AMERICUSLAD'S
SONCPUBL.ISHED
"Those Cotton Blues" BY Ralston
Cargill, Jr., Makes Its APP
pearance On Music Counters

The Times-Recorder has received a
copy of "Those Cotton Blues" a
song just published, the words and
music written by Ralston Cargill, Jr.,
of Americus, which is being put out
through Jack Mills, Inc, of New
York, music selling agents. The
song, which is now on sale in Ameri-
Gus at Thos. L. Bells jewelry store,
promises wide popularity, especially
in the South where its sentiments hit
sympathetic chord. The words fol
low;
There is man who used to grow cot
ton, and
The man who tries it today
One time a crop can be gotten,
But now it's disaster to pay
A little bug is the cause, so they
Just another add to your list
For the rest the toll of the weevil
Once a cotton plant is kissed.
NCHOi Us
I've got those mean cotton blues
Sweetie, listen to sad news
Shirts and collars now cost more dol
lars,
I'm ragged from my hat down to my
shoes.
Here's what | call naked fact:
Boil weevil sscamping hard upon my
track.
When the weeviPs on the boil
That means there'll be nothing sold.
I've got those cotton blues.
Into Dixie land an army has marched
The fields of white are its camp.
."0ld King Cotton" is being watched
By a deadly cotton vamp.
To sing a little song about all of
your troubles
Here is one that will head the list
It's worse than plaques and the South
Sea bubbles,
must tell you | can't resist. (cho)

MEMORIAL DEDICATED
IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
Grant memorial, dedicated here to-
day, is one of the largest groups of
statuary in the world. The eques-
trian portion of it is said to be ex-
eeeded in height only by the statue
of Victor Emanuel in Rome. Fifteen
years have been required to bring it
to virtual completion.
The entire memorial which with to-
days dedicatory ceremonies takes its
place in the national capital with the
soon-to-be dedicated Lincoln memor-
ial and the great monument which
has stood for half a century as
memorial to Washington, is beauti-
work of art. Occupying a position
of prominence at the east end of the
Botanical Gardens facing the capitol
grounds it has been approved by Au-
gustus Saint Gaudens, Charles F. Nc
Kim, Daniel C. French and other
prominent American artists.
The marble superstructure on
which the various groups stand is
262 feet long, 60 feet deep and five
feet above the ground. An eques-
trian statue of Grant stands on a
high central pedestal at the west side
facing the Washington Monument
and Lincoln memorial at the other
end Of the Mall. Lower pedestals at
the north and south ends support mas
sive groups Of cavalry and artillery,
respectively. The infantry arm is to
be presented by bronze bas-reli9fs
to be placed on the side of the main
pe6estal-this being the only part
not completed.
Before the final memorial was COM
pleted or contracted for, 27 designs
were submitted and the award final
ly was given to Henry w. Shrady, who
died few weeks ago, and Edward
Pierce Casey, architect, of New
York. The erection of the statue was
authorized by congress 21 years ago,
but various causes contributed to the
delay in the completion of the mem
orial. Chief of these was the strong
opposition to the erection in the Bot
anic Gardens on the ground that the
site was on the axis between the cap

WOMEN AGAINST
RADIO IN HOOSIER
SENATE CONTEST
Harry New Forgot Ladies In
Laying Plans And Beveridge
Seized Advantage

INDIANAPOLIS, April 27-When
Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana,
first launched his campaign to sue
ceed himself in the upper house of
the national Legislature he counted
on waging his fight, to a considerable
extent through speeches broadcast by
radio telephone.
His friends did not deem an organ
ization of women voters desirable in
support of his candidacy.
They have changed their minds.
Or rather, ex-senator Albert J. Bev-
eridge, who seeks to go back to
Washington in Senator News
place, changed their minds fo rthem.
Beveridge went, first and fore
most, after women's votes. He spoke
and lectured through indiana, and
for the most part in churches. Frank
ly he sought to enlist women eapec-
tally in his cause.
After about month of this, Sena-
tor News friends acknowledged
that their candidates women sup
porters must be brought more ac-
lively into the contest.
The result is that much of the
mos reflective campaigning, as be-
tween New and Beveridge, is being
done by women, and there are more
women speakers in the field than
men.
New has not given up his fight by
radio. Several of the halls where
he has spoken or is to speak, are
fitted with radio telephones and the
senator hopes, in particular, to
reach thousands of farmers by this
means. Nevertheless, the impor-
tance of the appeal to women is
fully recognized.
Two such practical politicians as
Senator Watson, Republican, and
Thomas Taggart, Democratic leader
in Indiana, say they think New will
be nominated, and Watson adds
that the Republican nomination is
equivalent to election, as he consid-
ers the Democratic party in the state
greatly demoraiized" The Demo-
Gratis take a different view. Their
version is that the New-Beveridge
rivalry has developed considerable
bitterness, which they predict will
divide the Republican party into fac
tions, whereas they say their own
contest is friendly, though they
have five candidates for nomination
in the field.
The Democratic aspirants are ex-
Governor Samuel M. Ralston, who,
the press in general seems to con-
slider, is likely to get the nomina-
ton; State Senator B. B. Shively, a
relative of ex-Vice President Mar
shall; Daniel w. Simms, DR.. jesse
Sanders and Charles Howard.
The test will come on May 2,
when the Indiana primaries will be
held. 1t will be the first test of the
kind, of national interest, anticipa-
tory Of the next election.

clearing for the site. 1t was not un-
til May, 1908, that the contractors
were able to resume work. The orig
inal contract called for the completion
of the memorial within period of
five years, but it became necessary to
extend that limit several times. The
cost of the memorial is estimated at
about $300,O00.

he probably will.


What the French will do is prob
lematical, but under the pressure of
millions of peasants holding me-war
bonds and the danger of breaking
with the British, it is hard to see
how the Poincare government can
live if it refuses to follow suit.
From the French point of view
and the point of view of those who
know the great sacrifices France
made in the war-her position seems
unjust. But, after all, 38,000,00O
Frenchmen cannot dictate the des-
