Knitting Official Looks
For Business Boom
With Coming Year

That early in the new year there
will be marked Improvement in all
lines of business was the prediction
made Saturday by Charles R. White.
general sales manager Of the Rox-
ford knitting mills. of Philadelphia.
Mr.. White was in Atlanta on the last
leg of a journey which has taken
him to the principal cities from New
York through the west to the Pa
ciic coast and back through the
southern states.
Mr.. White said that large num-
bers of buyers throughout the coun-
try had indicated their purposes to
be in the market for stocks early in
the year He said that the surplus
of manufactured products occasion
ed by an over-anticipated demand
was being rapidly absorbed and that
following the placing of orders in
mills which had curtailed produce
ton will begin an increased output
and this will necessarily result in
better prices for raw materials.
Mr.. White does not expect that the
demand will be as heavy as it was
during the war, but he anticipates
that business will rapidly assume
stable basis and that the readjust-
ment period will soon be over.
He said that on his trip he had
made a careful survey of business
conditions in all lines; that he is
firmly of the opinion that the bottom
has about been reached in low prices.
and that 1921 would prove salts
factory business year.

Combination Motor and
Torpedo Boat Launched;
Is Called Sea Hornet'

NEW YORK, Dec. ia high
powered motor boat, which during
times of peace can be carried on bat
war converted in a few moments
into a deadly torpedo boat. was dem
onstrated here today in the launch
ing of the first vessel of new aux
iliary known as type A-3 sea hor-
form an important part of Ameri-
cas- coast defense, and the launch
ing took place in the presence of
more than a hundred regular army
and national guard officers, as well
as representatives of the navy and
the governors of New York and New
Jersey.
The "sea hornet" type was con-
ceived during the war and was held
as a navy secret, it's operation being
prevented by the armistice. It is a
tWin-screw 600-horse power motor
boat, So feet long. with a hinge bow
which drops from place. In the bow
is a 21-inch torpedo, carrying in it's
war head 900 pounds of high ex-
plosive, Two additional torpedoes
are carried as well as six depth
bombs. When in operation as a war
craft the "sea hornet" which carries
a crew of four men, sinks until but
a little more than one foot of the
huh is above the water line.
The plan of the inventor and those
interested in the invention is to have
the boat operate in squadrons-or
rather "swarms" against enemy craft.
The small size of the craft and it's
low visibility would make the posi-
bility Of one or more of them making
target of an enemy battleship very
high, especially at night.

Soldiers Fooled in
Attempt to Release
Comrade From Iail

COLUMBUS, Ga, Dec. 11.-Prompt
action on the part Of Colonel Lister,
commandant at Camp Benning, last
night prevented serious trouble
which threatened to develop into a
riot.
Chief Moore. of the Columbus po-
lice department, received telephone
message at 6 o'clock to the effect that
fifty armed soldiers were en- route to
Columbus to get one of their COM
rades out Of the county jail. The
chief marshaled all his forces for
action, placing twenty-five officers in
the vicinity Of the Jail, and asking
for the aid of the local military
police. Under Sergeant McFeley,
eighteen men were placed at the dis
posal of Chief Moore and all were or
dered to be in readiness for action.
Meantime Colonel Lister, Major
Rumbo and Lieutenant Compton over
took the soldiers, held up the party
and demanded an explanation. The
men readily admitted their mission
and all were ordered back to camp
Some thirty of the number were
found to be armed, it was stated
They quietly submitted to the COM
mands of the officers and all were
placed in the barracks.
Military authorities say they Will
be given attention at the proper time.
They did not expect any further
trouble Just who the men were aft
err was not stated, but it is believed
to have been one Of the three men
sentenced for the theft of an auto
mobile two days ago. All is quiet

Mystery Shrouds
Prolonged Sleep
OF Texas Woman

BOSTON, Dec. 11.-While Mrs.
Florence Stevenson, Port Arthur,
Tex, lay in a hospital here tonight
asleep unnaturally under some mys-
terious influence, police were inves-
tigating the circumstances under
which she and her daughter, Ruth,
IS, were found unconscious in their
Pullman compartment aboard, train
which arrived here today.
The woman, it was said, had been
asleep "a hours before she was re-
moved from the train and it was te-
lieved her condition was critical.
The daughter, after being treated,
was able to go to the home of a
cousin.
The girl said she believed her
mother had been drugged by a man
discharged from her employment
She said her mother had hired a
private detective to accompany them
east from Port Arthur, but that her
mother had been forced to discharge
him for insolence. She said the man
refused to leave the train when dis
charged and she believed he had in
some way drugged her mother.
She was unable to explain how
the drug had been administered.

FARMERS HOLD
COTTON ANDPLAN
RIGID ECONOMY

: MOULTRIE, Ca, Dec. 1.-THE
present cotton holding movement is
the strongest Moultrie has ever
seen. With, nearly half of the coun-
tvs 1920 production still in the
hands of the growers. the cotton
market here is as quiet as it usually
is in midsummer. Practically no
sales have been made here in more
than month. Growers are hold
ing firmly to the view that the mar
ket will rally after the holidays and
that the price may again go to TWEEN
ty-five cents.
And in the meantime farmers are
making preparations to practice di-
versification on their places on the
biggest scale known since 1915.
Feed crops and live stock are to be
given the right of way. Some cot
ton will be planted, of course, but
the acreage will be the smallest ever
known in Colquitt, those yho study
farm conditions assert. Planters
are also going to go slow in buying
fertilizer, it is said, and they hope
to produce the cheapest crop they
have grown in four years. Labor
i. morep lentiful than it has been
since the war. Wage hands who
have been demanding fabulous prices
for their services are said to be seek
irg jobs at pay on about the same
basis as ruled in 1916. The tendency
to economize is being felt by the live
stock dealers and concerns that deal
in modern far mmachinery, nese
two lines of business reporting little
activity

Luxury Expenditures
300Pct. in Excess of
That for Education

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. LEX
penditures in the United States last
year for luxuries, approximately So
O00, 100000, was more than 300 per
cent in excess of the expenditures
for education, P. P. Claxton. United
States commissioner of education,
told a conference here today of edu-
Gators and state officials from six
southern states.
For tobacco alone. Mr.. Claxton as
serted, the expenditure last year
was over a billion dollars more than
that spent for education.
eff we can raise the standards or
the persons to whom we intrust the
training of our children through cur.
failing our tobacco consumption,
Mr.. Claxton declared. then we
should 'Hooverize' our cigars, ciga-
rettes, snuff and chewing tobacco"
The ideal school year is $50 days,
Mr.. Claxton said, while the average
in the United States is 1852. He urged
that at least per cent of govern
ment revenues be spent for educa-
ton. The present expenditure, he
said, was l ga per cent.
Teh conference here. one of sew
eral regional meetings to be held
throughout the country, was attend
ed by representatives of educational
institutions and state governments
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi.
