linquish it's claim on the home of

in Campbell county to obtain the
home in an effort to cover as COM

Farmer-Heir Decides It's
Best to Stick to His
PloW

BOYLESTON, Mass. Aug. 3. -
There's at least one man in Massa-
chusetts who can't be lured away
from doing his duty in harvesting
the crops of his employer, even
though he has been notified that he's
one of the heirs to a $2,00O,000 estate.
He's David Cant of this place, 81
years old, a bachelor, and one of the
best farm hands in the country.
I'm not going to leave my boss
now," he says. The biggerest hay
crop of years is waiting to be har-
vested. That would be poor graft
tude, wouldn't it?"
So until that crop is harvested and
F. C. Stark, his employer, gives him
leave to go on the first vacation he's
had in nine years, David Cant will
continue to do his share.
Cant left his home in Dundee,
Scotland, 20 years ago. He arrived
IN Boston and went to work on a
farm. He found peace and enjoy.
ment there. And finally because OF
delays in the mail he stopped writing
to his family.
Seven years ago his father died
and every effort was made to reach
Cant. Finally, through an advertise
ment in a Boston paper, ne was
found.
He has never averaged more thar
S22 a month as farm hand but man
aged to save a little.
81 didn't marry" says he, be
cause | didn't see a girl over here
that I wanted. But there is lit,
tie Scotch girl on the other side anc
if she's still there I'll bring her back
to the best country in the world"
The estate left by Cant's father
amounts to nearly $2,000,O0O and
David's part has increased because OF
the seven wears that has elapsed since
it was left to him.
'But Pm always going to work OF
my farm" says he. THE world |;
too much in need of food for any
man who knows farming to be idle

Red Apples Madden
Bull; Wrecks Store

ATLANTA, August "a mad
bull barricaded himself in a produce
store on Flat Shoals avenue, and af-
ter smashing everything in the shop
to bits, including the cash register,
defied anybody or anything to drive
him out.
The bull was first angered by the
sight of very red barrel of apples
in front of the store, and after de-
molishing the barrel, scattering ap-
pies in every direction, he went into
the store to complete the devastation.
The clerks Jumped through the win
dows and the proprietor ran upstairs.
A half hour later, just as it had
been decided to send for rifle and
shoot the bull, the animal decided of
itself to walk out of the store, and
calmly proceeded on the road to the
slaughter house.

DORSEY ELOQUENT AS HE
TELLS STATES GREATNESS

Following is the text, in part, of
Governor Dorsey's address of wei
come last night to the Arkansans
at the Rotary-Kiwanis banquet at the
Windsor hotel:
81 am glad to welcome you, gentle
men, not only in behalf of the good
people of this section, but in behalf
of approximately three million peo-
pie OF the whole state of Georgia.
We are glad to have you with us and
| am glad to have the opportunity
of giving you a few words of well
come. l have been introduced with
the statement of the POSTMASTER that
what l would say would be "sweeten-
ed wind" | am not going to give
you any sweetened wind, but | am
going to give you some facts, for |
do not believe / will be violating the
proprieties of this occasion by giving
you some of the assets of Georgia.
From the standpoint of business
and manufacturing, Georgia stands
first among all the states in this Sec
ton.
Georgia is today mining % min
erals in commercial quantities. Her
marble is the most beautiful to be
found in the world. Her clay indus
try is but in it's infancy, and yet no
state surpasses her in this direction.
But Georgia is essentially devoted
to agriculture. She has the largest
area of any state east of the Miss
issippi river. AS we Georgians are
Of mill
a Chinese wall around the state and
she could still sustain her people.
Georgia is first among all the
states in the production Of peaches
and sweet potatoes.
"Geogia is second in the yield of
cotton, ground peas, and sugar cane.

SEND DELEGATES
OF POLES BACK
FOR MANDATE
Armies Push on While
Delay Results in Ne
gotiations
(By Associated Press)

All advices today indicate that the
situation in Poland, from a Polish
Allied standpoint is approaching
crisis.
The Polish delegates who went to
Baranovitch for the armistice nego-
tiations were sent back to Warsaw
for mandate to take up peace nego-
tiations. This will delay the beginning
of armistice negotiations.
Meanwhile the resistance of the
Polish armies again relapsed under
the tremendous pressure of Bolshe-
vik forces.
Warsaw seems critically menaced
and all Americans remaining there
have received official notification
that they remain at their own risk

Georgia is third in the production
of water melons and canteloupes, and
high in the production of all other
agricultural and horticultural pro-
ducts, including pecans and apples,
corn, wheat, etc.
I'm the last previous census, | be-
lieve, we were 10th in swine produc-
ton. Now we are fifth, if | remem-
Der correctly.
Although we have no law that
will protect the sheep against the
hound dog, we are eighth in sheep
culture.
Gentlemen, you are now in the
heart of agricultural Georgia. The
Creek Indians of old had their gran
aries here, and it was a tradition
among them that in this section crops
never fail. Our climatic conditions
are unaurpassed, and farm labor
may be done throughout the year.
Our altitude ranges from the sea
level-and we have ITO miles of
water front-to 1000 feet in the
mountains. In short, we have a
state of which we are all very proud,
state of fertile soil, of salubrious
climate and of natural resources un-
surpassed.
but what the soil produces is
not the last test a of land. Georgia
is proud of her citizenship, and as
you travel about the state, if you
want to see what kind of men Geor-
gia produces, look about you.
"We welcome you as honored
guests to the best of everything we
have. If at any time in the future
you should want for anything in your
native state-if you should want a
change in climate, change in soil,
a change in opportunity, or a change
in politics, we would bid you a well
come to dear old Georgia"

Negro Arrested
After Clubbing

S. T. Mack, a negro taxi driver,
was arrested Sunday morning by Otfi-
Ger Redmond on a charge of being
drunk. The negro, who was taken IN
custody on Cotton avenue, resisted
the officer strenuously, with the result
that the latter was compelled to use
his club. A couple of taps subdued
Mack, however, and he was taken to
the barracks. The incident caused
quite a crowd to congregate at police
headquarters, the negro at first COM
nIaining that he had been badly In
iured. a complain not borne out by
subsequent developments.

BY GEoRGE B- WATERS

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August g.
Tennessee will ratifiy woman suf-
frage.
This is the belief of leading poll
ticians, suffragists, editors and citi-
zens generally.
1t means that Tennessee will be
the 36th state, and simultaneously
with ratification 10,000,000 more wo-
men in America will become voters,
to add their strength to the 17,000,-
600 who already vote with state suf-
frage.
Hundreds of kilograms received
here by suffragists and officials show
that there is confusion in other states
on two things:
ONE-Will there actually be a spe-
cial session of the Tennessee legisla-
ture?
TWO-When?
Special Session Aug. 9
Although Governor A. H. Roberts
hasn't actually issued the call for a
special session he will do so August
6, the day after the primary cleo
ton.
The legislature will convene Aug
ust 9.
The reason Roberts is waiting to
issue the special session proclamation
is because he is running for re-nomi-
nation and he feels he will have a
freer hand in writing the proclama-
ton after his political fate is decided.
However, there is no doubt about his
success in the election.
eve have taken a poll of the leg
islature and we have a safe majority
in each house." said Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, head of the Interna-
tional Woman Suffrage Alliance.
Clear Majority
1--WE have clear majority with
out considering the new members who
will occupy 13 vacancies. If there is
any fight at all, it will be over fac
tional differences inside the two par
ties, and not between the Democratic
and Republican, parties.
The reason the outlook for early
ratification is so hopeful, however,
has party slant. Before the San
Francisco convention, there was lit
tie hope in Tennessee that the Dem
ocratic party could put over a presi-
dent this year.
But when Cox was nominated and
started out with bang to bring rat
lficatlon in Tennessee, the politicians
stirred. They believe he has a good
chance of election and they want to
do everything possible to help him.
Democrats in Power
Of the 86 members of the lower
house, 80 are Republicans, and of the
33 senators, are Republicans. They
see what the Democrats are trying to
do for Cox and they are going to try
to do the same thing for Warren G.
Harding.
Senator Harding has wired: "If
any of the Republican members ask
nv opinion as to their course | would
cordially recommend an immediate
favorable action"
Governor Cox not only has wired
urging ratification. but he has three
personal representatives here urging
the legislators to ratify.
Sue White, state chairman of the
militant National Woman's Party has
opened headquarters and the mill.
tants have raised a fund of $4,000
to make campaign. Mrs. Gait of the
( non-militants has been stumping the
state a week and now has headquar.
ters at Hotel Hermitage. The League
of Women Voters is entrenched al
Hotel Maxwell.
In order that there will be no sir
between the cup and the lip, all suf.
! frage forces will work hard till rati
fication is accomplished. To date nc
stubborn opposition to suffrage has
developed.
