HARDWICK ACTS
TO Save ROAD
Directs Attorney General To Stop
Disrrantiing Of NJ. & 3.
Line

ATLANTA, Nov. 8. - Governor
Hardwick upon request Of the Ma
con Chamber Of Commerce, directed
Attorney General Napier to take
whatever step permissible in the
name Of the State of Georgia to pre-
vent the dismantling of the Macon
and Birmingham Railroad, which op-
crates between Macon and LaGrangc,
Ga.
Dismantling Of the railroad, says
Ben Gilham, traffic manager of the
Macon Chamber Of Commerce, would
seriously impair if not destroy the
value of a great deal of property.
1t would entail an annual loss in
peaches alone, Mr.. Gilham declared,
Of $1,5O0,OO0.
Governor Hardwick said he doubt
cd whether a railroad can be disman-
tied under the law. A railroad, he
pointed out, is a utility dedicated to
the public use. In the construction
of railroad, the right Of eminent do
main is exercised when necessary to
procure rights of way and other
property, and this right, the governor
said, arises out Of the fact that a
railroad is dedicated to the public
use.
my instructions to Attorney Gen
eral Napier" said the governor, ARE
to intervene in the name of the State
and to take this matter to the highest
court, going to the United States Su-
preme court if necessary"

ALL BIDS
FOR CALCIUM ARSENATE
State Board Refuses To Pay High
Price For Poison

ATLANTA, Nov. 3.-All bids to
furnish the state department of ag-
riculture with calcium arsenate for
sale to Georgia farmers combating
the boil weeviI, were rejected as
too high Thursday by the state board
of entomology, which deferred ac-
tion on contracts to future meet
ing.
In resolution the board expressed
the opinion that the producers of
white arsenate are asking too much
for their products, and called upon
them to 'offer white arsenate to the
producers of calcium arsenate at a
price in line with the present cost
of producing cotton" declaring that
otherwise the future cotton industry
will be seriously impaired.

ressee, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin,
and Wyoming.
The battle of ballots throughout
the country largely is between the.
two dominant parties, Republican
and Democratic. The election is
marked by virtual passing Of the
| Progressive, or Bull Moose, party.
Socialist, Prohibitionist, Farmer-La-
Dor, Single Tax and other organiza-
tions. however, continue on the bal
lots here and there, with some in
! dependent and other miscellaneous
designations. Also marking the To-
cal campaigns, and often affecting
the congressional contests, are the
| liquor, Ku Klux Klan and other ques-
tions.
Congressional candidates mostly
are for the Sixty-eighth congress
which will not assemble until De-
! cember. 1929, unless q special ses-
sion next summer should be called.
/ Of the -thirty-seven senatorial seats
at issue, thirty-two are for regular

cies bv death and resignation. /"

FORDPLANS TO
SPLIT PARTY
Expects To Be Candidate For
Presidency On Independent
C. 0. P. Ticket

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. - Re-
ports reach both Democratic and Re
publican headquarters today and
are given credence by both that Hen
ry Ford is quietly scheming to ac-
quire the presidential nomination
not at the hands of Democrats but
Republicans. This is taken to ex-
plain Ford's refusal to aid the Dem
ocratic ticket in Michigan (although
he has personal cause to proceed
against Senator Newberry's main
lieutenant, Senator Townsend and
to contribute t0~the Democratic Ma
tional comittee, which is woefully in
need of funds.
1t is said that Ford, on a platform
expressing defiance of Wall Street
and espousing the "advanced' de-
mands Of organized labor and radical
farmers, expects to be outgeneraled
by politicians in the Republican con-
vention, but is confident of his abil-
Hy to split the party, and thus win
as an independent Republicans
tremble at the reports. Democrats
regard them with satisfaction.
Statisticians at Democratic and Re-
publican headquarters, at the in
stance of this bureau, prepared fore
casts today of the result Of the cleo
ton, Nov. Z. Aware that publicity
in the South would have no effect,
experts gave what they apparently
believe TO be true.
