RIOT ON TROLLEY CAR.
After a Drawn Battle Passengers Re.
sumo Their Seats.

New York, September IA large party
returning from the Zion cemetery, Queens
cot nty, to this city, became involved in
riot and about two dozen men, women
and children were injured.
The trouble started shortly after the
three trolley cars had left the cemetery
for the Long Island City ferry. The con-
ductor of one Of the cars, finding II I'm
possible to collect fare from a passenger
brought the car to a stop.
An argument ensued, during which the
conductor was struck on the head with
a loaded cane. He called TO the motor
man, while the passengers rallied around
their comrade. Employees from other cara
hurried forward ard a fierce fight en-
sued. Passengers who were not armed
with canes drew trowels. which some
had brought from home to use in the
cemetery.
After drawn battle the passengers re-
sumed their seats and the car proceeded.
The trouble broke out afresh when Cal.
vary cemetery was reached. This time
the three motormen and conductors vera
reinforced and got the better of the ar
gument. Finally the cars were boarded
again and reached Long Island City
without trouble.

Paine'S Celery

The unhappy victim of disease and suf-

fering and almost physical wreck, must
make immediate choice of two paths. One
leads to increased miseries and certain
death, the other to new life, health and
happiness.
The use of Paines Celery Compound is
a necessity for all who seek the path Of
health and long years. Victims of rheuma-

disease from my system. I had also been
afflicted with kidney disease, as most

UNIONTOWN
Excessive Heat and Drouth Have
Brought Large Cotton Receipts.

Uniontown, September 1.-(Special)-
The excessive heat and drouth have
brought the heaviest receipts of cotton
for August at this place ever known,
Notwithstanding the fact that the COM
pletion of the branch of the Louisville
has cut off a large portion of the terri
tory. Last year the first bale of cotton
was received here August 20. This year
the first bale was received on the eighth
and would have come in several days
before that if the ginneries had been
running Generally the receipts here
amount to one or two hundred bales.
but the past month the receipts ran up
to 1929 bales. Unless the rains of the
past few days make an unexpected change
in the cotton the bulk of the cotton crop
has been gathered in many fields.
This section has had plenty of rain
during the past week and 1t will be of un-
told benefit as water had become so
scarce that it was being hauled from
here to the country for a distance of
nine miles and there was great distress
on that account. The rains have been
of great benefit to potatoes, hay and
gardens and possibly to the cotton crop.
Editor r. E. Lovelass, having sold his
home here, his family will leave tomorrow
for their new home at Dothan. Mr.. Love-
lass will not be able to leave yet as he
has not succeeded in selling his paper,

Among the many measures proposed for
discussion at the next session of the
Mississippi legislature is a law prohibiting

siderable attention from the press of the
state.
The animus of the proposed measure Is
the fact that the average negro always

and at least five times the number of
spectators, rooters, etc.
The nuisance is being complained OF
with especial bitterness In the delta,
and landlords are at loss for some method
to wean their tenants away from the
sport, but sthe inducement has not yet
been discovered which will take a negro
away from ball game after 1t has once

The suggestion is made that a general
law should be passed prohibiting the
game of baseball between the first of
September and the first of January each

The Journal this afternoon contains the
following interview:
Mr.. Chappell Cory was asked this morn
ing whether he still had any hopes of
being in the run OFF, for superintendent
of education, and replied: No. eonced-
ed the second place to Major Harris on
Wednesday by 1000 votes. His lead will
not much vary from those figures"
Mr. Cory was asked whether Major
Harris will go into the second fight and
replied: Il presume so. I saw him on
Thursday and he expressed the utmost
confidence in his ability to win"
Mr.. Cory was also asked what he
thought about it and answered: The
major ought to carry every county south
of the seventh district, except Lee and
Macon. He is the only man in either
of the run offs" that can get out any
country vote to the polls. There is not
a rural community in Alabama, where a
single postal card will not get from five
to fifty votes to the polls for him and
him alone. On the issue now brewing
between him and Professor Hill he ought
to carry every city south of Gadsden ex-
cept Opelika."
