IS CALLED TO
DISCUSS HIGHWAY BONDS
Comfy Commissioners Ask
Citizens to Assemble April
29th. Obtaining Informal
ton to Submit Then.

The calling of bond election look
ing to the paving of the public roads
in Terrell county was temporarily
postponed by the county commission
ers at their regular monthly meeting
Tuesday. The officials took the view
that it would be wisest to defer &C
ton for at least thirty days, and in
the meantime to make a thorough in
vestigation Of the cost of construction
SO that the people of the county might
be definitely and fully informed on
the subject before being asked to
vote for the bonds.
Applied for Federal Aid.
At the March meeting of the COM
missioners application was made to
the State Highway Commission for
federal aid for the construction of
public roads in Terrell county on the
assumption that a bond election in
the amount of 100000 would be or
dered at the next meeting of the
county board, and that if the bond
election carried a like sum from the
government would be obtainable. Fol
lowing that action certain figures
were presented to the commission
ers which indicated the cost of build
ing such roads would be largely in
excess of what was contemplated,
and that the amount obtainable would
be sufficient to construct only about
fourth as many miles of paved
roads as was anticipated.
Securing information.
1t was accordingly determined that
a more thorough investigation be
made. The Dawson Chamber of Com
merce was asked to assist in this
work Of inquiry, and is already gath
ering data on the subject.
The commissioners expect to have
enough information in hand within
short time to enlighten the citizens
Of the county fully on the subject,
and have issued a call for a mass
meeting of all the voters of the cOun-
ty to be held in Dawson at II o'clock
April 29th. At that time, with
all the facts before them, the peo-
pie will be asked to express an opin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the
county's attempting to do the work
and of the calling of bond election
There IS considerable interest in
Terrell county in the good roads
movement, and a large crowd is ex-
pected at the mass meeting. Every
citizen is urged to be present and get
the benefit Of the facts that are be-
ing obtained for the meeting.

Preparations for presenting the
Victory liberty loan campaign

WOMEN ARE SURE

CEED IN PUTTING "VOTES FOR
WOMEN PROPAGANDA OVER.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Woman
suffrage leaders are "cock-sure" they
are going to succeed in putting their
votes for women" propaganda over
soon after the extra session of con-
gress is called, which will be con-
trolled by the republicans, and not
only this but they are already fig
uring on the total vote that women
will cast in the next presidential cleo
ton.
Today suffrage statisticians issued
the following statement, which indi-
Gates that their leaders are up with
the times:
In the next presidential election
twelve and a half million women,
representing twenty-six states, will
be entitled to cast their votes, while
the influential women in the party
conventions may well be the deter
mining factor in the choice of party
candidates.
The states in which women hold
political power will control forty per
cent. of the electoral college, forty
five per cent. of the house of repre-
sentatives, over one-half of the sem
ate and almost one-half of the party
conventions.
Power Doubled.
The power of the women in the
1920 presidential elections will be
more than twice as great as it was
in the elections of 1916, for since
that date eleven states, including
New York, have extended presiden-
tial suffrage to their women citizens.
Beginning in the northwest in 1869
woman suffrage has spread through
out the western half of the country,
leaving but one state, Missouri, with
out some form of woman suffrage
west of the Mississippi, and has pene-
trated the east until less than half
of the states east of the Mississippi
fail to give women some voting pow
er.

COTTON ACREAGE
REDUCED A THIRD
ALL SOUTHERN STATES CUT
DOWN PLANTING TO HOLD
SPOT PRODUCT.

COLUMBIA, S. C.-The certain
success of the campaign for the re-
duction of cotton acreage in the
South is forecasted in kilograms re-
ceived by the central committee of
the South Carolina Cotton Associa-
ton. Messages were received from
the commissioners of agriculture Of
Texas, Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana
and Georgia, and a statement was
made by the committee for South
Carolina.
A reduction in the acreage of each
state by at least one-third is indicat-
ed by the messages. The fertilizer re-
duction is very heavy. Farm work
in Louisiana is reported by the COM
missioner for that state to be at
least thirty days behind.
The telegram from Fred W. Davis,
commissioner for Texas, read: In
complete reports so far show Texas
in line for 33 IS per cent acreage re-
Guction."
Fertilizer Also Cut.
Harry D. Wilson, commissioner for
Louisiana, wired Our information
points to a reduction of from 25 to
35 per cent. About one-third less
fertilizer sold in cotton counties, on
account Of bad weather; farmers at
least thirty days behind. Many farm
ers have no land broken vet"
NJ. c. Allgood, commissioner of
agriculture for Alabama, wired:
"One-third acreage reduc t ON
throughout central and northern
Alabama; virtually no cotton grown
in southern Alabama on account of
boil weevils. Forty per cent. reduc-
ton in sales of fertilizers from last
year"
J. Owens, assistant commissioner
for the state of Virginia, wired:
Commissioner out of state; cotton
acreage will possibly be reduced by
one-third."
From Commissioner J. Thrown, of
Georgia, comes the message: ''You
can count on Georgia reducing one
third. Georgia is more thoroughly or
ganized and more determined to re-
duce the acreage and hold her spot
cotton than l have ever seen before"
The chairman of the central COM
mittee of the South Carolina Cotton
Association has issued this statement:
"The first county in South Carolina
to make a complete report is Cole
ton county. 1t reports a reduction of
43 per cent. ] believe every county
in the state will reduce at least one
third"

UNITED STATES RUM
STOCK RUNNING Low
ONLY FIFTY MILLION GALLONS
LIQUOR WILL BE LEFT JULY
1ST. DEMAND is BRISK.

National prohibition next July
will find only about 5O,OOO,OOO gal
Ions Of liquor in bonded warehouses,
barred from disposition for beverage
purposes, if the present demand for
whisky continues during the inter
vening months. Revenue bureau of
ficials estimate that at present bonded
warehouses connected with distiller-
les under lock and key of govern
ment agents contain less than Co.,
100000 of the 20O,0OO,OOO gallons in
stock when manufacture ceased on
Sept. IT, 1917, under the food con-
servation act. December, January
and February Withdrawals have aver
aged more than 100000 gallons a
month.
If the present buying movement
continues, revenue officials declare
that the amount of liquor on hand
in the United States on July 1 may
not reach s50,000,000 gallons. If
there is a decrease in purchase be-
cause of the heavy tax imposed the
amount on hand when prohibition be-
come effective may be between CO.,
100000 and 100000 gallons.
Great Quantities in Storage.
Estimates of the amount of liquor
in the United States do not take into
consideration the vast amounts
known to be stored in cellars and at
tics for future consumption. Nor do
they include any stocks which whole
sale or retail dealers may not sell be-
fore the prohibition wave catches
them. These are not measurable by
any official reports.
