Atlanta, Ga, August 4.-Opponents
of the Tippins near-beer bill which
provides that no beverage sold or
manufactured in Georgia shall con-
tain more than one-half of one per
cent Of alcohol this morning capt.
ulated to the extent of agreeing that
this bill shall be voted on Monday.
Mr.. Anderson Of Chatham, and 9th
ers who led the flibuste rto postpone
the bill said this morning that all
efforts to postpone it have now been
bandoned and that the first business
before the house on Monday after the
thirty minues for unanimous consent,
will be the vote on the bill. Then
the bill is as good as passed by the
house, he was asked. No, l don't
say that" he answered.
The efforts to suppress the bill have
been abandoned because of the deter
of prohibitionists of the house
to prevent the consideration of all 9th
er measures so long as this bill was
held in allegiance.

make our answer public. After care
full investigation we have found that
a simple wash of OIL of Wintergreen,
as compounded IN D. d. D., can be
relied upon. We would not make this
statement to our patrons, friends and
neighbors unless we were sure of it
and although there are many So
called Eczema remedies sold, we our
selves unhesitatingly recommend D.
d. D. Prescription.
Because-We know that 1t gives in
stant relief to that torturing itch.
Because-D. D. D, starts the cure at
the foundation OF tho trouble
Because-It cleanses, soothes and
heals the skin, clearing away pimples
and blotches over night.
Because-It enables Nature to re-
pair the ravages of disease.
Because-The records Of ten years
of complete cures of thousands of the
most serious cases show that D. d. D.
is today recognized as the absolutely
reliable Eczema Cure
Drop into our store today, just to
talk over the merits of this wonder

plain the value of D. D. D. as a house

NEW YORK.-New York bankers
who have been comforting here for
the last few days with representa-
tives of the governors conference
and the Southern Cotton Congress
have announced that they have rails
ed fund of $4,000, 900 to be placed
in the cotton belt states for the pur-
pose of handling the cotton crop of
1911 and enabling growers to par
ticipate in any rise in the market.
The negotiations were conducted
on behalf of the South by Governor
O'Neal of Alabama, Senator Bailey
of Texas, who has been advising his
colleagues as to the legal aspects of
the proposition, E. B. Watson, the
president of the Permanent Southern
Cotton Congress and commissioner
of agriculture of South Carolina, and
Clarence Ousley, editor of the Rec
ord of Fort Worth, Tax, represent
ing the governor of his state.
The bankers who will furnish the
fund, according to the statement, are
headed by Col. Robert NJ. Thompson
of the brokerage firm of S. H. P. Pell
& Co. of this city. The financial sup
port of several of the strongest banks
in New York has been given to the
plan, the statement continues.

FUND OF FIFTY MILLIONS
TO AID COTTON FARMERS

The plan proposes to advance the
grower $25 per bale on his cotton,
based on the market value at the
time of the .loan. No interest will
be paid upon the loan, the only
charge being 81 per bale, which is
regarded as a legitimate minimum
charge for expense of grading and
handling. The cotton is not held
nor taken from the channels of trade,
but is placed at the best advantage.
The grower is given the right to des-
ignate the day of sale prior to Jan
uary 1, 1918, and will participate in
any advance in price to the extent
Of three-fOurth of the rise of the
market.
Details of the plan are yet to be
worked out. 1t has been decided,
however, to place the fund through
state committees named by the gov
ernor or commissioner of agriculture
of state, and these committees shall
be empowered to sell when cotton
reaches IL cents and compelled to
sell when it reaches 10 cents, regard
less of advice from the growers Pro-
vision against any violation of the
Sherman antitrust law is contained,
the promoters believe, in a clause
empowering each committee to name
the day of sale in the event the
market climbs to IL or 10 cents.

GRASS BANKS FOR CANAL.
Several Thousand Pounds of Seed
Sent to Panama.

Several Thousand Pounds of Seed
Sent to Panama.
By the time the Panama canal is
opened the ships may sail through
terraced green lawns instead of the
bare yellow earth slopes now in evil
dence, says Peru Today. The reason
is not altogether an aesthetic one.
1t is believed that seeding the
sloping sides of the canal through
the cuts with a strong grass may
prevent the slides now so frequent,
and will reduce the wearing down
by the tropical rains. H. Pittier, an
expert botanist from the Smithsonian
Institute, has charge of an attempt
to test this theory, for which pur-
pose the agricultural department at
Washington has sent down several
thousand pounds of grass seed.
Even though it be impossible to
prevent entirely the occasional big
slides it seems almost certain that
this measure will result in a great
saving by holding the ground from
starting except under great pressure
and by reducing the erosion which
brings down a tremendous amount
of earth in the course of a year.

Big Crops Raised 'by Supt. Jennings
Interested Americas Man.
Prof. L. D. Lockhart, who was re-
Gently on an automobile trip into
Terrell, stopped at the county farm,
and on returning home told the
Times-Recorder of the big crops har-
vested this year by Superintendent
Jennings. In quoting PROF. Lockhart
that paper says:
Everything except cotton is raised
on that farm Cotton is too cheap,
and, besides, it is not food crop.
Food crops get all attention there.
Mr.. Jennings has gathered this year
5000 bushels of oats, worth 80 cents
per bushel; 2,400 bushels of corn,
worth quite as much, besides other
smaller crops. He has made 1920
gallons of fine syrup, worth rs cents
per gallon, and already has put up
400 bushels of sweet potatoes.
This enormous yield of potatoes
is from one acre, many of the big
tubers weighing from to pounds
each, The syrup, corn and potatoes
will be fed to the countys convicts,
thus cutting down the supply bills
materially"
