Tobacco Sales
Here Today

Sales were finished up on the Ber-
nard floor Wednesday, it requir-
ing all the forenoon and until 2 p. m.
to complete the sale. The Banner
warehouse was the next to be reached
and sales on this floor were not COM
pleted last evening, it will possibly
take until noon Thursday to finish up
here. The Adams warehouse follows
the Banner with the next sale, then
back to Bernard's and the Star ware
house.
Farmers and visitors to the Fer
nard warehouse on Wednesday had
the pleasure of hearing a famous
Kentucky auctiOneer, one of the high
est salaried auctioneers in the coun-
try, it is stated. Mr.. Early Bass, Of
the Lexington, KY, market is on a
visit to this market. He took a run
over here between sales on his ware
house floor to get some idea what we
were doing, and he was greatly sur
prised to see just how the Greeneville
market had grown since his last visit
here. Mr.. Bass sold a part of the
break Wednesday on the Bernard
floor, relieving the regular auctioneer,
Mr.. c. G. Woods, and those who were
fortunate enough to hear him enjoy
ed a rare treat.
The average price Wednesday and
Tuesday afternoon was 38 cents
Burley is bringing better price to-
day, warehouse men tell us, than il
| did yesterday. The price, of course
each day is regulated by the grade OF
tobacco offered. Some days there are
better grades on the different floors
and as a result the average is natural
lily a little higher. Taking it as q
whole, however, prices on all grades
are far beyond the expectations Of th'
planter. They are more than vel
pleased. The hundreds from Virgins
coming here are being well pait
for selling their crop on the Greene
| willie market. Over $4,000 is being
paid out here every day now for to
bacco.

TEST FARMS SHOW
INVESTIGATION PAYS
REMARKABLE FIGURES ON RE.
SUITS OF OPERATIONS FOR
1918 MADE PUBLIC.

Some highly interesting figures on
the value of diversifcation of crops
in Georgia have just been made pub
lie by the Central of Georgia railroad
through its agricultural department,
which operated last year seventeen
such farms, with a total area of 582 y
acres, which yielded a crop return
valued at $40,377.04. 1t cost SILL
$3.50 to make the crop and the total
net return is figured at $28,73715,
which is more than twice what it cost
to put in the crop.
Record Values.
Incidentals to the operation and
rental at $3.50 an acre or $2,633.75,
which if taken out of the total net
profit leaves S26,113.40. The aver
age profit per acre is thus placed at
$44.84, which is the highest profit
ever shown from test farm work by
the road.
A statement is made about the cot
ton yield, because it was large fac
tor in the profit made on these farms.
One hundred and ninety-one and a
half of the 58212 acres were in cot
ton. The yield was 308 pounds to the
acre, selling at an average of 1871
cents a pound. Without counting the
seed the average net profit was
S58.94 per acre.
The average yield per acre in
Georgia in 1918 was $50 pounds to
the acre.

DAWSON HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY
DESIGNATED BY GEN. THOMAS
Commander of United Confederate
Veterans Says Reunion Probably
Be Held in Month of Nav.

While it had previously been an
nounced by The News and was gen.
orally known that the United Con-
federate Veterans of Georgia would
hold their state reunion in Dawson
this year, it was not until after the
last issue of The News that the an
nouncement was officially made by
General Jas. A. Thomas, of Macon,
commander of the veterans. No date
has yet been fixed, but the reunion
will probably be held in May. The
1918 reunion, which was to have been
held in Atlanta, was called off because
of the Spanish influenza epidemic.
General Thomas has also made
some appointments, the news of
which will be of interest to veterans
throughout the state.
To fill the position of commander
of the Western division made vacant
by the death of Gen. Mobley, of
Vienna, B. N. Barrow, of Griffin, has
been appointed brigadier general of
that division.
To fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Gen. Martin, of Atlanta,
Judge George Hillyed has been APP
pointed brigadier general of the

LIQUOR men PLAN
TO MAKE COURT FIGHT
QUESTION THE CONSTITUTION
Atty OF PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT

Liquor interests of the United
States are preparing to test in the
courts the constitutionality of the
national prohibition amendment to the
Federal constitution. They have re-
tanned some of the ablest legal talent
of the nation, including several mem
bers of the American. Constitutional
league. These men argue that the
three-fourths clause on amendments
to the constitution never was intend
ed to apply to state control of inherent
individual rights. From this premise
they advance to the conclusion that
the whole proceeding is unconstitu-
tional. The lawyers plan to have the
case of the liquor interests presented
before the United States Supreme
court in time to get decision before
the expiration of the required year
after the thirty-sixth state ratified.
Levy Mayer, of Chicago, will direct
the legal programme for the liquor
interests. He has refused to discuss
their plans, but has stated that large
number Of lawyers have volunteered
to help in the figth because they feel
that, if the amendment on prohibition
is added to the constitution, there will
be no safeguarding of personal prop
erty possible.
Cite Grounds for Test
Legal representative of the liquor
interests of the country take the posi-
ton that every amendment in the past
has been applied to correct some ma
tional or Federal political evil over
which no individual state, nor the peo-
pie of any particular state, could
claim proper jurisdiction. Such amend
ments, these legal lights argue, under
the spirit of the constitution. were per-
fectly in accord with the intention of
the formers.
But the writers of the constitution
had no purpose of giving three-fourths
of the states domination of the per-
sonal habits of the other one-fourth of
the states, according to the reasoning
of these attorneys. They assert that
the constitution by no stretch of the
imagination can be made to regulate
personal habits. such as eating, drink
ing, religious thought or the choice of
clothing, and they insist the prohibi-
ton amendment is in this class of
legislation.

get Sin the grass" should it turn off
wet.
The Amount to Use.
In some tests in which different
amounts of fertilizer were used with
out nitrate the average results for
the years 1915, 1916 and 1917 were
2O.2 bushels for no fertilizer. 2O.8
for 200 pounds, PAT for 400 pounds,
25.2 for 500 pounds, 23.6 for 800
pounds, 24.8 for 1000 pounds and
26.1 bushels for 1900 pounds of fer
tilizer per acre. This shows incon-
sistent gains for the use of the fer
tilizer as well as an uneconomical
use of much that was applied. The
application of 400 pounds gave an
increase of one bushel for each one
hundred pounds of fertilizer-no
other amount either above or below
have like benefit. In this connec-
ton we wish to call attention to the
fact that given good soil in fair
filth, water is the limiting factor in
corn production rather than the kind
or amount of fertilizer or the place
of applying it. If moisture is want
ing at the critical period later rains
will not make up for the lack; the
most critical time is just following
the ripening of the pollen and if the
tassels and pollen dry out before the
corn is pollinated poor yield will
necessarily follow. All corn and cot.
ton stalks and whatever vegetable
matter the farmer has at hand should
be returned to the soil, as such ma
terial, aside from what plant food
it may contain, is of untold value
in increasing the moisture capacity
of the soil and helping corn or other
crops to tide over such critical pc

FORTY-FOUR YEARS OF EFFORT
FAILS TO WIN FOR SUFFRAGE
Rejection by Senate Setback Amendment Drafted Susan
B. Anthony in -Militancy Marks Recent Agitation

At the time of the American revo-
luton women demanded to be includ-
ed In the government. Abigail Adams
wrote to her husband, John Adams,
II women are not represented in
TINS new republic there will be an
other revolution"
From the revolution to 1848 wo-
men agitated for suffrage by meetings
and circulation of petitions. In 1913
the Woman's Rights convention at
Seneca Falls, N. Y, was arranged
by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton as the first big suffrage dem
onstration in this country.
Miss Anthony Becomes Leader.
From 1848 to the civil war efforts
was first introduced in congress in
January, 1878, by Senator Sergeant,
OF California, the suffrage movement
continued to gain strength. More than
thirty times the measure has been
brought before the senate and it has
been reported a dozen tins.
First Voted Upon in 1887.
The amendment was first voted up
on in the senate in 1887, when six
teen senator's voted in its favor and
thirty-four rejected it. The next vote
taken in the senate was in 1914, when
the vote was thirty-fve yeas and
thirty-four nays, failing by eleven
votes. On October 1, 1918, the SEN
ate again voted on the resolution,
casting ffty-three votes for and
thirty-one against, less than two
thirds majority
The house in 1915 defeated the
amendment, the vote being 2O4 to
TIA. On January 10, 1918, the house
passed the amendment 274 to 13G
with not a single vote to spare above
the required two-thirds of the con-
stitution.
Voted in Colonial Times.
While the woman suffrage move
ment took definite form with the
drafting of the amendment in 1876
the demand of women for votes in
the New World extends back to the
colonial period, when they voted un.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest we'll, work
well, sleep we'll, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with q teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little but is
sufficient to make anyoneS pro-
nounced crank on the subject OF
internal sanitation.

feat of house resolution in the SEN
ate last week, was crystalized forty
four years ago when the first draft
of the amendment in its present form
was made by Susan B. Anthony.
Since the amendment, providing
that "the rights of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged by the United States
or by any state on account of SEX"
were made to have state laws altered
to include women. Susan B. Anthony
became a leader in the movement for
political freedom.
During the civil war, in spite of
Miss Anthony's efforts and protests,
suffragists were prevailed upon to
give up their work by the promise
of men in congress that when the
war was over Justice would be done
them" At the close of the civil war
Miss Anthony founded a woman's
magazine called The Revolution, in
contrast with the Ladies Books" and
"Rosebuds' of the day.
