DANGEROUS NEW DRUG.

COLUMBUS, August 26.-Re-

laid before the convention of the

ton in Buffalo next week by Pro

SUMTER MAY LEAD
GEORGIA COUNTIES
Forecast of Co-Crop Service In
dictates Banner Cotton Pro-
duction Attained Here

An "old-time" cotton crop is
forecast by the Georgia Corpora
tive Crop Service in its semi-mOnth-
" report just released. From the
present outlook the crop will be
about double that produced last
wear. The difficulty in 1923 was in
telling how small the crop would be,
saw the statisticians. This year the
difficulty is in telling just how high
Georgia figures will run.
A large proportion of the crop
is probably safe and picking has
started in the lower third of the
state. Boil weevils are becoming
quite active in Southern Georgia,
but in that section the crop is too
far advanced for them to do dam
age at all comparable with that of
past years. Quite a number Of
counties failed to receive rain dur
ing the past fortnight and the out
look has been reduced on this ac-
count. This is particularly true of
scattered counties in North Geor-
gia.
Burke, Carroll, Sumter and Lau-
rens counties promise to make
close race for first place. Core
spendent in each of these counties
have fixed their idea of the crop
around $4,000 bales. Until a week
ago the race seemed to be between
Sumter and Burke. Now the odds
seem to favor Carroll. In the next
group are Madison, Franklin, Hall,
podge, Terrell and Emanuel,
which are expecting to make from
$4,000 to 10000 bales.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the report is that a great
many counties in South Georgia ex-
pect to make from two to five times
as much cotton as they did last sea-
son. This is the area where the
crop was almost failure last year.
In North-Central Georgia similar
situation is indicated in counties
such as Hancock, Morgan, Greene,
etc Here the weevil practically
put cotton growers out of business
several years. The outlook is for
four or five times as much cotton
as has been produced in those Sec
tons in the last year or two.
The forecast is based on a con-
dition of 70 per cent and an indi-
Gated yield of about $50 pounds
of lint cotton per acre. It will
vary from that amount as condi-
tons are better or worse than av-
erage after that date.

DRY FORCES OPPOSE
PROHIBITION PROBE
Wayne B. Wheeler Quoted AS
Saying All Investigations
Proposed to Discredit Drys

WASHINGTON, August 26.-
Whether to be gratified or other
wise at news that the British gov
eminent is soon to send a commits
sion to the United States to investi-
gate prohibitions working is a ques-
ton dry headquarters in Washing
ton has not decided yet.
The dry organization mas opposed
an investigation at home thus lar
steadfastly. General Counsel Wayne
3. Wheeler of the Anti-SaloOn
League does not fear the truth, he
has said repeatedly, but it has been
his contention that all the investiga-
ton proposals heretofore have been
made by the vets, with view, nor
to helping prohibition, but to dis
crediting it.
The contemplated English investi-
cation, however, is at least disinter
ested. If anything, the present Mac
Donald administration is regarded as
inclining little to the dry side. The
very fact that an inquiry is planned
suggest some idea of adopting the
system in Britain, if it appears to be
giving satisfactory results in the
United States.
At any rate, coming from such a
source, request for an opportunity
to investigate obviously cannot be
fought. Indeed, it can only be well
coined. BY no possible mean can it
be resisted, anyway, except by re-
fusing the Investigators admittance
to the country, which of course is
not to be thought of.
Nevertheless, the drys are not
blind to the fact that the vets are
bound to try to give the investiga-
tors a bad impression nor are they
unsophisticated enough not to know
that it will be easy to do this, unless
the visitors are surrounded con-
stantly by an army of enforcement
agents-which would be so obvious
as to impress them unfavorably.

CITY PLANS TO SOLVE
DRY LAW PROBLEM
Experiment in Municipal Prohibi-
tion Enforcement Is Proposed
in Watertown, N. Y.
BY the Associate Press.

By the Associat ted Press.
WATERTOWN, n. Y, November
25.-The problematical outcome of an
experiment in municipal prohibition
enforcement, represented by this
city's new dry enforcement ordinance
unanimously adopted by the Common
Council last night, was being dis
cussed here today.
When the measure goes into effect
on January l it will give Watertown,
according to Corporation Counsel F..
X. Purcell, who drafted the statute,
law in many ways more drastic than
the Mullan-Gage State enforcement
act, repealed two years ago.
Watertown officials indicated today
that they believed a precedent had
been established by passage of the
ordinance and that many other mu-
their example.
Authority of the municipal home
rule act passed at the last session
Of the Legislature was invoked, ac-
cording to Mr.. Purcell, in the passage
Of the ordinance.
The ordinance provides that drug
gists' liquor prescription records
must be kept in boxes to which the
city manager and the chief of police
have keys
For illegal manufacture, sale or
transportation Of liquor a city judge
may impose $500 fine or six
months Jail sentence. Double jeopar-

those writings

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, November 25.
Hollywood, capital of filmdom, was
straining it's ears today for a far-ofr
tinkle of wedding bells at Empalme,
500 miles down the Mexican coast
from here, where Charlie Chaplin was
expected to marry his leading woman,
Lita Grey, at or before high noon.
Though word from Guaymas, near
Empalme, was that a marriage IL
cense was ready and all details of
the ceremony arranged. including the
reservation of a honeymoon state
room aboard a steamer leaving
GuaymaS for a port in the state of
Nayarit, another 500 miles down thu
coast, skeptical Hollywood did not
conceal its unwillingness to accept
reported plans as an accurate fore
cast of today's Chaplin prograp~
Other Rumors UnfuIfIIed.
Many and apparently well authenG-
Gated reports that Charles Spences
Chaplin, divorced by Mildred Harr1s
Chaplin in 1920, was about to wed
predictions. Students of filmdom's
complicated engagement archives
pointed to the long list of actresses
whose names at one time or another
have been coupled with that of the
custard pie comedian as "bride-to-
be-" only to be eliminated by later
developments.
Hollywood history teaches, these
critics proclaim. that it will be time
enough to congratulate Chaplin when
Mexican official records show that the
wedding has taken place.
Meanwhile Guaymas dispatches re-
lated that Chaplin and Miss Grey
would have been married a month
ago were it not for a Mexican law re-
curing publication of intention to
marry at least IS days before the
wedding. Miss Grey and Chaplin's
secretary, awaiting the comedians
arrival from Los Angeles, were said
to be considerably agitated because
news of the wedding plans had leaked
north and over the Mexican boundary,
and Miss Grey was quoted as saying
the ceremony might, after all, be
postponed.
