the Grady hospital In an apparently
dying condition In an automobile,
which skimmed over the deserted thor
oughfares at record speed.
The auto Is owned and waa opera-ad
by Julian F. Baxter. The tnachln*

after tt occurred, and, reallalng that
the condltlon.of Conductor Hightower
waa desperate, Mr. Baxter placed him

menced. Mr. Baxter nulling the nil-
chine open nndj-ushlng through the

the injured man to medical eld at the
quickest possible moment. It we* the
spare of only a few minutes until the
auto Hilled up to the hospital entrance
and Hightower waa hurried Into the
operating room.
A remarkable feature of the run Is
the fact that the machine broko down
just after reaching tha hospital anil
refused to budge when Mr. Baxter
tried to start It on the return trip. It
was some time before the machine was
Anally got In repair.
Conductor Hightower was Injured a*

'MAY NOT OPEN POLLS
IN COLOUITT COUNTY
FOR PRIMARY ELECTION
Hpeclal to The Georgian.
Moultrie, Ga., Aug. I.—Financing the
approaching state primary Is a ques
tion that la agitating the minds of tha
local organisation ot the Democratic
party. Chairman Z. H. Clark of the
county executive committee said to
day that there was some doubt about
there being any primary held In this
county. There Is no money In the
treasury and lie thinks It Improbable
that the candidates will stand for an
assessment from every county, or eve»
two-thirds of the countlea of the state.
There are thirteen voting places In
tht* county, and 2,800 white quattAed
voters. It costs 6100 minimum to hold
nn election, when the polling places all
over the county are opened. The coun
ty commissioners of this county have
recently refused to pay a portion of the
expenses of the county primary, which
wna held two months ago, and It Is
presumed will refuse to bear U>* •*-
penses of the state primary.
The registrars of the county will re
fuse to make out the voters’ lists until
some assurance Is forthcoming that
they will receive nay. There are tick
ets and election blanks to be printed
and none of this will be undertaken un
less some scheme presents Itself for
raising the money. Chairman Clark
has written to State Chairman Yeo
mans to get his advice In the matter.

A7 ATTORNEY COOPER
Attorney John R. Cooper came to
Atlanta late Thureday afternoon, pos
sessed ot the Idea that a plot was on
foot In Valdosta to lynch the Rawline
and Alf Moore, ▼
tie visited the governor, who laughed
the Macon man out of any such wild
notion.
"John,” said the governor, "I don t
think there’s the least danger of any
kind of a demonstration In Valdosta.
But maybe you'd beet not go down
there without a military escort."
And by thla kind of “Joshing" Gov
ernor Terrell appeased the fears of the
lawyer who has fought so hard to save
his clients.
According to a story In The Macon
News, Mrs. J. G. Rawlins came “
Macon Wednesday night and had
long consultation with Mr. Cooper. She
tried to keep her preeence secret, but
It became known that she was In the
city.
It le probable that Mrs. Rawlins was
unduly excited over the matter, and
communicated her fears to Mr. Cooper.
At any rate, he made a hurry-up trip
to Atlanta to sea Governor Terrell.
