UMO«S WILL IM
VOTE ON QUESTION
OF ACCEPTING AWARD
Railroad Men
Appear Satisfied.
Leader Declares
CHICAGO. July 20.—“1 think
a jiajority of the railroad men
appear to be satisfied,” L. E.
Shepard, of the Order of, Railroad
Conductors, said today 'in com
menting on the decision of the
railroad labor board.
leads of other unions were re
lu< tant to comment on the deci
si’.a before the meeting of the
gr ind council. • Railroad union
loaders declared the attitude of
all seventeen* unions would be
represented in a joint statement
foilowing the grand council sea-'
si oil. •
CHICAGO. July 20.—Six hundred
million dollars was added to the pay
envelope of "the nation's 2.300.000
railroad workers today in the first
award handed down by the United
Stales Railway Labor board.
Rejecting the demands of the or
ganized rail tinions for increases
totaling approximately one billion
dollars, the board decided approxi
mately sixty per cent of that sum
’rruld be a just Increase to meet
present living conditions.
The increases roughly averaged
from 20 to 27 per cent. Demands by
the unions had run from 30 to 66 per
cent.
The maximum increase granted
any class was eighteen cents an
hour, or $36.72 per month. The big
gest pay check due when the back
pay settlement is made August 1,
will be for $110.14. Engineers, fire
men and helpers in the yard service
will receive this amount.
Acceptable to Railroads
The railroads, it was announced
after a conference with the Western
Managers* association, will accept
the board’s award nd apply its terns
immediately.
Presidents and general officers of
the five big brotherhoods went into
executive session immediately after
the decision was handed down and
indicated they would have nothing
to say before late today.
The union men, as a whole, do not
seem satisfied with the increases au
thorized, but there was no talk prior
to the executive session of a general
strike. The belief grew that the
leaders would submit the question to
» referendum vote of their men.
The award adds approximately 21
per cent to the present pay sched
ules. Railroad officials have de
clared that any pay increase
* ed the men must be followed by a
corresponding increase in fates, and
they plan, it is said, to file new
tariffs with the Interstate Com
merce oommission as soon as they
can be prepared.
Strikers Ignored.
Demands of the railroad men who
struck last April and formed new
unions are ignored by the board. No
reference is made to the strikers or
their demands. The board had re
fused to hear representatives of the
new unions, holding, with the old
brotherhoods, that the men were al
ready represented by the officials of
the recognized unions.
In addition to the sixteen recog
nized brotherhoods, two other unions,
the International Assocfation of Rail
road Supervisors of Mechanics and
the American Train Dispatchers’
union, are made a party to the de
cision. More than 400 railroads are
- specifically named as parties.
The decision provides that in case
of- a dispute as to the interpretation
of the decision the question shall
oc- referred to the board for decision,
ihe law does not require, however,
.iat either > side must accept the
■.. ward. ft
T he decision provides that the daily
ticease shall be computed as eight
irr.es the hourly rate and the month
,y increase, as 204 times the hourly
jhedule.
Now Before Union Men
Whether the award as given will
stave off the threat of a general rail
road strike remains to be seen. The
leaders of practically every one or
ihe sixteen big railroad unions were
present this morning when Judge R.
M. Barton, chairman of the board,
handed down the decision. They left
immediately to present the award to
1,000 general chairmen, who had
gathered here to pass on Its accep
tability. The union presidents re
fused to make any comment before
• the meeting. The approximate terms
of the decision had been known to
them yesterday and they believed
then their men would stay in line, at
least until a referendum vote can be
taken* Nearly a month will be
needed for the referendum.
The board’s decision Is retroactive
to May 1. As the maximum in
crease granted any class was fifteen
cents an hour, or $30.60 per month,
the biggest back pay check due when
the settlement is made August 1
will be $91.80. The board provides
that the back pay checks shall be
made out separately so each man
will know the amount he receives
from that source.
Seven Things Considered
Seven things were taken into con
sideration in arriving at the award,
the preamble of the board’s an
nouncement says. They were: The
» scale paid for similar kinds of work
in other industries; the relation be
tween wages and the cost of living;
the hazards of the employment;
training and skill required; degree
of responsibility; character and regu
larity of the employment, and in
equality in increases and treatment
resulting from previous wage or
ders. >
“Those persons who consider the
rates determined on herein too high
should reflect on the abnormal con
ditions resulting from the high cost
of living and the high rates now be
ing paid in other industry,” tho
board said.

Day Coaches Empty, Laborers
Riding in Pullmans Nowadays
An elderly Russian, with beard and
skull cap and all the other appurte
nances of the Ghetto, strolled Into
Grand Central Station, New York.
One of those personages, technically
known as "trouble shooters,” whose
mission In life Is to prevent travelers
from demanding tickets to Boston at
the New York Central windows, ap
proached the patriarch with a kind
ly offer of assi/stance.
“I wish to go to a big city,” said
the Russian, in acents that matched
his beard.
“What city?”
“I don’t know —any nice, big city.”
“Well, don’t you know where
you’e going?”
“I just want to go to a nice, big
city.”
“How about Yonkers?”
Shows Disdain for Yonkers
Even on Avenue C they know that
Yonkers is not classed among the
scenic marvels of the country. The
patriarch shook his head in disdain.
“Well, how’d you like San Fran
cisco?”
“Is that a nice, big city? All right.
How much does it cost?”
“One hundred dollars and fifty
cents,” said the “trouble shooter.”
The traveler pulled out a wad of
bills—in the gossip of the Grand
Central the wad was said to have
been as big as a canteloupe—and
carelessly pulled off a SIOO bill and
a $1 bill.
“What time does the train go?”
said he.
And that was the end of the story
and the beginning of the journey for
the Russian, but in the office of Pitt
Hand, publicity director for the New
York Central railroad, the Incident
was seized upon as characteristic
of the state of travel in the United
States this season.
Fnllmans at a Premium
Never was there such a demand
for the luxury of travel. Pullman
cars are at a premium, while the day
coaches ride empty. Laboring peo
ple are making use of their high
wages to see the country as they
never saw it before. The coaches
used to be occupied all night by
people who could not afford berths.
and flagmen were given 8%-cent
rstisGS.
Laborers in roundhouses and shops,
such as w’ipers, flue borers, etc., ob
tained a 10-cent Increase.
Shop employes, including super
visory employes, machinists, boiler
makers and all Classes of skilled la
bor and their helpers and apprentices,
were awarded 13-cent increase. Car
cleaners were given 5 cents.
All telegraphers and telephone men,
except as otherwise provided for,
agent telegraphers and lower men,
tower and train directors, block oper
ators and staff men were advanced 10
cents per hour. Agents at non-tele
graph stations were raised 5 cents
per hour.
Stationary engineers, firemen and
their helpers were raised 13 cents;
boiler room water tenders and coal
passers, ten cents.
Signal Department
In the signal department an ad
vance of 13 cents per hour was
awarded foremen, their helpers and
inspectors, gang foremen and main
tainers, signal men and assistants.
Helpers were given ten cents.
Train dispatchers were given an
increase of 13 cents per hour. Yar«-
masters and their assistants were
awarded 15 cent advances.
In addition, the board superseded
former wages for master, mates and
pilots on railroad operated steam
ship lines, setting the wages on a
monthly basis with differentials, ac
cording to the harbor.
In New York harbor, masters, pl- I
lots or captains of ferry boats were j
given $220 tier month; mates and
first officers $l5O per month.
The boat captains were awarded (
$220 per month; pilots on coal tow- 1
ing lines S2OO per month and mates
$l5O per month.
In the Philadelphia, Camden and
Wilmington district ferry boat mas
ters were given $190.30; extra pilots
$150.22; tug boat captains $150.96;
mates slll.
In the New Orleans district wages
were set at $230 for captains of
most steamers, listed by names.
Master pilots were awarded $220.
Exceptions were “El Vivo” and “El
Listo” of the Southern Pacific on
which masters were awarded $155
per month. For .the same line’s
“Restless” the wage was fixed at
SISO.
In the Newport News, Hampton
Roads and Norfolk district wages
were fixed according to the boat or
tug. For tug captains the wage was
set at from $163 to $l9O per month.
Steamship captains ranged from
$l9O to $250 per month.
Officials Not Included
The board specifically avoided de
termining compensation for officials
of the various roads.
The decision of the board was not
unanimous. The award declared the
increases represented the “judg
ment of the majority of the board.”
No announcement was made of the
individual stand of members.
NO SERIOUS TROUBLE IS
FEARED IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, July 20.- Gov-
ernment officials today expressed
the belie'’ th°t ti>9 orgarized. railroad
unions Will accept the award of the
but this season everybody Insists
on having a berth.
“The king of England couldn’t get
a berth to the Adirondacks this week
end,” said Mr. Hand. “The Twen
tieth Century Limited, which used
to run in one section, and which in
special emergencies like holidays
ran two sections, now runs three
and four. The Lake Shore and the
Wolverine run three sections. These
are extra-fare trains, remember—all
Pullman cars,. The regular through
trains half filled.”
As further proof of the Increase
in Pullman car travel, ten new tick
et windows have been installed in
the Grand Central Station —five for
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford | Railroad and five for the New
York Central lines. Railroad and
Pullman tickets are sold at all these
windows.
kAll Records Broken
Befora the war 8,000 travelers a
day was a record for the Grand Cen
tral. with a few holidays reaching
10,000. This year 12,000 is common
for the week-ends, and they are ex
pecting 15,000 for the Fourth of
July vacation.
The same story Is told by officials
of other railroads. Increased Pull
man car travel was explained by the
spokesman for the New York. New
Haven & Hartford Railroad, George
T. Riggs.
“Up through Bridgeport and other
industrial towns of New England,”
he said, “the Pullman cars are filled
with laboring people, those employ
ed in the big munition factories and
mill towns, where high wages pre
vail.
“There is not a railroad In the
country that has Pullmans enough to
accommodate the new public. This is
partly due to the fact that the Pull
man company built no new cars dur
ing the war. and many were trans
formed into hospital cars, but is also
attributable to the new-found wealth
in the pockets of the laboring peo
ple. It is delightful to see these
people, who never used to travel, en
joying the luxuries of the parlor car,
sleeper and dining car. No more
sandwiches in paper bundles for
them!”
Pearl Diving Regarded
As Event of Year in
French Settlements
PAPEETE, TAHITI. —The open
ing of the pearl-diving season, the
great event of the year in the French
settlements, comes in July. Diving
is not permitted for two years in
succession at the same island. The
various pearl islands are opened in
rotation. This means that all gear,
stocks of merchandise and btfilding
material must be taken to a new
island each year—no small undertak
en when it is remembered that the
coral atoll, which in ordinary times
supports less than 200 persons, be
comes in the diving season the abid
ing place of 2,500 or more.
This year the open island is
Hikueru, one of the Paumotu archi
pelago, 400 miles to the eastward of
Tahiti.
Already this lonely atoll is taking
on a metropolitan appearance. The
profits to be gained come not only
from the pearshell won from the la
goon, but from the sale of all kinds
of wares dear to the native heart,
and from the providing of entertain
ment to refresh the weary diver and
his women folk after the labors of
the day ate over. The average na
tive diver wins a good sum from
the bottom of the lagoon, and much
of it goes on expensive silk dresses
for his wife and daughters, on the
delectable canned goods of the "popaa”
(white man) and on the “movies.”
i This year there are to be, it is
I said, three moving picture theaters,
i any number of motor cars for hire
I —the length of , the roadway in
Hikueru is less than half a mile, but
j that apparently does not make any
! difference—a brass band and, it is
1 reported, electric lights along the
‘ “great white way” of this little ring
: of coral sand.
Late advices indicate that the sea
! son year at Hikueru will be the
i most active in many years. It is
j estimated there will be at least 1,-
' 000 divers at the island. These, to
; gether with their families and the
i traders with their staffs, will swell
the population of the island during
j the season to nearly 4,000.
Costs More to Be Born
NEW YORK.—Doctors of Staten
Island used to charge $25 when a
I baby was born.. Now they have
I booster the price to SSO. Twins will
cost S9O. Regular‘visits will also
l cost moije.

today.
In case it does not prove agree
able to the men, it was said, no
strike is anticipated. The proper
course would be to again appeal to
the board with new evidence, it was
pointed out.

on the ground that the labor board
was a semi-judicial body.

DEMOCRATS FEEL
SURE OF VICTORY
WITH GOV. COX
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
COLUMBUS, O„ July 20.—This is a
miniature convention and not mere
ly. a meeting of the Democratic na
tional committee. For there are 106
members of the committee instead of
the women holding equal rank
as the representatives of their re
spective states and territories. The
atmosphere here is one not un
like a national convention, for in the
first place there has been a contest
over the selection of a national
chairman which has tended to bring
to the surface some of the arguments
for and against the Wilson regime
which circulated on the convention
lloor and in the lobbies in San Fran
cisco and there is, however, a mili
tancy and a determined air which
may surprise Republicans when they
encounter it, for unquestionably tne
majority of the Democratic leaders
are honestly convinced that they are
going to win with Cox.
The Democratic nominee gave a
splendid and opportune exhibition of
loyalty to political friends when he
issued a statement saying his per
sonal choice for national chairman
was Edward Moore, of Youngstown
Ohio, who managed the pre-conven
tion campaign for the winner at San
Francisco, but he did not issue that
statement until after conferring
with Homer Cummings, national
chairman. And the inference is that
Mr. Cummings explained that he.
too, was not seeking re-election as
chairma*n. Indeed, Mr. Moore earlier
in the day had been quoted by in
timate friends as declining the posi
tion.
Cox Clears First Hurdle
So Governor Cox will have really
cleared his first hurdle by avoiding
the impression of ingratitude to his
friend Ed Mo,ore and at the same
time, with the choice of Cummings,
the governor draws to his aid much
of the Wilson strength in the Demo
cratic party where the name of Cum
mings is more or lesssynonymous
with that of Wilson, especially in the
west and particularly after the key
not speech which Cummings deliver
ed at San Francisco. In fact some
anti-Wilson have openly
said that they believed It wiser to
pick some one else beside Cummings,
because Governor Cox had gone so
far in his conference at the White
House last Sunday as to give the im
pression of complete surrender to
Wilson. On the other hand, the job
of Governor Cox, who already has
the anti-Wilson following behind
him, is to acquire a good hold on the
Wilson branch of the party and when
ha once has solidified his own ranks
then he can take up the attack
against Republicanism.
There is no doubt as to the confi
dence of the Democrats gathered
here, but whether it is going to be
vindicated on election day Is another
question, but admittedly the leaders
think their chances have improved in
the last three months from an almost
hopeless outlook to a good chance.
The nominations of Harding at Chi
cago and Cox at San Francisco are
the sole reasons for the change from
despair to hopefulness.
The Democratic leaders say the
country was Impatient for the change
from the Wilson administration and
that the Democratic convention sat
isfied that eravng by selecting a man
who will select a new cabinet and
give the country a new deal, but
mostly the Democrats who are going
out to wage the campaign in forty
eight states point to the Republiacn
nominee as one of their chief assets.
Search Harding’s Record
It was somewhat amusing to
the committeemen from far-away ag
ricultural states looking up Har
ding's record. This visit to Ohio
gave them a chance to verify ru
mors which they had heard concern
ing Senator Harding’s stand on pub
lic institutions. For instance, Sam
Amidon, national committeeman
from Kansas, a state which has had
a grievance against the Wilson ad
wheat and not fixing th* price of cot
wheat and not fixin gthe price of cot
ton, discovered amid great glee that
Warren Harding had made a speech
in the senate when he voted for the
food control act, declaring in effect
that a dollar was enough for a bushel
of wheat.
This speech was printed and sent
broadcast by Republican opponents
of Senator Harding in the presiden
tial primary campaign this year in
which Harding ran behind Wood,
Lowden and Johnson. The Demo
crats collected ammunition eagerly.
Another committeeman discovered
that there had been a divorce in the
Harding family which would offset
in his judgment any hesitancy on
the part of women voters to cast
their ballots for Governor Cox, whose
divorce suit had been discussed from
political viewpoints at San Francis
co and had been mentioned as a pos
sible weapon by Republican party
workers in the precincts where word
of mouth argument is supreme.
Another committeeman had a copy
of Senator Harding s record at the
sessions of the senate which tended
to show that the Ohio senator was
absent a good deal. Os course, the
value of this argument may be ques
tioned, for a great many people, who
don’t think the talk-fests of the sen
ate are worth attending anyway, may
argue that the Ohio senator showed
rare judgment by paying away.
Before the week is over the Repub
lican executive committee and the
Republican hosts will come here en
route to Marion, thirty miles away,
where the notification of Senator
Harding will be held on Thursdaj.
The Republicans will dig into Gov
ernor Cox’s record and make use of
their pi-esence in Ohio to‘ follow out
the real facts about the governor s
attitude on the liquor question, wMch
will be such a vital factor in Demo
cratic strength in the populous east
ern states. Already one hears sug
gestions that the governor shifted
considerably on the liquor issue, and.
of coufse, if his record is vulnerable,
the country will hear about it through
the Republican ammunition gath
eFOhio is certainly the. political cen
ter of the country, full of poli
ticians, committeemen and commit
teewomen office seekers, would-be
sneakers, correspondents and the
usual caravan which follows in the
wake of presidential nominees.

Carrollton Cooks Meet
Acid Test in Catering to
Georgia Newspaper Folk
By WARD GREENE
(Staff Correspondent of The journal.)
CARROLLTON, Ga., July 20.—The
cooks of Carrollton this morning en
tered the second round of the Geor
gia Press association meeting a trifle
more winded than they expected to
be after their first encounter with
the members, but determined to hold
out to the last disfi. Aunt Maizie
Pritchett, who presides over the
range in the particular household
where Uncle Jimmie Williams is
guest of honor, summed Up the sit
uation when she remarked to her
neighbor over the back fence last
night: “Chile, I’se seen field hands
eat and I’se seen preachers eat,
but dese heah editors is de outeat
inest men what ever laid holt of
vtttals.”
What applies to the Greensboro
Greeley holds good for the rest of
the bunch, for the state’s newspaper
men in Carrollton today from the
mountains and from the wire grass
have brought their appetites with
them, knowing full well what was
in store. And Carrollton has fully
lived up to their expectations. While
two meals and about 200 fried chick
ens have passed into history already,
it seems safe to predict at this writ
ing that the cooks will outlast the
editors a,nd that the plentiful pan
tries and (the hospitable P a yts or
Carroll county folk will outlast them
both, the only slip up in this prog
nostication would be for Jack Pat
terson to take too many constitu
tionals, in which case all bets aie
off.
All Callad Off But Supper
The prime factor contributing .o
the showing the editors are making
as trenchermen was their late di
rival last night. The convention is
in full swing on its business pro
gram, but last night the tra.n Horn
Atlanta was so late that the entire
program for the evening was called
off, except supper, a decision on the
part of President Kelley Simmons
which nobody seemed to mind,
Billy Sutlive, who was down for a
speech and was almost exploding
with puns upon arrival.
The editors found Carro.lton dress
ed in her best to welcome them as
befitted one of the oldest, most his
toric and richest counties in the
state. The public square was be
decked with bunting from the Con
federate monument to the city hall
and back again, and from every
building and even from Private
homes flaunted banners and slogans
of greeting. A fleet of fifty auto
mobiles lined up at the station
waited for hours for the late Lain,
while the board of trade reception
committee patted trteir feet Imp.t
tiently.
If further honor or attention was
needed it was furnished by the
unique fact that the mayor of Car
rollton himself was at the throttle
of the engine bringing the editors
in. He is honoratue H. W. Flour
noy, ■whose job when not mayorlng
is driving the engine Duggan
which hauls the Central of Georgia
train on which the editors rode.
It was after 9 o’clock when the
Duggan whistled for Carrollton, and
the gang piled off. President Sim
mons. Vice President Sutlive, Secre
taries Hal Stanley and Charlie
Benns. Treasurer J. J. Howell and
all the rest, including a number of
wives and at least two women mem
bers of the association. Miss Emily
Woodward, of the Vienna News, and
Mrs. John Holder, of the Jackson
County Herald.
Because of the calling off of last
night’s meeting the program this
morning began at 9 o'clock.
speakers were Sam Hyman, of the
Sandersville Progress; M. L. Fleet
wood, of the Cartersville Tribune-
News; W. H. Blynn. of the Dublin
Courier-Herald; J. F. Shannon, of
the Commerce News; Jack McCart

■Washington Seems Winner
Unless some now unknown dark
horse enters the running the Geor
gia Press association will meet next
year in Washington. This seems a
foregone conclusion, in face ot the
warm invitation brought to the con
vention by Will W. Brunner and R.
O Barksdale, of the Washington
News-Reporter, and Gordon S. Chap
man and Sam Hyman, of the San
dersville Progress. Several members
of the executive committee already
have declared their intention of
voting for Washington. The final
decision will be made at the last
business session of the convention
Wednesday morning. There is, per
haps, no other convention in the
state so eagerly sought for by so
many Georgia towns as the press
convention, for it is the ideal con
vention for a city of the smaller
size to entertain, and when it meets
in a city that city has the oppor
tunity to win the hearts of a group
of men better able to boost her
than any other.
The advance dope indicates that
the Georgia Press association, as
per custom, will re-elect its present
officers for a second term. They are

Record Broken
The Atlanta Journal’s representa
tives at the press convention broke
a record on their trip to Carrollton,
the particular record smashed was
that of driving without mishap from
starting point to destination in the
automobile of John Paschall, man
aging editor. In the past five years
or over, since Mr. Paschall acquired
his first automobile, he has won all
medals for long distance disasters.
The mildest calamity that has ever
happened to him was to acquire six
punctures on one road between At
lanta and Griffin. The most heart
breaking was the marooning of his
car on the top of the tallest moun
tain in Union county from whence it
was removed in a dray and a flat
car in nine hundred and forty-two
separate pieces. Onb would think
that Mr. Paschall would have learn
ed his lesson, but he has an earpest
soul, in his breast the gleam of hope
will not die. Thus, he decided to
buck his jinx again and drive to
Carrollton, even though the drench
ing rains of Sunday and ominous
clouds overhead made the day most
inauspicious.
Well, he did it with two witnesses
along to testify to the feat—Waltet
Winn and I M. A. Dubb, cousin of
the well-known J. J. Dubb —did it
without so much as a busted spring.
Os course we got a puncture last
night while the car was simplj
standing still in front of the hotel,
but then we can’t have everything.
In discussing the record, we have
come to the conclusion that the only
reason assignable is the fact that
Mr. Patterson, who was to have
made it a foursome, decided to catch
the train instead. The automobile
would never, we believe, have got
farther than Fairburn with Mr, Pat
terson overflowing the back seat, in
proof of which there Is.the train two
h ours late.
Highways and Bridges
Around Anderson, S. C. r
Damaged m Cloudburst
ANDERSON, S. C„ July 20.
Heavy damage was done to new
roads and bridges in Anderson coun
ty last night by a rainstorm which
at times reached the proportions of a
cloudburst. The engine of Blue Ridge
passenger train No. 3 overturned at
Watson’s crossing, near Anderson,
killing the negro fireman and shak
ing up a number of passengers. The
accident is believed to have been due
to the rails spreading because ol
the water-soaked condition of the
roadbed. The Piedmont and Northern
Electric railway’s line into the city
is out of commission because of dam-:
age to trestjes between Anderson
and Belton.
Several cbtton mills and other
manufacturing enterprises located
near streams were flooded. Damage
to crops was extensive. The storm
was accompanied by a brilliant Elec
trical display and considerable dam
age was done to telephone and power
lines in the city.

EMULATE GRADY,
SENATOR SMITH
ADVISES EDITORS
BY WARD GREENE
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal.)
CARROLLTON, Ga., July 20.
United States Senator Hoke Smith,
speaking before the Georgia Press
association this morning, advised the
editors of Georgia to follow in the
footsteps of Henry Grady.
Senator Smith dropped in as a
visitor to the convention along with
a number of other prominent Geor
gians. When asked to speak, he said
that he hesitated to intrude. He did
not mention politics in his brief ad
dress. Instead, he commented on the
growth of county newspapers as he
had watched them through the years
and recommended that the editors
continue to devote their energies to
boosting local institutions.
“The more I read the writings of
other men,” said Senator Smith, "the
more I admire the writings and
speeches of Henry W. Grady. The
secret of Grady’s talent, I believe,
was his genuine love for Georgia.
He loved the red hills of north Geor
gia, he loved middle Georgia, he
loved the plains of south Georgia, he
loved the people of Georgia. The
best advice I can give you editors is
to love Georgia as Henry Grady did.”
The editors’ convention Tuesday
morning was opened with an invoca
tion by Rev. J. M. Dodd. Addresses
of welcome were made by C. E. Roop
and Senator E. T. Steed. The re
sponse was made by Dan G. Bickers,
associate editor of the Savannah
Morning News. G. E. Comer, secre
tarv-manager of the board of trade,
presided. The principal speech of
the. morning was by George E. Hos
mer, of Bradentown, Fla., past presi
dent of the National Editorial asso
ciation, who invited the Georgia
Press association to affiliate with
the national association. President
Simmons appointed a committee to
consider the advisability of taking
such action.
Mr. Hosmer was elected an hon
orary member of the Georgia associa
tion. Honorary membership was also
conferred on W. Trox Bankston, for
mer editor of the West Point News,
whose plant was destroyed In the
flood last fall.
The morning session adjourned at
1-30 for an old-time Georgia barbecue
tendered bv J. J. Thomasson, editor oi
the Carroli County Times.

The Same -A« When The Mercury

How To Make The Test That Telld
Actual Wood tests show that a tremen-*
<fous large number of people who are weak
and ill lack iron in their blood and that they
are ill for no other reason than lack of iron.
Iron deficiency paralyzes healthy, forceful
action, pulls down the whole organ ism and
weakens the entire system. A pale face, a
nervous irritable disposition, a lack of
strength and endurance and the inability to
cope with the strong vigorous folks in the
race of life—these are the sort of warning
signals that Nature gives when the blood is
getting thin, pale, watery and literally starv
ing for want of iron. If you ere not sure of
your condition, go to your doctor and have
him take your blood count and see where
you stand or else make the following test
yourself: See how long you can work of
how far you can walk without becoming
tired; next take two five-grain tablets of
Nuxated Iron three times per day after
steals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see how much you have
gained. By enriching the blood and creating
new red blood cellsyNuxated Iron strength
ens the nerves, rebuilds the weakened tissues
and helps to instill renewed energy and
power into the whole systfcm.
Inlike the older inorganic Jron products
luxated Iron is easily assimilated, does not
injure the teeth, make them black nor upset
the stomach. The manufacturers guarantee
euccessful and entirely satisfactory results
to every purchaser or they will refund your
money. It is dispensed by all good druggists.
