XXVII. 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. FOR COUNCILMAN AT LARGE To the Voters of Winder. At the solicitation of friends I here by announce myself as a candidate for City Councilman at Large. If chosen for this position I shall always stand for the right and against the wrong; I will play no favorites and at all times I shall pull for every movement that in my humble judgment tends toward making Winder a bigger and better place in which to live.

Respectfully, CLEM ROYAL ®!)t Winter Mom Untrammeled by Prejudice and Unawed by Fear We Speak the Truth and Contend for the Right MAN WEARS SANDPAPER PATCH ON HIS TROUSERS 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 high je.st now.” 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. >IR. WILLLYM H. SHEATS RECEIVES SECOND STROKE Last Saturday while bathing in the bathtub at his home, Mr. W. H. Sheats received a second stroke of paralysis and lies seriously ill at his home on Athens street. At the time of the stroke Mr. Sheats was alone in the house, but managed to call for assistance until he attracted the attention of a negro servant in the back yard, who summoned relatives and friends, and Mr. Sheats is getting on as well as could be expected. A message to Miss Willie Mae, his only child, who was visiting friends in West Virginia, called her to his bed side, and she is now with her father.

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 HE EXHIBITED IN U. S.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.” A MANUFACTURING PLANT THAT WE ARE PROUD OF The Smith-Mayne Manufaeturnig Cos., is a Winder concern that is puting this town on the map. Shipments from this^plant go prac tically to every state in the union, and inquires about the plant's output. Mr. W. A.
