SOUTHERN BUYERS
ARE CONFIDENT OF
DROP IN PRICES
Eager purchasing failed to dimin
ish southern merchandise stocks in
August, according to the report Sat
urday of Federal Reserve Agent
Joseph A. McCord, of the Sixth dis
trict.
Warehouses are' full and shelves
overflowing, he said.
Department stores sold an average
of 34.3 per cent more in August than
in July, they reported to the agent,
but, at the end of the month, their
stocks remained 5.9 per cent larger
than the month before and 32.2 great
er than August, 1919. With ;t all.
however, they said buyers evidenced
confidence that a sharply lower scale
of prices is just ahead.
Tennessee hardware dealers pro
fessed to foresee somewhat higher
prices due to freight rate increases;
other dealers showed varying expec
tations.
Demand Lag's Behind
The increasing demand that still
lags behind supply was reported just
as evident in money as other com
modities in the district—a high level
of loans, but a correspondingly high
level of deposits.
“This condition does not materially
change the ability of the banks in the
district to handle the crop moving
from those of former years,” the re
port continesu, “and no anxiety is be
ing felt for financing. When the move
ment of cotton gets well under way,
liquidation should begin and condi
tions should be greatly relieved.”
Meanwhile, the condition of the
cotton crop August 25 was markedly
lower than a month before, except
in Tennessee, where the decline was
but one point, it was reported. Cot
ton conditions for the district was
60.5 August 25, and 69.5 in July.
Georgia cotton declined 13 to 14
points. Southern Alabama crops
were heavily damaged by boll weevil,
shedding and boll rot. Florida cot
ton suffered in rains and by boll
weevil, the report said.
Louisiana Crops Vary
Louisiana crops • showed varying
conditions. Rice was reported dam
aged by rains slightly, causing the
crop condition to drop to 90 per cent
of normal. Sugar, however, showed
a smart improvement, jumping from
a 56 per cent condition to 75 per
cent, with a gross production in
crease of 1,424 tons predicted.
Louisiana cotton was off 16 points to
a 55 per cent standing.
Lumber shipments were held up by
shortage of cars, manufacturers de
clared, and many mills curtailed their
outputs, and still others have shut
down entirely. Lack of confidence
among buyers in high prices was
credited with causing the general
dullness In the lumber market.
RETAIL PRICES OF 48
COMMODITIES ARE CUT
. WASHING|TON, Sept. 25. —Approx-
imately 248 articles of food, clothing
and manufactured commodities now
have been forced into the retail and
wholesale price slashing movement
which is spreading over the entire
country, according to government re
ports today.
Retail prices of forty-eight com
modities have been cut according to
lists compiled by the labor depart
ment.
Wholesale prices of approximately
150 commodities are represented in
groups of articles in which prices
have slumped from 1 to 11 per cent.
In addition the commerce depart
ment average export price lists show
slumps in fifty-four out of eighty
commodities listed. Scores of ar
ticles of food and manufactured prod
ucts now have been reduced in price
for export although they still are
selling at the old prices in the United
States. This indicates, however, of
ficials said, that soon these prices
will go down in the American mar
ket. '
Rents, building materials and fin
ished dwellings seem to present the
one exception to general price cut
ting movement. The country now is
approximately five years behind in
its building needs, according to of
ficials of the United States Housing
corporation. -
Among the articles now embraced
in the price cutting by retail, dealers
are:
Potatoes, 44 per cent; cabbage, 41
per cent; sugar, 14; onions, 16; ba
nanas, 5; chuck roast and lard, 4
per cent each; sirloin and rc/und
stead, rib roast, plate beef, lamb and
flour, 3 per cent each; cheese, rice,
navy beans, coffee and oranges. 2
per cent each; butter, oleomargarine,
corn meal and canned corn, 1 each.
Retail price cuts have been reported
in shoes, hats and men’s and women’s
suits; cloths, both cotton and wool
en, candy and bituminous coal, which
slumped from $2 to ?3 per ton in
the eastern states.
Groups of commodities in which
wholesale price decreases have been
reported are farm products, 5.9 per
cent; foods, 11 per cent; clothing and

CATTLE DIPPING
TO CONTINUE IN
SPITE OF BLASTS
The disinfection of tick-infested
cattle in Lowndes county will con
tinue in spite of the destruction by
dynamite of eleven dipping vats in
the southeastern portion of the coun
ty some weeks ago, it was announced
Friday by Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, state
veterinarian.
The law requires cattle to be dis
infected in every county which has
not been freed of cattle ticks and re
leased from quarantine. Dipping
vats are built for the purpose. The
disinfection consists in applying to
tho cattle a solution of arsenic. Dip
ping in vats is not the only method
of applying this solution, although
it is by far the most efficient and
speedy method. The solution can be
applied by means of a hand spray.
The county commissioners of
Lowndes county constructed a large
number of vats for the use of catttle
owners, as did many other counties
in the cattle territory of Georgia.
Eleven of these vats in the south
eastern part of the county were de
stroyed by dynamite some weeks ago,
supposed by- persons who _ are
posed to the eradication of the cattle
tick and who resent the requirements
put upon them by the cattle tick law.
But the cattle in southeast
Lowndes county will not escape dis
infection, states Dr. Bahnsen. Jio
tices are being Issued to owners of
cattle in that section to in E their
cattle to the locations of the ae
stroyed dipping vats at intervals of
fourteen days, and on * rrl 7!rni sh fd
these locations they will he t urnls “®h
free With hand sprays and SUPP
of solution, and will be re /l uir ® <^ J. o
spray their cattle under the super
vision of state and federal tick erad
ication experts.

Holding Potatoes
For Higher Prices
CARIBOU, Me., Sept. 25. The
greater part of the Aroostook county
potato crop will be o 4?o
higher prices, if plans of potato
growers are carried out.
Facing a season of low prices,
erowers are said to have made prepa
rations to store in the numerous
warehouses throughout Maine their
present crop of potatoes until higher
prices are offered.
Growers declare they have been of
fered $2 a barrel for their potatoes,
but this price, they claim, is just
$1 less than it cost them to grow

is forthcoming.

HYPOCRISY IS
CHARGED TO
T. W. HARDWICK
Thomas W. Hardwick Is putting
up a smoke screen of trivialities to
divert attention from his record in
congress as the friend of the trusts
and moneyed interests and his pres
ent affiliations as the paid attorney
of a representative of the Russian
soviet, according to a statement Is
sued Saturday by Clifford Walker.
“When the bomb thrower* is
abroad in the land,” says Mr. Walk
er, “the people are not going to
elect the paid attorney of these for
eigners as their governor.”
He again accuses Mr. Hardwick
of political hypocrisy in denouncing
the espionage law throughout the
present campaign, when in point of
fact he J voted in the senate for the
passage of the law.
He reiterates his previous charges
that Mr. Hardwick in the national
house and senate demonstrated his
friendship for the trusts and mon
eyed interests, and his lack of
friendship for the masses, by his
votes on various measures.

and sallied forth to ’make a hit

CARRIER PIGEONS 1
.FOR MISSOURI
RELEASED HERE
Two carrier pigeons, bearing mes
sages from Mayor Key, of Atlanta, to
Governor Gardner, of Missouri, were
released at Five Points . Saturday
morning at 10 o’clock. The feathered
couriers are the Atlanta representa

the United Drug company, which
holds its international convention in
St. Louis, beginning Tuesday morn
ing. Four thousand nine hundred and
ninety-eight other homing pigeons,
flying from points within the United
States, are in the race. It is ex
pected that the Atlanta pigeons will
reach St. Louis with twenty-four
hours.
Little Miss Josephine Thompson,
six-yeai*-old daughter of ; H . C.
Thompson, southern manager for the
Liggett Drug Stores, was th'e official
representative for Mayor Key at the
starting ceremony. She released the
pigeons promptly at 10 o’clock,
while hundreds of people gathered to
see them off. Both birds were larg§,
slate gray homing pigeons. When
released, they flew through the tiol
ley wires to the first story of the
Fourth National Bank building, where
they perched for a second. Then at
top speed they “took off” toward St.
Louis byway of Marietta street.
The pigeon race marks the opening
of the international convention
of the United Drug company, owners
of the Liggett chain of drug stores,
and manufacturers of Rtxall prod
ucts. The Georgia delegation to the
convention will leave Atlanta on
special cars at 8:30 o’clock Sunday
night, going over the N., C. & St. L.
to St. Louis. More than fifty dele
gates, representing 350 drug stores
in Georgia, South Carolina and b'lor
ida, will mdke the trip. The party
will be under the leadership of M. D.
Hodges, of Marietta, president of the
Georgia Rexall club. Atlanta men
who will make the trip are H. C.
Thompson, southern general manager
for the Liggett stores; J. E. Bost,
Georgia representative at the con
vention; G. C. Robinson, and H. M.
Mann, managers of the two Liggett
stores in Atlanta.
The convention will be attended
by representatives of the 8,000 drug
stores in America which sell Rexall
products, and by more than 250 Lig
gett stores, all of which are owned
by the United Drug company. In ad
dition to this there will be a delega
tion from Canada, and one from the
British Isles. The British delegation
will be headed by Sir Thomas Rob
ertson.
Georgia delegates to the conven
tion have announced that they are
going to make a determined eliort to

Citizen Guard Will
Help Knoxville Police
Search for Marauder
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 25.—A
conference of law ‘enforcement offi
cers today studied plans to capture
the terrorist whofee latest periodic
outbreak has just resulted in the
death of his sixth victim in the last
few months. ,
Knoxville awoke this morning
after a restless night in which offi
cers had made unusual efforts to
arrest the marauder who assaulted
and then killed. Hundreds of wom
en and girls slept with pistols be
neath their pillows—the advice of
Attorney General Mynatt. Many
shots were fired in various parts of
the city at real/ or imaginary in
truders, but the police dragnet
showed an empty haul.
All policemen had been removed
from their beats and men in plain
clothes substituted. Citizen guards
will supplement the regular police
force, the conference today decided.
Curfew at midnight will be en
forced and strict accounting made
of known drug addicts.
Descriptions by the man’s 'victims
agreed only that he came with a
pistol and a flashlight. They were
uncertain whether he is white or
black, but the police believe he is
white. He is either a drug addict
or a maniac, they add, pointing out
that his victims range from 10 to 65
years in age.
Rewards offered for the man
reached $1,500 today, including Gov
ernor Roberts’ SSOO and S4OO offered
by citizens.

Calomel salivates! It’s mercury. /1A
Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish IWJ I
liver. When calomel comes into contact* ) J
with sour bile it crashes into it, causing k |j , j
cramping and nausea. \ /
Take “Dodson’s Liver Tone” Instead.
"Dodson’s Liver Tone” is a pleas
ant, vegetable liquid which starts
your liver jbst as surely as calomel,
but doesn’t make you sick and can
not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because It is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones

F IS JUST AS YOUNG 1
t AND STRONG AS HIS BLOOD
• No man can fight the battles of life and hold his own if
his blood is not pure, for rich red blood is what strength is
based upon. When you see a strong, vigorous man, who
never knows when he is licked, you may wager that such a
man has coursing through his veins rich, red blood. Many
people have thin, ; pale blood. They are weak, tire easily,
become discouraged quickly, and sometimes feel like giving
up the struggle. Such folks i;eed Dr. Pier. e’s Golden Medh
cal Discovery,- which is sold by druggists hi liquid or tablet
form.
It adds vigor to the heart beats and tones up the nerves
in a wonderful way. This “Medical Discovery” of Dr. Pierce’s
is made from Blood root, Oregon Grape root, Stone root,
contains no alcohol—yet tones up the stomach, stimulates the
liver and puts the blood making glands in the .best of condi
tion. Many people write Dr. Pierce at the Invalids’ Hotel in
Buffalo, N. Y., as follows:
ORLANDO. FLA.—“I had exposed myself to every inclement
weather while doing my farm work. I was not a strong man, and
was in a run-down condition. Had tired, wornout feelings all the
time, and my debility was such as to make my daily duties very
laborious. The only relief I was from Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, and I am pleased to recommend it to others.” —
John Nichols, 404 Long Street. — (Advt.) .
MOTOR TOURISTS
BOOST SPALDING’S
BIG COUNTY FAIR
GRIFFIN, - Ga., Sept.- 25.—Fourteen
automobiles left Griffin Thursday in
a body onthe first of several booster
trips advertising Spalding county fair
which opens October 25 and lasts an
entire week. Among the towns to be
visited oh this trip are Senoia, Car
rollton and Newnan.
The party took dinner in Carroll
ton, returning in the afternoon to
Griffin. It is the purpose of the
fair officials, of which A. P. Patter
son, one of the leading citizens of
Griffin, is president and the moving
spirit, to take several 6f these trips,
in fact, enough to cover all the towns
of importance surrounding this thriv
ing metropolis of middle Geqrgia.
The fairs heretofore held in this
county . have been very successful
and the attendance very large. The
agricultural displays have been equal
to the best, while the displays of the
ladies in handwork and canning have
been equal to any in the state.
The racing features -have brought
to the fair some of the fastest horses
in the country and the races are one
of the best drawing numbers of the
varied attractions. The midways, in
the main, have been up to the aver
age and it is the purpose of the of
ficials not to sell space to any show
or attraction of questionable char
acter. . •
United States Has
German Property in
Sum of $400,000,000
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Approx
imately $400,000,000 worth of prop
erty seized from German «.nd Aus
trian owners when U. S. got into the
war still is under the trusteeship of
Alien Property Custodian Garvan, it
was estimated today.
k According to this estimate,
thing like $300,000,000 worth of prop
erty has been returned to its owners
under the amendment to the Trading-
Wit]j-The-Enamy act passed last fall
by congress. Exact details of the
transactions will not be available un
til Garvan makes his annual report
to congress.
Future disposition of the property
still held is one of the problems’ that
will confront the congress which set
tles the question of the peace treaty.
The property still held, which in
cludes hundreds of going concerns
manufacturing practically every
product from chemicals to steel, now
is piling up profits which further
complicate the problem of what dis
position to make. These profits now
are being invested in Liberty bonds
and government securities to the di
rection o| the treasury department.
Approximately 25,000 persons of
German and Austrian origin were in
terested iri the property seized by the
alien property custodian. A similar
number of Americans are, or were,
owners of property seized by Ger
many when the U. S. entered the
war. Provision for return of this
American property by Germany is
made in the peace treaty. Due to
the fact thatfthe U. S. has not rati
fied the treaty, no returns have
yet been made by the Germans.
When France, Great Britain and
Italy approved the treaty, their gov
ernments at once began arrange
ments to credit Germany with the
value of the property held.
South Carolina Cotton
Planters Plan to Hold
Staple for 40 Cents
GREENVILLE, S. C„ Sept 25.
Reports reaching Greenville from
every county in the state in re
sponse to the Daily Piedmont’s ques
tionnaire, Indicated that farmers at
meetings throughout South Carolina
have pledged themselves to the pol
icy of holding off the cotton mar
ket every bale of cotton possible
until the price reaches forty cents.
Off grades will be sold as the farm
ers may be disposed.
The sense of a number of con
ventions was that a dollar a hun
dred pounds was an equitable wage
for picking the present crop of cot
ton, which is a fifty per cent re
duction. The scale of ginning fees,
as approved by the farmers, ranged
from $4 to $7 a bale, also a reduc
tion. ,
Take a aose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a
day's work. Take a spoonful of Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness. headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money is wating for you.—(Advt.)
