In MINING CITY
Biggest Turnout of Season Elk
pected at Neihart Meet
ing.

1t is expected that the democratic
rally at Neihart tonight will be n of
the largest held by the party in the
smaller towns of Cascade county so
far this campaign. The meeting was
originally set for Oct. 30, but was
changed to Oct. 90, to suit the conven-
fence of the many democratic boosters
in that section.
The democratic rally at Monarch
last Tuesday evening had a larger at
tendance than that held by any other
party there this year and 1t is believed
the meeting at Neihart will eclipse the
one at Monarch. .
The democrats viii hold forth at
Sand Coulee Saturday night. The
date for Sand Coulee was originally
set for Thursday night, but was chang.
ed to fit in better with the plans of
the party workers in that section.
Chairman George w. Harper reports
that the enthusiasm of the voters for
this years democratic rallies is most
gratifying and predicts success for the
whole ticket on November Z.

London.-(Correspondence of The

to predict that no cases OF shell

of the war office committee on snell

mittee stated, There was such anx-
ious solicitude during the war as to the

of the term shell shock that this

There have been more expressions

in itself, is indication of progress.
Alphabetically, most parts of the dis

STRONGHOLD To
DEFEAT GALLONS
Influential Men Appear In Behalf
OF Ludy Riley, To Hang
June %

ALANY, May 3.-Strong efforts
are being made to prevent the exc
cution of the death penalty on Ludy
Riley, a young white man who was
convicted at the March term of
Dougherty Superior court in 1921 Of
criminal assault on 10-year-old
white girl, and whose case has been
upheld by the Supreme court of the
state. Mayor H. A. Peacock, Senator
Dennis Fleming and Representative
Walter H. Beckham were among the
local leaders who appeared before
the prison commission Monday to ask
communication of the sentence,
which would reduce the punishment
to 20 years Imprisonment. Riley cnn-
tends that the accusation was a
frame-up by the child's mother,
claimed to be lewd character, who
sought to prevent his prosecuting her
for robbing him. 1t was suggested
in the attorneys speech defending
Riley that the condition of the child
was produced by the mother to fasten
trumped-up charge on Riley, but
DIR. A. W. Wood, a reputable physi-
clan, testified that the child bore ii.
appearance of one victimized b
criminal assault and that the in
juries, in his opinion, were not pro-
duced otherwise. The state also I'M
dertook to show that Riley was drunk
at the time of the crime.
Reference has been made in some
stories of the crime to the woman"
Riley is alleged to have assaulted,
when the alleged victim was nothing
more than little pale-faced child.
The mother who was only a minor
witness in case has also been repre-
sented as the "star" witness, when
Solicitor B. C. Gardner contended
that there was enough testimony to
convict Riley without hers. Riley
will hang June %, if his sentence
Is not committed.

improvement in the commercial life
of the district"
In this betterment of agricultural
prices and the consequent gain in
the farmers buying power the At
lanta reserve district shares a coun-
try-wide cause for cheer, it is pointed
out here. No single group of Ameri-
can interests suffered so heavily in
the economic reactions following the
war than did those which live by the
soil, said business men today. While
farm products declined in market
value to levels not infrequently be-
low those of 1913, there was no COM
pensating decrease in the price of
things the farmer had to buy. AS
long as this Unbalanced state of af-
fairs continued, it was inevitable that
all currents of trade which depended
upon his patronage would lag, partic-
ularly in region so dominantly agri,
cultural as the Southeast. The turn
of the tide is now manifest in far
felt and varied business quickening.
In the Atlanta district, according
to the Federal Reserve reports, in
dustrial as well as commercial con-
ditions are improved. The building
trades are especially active. Unem-
ployment has notably decreased.
Faith deepens as spring advances and
a freshened spirit of enterprise I'M
folds.

EVICTION OF MINERS

Attorney General Daugherty today
issued instructions to his special
agents to investigate reports that
West Virginia coal operators are
evicting miners families from their
homes for alleged failure to pay rent
for cottages owned by the operators.

other towns has been the result of
the plans of the miners to strike on
April 1. One report to the Attorney
General said that the operators were
