Broken Collar Bone
For Mrs. 7. W. RardWiCk

Washington, Oct. 5.-Repre-
sentative and Mrs. T. w. Hard
wick, of Georgia, narrowly escap-
ed terrible injuries, when their
electric coupe ran down an en-
bankment in Rock Creek Park
and turned over twice. Mrs.
Hardwick suffered broken COL
lar bone and the beautiful car was
demolished. In the electric coupe
at the time were the Misses Per-
kins, of Georgia, sisters of Mrs.
Hard wick. They escaped with
only few bruises as did Repre-
sentative Hardwick, who was
driving.
Drilling rain made the Park
roads slippery and at bad turn
the car skidded and got beyond
the control of Mr.. Hardwick.
The injured occupants were all
taken to their apartments in the
Wyoming, and it was said today
they were only suffering slightly
from shock. Representative
Hardwick was recently victorious
IN the state convention held at
Macon and was chosen United
States Senator to succeed Senator
West for the unexpired term of
Senator Bacon.

Appeal to President In
Behalf SOuth's Farmers

Washington, Oct. 5.-Southern
congressman appealed to Presi-
dent Wilson today not to consent
to an adjournment of congress
until the financial situation fac
ing cotton planters is relieved
and asked that $450,OO0, 900 in
government funds be raised for
loans to planters at three per
cent interest.
The president promised to dis
cuss the situation with Secretary
McAdoo and with other congress
sional leaders.
The delegation asked that
money for loans be raised through
the sale of $200,000,0OO worth of
Panama canal bonds, the issuance
of 5000, 900, 900 worth of United
States notes and the transfer to
the south of 100000 of gov
eminent money now deposited in
national banks. 1t was proposed
that the loans to planters be
made for periods of from nine to
twelve months at three per cent
interest on cotton at an average
price of ten cents a pound.
The delegation contended that
under the national bank law
banks may be authorized to act
as fcal agents and trustees Of
the government and that under
this provision the government
and not the banks would be re-
sponsible for the money.
The southerners declared that
if $3.50, 600, 0C0 were available the
situation would actually be called
for.
AS a precedent for sending
money to the south, the presi-
dents callers referred to the de-
post of government funds in
Dayton after the flood.
The delegation included Rep
resentatives Henry, of Texas;
Wingo, Arkansas; Hefln, Alaba-
ma; Adamson, Georgia; and
Buchanan, Texas; Senator Smith,
South Carolina, and H. S. Mob
ley, of Arkansas.

Washington, D. c., Oct. s.
Ambassador Morgonthau at Con-

funds for the relief of Americans
in the Ottoman empire. The re-

Good Wells at Healdton.

Good wells continue to be the rule
in the Healdton, Carter County pool,
which has shown only a few setbacks
since operations were started during
the past fall. Work continues to be
carried on in an active way, although
the producers in that locality decid-
ed to stop inside drilling, but wheth-
er they will or not, remains to be
seen. When an operator has a chance
to get good wells, he generally goes
ahead and takes a chance on oyerpro-
duction. The pool is becoming more
congested each day, as the pipeline
company is able to handle but 1000
bbls. day when the daily output is
approximately $4,000 bbls. 1t looks as if
the producers would have to do the
same as the Cushing operators and
get busy and build tankage. The Twin
State Oil Co. and CrCsbie & Foster
have made preparations to erect a
55,000-bbl. tank each, and other Oper-
ators are expected to follow shortly.
