BAD ROADS CAUSE LOSS
OF HOME BY FIRE

The home of Lonnie Abrams, three
miles out on the Red House pike, was
completely destroyed by fire shortly
after noon Wednesday. Owing to the
fact that the roads were so bad that
the truck could not reach stream OF
water, the Richmond fire department
which responded to the call for help.
could not do anything to prevent COM
plete destruction of Mr.. Abrams
home. Nose Nelson, pilot of the big
truck, said that if Madison county
people in the, country want pro-
lection from the Richmond fire de-
partment, they will have to vote for
good roads.
Considerable furniture was resuced
from the burning house, but the loss
falls very heavily on Mr.. and Mrs,
Abrams. 1t is not known for sure
how the fire started, but it is thought
that hot ashes thrown out against the
house may have started it.
Always see l.. p. Evans, the In
surancc MIN of Richmond, before the
fire department calls on you. He
represents the best and safest COM
panies. 3O0-1t

PRESIDEN NTIAL RACES
WILL COME QUICKLY
South Dakota First State To-
Name Delegates and Candi7
dates Must Act Quick

Washington, ID. e., Nov. i y NY
Just six weeks from today the
various statements Of the rival
political parties who aspire to the
presidency Of the United States
must make known their inten-
tions, if they desire to compete
for the ten delegates to their rcl
spectivc national conventions
from South Dakota. NJ "
This probably will be news to
most, if not all, Of the candidates
themselves, but the fact it that
under the South Dakota presi-
dental preferential primary any
candidates who desire to partici-
pate in the primary in that state
must file their petitions not later
than the first Of the new year.
While the South Dakota pri-l
mary which is fixed by law for
March % is the third that VIII
be held in the coming year the
last time for filing petitions there
is earlier than in any other state.
The South Dakota law also IS
unique i'll that is requires candi-
dates to file a personal dcclara-
ton Of principles and a Statement
defining "thc issue" Of the cam.
paign in not more than eight
words. 1t is also proyidcdin the
South Dakota law that candidates
ior the presidency who secl; the
;tatc's endorsement in the pri-
nary must engage in at least one (
public debate in the state, either
n person or by designated repre-
sentative.
Many students Of politics had
expected that 1920 might witness
1 general presidential preferential
primary race but this has been
prevented by constitutional limi-
tations which precludcd the pass
lge by Congress of a law APP
plicable to the whole country.
When efforts to frame such ma
tional legislation were fmadcs
prior to the war it was discover
I'd that a law fixing a common
primary date would be impossi-
Die without the consent Of allStke
state legislatures.
Agreement by the forty-cigh.
states upon common primary
date was not considered prac-
ticable without the submission of
IN amendment to the federal
constitution which, many believe,
would encroach upon the rights
IF the states to enact their own
election laws.
While for this reason no prcsi7
Dental primary legislation has
oeen proposed by Congress, some
::wcnty-one Of the states have,
in one form or another, made
provision for choosing candidates
or presidential nominations in a.
popular manner. The majority

was killed, two injured and a patrol
nan assaulted in a fight between ne
groes and whites which broke out early
today at 135th street and Lennox ave-
nue., In the heart OF the negro section
of the city. Police reserves were sum
moued from four stations to quell the
disturbance,
The trouble was said to have started
when a man, wearing a straw hat aft
err the season for summer headgear had
closed, had II tor from his head and
broken. This led to seizure Of other
straw hats and what began as a jest
turned into a savage fight. One White
man soon was placed under arrest.
The negro was shot and killed by q
policeman in plain clothes who said
that after he had protested the seizure
of his hat a crowd of negroes had
surrounded him and raised a cry OF
lynch him" The policeman said he
had been knocked to the ground and
when he arose the crowd Threatened
to assault him again. Thinking the
negroes were about to put into execu-
ton their threat to lynch him he drew
his service revolver and fired twice,
he said.
The police cleared the streets after
| the disturbance had continued for sev
| eral hours and announced no further
trouble was anticipated.

DECLARED UNFAIR
Southern Shippers Point Out
That Traffic Arrangements
W Classified Area

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-With the
evidence Of the railroad administration
completed, at the opening session of
me rate hearing yesterday, the Southern
Shippers today pointed out to the in
terstate commerce commission the
specific cases in which they contend the
proposed Increase Of rates between Of

TO their interests.
p. Cotterill, general counsel for the
southern Traffic league, who is con-
Quoting the case for the Southern hin
pers, examined traffic representatives
from each Of the states south OF the
OHIO river in the southeastern territory,
W q, Womble. rate expert of the North

gan his testimony at yesterdays SEES
sion, analysed the rates proposed by the
carriers with a view to showing that the

contribute an unduly large share OF the
The additional revenue needed by the
railroad administration should be de-
rived from the Northern lines, which
are now showing a deficit, MIR. Cot
teril declared I'm a statement openinu
the case for the Southern shippers. He
pointed out there Is not a deficit on the
southern lines, and that for the last
three years the net earnings of he
Southern lines per mile OF road ex-
ceeded those for the Northern lines.
The local rates in Southern territory are
already higher than corresponding rates
north OF the Ohio river, he said. and
II would be unjust TO Increase the
roads.
We admit the railroads should have
additional revenue he said, but let
them get 1t from the North where the

p. F, Ripley, traffic commissioner for
the American Sugar Refining company,
objected to the Increases on Abe ground
that they would force his out
or business In North and South Caro-
Una. He said a five-cent difference.
could be absorbed. but that the pro-
posed change would set up a. ten-cent
difference which would be fatal.
