COMMISSION ISSUES DRASTIC
ORDERS, DUE TO NATIONAL
“EMERGENCY”
PRIORITY RULESARE ISSUED
Cars For Coal Distribution Aro Classi
fied In Order Of Urgency
Of Their Need
Washington.—A "national emergen
cy”—growing out of an industrial con
flict—has been declared by the gov
ernment for the first time in peace
time history of the United States, says
a United News staff correspondent. As
a result of the coal and rail strikes,
the interstate commerce commission,
empowered for the first time by the
Esch-Cummins law, has assumed con
trol of the distribution of fuel, food
and other necessities.
In two orders, issued after a long
/conference between President Harding
and his cabinet, the commission, de
clared the emergency, provided prior
ity regulations for shipment of fuel,
food, etc., in the eastern half of the
country and orders to expedite general
freight shipments throughout the
country.
In issuing the crisis order, effective
July 26, the commission said: “An
emergency which requires immediate
action exists upon the lines of each
and all the common carriers by rail
road subject to the interstate com
merce act, east of the Mississippi, in
cluding the west bank crossings there
of, on account of the inability of said
common carriers properly and com
pletely to serve the public in the trans
portation of essential commodities.”
Faced with this situation the com
mission then ordered:
1. That railroads shall give prior
ity to the movement of food, feed for
live stock, perishable products, coal,
coke and fuel oil.
2. That priority be given inter
change and return of empty cars in
tended for transportation of these nec
essary commodities.
3. That preferential movement of
coal cars to the mines be practiced
and that cars suitable for transporting
coal shall not be used for taking other
commodities.
4. That an embargo be placed
against the receipt of coal or other
freight transported in open top cars
suitable for coal loading which can
not be unloaded within 24 hours after
placement.
6. That all rules, regulations and
practices of the railroads with respect
to the car service be suspended so
far as they conflict with the new regu
lations.
The commission, in designating the
manner in which coal cars are to be
supplied to the mines, divided them
into five classes. In the first class
will be cars “for such special pur
poses as may from time to time be
specially designated”—which gives the
commission virtually complete control
over the movement of all cars. In
the second class are cars for fuel for
railroads and other carriers including
ships; for public utilities which di
rectly serve the general public—street
and interurban railways, electric
power and light, gas, water, sewer
works, ice plants and hospitals.
REQUESTS NEWSPAPERS
TO SEND REPORTERS
TO WITNESS SUICIDE
New York.—After writing several
holes to newspapers requesting that
some one be sent “to see a real sui
cide,” and another to a relative to have
his body cremated and the “ashes sent
to the head of the brokerage firm
where he did his trading to fertilize
his lawn,” a middle-aged, well-dressed
man jumped from a ferry boat in the
Hudson river and was drowned.
Other messages which he left in his
hat — carefuly placed on the deck
before he climbed the rail to jump
overboard — stated that he had lost
all his savings speculating in stocks.
NO HOPE FORJSETTLEMENT
Inference Is That Future Moves To
End Strike .Will Come From
The White House
Tillie Walker Hits 24th Home Run
Philadelphia, Pa.—Tillie Walker,
leading home run hitter of the Amer
ican League, smashed out “Number
24” recently in the third inning of the
Washington-Philadelphia game. Erick
son was pitching for Washington.
Britain Is Pictured As Soot-Covered
' London.—Lord Newton, speaking in
thf house of ermmons, declared Eng
land and Scotland were the dirtiest
(countries in Europe. His. reference
was not to the habits of the people,
but to the practically unrestricted use
of soft coal in factories and for do
mestic fires. Lord Newton quoted sta
tistics to show that 300 tons of soot
fell every year on each square mile of
London, which was enough to build a
pyramid four times as high as the fa-
nftus clock-tower over the houses of
parliament.
Chicago.—No further action toward
ending the railway shopmen’s strike is
contemplated by the railroad labor
board at this time, Ben W. Hooper,
chairman of the labor board, announces
on his return from a conference with
President Harding at Washington.
Asked whether any new plans looking
toward a settlement of the strike had
been made, he dictated the following
statement:
“My trip to Washington was main
ly for the purpose of furnishing the
president with the fullest information
possible' in regard to the strike situa
tion.
“As might be supposed, the presi
dent should know the situation from
every angle, from the carriers, employ
ees, the labor board and the public.
"There is nothing else that can be
said just now, other than to answer the
question asked me by saying that no
further action by the labor board is in
contemplation at this time.”
While Mr. Hooper was meeting the
government officials in Washington, B.
M. Jewell and other strike leaders
were in conference with James J. Da
vis, secretary of labor, at Mooseheart,
Illinois.
After the meeting and before depart
ing for Washington, Mr. Davis express
ed the belief that the strike could be
settled if the roads would restore the
seniority rights of the strikers and
the labor board would take up the
other questions in dispute.
In discussing the hopes of a settle
ment, members of the labor board re
viewed the progress of the strike since
its inception on July 1. They pointed
out that the strike vote which pre
cipitated the country-wide walkout was
taken on three questions. These griev
ances were given in a strike bulletin
issued by Mr. Jewell, which said:
“The present strike centers around
these issues:
“The establishment of unjust wagse
by decision of the United States labor
board.
“The establishment of unjust wages
ing conditions which curtailed over
time pay allowed under governmental
operation.
“The contracting out of shop work
to evade the application of the law as
provided by the transportation act.
Widow Of Barrett Heads Age-Herald
Birmingham, Ala.—Announcement is

of the late Edward W. Barrett, for
nearly twenty-five years editor and
owner of the Age-Herald. In assum
ing her new duties, Mrs. Barrett is
sued the following statement: "The
Age-Herald will be conducted in the
future under my direction along the
same lines as in the past. Its policy
will be grounded upon the ideals of
constructive, upbuilding service which
have guided it for twenty-five years.”
Mayfield Increases In Texas Race
Dallas, Texas.—Earl B. Mayfield
showed a considerable lead over his
opponents for the democratic nom
ination for United States senator,
when about half of the total vote of
260 counties had been counted. The
official vote showed: Mayfield 84,107;
Ferguson 63,008; Culberson 54,338;
Thomas 47,896; Ousley 33,861; Henry
22,412. In the governor’s race, Gover
nor P. M. Neff had 170,045; Rogers
103,471; Warner 30,234; King 8,487.
Wanted For Killing Justice Of Peace
Alexandria, Va.—Alvin W. Harris,
negro, 22, wanted for shooting and
killing Thomas S. Meredith, a justice
of the peace of Gainesville, Prince Wil
liam county, surrendered himself to
Commonwealth's Attorney Thomas H.
Lyon of manassas and was brought
to Alexandria city jail for safekeeping.
He was later taken to Richmond, at
which place he will be held until he
is tried.
Puncture Proof Tires Needed By Japs
London.—Considerable mystery is
involved in the sudden death of Prince
Regent Hirohito’s chauffeur, according
to dispatch. Japanese newspapers de
clare that the chauffeur committed ha-
rakiri because of humiliation over a
puncture while he was driving the
prince regent on a recent motor tour.
Austrian Foreign Money Order Modified
Vienna, Austria.—The Austrian gov
ernment has modified the ord,er prohib-
itng trading in foreign moneys. Un

GOVERNMENTTAKES
CONTROL OF COAL
HAS TURNED ALL EFFORTS TO
SECURING ESSENTIAL COAL,
DESPITE TWO STRIKES
HOOVERWILLJKIN CHARGE
Hoover Will Control Distribution And
Price By Car Allocation—Daugh
erty Okays The Plan
Agreement upon plans for distribu
tion of coal andfor restriction of un
fair prices is announced in Washing
ton.
Possibilities of a seperate agree
ment in Illinois to be taken up at a
meeting of the miners’ union in St.
Louis soon.
Operators from four states in South
western Interstate Coal Operators’ as
sociation appoint committees to seek
the protection of state authorities as
a step forward reopening their mines.
Detroit considers plan for appoint
ment of a fuel commissioner and the
pooling of all surplus coal stocks.
Washington.—Immediate steps for
acquiring a maximum production of
coal from non-union and strip mines,
adequate distribution of the supply
through government control of coal
cars and preventatives. against profi
teering, have been effected by the ad
ministration, according to a United
News staff correspondent. Secretary
Hoover will be virtual fuel director.
In taking this course, it will be
observed that officials are concentrat
ing on measures to supply soal to con
sumers rather than on ways and
means of settling the two strikes them
selves. On the latter problem, it was
revealed by a high cabinet authority,
President Harding has worked out a
definite method for taking care of the
coal situation, but absolutely no plan
has been completed for terminating
the rail strike.
The big thing now, officials say, is
obtaining and distributing coal.
Through maximum operation of non
union mines—possible only by having
adequate cars for transporting the fuel
—and by working of strip or surface
mines, is necessary, officials say the
immediate need of the railroads and
big industries can be met.
To this end, therefore, Secretary
Hoover, through co-operation with the
department of justice, interstate com
merce commission, railway executives
and mine operators, is ready, as emer
gency fuel administrator, to take
charge of coal production and distribu
tion. Attorney-General Daugherty has
handed down a special ruling declar
ing Hoover’s program for handling the
situation is legal and he has all neces
sary powers to go ahead with It.
Mine Opening Move Now Awaited
Pittsburg, Pa.—Curious eyes were
turned recently toward Cokesburg, in
Washington county, and Heilwood, in
Indiana county, as the two places
where in all probability, the first at
tempts would be made to reopen the
bituminous mines of the Western
Pennsylvania region. No outward
move to start the mines was made but
strong forces of troops had been con
centrated and there were underground
reports that more will be sent to those
points.
Fires On Bandits Getting Jewel Haul
St. Louis, Mo.—Five automobile ban
dits robbed the jewelry store and
pawnshop of Morris Blumefield of
jewels estimated at between $15,000,-
000 and $20,000,000 and escaped. Sev
eral shots were exchanged between
Blumefield and one of the bandits as
their automobile sped away.
Two Aviators Hurt In ’Plane Crash
New York.—Two aviators were in
jured when the machine they were
piloting crashed to the street in Bird-
sail avenue near the Long Island Rail
road, Far Rockaway. They were tak
en to St. Johesph’s Hospital.

Canary Islanders Need No Radio
Washington.—The Canary Islanders
are an exception to the world-wide de
mand for American radio instruments,
the natives being perfectly satisfied
with their centuries-old system of
whistling signels. Consul F. A. Henry,
at Teneriffe, reports that by this sys
tem the natives convey news and in
formation over considerable distances
with great rapidity. A recent at
tempt to introduce radio on the re
mote island of Gomera, in the Canary
group, is said to have been greeted
with scornful twittering
The revival meeting at the Baptist
Church is attracting much attention
and large crowds are filling the church
to its capacity at both services daily.
Dr. E. H. Jennings of the Prince
Avenue Baptist Church, of Athens, is
doing the preaching, and John Henry
of the same church is the song leader.
Dr. Jennings is one of the best
equipped ministers in this entire sec
tion, being one of the fortunate ones
to< have been enabled to have traveled
through the Holy Land, where Christ
dwelt and to have opportunity to
study personally the habits oi the peo
ple of the Holy Land, this in addition
to having a deep spiritual experience
of the wonderful Grace of God, gives
Dr. Jennings a personal magnetism in
his ministry that holds his congrega
tions in deep interest while this man
of God reveals humanity’s greatest
need.
The song leader ranks w.lu ‘(he very
best and has been engaged in evange
listic singing for many years, serving
with a number of the leading evangel
ists engaged in state work.
The meeting will go on through the
coming week and all who are within
coming distance, are urged to attend
as many of the services as possible, as
the ! songs and the preaching of any
one hour are complete in themselves
to help any unbeliever to find Salva
tion and each message presents an ap
peal to believers to seek and find the
Spirit Filled Life.

FAYETTE COUNTY
TEACHERS EXAM-
INATION.
Congressman J. Walter Wise, who
is a candidate for re-election as the
representative from the sixth district,
is one of the,strongest members of the
Georgia delegation in Washington. Mr.
Wise has not been spectacular, is not
known as a good “advertiser,” but he
is solid to the core. He is an unusually
able lawyer, a good business man, pos
sesses common sense views on nil
public questions, and is always alert
to the interests of his constituents.
Besides, Congressman Wise is a very
popular man, both in and out of Con
gress, a.nd it is going to take some
strong opposition to jar him loose
from his present office. It will be a
genuine pleasure for thousands of vot
ers—as well as women who are voting
this year for the first time—to again
cast a ballot for this able, clean,
staunch Democrat and loyal Georgian.
Curiosity Excited.
“That office boy gets on my nerves.”
•Why so? He doesn’t whistle.” "There
rou are! Why doesn’t he? That’s what
i want to know.”—Toledo Blade.
To the Teachers:
The regular State Examination for
Teachers will take place on Friday
and Saturday, August 4th and 5th.
1922, at the new school building in
Fayetteville. The following informa
tion may be valuable to those interest
ed in taking the examinations.
On Friday will be given the exam
ination for Primary License, and the
first day’s work for the Geueral Ele
mentary. Those who intend to teach
any grade above the third should take
both day’s work, as the license should
be for that department in which the
work is to be done. In addition, the
History, English and.Science groups of
questions for the high school and Sup
ervisory Certificate, the Renewal Ex
aminations for High School and Ele
mentary Certificates, given on the
Reading Courses which have been an
nounced in this paper, and the qes-
tions on Georgia History and Geo
graphy for those teachers wishing to
validate licenses made in other states
will be given.
On Saturday there will be ques
tions for the last half of the General
Elementary examination and for lan
guages and mathematics in the high
school test. The high school and Su
pervisory Certificate may be secured
by taking examination on any three
of the five groups, History, English,
Science, Mathematics and Languages.
The History includes Ancient, Modern
and English; the English includes
English Grammar, Composition and
Rhetoric, English and American Lit
erature; the Science will consist of
questions on Agriculture, Physics and
Biology; the Mathematics is Arith
metic, Algrebra through Quarratics,
and Plane Geometry. Any two of the
languages, Latin. French, Spanish and
Greek may be taken.
If there are any who wish to take
the Professional License, it may be
done by showing three years of suc
cessful teaching experience, a diploma
from a college, attendance upon such
a summer school as the University of
Georgia, Peabody, or Columbia, and
an average of 75 per cent upon the
high school or general .elementary
reading course. A six weeks course
at any standard summer school will
automatically renew Professional or
First Grade Licenses, just as well as
the Reading Course Test, provided the
teacher shows her certificate from the
summer school that she has complet
ed threec ourses in education.
No examination other than the reg
ular examination given on August 4th
and 5th, will be recognized as entitling
one receiving license through it to
grading on the salary schedule adopt
ed by the county will be given before
the opening of school and .it is certain
that teachers who take them will re
ceive less credit for the results of the
special, than of the Regular Examina
tion.
Manuals are obtainable at the office
of the County Superintendent. Any
special information that may be re
quired should be sought at once.

ASSOCIATION
HARRY REDWJNE
Tech Student Traps Ne
gro Sentenced to Hang.
$200.00 Reward.
Genus Cofield, a negro about forty-
five years old, undei* sentence to hang
for the murder of his nephew, Weyman
Cofield, in the court room here last
March, and who escaped from the jail
here in the latter part of May, was re
captured at Hogansville late Saturday
and returned to the jail here Sunday.
He was originaly sentenced to hang
April 5. It is presumed he will be sen
tenced at an early date.
His capture was brought about by
Harry Redwine, a student at Tech
and the son of W. W. Redwine, of
Redwine Brothers Cotton Company,'of
Atlanta and Fayetteville. Young Red
wine late Saturday was returning on
a truck from LaGrange, where he had
taken some cotton when a negro “wav
ed him down.” He did not stop, but
the negro swung onto the truck any
how.
Mr. Redwine recognized him, but did
not let him know it. When he got to
Hogansville, he told the negro that he
was going into a drug store to get a
cigar. He got the town marshal to put
Cofield under arrest.
Mr. Redwine notified Sheriff Ker-
lin Sunday morning, and the negro was
brought here. Young Redwine thus
came into some nice vacation money
in the form of a reward of $200 offered
by the governor for Cofield’s appre
hension.

of Georgia:
“W 7 hereas, Hon. William H. Fish*
who for the past seventeen years, has

“Whereas, the members of the Grif
fin Bar are familiar with the splendid
record of Judge Fish and can testify
to his inexhaustible stock of common
sense, his deep and profound knowl
edge of the law and his absolute fair
ness and impartiality,
“We therefore take pleasure in in
dorsing the candidacy of Judge Fish
and in earnestly recommending his re-
election.
Judge John J. Flynt was highly in
dorsed as a candidate for congress in
the Sixth district.
Resolutions adopted recite that
Judge Flynt has had extensive experi
ence as a legislator in the house of
representatives and in the senate of
Georgia and that he is in every way
