the distance was 113.7 miles per

The setting up of this new mark
was a victory for Goodyear Cord tires

tire race on Goodyears in a wonder
full nonstop run. During the first
10 miles of the race there was an eX-

and De Palma, with first one then the
other leading, but the famous Italian

The fury of the race is indicated
in the condition of the track at the
conclusion of the event, the course

What is the use of the laboring

AS the growth of the country pro

Your editorial regarding 1.-THE SEN

truth than poetry.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the actions of certain members
Of the United States senate are
prompted by jealousy and craven
desire to cast discredit on the Dem
ocratic party. In other words, they
are following the game of building
their interests on the downfall of
others.
IT'S always thus with the d. o. p.
1t is anything to win, II in no other
way than plastering slime and false
claim to know the party and its
principles. 1t is the patron saint OF
capitalism and none knows 1t better
than the bristly crowd that dominates
Wall street. They are always ready
to spend their ill-gotten gains to put
the "bourbons" in power and thereby
double their millions.
remember we'll, when Republic
an senate, after a bill had passed the
house by a large majority making
the greenbacks legal tender. inserted
at the instigation of few bond lob
byists. a clause practically annulling
the bill and as result the greenback
deprecated to as low as 35 cents.
There was a time when the bond
holders could go int othe market and
buy $2.S5 in greenbacks for 81 in
gold and invest it in bonds dollar for
dollar. The very men who bought
their bonds with greenbacks refused
to accept them in payment for
their bonds and mercenary Repub-
lican senate allowed them the coin
and afterwards. in '73, demonetized
silver, the best money we ever had.
The greenback was good enough
for the soldier and the workingman,
but not for the bloated schemers who
made it their prime business to plum
der the creators of wealth. They are
the creatures Of the d. o. p. and they
are playing the same game today and.

1t seems to me. if the rate is kept

Can any woman answer the question

would make one confident thatsa spe.
cial costume for rainy day Is as .nee-
essary as one for dinner party. The
average woman, In fact, the vast ma.
jority OF women, will tell you that they
wear out their old clothes when the
skies are gray, the snow flies. and the
rain soaks the atmosphere and floods
the streets.
There are individuals who achieve

not models for other women. No one
can initiate them. An extraordinary
distinction in dress is gift, as Harry
Lauder says, and not a habit.
Now, cutting out these women who
may do anything they please in the
realm OF dress, there, is q world .of
women to be guided, counseled and

COTTON BEING
RAPIDLY SOLD

Under tne influence Of Che high
price which the staple has been bring
ing for the past month, cotton has
been ana IS being sold at a 5rapid
rate. The colt a growers have profit
ed by their experience last year when
many of them held for a large price
with the result that they saw the
price touch the top point and then
recede several cents bringing to tham
a great loss. Forty cents seems 10
have been the selling price for not
only this county but all through the
South, this year.
So great has been the cotton move
ment that cmbareoe5 have been plac
ed upon the presses at New Orleans,
Meridian, Macon ard other points but
Columbus has been mere fortunate
the press here getting the staple
away in good shape.
But for figures: On October the
third, 1918, local receipts Of wagon
cotton amounted TO 2755 bales while
on the same date this year, with the
crop thirty days late the amount OF
wagon cotton was only 9S3 bales.
That was on October the third this
year, just a little over a month ago
or about a month ago the local wagon
receipts were around 1900 bales
behind what they were last year Now
take the receipts on Nov, 9TH this
year. The great disparity in the re
ccipts between last year and this year
had been very nearly wiped out. Tn
wagon receipts Up TO Nov. 9TH for
1918 were jl6l This year the wagon
receipts for the same date were 1862.
In other words from October the Bird
this year up to November the 18th or
