RUSSELL To OPPOSE
HARRIS FOR SENATE,
HIS FRIENDS ASSERT
Candidacy of Chief Justice
of Supreme Court General
Iy Accepted as Certain in
Political Circles

Chief Justice Richard Is. Russell,
of the Georgia supreme court, will
be a candidate for the United States
senate in opposition to Senator Will
liam j. Harris, according to reports
at the state capitol. Judge Russell
could not be reached Saturday for
confirmation or denial of the rumor.
but friends who enjoy his conf
dence accepted his reported sena
torial candidacy as settled beyond
the peradventure of doubt.
Coming on the eve of the assem-
bling of the Georgia general assem-
bly, and at a time when many poll
ticians are in Atlanta, the report
concerning Chief Justice Russell's
ambition and purpose was the sub
ject of widespread interest and COM
ment.
Senator Harris Active
That Senator Harris will stand
for reelection IS accepted as certain.
The senator has been in Georgia
since the adjournment of congress.
looking after his political fences. He
has made many speeches in differ
ent parts of the state, giving IAN
account of his stewardship in the
United States senate" as he has
expressed it. His tour, his friends
have asserted repeatedly. has in no
sense been a political canvass, ana
until very recently it was their be-
lief that Senator Harris would es-
cape opposition in the primary of
1924.
Than Judge Russell there are few
better known men in the state. Be
sides being chief justice of the SUI
preme court, Judge Russell is chair
man of the board of trustees of the
University of Georgia, of which in
stitution he is a devoted alumnus.
A native of Barlow county, Judge
Russell has been in public life for
many years. serving first as judge
OF the superior court of that cir
cult.
Was a Candidate for Governor
Judge Russell has been a familiar
figure and an important factor IN
state politics since 1906, when he
made a spectacular, although UNI
successful canvass for the guberna-
torial nomination-one of a field Of
several candidates, including Hoke
Smith, Clark Howell, the late James
Smith, of Oglethrope county; j. H.
Estili, of Savannah, and DR.. G. H.
Nunnally. subsequently, Judge Rus

yass. for governor against the late
Governor Joseph M. Brown, Of Ma
rietta.
Although unsuccessful in his cam
paigns for governor, Judge Russell
was more fortunate when he entered
the lists as candidate for the court
of appeals. He served with distinc,
ton on the bench of this court for
: several years, and in the last Dem
ocratic primary was a candidate for
chief justice of the supreme court
against Judge William III. Fish.
Judge Russell won a handsome vic

HARDING WINS APPLAUSE
FROM REAL SONS OF TOLL
In KANSAS WHEAT FIELD
NEGRO MIGRATION
FIGURES COMPILED
BY STATE BANKERS

Figures compiled by the Georgia
Bankers association with reference
to negro migration in Georgia, show
that in the last three and half
years 22S,938 members of that race
have left this state for northern
points, it was announced Saturday
by James S. Peters, PRESIDENT
Mr.. Peters pointed out that this
figure is conservative, in that the
report was compiled by bankers. The
complete report is a composite of
figures from the counties in Geor-
gia which have been turned in to.
the association.
AS q result of this migration, the
report shows, 1854 farm dwellings
have been left vacant in Georgia and
$685. plows are idle. A shortage of
I70,S43 in farm labor was reported
June Is. During the first six months
of this year, it is shown, 1880 ne
groes have left Georgia farms and,
in the same time, 29,513 white farm
ers in Georgia have deserted their
farms.
OF the counties making Il report,
48 per cent state that the exodus is
on the increase; Al per cent say To-
cal conditions are improving, and IL
per cent report conditions as I'M
changed.
President Peters, who conducted
the inquiry, stated that if the move
ment continues throughout the year
as it has for the first six months,
there will have been as many ne
groes leaving Georgia as there are
citizens in ten south Georgia coun-
ties.
Better living conditions and SUI
perior wages in other sections are
assigned by President Peters as
causes of the migration.
AS a remedy, Mr.. Peters lays down
four steps necessary to curtail
wholesale emigration. They are: An
increase in wages; betterment of
living conditions; increase in edu-
cationai facilities, and elimination of
race prejudice.
BASED upon a production of $500
to the plow," Mr.. Peters says, which
is very low, you will observe that
Georgia's loss of wealth from her
farms this year will amount to more
than $27,O00000, and in a decade to
more than $3.50, 100000. This will be
tremendous loss in wealth to the
merchants, jobbers, railroads and
other business interests of the state.
Our reports indicate that rail
roads in one of the cities of the
state have sold more than 5000
tickets to negroes going to the in
dustrial north and east since Janu-
airy / of this year. This number,
of course, was included in the totals
mentioned above. When we take
into consideration that the negro
population in Georgia increased only
80, 900 from 1910 to 1920, it brings
to our attention the fact that the.
negro population of Georgia now is
possibly less than it has been since
1890. 1t seems apparent that this
will continue so long as conditions
here remain as they are at present,
and the industrial north and east
offer higher wages and better living
conditions"
