A Thanksgiving Plea.
This is Thanksgiving Day, and I

And in thanking you, I wish to ask
that all who can possibly do so will
help us. Help us with money or
clothing, and if you can do so take
one of these little ones into your

inquiries, and will see that any con
tributions are properly placed.

Of Legislation Urged
by Senator Harris.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 7.— Dis
cussing the legislation which Congress
should consider and denouncing the
position of the Republican adminis
tration on several important meas
ures, Senator Wm. J. Harris today
made his first comment upon return
ing from Georgia for the extra ses
sion of Congress. He announced op
position to the ship subsidy bill; ad
vocates the repeal of the tariff law
and amendment of the revenue law;
urgos legislation to help in the mark
eting of agricultural products, estab
lishing a system of rural credits, and
further stimulating the farm*, loan
banks, and favorable action at once
on the Henry Ford bid for Muscle
Shoals. Senator Harris said in a
statement today:
“The ship subsidy bill, as recom
mended by President Harding, is a
plan of taxing the people to the ex
tent of .30 or 40 million dollars for
tho shipping trust, in my opinion, and
I am opposed to the legislation. The
farmers have suffered more financial
ly than any other class, and they are
entitled to first consideration by tho
Government in legislation. When tho
farmers and live stock raisers prosper
all other industries are benefitted,but
when they cannot sell thoir products
at a profit every industry suffers.
“Why does not President Harding
recommend to this ‘do nothing and
discredited’ Congress some measures
that will help the people of tho agri
cultural South and West? When
these sections prosper every section
of our country enjoys prosperity.
“Tho election of Nov. 7th wks a
protest of the people against the rev
enue bill passed by the Republican
Congress placing the burden of tax
ation on those least able to pay and
exempting those most able. This lew
should he amended.
“The tariff law recently passed
should be repealed. It has increased
the cost of living for every person in
the United States in order to help the
Republican manufacturers who, in
many cases, had contributed to the
campaign. It is vicious to tax all of
the people to assist in paying cam
paign contributions.
“Tho objectionable provisions of
tho EBch-Cummins railroad law
should bo repealed and a reduction in
freight routes and passenger fares
should be made, so that the manufac
turers and farmers can make a living
profit. Reductions will bring more
business to the railroads, in my judg
ment.
“Congress should pass legislation
that will help the farmer in market
ing his crop at less expense and pre
vent the middleman from getting all
the profit the farmer earns. Several
measures that would help the agricul
tural situation, in my opinion, were
introduced by me and passed the Sen
ate at the last session. The farmer’s
associations all over the country have
recommended these bills, but the Re
publican Congress will not let them
be voted upon. Why not pass these
bills, and others, and give the farmers
assistance in marketing their crops
through financial and warehouse fac
ilities?
“The Democrats were working on a
system of rural credits to give the
farmer cheaper interest rates on
money. Why do the Republicans de
lay this measure? The Democrats are
all urging it new.
“The Federal Farm I^oan Banks
hould be more prompt in making
loans, and Congress should increase
the present limits.
“The Southern cotton producer and
the Western wheat farmers cannot
receive full prices for their products
as long as Europe is floundering a-
bout financially. It is to our interest
for Europe to get on a sound basis
financially and commercially. It will
help our farmers, laborers and man
ufacturers.
“Because Henry Ford contested the
Newberry election is one of the reas
ons the Republicans have refused to
let Ford have Muscle Shoals, which
would be a great help. The Republi
can voters have repudiated Newber-
ryism. Why not let Ford have Muscle
Shoals? He made the best bid and
offered millions for a plant which the
Republicans said should be junked.
Why not pass this legislation now?
The country will force Congress to
help Muscle Shoals two years from

CAN GET PLANT
Our Chamber of Commerce is do
ing some, good work for Cedartown,
and Secretary McCord is right on the
job.
Herd is a chance for Cedartown to
get a new industry that cornea
through C. of C. channels.
An experienced and successful
brick manufacturer wishes to move
to Cedartown with $15,000 worth of
machinery, if our people will take
stock to an equal amount. The fi
nancial management would be in the
hands of our local people, and he
would look after the manufacturing
end of the business.
If you are interested, talk with
Mr. McCord about it.
Accident Policy.
We can offer to autoists bigger
value for the money than any other
policy written. Our new Automobile
Accident Policy provides for the pay
ment of $1,0(JO for death or the lose
of,-,eye or limbs or one-half amount

eye’s annual increase in indempnity
of 10% for five years; $26 weekly
indemnity for 26 weeks for total dis
ability from automobile accident;
$12.SO for partial disability two
weeks; $15 weekly additional on total
disability for four weeks for hospital;
non-disabling accident, $5 for sur
geon’s fee; expense up to $100 paid
if injured away from home to defray
expense of reaching home or rela-
ives. All of these benefits for only
$5 a year. This insurance written
for both men and women between
the ages of 18 and 65 years. No ona
who drives or rides in an auto can af
ford to be without it.
THE KNIGHT AGENCY.
now, in my opinion.
“The Republican party should not
forget the farmer, tho wage-earner
and the consuming public.”
Senator Harris is a member of the
Senate agricultural "bloc,” and all of
his viewB on agricultural matters are
in line with the fight being made by
the “bloc.”
