FIRE INSURANCEi ; IF YOU HAVE COUNTRY PROPERTY TO INSURE SEE THE FLORENCE COUNTY FARMERS MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO. (Atlanta Constitution.! With approximately a quater of i million bales of off-grade cotton it Jhe hands of Georgia farmers begg n) for a market, there :s a veritable cot ton famine in Europe. The mill there are clamoring to rcototn. eage and anxious for any grade of cottoi obtainable, and the demand is sticb that they would be willing to pay well for our Interior grade product if they could get it. For this cond Non the blame lies a' the door of the virtually stagnan “poison squad” that was responsibb for the peace treaty having beer bung up in the United States senate for nearly a year and then rejected. Had the treaty been ratified with reasonable promptness, Europe wmiV have been stabilized commercially and would today be in position t avail itself of everv pound of our sur plus cotton regardless of grade—for which there is extreme demand or the part of the people over there. Forty and forty-two cents a pouni' for cotton sounds good; but to offset the effect of those prices, which ap ply to first-grade cotton only, we are confronted with the fact that between one-seventh and one-eighth of the cotton crop of Georgia is still in the hands of the small producers who can not get for it the cost f raising it because Europe cannot buy it and the American spinners do not need It. If the treaty had not been obstruct ed and hung up and scuttled by the hell bent “poison squad” of the sen ate. that low-grade cotton would now be in equal demand, at proportionate prices, with the better grade of pro duct that is now in such high demand bv American mills. The holders of Georgias 2ti.000 bale; of drug-on-the-market cotton, who. fir the most part, are small producers have little, indeed, fr which to thank the administration-haters of the Unit ed States senate who block ad ratifi cation of the peace treaty. Specie.*! Session To Act On Suffragf Raleigh. N. C.. April 28.—Action ol the Democratic slate convention re cently in adopting a platform p'anl for ratification of the woman suffrage amendment will be followed by a spe dal session of the legislature about July 1. Louisiana is the only state to have a session before North Carolina bul suffrage leaders say no matter what action Is taken in Louisiana it w 11 have no effect on the tight for rati fication in North Carolina. If Louisiana were to act favorably it would make the 26th state hut or account of some uncertainty over the ratification in Ohio legislature, be cause of a n-ferendum involved, suf frage advocates are anxious to have 37 states ratify the amendment. Opinion is divided here as to what action the North Carolina legislature will take. In view of the fact that both pollt cal organiflations in the state have adopted platforms includ ing planks favoring suffrage, many party leaders believe the amendment will be ratified! Resides Governor Bk-kett, many Democratalc party lead ers in the state have come out foi life amendment, including Secretary Daniels, Seantor Simmons and Con gressman Hoey. The legislature is uverwhelmingly Democratic. Opponents of suftrage believe the amendment will either he defeated in the legislature or by the voters of the state. They think the legislature will follow Senator Overman's idea and propose a state constitutional amendment giving women the vote, thus putting the suffrage question up to the voters, who, they believe, will reject it. Comparison Shows Great Increases New Lork. April 28.—A month's boycott of candy, soda water and pis try was advocated by Edwin J. UMalley, city commissioner of public markets, to relieve the sugar short- .e and bring down prices, lie said lack of sugar for home con sumption was due primarily to euor ous consumption by manufacturers, vho had obt.iined control of the sup- >!y. A boycott, he contended, would nake them release part of their hold ings for public purchase. To show alleged profits In candy he quoted a circular sent out by a eoi •oration that is selling stock.

Lynch Co Tested Eighteen Months f ^ to Prove Perfection T wo years ago a puncture-proof cord tire was unheard of. The public clamored for it; all tire makers tried to build it. Lee was making the only successful punc ture-proof pneumatic fabric tire. Motorists naturally looked to Lee for a puncturc-proof cord. I,cr has succeeded in building such a tire. It has all the economy and resiliency of the best coni tires. It practically eliminates blowouts, tread separation, broken sidewalls and other common tire troubles. And it is positively punc ture-proof. For 13 months this tire was cruelly tested before bein'- offered to the public. It rode as lightly and as smoothly as a cord without the puncture-proof- feature, ft was as economical on fuel and oil. It was easier on tubes. And— it outlasted cord tires that acre not puncturc- proof! Let us demonstrate the economy of tho new ^cc Cord Puncturc-Proof. TTu J&e East Florence Service Station COR.
