would pause only long enough to
reprovision before putting out again
The provisioning, however, was
completed in five hours.
At $50 pm, approximately eleven
hours after her arrival, the Maiotis

Threatened With Arrest.
Steam was kept up and it was
assumed the ship would resume its
wanderings in search of haven, after
coal, water and food supplies had been
taken aboard There were repeated
warnings that insult would be arrested
if he should land here.
insult remained asleep in his cabin
and had not seen Istanbul's famous
skyline, domes and minarets.
The captain told harbor authorities
his ship would leave this afternoon

The independent Offices appropria-

today after a stormy legislative battle
extending over the past two months.
The final step was taken when the

They fostered it through their methods of solici-

The picture is entirely different today. Sue

How To Enter The Campai& &n

faster way to get votes is by securing new and
renewal subscriptions to The Gazette. On each
subscription turned in certain number OF votes
is given, varying according to amount paid and
during which period same received at the
campaign department. See schedule of votes
elsewhere So you see the more subscriptions
you can get the better your chances are to win
one of these capital prizes
EARLY START MEANS EASY FINISH
The advantages of an early start are mani
fest. Not only do you have FULL TINE in
which to secure the winning votes, but now and
up to and including August 6 you will receive
Then, too the first in the field will undoubtedly
get the "cream" of the votes and subscriptions,
while those who put off entering until later
date will have to take what is left.
Don't waste valuable time waiting to "see
what the other fellow is going to do" but pitch
right in and show the ''other fellow" how to do
it.
ADVISORY BOARD
1t is the sincere aim of this newspaper to
conduct the election, from the start to finish, in
q fair honorable and impartial manner. Every
precaution has been taken to safeguard the in
terests of the participants, and absolute honesty
in all dealings is guaranteed. However, not all
wisdom lies with one man or institution and for
that reason an Advisory Board has been decided
upon whose functions shall be to decide any
question of sufficient moment that might happen
to arise during the competition and from which
a committee shall be selected to act judges
and count the votes the last night OF the elec-
ion. Their names will be published in the next
edition of The Gazette.
Every active participant in The Gazette
campaign receives either cash award or one OF

WHERE CIRCULATION COUNTS

That is where newspapers paid circulation
enters the scene of activity. If the paper enters
S75 homes regularly its advertising columns are
approximately third as valuable they
would be if it entered $500 homes each week
In this connection we can truthfully add that
newspapers popularity and the measure of con-
fidence that the public has in it be judged
safely by the number of regular readers it has,
That is a generally accepted fact among adver-
tising men and large buyers of advertising space.

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH IN DANGER

situation is developing that viii aHect the
future of the South to so great degree that II
demands the consideration of our citizens An loea
seems to have taken possession of those VINO oroer
our national policies that the cotton ana TOBACCO
production of the South must be tremendously re-
duced IN order to increase prices and improve 'he
position of the southern farmer.
We cannot overlook the fact that such a pro-
gram may carry with it great danger to the SOUTH
We ali know that the chief financial crop OF the
South is cotton About half of the cotton crop Is
sold in foreign countries. 1t goes to the export
market and is the largest single crop exported.
When the South reduces its cotton crop the
situation will be taken advantage of by foreign
countries and they will Immediately increase their
cotton acreage and capture the export market
which the South has held so long. This has already
happened.
The foreign acreage is increasing in all cotton
producing countries. The Manufacturers Record
tells us that it has already increased from u to
a million acres 1t takes years to build up mar
kets and it takes persistence to hold markets; and
when markets are lost it is very difficult to win
them back
In the discussion of reducing our acreage to ad-
just production to the needs of the United States
United States is net importer of agricultural
products. We import more agricultural products
than We export. We import coffee, tea, rubber,
silk sugar and many other items in such quaint
ties that for the last eight years our imports OF
agricultural products have been greater than our
exports
The throwing away of our foreign markets that
thousands of men will be thrown out of work on
southern farms and thousands of men, women and
children will not know where to look for a living.
1t is not possible that such a tremendous change
should be made in the economy of the South with
out the gravest dangers.
The southern farmer cannot afford to lose his
foreign market for cotton and tobacco. Tobacco
is in much the same category as cotton. About
one-third of the tobacco grown in the United
States is exported
The sol>thern farmer must have the right to eX-
change his Iotton and tobacco for the agricultural
products IKE tea and coffee and rubber which
necessary to the civilization of the United States.
The South must not rush hastily into program,

responsibility as collegians going out into work

generation; and then, especially at this time, to
undertake appraisal of real values in the expert

in the experiments should be preserved, said DR..
Few; but he warned these young men and young
women that there is need now, as always to guari
against the growth of governmental authority at
the expense of liberty.
1t is warning that always should be kept in
mind by the people of even country as free as
ours 1t is the warning that Senator Bailey and
others have sounded in protest against such legis-
lation the Bankhead compulsory control of cot
ton.
But for the present, for good or i'll, the nation

possible political bondage. Is the explanation to

THE FIRST YELLOW JOURNALIST

Few would suspect mild-mannered Benjamin
Franklin of perpetuating any sort of hoax on the
readers of his famous afmanack, but as a matter
of fact Journalistic history records him as one of
the first editors of American publication t.
cOncoct scare yarn for popular consumption
In 1876 he printed "enigmatical prophecy
that many of Americas greatest cities soon would
be under water, that power with which the eoun-
try was not at war would take great numbers of
vessels fully laden out of our seaports, and that
an army of musketeers would land in this country
to annoy the inhabitants
Unlike present day canards, the readers had to
wait an entire year for the followup story on this
astounding prophecy
The explanation included in the next alranack
revealed that the water was that of the sea and
