The SECOND HEAT
COMMITTEE REFUSES TO LOOK
INTO ALLEGED ILLEGAL
VOTES IN DECATUR CO.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The second pri-
mary in the gubernatorial race has
been formally ordered for Oct. 6. The
state convention is fixed for the city
auditorium in Macon on October 20
at 10 a. m.
As there is no money with which
to pay the expenses of this primary,
and the candidates themselves could
not bear the expenses of this cleo
ton it was provided in the resolution
of the committee that the friends
and supporters of Messrs. Walker and
Hardwick in each county provide
means for conducting the turnover,
either by contribution of the neces-
sary funds or by securing voluntary
managers and clerks. The resolution
expressly says that the managerial
personnel in the counties shall be dl-
vided as equally as possible between
the two candidates. Chairmen of
county executive committees will be
required to report to the secretary
of the state committee, Hiram l..
Gardner, by October l as to wheth-
er or not the details of the primary
in their county have been arranged.
In the case of failure of any county
to complete arrangements the state
secretary is to take the necessary
steps in coordination with the can
didates to make final arrangements.
Consolidation of the vote in the
recent primary showed 100 county
unit votes for Hardwick, lacking four
of the number required to nominate
on the first ballot; Walker TIA, and
Holder %.
Hardwick Challenges Walker.
Following the action of the sub
committee Mr. Hardwick issued
challenge to Mr.. Walker for a series
of debates, in which he said: "Since
you have been reported by the press
as assailing in your public speeches
my official record, my views, and my
positions in this campaign, and since
your reported speeches constitute an
unwarranted and unjust misrepre--
sentation of my views, positions and
conduct, and since | am anxious to
take issue with you in reference to
certain of your own official acts and
wish to do so in your presence and
to your face, I hereby respectfully
invite you to meet me in a series OF
at least six joint debates"
Mr.. Walker replied Saturday, say
ing such debate would be useless and

FLAVOR EXTRACTS
LOSE THEIR KICK
SUBSTITUTION OF GLYCERINE
FOR ALCOHOL MAKES. THE
THIRSTY ONES SAD.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Lemon and vanil-
la extracts are to be made kickless.
No longer will it be possible to get
around the eighteenth amendment
I by mixing a vanilla extract cocktail
and acquiring a perfumed jag. The
American Chemical Society, which is
holding its sixtieth annual conven-
ton at the Congress Hotel, has
found a way to remove this tempta-
ton.
DR.. M. De Grote, of the University
of Pittsburg, told about it in an ad-
dress today on "Glycerine substitute
for alcohol in flavoring extracts"
II hope I am not disappointing
any members of the society present"
said DR.. De Grote. when | observe
that by substituting glycerine for al
cohol, we get not only a better ex-
tract, but a cheaper one. | am fully
aware that since the passage of the
prohibition amendment many good
tipplers have sought inspiration in
the vanilla extract bottle. The high
percentage of alcohol contained in
flavoring extracts has made them a
convenient if dangerous substitute
for whisky While some will deplore
this discovery and possibly not APP
prove of the glycerine content, they
will have to yield to the advance of
chemical science"

IA BONDED WAREHOUSES
 REPORTED ORGANIZED


 Little Rock, Jan. 1.-Commissioner Jim G. Ferguson reports that IA bond ed warehouses have been organized by cooperative farmers associations at different points in the state during the year 1919, and that several others are in process of organization. These warehouses permit the storage of farm products and promise to solve one of the big problems of marketing crops, especially cotton. Inspections of the warehouses now in operation show all of them to be in thrifty condition. During the year licenses were granted to 1910 gins and tags were supplied for the Identification of each bale of cotton.

Railway Age Complies Industrial Statistics.-686 Miles Built and 689 Miles Abandoned Dur ing 1919.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Statistics com piled by the Railway Age show that the year 1920 begins with the deyel- opment of the railways of the United States nearer a complete standstiIl than at any other time since the first rail was laid in America.
 "In the year 1919," says the Rail- way Age, "the total mileage of new lines built in the United States was 686 miles, This is the smallest figure which has never been recorded by this paper. Furthermore, it does not rep resent net increase in mileage. During the year 689 miles of main line railway were abandoned for operation. Prior to the year 1915 the mileage of the country was steadily increasing, although the rate at which it was in- creasing had been diminishing for some years and especially since 1910O The available statistics indicate that since 1916 the mileage of line aban- doned has been substantially greater than the new mileage built.
 During the three years from 1917 to 1919, inclusive, our statistics indi- cate that operation was abandoned on 3,819 miles of line, while in the same period only 2,3S6 miles of ex- tensions, branch and other new lines were completed. Thus it appears that during the last three years there has been an actual decrease of 933 miles in the mileage of railroads op- erated.
 "The statistics regarding the num- bers of locomotives and cars ordered make some striking new records. Un- til this year the smallest number of freight cars ordered in any year since 1901 was 62,662, this being the num- Der ordered in 1901. In the year 1919 the number of freight cars ordered was only 21, 894, and nearly all these orders were placed by private car lines, as is shown by the fact that 12,- 895 of the total orders were for tank cars.

START CENSUS
 TAKING TODAY
Army of S5,OOO Enumerators

 Workers will sally forth with an especially prepared portfolio and a commission signed by Sam L. Rogers, chief of the bureau. The count is expected to show population of from TOT, 900, 900 to 112,OoO! 900, as compar- ed with 93,0O0,OOO in 1910. The es- timated population of July l, 1919 was 106, ,871 ,294.

Mothers Gratitude.

Somewhere in America there is a nurse from overseas who wears a short strand of small, round pink beads. She calls it her "Croix de Guerre." Just before Chateau-Thier- ry, when the refugees were pouring out of eastern France, young girl with big, dark eyes came with a sick baby to one of the hospitals behind the lines. During the first few weeks at the hospital the baby wl:impered and walled constantly, bul the nurses unremitting care II gradually grew well and strong.
 The day the little mother was leav- ing she sought out the nurse whose untiring patience and kindness had meant the return of her baby's health. ssThis, ma'm'selle." she said, holding a string of pink beads in her out stretched hand, ''I want you to have it; it is the only thing have left be sides my baby. and you have saved him for me"

PRESIDENT WILSON SIGNS M'NARY BILL
Continuing Sugar Equalization Board Through 192O.-Some Of Cuban Crop Has Already Been Purchased.

Washington, Jan. 1. President Wilson has signed the McNary bill, continuing the United States sugar equalization board through 1920. It was announced today at the White House that his signature had been attached before midnight last night.
 Secretary Humility, in making the announcement, issued this statement:
 HThe president has signed the sugar control bill. The bill confers discre- tion on the president in the matter of purchasing sugar from Cuba. It is doubtful whether it will be prac- ticable or wise for the president to exercise the power conferred, so far as the purchase and distribution of sugar are concerned"
 Some of the Cuban sugar has al- ready been purchased and there-is no control over sugar in Cuba as there was last year, and it might, therefore, be impossible for the government now to step in and purchase the sugar without increasing the price to the consumer. The bill, however, contin- ues the licensing power also and this power may be used to assist in controll- ing the profiteering among distribu- tors. Much Cuban sugar is coming in now and the indications are that prices have reached their peak and that there will be tendency for prices to fall in the next few weeks.

But the hint given of our intention to an- mex enabled our rivals to land and take possession three hours before we came to the scene. Thus we lost not only New Caledonia and the adjacent isles, but the Loyalty group and the New Hebrides; for it is an open secret that the throat of the impossible New Hebrides condominium will soon be cut and France will gather in this gem of the Pacific.
