$4,000 PEOPLE KILLED
BY AUTO ACCIDENTS
DURING PAST YEAR

CHICAGO, Jan. lo-The number
OF persons killed in automobile acct
dents in the United States in 1921. was
estimated at between $4,000 and $4,000
probably nearer the higher figures, at
a joint meeting of the officers of the
public safety section of the national
safety council and the managers of
various local safety councils here Sat-
urday The estimate was based on a
comparison of the 1920 figures with
reports already received from several
cities and states.
This is an increase OF from 1000
to 1000 over deaths from auto acct
dents in 1920 when approximately H.
600 persons were killed. Based on the
higher figure, safety officials today
said that death from an auto acct
dent in 1921 occurred on an average
of every thirty-five minutes.

developed along lines that will serve
all the people most, instead OF serving
the big, selfish interests of Wall street
are deluging congress with literature
that grossly misrepresents the facts,
he continued.
You know | used to wonder Jew
weeks ago why the dickens | was bid
ding for Mussel Shoals. We have neY-
er need Mussel Shoals-always got
along fine without it, We finally did
bid, because as we saw it, it gave US
us an opportunity to awaken the whole
american people to what they can do
if they will only study and utilize wa
ter power possibilities of the country.
And the more we investigated the
thing the more we saw the rotten
waste of it all-the waste of millions
OF dollars raised by taxing the people
In selling war-built industries for Junk;
the waste in letting Mussel Shoals lie
there uncompleted and idle, and great
est of all, as | see it, the waste of
millions on millions more of money
raised by taxing the people because
of the governments dilatory and in
different ways and methods of doing
business generally.
Comparison of Salvage
Mr.. Ford said his offer Of $5,OOO,-
600 for the nitrate plants is Sc per
cent of their cost, or higher rate of
return on salvage than on the Old
Hickory powder plant at Nashville
and the wooden ships of the shipping
board. The return on the powder plant
was 428 per cent and on the wooden
ships four tenths of one per cent, he
said.
By delaying acceptance of his offer
The governmaat Q losing $3.50
year, Mr. Ford said This is made up
of 100000 he would pay in rental
and the balance is in the cost of guard
ing the plants that are "idle and use
less" he said.
1t was pointed out to Mr.. Ford that
a booklet published by the National
Fertilizer association, and circulated
among congressman and senators,
charges that his offer amounts to a
subsidy.
Edison VS.. Weeks
Subsidy, he exclaimed, "a SUBJ
sidy means getting something from
the government for nothing We're
not asking the government for mic
kle-instead, we're giving the govern
ment an offer unprecedented for its
generosity. Gen. Lansing H. Beach,
chief of the army engineers has shown
Secretary Weeks that, during the per-
iod of the lease, the Ford offer means
$214,0O0 900 to the government. If
they think this offer means a subsidy
why don't they go and talk to Gen.
Coach? Say, those fertilizer fellows
would climb the Washington monu-
ment rather than get the army chiefs

HON. LESLIE N. SHAW To
SPEAK HERE FRIDAY, | Pm.
Will Speak in Court House at ll:OO
O'Clock; Large Crowds Seems
Now Assured.

From such reports as we are abr
to get from different sections of the
county, it now seems probable that
there will be large number of per-
sons present to hear Hon. Leslie NJ
Shaw, when he addresses the people
at the court house Friday morning at
II o'clock.
Mr.. Shaw was Secretary of State
under Roosevelt and is man of great
ability and a very able talker. So
toceful talker is he that his services
has been in demand in many states
and III numerous campaigns. That he
will come with facts and figures to
sustain his position there is no doubt.
Men of his ability do not deal in
abuse or billingsgate against those
whom he may oppose politically, bur
that he will have an interesting mes
sage, especially for republicans, there
can be no doubt Republicans espec-
tally should be sure to hear him. All
who may be interested in hearing the
issues of the day discussed in fair
and CONSTANT manner are welcome
and it is felt sure there will be a good
ly number present to hear him.
From Crossyille he will 60 to Wa
tertown, where he will speak Saturday
at one O'Clock.

Candidate for Reelection as
Representative from This District.

be, this will be his fourth consecutive
term This is most remarkable and
is due to the fact thai he has been
faithful 10 every trust and has looked
after the interests Of the people of this
district with the utmost fidelity and
to their ientire satisfaction. One OF
he most remarkable features of the
candidacy Of Mr. Norvel is that for
the last two times he has not sought
the Place. but the people have almost
conscrip!ed him, so great was their
desire for Eis-services as their repre-
sentative He has grown in popularity
and in the good will of the people
of this district as no man ever did be-
fore, and our people have the utmost
confidence in his ability and honesty
of purpose.
In the last legislature he stood solid
ly with Governor Taylor in every re-
form movement he sought to bring
about. He heartily urged and favored
the wash-room bill for the miners and
as he stood for every reasonable move
mcnt favorable to labor, he is partic-
ularily strong with the labor forces
of this district. This condition is un-
mistakably evidenced by the fact tha.
his home county Of Crundy, fully sew
percent democratic, yet he
carried il by $50 majority over an old
Confederate soldier.
No republican in the last legislature
had greater influence with the op-
position party than did Mr. .Norvell
for the reason, as one democrat stated
to the editor of the Chronicle: HE
fights us, but he fights fair and we are
