In Kentucky Prison

trie Kimbrough, alias Will Lockett,
convicted slayer of Geneva Hartman
and confessed slayer of four other
women, died in the electric chair at
Eddyville prison at 4:32 a. m. this
morning.
Guards appeared at Kimbrough's
cell in death row at Ala a. M, and
Immediately escorted the negro to the
chair house. There were slight signs
of emotion in his face as he was
placed in the electric chair and the
black cap lowered over his head.
Prisoner Electrician Collier turned
on the current which killed KIM
brough within fifteen seconds.
Two brothers of the Hardman girl
and seventeen Lexington citizens. to-
gether with eight soldiers and twelve
prison guards, witnessed the execu-

out without hitch in pre-arranged
plans.
The negro refused to make state
ment when he was taken from his
cell Continually, however, during
the night he was heard praying aloud
and singing religious hymns. He de-
clared yesterday that he was ready
to die and that he prayed for the lit

he killed, and the entire Ffardman

IN NATION
SHOW INCREASE
FOR TWO MONTHS

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE cen
sus bureau in Washington is pub
fishing vital statistics for 1920 as
fast as they can be compiled, but
informa ton gathered indicates that
the enumerators will never catch up
with the population.
Reports from cities throughout the
country showed a general increase
in births during the first two months
of this year, compared with, the cor
responding period of last year. This
increase was practically uniform in
all sections. Milwaukee and Seat
tie were the only places to report
decrease.
Adoptions, wherever figures were
available, generally showed even a
greater ratio of increase than births.
Many cities reported a commensu-
rate decrease in the number of ba-
bies abandoned by their parents. The
desire of mothers who cannot sup
port their babies to assure good
home TO" them, rather than trust
to the comparative uncertainty of
an institution, has been evinced
through several instances of babies
being "auctioned off" in some, cases
even before birth. Persons adopt
ing babies generally want them ex-
tremely young. Girls appear to have
a slightly better chance than boys
of obtaining foster parents.
New York reported 22,535 births
this year, compared with 21,165 last
wear. Foster parents usually prefer
girl babies one year of age or I'M

CLARK DECLINES
USE OF NAME IN
PRIMARIES HERE
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau)
623 Riggs Building.
ny. THEODORE TTLLER

WASHINGTON, March 11.-One
more candidate is dropped from the
presidential primary ballot in Geor-
gia by the letter sent to Secretary
Gardner, Of the state committee, by
former Speaker Champ Clark, Of Mis-
souri,.
1t is known tMat Mr.. Clark feels
that If he should enter the Georgia
primaries he wsNld be under a sort
of obligation to enter other states,
and Mr.. Clark wants uninstructed
delegations to San Francisco. He is
also averse to having his name go on
the Georgia ballot when he is unable
to go to that state and make a cam
paign. In other words, Mr.. Clark
does not want his name on the Geor-
gia ballot unless he gets actually
into the running and makes a fight
for the delegation from Georgia and
this he is not inclined to do.
Letter to Gardner
Mr.. Clark's views were expressed
in the following letter to Hiram L.
Gardner, of Eatonton, secretary of
the Georgia Democratic committee:
IT am profoundly grateful to my
Georgia friends who have suggested
that my name should be placed on
the ticket at the preferential presi-
Dental primary.
my own opinion is that it is best
not to do that. In my judgment the
CHI IA
absolutely a consulting body to do
two things:
"1st-Adopt a thoroughly Demo-
cratic platform made of time-tried
and fundamental Democratic prin-
ciples progressive and up-to-date;
"2d-On such Democratic platform
nominate the ablest and most thor
ough-going Democrat that can be
found.
mo man will decline a presiden-
tial nomination rendered freely by a
great party, for the presidency of
the United States is not only the
most powerful office known to our
political system, but the greatest ever
devised by the wit Of man. 1t should
not be bestowed On any man to graft
fly his personal ambition but solely
for the good Of the country; for
the only reason for political party
is to>promote the prosperity, the hap
piness and glory Of the American
people; so believing, think it would
be fortunate for both the party and
the country If all the delegates to
San Francisco should go uninstruct-
ed SO as to be free after consulta-
ton to agree on the best men pos
sible for president and vice presi-
dent on platform thoroughly Demo
cratic in every plank.
1.-THE record of the Democratic adj
ministration and the Democratic con-
gress is beyond all praise. On 1t
we stand and on it we should win
to the end that the national and state
governments shall be maintained in
their full constitutional vigor and
that law and order may prevail every
where under our flag. But even If
we should fail with such a plat
form and such candidates, our party
would emerge from the contest in
splendid fighting trim for future con-
flicts."

Why Druggist Recommend

Editor R0zve, Of AthenS

never to have any primary or any
election"
Thomas J. shaclleford, a promi-
nent Athens lawyer and one Of the
leaders in the American Cotton as
ISOLATION, is just back from Arkansas
and other western states in the in
terest of the association.
II was astonished to find such a
general sentiment for Hoover in that
part of the country" he told The
Journal correspondent.
His brother, Frank Shackleford, Is
one of the most enthusiastic Hoover
supporters in the state, and one or
the severest critics of the action Of
the subcommittee.
Harry Eodgson's Views
Harry Hodgson is one of the lead
ing business men of this section Of
the state He is for Hoover, out
spokenly and emphatically. He is
outraged over the action of the sub
committe, which, as he says, amounts
to complete Acknowledgement, so far
as he Is concerned.
"Do we want to elect a Democrat
ic PRESIDENT" said. he, discussing the
matter with The Journal correspond
ent. do we want to keep the con-
troll of the government in Demo-
cratic hands? Do we want to put
new life, new power and new en-
thusiasm in the Democratic party?
Certainly we do. Then how shall we
go about it.? Is there any better
way to do it than by electing Demo-
cratic president? If there is, would
like for the subcommittee to tell me
what it is.
"No president either Democratic
or Republican, has ever been elected
by a mere calling of the roll Of the
members Of his party, and none ever
will be. The independent vote is
always the deciding factor in a
presidential election. This year that
vote is a great deal more numerous
and a great deal more independent
than ever before. A strict party vote
willvnot win this year for General
Wood as the Republican nominee, or
for anybody nominated by the Demo-
cratic party.
Certainly the Republicans haven't
any idea in the back part of their
heads Of nominating Hoover. Why,
because his identification is very de-
Cidedly with the Democratic admin
istration. He is in a way a member
of President Wilson's cabinet. He
came out of the war with the most
brilliant reputation of any man in
any country. If his political princi-
pies were in accord with the Republi-
can party I have no doubt they would
nominate him. But they are not in
accord with what the Republicans
stand for. They embody the very
essence of democracy. It is gen
orally conceded everywhere that
Hoover will command a larger sup
port among the independent vote than
any other candidate we could nomt-
nate. If we want to win, let's NOM
mate him. If we want to lose, let's
put up a politician who represents
nothing but partisanship, and kiss
the presidency goodbye"
Petition For Hoover
Mr.. Hodgson is preparing to
launch a petition addressed to the
subcommittee requesting them to
rescind their action with reference
to Hoover and permit the Democrats
of Georgia free and untrammeled
expression. 1t was his intention to
start the petition two weeks ago, but
he had to go to New York on bust
ness and has just got back.
"I am satisfied I can get a
thousand names signed to it without
anv difficultV" said he,

BY ROGERS WINTER,
(staR Correspondent of The Journa.

(staR Correspondent of The Journal)
ATHENS, Ga, March 11.-Hoover
supporters are so numerous in Ath-
ems that all you have to do is to
stand on a street corner in the down.
town district and stop them as they
come by. Undoubtedly the former
food administrator would carry
Clarke county if his name were al
lowed on the ballot Of the prefer
entail primary.
The situation here furnishes an
interesting commentary on the &C
ton of the b-committee in ruling
him off the ballot on the ground that
he is not Democrat. Probably it
will be conceded that no community
in the state is more intelligent or
patriotic than this. Here in the en-
virons of the University Of Geor-
gia has been developing for genera
lions an atmosphere of public spirit,
of intelligent citizenship, of culture
and refinement, of staunch democ-
racy. Certainly there is no local
constituency in Georgia better quail
flied to pass upon the democracy of
Herbert Hoover than are the voters
Of this city and county. And against
the. action of the subcommittee on
rules of the Democratic state execu-
tive committee, barring Hoover from
the ballot because, in effect, the
Democrats of Georgia have no bust
ness to vote for him, is ranged an
overwhelming sentiment here that
Hoover's democracy is perfectly
sound and that his availability is
far superior to that of any other
candidate the Democratic party could
nominate.
One of Hoover's staunchest sup
porters here is Judge Andrew Cobb,
whose father was the famous
Howell Cobb, Democratic speaker of
the national house of representa-
tives. Judge Cobb has served on
the supreme court of Georgia with
eminent distinction. During the war
he was a clarion-voiced leader in
every patriotic enterprise and the in
veterate enemy of disloyalty and
slackerism, He is satisfied with
Hoover's democracy and is deeply

primary.

torials criticizing the action of the
subcommittee, was interviewed by

committee ruled Hoover off the bal

Gus piece of petty politics. What ]
have had to say about the subcom-

concerning the members of the sub
