TOHEAR PETITION
FOR INCREASE IN
RATE ON COTTON

OF particular interest too the cotton
producing, shipping and manufac-
turing interests Of Georgia is the
special session to be held by the
state railroad commission on Friday
of this week for the purpose of
hearing the petition of the Georgia
carriers as to increased freight
rates on cotton, cotton linters and
brick
When the state commission few
days ago, after hearing on the sub
ject, authorized 25 per. cent in
crease in freight and passenger
rates in conformity with the in
commerce commission, exceptions
were made in the case of rates on
cotton, cotton linters and brick. The
rates on these commodities were al
lowed to remain at the figures al
ready established, which were about
period of federal control.
The Georgia carriers, however, in
an effort to secure increased rates
on these commodities and eliminate
the exception made by the state com
mission, have presented a petition
manager for the Central of Georgia
railroad, asking for public hearing
on the matter. Thus the commission
has fixed Friday, September 10, as
the date for this special session.
Several other important matters
are to come up before the commits
sion within the next week or ten
days. On September Is the commits.
sion will hear evidence and argu-
ments on the petition of the Georgia
Railway & Power company for an
increase in fares on the Atlanta
Northern railroad which operates
between Atlanta and Marietta. An
eight-cent fare is asked between
each of the stations along the route
making the total fare Sc cents be-
tween Atlanta and Marietta. The
fare is now S5 cents.
On September 16 the commission
will hear arguments as to whether
it has jurisdiction over steam heat

Cooperative Idea
For Farmers Is
Favored bv Cox

GRAND Forks, N. D., Sept. r.
Cooperative buying and selling by
farmers was advocated by Governor
James M. Cox in his first speech in
North Dakota here today. The gov
ernor warned that measures must be
taken to stop the trend from the
farm to city, or within ten years the
United States will have to be i'm
porting foodstuffs.
New antitrust laws, stating just
how far labor and cooperative farm
organizations may go in their work,
should be passed, he said.
He made sharp attack on the big
packing and cold storage interests,
claiming that cold storage has been
made an agency of profiteering.
He said Senator Harding's appeal
to put the good features of the
League of nations into a revived
Hague tribunal was like trying. to

u. S. PROTESTS To-
MEXICO AGAINST
OLDO OIL PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Sept. Z. The
United States has sent note Wig
orously protesting to the new Next
can government against continuance
Of the Carranza program against
American oil properties in Mexico. 1t
was learned today.
This governments communication
Is understood to leave the inference
that American recognition Of the new
Mexican government will be found
impossible If the conf1scatory policy
of Carranza toward American oil in
terests Is continued.
Carranza's policy Of oil confisca-
ton took the form Of various DEGREES
and legislation designed to national
fze oil lands.
This government cannot accept
this confiscatory policy, the note is
believed to state and further is I'M
derstood to point out that the oppo-
sition to the Carranza program was
clearly set forth in number of
notes of the old government.
The American note is said to be
aimed ostensibly at the alleged rec
ognition by the Mexican government
of announcement claims filed against
American oil lands. According to
representatives of American oil COM
panies in Mexico, these claims ask
ed permission to develop the oil re-
sources of land owned by Americans.
Recognition Of the claims. was based
on the contention that the subsoil Of
oil lands is owned by the state.

to bring Gardiner from ranch some
distance from town.
1t was stated that Gardiner took
refuge at this ranch after his es-
cape from L4.e bandits during the
fight at Rancho Divisidero more than
a week ago. An escort was sent out
for Gardiner. General. Estrada add

Relief for Torpid Livers
and Habitual Constipatino

The liver is the largest and
most important organ in the body,
and when the liver refuses to act,
it causes constipation, bilionsness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead
to colds, influenza or other Sc
rious troubles unless corrected
Immediately.
An inactive liver places an ex-
ira burden on the kidneys, which
overtaxes them and causes the
blood to absorb and carry into the
system the impurities that the
liver and kidneys have failed to
eliminate.
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third Of your
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every, few
nights. Calomel or other ordi-
nary laxatiyes do not go far

SUICIDE Of
BOB bLANCETT

| Bob Blancett committed suicide
Sunday morning by drinking lysol
! Funeral services were held Mon
| day, conducted by Elder Mickey.
and the body was buried in Garland
cemetery.
A widow and six children, the
oldest about thirteen years of age.
are left with no resources whatever.
The facts as near as we can learn
them, both as to the act and the
circumstances leading up to it, are
as follows:
First, Bob Blancett was a good
fellow, good worker and good
farmer. He was renting from E.
McGee, who with others had
"stakcd" him for teams, implements
ETC.
There is no doubt that he would
have made good, but he had a
penchant for gambling, and on sew
eral occasions had sat in poker
games with the tinhorn fraternity of
Estancia and lost money that did
not really belong to him. His
friends protested and he promised
that he would not do it again.
But on last Saturday night he was
in the game again and of course
lost, drawing checks that he knew.
or had good reason to believe, would
not be honored.
He went home Sunday morning
leaving town about six o'clock. |
Arriving at home he would not talk. |
but asked for bottle of lysol to
apply to a minor injury on his
hand, and told Mrs. Blancett that
he would need feather to apply it |
with. AS she turned to get the
feather for him, he drank the lysol.
She glanced back and. saw the ac-
tion and ran and knocked the bottle
out Of his hand. She at once tried
to get him to take some antidote.
but he refused and went in anoth
er room and locked the door. She
then called doctor, who was soon
there and all that was possible was
done to save his lifeA but he died
soon after noon, after a rally that
led to hope that he would recover.
This is one of the saddest trag-
edies to occur in this community. Il
For here was man who, but fol
the weakness mentioned, was a good
man in every respect and was sore
|y needed by his family.
