Convict Leasing Is
Scored at Mass
Meet IN Montgomery

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July IL
Alabama system Of working con-
victs in coal mines is sending men
to death that the law only sentenced
to hard labor, in the opinion Of w.
G. Davis. Of Jasper, who addressed
a mass meeting Of opponents of the
convict system here last night.
In 1917. according to MrE Davis,
twenty-five per cent Of all deaths
occurring in Alabama coal mines
were of convict labor. Ninety per
cent of accidents among state CON
victs occur in mines and eighty per
cent of tuberculosis among convicts
is among. those employed in mines,
he said
Other speakers urged the abolition
Of the system and the placing Of con-
victs on public highways. in shoe
shops, on farms and elsewhere. The
anti-leasing forces are planning to
bring pressure from all sections of
the state in an attempt to secure
abolition of convict leasing.

Bean Beetles Destroy
Large Areas Of Snap
Beans Over Georgia

The bean beetle and the pea-pod
pest are the little alIiterative para
sites that have united with the boil
weevil to add to the difficulties Of
the farmers of Georgia, according
to the announcement of Agriculture
Commissioner J. J. Brown, Wednes-
day morning. The bean beetle is
threatening a lucrative and lus-
cious feature of the trucking business
in Georgia, especially on the farms
that supply Atlanta with snap
beans.
1t is stated that the bean beetle
is devastating large areas of snap
beans all over the state, but that
its presence is more pronounced in
rcrrh Georgia, in the vicinity OF
Atlarta. The bean beetle is a Mex
icUn parasite, and can be destroyed.
The bureau of entomology of rhc
Gepal tment of agriculture rec)m-
mepds the use of calcium arseaale
and lime dust mixtures, l to 9. IT
is easily prepared and is. very eff
fectiVe in destroying the beetle.

Alabama Protest
Goes to Washington

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July Ii
Speaking in the name of the state of
Alabama, the legislatures protest
against the establishment of negro
personnel at the Tuskegee hospital
for. negro ex-service men, today was
on it's way to Washington, addressed
to President Harding and Frank L.
Hines, of the veterans bureau.
This protest in the form of a Joint
resolution offered by Senator r. II.
Powell, of TUskegee, was unanimous
ly adopted by both houses yesterday.
After reciting the conditions un-
der which the hospital was placed at
Tuskegee and the pledges given that
it would be under control of white
officers, the resolution declares that
sending of q negro personnel to Tus-
kegee would be an unWarranted at
tack by the government on the peace,
uuietude and welfare OF Tuskegee
and an unauthorized and unjust de-
struction by the government OF the
spirit of harmony between the races.

JOHN w. DAVIS IS BRILLIANT
PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY,
DAVID LAWRENCE DECLARES

able speaker and personally very
popular.
Mr.. Davis chances as a Demo-
cratic nominee are at the moment
said to be affected by his residence
in New York City. Since leaving
the government service he has been
active I'm the legal profession and
among his clients is ]. P. Morgan
& Co. The politicians say a man
who has been a lawyer for big bank
ers never will get the vote of the
western communities, where the anti
Wall street, sentiment by no means
has died down in recent years. The
prejudice of the rural sections
against big business is based more
or less on the belief that the bank
ers and city folks get the largest
share in prices at which farm prod-
ucts are sold, namely, in freight
rates and distribution.
False Handicap
Strictly speaking, the fact that
Mr.. Davis has been a lawyer for
any concern for several years ought
not to be a handicap, probably it
would not be a serious one If the
politicians were disposed to ignore
it themselves in nominating Mr.. Da-
Wis. But the opponents of Mr..
Davis nomination naturally will
make the most of it. and will en-
phasize the political danger of such
a, candidate. For it is always the
fight inside the party which eXag-
gerates the defects of a candidate.
Mr.. Davis himself is not seeking the
nomination, and has discouraged eV-
cry kind of activity which his friends
have sought to initiate in his behalf.
1t is said in fact that he really be-
lieved he was giving up his political
future when he went to New York
to practice law.
There stands John Davis, we'll
known throughout the country an
able man-one of the ablest in the
Democratic party in this generation
and vet his availability is mat
ter of doubt.
Nobody to Sponsor Him
Such a non-partisan institution as
the Associated Press did not hest
tate to select John w. Davis as its
general counsel. But, leaving aside
Mr.. Davis legal connections, the
question is, what political organiza-
ton would stand sponsor for him?
He has not lived in West Virginia
for several years, and certainly he
is not on friendly terms with Tam
many, which has its own favorite
son-Al Smith or Senator Copeland.
In answer to this, it can be said,
of course. that the strength of
John w! Davis before the last con-
vention was not due to~~any po-
litical organization, but to his repu-
tation. He hade a good record at
i,,
and since his return has upheld the
doctrines of the Democratic party
with respect to cooperation with
Europe. He probably would be
very satisfactory to Woodrow VIII
son. Mr.. Davis chances of nomina-
ton lie particularly in 1924, as they
did In 1920, in the possibility of Il
deadlock. He is the type of can
didate to whom the party, beset by
extremes might. turn as com
promise.

Florida Dealers Furnish In

antee of Safe Delivery and
Other Necessities

CHICAGO, July 11.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press) - Rum running
along the Florida coast has devel-
oped into such a Furnishing indus
try that some Florida auto dealers
sell cars specially built to trans
port liquor, furnish a negro chauf-
feur and guarantee safe delivery
anywhere, the Chicago Daily News
declared today in the second of d
series of copyrighted articles de-
scribing rum-running along the At
lantic SeabOard.
The writer, who, with a bootleg
ger named Terry" investigating
rum-running along the Florida
coast, declared he had been APP
preached by such an auto dealer
VINO believed the newspaper man to
be a bootlegger and described trans
portatiou methods, particularly the
he gro driver.
1.-THE secret is this" the article
quoted the dealer as saying. "1f you
buy a car from me [ will supply a
negro chauffeur who will drive
you through in style for $40 and his
expenses. Most of the northern
rum-runners who try to take booze
through from Florida make the
mistake or driving the car them
selves. They are a hard lot. they
wear caps and sweaters, they don't
shave, some chew tobacco. they
talk with their RS spread al

can see them.

lawmakers HEAR
DIAL FLAY COTTON
{ FUTURES NE THODS

United States Senator w. H Dial
of South Carolina, on Wednesday
addressed a joint session of the
Georgia legislature on the cotton fa-
lures contract law, which he is. seek
ing to have amended in justice to
southern cotton farmers.
Senator Dial declared the present
contract law operates against the
growers of cotton, and is costing
the south a million dollars a day.
He said a correct law Immediately
would boost the price of cotton sew
eral cents a pound.
"Most of the southern senators
a-s cooperating with me- Senator
Dial said. land we hope at the next
session of congress to give the grow
erN of cotton relief from the cotton
exchanges, who are manipulating
the cotton futures contract aw. Inc
law needs amending so as to stop
the exchanges from dog failing or
from supplying off-grade cotton to
meet contracts. I am only concern
ed with contracts in so far as they
control the price of spot cotton. and
this is the plight of the southern
farmer. They want fair law"
The senator said that under the
present law the exchanges, which ne
termed as manipulators, could meet
the contracts by supplying any one
of ten grades of cotton and that TINS
kept cotton prices down. The con-
tracts, he said. always influence the
price of the "other fellows cotton,
which makes the contracts unjust.
"These manipulators,' Senator
Dial continued, buy and sell con-
tracts. not cotton, and thereby de
press prices. Liverpool sets a price,
immediately affecting the exchanges
at NV York and New Orleans, ana
the cotton farmers are directly at
fected in less than are hour after
ward. We all know THAT a farmer
can't sell his cotton early in the
morning, as the buyers all wait untll
the market opens. 1t is up to the
farmers to stop competing among
themselves and work together for
fair price for their cotton.
There is no reason on earth for
this wild fluctuation in the cotton
market. Often cotton brings $40
a bale. less in the afternoon than
it brought in the morning. This
kind of business has discouraged
the farmers to the point where
many of them are ready to balk.
Protection Need Recognized
"The cotton futures contract law
must be made more definite and it
must be amended to protect the cot
ton producers. The federal trade
commission has recognized the need
for amendment, and has so recon-
rllended In the senate L expect to
do my best to bring about the re-
lief desired, but !. first want to get
the opinions of as many southern
farmers as possible, and l ask you
legislators to inform your constit
uents that if they will communicate
their views to me on the subject l
will give them the utmost consid-
Grafton in the action l take in con
gress."
A number of citizens gathered in
the gallery of the house to hear the
South Carolina senator's speech, and
on conclusion. he was given vigor-
Gus round of applause.

WALKER CONTINUES
TAX CONFERENCES
WITH LEGISLATORS

Governor Walker is continuing his
conferences with legislators concern
ing the question of taxation. He is
advising with members of both
houses, adhering, however, to his ex-
pressed purpose of attempting in
nowise to dictate to the Legislature
in reference to the problem. 1t is his
hope that out of the multitude of
suggestions that have come to him
there will be evolved a plan that will
prove acceptable to the assembly. I
AS the situation looks from the
angle of the executive scffIce, lt
seems not improbable that the leg
islature eventually will agree to the
submission of a constitutional
amendment, authorizing the legisla-
ture to levy a limited income tax
and perhaps a classification tax,
AS remarked by a leader Wednes-
day, sentiment seems to be leaning
toward the so-called De Jarnette
plan, which is fashioned very much
after the Kentucky scheme of taxa
ton. 1t provides chiefly for
classification tax, under which va
riOus classes of property, tangible
and intangible will be assessed diff
ferently.<
In the event the legislature &C.
. cepts this plan, or one of it's. kind,
it is believed that for the present
there will be no interference with
the tax equalization law, or the
present plan of raising revenue.
Two years, it is pointed out, will be
required to make the new scheme
operative, as it must first be SUBJ
mitted to the people in general
election, before it could be enacted
into law by the legislature.

way, the dealer was quoted as say
ing, is negligible.
"a case here, a case there, to a
prohibition agent he was quoted
as saying. "a drink-a mere nip
here and there, to cops. There is a
great deal of rivalry between Della
ware and Dis rict of Columbia in the
matter of automobile licenses; tour.
lists are subjected to a great an
noyance. 1t would be we'll to carry
license plates for both when you
start out. For a trifling amount l
can supply you with these plates"
The dealer, the writer said, offer
ed bank references and other proof
of his reliability and integrity.
Predominant Theme of Talk
On the trip to Florida, the writer
declared, prohibition was the pre-
dominant theme of talk among pas
sengers. While passing through Ala
bama, where even the sale of near
beer is prohibited, the writer said
he observed that eight of thirteen
passengers in the observation car
had pocket TASKS. A ninth, who
was from Alabama, was trying to
beg a drink.
A Birmingham business man who
had been on a trip to Chicago declarC
ed Alabama ticker is better than
anything you have in your liberal
city of Chicago with its thousands
of Saloons" adding that Alabama
is the greatest corn Ticker state in
the Union" and estimating the 1922?
crop at 'about forty gallons to the
acre"
Porters on the train on which the
trip was made, the writer declared,
were dispensing pint bottles of liquor
at every stop at $3.50 a pint.
I'm advised bootleggers who try
to ship booze north by passenger
train give the conductor IS per case
to carry the liquor" the writer said.
THE conductor gets the money in
advance. Before the train. reaches
its northern destination the porters
doublecross the conductor for the
booze and sell it themselves on the
way back"
