PLAN TO ROUT THE
BILLION DOLLAR BUG
COTTON CONVENTION WILL
BE HELD IN AUGUSTA IN
EARLY DECEMBER.

ATLANTA. Ga.-A cotton conven-
ton, bringing together cotton men,
cotton manufacturers, business men,
bankers and farmers of Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Alaba-
ma probably will be held at Augusta

called for the purpose OF starting a
movement to restore cotton produc-
ton in the Atlantic states to normal.
Through proper poisoning methods 1t
is planned to put the boil weevil,
known as the billion-dollar bug, to
rout
In the opinion of cotton men who
have experimental in cotton culture
this year the south will be able to re-
turn to a normal production of cotton
next year if proper poisoning methods
are used. By doing this the south, &C
cording to cotton men, will be able
TO do in one year or little more what,
under present methods OF cotton cul-
ture it will probably take five years
or more.
Ferdinand Phinizy, chairman of the
executive committee OF the Augusta
cotton exchange, has charge OF all de
tails of the coming convention, the
date for which will be announced very
soon.
Atlanta. which will send big dele
cation to the Augusta convention, has
always been recognized as one OF the
best cotton markets in the south.
Some of the largest cotton merchants
in the business have made Atlanta
their headquarters for many years and
all of the principal cotton merchants
OF the country maintain Offices in At
lanta, thus insuring a ready and stable
market Tor all grades OF cotton at all
seasons OF the year.

BIG CAR SHORTAGE;
PROSPERITY BLAMED
UNPRECEDENTED DEM AND,
AND RAIL EXECUTIVES FACE
BREAKDOWN OF SYSTEMS.

The nations transportation system
is threatened with a breakdown as a
result of unprecedented activity in the
commercial world. Railroad executives.
representing eastern and western rail
roads, meeting in Washington for a
conference, were confronted with re-
ports showing that all records in car
loading of every kind of freight are
being broken. The previous high point
in railway transportation was in Oc-
tober, 1920.
Government officials, welcoming
the return of prosperity, are startled
by the unheard of tide of freight Of
ferings, which is offset by an equally
constant increase in the shortage of
box cars and other equipment,
Railroad executives are aghast at
the food OF business in which they
are in danger OF being engulfed and
are utterly at loss how to meet the
situation. Since the tide of freight is
increasing daily it may be necessary
to apply new and more drastic en-
bargoes upon non-essential freight.
Government and railroad agencies
acknowledge the coal loadings are
adding to the unprecedented burden
of the roads, but general freight load
ings are swelling the total. The situa-
ton is made the more alarming be-
cause the peak load period is rapidly
approaching with the necessity Of
handling the western crops.

HARDWICk CALLS
w. ]. HARRIS A LIAR
FELICITATES GEORGE, AND
BITTERLY DENOUNCES THE
SENIOR SENATOR.

Governor Hardwick in a post-elec-
ton statement denounced Senator w.
7. Harris as a coward and liar,
and announced that he was ready to
give him any satisfaction which the
latter might desire 'or have the cour-
age to demand"
Governor Hardwick congratulated
Judge George on his election to the
senatorship made vacant by the death
of Senator Watson and announced his
purpose to edit and publish a state
wide paper devoted to the public IN
terest. His statement was as follows:
although the vote was small the
election was fair, and | bow i'll good
humor and serenity to the result.
Il have dispatched to Judge George
a telegram conveying my congratula-
tions and best wishes. He is a gentle
man and has. conducted a clean cam
paign. | only hope that high public
RESPONSIBILITY may give him more for
titude of character and stability OF
conviction than he has exhibited dur
ing the campaign.
"As for Senator Harris, he is dis
GRACE to the state. His statement on
election dav, filled with slanderous
personal attacks on me, made at a
time when he knew | had no possible
chance to reply, stamps him as a cow
ard as well as a liar, and as such l
denounCe him. and fOr that denuncla-
ton | am ready to give him any sat
isfaction he desires and has the cour-
age to demand.
Will Publish a Paper.
"At the conclusion of my term as
governor | shall return to the prac-
tice of my profession, the law.
1T is also my purpose to edit and
publish, beginning at an early date,
statewide weekly, which shall be an
organ of public opinion, devoted to
the public service, and dedicated to
the public interest. 1t will be known
as The Georgia Cracker, and Will be
published at Atlanta.
ITO my friends throughout Georgia
who fought so hard for the principles
at stake, and for me, | return the
thanks of a deeply and profoundly
grateful heart. Words are too poor tor
me to try to tell them how much |
love them and how deeply grateful 1
am to them. | can, in CONCLUSION, say
TO them and to the public, the night
has just begun"
The telegram sent by the governor
to Judge George was as follows:
Il extend my sincere personal con-
eratulations, and wish for you dis
tinguished and useful career in the
senate"
Harris Makes Rejoinder..
Senator Harris made the following
reply to Governor Hardwick;
pronunciation is no new thing for
Hardwick." said Senator Harris He
denounced President Wilson in time
of war. he denounced Senator Wat
son in language unfit to print. His de-
nunciations have not had much weight
in the past, and have none at all now.
The best answer to Hardwick was
furnished by the people at the ballot
box Tuesday"
