UNCLE SAM IS SEATED.
ASTRIDE WATER WAGON
THIRTY-SIXTH STATE.
In One Year America Will
Be Wholly Dry
Heney Charges Packers Have Packed
Food Administration Offices With
Their Paid Agents. Influenza Rec
ords in State are Incomplete.

We present some of the domestic
news of the day boiled down as fol-
lows:
Francis J. Heney, who was chief
counsel for the Federal Trade Com
mission in the investigation of the
meat packing trust, charges Mr.
Hoover with interference with the in
vestigation. He says Mr.. Hoover had
the food administration filled up with
"dollar year men" who were still
in the pay of the packing trust.
Heney was a witness before the
senate committee and gave names of
some of the agents of the meat trust
involved.
The Attorney General of Louisiana
is attacking the new phone rates
named by the Postmaster General
In many instances they are said to
be decided increases over the old
rates.
The United States will be on the
water wagon before this is read, only
one state being needed on Thursday
morning to put her over" and half
a dozen state legislatures are racing
for the honor of being the seth state
to adopt the constitutional amend
ment against whiskey. The amend
ment becomes effective one year from
date of adoption by the seth state.
Despite the best efforts of ship
builders holding navy contracts, none
was able to meet building speed esti-
mates during the last year, Rear Ad-
miral Taylor, chief of the bureau of
construction, told the senate naval
committee today at its investigation
of contracts for Eagle submarine
chasers.
The federal judge retirement bill
so much discussed a few years ago is
up again and has passed the house,
now going to the senate for action.
The total number of cases of Span
ish influenza reported to the state
board of health during 1918 was
30,768, according to a statement
made by DIR. T. F. Abercrombie, sec
rotary of the board. The report that
there were 30,768 deaths from flu
in the state last year was vigorously
denied
1t is known positively, however,
that a great many cases of flu were
never reported at all, so that the ac-
tual number will never be known.

REPORTERS IN FRANCE
DISSATISFIED WITH THE
DEAL HANDED TO Them
They Want News First Hand
From Peace Table
Object to George, Creei or Other
Agencies Saying What They Shall
Write Home. Number of Repre-
sentatives for Each Country.

The foreign news of the1day boiled
down may be stated as follows:
Some hundred correspondents who
went to France to report the peace
conference for the American news
papers have been shut out of much
of the preliminary news which was
printed by the French and British
papers.
They say they have been pledged
to send back home only that news
officially released to them by the Off
cial bureau, and as George Creel, the
presidents official news distributor,
will be in charge, they feel worse
than useless over there.
They have joined in a protest to
the president, calling attention to one
of his fourteen peace points" which
calls for "open covenants of peace
openly arrived at"
Protests are being made by Bel
GUM and Serbia against the allow
ance of three peace delegates to
Brazil, while they are only allowed
two each. The representation at the
peace table follows:
1t was decided that the United
States, the British empire, France,
Italy and Japan should be represented
by five delegates apiece. The British
dominions and India, besides, shall
be represented as follows: Two dele
gates, respectively, for Australia,
Canada, South Africa and India, in
Guiding the native states, and one del
egate for New Zealand.
Brazil will have three delegates.
Belgium, China, Greece, Poland, Por-
tugal, the Czecho-Slovak republic, Ru-
mania and Serbia will have two dele
gates apiece; Siam one delegate and
Cuba, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras,
Liberia, Nicaragua and Panama one
delegate apiece.
Montenegro will have one dele
gate shall not be fixed until the mo-
ment when the political situation in
this country shall have been cleared
up.
''The meeting adopted the follow
ing two general principles One
Each delegation being unit, the
number of delegates forming it shall
have no influence upon its status at
the conference. Two-In the selec-
ton of it's delegation each nation
may avail itself of the panel system.
This will enable each state at discre-
ton to entrust its interests to such
persons as it may designate.
"The adoption of the panel system
will in particular enable the British
empire to admit among it's fixed rep
resentatives of the dominions, includ-
ing New Foundland, which has no
eparate representation, and of India. "
The reports of growing unrest and
disorder throughout Europe are of a
most disturbing character, but the
presence of the allied armies will
probably serve to prevent any large
operations of revolutionists in any
of the nearby countries.

THE FIFTH LIBERTY
LOAN A NECESSITY

Atlanta, Jan. 16.-The necessity
for another Liberty Loan is being en-
phasized by Mr.. l.. B Franklin, of
Washington, Director of War Loan
Organization, in conferences with
Liberty Loan officials in Federal Re-
serve Districts throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Franklin is now in the
South, having visited Atlanta and
New Orleans. He expects to hold
conferences in every district within
the next few days.
1t is explained by Mr.. Franklin
that the Government must meet the
enormous outstanding obligations for
war contracts. Production of ships,
munitions of war, and material of all
kinds had reached the disired stage
when the armistice was signed. The
expenses incurred must be met al
though fighting has ceased. Reve-
nues from taxes and other sources
will not be sufficient to cover the in
debtedness, Their fore the Treasury
Department will ask for another loan,
said Mr.. Franklin.
The banks of the country cannot
be expected to underwrite this bond
issue. With the restoration of peace
and return of normal trade con-
ditions, banks will need all available
money from commercial purposes.
To burden them with the obligation
of absorbing an issue of several bill
lion dollars would stifle business and
interfere with trade. The fifth loan
must be foated out of the earnings
and savings of the people.
The amount of the issue and in
terest the bonds will lbear will be de-
termined by the Treasury Depart
ment early in the spring. The date
of the loan has not been decided
upon, but it is believed that the
Treasury Department will select some
date nApril for the beginning. In
the meantime, plans are being made
to float an issue as large as the Fourth
Liberty Loan,-Six Billion Dollars.

J PLANTERS ARE ADVISED
TO REDUCE ACREAGE OF
COTTON FOR YEAR 1919
II ct First Attention be Given
to Food Stufs
Every Farmer to Use His Own Judge
ment AS To How Much He Should
Cut Acreage, But Wise Ones Will
Make Cotton His Surplus Crop.

Cotton growers were strongly urg-
ed in resolutions adopted at the con-
Guiding session, January IA, of the
cotton states official advisory market
ing board to curtail the 1919 cotton
acreage to an extent which would
make possible the growing of sutticI-
ent food and foodstuffs to make the
south selfsustaining along those lines
1t was explained in the resolution
that food crops should come first,
then products for animal consump-
ton an lastly cotton. The percent
age of curtailment was left to the
discretion of the grower.
Another resolution urged contln-
ued holding of cotton by growers I'M
til the embargo situation was cleared
ND and ample steamship facilities
provided for expectation of the staple
There will be ample demand for cot
ton it was asserted, provided it can
be gotten out of the country.
The state warehouse plan, as IN
operation in Texas and Arkansas, was
indorsed and legislation making the
system universal in the cotton belt
was urged.
The Gore bill asking for the speedy
return of soldiers now in Europe was
indorsed. According to the resolu-
ton favoring the Gore bill there now
is urgent need of farm help and the
food supply next year will be great
ly increased by the early return OF
men called to the colors from agrl-
cultural pursuits.
The semi-annual meeting of the
board will be held here next July.
The board is composed of presl-
dents of farmers unions, agricultur-
al commissioners and marketing oil
rectors fro mthe various cotton grow
ing states.

SOUTHERN EXPRESS co.
is SUING FOR TAXES

The Southern Express company, on
Jsn1ary Is, brought suit in every
county in South Carolina to recover
more than $4,000 in taxes paid for
operation in the state during the last
twelve months. The suit is based on
the alleged impossibility of the COM
uany to comply with contractual obi
cations after the railroads were taken
over by the United States government
on December %, 1917. Papers are
being filed with every county treas
urer in the state for the recovery OF
taxes paid in that particular county.
