Congressional RACE IS
LIVELY OVER THE DISTRICT
VISITOR SAYS 1T is HARD TO
PREDICT WHO WILL BE
NOMINATED.

Il have been over a majority of the
&C unties in the Eleventh congress
ionaI district during the past two
weeks" said well-known visitor to
the city yesterday, "and l tell you
it is hard to decide who is going to
be nominated for congress at the ap-
preaching primary
The visitor stated that in many
counties, the contest was attracting
great attention and that the voters
were more interested in it than any
other race to be decided at the pri-
mary. Il find in many counties that
beth sides are claiming a victory,
the refore it is hard to tell who will
really carry the county. 1 believe
Colonel Walker will win in Lowndes,
Echols, Brooks, Pierce, jeff Davis,
ard Clinch, while Judge Parker will
carry Ware, Glynn, Irwin, Charlton,
and probably Appling. I consider the
others doubtful, with both sides now
claiming victory. In Coffee especially
hard fight is beng made for both
the candidates and it is admitted by
bott sides that the race in that coun-
ty is very close"
Other reports which have reached
tn city recently are to the same eff
feet, and it is generally admitted the
candidate who carries the -four or
five counties placed in the doubtful
coltmn by both the candidates will
rec eive the nomination.

PUSHED GIRL FROM PEW
AND BEATING JUSTIFIED

Rome, Ca, Aug. S.-When you push
a person from church seat onto the
floor, and then get a beating for it,
You have no legal recourse in Geor
:gia
This is the status today as a result
of court action brought here by w
H Floyd, prominent member of the
Maple Street Baptist church. FLOYD
is alleged to have pushed the 16-year-
oil daughter of Thomas Parker from
thu end of church seat, and 70 have
seEt her sprawling into the aisle.
Parker whipped Floyd with his fists
as a result.
Floyd carried the matter to the
courts, and Judge Breach yesterday
refused to bind over the irate father
for assault and battery.

NO INTEREST HERE IN
GUBERNATORIAL RACE
COUNTY WILL LIKELY GO FOR
JACK SLAToN BY A LARGE
MAJORITY.

Even the entrance into the guber-
material race of Hooper Alexander
has not aroused the voters of Glynn
ccl1ty, AID, for the first time in
many years, the people of this county
are manifesting but little interest IN
the three-cornered race now in prog
ress for governor.
1t is generally conceded on all
sides that Jack Slaton will get a
large majority of the votes in this
county. OF course it is expected that
the straight prohibition vote of the
county will go to Alexander, while
} }" Hill Hall, the third candidate, al
SO has friends here who will vote for
him, but Slaton will, in all probabil-
it7, have large plurality over both
his opponents.
While there are large number of
other contests to be decided at the
Urinary on August 21, the voters of
the county are displaying no interest
in any of them. Two or three of the
members of the railroad commission
are opposed, there are a number of
candidates for justices of the court
Of appeals; two candidates are out
TO: attorney general, commissioner of
agriculture and other state house OF
fees, but it is doubtful if there are
half dozen voters in Glynn county
who are sufficiently posted on the
situation to even name all of the
candidates.
The only contests to be decided at
the primary which is interesting the
local voters is that for congress and
solicitor of the Brunswick circuit.

GEORGIA MAY OPPOSE REMOVAL

kiaILegislature to Protect the Body
Now on Cumberland.

fight will likely soon be in prog
ress over the removal of the body of
Light Horse" Harry Lee, which has
beeE resting for many years on Cum
berland island.
Definite steps have been taken by
the Virginia legislature to recover the
remains of their hero, who died on
Cumberland while enroute to his home
from Cuba in 1918, ,swhile the D A. R.
OF Georgia have taken steps to pre-.
ver. the removal of the body and at
its recent state meeting, held in Ma
rietta, passed resolutions requesting
the Georgia legislature to oppose the
fight to be made by Virginia to re-
GOV er and remove the body to the
Virginia home of the hero. So far
however, no action has been taken
by the Georgia solons, and it is not
known what will be done in the event
an effort is made to remove the body
The following on the subject, show
ing the efforts being made by Vir
ginfa to remove the body, was sent
out from Richmond:
Hugh A. White of Rockbridge
chairman of the special committee ot
th4 Virginia legislature to supervise
the transfer of the body of Light
Horse Harry Lee from Cumberland
Island, Ga, to Virginia, reports thai
he 2as obtained the formal request o.
some members of the Lee family fol
disinterment and hopes to hear fav
orably from a sufficient number ot
other survivors to satisfy Andrew CflW
negie, owner of Cumberland isl1S.
who has refused to allow the bodk tc
BE- removed to Virginia unless sur
ViEing members of the Lee family CO.
ope rate in the request for removal.
"Mr. White, while in Richm md en-
route to the annual meeting of the
state bar association at Old Point,
said that he hoped to have every
thing in proper shape in the course
OF few weeks. He believes the ac-
quiescence of the leading members of
the Lee family in the undertaking will
overcome the protests of the patrio-
tic societies Of Georgia which wish
the body of the revolutionary hero
and father of Gen. Robert E. Lee to
COZ tinue undisturbed in it's present
resting place
IAN act was passed by the last
Virginia legislature for the removal
of the body to Virginia, and if the
plar is carried through it will be
placed in the Lee vault at Lexing
ton
"The act sets forth the wish of the
people of Virginia thar the body of
this distinguished citizen should fin
all rest in his native state. He was
buried in Georgia because he died on
the island while returning from trip
to Cuba in search of health"

POWDER MAGAZINE EXPLODED
NIGHT, SETTING FIRE TO
THE BUILDING.
CAUSE EXPLOSION UNKNOWN
Accident Occurred at Night While the
President Was Asleep and No Cause
has Yet Been Assigned for tre Ex-
plcsion.

Port au Prince, Hayti, Aug. s-Gen.
Circinnatus Leconte, president of the
republic of Hayti, perished today in
a fire, which destroyed the national
palace. 1t was caused by an explos-
10 of the powder magazine attached
to the palace.
The explosion occurred at 3.15 this
morning, and the shock shattered the
palace. Fire followed, and the palace,
wooden structure, was consumed
within half an hour. During the fire
there were great number of explo
sions of munitions of war in the eel
lals below the palace.
All the nearby houses were greatly
damaged by the explosion, but, as the
palace itself was isolated the ffremen
succeeded in their efforts to localize
the fire.
The members of the family of the
president, all of whom were in the
palace at the time, were saved, but
President Leconte himself perished In
the flames.
CONSERVATION reigns among the
population, but the military authori-
tiAs; are maintaining order in town.
Both the chamber and the senate
have been called together in national
asst mbly and probably will nominate
successor to President Leconte to-
night Gen Tancrede Auguste, sem
ator, formerly minister of public
works, and Senator Luxemberg Cal
vim formerly minister of the interior,
are candidates.
The cause of the explosion of the
powder magazine has not been ascer-
tanned. Later Investigations showed
the. the casualty list in dead and in
wounded amounted to four hundred
persons.
Was Accidental.
Washington, Aug. S.-The Haitien
minister to Washington, Solon Menos,
today received from his government
word that the explosion resulting in
Leconte's death and burning of the
palace was accidental and caused by
a fire in the powder magazine.
HIS POLITICAL LIFE.
Cincinnatus Leconte was elected
unanimously by congress president of
Hayti on August IA last.
He first gained prominence IN Hal
ten affairs in 1868, when as minister
OF the interior in the cabinet of Pres-1
ident Nord Alexis he was credited
with ordering the summary shooting
of ten prominent revoiutionaries =.
Port au Prince.
Shortly after the regime of Nord
Alexis was brought to an end, Leconte
went into exile in Jamaica While
there he intrigued against the new
president, Simon, and in January 1911,
started revolution against him,
which was, however, short lived. The
insurgents were defeated and Leconte
took refuge in the German consulate
at Cape Haitien, later being sent from
tn island under German protection.
Leconte returned to Hayti in May
las1 year, and succeeded in overthrow
in. President Simon. He was mu-
latto between 40 and so years of age

ALLEGED STATEMENT OF SOCIAL

few STARTLING DISCLOSURES
Interest in Bribery Feature of DarroW
Case Takes Second Place to Alleged
Socialist Part-Case Resumed in Los
Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 8.-The al
legged connection between the men
who blew up the Times building in
Los Angeles and Job Hartman, soci-
alisl leader and labor attorney, over
shadowed the main issue involved
wien the bribery trial of Clarense
S. DarrOw was resumed today.
Judge Hutton was expected to rule
when court convened on the aomis-
stability of the testimony OF Edward
Adams Cantrell, another socialist
leader, which the prosecution declar-
ed would serve the double purpose of
impe aching Hartman and showing
him as having guilty knowledge of the
perpetrators of the Times explosion.
Cantrell and Hartman broke up
thei! friendship some months ago. The
Impeachment question, which had been
denied by Hartman and which was
expected to be answered in the af-
firmative by Cantrell, should the court
PEI NIT it, contained in substance the
following allegations:
Hartman ExcIaims.
That Hartman had said to Cantrell
on the morning of October l at San
Luis Obispo, Cal:
BY God, Cantrell; the Times build
ing has been dynamited and some
thing like twenty people killed"
to his room in hotel, locked the
door, and then burst into a fit of
laughter, after which Cantrell said:
What does it mean?" Hartman re-
piled; "It means the boys are on the
job"
That few minutes later Hartman
said: Il have known for some time
that preparations were being made
to pull off the job" and that, in the
resulting conversation, Hartman told
Cartrell he had been in consulta ton
with the plotters and had begged them
to postpone the matter until after the
state socialist convention.
That Cantrell at the time was the
0OSloiloe CahuIudto LII SeCleIdly vi
state, and last fall he ran for a mem
Der of the board of education on the
ticket which Hartman headed as a
candidate for mayor.
According to Hartman, Cantrell
was his ardent supporter and warm
friend until a recent split among the
California socialists, when he became
bitter enemy
