Richmond Shippers
Interested In N e w
transportation Line

A special to the Manufacturers Rec
ord from Norfolk says that the Inia.i
Navigation Co. whose Office and
wharf lis at First and Fronts streets,
Norfolk. Va, proposes to build fleet
Of light-draft boats for operation be-
tween Eastern North Carolina towns
and Norfolk, with connections In Nor
folk by water TO Baltimore.
The type of boat to be used is en-
tirely new and novel. the purpose Of
the Inland Navigation Co. being to
construct them in accordance with a
boat invented by Fred D. Deey, of
Norfolk, who is affiliated with the
company. This new boat is especially
designed for operating on shallow
waters at good speed through a sim
pie mechanism which permits the
raising or lowering of the paddle
wheels whenever desired SO that the
buckets will have the same dip in the
water whether the boat Is loaded or
light.
Shippers in Richmond are In
terested in this project as possibly Of
fering a cheaper method OF transport
ing goods to deep water and Carolina
coast points

Although the June figures for wool
consumption broke all records for
1919, the July figures exceed them

monthly wool consumption report is
sued by the department Of agriculture.
The total amount of wool used durin Z
July--G3. 900. 600 pounds, grease equiv

amount used In February of this year.
However, this Is 100000 pounds
short of the consumption of June.

July consumption represents an In
crease of s per cent over Tho amount
used in June and o per cent over the
amount used in May. Monthly con-
sumption of wool has increased stead

manufacturers have completely read

THE STEEL. MULE is
COMING TO HIS OWN

While mule flesh has been going
up, mule iron and steel has been
coming down, and at the same time
the steel mule has been proving its
superiority in so many ways over the
mule of flesh.
Out of our window, one day last
week, we saw a string of seven new
Fordson Tractors vending it's way
into Buffers Garage, and inquiry
brought out the fact that these were
just part of the number placed re-
Gently by the agents here.
At the prices now offered few large
farmers can afford to do without a
tractor, and no one doubts that the
Fordson will meet all the require
ments of general farm work as we'll
as doing all the breaking and deep
ploughing.

GEO. E. BENSON, JR.,
HOME ON A VISIT

Cobb's youngest soldier is back
from the war. George E. Benson, Jr.,
who enlisted before he was fifteen
years old, and who landed in France
on his fifteenth birthday is back at
Camp Gordon and has been at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
G. E. Benson, on Waddell street, on
a visit.
Despite his years experience over
there and the rough army training,
George still looks almost as boyish
as he did when he left home. AT
the same time, however, he is suffi-
GENTLY grown in appearance to have
passed the doctors and enlisting Off
GERS as a grown man.
George is uncertain about the
time of his discharge as there seems
to have been some misunderstanding
about the term of his enlistment.
He enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the youngest veteran from Cobb,
and probably there are few younger
in the whole country. He has just
celebrated his sixteenth birthday on
August first this year, having seen
nearly a year and half of service.

PROHIBITION BOOSTS
THE MOVIE CROWDS

New York, Aug. 11.-Owners of
moving picture houses are reaping
a harvest as a result of national pro-
hibition, according to figures received
by leading exchange managers of the
large producing firms here today.
The figures show that father has
chosen to go to the movies instead
of the corner saloon and furtherance
is taken as proof that father likes it.
Movie men here declare that the eff
feet of prohibition has been much
more apparent in thickly populated
factory towns than in rural commu-
mites. In New York, Boston and
Philadelphia the increased patronage
at moving pictures was attributed
largely to prohibition.
"With the passing of the cocktail
hour. a lot of men find that there is
nothing to occupy them between 5
o'clock and o'clock dinner" said
one exhibitor today. "Rather than
sit in a saloon these men have ac-
ouired the habit of visiting the mo-
vies."

WEEKLY WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT

Diminished rainfall during most of
the past week was somewhat favor
able, but heavy rains occurred again
at the close of the week in the central
southern divisions where they will be
particularly unfavorable. There was
also general deficiency Of sunshine.
The general progress of crops has
been poor. Late corn is generally
only fair, except on uplands; pulling
fodder is becoming general.
Sweet potatoes promise an extra
large yield, but the crop is getting
grassy in places. Peanuts are mature
in some sections, but are giving only
a fair yield. Sorghum has suffered
from excessive rainfall, while sugar
cane continues to do well.
In some ections the weather was
warm and dry, and planting fall gar
dens made some Roadway; planting
turnips, cabbages, and green's progress
ed favorably. A large crop of hay
is indicated, but hay making is late
in most sections.
Cotton made rather por progress
during the week, and is still suffering
much from shedding and weevils. The
crop is opening very late in all Sec
tons; some early bales have been
sold. With a week or so of dry wea-
Their picking would soon become gen.
eral. The crop continues to do well
in the northern division, where, how
ever, very little is open yet.

BAPTIST rs MILLION
WORKERS MEET
Georgia Getting In Shape To Take
Care of Her Quota of 81, 5000
DIR. Cree Expresses ApPre-
citation OF Cooperation

The Baptists of Georgia, more than
two hundred strong, met in Macon
at Mercer University, last Wednesday
and Thursday, for one of the most
important meetings to be held in this
state in preparation for the big rs
Million Campaign.
The men and women who attended
the Macon meeting were representa-
tive of every corner of the state and
they went with the definite report that
their constituency was enthusiast
cally behind the movement. 1t was
a remarkable gathering of church
leaders for Georgia.
Mercer University opened her
doors to the conference and all of
the sessions were held on the college
campus. All meals were served in the
college dining hall. The delegates had
rooms at local hoteds.
DIR. Arch C. Cree, state director,
presided at all of the sessions. Ely
Galloway, associate director, was pres
ent as was DIR. F. c. Mcconnell,
member of the Southern Baptist Com
mission; Mrs. Kate Wakefield, direc-
tor for the w. M. IT,; John w. Jen-
kins, state organizer; DR.. w. H. Major
director of the speakers bureau, and
Louie Newton, director of publicity.
The twelve district organizers were
also present.
DR.. L.R. Scarborough, director for
the entire south, was present at the
conference on Wednesday and spoke
twice. He set up the detectives of
the campaign in convincing manner
and left the meeting with renewed
determination to make the campaign
a success.
Mrs. jamie Cree Bose, organizer
for the women of the South, was
present and addressed the women. She
is regarded as one of the strongest
women in the w. M. U. work of the
Southern Baptist Convention.
Following this meeting in Macon,
the associational organizers and pub
licity directors and w. M. U. Organ
izers will go to their respective as
sociations and set up the campaign in
the local churches. The associations
represent some thing of the same
unit as the county organizations did
in the war drives. 1t is hoped to
have the churches organized during
the month of September. During
October and November the church Or
CARNATIONS will be trained for the
big drive which comes the first week
in December.
II feel very much encouraged with
our general work in the campaign"
said DR.. Cree, because this Mercer
meeting indicates that everywhere we
are meeting with cooperation that
undoubtedly means our victory"
While the Baptist leaders were in
Macon they were shown many cour-
tesies by the local Baptists and the
two days passed pleasantly for every
one who attended.
Another meeting of the campaign
forces in the districts of the state
will be called shortly.

the work of the police in this city.
When the States Welcome Home is

paid the same sort of compliment to

PROHIBITION AND THE FARMERS

For years the liquor men have
been asserting that when prohibition
came the farmers would suffer be-
cause of a shutting up OF an import
ant market Farmers, it is apparent,
were not greatly deceived, because
statistics show that all rural COM
munities have been leaders in the
movement to Danish the liquor traf-
fic, and state safely rural has al
ways been counted as state safely
dry.
Farmers always have known that
il was not true that the success of
their grain sales depended on brew
cries, distilleries and wine ;nanufac-
tories. They also have known that
while the farmers, as class, furnish
few paupers and criminals, they We're,
nevertheless. called upon to bear

WORSE THAN NERO

The browning act of infamy in
the life of Nero was his callous fid-
ding while Rome burned. An
equally detestable act has been per-
petrated by certain members of the
United States senate, who persisted
in listening to the music OF their own
voices while the precious hours re-
quired for the passage of legislation
involving the" welfare of the nation
slipped away.
Apparently it mattered not to these
senators that the operation OF The
railroads would be seriously EN-
barrassed by the failure of the sen
ate to pass IA necessary appropriation
bill, 1t mattered not to them that
legislation for putting in operation
the carefully prepared plan of Sec
rotary Lane, for the reclamation OF
land to provide homes for the re-
turning soldiers, was blocked by
their filibustering. They thought OF
nothing but gratifying petty spite
and playing peanut politics.
When members of the United
States senate show such spirit OF
disregard for the interests of the peo-
pie and set such an unpatriotic eX-
ample just at the time when unrest
is rife and the country is facing the
difficulties of readJustment from a
war to a peace basis, is it any wonder
that deluded and ignorant men are
found advocating the doctrines OF
bolshivism and anarchy?
If these senators have not the de-
cency to be ashamed of themselves
their constituents should be ashamed
of them. for they have disgraced the
states which have honored them.
