SHIPPERS URGED
TO ASSIST ROADS
In Making Use of Rolling Stock-De-
lays At Terminals Can Also Be
Cut Down By Exercise of
Cooperation.

Washington, Sept. -Manufactur
ers and shippers in general were urg
ed to assist American railroads II
making fullest use of their rolling
stock in an appeal issued today by thu
railroad commission of the United
States chamber of commerce. By CO.
operation in loading freight cars
nearer to maximum capacity anc
cutGng down delays in loading and
unloading at terminals, the commit.
tee, said shippers can accomplish the
same effect that would be secured
if $4,000 cars could be added i'm.
mediately to railroad equipment
Under present economic conditions
it was added, the ailroads can not oh.
tain the cars at reasonable prices OF
make terminal improvements tina
might expedite their movement.
An average freight car spends 81
per cent. of it's time awaiting loading
or unloading by shippers or receivers
the committee estimated; 43 per cent
moving between terminals, and nins
ing movement; II per cent. in train
moving between terminals; and inc
per cent. in shops. It was suggested
that shippers voluntarily reduce the
time cars are kept by them to %
hours which practice, if adopted
the committee said would produce the
same improvement in transportation
facilities than an addition of 100000
cars would involve.
The average freigh car capacity, it
was added, is 41.6 tons, while the
average actual load carried is 27.s
tons. Cooperating with roads to raise
the average load to 80 tons, the COM
mittee said, and also using care to
avoid damage to cars, reducing re-
pairs, would accomplish the balance
cf the results desired.

MUSIC SITTING ROOM

Willie Harris, of Harris and Cal,
vert, says that he is not running a
music parlor but a music sitting
room. A parlor is place in which
you can stay for a little while only
at a time. You soon get tired of the
parlor. But, not so with the sitting
room. That is the place where the
family gathers, where good friends
are invited, and where everybody
feels at home. That is the kind of g
music place Willie is running, so he
says.
And he tells US to invite all the
good people of Abbeville County
who desire to hear good sitting
room music, good every day music
which is good for the "soul" tt
come into his sitting room and fee
at home. He will give concert any
hour of the day, he says.
In this issue he is telling yor
something about home new record!
he has to play for you. That is thu
reason the invitation is urgent.

ICE PLANT SHUT DOWN

The boiler at the ice plant has
leak making it necessary to close
down for three or four days in or

cured in Atlanta who came here to
make the repairs, but when he got
here he found it necessary to re-
turn to Atlanta to get his tools hav-
ing left them behind. No, he is not
a plumber. He is a boiler maker.
An effort is being made to get
ice elsewhere for few days, but
with no success so far.

NO INDICATIONS SO FAR
OF A RETURN OF THE FLU

Washington, Sept. 9.-There have
been no indications of a return Of
last years influenza epidemic this
winter, the public health service an
nounced today. Each year, it was
said, between November and May, a
number of cases are reported, but
experts of the service do not expect
the disease to be as widespread as
in 1919.

LABORERS LACKING
EXPERT DIRECTION
This Is A Serious Embarrassment
To Them And Causes Much
Waste Of Raw Material Re-
ports Say.

nave occupied factories throughout
Italy are embarrassed by the oppo-
sition they have encountered from
the technical and administrative
staffs of plants that have been
taken over, according to newspapers
here. The men have no adequate
direction and expert advice in car
rying on the work of the different
factories, and are declared to have
made common causes with the
workers. The Engineers association
has flatly refused to conside: this
suggestion.
The general situation throughout
Italy is reported to be without
change. At Leghorn railway men
have turned over to metal workers
occupying the plant of the Italian
Metallurgic Society several trucks
of raw material which have been ly-
ing at the loretta station. Workmen
who have been occupying the Gam
bare Steel Works in that city re-
turned to their normal program,
there being no quarrel between
them and their employers They took
over the plant, it is said, merely as
an evidence of their solidarity with
the metal workers in other parts of
the country.
Disastrous waste of raw material
in factories at Turin is reported in
a dispatch from that city to the
Giornaie Dutalia. Much of this
waste is due to the desire of the
men to convince the public that the
plants are working to full capacity
which is impossible due to the lack
of expert superintendent.
At automobile plants there the in
provised directors are said to be in
competent, and that it asserted that
the men have become discouraged
by the decrease in output and daily
are absenting themselves in increas-
ing numbers. The Giornaie Ditalia
estimates that only 20 per cent OF
the men occupying factories are
working.
English unions, it is reported,
have sent communication to the
Italian Confederation of Labor,
asking news of the metal workers
movement and expressing desire
to work in common accord with the
confederation in extending the con-
flict.
Pietro Mascagni. the composer,
was given an ovation by workmen
at the Orlando factory at Leghorn
yesterday when he visited the men,
He left a written expression of his
sympathy and before leaving made
a brief address.

WATSON TO. HAVE
GEORGIA PLACE.
NOMINATED BY DEMOCRATS
FOR SENATE. GOVERNOR NOT
NAMED-SEcOND RACE WILL
BE NECESSARY BETWEEN
CLIFFORD WALKER AND
THOMAS w. HARDWICK. WAT
SON INCREASE. MAJORITY.

Atlanta, Sept. 10.-Compilations
from 139 of the 155 Georgia coun-
ties, compiled early today by The
Constitution, indicated Watson has
1898 county unit votes; Dorsey, 10;
Smith, "a. These figures were based
party on official returns and partly
on unofficial, but served to indicate
an increase in Watson's majority.
Figures compiled at the same time
on the gubernatorial race still in
dicated that run off would be
necessary between Hardwick and
Walker. They gave Hardwick 1873;
Walker 176; Rolder, %.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 9.-Thomas
E. Watson maintained his majority
lin the contest for the Democratic
nomination on the face of incom-
Iplete unofficial returns from yester-
days primary, compiled late today
by the Atlanta Journal. sr..
Incomplete returns to the Atlanta
Constitution tonight also indicated
Watson's majority.
| A run off will be necessary to de-
eide the gubernatorial nomination
on the face of complete returns
compiled tonight by The Constitu-
ton. These gave Former United
States Senator Hardwick 100 coun-
ty unit votes; Clifford Walker, 17S;
John Holder 18. A majority of the
1888 county unit votes is necessary
for nomination. g.
The gubernatorial returns were
compiled from Office counts sent in
from all except 20 Of the 155
counties in Georgia. The remaining
20 were from the unofficial counts.
Latest figures in the senatorial
primary were from The Journal and
indicated Watson had 213 county
unit votes. Governor Dorsey 81 and
Hoke Smith, incumbent, AZ. These
were based on unofficial reports
from more than two-thirds of the
counties.
Complete returns partly official
partly from unficial totals by The
Constitution tonight on the popular
vote in yesterdays primary showed:
Senate: Watson 9s,475; Dorsey,
6O,8O1; Smith, 5O,75o; Cooper, s42.
Governor: Hardwick, S7,557;
Walker 79,S79; Holder, 23,673;
Brown, 2,497.
The county unit vote, however,
determines the result.
All reports to The Constitution
agreed with those of The Journal in
indicating that the eight Georgia
congressmen who had opposition
!, had betn nominated.
Later returns showed no changes
in standing of various state officials
as amplified today by The Journal.

cox TALKS LEAGUE
IN THE FAR WEST
ADAPTED 10 Ar
FAIRS OF THE WEST ARE
USED. DEMOCRATIC NOMi-
NEE SAYS AMERICA MUST
REMOVE DOUBT, DlSTRUSI
AND GROWING HATRED
AGAINST THIS COUNTRY.

Helena, Mont, Sept. -9.-Argu,
ments in behalf of the league OF ma
tlons adopted to affairs of the West
were presented here today by Gov
ernor James NJ. Cox, democratic
presidential candidate. He outlined
what he declared were practical ma
terial benefits to flow from the
league.
ut has recently been figured"
said the governor, that the cost OF
one battleship would reclaim two
million acres of land.
Multiply this by 4S the number
of states adopting the plan of one
battleship for each state and you
have a staggering total, and II
properly applied, answers the prob
lem of housing in our cities, an
swers the question of increased pro-
duction for sustenance of human
life. The expenditure required in
total would reclaim 100000 square
miles Of waste it would build ten
permanently paved arteries entirely
across the United States.
Think of this in terms of re-
clamation of arid and waste lands,
if you will, and think what it would
mean to have one million men, ex-
elusive of thousands required in
shipyards and ammunition plants,
turning their activities to the pro-
duction of the necessaries of life,
rather than to employment in the
creation of agencies for the de-
struction of life"
The governors speech here after
a few rear-platform addresses en-
route opened the final day of his
Montana campaign. He came here
from Great Falls and was scheduled
to speak late today at Anaconda
and at Butte tonight.
Urging the league, Governor Cox
told his Helena audience that the
United States is looked upon cas- a
nation of cutters, self-prosperous
and self-satisfied, while out asso-
ciates as we'll as our enemies in
Europe are starving to DEATH"
america cannot enter into the
period of prosperity to which we are
entitled" he said, until the doubt
and distrust and the growing hatred
against US, created by the apostles
of hate in the senatorial oligarchy
have been removed"
Governor Cox also inveighed
against a separate peace with Ger
many and urged world disarma-
ment.
Republican financing and the
senatorial oligarchy'' came in for
more criticism and the candidate re-
iterated his preachment of pro.
gress as against reactionarism.
