NC. DEMOCRATS
FOR SUFFRACEIN
KEYNOTE SPEECH
May Send Woman Dele
gate In Big Four To
Convention

RALEIGH, N. c., April 8-Friends
of woman suffrage at the opening to-
day of the democratic state conven-
ton expressed their confident belief
that the enfranchisement of women
would be endorsed and that Mrs. Pal
mer Jerman would be elected one of
the big Four" delegates to the San
Francisco convention.
Congressman Clyde Hoey delivered
the keynote address.
Hoey, as temporary chairman, re-
viewed the work of the party in the
administration of the states affairs,
advocated passage at the special ses-
sion of the assembly of the constitu-
tional amendment granting full suff-
rage to women, and declared the dem
ocrats boldly accepted the challenge
of the republicans, predicting that in
the November election, "the republi-
cans will be buried under an ava
lanche of ballots from which there
will be no political resurrection in
North Carolina"
Four outstanding measures for the
state, Mr.. Hoey said, must be COM
pleted. They were the revaluation
act, to give a fair and just system
of taxation; the income tax amend
ment, to relieve all real and personal
property from any tax whatever for
state purposes; a state system of
highways, to facilitate marketing and
general transportation, and full suf-
frage for women.
"The democracy of North Caro-
lina," declared Mr.. Hoey, welcome
the splendid womanhood of the state
to share fully the duties and respon-
sibilities of government, and | hope to
see, our general assembly at its spec
ial session ratify the suffrage amend
ment. Such action will serve the
two-fold purpose of granting simple,
though delayed justice to our women,
and exercising for ourselves the privi-
lege of comforting the right of full
suffrage upon our women. Every
body can support that proposition
Those of US who believe in suffrage
for women can vote for it upon that
ground, and those who are opposed
to it can support it because they are
going to have it any way and 1t would
be much more gracious for it to come
by the vote of the men of our own
state"
Assailing the Republican party of
North Carolina and of the nation,
Senator Lee S. Overman declared
the Republicans, 'hoping to win the
next election by discrediting the
great head of the Democratic party,
have entered into a conspiracy of
abuse and SANDER of the vilest and
most inhuman kind against the Pres
ident of the United States" Senator
Overman declared he believed the
American people would resent at the
ballot box "this unjust propaganda
of SANDER"

MIR. and Mrs. Daniels
Return From Florida

Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Daniels return
ed to Americus last night by auto
mobile from their Florida trip. They
left Americus February 7 and were
away two months to the day. They

party left Jacksonville Wednesday
morning at 7 o'clock and reached
Americus at 8 p. m. without any

Waycross to Americus were in splen-

ing to a very heavy rain between
Jacksonville and Waycross, travelling

STUCK IN DITCH
But Ford Came Along
And Everything Was
Happy

Senator Hoke Smith returned to
Atlanta direct from Americus on the
1924 Central of Georgia train last
night after a pleasant day spent in
Americus. He will make probably
the principal address of his campaign
in Georgia in Atlanta tonight Sena-
tor Smith was greatly pleased with
his stay here, although feeling con-
fatigue. After his speech
at noon, he spent some time in con-
ference with supporters from this
section. Late in the afternoon he
took a nap in his room at the Windsor
and about o'clock went on an auto
trip into the country with L. G. Coun-
ell, Stephen Pace, E. B. Everette and
others. The party motored through
Souther Field, inspection of which
pleased the senator very much, and
from there they sped eastward, view
ing some of the fine farm land Of
that section.
Shortly before starting on the re-
turn to the city mudhole in the road
was encountered, necessitating turn
ing about. The roadway proved too
narrow for the big Packard, which
went into the ditch at the side of the
road, requiring the summoning from
the city of a huge truck to pull it
out. While the truck was being Sc
cured Senator Smith was sent back
to the city in passing Ford. The
entire party reached the city long
before train time, laughing at their
misfortune on the road.

HOOVER HOPES
WILL NOT DOWN
Robt. Small Says He Will
Yield At San Fran
cisco

SAN FRANCISCO, April Sid
ney M. Van Wyck, chairman of the
executive committee of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, after
a conference with leaders of the par
ty in California, said that while
Hoover's friends in the Democratic
party regret to see Hoover affiliate
himself with the Republican party,
nevertheless they are still loyal to
Hoover. Van Wyck said:
"We don't think Hoover can be
nominated at the Republican conven-
ton, and we don't think he will ac-
cept the nomination if it is offered
him, because the platform will not
conform to his standard as outlined
in his statement. That will leave him
free to accept the Democratic nomi-
nation.
eve believe that Hoover's friends
in California were tricked by the
johnson machine into entering his
name as a Republican candidate in
California. Opposed to the powerful
johnson machine, with all of the pol
iticians back of johnson, and with
their enormous financial resources, we
don't think Hoover can carry Cali
fornia in the Republican primaries.
We Democrats who are for Hoover
cannot support him in the Republl-
can primaries, but we could have
given him the almost solid support Of
the Democratic delegation to the ma
tional convention if he had permit
ed US to do so. We'still think Hoov-
er will be the Democratic nominee for
president"

Immigrants Are
 FlOcking to the
 Capital of Brazil

Buenos Aires, Feb. 9.-Every steamer arriving here from Latin ports of Europe and from Holland IS loaded with immigrants coming here to settle. Most of those on the Dutch ships are Germans. They are attracted by the facts that Ar gentina is prosperous, unscathed by war and belief that it gives prom ise to rapid development.
 A great increase in the foreign population of the Argentine is ex- pected owing to this immigration. AL ready nearly one-half of the popula- ton of Buenos Aires is foreign-born ard majority of these have failed to become citizens, although only two years residence is required. Many have long been residents of Argentina and are large property owners.
 The influx of new immigrants has prompted proposal by Dr. Juan Carlos Garay, professor of law Tn the University of Ruenos Aires, to ipr,pose enactment of a law making naturalization obligatory without re- nunciation of citizenship in the country of birth. Professor Garay hopes in that way to solve the prob lem presented by failure of so many foreign-born persons to become citi-- zens and take part in the affairs and politics of the country. He admits that this is a revolutionary doctrine, but contends that for Argentina its advantages would outweigh the dis advantages.

PUT STOMACH IN
 FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From an Excess of Hydr0chloric
 Acid,

undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather ferments the same as food left in the open air says noted authority. He also tells us that indigestion is caused by hy- per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which prevents complete di- gcstion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel heavy, lum- py misery in the chest we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all diges- tive acide and instead, get from any pharmacy four ounces of lad Salts and take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and drink whlle it is cffervcscing and further more, to continue this for a week. While relief follows the first dose, it Is important to neutralize the acidi- ty, remove the gas-making mass start the liver, stimulate the kid
 neys and thus promote free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and is
 made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithja and sodium phosphate. This harmless
 salts is used by thousands of peo- pie for stomach trouble with excel lent results. Adv

S13O,554,OO0 Value of State Livestock

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-There are
 some gratifying evidences of pro- press shown by the livestock report for the state of Arkansas just is- sued today by Charles s. Bouton, field agent, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, and dim U. Ferguson, state commissioner ot az riculture.
 The value of all livestock on farms
 January 1, 1920, shown by the re- port is S13O,554, 900, as compared to S130 ,925 ,O0O January 1, 1919 The maintenance in total value is due alone to increases in numbers oi
 certain classes of stock, like mules and sheen, and not to increased av. craze value per head, except ot horses and mules. Horses show a S1O per capita increase over year ago: mules show an increased aver lane of S17 per head with nearly a ithfee percent increase in total mum hers. Mich cows show slight de- crease in number, but other cattle show nearly two percent increase The largest increase in numbers IS with sheep, which show twenty | five percent gain over year ago;
 The bringing in from the West ot quite number of flocks, together with increased interest in the pns- mess in the state as a whole, is re- sponsible for this pleasing showine' Hogs have suffered decided de- crease in numbers, due particularly to the discrepancies between the price of hogs and the price of corn l 1t is impossible under present pr.ce9 conditions for growers to buy ana finish hogs at a profit. In value oi all livestock Arkansas ranks twenty
 seventh in the list of states.
