Az An Arkansas congressman, Tillman
s.B. Parks, democrat, in the closing
h days of the sixty-sixth Congress, dis
Scussed before the House some of the
freasons for outrageous and unreason-
liable freight and passenger tariffs, and
read into the records some of the sal
aries paid railroad presidents and at
i torneys, as returned to the United
Ii States Labor Board in 1917. This is

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
NEAR CITY SATURDAY
Car Rolls Down Fifteen Foot En-
bankment, Slightly lnjuring Two
of Occupants.

Saturday afternoon between 6 and
T o'clock a car driven by William
Hughes and containing H. A. Benton,
his father, w. F. Benton, Mary
Louise Benton and Mary H. Keith,
of Dublin, Ga, collided with a
car driven by Claud Gambrell who
had Maxxcy Johnson and George
Cam in his car. The accident oc-
Cured on the highway at detour in
the road near the W. E. Leslie place
about three miles from town.
Claud and his friends were re-
turning from Martins Mill, meeting
2 cars going out at the sharp curve
beyond the Leslie place. The first
car was safely passed only to strike
the Haynes car which was travelling
on the other side of the road, the
bumper of the Gambrell car catch
ing the rear wheel of the Benton's
car, which turned over and fell
down an embankment fifteen feet
high.
Mr.. Benton was pinned under the
car which had to be rolled off of him.
He had several ribs broken. Mr.. W.
F. Benton suffered a severe out on
the top of the head, taking the exact
shape of a horse shoe. The two little
girls were tossed out as the car
went over but were uninjured. Bill
Hughes also escaped without injury,
though the steering wheel was rip
ped to pieces. The top Of the car was
completely demolished, and the Won
der is that every one was not killed.
The boys in the Gambrell car were
frightened but not hurt. DR.. Gam
brell and DR.. Neuffer arrived on the
scene and took care of the wounded.

Mr.. A. B. Morse announced that

membered by the the people of Alb

seven years younge- than the nation
al society and in all these years has
done great good.
After the business meeting Rev
C. E. Peele preached an excellent
sermon taking as his text "Jesus
Christ, the same yesterday, today
and forever" his theme being the
refutation of the idea so prevalent
that the world needs a new Christ
and a new religion, to carry US thru
these progressive times.
The meeting of the District Bible
Society will be held Wednesday at
Greenvale Church near Donalds.
Mrs. M. R. Plaxco and Miss Mary
Greene sang solos and Miss Mildred
Cochran presided at the organ.

RAILROAD STRIKE
LONG EXPECTED
PREPARATIONS BEGUN BY MEN
OVER YEAR AGO-SAT TIGHT
AND WATCHED GRIEVANCES
ACCUMULATE TO SUPPORT
PLANNED WALKOUT.

Washington, July 23.-That the
railroad shopmen have been prepar-
ing for the strike now in progress
since April, 1921, and waited Is
months because of a desire to "ac-
cumulate enough grievances to sup
port a demand for a nationwide
strike" were statements made today
by P. J. Conlon, vice president of
the international Association of Ma
chinists, at public mass meeting
here.
Union officials learned April 8,
1921, Mr.. Conlon said, that the ma
tional agreement with the railroads
was to be abolished, although the rail
road labor board did not act until
April IA. When individual agreements
were sought, he declared the unions
"ran into identical demands from
every road we approached which in
dicated to US there was some central
agency or authority directing the
fight against u.s."
"Then we realized" Vice President
Conlon continued. "that we would
have to sit tight and suffer in silence
until enough grievances had been &C
cumulated to support demand fol
a nationwide strike"
Of the LOO decisions handed down
by the labor board, the speaker listed
700 as favorable to the railroads and
400 as "nominally in favor of our
side," but of the latter, he said, at
least 300 were put into effect by the
roads and therefore "didn't mean
anything"

CHILE AND PERU
SIGN AGREEMENT
SUBMIT CONTROVERSY TO PRES
IDENT HARDING-SETTLE.
MENT HAILED IN WASHING
TON AS EPOCHAL ACHIEVE
MENT IN CANCELLATION.

Washington, July 22.-Chile and
Peru consumated here today their
agreement to submit their genera
ton old quarrel over Tacna-Arica to
the arbitration of President Hard
ing.
The arbitration protocol and it's
supplementary act, the fruition Of
ten weeks negotiations conducted in
Washington on the invitation Of
President Harding, were signed by
the plenipotentiaries of the two gov
ernments in the hall of the Americas
in the Pan-American union amid the
applause of a distinguished assem-
blage of diplomatists and officials of
the United States. Then they were
announced to the world in a series
of addresses hailing the settlement
as an epochal achievement in Pan
American conciliation.
In turn, the spokesmen of Chile,
Peru and the United States expressed
in solemn terms their deep gratifica-
ton at final effacement Of the prob
lem which for so long has been a
thorn in the side of international re-
lationships in the western hemisphere
Secretary of State Hughes, speaking
for the American government, pre-
dicted that the accord would be the
the greatest achievement of this gen
Grafton in the direction of peace and
good understanding in the new world.
When the final session Of the con-
ference was ended the Chilean and
Peruvian delegates called together
at the White House to thank Mr..
Harding for bringing them together
and to receive his assurance that he
would accept, with deep sense OF
responsibility, his designation as nm
al arbitrator of the dispute.
The next step will be the ratifica-
ton of the two instruments signed
today but the plenipotentiaries are
leaving Washington confident that
their work will find ready approval
at home. Actual arbitration will be-
gin after ratifcations have been ex-
changed, probably late this fall.

COTTON MARKET
HELD IN DFCL|NE
DEPRESSED PRICES FEATURE OF
WEEK-FEAR BEING FELT
THAT MILLS MAY FACE COAL
SHORTAGE BEFORE LONG.
STRIKE NEWS HURTS.

New Orleans, July 23-Prices were
depressed in moderate way during
almost the whole of last week in the
cotton market. Early declines carried
the market to it's lowest on the more
distant months, to net losses of Al to
So points, while in the late trading
July and October fell to their lowest,
net losses of Cd to 112 points. At the
middle of the week the market was at
it's highest, 8 to Is points over the
close of the preceding week. On the
close the list showed net losses of 26
to 81 points. October traded as high
as % cents a pound, as low as 21.28
and closed at 21.35. In the spot de-
partment prices lost rs points on mid
ding, which closed at '21.75 against
11.75 on the close of this week last
year.
Much of the selling of the week
was done on the unfavorable strike
news in this country and on an unfav
orable opinion of political news from
abroad. The troubles among the coal
mines aroused fear that mills would
be seriously put out for fuel before
long while the rail strike caused un-
.easiness regarding transportation
facilities for the new crop, now just
starting to move.
Only moderate selling arose from
the weather and crop news of the
week because of fear that boil wee
vii damage might, at any time, as
sumo alarming proportions, since the
pest was reported numerous in near
ly all sections of the belt.

TARIFF CHARGE
MADE BY SMITH
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
TALKS OF ARSENIC-WRITTEN
INTO BILL TO BENEFIT GUG-
GENHEIMS-MORE OF THIS
LATER.

Washington, July 22.-Develop-
ments yesterday in the senate consid,
Grafton of the administration tariff
bill included:
Material reductions in most of the
duties originally proposed on prod
ucts of flag, hemp and jute.
A charge by Senator Smith (Dem-
ocrat) of South Carolina that the
rate of two cents a pound on white
arsenic was written into the bill fol-
the sole benefit of "the great Guggen-
helm smelling interests"
The introduction of a resolution by
Senator Gooding (Republican) OF
Idaho proposing a public investiga-
ton of the claim of clothing produc-
ers that the proposed rate of s3 cents
a pound on secured wool would result
in an increase of about 81 in the
price of a suit of clothes and 81 in
the price of an overcoat.
Senator Smith brought up the ar.
senic rate in the midst of considera-
ton of the linen schedule and prom
ised that when the senate came to
final action on the arsenic paragraph
he would go into details as to whom
the tariff would benefit and upon
whom it would rest. He characterized
the proposed duty as "the most
shameless favoritism for one combi-
nation and one set of men and esti-
mated that it would cost the cotton
producers alone s2s,000,000 year.
Calling attention that arsenic was
a "by-product which the smelters
were required by law to contain be-
cause of the damage it had done to
vegetation near the smelters," Sena-
tor Smith said the smelling interests
were not even willing to contribute
a by-product to the general welfare
of the country ''but hasten to con-
gress to get a duty, on it."
Senator Smoot (Republican) of
Utah denied that arsenic duty would
cost the cotton farmers s1s,0o0,o0O
a year. On the basis of the total of
domestic production and importation
he said the total increased cost could
not exceed 100000 a year.
Despite some extraneous discussion
the senate made unusually rapid pro-
gress on the fax schedule, disposing
of all of it except four items, in
cluding the rate on cotton bagging'
The Democrats led by Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas sought to effect
even greater reductions in the duties
than those proposed by the commit,
tee majority but every amendment
offered was rejected.
