and whether they had authority to make a byiding decision of these contests so as to control the action of the state convention to be held May 18, were the two main ques tions that confronted the sub-commit tee on rules of the Democratic state executive committee when they met Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock in the ballroom of the Kimball House in this city. On the first question, they decided that the language of Mr. Watson’s in- Uric Acid Treatment 75c Bottle (32 doses) FREE Just because you start the day worried and tired, with aching head, burning and bearing down pains in the back— worn out before the day begins—do not think you have to stay in that condition.

F. Walker, of Warrenton, who issued the injunction. They were persuaded to this view by Colonel H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, who argued that the in junction merely prevented them from “making any rule which would con trol the convention,” whereas they did not propose to make any rule but simply to apply the rules previously made by the state executive commit tee. On the second question, although they took no vote on a clear-cut ques tion as to the extent of their author ity, it was plain that they considered themselves authorized to hear and de cide contests. They based their stand upon a section of the state commit tee’s rules for the presidential pri mary which provides that the sub committee shall consolidate the re turns and declare the result. They argued that it was necessary to hear and decide the contests, if any, be fore they could declare the result. When they made plain their attitude on this point, the contests of Senator Smith and Thomas E. Watson were withdrawn from their consideration, with notice that the same would be taken to the convention. Court Hearing May 14 Senator Smith arrived in Atlanta Monday afternoon from Washington and will stay here until after the convention to be held May 18. He will confer at once with his friends and decide on a course of action to be followed in the convention. He is expected to issue a statement in the next day or two. It is understood he will oppose Rule 10 as being beyond the authority of the state committee, since'it attempts to control the ac tion of a convention by a minority of the delegates composing the conven tion. Under this rule the Palmer leaders claim the right to send Pal mer delegates to San Francisco. He has a plurality of the state conven tion delegates but not a majority. Under the terms of Judge Wal ker’s injunction issued Monday on petition of Mr. Watson, the sub-com mittee are required to show cause be fore him in Warrenton on May 14 why the injunction should not be made permanent. Now that the sub committee have voted to proceed with the hearing and decision of contests, and have declared Mr. Palmer the winner of the primary, it is consider ed likely that Mr. Watson will ask that they be held in contempt. The entire sub-committee are summoned to appear before Judge Walker on Friday, the date for the hearing. In the course of the discussion, which lasted three hours, the sub committee adopted a motion by Col onel Dean directing the chairman, Judge Flynt, to summon a meeting of the full state executive committee to be held in Atlanta on the morn ing of May 17. Judge Flynt asked the colonel to state the purpose of the meeting. “To consider any mat ters that may come up,” he replied, some of the political speculation was that the purpose might be to attempt to call off the state convention and have the executive committee elect Palmer delegates and send them to San Francisco with credentials issued by the committee. What Petition Alleges The petition was presented to Judge Walker by B. J. Stephens, at torney for Mr. Watson. Its princi pal recitations, together with the order of the court, are as follows: “That J. C. Evans is a member of the Democratic executive commit tee of the state of Georgia, and is a resident of Warren county, and peti tioner brings this, his petition, against said J. C. Evans and against all other members of the state Dem ocratic executive committee, and the petition shows that, on faith of the law and of the nrincipl®; of law and equity, he in good faith became a candidate in the recent presidential preferential primary, held April 2). 1920, and that he qualified himself in the way prescribed by the com mittee by filing with said commit tee the requiste number of names and by depositing in the Atlanta National bank the sum of $5,000 to the credit of the Hon. James J. Flynt, chairman of said executive committee, and in addition to this sum deposited with the secretary of the said committee S2OO. “Petitioner further shows that without the deposit of this money, which caused the other candidates to make similar deposits, said pri mary could not have been held, for the. reason that the committee had no funds with which to hold it. con sequently he alleges that he has a financial interest in the result, as well as a civil interest as a citizen and as a candidate. “Petitioner further sets out, by allegation, that said committee has stated in the daily press, in articles signed by members of said commit tee, that they do not intend to abide by the law of the lg.nd, nor be guided by principles of equity, but their intentinon is, when they meet on Tuesday, May 11, to usurp the func tions of the’ Democratic state con vention, which has been called to meet by said committee on May 18. “Petitioner further says said committee has declared its intention of passing on all contested counties, so the convention on the 18th will have no real functions to perform. Further, that the state Democratic executive committee made a rule now known as ‘Rule No. 10,’ which seeks to deprive .the sovereign con vention of the people of Georgia of its constitutional and historic rights; this rule 10 not only violat ing the general principles of Demo cratic and Republican institutions, to wit: that a majority of legally qualified voters should gov ern, but it seeks to establish usurpa tory domination of an autocratic mi nority. Bule Ten “Petitioner alleges that Rule 10 violates the very terms of the coun ty unit law of 1917 in that the com mittee is seeking to apply that law to the highest office in the land, al though the statute itself says the county unit plurality shall not apply to elections in offices so high as that of governor nor as high as that of senator. By every known rule of construction the said executive com mittee did an unlawful thing when it declared that the said county unit plurality should apply to the su preme office of president. “Petitioner presents to tha jourt the legal view that the state com mittee should have been guided n.y the constitution of the United States which declares that a president shall be elected by a majority and not by a minority. He submits further that it would be possible under Rule 10 for designing politicians who bate our system of government to elect themselves by a minority vote jn each state; that, under Rule 10, as laid down by the committee, one third of the registered voters could establish a preferential rule in our republic, thus absolutely revolution izing our system and nullifying that clause of the United States constitu tion to every state in the union, which clause guarantees to every state a republican form of govern ment. “He respectfully submits that he knew nothing of Rule 10 until after said primary was over, and ho was in no degree consenting to the same, and he cannot be legally charged with same, because it was never pub lished in such away as to become legal notice to any one. He alleges said committee failed and refused to publish such a notice in away that would bring it home to a knowledge of the people; and that it never be came public until after the commit tee had decided and declared that the presidential nomination vote should, be given to one Mitchell Pal riier, a resident of Pennsylvania, and a candidate in the aforesaid primary. “He further alleges that if si id committee on the 11th of May or at any subsequent time shoull do what it threatens to do, it will have have committed irreparable injury on your petitioner, who received nt said primary a majority of the county votes, and a majority of popular votes, and who therefore under well established democratic principles and statutory enactment is more entitl’d to the nomination than the said non resident, A. Mitchell Pilnier. “Petitioner shows that there is no law by which he can prevent the damage threatening by the defendant committee in the case, and no law by which he could recover damages from the individuals composing the said committee. He further shows that he will be financally damaged to the extent of at least $5,000 if said committee is allowed to enforce Rule 10, which they call a law binding upon the convention, and awarding by committee action the presidential nomination in advance of the conven tion, something never before heard of in the laws and history of the ' United States. *4 COTTON NEW YORK, May 12.—There was some selling on relatively easy cables and un favorable reports fro mthe goods trade at the opening of the cotton market today. First prices were 15 points higher on May, but generally 1 to 20 points lower, with July selling off to 37.87 c and October to 35.38 c after the call. Four May notices were reported in circulation, and after opening at 40.25 c May reacted to 40.15 c, but later months firmed up before the end of the first hour on reports of rains in the central belt. July advanced to 38.03 c and October to 35.60 c, or about 5 points above last night’s closing. Some sections of Texas are complaining of excessive rainfall, but the early weather news ftom the Carolinas was favorable. The market turned firmer late in the morn ing on covering by May shorts and if any thing the weekly report of the weather bureau published at midday, placed more emphasis on unfavorable features than ex pected. The failure of May notices issued so far this month to bring out more liqui dation was evidently a disappointment to some of the remaining shorts and that posi tion led the advance, selling up to 40.65 or 55 points net higher, while later deliv eries showed net advances of 25 t 035 points early in the noon hour with July selling at 38.22 and October at 35.92. There was scattered realizing at 40.70 for May and 35.95 for October and prices showed reactions of several points after 2 o’clock with trading comparatively quiet.

At the end of the first hour of business prices were 10 to 21 points oyer yesterday’s close. July fell off to 3<.<4c and reacted to 37.95. The weekly crop and weather reports at 10 o’clock were more unfavorable than ex pected and they increased the demand to a considerable extent, although trading did not become very active, many would-be buy ers being rendered cautious by continued re ports of a slackening in the demand for finished goods. Late in the morning July traded at 38.05 and the list stood 20 to 35 points higher than the closing quotations of yesterday. - , The cottan market became more active in the lat trading and it firmed up on a good demand so that toward the close the trading months were 20 to 43 points over yester day’s finals, the new crops being stronger than the old.

JOHN POMEROY POUTS Iff TO lire H LITE Noted Scientist Expounds His Theory That Exist ence Centers in the Stomach lnterest Shown All Over South. Interest continues all over the south in the remarkable new theory advanced by John Pomeroy that stomach trouble is responsible for the vast majority of cases of ill health. In an interview Mr. Pomeroy said: “Stomach trouble I consider the ■ curse of the century. Thousands who do not know what is the matter with them are suffering from it. They take socalled ‘treatments’ for nerv ousness, kidney trouble, liver com plaints. constipation or heart trou ble. And in vain, for they do not get at the real cause. The stomach in many cases has become slowly poisoned by dropping of acid and nauseating mucus, usually from ca tarrh, into the throat during slumber, or careless swallowing of it through the day. An inflamed condition re sults, digestion is arrested, dyspepsia is established, nutrition is denied, the appetite fails, the liver is clogged, the blood is fouled, kidneys can not | Relief for Torpid Livers And Habitual Constipation If’ 1 ! !| 11! PREPARED CY L; : I HITCHCOCK MEDiaNECaIgW At J'jfW Ty Yf W \ I I ENGLAND HELPLESS TO POINT OF PANIC, WILSON TOLD SIMS ■ (Continued from Page 1) plan that promised to stop the egress j of German submarines, his mind was closed to the above and, as many other extracts show, to every plan ' looking to the great offensive which in the fall of 1918 was the most ef fective foe of the submarine.” Admiral Sims’ cable to the presi dent suggested that the proper policy to pursue was to adopt the recom mendations he had made to the navy department, “most of which had been decided upon and put in operation before Admiral Sims suggested them,” Secretary Daniels declared. Favored British Organization “He added,” the secretary contin ued, “that we sohuld adopt an organ ization similar in all respects to the British squadron, and virtually trans fer all naval authority to his head quarters in London. He was careful , not to say, though he regarded the Queenstown base and surroundings as the ‘critical area,’ that as rapidly ■ as American destroyers arrived the , British destroyers were removed to another area, although he now makes the preposterous statement that the , failure to have more destroyers in that critical area (we had thirty ; four at that time out of our total of i fifty) occasioned the loss of 500,000 lives and fifteen billion dollars of money.” Two “remarkable and significant statements” in Admiral Sims’ reply to President Wilson were cited by Mr. Daniels as evidence that the ad miral was “sk> hypnotized by British influences that he was willing to try to lure the president of the United States into the feeling that regard less of future developments, we can always count upon the support of the British navy.” The first was that the views he had expressed were in all cases an “independent opinion, based upon spe cific facts collected in the admiralty and other government departments.” The second was as follows: “Depend upon the fact, which I believe to be true, that regardless of any future developments we can al ways count upon the support of the British navy. I have been assured of this by important government of ficials.” “Sops for Simple” “It would be interesting to know what British government officials as sured him that regardless of future developments the United States can always count upon the supoprt of the British navy,” said Mr. Daniels. “It seems inconceivable that any admiral could have regarded such as surances as worth paying tolls to transmit. Every school boy should know that in a democratic govern ment no government official could pledge his country’s navy to support another government ‘regardless of future developments.’ It is to be hoped that if Admiral Sims has such assurances he will send a copy of the pledge In writing with the names of the ‘important government offi cials’ to be filed in the archives of ‘sops for the simple.’ ” Admiral Sims was “under the spell of influences that made him. believe the British government coula be de pended upon more to take care of America than that America should depend upon her own strong right arm.” said Mr. Daniels. “This attitude of acceptance of ev erything British,” he added, “un doubtedly accounts for his opposition to the creation of an independent American army and his idea that American troops sent abroad should be used as an annex to the British army, quoting General Bliss as rec ommending that policy. When Gen eral Bliss read that Admiral Sims had quoted him as advocating such a policy he wrote at once to the sec retary of war declaring the truth to be exactly the reverse.” Mr. Daniels also asserted that Ad miral Sims told C. C. Carlin, then congressman from Virginia, visiting London during the war, that “as compared to the British navy our achievements had amounted to little, that England had protected us upon the seas and we could always rely upon her to do so, and that in view of this friendship there was no ne cessity for us to desire a navy which would in any way equal that of Great Britain,” Mr. Carlin, Mr. Daniels said, declared Admiral Sims should have been on the British payroll, not America’s. act, constipation follows, pimples ap pear, aches pains utter their warning, and»?& general debility is the result, followed by suffering and death. “I can not begin to number the people who have come to me with pitiful stories of how they had dizzy spells, were weak all the time, could not sleep at night, got up in the mornings, more tired than when they went to bed, and the very sight of food nauseated them. Or sometimes they had unnaturally ravenous appe tites, felt stuffed up after eating, their minds wandered, violent head aches attacked them, often accom panied by a sudden nausea, vomiting or fainting spells. Many had been forced to go without solid food for several weeks at a time, had always a sour stomach, were troubled with formation or gas on that organ, led the gloomy life of dyspeptics, the eyesight was affected, they were dull, tired, nervous and; gloomy all the time. “Thousands of such sufferers have poured out their thanks to my med icine, Puratone, for restoring them to g;ood health. lam absolutely posi tive that Puratone will rel’eve any such case of stbmach trouble in from four to six weeks.” The leading druggist in nearly ev ery town sells Puratone, or Pomeroy & Company, Atlanta, Ga., will fill or ders at $1.04 per bottle, oostpaid. (Advt.) 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 yon 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 uable remedy.— (Advt.) -x ax t mxMJL xx, xtrxA/* SLIT IN RANKS OF BOTH PARTIES LIKELY • LAWRENCE ASSERTS (Continued from Page 1) the strength of Governor Lowden grows.

Today—the situation Is, of course, full of uncertainties—but today it looks like McAdoo for the Demo cratic nomination, Oovernor Lowden for the Republican, and Senator Johnson for the third party with the chances of Herbert Hoover being the Republican candidate still not an im possible contingency. His chances for the Democratic nomination are gone. He has read himself out of that party by his attitude toward the California primaries. And he has failed to rouse Republican strength by his hesitancy to declare himself a Republican. His advisers have hurt Herbert Hoover’s chances but he is probably at fault for lis tening to them. Lowden, McAdoo and Johnson are in the front rank today. _________ FOB SALE—FAHMS GOOD FARMS FOR SALE IN SOUTH~' GEORGIA WILL sell 371 acres in Lowndes county, located in the heart of the tobacco grow-, ing section, just one mile east of Hahira, Ga., which is on the G.
