New York, November 6.-(Specal.)- Heavy liquidation of the December posi- tfon against purchases of spot cotton in the south caused sherply lower market this morning. This selling was followed by liquidation by Wall street interests of cotton recently purchased on the theory that. post election boom would take place. The situation is still one of gen. eral liquidation throughout the country with the retailer fighting any decline and the public refusing to buy, knowing that wholesale prices are down as conse- quence. No support comes from the spinning industry because the high priced goods of last spring are yet to be sold and this with cancellations has thrown the burden back on the spinner In the meanwhile the usual settlement period of accounts in the south is ap- preaching and holders are becoming un- easy Hubbard Bros X Co.

NEW MILLIONAIRES
 AS RESULT OF WAR
By HOLLAND

New York, February 10.-(speciaL)-AI sorts of conjectures are made of the number of millionaires, who were not millionaires when the European war be- gan. who can now be listed among the newly rich in the United States. Some times it has been estimated that as many as 2o,0OO persons who were simply we'll to-do in 1914 are now millionailes. one of the best authorities is of the opinion that 2o,OOo is too small number, and that at least 25.000 are now millionaires who did not enjoy a fortune of that kind six years ago.
 The wonder is where these millionaires are to be found Many would jump at conclusion that they are citizens of New York or of nearby places who operated in the securities market. In other words the list of new millionaires is presumed by many to be a so-called Wall street list. Like many other th-ags that are attributed to Wall street and to the money power, so called, this view is far from ccrrect. Those who are competent to give an opinion say that probably smaller number of new millionaires will

HOKE SMITH THREATENS
 TO ENTER PRIMARY

Washington, February 10--(Special0- Senator Smith of Georgia formerly de- clared today that if Senator Underwood, as an advocate of the League of Nations, became a candidate in the Georgia presi- dential primary April 20, he, himself. would become a candidate as an oppon- ent of the League of Nations
 The statement of Senator Smith was is sued after a conference between him and ex-Senator Hardwiek of Georgia, who aspires to the governorship of that state, despite his recent defeat on an issue ln- volving patriotism in his campaign for reelection to the Senate.
 Senator Underwood made no comment on the Smith statement. It is known. however, that he had given no serious thought to the desire of the Georgia ex- ecutive committee that he offer as d can didate for the presidency. The Georgla congressional delegation. as previously reported, invited Senator Underwood iask Saturday to be q candidate in Georgia, but the Senator declared that he had already formally announced that he would net seek the presidency.

cultivated as to make certain of a yearly crop of |, ,000, ,000 600 bushels a year Science has shown to those whose business is cultivation of rice now by improved meth ods how the harvest can be enormously increased. In the great rice districts of Louisiana and Texas the rice farmers pay twenty times as much for labor as is paid to the rice laborers of China, but not withstanding this great increase of labor cost Louisiana and Texas can produce rice at about one-third of cost of production in China and Japan.
 OUR MEAT PRODUCTS
 Only year or two before the European war began some alarming reports were published in which it was intimated that our resources in meat were rapidly fall ing behind American demand, and that it would be necessary to go to South Amer ica or Mexico in order to secure beef enough to overcome this apprehendedd deficit But the war taught us that these apprehensions were without foundation, and we were able to supply Europe and our armies in Europe with meat and have sufficient supply for domestic use.
 Undoubtedly there will hereafter be a decrease in the supply of beef because that is economically produced only in those sections where grazing land is cheap. But the great ranches of this kind are gradually being taken up by the farmers. On the other hand there is to be a great increase in the production of pork products partly because the hog is

bakers of the United States are oontem- plating an increase in the price of bread, then there arises apprehension that the worlds food supply is not equal to the demands. However, the best authorities are of the opinion that we have reached the peak of high prices for food because throughout the world there is a gradual increase in supplies of this kind. If the harvests of this year are fairly good and certainly If they equal the harvests of lel9, then apprehension of famine or star vation will be greatly relieved provided only adequate transportation can be ob- tained.
 Some twenty-five years ago Dr. William Crookes of England ventured the predic- ton that within few years the wheat crops of the world would not be sufficient to meet the demands of the people for wheat or flour. Yet when the enormous demands for wheat and flour began shortly after Ine German armies faced toward Paris, there began ah unprece- derted production of wheat. Prof. J.

MOSQUITO IN SOUTH
 FACES EXTINCTION

Washington, February 10-(Special.)- Complete elimination of the malaria prob lem in the southern states and eradica- ton of the anopheles mosquito, the pest while causes it is only a matter of time, thanks to steps that have already been taken and others projected by prominent
 members of Congress, high federal gov ernnent officials, state and local health officers in the south and the develop
 meEt organizations of that region which are working along the lines of a pro- l gran,ne that includes betterment of health conditions and sanitation. And
 thA time required to accomplish these re-
 suits may be reduced to as little as two | ears, t is predicted, If lie necessary | frnds and man power aIv made avail able.
 1 In line with it's work of enc ouragin | the anti-malaria campaign in the south, | as oa.I led on by health officials and de-
 velcrmcnt organizations there, the United
 States public health service is co-operat- with the national malaria committee. To assist in propaganda work against ma l laria and it's carrier, the mosquito, Sur geon General Blue of the public health seivice, who is chairman of the malaria committee, has announced the appoint
 ment of 6 subcommittee on education and publicity of the committee
 George R. Wheeler of Charleston. man. i aEer cf the South Carolina LanG-own-
 CTS Assc citation, has been se1ccted for
 membership on this subcommittee, in rec ogritiol of the good work done by him 1 and his organization in fighting malaria ] last year. Other members of the sub
 committee are ss follows: Dr. Oscar Bowling. state fealth officer, New Or | lnans: nr. T. F. Abercrombe, state 1 n Aalth officer, Atlanta; Dr. Frederick R. Green, secretary council on health ana rublic instruction. American Mieulcal As sociaton, Chicago. and Dr. w. :. Rankin, state heaIth officer, Raleigh. :! C MT Wheeler has accepted the appoint ment in letter to Surgeon General Blue, if which he sugGests that the arteommit- tee hold its first meeting at McrtRomery March l1-lS, coiuoident with the quarterly
 meeting of officers of the Sollhern Set
 tlement and Development Organ 'zation
 and state managers of it's aiilia ed as-
 sociation.
 The anti-malaria campaign in the south
 has attracted the attention of prominent
 members of Congress and legislation has
 been proposed in the national legislature to assist in the work. For example. Sem atcr Harris of Georgia has recently intro- fuced A Joint resolution authorizing an appropriation of half million ooiiars to enable the public health service 10 co- operate with the states in the invesuga- tion and control of malaria in the United States. A similar measure has been lh- troduced by Representative Overstreet of Georgia. Besides the federal government. and the states and local health authori- tics and development organizations sof the south being lined up in this work, 1t has been suggested that the Rockefeller fcunCat.on, which has been working on the hookworm and other health problems might be interested in tackling the ano- pheles mosquito.

the cheapest and most easily fed of ali meat animals.
 In the view of Professor Smith there is no reason why cows of progressive couIf tries should not produce each one at least 5000 quarts of good milk each year. Ve egetable oils were so successfully pro- dueed in war days that they were suf- ficient to prevent famine in animal fats during the war
 One thing which the war has taught the world is the certainty that food can he produced sufficient to meet any demand, although it may be in some cases there is to be a change from the kind of food we have been accustomed to use to other products, which are chiefly the results of science and a wise investment of capi- tai.

be found in the Wall street or financial district than in other parts of the United States.
 Many huge profits were made while the war WAS in progress, but they were not gained by those who ventured in the se- curities market or who made investments in industries. The manufacturers of the United States on the whole did gain very large profits. Those who furnished the government with war supplies harvested very rich returns. So also many mer- chants gained unprecedented profits This was due to the fact that the public found itself. in possession of means for purchas- ing commodities which never before had they possessed. What IS sometimes called the increased purchasing power of the public, but not the public which receives salaries or who are employed as clerks. has never been eXcelled.
 HOW THE INVESTORS PARED
 If it were possible for skilled account ants or actuaries to trace the transac- tions of the investors since the war be- gau presumably it would be shown that on the whole investors have not come ou* more than even. Some of them have ex- perienced losses. The fortunes of war, it has been said, have not been Wall street fortunes. Millionaires' fortunes have been distributed through many parts of the country and relatively speaking, by a much larger percentage than has been the case in New York.
