| to my bedside almost every hour dur

sleep that she be not too greatly wor-
ried. They tell me had an unusually
light attack of the fever, because of
the splendid nursing / received.
Then when l was married-mother
said not word-she literally took the
new daughter and her son in her dear
arms. The children came and she was
as proud of them as We're their par
ents.
When mother was at last mortally
stricken, tears would come into the
eyes of those ministering unto her
the good soul had waited on others so
to be such little trouble" 1t was
my privilege to hold her in my arms
as her kind and loving heart beats
grew weaker and weaker and then
ceased altogether. Mother was dead!
Then, too, hundreds of boys and
girls-now men and women-through-
out the Carolinas, who during the
many years the late Sallie Marsh
Ashcraft gave the better part of her
years to help them to a higher and
better life as their instructress, will
rise up and call her blessed.
Folks, knew 1 was going to have
n personal encounter with a man with
whom we do not see a certain propo-
sition in the same light A friend of
mine had begged me a few hours be-
fore mot to take a thrashing." The
man who believes he has been abused,
himself has family of exceptionally
intelligent and attractive boys and
girls. l may be a coward, but / would
rather have a dozen beatings than go
into the Great Beyond with bloody
hands" However, when the attack
came 1 was sitting in my office and
was bowled over at the first rush fiat
on my back. The man who then re-
peatedly tried to brain me with a
heavy office chair boasted that he
brought no knife or gun. The chair
was torn up by my repeatedly kicking
1t as it descended toward my face, l
scarcely received a scratch.
But the personal encounter was only
an incident. have had fights before
but never had been called the vilest
of all vile names. In my heart, l feel
that God in Heaven has not damned
my soul, as the man said He had.
God, too, knows that am not the,son
of the beast the man said 1 was. This
occurred after citizens had parted us
and the fight was over.
Not for myself, mother mine, do re-
sent the hellish imputation. The man
who said it is the dirty, contemplate,
slanderous liar which in his own heart
he knows himself to be.
For the sake OF his family, will not
name him. The dozen or more men
who were present know the bully l am
talking about.

AT THE ARGONAUT NINE, JACK
son, Calf, Sept. 4.-One week ago
this morning the rescuing crews began
their fight to reach AZ men entombed
in the Argonaut mine shaft. Today
thev are less than half way through to
the end.
Each crew, goaded il 10 constantly
greater efforts, is accomplishing more
than the one before it.
Last night the last shift cut eight
feet through the hard green stone in
the $500 foot level, blasting three times.
This makes a total of % feet cut
through. The opening must be cut 81
feet farther through the hard rock.
After that there is $50 fees of drift
to clean out and a 75 foot raise to be
made through soft rock.
On the 5000 foot level where another
crew is racing with the rescue band,
33 feet of drift was cleaned away last
night. This makes 4 total OF 800 feet
cleaned and 225 more to go. Another

WARSH|PS Of
FOUR NATIONS
IN TURK WAR
Rush Aid to Christians in
Turko-Greek War; Peril
To Lives Near
FOUR NAVIES CALLED
British Want u. S. Aid To
Get Armistice in War
of Turks, Greeks
United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, E~rt. 4.-American war;
ships together with those of France,
Great Britain and Italy were sent to
Smyrna today to protect the lives of
Christians, following an urgent request
by the British government.
Great Britain, it was announced to-
day, has made an urgent appeal to the
allies and to America to intervene in
the Turko Greek war and arrange an
armistice to prevent the Greeks from
being driven into the sea.
Minorities from the provinces from
which the Greek armies are being driv-
en- will be at the mercy of ruthless
troops of the victorious Mustapah
Kemal, according to the official an
nouncement. Many thousands of
Christian lives will be endangered.
The warships, including the Ameri-
can navy, were rushed from COnstanti-
nople. The British, according to adj
vices from the former Turkish capital,
did everything in their power to end
hostilities before making the appeal
which resulted in immediate American
and allied intervention.
The British were particularly anxi-
Gus to end hostilities to make possible
the Near East conference which is
planned for Venice by the end OF
September at the latest.
Official information given out by
the foreign office here this afternoon
was the position of the Greeks, who
have been fighting renewed war with
the Kemalists for 10 days now, is SER
ious.
Messages from Athens and Constan.
tinople are that the Turks are menac-
ing Drusa, the base of the Northern
Greek, the forces of King Constantine
are in several small groups which are
The British fSfred that additional
Kemalist victories would strengthen
the demand for recession of Thrace as
well as of Asia Minor, which Britain
and Rumania and Serbia regard as i'm
possible.
Seriousness of the situation was en-
phasized by the fact that American
warships were ordered to participate
in the rescue of threatened Christian
minorities.
Success of the Kemalists drive would
mean that Turkey and Bulgaria would
once more be joined, as the allied strip
which separates the countries would be
cut by Mustapah Kemal's troops.

ICE COMPANY TO
ENLARGE PLANTS

The Imperial Ice Co. is ready to begin
at once the work of enlarging its cream
cry ice plant at Brawley. The new
management will consist of a storage
warehouse with a capacity of $500 tons.
The increased facilities will be for the
purpose of manufacturing and storing
white ice for domestic use, the supply
at that point of this quality being short
and the demand increasing.
A division superintendent of the con-
cern states that the Imperial Ice Co.
provided $4,000 tons for the use of the
Pacific Fruit Express Co. during the
shipping season now practically closed
In addition to this amount the latter
company shipped in fully $4,000 tons
to ice the vegetables and fruit sent out
of the valley. Ultimately practically
the entire quantity of ice used here will
be made at the local plants, but that
will not be until the demand is more
fully stabilized so that there will be no
greater provision for manufacturing
and storing than is required. Doubling
the size of the plants already here will
add very materially to the company s
big payroll and thus to its industrial
Importance.

new LEGISLATURE
CLAIMED BY DRYS
Check of Successful State
Senators and Assembly
Shows Race Close
BY w. D. TRACY
United Press Leased Wire

lntVeu I-TeSS hCUSCu s'"C
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Califor
MIA has a "dry'' but not "bone-dry
legislature in which the progressive
movement may have little the better
of the "reactionaries and in which
labor has held its own.
Such were the indications of a check
completed today by the United Press
covering the result of the assembly
and senatorial fights in Tuesdays pri-
mary in all districts of the state.
In most instances Tuesdays cleo
tions determined who would be seated
in the 1923 legislature. a
Five women probably will have mem
bership in the assembly. No women
were chosen for the senate. Twenty
seven new assembly members and eight
senators will be at Sacramnto for the
1923 session, results indicated.
A check of likely winners in the
senatorial races showed, the senate will
have "a members whom the drys claim
as favoring them and 10 whom the
"drys" admit are "wet.' One is
classcd as uncertain.
In the assembly 45 members are
claimed to be "drys" and 30 are class
ed by dry leaders as ''wets. y Five were
marked up as uncertain.
Labor Gains Little
Reviewing the legislature member
ship from the viewpoint of labor move
ment, it was indicated that labor lost
nothing and gained only little in the
primaries. In the senate there will
be 81 members whom labor leaders class
as sympathetic with their move
ment. Twelve are said to have distinct
anti-labor records. Seven were classi-
fled as uncertain.
In the assembly, 35 members were
expected to prove pro-labor, leaders
said, If were definitely placed in the
anti-labor column and 81 could not be
checked, leaving the situation some
what in doubt.
Labor will have an outstanding lead
er in the 1928 session in the person of
Dan Murphy, former president of the
State Federation of Labor, who will be
a member of the San Francisco senator
ial delegation.
AS to the issue which, for lack of a
better name, must be classed as that
between progressives and "conserv-
atives,' indicates that the so-called
progressives may have gained a
little.
Twenty three senate members who
favored the King tax bill, the big ''pro-
gressive-conservative issue, won on
Tuesday. Twelve who opposed it were
returned winners.
In the assembly, Is anti-King bill
members were named. The exact num-
Der of members elected who favor such
legislation could not be determined be-
cause new members were not all of
record, but so-called progressive
leaders claimed about 40.
The check would indicate that with
out support of the governor, no faction
can accomplish much in the way of
putting through its pet schemes-which
means that the next governor of Cali
fornia is to be a powerful parsonage,

DEPUTY N COY
MAY Be HELD
FOR SHOOTING
Deputy Sheriff Remains
with Jailer Awaiting Out
come of Investigation
NO CHARGE LIKELY
Coroner's Jury Takes No
Step in ExOneratiOn or to
Charge Deputy

Special Deputy Sheriff William Nc
Coy is a voluntary prisoner at the
county Jail as an aftermath Of the
shooting of Gus Gray, alleged bootleg
ger, Saturday morning, following Il raid
on n still alleged to have been conducted
by Gray on his ranch east of lleber,
by Mccoy and his brother Joe, also Il
special deputy.
At an inquest conducted Saturday
afternoon by Coroner J.. w. Peterson
over the body of Gray, the jury re-
turned verdict that Gray 'met his
death as result of a gunshot wound
from pistol in the hands of Special
Deputy Sheriff William Mccoy but
made no charges against Mccoy.
John j. Cooper and 7. ID. Tedrow,
arrested with Gray at the time of the
raid, corroborated McCoy's testimony
at the inquest that he had shown his
badge to Gray and that the latter
threatened the deputy and was advanc-
ing on him with the obvious intention
of doing him bodily harm when Mccoy
fired the fatal shot.
Following the inquest, rumors that
Gray's friends contemplated action
against Mccoy, prompted him to place
himself in the custody of the sheriff
until such time as he was completely
exonerated of all blame in connection
with Gray's death. When seen at the
Jail this morning, Mccoy said he had
no statement to make, other than that
he believed it best to have the authori.
ties clear him following the failure of
the coroner's jury to do so.
Jailer Hears of Charge
Jailer +. G.. Weir stated no charge
has been made against Mccoy as yet
and he is at the Jail of his own volition,
but that he (Weir) understood action
might be taken against Mccoy follow
ing the return of county officials to-
morrow.
Tedrow and Cooper were released
from custody after the inquest, being
instructed to keep in touch with the
sheriff s office in ease they are needed
as witnesses as the result of investiga
tions which the district attorneys of
flee will make of Gray's alleged boot
Logging activities.
Gray's funeral was held yesterday
afternoon from the undertaking parlors
of T.. j. Mulligan with burial in the
family plot in Imperial.

 NATURAL ASSET WORTHLESS UNTIL DEVELOPED

of Alabama should resent raising of the question of their affrmatively voting the seaport amendment this fall. To doubt = their doing is a reflection on their intel ligence. The past few years have opened the eyes of the most dense to the necessity of worlds markets for the surplus produc- tion of farm and factory. This surplus can not get to the world except through ports. Ports cannot serve unless equipped to serve.
 Alabama cannot possibly ship her surplus cotton and corn, lumber and mill products to other countries at low cost through other ports as through the port of Mobile. On the other hand, ships will not put in at Mobile for cargo unless Mobile has the equipment have for handling cargoes.
 The Warrior adds to the economy of ship ping by Mobile, but what of that if Mobile is without the facilities to handle the prod ucts brought thither by the Warrior? There is no guesswork about state aid for seaport : development. Louisiana has done 1t without . cost to her taxpayers. What Louisiana has done Alabama can do and do better, because Mobile is better situated for the export trade of the central Mississippi valley.
 Mobile is a natural asset just as the coal and iron of north Alabama arc natural as- sets and the soil and climate of the state are natural assets, but no natural asset is worth anything until developed. Mobile is Ala bama's port-her only one. It is the asset of all the people. It is the duty of all the people to lend their mass aid in development of that port
