PEACH ADVOCATES
ISSUE STATEMENT
Say Houston Will Retain 57 Per
Cent of White Population if
)New Peach County Should be
Created.
Fort Valley, Ga., November 6. —
Houston county will retain 57 per cent
of her white population, and 56 Per
cent of her taxable values if Georgia
voters ratify the amendment submit
ted by the legislature, creating Peach
county at the polls next Tuesday, ac
cording to a statement issued today
by the committee favoring ratifica
tion.
It is further charged by the pro-
Peach” committee that the opponents
of th e n ew county had spent te n times
as much money in their effort to de
feat the measure as the new county
advocates had spent during th e cam
paign to create Peach county.
Th e statement referred to the of
ficial figures compiled by Houston
county officials which were said to
have shown that Houston county
would not be deprived of the majority
of her voters, and the bulk of her tax
able values should Peach county be
created.
Both sides of the controversy have
carried on active campaign for the
last few weeks. The opponents of
the amendment’s ratification sought
to show that Houston county would
los e the majority of it’s territory and
which would be taken from Macon
county. It was also charged that the
amendment was passed in the legis
lature by the “whisky”-ring who stood

ARRIVES IN CITY
THE DAVENPORTS HAVE
SPECIAL RECEIVING SET
ATTACHED TO CAR
“Taking radio to th e People,” in
a literal sens e is what is being done
by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Davenport and
their ‘‘Dashboard Special,” who left
New York, some time ago i„ an au
tomobile to visit every state in the
Union and who arrived in Brunswick
yesterday and were guests at the
Brunswick Tourists camp last night,
where they had their radio in opera
tion an d entertained a number of the
members of the camp and others.
During this trip of some forty
thousand miles, thousands of people
will be confronted with marvels of
radio through the medium of both
D;. veil ports and the “Dashboard Spe
cial,” which, it may be, explained, is
an automobile receiving set with a
loop aerial in front of the wind
shield and the receiving apparatus
on the dashboard. The primary pur
pose of the trip si to arouse the good
citizens of the United States to the
miracle in their midst.

“Forty thousand miles by automo
bile haven’t cqred us of gypsing”
said Mrs. Davenport. We left New
York to follow the old train again, the
trial we first took on October 1920.
We are first traveling through the
south and from Florida will sail to
Cuba and West Indies, the n w e will
take the Arganauts’ trail to the west.
We’ll speed along the wonderful
Lincoln highway to Denver and Salt
Lake City to the jubilant strains of,
our ‘dashbiard special.’ Thence we
will go to Portland and Seattle, and
will continue our trip into every state

Both Mr. and Mrs. Davenport are

HEAVY VOTE IN
STATE ELECTION
EXPECTED HERE
Senatoral Race and Peach
County Fight to Bring Out
Many Voters.
LIVELY TURN YESTERDAY
IN SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN
Arrival of Brinkins, Colored
Politician Fromo Camden, Es
pousing Cause of One Candi
date- Starts Pot Boiling.
I Ordinarly only a small percentage
of registered voters oast their bal
; lot s a t a general election, due to the
i fact that there is never any oPposiion
; to the regular Democratic nominees,
, but today i n Glynn county it is ex
| pected that an unusually heavy vote
| will be polled, both because of the
| spirited senatorial race in the Fourth
district and the lively campaign be-
I ing waged for and against th e crea
tion of P e ace county.
The former contest, of course, is
I attracting the most attention and will
! draw a large number of voters to
I the polls. Jus t how many votes will
be cast was not predicted last night
i by either side, but, as there are ap
proximately seventeen hundred qual
ified in the county, it is likely that
at least half the number will vote.
The two candidates for the senate
are Jas. T. Vocelle, the regular nortfc
inee of the Democratic Party, and C.
S. Arnow, independent candidate,
both of Camden county and both re
siding at St. Marys. Mr. Vocelle was
nominated in the September primary
over Jack Liles by a majority of
forty votes and it was thought that
the senatorial question was settled,
opposition developed and at a
meeting a few weeks ago at Kings
land Mr. Arnow was nominated by
a newly-organized Citizens League.
Since then charges and counter
charges have been made by friends
of the two candidates, the battle has
been carried into Glynn and Charl
ton, the two other counties composing
the Fourth district and a spirited
bitter campaign has been waged, in
which much bitternes s has bee n in
jected and considerable mud hurled.
As Glynn county has as many reg
istered voters as the other two com
bined, this city has been the storm
center of the campaign for the Past
few days, and the people generally
have been pretty well worked up over
it.
A development yesterday which
added much to th e campaign was the
arrival in the city of E. W. Brinkins,
of Camden county, who at once went
Into conference with local republican
Politicians with a view of assisting
the candidacy of Mr. Arnow. It was
stated that two or three small meet
ings wei'e held last night, as a re
sult of Brinkins’ visit, and that the
negroes of the city had about de
cided to solidly support the independ
ent candidate.
Friends of Mr. Anow i n Brunswick
stated that they had nothing what
ever to do with th e coming of Brink
ins to the city, while on the other
hand Mr. Vocell’s friends said that
the injection of the negro politician
could hardly be charged to them in
asmuch as he was opposing the
Democratic nominee. Anyway the
arrival of Brinkins was considerably
discussed in all sections of the city
yesterday.
The Polls will ope n at the court
house thi s morning a t 7 o’clock and
will close at 6 this afternoon. In

TWENTY-FIVE WERE
KILLED OUTRIGHT
News of Explosions Brings the
Wives and Children of En
tombed Men to Mine Shaft
in Dumb Horror.
Spangler, Penn., Nov. 6.Fifty
five of the ninety miners entomed in
•the Reilly coal mine today hy an ex
plosion were unaccountd for early to
night- Twenty-five were killed
outright and fourteen badly injured
so far as known.
Rescue crews of the Bureau of
Mines and also of the Cambria Steel
company are working unceasingly in
short shifts. Some members of the
parties looked behind the walls and
found a smooth place on the tim
ber barrier which gives the hope that
the men are behind it and safe but
the gases are still too dangerouß to
allow breaking down as yet. A Red
Cross relief station has been estab
lished .
A trifle explosion somewhere in
the workings in the mine of the
Reilly Coal Company here at 7:30
o'clock this morning entombed ninety
five miners who had gone to their
work scarcely half an hour before.
Superintendent O. J. Flanigan at
once organized a rescue party from
the employes in the vicinity and en
tered the mine.
More resuce cars were at once or
dered from pittsburg and some point
in New York state, while news of tha
explosion, spreading rapidly through
this region, brought scores of miners
eager and anxious to help in the
work of rescu.e. They were organized
in two hours to take places of the
first shift when it came out of the
mine.
Most of the men who went to work
this morning were married and re
sided in this vicinity. The news of
the explosion brought tapir wives and
children to the shaft mouth where
they gathered in dumb humor hoping
against hope.
The shaft, which is about 200 feet
deep, was not damaged by the ex
plosion and the cage continued to
operate. It was said by mine au
thorities that one of the main en
tries was blocked by falling debris
about 500 feet from the foot of the
shaft.
There is a man-way which makes
another entrance to the mine but
whether the entombed men had been
cut off from it had not been de
termined.
TO THE RESCUE.
Pittsburgh, Nov. 6.—The mine
rescue section of the bureau of mines
was notified this morning of an ex
poisons in the Reilly mine near
Spangler. Pa., and sent a rescue car
from this place to proceed to the
mine. Another car which was in New
York state also was ordered to
Spangler.
The Reilly mine is a shaft some
200 feet deep and normally employs
about 125 men. It is -owned by
Joseph H. Reilly Coal Company of
Philadelphia, and produces about
125,000 tons a year.
