AUTOMOBILE GAINS
SOUTHEAST SHOWS GREATEST
ADVANCE IN REGISTRATION.
South's Finances Strong.
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce Says Farmers Own
One-third OF Cars.
South's Finances Strong.

New York, May 16.-Greatest gains
in Registration of automobiles were
shown in the Southern states, the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce reports in a review of the au-
tomobile industry for last year. In an
nouncing there were 7,55S,S4S motor
vehicles registered in the United
States, the chamber reported that
one-third of the automobile owners
are farmers and that the greatest per-
centage of increase in registration
had been found in the cotton growing
sections of the south.
The exceptional gains, it states, is
due to the fact that there have been
heavy demands for cotton during the
war and since which have put the
south in a strong financial position
and has enabled thousands Of cotton
growers to Sc motor power for trans
portation, whereas in the pre-War
days the greater part of Dixie was
too poor to afford efficient farm equip
ment.
North Carolina led all states in the
percentage of gain in registrations
with 81 per cent. South Carolina
showed the second largest state gain
with 43 per cent. New York had the
largest state registration and the
LARGEST gross gain, while California
leads for the number of automobiles
in ratio to her population.

What are the most important pre-
cautions to be observed in poisoning
Poisoning should not be undertaken
in 1920 except On heavily infested
land which would produce half bale
per acre in the entire absence of wee
vii injury.
Before you use calcium arsenate be
sure that it conforms to the govern
ment specifications.
Be sure that you have an approved
busting machine Some dusting ma
chimes are not satisfactory for this
work.
Do not undertake more than you
are absolutely sure you can handle
thoroughly. Do not miss or handle
haphazardly single step in the rec
concentrations or you may court en-
tire failure.
Where approved hand dusting ma
chimes are used, it is suggested tha'

PENSION MONEY.
Delay in Getting Money to Confeder.
at Veterans This Year.

There has been considerable delay
in distributing the pension money to
the Confederate veterans and wild
ows this year. On account of the
change in the pension law, much of
the work Of registering the pension
ers had to be done over again, and
the subsequent apportionment of the
fund has caused an unusual delay.
However, Pension Commissioner }.
D. Fielder stated Monday that the
pension check is expected to arrive
any day. AS soon as the money is
received, it will be paid out promptly
by J. J. Brabham, Jr., judge OF pro-
bate, who will have the payment OF
the fund in charge this year.

BYRNES CAUSES A
STORM IN HOUSE
CAUSES SPEAKER GILLETTE TO
MAKE FOOLISH DISPLAY.
Democrats Are Shocked.
Chair in Fit of Partisan Resentment
Refuses to Put Representative
Byrnes's Request to House.

Washington, May 14.-Investigate
the investigating committee. This
was the purport of resolution intro
duced in the House today by Repre-
sentative James F. Byrnes, of South
Carolina, whose speech in support OF
his resolution was such scathing ar
faignment of the so-called Graham
committee that Speaker Gillette had
a brainsGorm and made a foolish dis
play of himself.
Because of interruption from the
Republican side which he handled
with great effectiveness, the South
Carolina Congressman was not able
to finish his speech in the twenty min
utes which he had obtained. At the
end of that period he asked unani-
nous consent to speak for five min
utes more In a fit of partisan re-
sentiment, Speaker Gillette refused to
submit the request to the House.
docs the speaker object" asked
Mr.. Byrnes, in astonishment no.
said the speaker, but the chair does
not recognize the gentleman for that
purpose" Former Speaker Champ
Clark, floor leader of the minority
here, arose to express the hope that
the time of the South Carolinan
would be extended five minutes as he
had requested.
Out of Order, Says Gillette.
''The gentleman from Missouri and
the gentleman from South Carolina
are both out of order and will take
their Seats" ordered the speaker.
"Will the chair permit me to remain
in the house." sarcasutcally replied
Byrnes, while former Speaker Clark
walked out of the chamber in mar
ticulate disgust. Speaker Gillette
made no answer to Byrnes's sally,
but cut matters short by recognizing
Representative Sells, Republican, of
Tennessee, who had not even risen
from his heat.
The refusal of the speaker to put
the request of Mr. Byrnes to the
house is declared to be without prec-
edent. Nevertheless, Mr.. Gillette said
later in conversation that he intended
to continue this method of handling
requests for additional time under
similar circumstances
The Democratic national committee
thought so much of Byrnes's speech
that it is using it as its publicity fea-
ture for this weekend and will cir
culate it freely during the campaign.

be nominated at San Francisco.
There continues to be strong un-
dercurrent for McAdoo, who unques-
tionably has a much larger following
in the largely-populated twilight zone
of voters to whom the Democratic
party has to make a good appeal to
have chance of winning.
Nevertheless, there is a large and
substantial element of Democrats who
are not anxious to see Mr.. McAdoo
nominated, and these will be repre-
sented by a great many delegates at
San Francisco. Among them will be,
no doubt, the big New York delega-
ton under the domination of Tam
many Hall. There is no question that
Mr.. McAdoo treated 'em rough
the Tammanyites- he was in
official power, and they don't want
him around if they can help it, any
more than they wanted his disting-
uished father-in-law around after
they found out what Col. Harvey did.
AS to this New York delegation at
San Francisco, there is a rumor cur
rent in usually sophisticated circles
that Vice President Thomas R. Mar
shall will probably get the New York
vote, and that added to the Indiana
vote and the vote of several other
states from which he can count on
this support, will make him serious
possibility for the Presidential nomi-
nation. 1t is fair and proper to re-
mark that the democracy might go
farther and fare worse than they
would if they nominated the Vice
President-indeed, they might easily
go nearer and fare worse, for that
matter. The Vice President is an
interesting man, quite a sincere one,
and independent in thought and
sreech. To say that he has made a
gooG Vice President would be rather
ar empty utterance, but he made a
good Governor of Indiana before he
was sent to Washington, and by this
time he certainly "knOWs the ropes
here. Former Speaker Champ Clark
may get more votes in the convent on
thar would be expected, though lis
nomination is not regarded as I prob,
ability by anybody not directly "boom-
ing" it.
AS for Bryan, will he "be good
about the league of nations if the
convention will be coed about the
question of prohibition? Maybe ne
will. He certainly cares lot more
about prohibition than he does about
the !eague-you may be sure CT that

from the steps of the capitol to thous-

convention, Dr. George w. Truett, OF
Dallas, Texas, today endorsed the
league of nations and predicted that il
'tit does not come today it will as in
exorably come tomorrow as that God
is on His throne"
A volley of cheers from men and
women, gathered here from seventeen
southern, states, greeted the state,
ment.
''Standing under the shadow of the
United States senate,' DR.. Truett de-
clared, Il dare to say as citizen and
as Christian and moral teacher that
the moral force of the United States
of America without any regard to po-
litical party, will never rest until we
have a league Of nations.
Worldwide Tragedy.
II dare to say also that the un-
questioned majorities of both great
political parties in this country re-
gard the delay in the ratification of
the league of nations as national
and worldwide tragedy. I can certify
the men of all political parties that
the moral forces of this country will
not be silent until there is put forth
a great league of nations that shall
strive with all it's might to put an
end to the diabolism and the horror
of war.

yonder in the White House pleaded
and pleads yet that the nation will
take its part with the others in bring
ing in new era wherein shall dwell
