night. The corner was dark. She
neither saw the heavy truck nor
heard its approach, for it was cleo
trically driven.
As the great auto bore down on
her the driver shouted, rang the bell
and threw on the brakes. Miss Cog
gin tried to jump from the path OF
the machine, but failed.
She was struck and knocked down.
The big wheels Of the truck crushed
her head and passed over the frall
6O-year-old woman. Her back was
broken and the little body, almost
crushed in two, was whirled up into
the gears of the truck, bent double.
Then the machine stopped.
Several machinists with auto tools
were called from a nearby garage and
they tenderly loosened her torn body
from the wheels of the auto which
did not carry fender. The mangled
form was Strengthened out on an am
bulance stretcher and the little old
woman, loved by thousands, breathed
her last.
In the undertaker's morgue at
1925 Wells last night, where hun
dreds of her friends had gathered,
the feeling was that fender would
have prevented her death.
ooh, why didn't they have a fen
der on the auto truck?" sobbed Miss
Margaret Haley last night. "The
fender would have given her at least
a chance for her life.

had been equipped with safety de-

Now Marshall Field & Co. has
pocketed the money that a fender
would have cost. We have lost Miss
Goggin. Is their any way that the
department store men can compare
their gain with our loss?"
Marshall Field & Co. has been
against tenders and is a member of
the State Street Retail Merchants
assn, members of which refused to
put tenders on their autos although
the fender law has been passed three
years.
Chief of Police Charles C. Healey
refused to enforce the fender law
two weeks ago because he had an
opinion from the corporation coun-
sells office which stated that the or

will be determined this afternoon.

That Travel Expense
my opponent seeks to make point
Of the fact that the travel expenses Of
the department for two years were
$32, 1909 ! have letter from the
legislative committee which investi-
gated the auditors report, showing
that this amount covers all the usual
expenses provided for by law, that it
Is regular expense under every ad-
ministration OF the department, and
that it includes the cost Of travel, ho-
tel bills, purchase of samples for
analysis, bottles and express charges,
for "a employees and attaches of the
department. This is small average
Of $18.09 per month per man.
In criticising expense accounts he
does not tell you that he made trips
to his home near Elberton at the ex-
pense of the state, and also to his
farm at Baxley, which the records
show, and that he rode in chair cars

COTTON PICKING IS
On IN GEORGIA NOW
ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 3D.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 2S.-
Wake up, niggers, it's risin' time;
Grab your sack-I'se got mine;
To de field us gwine to go;
Cotton pickin' time ergin. you know.
Hear dem niggers, how dey sing;
Cotton pickers' song-it sho do ring;
Sweetest music of de gin;
Dis am cotton pickin time ergin.
1t is cotton pickin gtime again in
Georgia, and the pickers are needing
the call of the white fields. The
rumble of heavy wagons on the streets
is now heard at the crack of day, and
the rollicking, sometimes boisterous,
merriment of the pickers is heard.
They are going by the hundreds to
gather in the fieecy staple, and the
servant problem, always strenuous in
the cotton season, is developing. Many
of the good housewives will feel a bit
more the strenuous duties of the
household, and some who are not
usually accustomed to doing so may
have to do the cooking for while.
But this comes every year, and almost
all but the newlyweds are used to it.
On the other hand, the arrival of
cotton picking time is the forerunner
of brighter, more hopeful, prosperous
times, and its coming to business
man, banker and those of all walks
of life by no means unwelcome.
Mrs. Sarah ]. Gordon, ninety-two
years of age, a well known white wo-
man, who lives in Banks county near
Commerce, has sold bale of COTTON
to a Commerce firm. Mrs. Gordon
planted, hoed and picked every pound
of this cotton herself, and kept the
cotton stored in her home in Banks
county until it reached the price or
ID cents for which she was holding it.
Her bale of cotton was graded good
and weighed 5G5 pounds.
She received IA is cents cash, or
$S4.O4 for the bale.
Mrs. Gordon, Notwithstanding her
age, is remarkably well preserved,
and is noted Off her industry.

LIQUOR INCREASING IN
SHIPMENTS IN STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 23.-In spite
of all the restrictions placed on the
shipment Of whiskey into the tsate BY
the Georgia prohibition laws which
became effective on May /, the guam
tity of liquor being shipped into At
lanta and other cities appears to be
constantly increasing.
Not only are individuals using the
lawful limit of two quarts a month up
to the very limit but recent disclos-
ures by the police have tended to show
that much greater supply than the
lawful limit is being received in the
city.
Probably the main reason for the
rapid and steady increase in the
number if shipments is the fact that
private supplies laid in before the law
became effective are now exhausted
or nearing exhaustion. This condi-
ton evidently obtains not only in At
lanta but in other cities throughout
the state.
The express company has been
forced to double its quarters here and
al numerous other large shipping
points, and still the end is not in
sight.
If the present shipping law con-
tinues on the statute books and If liq-
uor shipments continue to increase
like they have been increasing in the
past several weeks, it will not be
long before the records of liquor
shipments in the ordinaries' Offices
will be the most voluminous Of all
the records kept by these officials.
The requirements that every indi-
vidual receiving shipment shall give
his name and his family history and
make affidavit to his temperate habits
and have his name recorded in the
Office of the ordinary is becoming less
and less a deterrent.

What Jim Price Has Done
For The Farmers Of Georgia

Commissioner of Agriculture J. d.
Price submits his candidacy to the
voters Of Georgia, upon his record OF
service in making the department an
institution OF positive value and help
fulness to the farmers Of this state.
Commissioner Price has not only
given his time and earnest attention
to the well recognized duties deYolv-
ing upon the department, but he has
done other things for the benefit of
Georgia farmers and at saving to the
state, not attempted by his predeces-
sors.
He introduced the plan of furnish
Ing to Georgia farmers nitrogen bac-
terra for their leguminous crops at
rs cents per acre, or actual cost,
where private concerns were charging
81 or more for the same product.
He has had taken for analysis more
home" samples of fertilizers, direct
from the barn Of the consumer, than
any other commissioner, thereby as
suring protection to the individual.
He has had taken and analyzed
more samples of fertilizers at a less
cost to the state than his predecessor.
The actual office records show that
the cost per sample under his prede-
cessor was $2.88, and in his first
term Immediately following 1t was only
$2.40, an actual saving to the state Of
AS cents on each sample.
Adheres Strictly To The Law
He has rigidly enforced the pure
food and pure feed laws at all
times to the advantage of the farm
ers and the consumers Of Georgia.
He has gone further than any other
commissioner ever attempted in the
effort to provide markets for food
crops. The records will clearly show
this.
He has disseminated more and more
accurate crop reports and has supplied
the farmers of Georgia with all avail
able information Of value to them.
He has kept in personal touch with
the farmers of Georgia insofar as the
duties Of the office would permit, has
absolutely adhered to the laws of the
state, and yet has shown the farmers
Of Georgia as many OF them have new
er known before, that THERE IS AN
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT IN
GEORGIA.
Recently there appeared in the At
lanta papers an advertisement that
said this:
Everyone dissatisfied with the
present administration of the
state agricultural department,
please communicate with ]. J.
Brown campaign headquarters"
"It will be seen from this" said
Commissioner Price, that my oppon-
ent is hard put to it to find anything
against me, since he has had to ad-
vertise for complaints In order to find
them This is a new plan in politics,

Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered In All Spheres

DETROIT, Aug. 2S.-For the first
time since 1904 when the Gould cup
was put up, the motor boat champion
ship race of America will be held
his ytar on western waters. 1t will
be decided on the Detroit river, Sep
tember 2, 4 and 5, with the mile
championships on Sept. 6. Previous
to 1915 most of the boats competing
represented eastern clubs but last
year a group of Detroit sportsmen
built and financed the racing of the
Miss Detroit, which lifted the cup
and brought it west.
This year Miss Detroit will defend
the cup against Count Mankoski's
challenger Ankle Deep Too, which
sank twice in trial trips on Long
Island Sound last year.
Among the other known contestants
will be the Miss Minneapolis, the
Hawkeye, and new craft being built

able that the defender can equal the
new worlds record holders speed.
However, the boat has been thorough
ly overhauled and the hackers believe
she can reain the trophy. The Wills
boat will be dark horse but is ex-
pected to be among the fastest of the
hydroplane type ever produced. This
craft will be driven by Johnny Milot
with Jack Beebe as mechanic, the
crew that piloted Miss Detroit last
year.
The course this year year from the
spectators standpoint will be ideal.
Thirty-mile heats will be raced each
day over the five mile course, laid on
the American side of the Detroit riv-
er, in the channels between Belle
Isle, city park and the American
shore, and the boats will be visible
from almost any point at all times.
