MAKERS PAINTING
AUTOS WITH COTTON
NEW PROCESS SAID TO HAVE
ADVANTAGES NOT POSSESS
ED BY OTHER METHODS.

To the average motorist the idea OF
actually painting with cotton may
seem ridiculous Yet that is really be-
ing done in every large city in the
country today, and the surprising
thing about it is that the process is
being shown to have advantages pos
sessed by no other method,
The process referred to is the Duco
system of painting, and the principal
base of the enamels used is cotton
not in the form which we think Of
cotton, but the cotton fbers treated
with sulphuric and nitric acids in a
manner that in reality makes the fin
ished color enamels sort OF liquid
celluloid, which is sprayed onto the
automobile body with compressed air,
forming a coating that is almost indie
structible.
The finished job gives the appear
ance Of fine velvet surface, extreme
Nv tough and durable, and so hard
that it can be safely cleaned with a
dry cloth when covered with mud, as
we'll as even being unchanged by
contact with FIRE In addition to these
qualities the process possesses the
great advantage OF extreme speed, it
being possible to finish car in an in
credibly short space of time, as com
pared to the customary linseed oil
method OF painting.
The new process is being used as
standard by several of the best-known
cars, and the fact that it is sponsored
by one of the largest organizations in
the world gives confidence in its alb
solute stability. II may be that in the
not too far distant future we may be
able to take our cars to the paint shop
and get them back, newly finished
on the following Wednesday. Thus
does the automobile world move.

GEORGIAGRAPHS

Georgia has a most historlc
highway in the old Capital road"
from Savannah to Louisville
and then on to Milledgeville-
with branch roads leading to Au-
gusta and later to Atlanta, taking
in all the cities where the capital
has been located.
Georgia gained in white popula-
ton from 1860 to 1920 about one
million and one hundred thousand
people-the gain in colored popu-
lation in the same period was
slightly more than three-quarters
of one million.
Georgia's first Jewish congrega-
ton. Mickve Israel, still in -four
:snlng and vigorous condition,
was chartered by Gov Telfair on
Nov. 80, 1870.
Georgia's 534 state banking and
trust companies show fetal assets
of S312,450,000, an increase OF
S32,000,000 over the report Of year
before last.
Georgia made over four million
bushels of corn last year.

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food.
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, the
elirninative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
0When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
wears to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer are a source
Of irritation, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
lure, makes delightful effervescent
iithia- water drink and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make a mis-
take by having good kidney flushing
any time By all means have your ply
sician examine your kidneys at least
twice year.

NEW MYSTERY OF SEA;
A 3.MASTER DRIFTING
CAPTAIN OF PASSING SHIP
BOARDS DERELICT; FINDS
HALF-STARVED TERRIER.

What became OF the skipper and
the u men of the schooner Panviego,
the half-submerged hulk OF which was
found floating aimlessly about on the
ocean between San Francisco, Cal,
and Panama? The mystery OF the
Panviego is another of the long list
OF mysteries that those who go down
to the sea in ships tell about as they
are gathered below decks between
watches.
When the wandering hulk OF the
Panviego, a three master, was sighted
and boarded by crew from the Sat
suma. out of New York city for the
Orient. the men found only the ships
mascot aboard a half-starved fox ter
rier.
Mystery Added to Mystery.
This alone added mystery to mys-
terry, for it is one of the age-old SUI
perstitions of the sea that the ships
mascot like women and children, must
be rescued first when disaster looms
ahead. The fact that the dog was the
only living thing aboard the ship led
the men of the Satsuma to believe
that the skipper and his crew may
have been swept overheard by ter
rife storm.
A search Of the forecastle, however,
failed to bring forth the ships log.
Had the skipper been swept over
board he would not have had his log
with him.
1t was about dusk when the Sat-
suma sighted the drifting hulk OF the
Panviego. The latter was hailed, but
no answer came across the water. 1t
was also considered strange that the
three-master showed no lights The
skipper OF the Satsuma stood by for
the night, and at dawn ordered a
boarding party to set out in a small
boat for the Panviego.
The hold of the vessel was partly
filled with water The life-boats were
intact on their davits. Nothing could
be found that would shed any light
on the strange disappearance Of the
captain and the p men Of the schoon-
er.

unless potato fields are inspected be-
fore the potatoes are dug potato plants
cannot be sold during the following

The notice sent out is as follows:
If you expect to sell sweet potato

FRUIT ARRIVALS ARE
HEAVY; VALUES LOW
BUREAU OF ECONOMICS IS
SUES BULLETIN. LARGE
SHIPMENTS MOVING.

ATLANTA. Ga.-Heavier arrivals
and lower values marked the move
ment of twenty-five lines OF fruits and
vegetables at nearly all the large city
markets. il is shown by recent
market review issued by T. c. Curry,
OF the bureau of agricultural econom-
les.
With potato shipments showing a
fifty per cent increase, watermelons
90 per cent and the peach movement
three times greater than the weeks
before. the total volume of the prin-
cipal fruits and vegetables shipped
during one week increased sharply to
25.420 cars. Mr.. Curry stated. Jobbing
prices had to be cut in nearly all the
large city markets in order to move
the accumulating supplies.
Melon Prices Off.
Georgia watermelons, compared
with city wholesale prices a year ago.
are now about one-third to one-halt
less. ranging 5000 to $275 per carload
of q to 30-pound melons. Sharp de-
clines occurred as the weeks ship
ments from all states increased by
5000 cars to a total OF 1000. The
movement was more than twice as
heavy as during a corresponding pc
Rod last season, the report said. Geor-
gia's melon crop probably will exceed
$4,000 carloads this year, as against
5000 cars in 1923.
Peach prices declined until a low
point Of so cents crate and bushel
basket was reached for Georgia Car
mans in Cincinnati. Hileys lost as
much as $3.50 to $2.25 per crate, with
the prevailing range Sis to $275,
and top of So in New York. Arrivals
of all peaches in that city was seven
times as heavy as the week before.
The weeks total movement was over
5000 cars. Georgia's shipments trebled,
all but 131 Of the 5000 cars being
shipped from this state. The peach
crop probably will be 100000 bush
els greater than last year, the report
sets forth. Georgia alone will have g.
100000 more, and North Carolina's
crop may reach 100000 bushels after
an almost negligible quantity in 1928,
it is stated.
Potato Production Off 100000
Bushels.
The 1924 potato crop is estimated at
100000 bushels below the 1923 pro-
duction, and only ten million bushels
above the light crop of 1921 Ship
ments for the week were 200 cars
heavier, with Virginia and Kansas the
leading sources of supply. Virginia
gained 400 cars and Kansas shipped
nearly five times as many as the pre-
viouS week.

MUCH INTEREST CAUSED
BY BIG COTTON SHIPMENT

Train of One Hundred and Sixty-tlve
Carloads Handled by Seaboard.
One hundred and sixty-hve solid
carloads of fiat cotton have just been
handled by the Seaboard Air Line
in a single shipment, consigned by
one man to single firm. The ship
ment originated in Columbia, s. c.

The cotton was handled by the

the shipment is the largest and most
valuable ever handled by any south
