ports, largely because of the lack of
cars, but he contends that prices have
been on the toboggan slide because of
a great surplus, which sooner or later
must find not only domestic but
foreign market.
There is no longer any question as
to an Astounding harvest in all manner
Of agricultural products" the Douglas
report said. ''The winter wheat crop
will be about 535 .O0o,o bushels and
the spring wheat not less than 275,-
100000 bushels, despite severe local
damage by black rust in some states in
the Northwest. With few more time

bushels of corn, of which the Southern
states will furnish about one-third
There will be a plentiful supply OF
other products - grain, tuber-forage.

alone, taking into account that carried
over from last season, is more than

Touching on business conditions, Mr..
Douglas said:

sometimes entire closing down of the

URGES GEORGIA
RATIFY At Once
Upshaw Says, Should
Seize Suffrage Crown
Rightfully Hers

ATLANTA, July 9.-Congressman
William D. Upshaw of the Fifth dis
trict. has declared himself in favor
of the legislature rushing through
the suffrage amendment at the pres
ent session without additional ex
pense to the state as well as to give
the state he honor of being he first
to finish the job. He has written an
open letter to the legislature on the
subject.
Mr.. Upshaw has been invited to
address the North Carolina ieglsla-
ture in August in behalf of suffrage.
He has accepted the invitation.
81 am puzzled am amazed
am positively dumfounded that Geor-
gia should be content to sit with fold
ed hands and let the Republican state
of Vermont or any other state, take
her rightful crown. Equal suffrage
is coming Just as sure as few more
suns will rise and set. Why should
not Georgia rise to the supreme
height of sanity and victory and have
the national honor of doing the big
thing?
Continuing Mr.. Upshaw said:
But again l remind our legisla-
tors that this triumph of Democratic
government is speeding toward a
goal. The Republican party had
fifty years of administrative domi-
nation in which to grant this enamel
