 It is proposed to let the voters know tfe advantages of the ratification or the amendment, and, after doing so, to permit them to determine for them selves whether or not they are willing to grant local option to the various counties in the construction of roads connecting with the state highways ! which will be constructed by the state ard federal governments.

Will Ask for Heavy Duty
 On All Imported Oil

Montgomery. August 13.-(Spacial) Southern congressman and senators will be asked by Miles c. Allgood, Ala hama commissioner of agriculture, 10 favor the enactment of legislation re- ouiring the payment of heavy duty on imported oils, which have resulted III the low prices paid for peanuts in the south. MT. Allgood is lining up the various state delegations and Will fur- ther discuss the matter with commls- sioners of agriculture at meeting III Memphis on August 20
 At the Memphis meeting the commls- sioners also will discuss the report that cotton seed buyers have asrt.d on the exceedingly low price of thirty dollars per ton for the 1920 crop. MT Allgood claims this will be far below inc actual cost of production.
 Returning from Albany, Ga Friday where he attended meeting of the Georgia Division of the National Pea mt Growers Association Mir. Allgood said he placed the peanut matter be- fore several growers, who favored drastic means of holding down the in, portation of oriental oils which take the place of peanut oils. Twelve cents was paid last year for peanuts. The proposed cents will not pay the pro duction cost it is claimed.
 MT. Allgood is receiving messages from southern commissioners who have agreed to meet with him in Memphis to discuss the peanut and cotton seed matters. Importation of foreign oils has resulted in the bottom falling out of the price of oils made from southern products.

MOTOR ALCOHOL" TO DISPIACE
GASOLINE IN HAWAII

Hail to lowly and sticky molasses!
From it is being produced "motor
alcohor'-a substitute for gasoline
s. Discovered by ]. p. Foster, chemist
of one of the big sugar plantations on
the island of Maui, Hawaii, produc-
tion within the next three months
will be sufficient to furnish fuel for
all cars on the islands should n gaso-
line shortage occur.
According to the first reports of the
new fuel brought to San Francisco by
District Manager f. E. Carroll. of
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany of California. motor alcohol"
gives more power. greater mileage,
easier starting and more freedom
from carbon than gasoline. 1t can be
used without an adjustment of the
carburetor.
The new fuel is performing in auto
mobile. marine, stationery, truck and
tractor engines. In SO hour test
made with a rs horsepower tractor
the consumption of motor alcohol
was four gallons an hour compared
to four and a half gallons of gaso-
line In the sa' engine on the same
work. Examination of the cylinders
showed most of the old carbon de-
posit removed and the remainder so
soft 1t could be removed with the
fingers.
Sugar plantations have been letting
their molasses run to waste or burn
ing it for the potash recovery Nitro
gen and phosphoric acid arc also
valuable. by-products of molasscs.
Now, however. production of the new
fuel Is found to be more profitable
than obtaining other by-products.
At present there is enough molasses
available to produce 100000 gallons
of motor acknowledgements to supply
all automobiles in Hawaii. Develop
ment Of this industry will release ship
ping space formerly used for trans
porting gasoline from the United
States.
