COX SPECIAL IS
IN TRAIN WRECK
Governor and Party Badly Shaken,
But All Escape Injury—Engineer
Breaks Leg.
.Phoenix, Ariz., September 22. —Gov-
pernor Cox’s presidential campaign train
was wrecked about 4 :30 o'clock today,
14 miles north of here. The governor
and his party were badly shaken when
an engine and four cars of the special
train were ditched, but all escaped in
jury. The most seriously hurt was
.Charles A. Xicholls, engineer of Pres
cott, who had a leg broken in jumping
from his cab when his engine toppled
over.
Spreading rails were assigned by
railroad men as the cause of the wreck,
which compelled the governor and
party to return here tonight and cancel
his evening address at Presdott. His
future itinerary also was upset.
" The accident occured a half mile
out of Peoria, a village on the Santa
Fe railroad. After delivering several
addresses here the train, consistig of
six cars and drawn by two heavy en
gines, needed for the upgrade to Pres
cott. left here at 4 o'clock. About half
an hour later while running at a speed
estimated at between 35 and 40 miles
an hour, the train jarred suddenly,
and the careening of the cars told
passengers the story.
The four forward cars were ditched,
| the governor's private car at the rear
and the adjoining compartment of
newspaper men, except for its forward
truck, remained on the rails.
EDISON TONE-TEST RECITAL
HEARD BY LARGE AID LANCE
One of the most unique and thorough
ly pleasing recitals ever given in Win
der was presented last Thursday even
ing at the Winder High School Audi
torium by Miss Gladys Rice and Miss
Adaline Packard. The recital was an
artistic success in every respect, and
Smith Hardware Company is to !>e
congratulated for securing these capa
ble and charming for an appear
ance here.
When Miss Packard appeared on tlfe
stage and stated that Miss Rice would
sing in unison with her re-created
voice and that the audience would not
- la* able to tell the difference between
re-created and living voice, many per
sons were skeptical. Attempt to match
that glorious voice with a device of
mere wood and metal! Impossible!
The skeptics were soon convinced, how
ever. for in Miss Rice's initial number
on the program, her lips ceased to
move, but her song went on. Slowly
it dawned on the mystified audience
that Miss Rice was no longer singing,
though her voice came forth as clear
and sweet as before. Again, she sang,
but the audience only knew it was the
living Miss Rice by the motion of her
lips. It seemed as if there were two
artists on the stage—two singers, but
only one voice. The tones emanating
from the New Edison were identical
with those of the living artist, and it
was impossible to detect any difference.
The instrument produced not an echo
or copy, but the real thing—Miss Rice’s
voice, untained by any mechanical
transformations —unspoiled by any me
tallic ring.
After the applause which followed
this “miracle” exhibition, Miss Pack
ard shared the stage with their fellow
musician, the New Edison. She played
in unison with ’the re-creation of her
art. Only by watching her could one
know when the living artist was being
heard alone and when the music came
in double measure. The re-creation
was absolutely identical with the orig
inal in every particular.
Further numbers in which Miss Rice
and Miss Pachard performed witn
1 themselves impressed the conviction of
one's inability to distinguish between
re-created art and its original.

Wife’s Idea to Save Wear and Tear
Of Mateh-Scratehing.
OlinvHle, Conn. —On a recent after
noon Orvis I Mett came down Main
I
street witli a white square patch on
the side of his right trouser leg which
attracted much attention. He entered
the postoflice and was asked the signifi
cance of the patch.
Mett replied that he had a habit
of scratching matches on the leg of
his trousers, which always left a streak ;
that his wife had tried to break him
of the habit, but to no avail, and as a
last resort had sewed the sandpaper
to the trouser leg and hud warned him
that he must scratch his matches on
it —and no where else.
“Good idea, 1 think,” said Mett, who
also remarked that “pants are dummed

CLEM ROYAL ANNOUNCES
FOR ALDERMAN AT LARGE
Mr. Clem Royal has announced his
candidacy for Councilman at Large.
Clem is one of our leading tonsorial
artists. He lius made a success in this
business. He is full of the Winder
spirit and believes in Winder and her
future. He has done much in the way
of building up the city. Few young
men have built more houses and sold
them than Clem, thereby adding popu
lation to the city. Besides caring for
and educating a large family, Clem
has accumulated property, and if he
can handle civic affairs as successfully
as he handled his own, he will make
Winder a good official. His heart beats
true, and he will give his best.

MOUNT SUFFRAGE
WAGON FOR RIDE
Secretary Colby Cranks Her Up and
Starts Off Rejoicing So Why
Not Scramble On.
The nineteenth amendment to the
Fedearl Constitution has been ratified,
and Secretary Colby lias startl'd the
Woman’s Suffrage band wagon on u
tour of the country.
Let’s all take a ride.
Woman's suffrage is here.
Whether it is to our liking or not,
woman is going to take her political
place in the affairs of the nation.
She is going to stand for good schools,
clean towns and sanitary homes.
As sure as day follows night, she
is going to have her say about what
Is happening around her, and we are
strong for women —always have been.
Now to the point.
Wouldn't women officials, if properly
picked, lie an improvement in civic
affairs in WinderV
Wouldn't they have more time, and
spend more energy to moke Winder a
City Beautiful?
Winder possesses more brilliant
women to the block than any other
city in the state. Think of the follow
ing list and compare these women with
present mayors and past mayors and
aldermen and ask yourself if you
couldn’t select an administration out of
the list that would beat even the great
achlevmeiits of Winder’s best yeurs of
progress:
Mesdames W. C. Horton, John H.
Wood, W. H. Quarterman, A. A. Camp,
W. O. Perry, A D. McCurry, It. B. Jack
son, Bettie Millsaps, W. J. Herrin, C.
M. Ferguson, Georgia Harris, W. L.
Bush —oil, well, the list grows too long
for publication.
We want to cast a vote in Winder
for a Winder woman.
Let’s v put Winder on the map by
taking the lead of Southern cities to
do justice to the women.
And besides help our town, help our
, selves and help our community.
What say you, City Fathers?
! Open up the registration list to
women for the primary to be held in
November and throw the burs down
for entrance of women candidates for
civic positions. It is up to you.
We have in mind two women, either
of whom would make 'Winder a crack
erjack mayor, in our humble judg
ment.
PAPER SUITS ARE TO

FORMER PASTOR WILLING
TO SELL EAR FOR $10,000.00
Washington—E. H. Donner, of Char
lotte, N. C., having heard the call of
SIO,OOO is perfectly willing to part
with one of his ears forever in ex
change for that sum. Dormer announc
ed Tuesday he would sell his left ear
to Frank J. Queseda, wealthy Cuban
planter, who is in New York advertis
ing for an ear to replace, with the aid
of surgery, one lost years ago by injury.
Donner formerly was a clergyman
but abandoned the ministry for manual
labor.
“I can use SIO,OOO better than I can
two ears,” he said. “I tried to earn
a living as an ordained minister but
learned that these ure days when brain
work, unless it is an exceptional brain,
does not command a living, wage.”
GO OVER TO HEAR JOE PREACH
Mr. S. C. Potts, Mrs. Emma MeCles
key uuil Cupid Potts motorini over to
Oconee church, in Jackson county, last
Sunday to hear Rev. J. J. Bennett
'preach in his old home section. Mr.
Potts lived for years near Oconee
church, and Joe Bennett preached at
this church in his young manhood. To

pit orators in the Buptist denomina

END PREDICTED
OF WAR CHARGE
Gradual Return of Law of Snpply and
Demand as Goveminf Influence
Over Prices
Washington, Seytember 22.—Grad
ual return to the law of supply and
demand as a governing influence over
prices, and the end of “war charges”
for necessary commodities was predict
ed today by government officials in
explaining the government’s uttitude on
credit extension.
Secretary Houston declared requests
for credit could not be listened to
where such aid might mean the pre
servation of high price levels. He add
ed that many persons complaining of
what they term the restrictive policies
of the federal reserve hoard wish credit
to enable them hold their commodities
until market conditions produce higher
prices. Mr. Houston said the govern
ment could not lend its aid under such
circumstances without becoming a party
to a conspiracy against the consumer.
Credit for marketing of commodities
may be had from the local banks, Gov
ernor Harding, of the board, lias told
the representatives of the cotton and
wool growers, stockmen and farm as
sociations who have sought the in
fluence of the hoard for the extension
of credits. Disposal of their stocks as
the demand Jwill absorb them, Mr.
Harding said, and will enable produc
ers to liquidate their holdings and ease
a falling market.
Prices on article's which have been
under government control have broken
sharply, according to Howard E. Figg,
special assistant to the attorney general
in charge of the campaign to lower
living costs who cited recent labor sta
tistics as substaininEETAOINMFWY
tisties as substaniatiug bis claim. For
the next two years, Mr. Figg said, the
distribution of food, feeds and clothing
will be governed by the supply and
demand without the need for govern
ment supervision of prices. Merchants
throughout the country, he declared,
are realizing prices must meet the de
mand for their goods and that the re
turn to nearly normal or pre-war condi
tions is not far distant.
NOT ENOUGH COFFINS
FOR CHOLERA VICTIMS
New York, September 22.—Carpen
ters are unable to build enough coffins
for cholera victims in west China, de
clared a letted received here today by
the American Baptist Foreign Mission
society from I)r. Joseph Taylor, its
representative in Cheng Tu. Under
date of August 10, Mr. Taylor wrote:
“The cholera is raging in Cheng Tu.
People are dropping dead in the streets,
and the supply of coffins lias run out.
Although carpenters are working day
and night, the dead have to be buried
in trenches.”

age and enjoys these annual birthday
dinners because it gives her the pleas
ant privilege of having all of her chil

splendid women of this county, ail of

NTNETL-YEAR-0 LI) NEGRO
LEAVES A MILLION DOLLARS
.Made Fortune From leasing Oil Lauds
In Texas.
West Columbia, Texas. —Charles
Brown, who died at his home here a
few days ago, probably was the wealth
iest and most unostentatious negro in
the world. He was 00 years old, and
generally is reputed to have lift a
fortune of considerably more than sl,-
000,000. Some estimates have placed
his wealth at twice that. He owned
a limit 3,000 acres of land, most of
which is in the heart of the West
Columbia oil field. Brown received an
enormous revenue from oil wells under
the one-eighth lease clause. He also
was a farmer. .
He made no change in libs manner
of living when tlie big fortune came
to him. Frequently he was seen driv
ing along the roads and streets in a
farm wagon.
JAPAN PLANS TO FIGHT
FOR RACIA EQUALITY
Tokio, September 22. —The Japanese
government us a result of yesterday’s
meeting of the cabinet will, in the first
place, vigorously pursue the negotia
tions concerning American anti-Japa
nese legislation, and, in the seem] place,
will push firmly the question of racial
equality in the league of nations con
ference, according to Ilochi Shimbum
today. Those decisions will he consider
ed further at today's meeting of the
newspapers say.
The labor unions, in conference here
today, adopted resolutions pledging
“harmonious co-operations with the
Japanese laborers of California in
their insistence upon their lawful
rights.”
The resolutions were cabled to tlie
California labor association. At a pub
lic meeting in the Y. M. C. A. hall
here today, Representative Kodorna
spoke on the subject of “An American-
Japanese War.” He denounced Amer
ican militarism, saying that as long
as a threatening nation existsed be
yound the Pacific, Japanese naval ex
pansion cannot he dispensed with.
Police interfered and silenced the speak
er.
A graduate of Columbia University,
New York, M. Oasko, who followed
Representative Kodama, attributed the
anti-Japanese sentiment in the United
States to racial difficulties. He de
clared that the whites were oppressing
the colored races, backed by the power
and influence of civilization. Japan
was the only country strongly opposing
white oppression. M. Osako asserted,
and therefore had incurred the hatred
of the Americans. The Japanese, he
added, must strongly lie determined to
meet tlie serious consequences follow
ing t lie serious anti-Japanese movement
prevailing in America. A large crowd
acclaimed the sueakers.

accepting or refusing nourishment.
The morning bulletin issued by the
Irish Self-Determination league said

JOHNSON BREAKS
HIS LONGSILENCE
Launches First Attack by Scoring Au
tocratic Policy of Wilson—Glad
League Is Scrapped.
Sacramento, Cal., Sept 22.—Emerging
from the political silence which has
enveloped him since the Chicago con
vention, Senator Hiram Johnson Tues
day afternoon, before the Republican
State convention, took up with renewed
vigor the tight on the League of Na
tions which he characterized as the
“dominant issue” of the campaign.
’ Congratulating the convention on
“the outlook for Republican success,”
Senator Johnson declared that “so
widespread is the dissatisfaction with
the present administration, o great the
hostility to many of the acts of the
President and so acute the justifiable
fear of the metamorphosis of our
foreign policy that apparently nothing
can prevent overwhelming Republican
success in the November elections ”
Referring to the stand of Senator
Warren G. Harding, Republican pres
idential candidate, on the league, Sen
ator Johnson declared:
“Mr. Harding, happily for himself
and for America, has scrapped the
league.”
The Senator said in part:
“The Indictment brought against Mr.
Wilson’s government is served and is
warranted by the facts. For the first
time in our lives the Democratic ad
ministration taught us what repression
and suppression were. The adminis
tration not only curtailed the constitu
tional privileges of citizens at home,
hue endeavored to drive us into perilous
paths abroad.
“Free speech has been threatened,
not in the interest of patriotism, but
for existing power. A free press has
been endangered, a rigid censorship
diluted the news. These aaaults in
sensibly breed intolerance, the ancient
foe of freedom. The necesary restric
tions of wartime have been inexcusably
prolonged in peace. . t
“Not only have these things trans
pi red domestically, but while our in
tellects were numbered with the an
guish of war, und free expression was
controlled, the present Democratic ad
ministration sought to revolutionize
the time-honored foreign policy of the
nation and to make us part of every
distant quarrel und controversy and
of every mud militaristic udventure.
Under the specious guise of a League
of Nations to promote peace and pre
vent war, we were to be inextricably
bound hereafter to every future world
war. i
“The League of Nations not alone
will irrevocably change our foreign
policy and involve us in the quarrels
and controversies in which we have
no concern ad from which we have ever
held aloof, but will also seriously effect
us in our domestic relations. It be
comes, therefore, as both candidate*
assert ad us the President himself
iias declared, the dominant issue in
this campaign. Men like ourselves
fought this good fight for the last year
and a half and welcome this issue and
in the election in November we will
repudiate beyond redemption, the Wil
son League of Nations.
“Upon this League of Nations the
issue is clean-cut. The language of
the two candidates is plain and un
anibigious. The one says he will go
into the league, and I am proud to
say that our candidate says that he will
■itay out of the league.”
