GOV. COOLIDGE
HNOTIFIED, TOO
Says Domestic Problem
Is Biggest One Faced
By u. S.

NORTH HAMPTON Mass, July
27-Rescue from the reactions of war
were described as the transcendent
need of the nation in the address
which Governor Calvin Coolidge de-
livered here today in accepting for
mally the Republican nomination for
vice president.
"The chief task that lies before US
is to repOssess the people of their
government and their property" he
said.
Governor Coolidge found another
source of gravest public concern to be
"the reactionary tendencies to substi-
tue private will for public will" " He
declared observance of law is the
greatest solvent of public ills" p"
The scene of the notification was
Allen Field, the recreation ground of
Smith College, where a great assem-
blage stood through Il e exercises.
Governor Coolidge heard from Gov
ernor Edwin Morrow, of Kentucky,
the formal announcement of his nom.
ination.
"By the spontaneous wish of your
party" Governor Morrow said the
Massachusetts, executive had been
confidently called upon to serve with
the leader who "has spoken clearly,
bravely and convincingly."

SEARCH FOR MISSING
HUSBAND AS SLAYER.

DETROIT, July 27.-Search for
Eugene Leroy, whose wife's mutilated
body was found jammed in trunk
shipped from Detroit to New York,
assumed nationwide interest today.
That jealousy and revenge played
a part in the supposed murder is the
reported contention of Allen A. Ia
tum, now in Birmingham, Ala, and
who told the police he knew Mrs. Le-
roy intimately in Detroit several
months ago. Tatum's name was writ
ten on the trunk that contained the
murdered woman's body. He express
ed the belief, it is said, that Leroy
may have killed his wife, through
jealousy when he learned that she had
been in Tatum's company, and that
Tatum's name was used on the trunk
with revenge as the motive.
A Detroit detective has left for
Birmingham to bring Tatum to this
city, if possible, in an effort to throw
light on Leroy's whereabouts.
A second trunk, believed to have
been sent to New York and thought to
contain the vital organs of the mur.
dered woman is being sought.

CROP PROSPECT
SURPASSED ONLY
IN 1914, He FINDS
Judge Hixon so Reports
After Trip Alone Over
County

Crops in all parts of Sumter coun-
ty are in better Condition at this time
than ever before in the history of the
county, except in 1914, when bump
er crop was produced, according to
Judge James A. Hixon, who made a
complete to of the county yester-
day. 81 have never seen such crops"
he said today, "and honestly believe
that the boil weevils can't eat 1t all
up, no matter how fast they multiply
in the remaining part of the growing
season"
Judge Hixon made his trip alone in
his rdnabout and travelled leisurely
during most of the day, having a de-
sire to view crop conditions for him
self. md his opinion is entirely dis
interested one. He disposed of his
fine farm in the 28th district last
year and this is the first summer IN
a number of years in which he has
not owned a growing crop. He is an
experienced cotton grower and
though he had made many fine crops
he says that never before with the
single exception noted, has ne seen
such excellent prospects at this sea-
son.
Not only is the cotton crop in
splendid shape, Judge Hixon says, but
corn is also growing off fine, and the
yield, apparently, will be unusually
heavy this fall. Farmers are busy in
the: 'ields, he says, and they have
not Andoned their fight upon the
weevil, though it seems already won:
"If Sumter county farmers don't
have money this fall, then I'll be fool
ed vas his comment.
