HON. GEO. SPENCER OF TAI
LULAH, DIES SUDDENLY.

The people Of Tallulah and other
Louisiana towns, and Vicksburg, were
shocked yesterday evening to learn
Of the sudden death Of Geo. Spencer,
q prominent lawyer Of Tallulah, and
member Of the Town Council Of that
little city, yesterday afternoon, short
ly after s o'clock.
Mr.. Spencer was attending meet
ing Of the town council, and made a
motion for the council to act upon,
when, the moment he uttered the last
word, and was about to take his seat,
he suffered an acute attack Of heart
disease and fell to the floor. He
breathed his last before the friend
nearest him could reach mis- side.
Mr.. Spencer was in his Seth year,
and was apparently hearty and vigor-
GUS. He was a man Of most lovable
traits, magnetic, who adhered to the
highest ideals Of life, and was ex-
tremely popular with all who knew
him.
He was born November Is, 1866,
in Catahoula parish, La, and grad
uated from Tulane University. he
was at one time assistant secretary
Of state Of Louisiana, and had lived
1t Tallulah for many years.
He is survived by his SON, Mason
Spencer, who lives in Tallulah and
who was associated with his father
in the practice Of law, and daugh'
ter, Mrs. Carneal Goldman, wife Of
prominent planter Of Tensas parish
Interment in Tallulah cemetery

The death Of Mr.. Spencer is
severe blow to Tallulah and Madison
parish. He was q strong man and
good one; good in many acceptation'
Of the term. He was . good HUSBAND
and father, . good friend and eiti

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-In the
most active session this month bond
prices throughout the list were
carried to slightly higher levels in
response to a keen demand much OF
which apparently came from improve
ment rather than from speculative
sources.
This was the main feature of the
market, but there were others as in
teresting including the continued rise
and activity of Liberties, the
popularity Of several high class rail
road bonds and the rapid fall and par
tiaI recovery of Chicago * Great
Western refunding Is.
In price the Liberty 91as led all
others Of its group with a new 1922
high at 1O1.38. Other issues gained
hut did not reach the levels from
which they had started their recent
gradual descent. However, a greater
volume Of both Fourth and Second
4As than Of the 315s changed hands.
Two New York Central issues, de
benture 6s and refunding and i'm
provement 5s were among those whose
activity marked the high priced rail
group.
The speculative rails were steady
but they had to give way to the
higher and medium priced issues as
the market leaders.
The lower priced rails probably were
held back somewhat by the drop in
Chicago and Great Western refunding
As which responded to rumors of a re-
ownership with a drop from Sc to
451a. Then the market was given
statement by President FELTON, that
there was no receivership in contem-
plation and a rapid recovery in the
issue took place that got it all but
back to the starting point. Felton de-
clared the road was handling more
business than ever before.
The foreign group was active and
steady.

Tariff Figures in Election When

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-Both
major political parties are right up to
the brink of the final campaign for
the general elections.
With the denomination Of Senators
Lodge. Poindexter and Townsend in
the Massachusetts, Washington and
Michigan Republican primaries ap-
parently assured, there is only one
more contest of national interest be-
fore the final campaign gets under
way. That contest is in New Jersey,
where George L. Record, ultra Prog
ressive, is contesting with Senator Ere
linghuysen for the Republican sena-
torial nomination.
Swinging into the last six weeks
before Nov. I, when the general cleo
tons will be held this year, the ReA
rublicans are assured of the tariff KS
an issue since this measure shouN<'
be in the hands of the President by
the first of next week. Before the
final stretch also, the strike situation
should be in the clear for whatever
capital either party wishes to make
of it.
The bonus will be ready for the PEG
pies reaction, although before election
day President Harding may have made
it a personal and not a campaign is
sue by vetoing the bill.
However, the bonus has done one
thing-rendered contributions to the
Republican congressional campaign
very scarce. Big business interests
who have consistently opposed this
measure long ago warned Chairman
Adams of the national committee,
that if Congress added this bill to
other legislation it has enacted.
over the opposition Of the so-called
financial interests. there would be a
dearth of funds in the Republican
treasury, to carry on the congress
sional fight this year.
1t will be recalled that when Con-
gress spurned the counsel of the east
ern seaboard against the high surtax
in the revenue bill, there was a re
sultant outburst among eastern inter
ests against the House and Senate.
This has gone steadily forward, cul-
minating in widespread indignation
in Wall St. at passage of the soldiers"
compensation bill.
So directors Of the Republican sena-
tOrial and congressional campaign
committees declare that this viii be
a frugal campaign insofar as expendi-
lures are concerned. The DemOcra-S
are no better off because they. L
have not wiped out their 1920 presideir
tial campaign deficit.
