2 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.

I. .mill i ji j A '-"-I - 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.

The proper course would be to again appeal to the board with new evidence, it was pointed out. Officials did not care to be quoted, on the ground that the labor board was a semi-judicial body. Heads of the Association of Rail way Executives are not in Washing ton. but it is understood that the de cision is acceptable to them. 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. gallstone troubles A new booklet written by Dr. E.

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 ney, of the Rome Tribune-Herald; John H. Jones, of the LaGrange Re porter; Miss Woodward and George E. Hosmer, of Bradentown, Fla., past president of, the National Edi torial association. ■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 J. Kelley Simmons, of Mcßae, pres ident; W. G. Sutlive, of Savannah, "While bobbing around on the waves Violet decided to get out and push the little boat to shore. It was way over her head and the three boys pulled her back into the boat. Late at night little Robert fell over board and Merwin plunged in and saved him. The children took turns watching for passing ships, while the others slept. All four agree that “it was awful dark out there,’ and they don’t want any more boat rides. first vice president; C. D. Round tree, of Wrightsville, second vice president; Ernest Camp, of Monroe, third vice president; C. E. Benns, of Butler, secretary; H. M. Stanley, of Atlanta, corresponding secretary and J. J. Howell, of Cuthbert, treas urer. Kellev Simmons in the past year has made the association one of the best presidents in its history. He has been indefagable in his la bors for the association, strengthen ing it in membership, in harmony and in standards. Know your business has been the motto of his administration, and he has in very truth helped the mem bers to know their business as many of them have never before. 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. Large Sugar Cargo Here NEW ORLEANS. July 20.—Tim largest cargo of Java sugar ever shipped here and the first consigned to this port for several years, was in the mouth of the river today in the hold of the Japanese steamship Y’ei Suku Marti, of the Osaka Sho shen Kaisha. The cargo is consigned to the Chal metter refinery of the American Re fining company, and consists of 76,- 000 bags. PELLAGRA Is Curable—Our Way: No Cure No Pay.

THURSDAY 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.

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.

Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained.
