(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.

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.
