BABBITTS CONSOLIDATING
MEMS DEPARTMENTS

Babbitt Brothers are having a
special entrance cut through on the
south side of their store, on Aspen
avenue, to give direct access from the
street to the mems furnishing depart
ment. The mems shoes will then be
moved over beside the other mems
goods, leaving the ladies' shoes where
they now are. 1t has long been felt
that it is a disadvantage to have the
departments mixed, as they have been,
and that male customers will apprec-
late having mems furnishings all to-
gether in department by themselves,
and with special entrance.

TERRELL THE BANNER
UNDERWOOD COUNTY
GAVE ALABAMA STATESMAN
HIS LARGEST MAJORITY.
MADOO IS VICTOR.

In the Georgia presidential primary
w. G. McAdoo defeated Senator I'm
derwood by a large majority.
Mr.. McAdoo carried 122 counties
and Senator Underwood a. Official
returns received Friday took Schley
and Turner counties out of the Nc
Adoo column and gave them to Sena-
tor Underwood, while Houston coun-
tv switched from the Underwood col
umn to McAdoo
McAdoos popular vote was 9o04O
and Underwood's was $500. The to-
tai vote was only 149,95o
Many Counties Close.
The popular vote figures disclosed
that Underwood ran a much better
race than was indicated by the county
unit vote. In many OF the smaller
counties less than 200 votes were cast
in all and in most cases McAdoo LED
Underwood by a few votes and obtain
ed the county unit vote In other coun-
ties Underwood piled up large popular
vote majorities over his rival.
The country districts voted largely
for Underwood, the returns Indicated,
and McAdoo's largest totals came from
the larger cities in the counties of Full
ton, DeKalb, Bib, Floyd, Chatham
and Richmond. The rural vote was
small throughout the state, being less
than. 100 in some counties, and in a
great MANY others running all the
wav from $50 to 500 Less than one
half of the votes of the state were poll
ed. No election was held IN several
counties.
Terrell appears to have given IN
derwood the largest majority he re
ceived in any county-366. Taylor
county came next with $50, and Bald

ties" gave the Albanian majority
of 1928 Every precinct in Terrell gave
the Albanian majority.
McAdoo Gets Them All.
According to the rules of the state
democratic executive committee there
will be no Underwood delegates in
the state convention, as the McAdoo
leaders will appoint McAdoo delegates
in all counties, even those which cast
their vote for Underwood. The state
DELEGATION to the national democratic
convention will be named at the state
convention. The delegation will con-
sist of % delegates and % alternatess,
and these will be selected by the lead
ers of the McAdoo campaign and their
selections will be ratified by the state
convention.
Bv winning $40 convention votes
McAdoo, under the rules of the COM
mittee won the right to appoint all
the delegates to the convention, hence
he will have 412 supporters in the con-
vention when it convenes in Atlanta
April %. The delegation to the nation
al convention will be instructed Tor

The Bottom of the Sea Is
Dark and as Cold as Ice
At 1000 Fathoms Thermometer Is
Constantly at SIS Degrees.

~~NNN-~--~-S
The bottom of the deep sea is, in
deed, entirely screened from the
warmth and light OF the sun by the
intervening mass of water. On land
we often experience that the interview
ton of clouds, which are simply steam
or divided masses of water, results in
gloom and a fall of temperature. This
effect is infinitely more intense at the
bottom OF the ocean, between which
and the sun there is interposed, not
only for day or two, layer OF cloud,
but forever a volume of water, often
several miles thick.
Even at fifteen fathoms from the
surface the light is much subdued,
producing more the appearance OF
pale moonlight than of sunlight, and
experiments made with very sensitive
Photographic plates i'll the clear water
OF the Lake of Geneva have shown
that sunlight does not penetrate to a
greater depth there than one hundred
and hftv-hve fathoms. In the ocean
and in the tropics, where sunshine is
most intense, no light penetrates be-
yond a depth of two hundred fathoms.
Below this all is dark.
Suns Heat Cut Off.
The suns heat, like the light, is also
cut off from the ocean depths in the
same manner. In the Bay OF Gengal
there is a fall of temperature amount
ing to about one degree Fahrenheit
for every ten fathoms from the sur
face that the thermometer sinks. At
two hundred fathoms the thermometer
stands all the year round at SIS degrees
Fahrenheit, and at two thousand faith
oms it constantly registers about IS
degrees Fahrenheit, or close upon
freezing point 1t is curious to note
that as we rise in. the air, i'll balloons
or on mountain slopes, the tempera-
ture falls as we rise, and the same
occurs as we dive into the depths OF
the ocean. But in mines the heat in
creases as we descend.
Scientists believe that this subterra-
mean heat will furnish power when
coal and oil are gone.

Motor Vehicles Pay
Huge Sum in Taxes
Over Fifteen Million Cars Were Reg
istered Last Year in This Country.

On December 81, 1928, there were
15,092,177 motor vehicles in use in the
United States, according to statistics
collected by the bureau OF public roads
of the United States department. Dur
ing the past year the number register
ed increased by 2,853,802 vehicles, a
greater increase than in any preceding
year.
This increase which is $4,000 reg
istrations greater than the gain in any
other year means that the public de-
mand for road improvement already
strong will be strengthened, and a
move general use of the road, particu-
larly in a business and commercial
way, will result. AS indicative of the
commercial trend, motor truck regis
trations now total over one and one
half million.
Gross receipts from registration fees
together with the licenses of drivers,
chauHeurs, etc, amounted to $l88,90O,-
600 or % times the amount derived
from this source in 1913. During the
same period motor vehicle registra-
tons have increased twelve times.
In IS states a gasoline tax ranging
from one to four cents per gallon is
imposed. Revenue from this source,
amounting to $36,300,0O0, is spent
largely for highway purposes. This
revenue will be materially increased i'll
1924 since in many states such taxes
nave been in effect only few months.
Motor vehicle registrations, revenue
and gasoline taxes in the state OF
Georgia for the year 1923 was as fol
lows:
Total registration cars and motor
trucks, 1889; receipts from registra-
ton fees, licenses and permits, ST.
156, 40608; receipts from gasoline tax,
1,502, 503.4', according to reports.

Senator Ralston will be the nomi-
nee Of the convention" Mr.. Great

He is the one man upon whom all FAC

must do if the. party is to win the
election" co-
Mr.. Greatf1ouse added that Senator
Ralston had the confidence OF both
labor and business, and as governor
had given Indiana the best admins
tration it had had in years: The IN
diana delegation will be solid Tor Sen,

necessary, and Senator Ralston has
refused to permit campaign to De
made for him."
When asked whether Senator Raj
ston's age, 90 years, might not be
against his selection, Mr.. GreatnoISe
said Senator Ralston was physically
and mentally fit and actually, much
Younger than his years. He declined
TO speculate upon nominee Tor wee

CLARK HOWELL is
NOW FACING A FIGHT
MAJOR COHEN AND T. ]. HAM
ILTON SEEK TO GUST DEM
OCRATIC COMMITTEEMAN.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Instead OF being
a love feast with 412 McAdoo dele
gates slapping each other on the back
and chuckling happily over a merry
jest the state convention to be held IN
Atlanta April Is promises to- become
largely factional in character with a
sharp division in the McAdoo ranks
caused by a scramble for the honorary
but unremunerative position of nation
al democratic committeeman from
Georgia, now held by Clark Howell,
editor and general manager of the At
lanta Constitution, according to re-
ports that trickled out from a confer
ence of the McAdoo leaders held in
Atlanta Saturday.
Two Other Aspirants.
According to the reports which
oozed out OF the conference and which
were pronounced authentic by several
leaders who are unquestionably IN the
conference of the powers that be" in
the McAdoo campaign, two other ed
itors are not at all averse to sitting in
the national council of the democratic
party in the seat which has been oc-
cuped for the past 20 years by Mr..
Howell The other editors. are said to
be Major John S. Cohen, president
and editor of the Atlanta Journal, and
T. ]. Hamilton editor of the Augusta
Chronicle, who directed the McAdoo
campaign.
And with the situation standing as
it is some of the McAdoo leaders say
that McAdoo himself will have TO in
dictate his choice to the state conven-
ton to settle the matter.
With friends OF the three editors
coming as delegates the session Of
April Is will not be the plain cut and
dried affair that many expected it to
be.
