WOULD FOIL WEEVIL
BY BUG-PROOF COTTON
MIR. HARDING is SAID TO HAVE
DEVELOPED A STAPLE WITH
ODOR OF ASSAFOETIDA.
ALL INSECTS SAID TO AVOID 1T

Years Ago.

Birmingham we think he is a second
Luther Burbank. He has propagated
cotton plant which smells so strong
of assafoetida that all insects avoid
it as though it were plague"
Used Nux VOmica.
About four years ago. according
to this planter, Mr.. Harding conceiv'
ed the idea of making the cotton
hollis unpalatable to the weevil. In a
small section of his back yard in
Birmingham he set out few cotton
plants. From the earliest stages he
constantly amounted them with nux
vomica. When the buds appeared he
sprinkled them with the drug, so
with the blossom, and finally the
bolls of cotton. At the end of the
season he carefully preserved the
seed from these plants and planted
them the next spring. That season
he repeated the work of the summer
before. When the seed of the Sec
ond crop sprouted the tiny plants
had a decided odor of assafoetida,
without any sprinkling whatever, al
though apparently this smell was the
only change which had been pro-
duced.
No Test First Year.
Then, said the planter, came the
big disappointment. While it was
noticed that all other insects avoid d
the plants there were no boil wee
wills that far north that season, so
no test could be made.
About that time Mr.. Harding was
appointed to the reserve board and
gave up his experiments. But before
leaving he turned over his work and
precious seed which produced the
smelly plants to the Alabama depart
ment of agriculture, which is now
working on the idea.

100000, 900 INCREASE

Manufacturers Predict That Increase
During the Year 1916 VIII BE
Larger Than Last.

NEW YORK.-Shoe styles and new
methods of manufacture adopted to
the rapid expansion of the shoe trade
are the chief topics under discussion
in the convention of the National
Shoe Retailers Association here. The
convention opened yesterday. Manu-
facturers and dealers say that there
was an increase of 500, 100000 in
the shoe business last year, and they
predict that the increase will be much
greater this year. This is attributed
to the development of shoe fashions

NERVE GRATING

American Hospital i'm France.
Loss of nerve is one of the greatest
costs of war. High explosives and
the terrific mental and physical strain

is the method the surgeons have de-

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS
Vote ON DELEGATES
STATE PRIMARY WILL PROBA.
BLY, BE CALLED FOR SOME
TIME IN APRIL.
COMMITTEE TO NAMfITHE DATE

Delegates to National Democratic
Convention and National Commit
teeman Will Be Elected BY Ballot
For First Time in Georgia.
ATLANTA.-For the first time in
the history of the state Georgia demo-
Gratis will this year elect the dee
gates and alternates to the national
democratic convention and will elect
also the democratic national commit
teeman from this state.
1t will be the second time, more
over, when the democrats of the state
have participated in the new nation
wide presidential, primaries that were
inaugurated in the last presidential
election of 1912.
Pursuant to directions written into
the democratic platform by the ma
tional democratic convention held in
Baltimore in 1912 the state demo-
cratic executive committee of Geor-
gia will place on the names of the
ballot used in the forthcoming presi-
Dental primary provision for votes
to be cast for delegates to the ma
tional convention, for alternates, and
for the national committeeman from
this state.
At a conference held yesterday N
this city between Judge J. J. Ragan
of McDonough, chairman of the state
committee, st. Elmo Massengale, Of
Atlanta, secretary of the committee,
and Clark Howell, of Atlanta nation
al committeeman, it was determined
that the state committee shall meet
in Atlanta on February 10 to make
arrangements for the holding OF the
primary.
AS the national convention meets
in St. Louis in June it is very prob
able that the state committee will fix
the date for holding the Georgia pri-
mary early in April.
The sections of the democratic plat
form requiring popular election of
convention delegates, alternates and
the national committeeman reads as
follows:
1--WE direct that the national COM
mittee incorporate in the call for the
next nominating convention a re-
quirement that expressions of pref
erence for presidential candidates
shall be given, and the selection of
delegates and alternates made
through a primary election conduct
ed by the party organization in each
state where such expressions and
election are not provided for by the
state law.
Committeeman who are hereafter
to constitute the membership OF the
democratic national committee, and
whose election is not provided for by
law, shall be chosen in each state
at such primary election and the ser
vice and authority of the committee
men, however chosen, shall begin i'm
mediately upon receipt of their ere
dentials, respectively"

AUTO WAR BETWEEN
FORD AND DURANT
One Opposes All Forms of War and
the DUPONT Powder Co. Said to
Be Backing the Other.

DETROIT, Mich.-Henry Ford and
Walter Durant are the principals in
a struggle in which millions of dol
lars will be expended in competition,
according to men close to both mag
mates.
The two men hold exactly opposite
views on International affairs. Ford
opposes war and all plans for war,
while the DUPONT Powder Company
interests are said to be behind Durant
in a wide reaching plan to monopolize
the trade in munitions supplies.
To Compete With Ford.
1t is asserted that Durant is about
to place upon the market a car that
will compete with the Ford. 1t is to
be produced by the General Motors
organization, and rumor now says
James Couzens who recently left the
Ford organization, will be employed
as the chief director of this new or
ganization, although Couzens' friends
deny this.
The wizards of Wall street are US
ing Walter C. Durant to break down
the plans and preparations of Henry
Ford against war preparedness.
Ford, it is said, is now maintaining
a paid lobby of newspaper men at
Washington to fight President Will
sons preparedness program, and 1t
is alleged that these agents are meet
ing opposition at every point from
Durant's paid agents. Friends of both
men said the lines of the first Skin
mish are just being formed. but when
the battle is on in earnest its limits
will reach the national capital and
will become international in scope.

TRAVELS 5000
MILES IN A BASKET
Mining Engineer, With Broken BACK
Arrives at ROselawn, Indiana,
From South Africa.

ROSEFAWN, Ind.-A journey Of
5000 miles in a basket bed ended
here today when C. C. Smith, min
ing engineer of Natal, South Africa,
arrived at the home of his parents.
He suffered a broken back in a mine

rican workings. A huge rock FELL
killing his companion. At Smiths
request the company started him
home, appropriating $25, 900 for the
surgical and other expenses of the
trip. The journey was broken at
Cardiff so that the injured man
might receive special medical atten-
ton. and it was there that he met
Miss Palmer.
Because of the size of the basket
in which Smith travelled it was nee
essary to take out the windows OF q
railroad coach to get him aboard thu
train.

WOLF OF WALL STREET"
FACES FEDERAL PRISON
CHARGED WITH IMPERSONATING
CONGRESSMAN AND IS NOW
FACING TERM IN JAIL.

NEW When the solicitor
general of the United States makes a
motion in the United States supreme
court today 70 dismiss the appeal of
David Lamar, the famous wolf of
Wall Street." who was convicted and
sentenced to two years in the federal
prison at Atlanta for impersonating a
federal officer, it is expected that the
attorneys for Lamar will begin an
other fight to save their client from
Drison. Lamar has had his freedom
for a full year following his cOnvic-
ton in the federal district court in
this city. He was recently indicted
in connection with the munition
strike plot charged to the officers of
'Labor's Peace Council" and his role
in that alleged conspiracy to foment
trouble in American manufacturing
plants is said to have been the hand
ling of much of the coin of Franz Won
Rintelen. 1t was charged in connec-
ton with Lamar's latest venture that
over 100000 stuck to his fingers.
The crime of which Lamar was con-
victed in December, 1914, was unique
in government cases. The govern
ment charged that Lamar and Ed
ward Lauterbach, a lawyer, entered
into a conspiracy to obtain money
from the United States Steel CorpOr-
alton and the firm of ]. P. Morgan
& Co. by representing themselves as
the agents of Speaker Clark and 9TH
err men high in congress. To further
this conspiracy himself it is charged
that Lamar telephOned to Lewis Cass
Ledyard and others, representing
himself to be Congressman A. Mitch
ell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, and
sought to have Ledyard secure en-
ployment for Lauterbach with the
Morgan firm or the steel corporation.
These telephone conversations con-
tinued over several days before Led
ward teIephoned to the real Congress
man Palmer and found that he had
been talking heretofore with an i'm
poster. Three indictments were found
by the federal grand jury, Lamar's
conviction was upon the first indict-
ment, and the jury was out only 40
minutes. Lamar was released under
$4,000 bail in addition to the $40
900 on the untried indictments.
The circuit court of appeals ruled
against the claim of Lamar that
member of congress is not a federal
officer. Because of this decision the
department of justice has announced
that it will act today.

VALUE OF IMPORTED JEWELS
REACHES ENORMOUS SUM
United States Is Becoming Worlds
Chief Market.

NEW YORK.-Imports of dia-

this port during the year are estimat-
ed by VIM. B. Treadwell, the govern
ments diamond expert, at $25, 00O,-
600, a gain over last year of about
100000. The increase in the con-
sumption of gems by the United
States is regarded by dealers as show
ing that the United States is rapidly
becoming the chief of the worlds
markets for jewels.
Diamonds as usual, predominated
in the years imports, but greater
number of pearls were brought in
than a year ago, particularly medium
grade gems.

NO MORE LIQUOR ADS
IN THE NEWSPAPERS
ALABAMA AND GEORGIA BAR
THEM, AND OTHER STATES
WILL FOLLOW EXAMPLE.
AS DRASTIC AS GAN BE MADE
No Paper Printed in or Outside the
State Containing Such Advertise
ment Can Be Circulated i'm State.
Bills Drawn BY Alabama Man.

Bills Drawn by Alabama MAN.
The prohibitionists of the South
are planning not only for a dry
south program, which shall include
the entire southeast, but are also ad-
vocating laws in each of the South
ern states which shall make it i'm
possible for any newspaper or other
publication to print liquor or beer
advertisements or for any publication
outside these states to be sold in the
southern territory if it should contain
liquor advertisements.
Alabama has had such law for a
year or more. Georgia has such a
law which becomes effective May LIST
next. South Carolina is next in or
der.
While the forces behind this move
ment are not designated by any par
ticular style or organization the bills
being introduced by separate organi-
cations in each state, there is, never
theless, we'll defined set of individ-
uals behind each of these bills. This
is indicated by the fact that both the
Alabama and Georgia laws were
drawn by ex-Justice Samuel Weakly
of Alabama, and that the South Caro-
lima bill will be drawn by the same
author.
Same as South CaOlina.
The two laws already enacted are
as drastic as they can be made with
out presuming to interfere with the
United States mails, and the South
Carolina law will be of the same cal
iber if not an exact replica of the
Georgia and Alabama laws.
These laws not only forbid any
newspaper or other publication in
either state from publishing any ad-
vertisement of liquor or beer, but
prohibit any publication from any
other part of the country from being
sold or offered for sale within Geor-
gia or Alabama if such publications
contain liquor or beer advertise
ments. This means that such publ
cations cannot be offered for sale at
newsstands or by newsbOys on the
street, but that they may be received
in homes or at places of business
through the mails by regular sub
scribers.
In order to be sold on the streets
or at newsstands it is necessary for
all such publications to publish spe-
ciaI Georgia or Alabama editions con-
tanning no advertisements of intoxi-
cants, or cut out or paste over such
advertisements Almost invariably
except with newspapers in neighbor-
ing states which get out special edi-
tions to meet these conditions the
most practical means has been to
paste over liquor advertisements. In
Alabama, where the law has been for
some time effective, newsdealens have
had to employ special staffs to paste
over the liquor advertisements in all
their publications before they could
offer the papers for sale.
