tricts, one commissioner to visit every
county just as soon as possible and
make return visits as often as neees-
sary for the closest possible co-opera.

WHY NATIONAL SHOW
WAS DROPPED THIS YEAR

At general meeting of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce in New York yesterday, pre-
sided over by Hugh Chalmers, vice
president. the reasons for the aban-
donment of the national shows this
winter and the events leading up to
the promotion of local shows at New
York and Chicago were explained in
detail. The manufacturers decided
by unanimous vote to resume the
promotion of national passenger car
shows. and, subject to the decision
of a meeting of truck makers later
in the day, of national truck shows
also. At the afternoon meeting the
question of truck shows was debated
at great length. and the truck mem
bers voted unanimously in favor of
them, provided they can be held at
the. same time as the passenger car
shows.
At each meeting the question of
closer cooperation by and with the
dealers association was discussed.
The directors will probably act upon
this suggestion at their April meet
ing.
Trade reports indicated that the
makers are fast coming back into
production. carload shipments for
February being approximately 10000
substantial increase over the 12.03G
carloads shipped in February last
year.
Feeling that a false impression is
being created around the country
as to the extent of the ''bolshevistic'
movement. it was resolved THAT,
owing to a false impression being
formed by the public as to the ex-
tent of the bolshevistic movement in
this country. through the prominence
given such news in newspapers and
magazines generally. and through
the tendency of some writers and
editors to fasten the terms of boil
shevism' and 'bolshevistic' to or
binary labor, the best interests
of general business and the entire
nation demand that such articles
should be removed from first page
prominence where their real news
value precludes excluding them en-
tirely from columns of public print"

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DIR. L. W. BOWERS.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
it is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. II there is a sudden
onset of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously of hot lemonade. Ifpain develops
in head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears in
most treacherous way, when the infu-
cc=a victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his bed. In recovering
from bad attack of influenza or pneu-
Inonia the system should be built up
with good herbal tonic, such as DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
without alcohol from the roots and banks
Of American forest trees, or his Irontic
(iron tonic) tablets, which can be OBJ
tanned at most drug stores, or send 1Oc.

DISTRICT SCHOOL
MEET CALLED OFF
COMMITTEE DECIDES THAT UN-
DER EXISTING CONDITIONS
SHOULD NOT BE HELD.

The Third district high school as
sociation will not hold the annual
meet this year This decision was
reached by the executive committee
after having received a number of
requests from schools throughout the
district.
This was deemed wise on account
of the fact that the schools have lost
so much time on account of the in
fuenza epidemic. All the available
time is needed for regular school
work.
The meet was to have been held
in Fitzgerald in April. No doubt it
will be held there in April 1920.
The executive committee, which
was unanimous in the decision, is as
follows: j. C. Dukes, president; Supt
NJ c. Austin, Marshallville, vice pres
ident; Supt. Jno. w. Barnhill, Fitz-
gerald, secretary and treasurer; Supt
A. G. Cleveland, Ashburn; Supt J
w Richardson, Vienna
1t will be recalled that the associa
ton met in Dawson last April Both
teachers and pupils regret that con.
ditions are such that they cannot
again have the pleasure of taking
part in the different events.
This announcement, of course
means that the debates will not be
held this year.

or conference was embodied in four
distinct measures, as follows:
l. To reduce the acreage and yield
of cotton during 1919 by at least 25
per cent.
2. To continue with unrelaxed de-
termination the holding of cotton
now in the hands of farmers, mer-
chants, bankers, ETC., until the mark
ct is ready to pay a price covering
cost of production plus a reasonable
profit, this price ranging from 80 to
80 cents a pound.
3. Lifting of the blockade on Ger
man and Austrian ports to permit the
free flow of cotton into those coun-
tries, and the increase as early as
possible of American shipping facili-
ties to transport cotton to the foreign
markets
4. Enactment by congress of leg
islation that will prohibit speculative
short selling of cotton, and of legisla-
ton that will compel the delivery Of

WILL HOLD COTTON
AND CUT ACREAGE
FARMERS, BANKERS AND BUSI-
MESS MEN URGE WILSON TO
LIFT EMBARGO ON STAPLE.

War to the death between the cot
ton producers and the cotton specu-
lators was launched in Macon on
Thursday at a great mass meeting
Of Georgia farmers, merchants, bank
ers, editors, legislators and other in
fiuential citizens, called for the pur-
pose of organizing the whole pro-
ducing industry, with all its affiia-
lions and ramifcations, in a move
ment that aims to embrace the entire
south, and that has for its object the
establishment and maintenance of the
absolute control of the cotton mark
ct by the men who supply the market
with cotton.
The meetin~ was remarkable both
IN the large and representative at
tendance of prominent men from all
parts of the state, as well as in the
spirit of aroused determination that
characterized the proceedings.
1t was a striking demonstration of
Two facts.
First, that the farmers are in a
better position than ever before to
hold their cotton, to produce larger
proportion Of other crops and to fl
nance their operations out Of their
own capital.
Second, that the fighting blood of
the farmers is aroused today to a
higher pitch than ever before, and
they are prepared to resort to more
extreme measures, and to go to great
er lengths than ever before to protect
themselves against those interests
which they regard as fundamentally
inimical and predatory.
Urges $500, 900 for Cotton.
Stirring speeches were made by a
number of prominent men. State
Senator H. H. Elders got hot under
the collar when he told of the recent
appropriations by the government of
hundreds of millions of dollars to
feed Europe and buy the 1919 wheat
crop at 1926 a bushel and the APP
preparation of $500,00O,O0O revolv-
ing fund for the railroads. why, it's
a dead loss to the government, and
we southern men have to pay our
part of these enormous expendi-
lures.
What is the government doing for
the Southern farmer? Nothing. But
it easily could appropriate $3OO,O0O,-
600 to buy cotton with and not lose
