gressional committee so direct"
The section closed with the follow .
ing important provision to which at
tention is asked
But provided further that i'm no
case shall an election be SO held as e.
prevent the electors Of any district
from electing their own delegates"
The Taft men hold that their candi-
dates received a plurality in the Fourth
district All the delegates were voted
on by all the voters Of the state ON
this showing the Roosevelt men were
elected by big majority The Taft
men hold that this election violated the
call Of the national committee. and that

CONDUCTORS REPORT
MAKES CAUSE Mystery.

Conductor Hill who was in charge of
the train, made the following official
report soon after the accident:
Engine and three coaches turned
over and went down an embankment.
Fireman C. A. Holcomb killed, un-
known section man killed, 40 or so
wounded, some seriously. Engineer
Kitchens was badly injured. Brake
men Calhoun and Shaw are slightly
hurt. Can not assign any cause for
engine jumping track Cars left on
track, with wounded, sent to Dalton
The section gang at work on the
track had stepped to one side to per-
nit the excursion train to pass. Sew
eral men were standing on the en-
bankment when the train came down
upon them, and it is considered a mir
acle that any of them escaped Arthur
Pitcher, caught under the train, was
crushed to death William Richards
and John Shuman were buried under
the coaches. but escaped with their
lives, though badly bruised and SCARED.
Dalton Sunday schools had planned
big union picnic excursion at Var
nells for next Friday, but when the re-
ports of today's Inflated excursion
spread over the town the order for the
special train was Cancelled and the
outing abandoned.
Passengers say the train was run
ming at high rate, perhaps IS miles
an hour, when it struck the weak track
and left the rails. There was shock
which threw the passengers from their
seats and tossed children about the
coaches; then the shrill whistle as the
emergency brakes were applied-a
swaying, sickening motion as the
wheels plowed through the earthz-an1

bankment

KENT D|SBARRED
BY HIGHER COURT
Ruling Against Montgomery
County Attorney and LegiS-
lator Is Permanent.

William g. Kent. member Of the state
Legislature from Montgomery county
and former football star at the Univer-
sity of Georgia, today was permanent
ly disbarred by the supreme court from
the practice of law in Georgia.
The high court, in dismissing Kent's
appeal in point Of fact, affirmed the de-
cision of the superior court of Mont
gomery county which had adjudged
Kent guilty Of unprofessional tactics
in hiding papers from the Montgomery
county courts and arranging court rec
ords to aid his clients.
Action for disbarment in Montgom-
cry county was brought against Kent
by five Of the most prominent attorneys
in that section of the state. B. Grei-
ger A. c. sanold Eugene Talmadge,
w W. Lewis and L. c. Underwood.
They had been associated in a suit in
which Kent hid papers to delay trial
HID PAPERS FROM
COURT TO AID CLIENT.
An array OF Montgomery county at
torneys appeared against Kent in the
supreme court. The legislator defended
himself aided only by w. w Bennett
The lawyers who acted against Kent in
the supreme court were Eschol era
ham, F. II Saffold. z. J Giles and w.
c. Davis.
The record of the case shows that
Kent while defending a client in suit
involving money, deliberately hid the
original papers from the court for three
months to obtain aldelay Of the trial
Later in the same case it was discov-
cred he had been guilty Of changing the
court records to obtain more favora-
Bile judgment for this same client.
Kent who with Representative
Threat Moore. Of Butts county. and
Sandy Beaver, OF Stone Mountain,
formed for two years star trio on the
University of Georgia football team,
attracted considerable attention in the
state legislature last summer in an.at-
tempt to establish a new county ere
ated from portion Of Montgomery
county, to be known as Kent county
The county was to be named in honor
of Kents father he said, but ne usually
grinned when he was accused Of trying
to name county after himself

GROWING OLD.

A little more tired at the close of day:
A little less anxious to have our way;
A little less ready to scold and blame
A little more care OF brothers name /;
And 80 We are nearing the journey s
Where time and eternity meet and
blend.
A little less care for bonds and gold.
A little more zest in the days of old,
A broader view and a saner mind,
And little more love for all mankind:
And so we are faring a-down the way
That leads to the gates Of a better day.
A little more love for the friends OF
youth.
A little less zeal for es ablished truth,
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news;
And 30 we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close Of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen,
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long-loved and
dead;
And so we are going to where all must
go,
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, few more
tears.
And we shall have told our increasing
years;
The book is closed and the prayers are
said.
And we are part Of the countless
dead.
Thrice happy, then, if some soul can
say:
IT live because he has passed my way
