PRESIDEN T HARD ING DEAD
hipqth 'without Comes Suddenly And
Warning While Ex¬
ecutive was Conversing With
Members of Family.
presidential Headquarters, Palace
Hotel, San Francisco, Cal., August 2.—
[president Harding died instantly and
i dthou t warning tonight at 7:30 o’clock.
Death came to the chief executive members
■while he was conversing with
his family, according to an official
lt
!statement issued by physicians, which
apparently due to some brain devel¬
was
opment, probably an apoplexy.
The first indication that a change
had occurred in the; condition of Mr.
Harding came shortly after 7:00 o’clock,
when Mrs. Harding personally opened
the door of the sick room and called
to those in the corridor to “find Dr.
Bone and the others quick.” At that
time Mrs. Harding was understood to
have been reading to the president, sit¬
ting at his bedside with the evening pa¬
pers and mesasges of sympathy which
had been received during the day.
Presidential Headquarters, Aug 2.—
Warren G. Harding, president of the
United States, died instantly and with¬
out warning tonight at 7:30 o’clock, a
victim of a stroke of apoplexy, which
struck him down in his weakened condi¬
tion, after an illness of exactly a week.
The chief executive, of the nation,
and by virtue of his office and person¬
ality, one of the world's leading fig¬
ures, passed away at the time when his
physicians, his family and his people
thought that medical skill, hope and
prayer had won the battle against dis
ease.
A third official statement issued at
8:15 o’clock stated that Vice-President
Coolidge^' the next man who occupies
the first position in the United States
government, had been notified of Presi¬
dent Harding’s death.
The message was signed by Attorney
General Daugherty and Secretary
Hoover, Wallace and Work. It follows:
•The following telegram announcing
the president’s death was immediately
sent Vice President Coolidge, Chief
Justice Taft and those, members of the
cabinet who were not in San Francisco:
“ ‘The president died at 7:30 p. m.,
from a stroke of cerebral apoplexy.
The end came peaceably and without
warning.’ ” L
With the passing of Mr. Harding,
the office of president devolves upon
Calvin Coolidge, vice-president of the
United States, a| man silent in nature
but demonstrated as strong in emer¬
gencies. He was notified of the death
of Mr. Harding at his home) in Ply¬
mouth, Vermont.
Thp suddenness with whch the end
came was shown by the fact that only
Mrs. Harding and the two nurses, Ruth
Powderly and Sue Dausses, were in
the room at the time. 1 Mrs. Harding
with her characteristic faithfulness and
constant tenderness, was reading to the
president at the time.
Then without warning a slight shud¬
der passed through the frame of the
chief executive, hey collapsed and the
end came. Immediately the indications
of distress showed themselves. Mrs.
Harding ran to the door and called for
Lietu. Commander Boone and for the
other doctors to come quickly.
It was annunced in a fourth official
statement issued at 8:32 p.|m., that Mrs.
Harding had withstood the shock of
her husband's death and continued to
be .the “bravest member of the group.”
Her first words when she realized the
president had died were: “I am not go¬
ing to breakdown.”
"Mrs. Harding, who from the begin¬
ning of the president’s illness had ex¬
pressed complete confidence in his re¬
covery did not break down. On the
other hand, she continued, as from the
beginning, the bravest member of the
group.
"When it was realized that the presi¬
dent had passed away, she turn¬
ed to those in the room, whose con¬
cern had turned to her and said: ’I am
not going to break down.’ ”
Only Drs. Sawyer and Boone, the
chief and assistant physicians, were
a ble to reach the room before the na¬
tion s leader passed away. They were
Powerless to do anything.
Brave in the face of the president’s
illness, Mrs. Harding remained brave
in the realization of his death and did
not break down.

precedent plurality of 124,000 votes.
In September 1919 Governor Coolidge
was brought into national prominence
by his determined stand against th
unionization and strike of the Boston
police. His message to President Gone
pers of the American Federation of La¬
bor, asserting “there is no right to
strike against safety by anybody, any¬
where, anytime”, was so universally
applauded as a .manifestation of moral
courge that his friends began immed¬
iately to urge his nomination for the
presidency. His name was placed be
fore the Republican National Conven- he! j
tion held at Chicago, June 1920, and
received 34 votes. When the nomina* j ^

comfort and there was every justifica¬
tion for anticipating a prompt recov¬
ery.
Secretary Hoover was the first of the
four members of the president’s cabi¬
net, who are in San Francisco, to learn
the sad news. He went into the room
at once and in a few minutes came out j
obviously deeply distressed nd in a low,
voice said to newspaper men, most of
whom did not know of the hurried call
almost^ half an hour previously:
“Boys. I can’t tell you a thing.”
The story of the president’s tragic
end “The was president told of in died this at way: 7:30 p. m. | Mrs.. j
Harding and the two nurses, Miss Ruth
Powderly and Miss Sue Dausser, were
in the room at the time. Mrs. Harding
was reading to the president when, ut¬
terly without warning, a slight shud¬
der pased through his frame, he col¬
lapsed, and all recognized that the end
had come. A stroke of apoplexy was
lhe cause of his death.
“Within a few minutes all of the
president’s official party had been sum¬
moned.”
“The president had a most splendid |
afternoon’ said Lieut. Commander Joel
T. Boone, assistant to the president’s
personal physician.
“When 1 left the room I commented
Doesn’t he look splendid?’
“Then all at once, he went like that”
—the commander snapped his fingers.
“Just like that” he repeated. “Some¬
thing just snapped; that's all.”
Dr. Sawyer^ was in the apartment
when tlie climax came. He first called
Mrs. Harding, who then rushed to the
door leading into the hotel corridors
and commanded j an immediate search
for the other physicians.
The death of the nation's chief ex¬
ecutive was announced in these words:
“The president 1 dies instantly and
without warning and while conversing
with members of his family at <-35 p. m.
Death was apparently due' to some
brain development, probably an apo¬
plexy.
During the day he had been! free from
discomfort and there was every indica¬
tion for anticipating a prompt recov¬
ery.” '

PASTURES AND WEST NEW
TON CHEESE FACTORY
During the past week a number
people visited Lunsford pastures and
the “West Newton Cheese factory. The
Chamber of Commerce and citizens of
Marietta came down about thirty
strong on Thursday. The same day
twenty Lavonians represented North

MRS. BOWLES PASSES
AWAY IN CALIFORNIA
Mrs. George C. Bowles, formerly
Madge Terrell, of Covington, pass¬
ed away in Los Angeles, Friday, July
27th, after an illness of some months.
Mrs. Bowles was the only daughter
Mrs. Mamie Terrell and both were
univeraally Ioved and esteemed in this
where they resided for years. It
here that Madge was reared, at¬
tending the public schools, and form¬
ing friendships that will last through
out etern i ty .
gjj e t 00 k a prominent part in all the
activities of the First Baptist church
,^with untiring zeal the best
that wag in her life and vo ice.
She finished school at Shorter Col¬
lege with distinction and her singing
was recognized as very superior.
Removing to Florida, she filled en¬
gagements at two of the largest church¬
es in Jacksonville for which she was
paid a handsome salary.
It was while in Florida that she met
Judge Geo. C. Bowles. They were mar
and resided permanently in Miami
where t hey added much to the relig¬
ious, civic and social life.
One son, George C. Jr., was born to
them, and is now about seven years of
age.
Developing a dread disease, Mrs.
Bowles became so feeble that the
friends back home have been anxious
all the while; but at times were reas¬
sured by the reports from those who
came and went that she was improv¬
ing and growing stronger.
The western trip, primarily was for
the usual summer outing, and it was
hoped would make for health and
strength.
The body was frailer than they knew,
and the lovely young woman was called
to the Better Land.
The funeral party left Los Angeles
Sunday, August 3. for the long journey
to Miami, where all that was mortal
of this sweet singer and noble woman
will rest.
Mrs. Bowles is survived by her hus¬
band, Judge Bowles, and their son,
Geo. C. Jr., Mrs. Mamie Terrell, her
mother and Mr. H. D. Terrell, of Cov¬
ington, an uncle; and many sorrowing
! fi iends

) DIE FROM ARSENATE
When applying calcium arsenate to

chickens are kept shut up, at least un
’ til the dust has been
thoroughly set
Meld, or you may have the misfortune
| to lose your young chickens,
j or turkeys as did Mr. W. D. Gummell
on Oxford Route 1.
This progressive farmer one morning
last week thought it was about time
to murder a few boll weevils and got
busy with his poison and proceeded to j
make the dust fly, and
las little^ boy turned out. as he had
done each morning, three hens, the
first with seven little chickens, the 1
next with thirteen little turkeys, and j
the other with, 28 guineas. The 0 i d |
chickens were not affected, but almost
immediately after the little fellows
breathed the dust, they fell over and
died. They did not eat the poison, but
death was due to stiffling together with
its poison effect.
TEACHERS EXAMINATION
The County Superintendent of schools
held the regular Spite examination at
the Court House last Saturday, with
thirty teachers present.
The examinations were rather more
difficult than usual, but most of the
applicants came out with credit. In
fact no county in the state has a bet¬
ter corpse of teachers than Newton
county.
Supt. Adams offered a choicm book
to each of the teachers who spelled all
the words in the list given them. There
were fifty-two words, and as tricky a
list as ever sent out from the capital.
Miss Florence Alston, of the Almon
school, was the only applicant spelling
every word. She is probably the best
read young woman in Newton County.

FORD CAN HAVE
MUSCLE SHOALS
G. O. P. DECIDES
Terrorized by Detroit Mans
Boom for the Presidency -
Confident Third Party Wouid
Mean Democratic Success.
Washington, Aug 8.—After a confer¬
ence between outstanding Republican
leaders here today it develops that
Henry Ford, in another sesion of Con¬
gress will be given Muscle Shoals if
he wants it.
It is not that the Republicans love
Ford or think more favorably than be¬
fore of the terms of his offer. It is
because of statutes which prevent any
official of th^ Government having
with the Government a monetary con¬
tract of any variety.
The development today means that
the Ford boom for the Presidency lias
terrorized Republican leadership, that
it is regarded as the great menace to
Republican success next year. The G.
O. P. leadership is aware of the diffi¬
culty that Ford would have achieving
the nomination at the hands of the
Democrats. But it knows that the Ford
boom would make it easy for the De¬
troit wizard to lead a third party move¬
ment. Such a movement. Republicans
figure, would result in the election of
a Democrat unless the Democratic
party should lose control of the Solid
South and thus compensate Republi¬
cans for their loss of Michigan, Minne¬
sota, Wisconsin, South and North Da¬
kota, and Iowa, which Ford would prob¬
ably carry.
The plan of the Republicans is so
patent that there is speculation tonight
as to whether or not Ford would, in
return for Muscle Shoals, suffer the
destruction of his political aspiration.
Some contend that Ford, despite the ex¬
tended compromise, could not check
the enthusiasm of his supporters. Oth¬
ers, however, hold that the realization
of his Muscle Shoals dream would be
powerful enough to force him to re¬
tire again into political abscurity.
The development today is the livest
thing in political circles. It has grip¬
ped "Washington, the political capital
of the Nation, and gossip and specu¬
lation have taken a wide and spectacu¬
lar range.
