address. He is rather handsome and
graceful in build and carriage. He Is
clean-shaven and bit dark-skin-
ned. Were he a woman the de.
scription would be that he is one
of the handsome brunette type"
He is about fOrty-five years of age
and unmarried. Having no children
or immediate family of his own,
former Representative Slemp not
long ago practically adopted thr2e
nephews and is educating and sup
porting them. He had the funds and
the generous impulse to carry on
in this way. Mr.. Slemp may be prac.
teal and hard boiled in national
and Virginia politics, a sort OF po-
litical boss in his own southern baili-
wick but in private life he is an
agreeable and likable chap who will
lend an air of hospitality to the
executive offices.
1t is said that Secretary Slemp is
an ultra cOnservative. We'll, SO is
President. Coolidge, so far as funda-
mentals go. AtAbottOm, the president
probably is a stronger conservative
than his choice for secretary, since
the latter's conservatism is the fruit,
largely, of tradition and self-interest,
while the presidents own conserva
tism is the fruit of sheer, painful
as we'll as tradition-with
little self-interest involved. On a
vital question the conservatism OF
Coolidge likely would stand more
than the conservatism of Slemp.

Key West Planning
"Overseas Highway"
To Parallel Railway

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Aug. 25.-
An Overseas highway" parelleling
the overseas railway" from Key
West to the Florida mainland, dis
lance Of approximately 125 miles, is
a. possibility of the not distant fll-
ture if plans of Key West civic lead
ers are carried out. They seek to
supplement means OF travel to and
from the little city which was en-
tirely cut Off from the mother state
until the Florida East Coast railroad
was completed in 1912.
Plans already have progressed to
the point Of investigating the feas-
Utility of the road, the committee
that made the survey pronouncing
the matter largely one of finances.
A practical highway can be con-
structed over the distance, except
for bridges, the committee reported
for approximately $f500,000. Rec
ommendaHon that ferries be used
over the stretches of open water UNI
til funds are available for bridge
building was made.
Unless outside aid is rendered,
however, construction of the road
may be completed only in sections,
owing to Monroe county's inability
to bond itself above 100000. A
date early in September is being dis
cussed as the time to vote on
bond issue to begin the work.
The state highway department, at
it's last quarterly meeting, voted to
give the project it's assistance to
the extent of engineering advice.

Cotton Crop Credits
AS Usual Promised
By Reserve Bankers

No change is contemplated by the
Atlanta Federal Reserve bank from
its custom of extending credit ac-
commodations to member banks for
handling the cotton crop this fall.
This is made clear In a letter adj
dressed Saturday morning by Gov
ernor M. r. Wellborn to the Manu-.
facturers' Record Of Baltimore.
The text Of the letter follows:
Replying to your inquiry, mem.
Der banks of the Federal Reserve
bank of Atlanta, do not ask from us
a formal statement each year as to
what we propose to do toward
financing the coming cotton crop, as
they know full well from past eX-
perience that we have always eX-
tended to them accommodation in
discounting notes secured by cotton.
This has been our unvarying policy
since our bank was established. We
have always accepted for rediscount
all notes secured by cotton or any
other commodity properly stored
and insured, and therefore there eX-
lists no doubt among our member
banks as to our policy in this con
neCtiOn,"

CROSS CONTINENTAL
AIR MAIL FLIGHTS
COMPLETE SUCCESS

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-(By the As.
sociated Press)-One of the most Sc
we're air craft tests in the history
Of aviation was completed Saturday
when mail planes dropped out OF
the sky at New York and San Fran
cisco and disgorged their burden of
letters.
Since last Tuesday, the airpIanes
have roared across the continent,
spanning the country eight times
in less than five days, four times
from east TO west and four times
from west to east, in testing the
feasibility of carrying mail be.
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
by continuous air route.
During the time of the transcOG-
tinental flights eastward and west
ward, the planes operated on q def
rite schedule of a little over "a hours
without an accident and in reldyirg
the mail from coast to coast flew
at night over a lighted airway from
Chicago to Cheyenne. Postal of
ficials declared even before the tests
were completed that the practicable
ity of the project had been proved
and announced that a conference
will soon be held to determine the
future of transcontinental airpla he
mail service.
The planes that landed Saturday
finished the fourth transcontinental
journey which started Friday
morning. The eastbound plane land
ed at New York at 11:17 o'clock,
having made the trip from San
Francisco in twenty.six hours and
seventeen minutes, three minutes
behind the record for a transconti-
mental flight established by the mail
plane landed in New York Fri
day.
The westbound plane landed at
San Francisco at IA p. M, having
spanned the continent in twenty
nine hours and forty minutes, two
more minutes than was taken by
the plane landing at the Golden
Gate on Friday. There was lapse
Of about forty miles in the first east
bound fight, the plane having been
held up at Laramie beyond its
scheduled time for departure and
it's successor leaving Omaha before
the relay of mail was completed.
Aside from breaking the record
for a transcontinental fight. rec
ord for the longest night flight was
broken in connection with the tests
when Pilot Jack knight Friday night
flew from Cheyenne to Buchanan,
Mich, nearly thousand niles away,
when he received a telegram that
his father was not expected to live
and received permission to use a
mail plane in rushing to his bedside.
The race through the night with
death part of the time over the
lighted airway between Cheyenne
and Chicago was won by the. pilot
who arrived at Buchanan Saturday
to find his father, DIR M. M.
knight, still alive.

John Henry Willie Cloud NOEL

No, the foregoing is not a "pied"
line and it is not an ejaculation; it
is simply the name of negro man
who was arrested Saturday by Coun-
ty Policemen Jack Carroll and j. w.
Williams on a charge of kidnapping.
When they took him to the Full
ton tower and asked his name he
rolled it off as if calling a class
roll. The officers gasped and then
smiled and then laughed, but the
negro was serious.

INDEPENDENT HAMMERS GAS
PRICE TO 6 CENTS; CLAIMS
NEW METHOD OF REFINING

Gehr. 1t was announced that they
would undersell Gehr by one cent,
no matter what Gehr's price might
be. Gehr learned they meant to
put him out of business. He smiled.
Every day found the price sign
before Gehr's station one cent lower
than that of the day before. The
enemy promptly would cut Gehr's
posted price by onefcent. Meanwhile
the gas war became general. The
rival concern, backed by the big
company, was confident it ultimate
ly would break him.
Down went Gehr'S posted prices
until the target sign was marked
with a big "9." The rival station
Immediately cut its price to eight
cents. While the enemy wasn't look
ing Gehr turned his trick sign up
way the siX-cent gas came 10 Los
Angeles.
Claims New Process
The rival station, surprised at the
lack of customers, sent out scout
who read Gehrs sign with bulging
eyes. He reported back that the
price was six cents. But when 9th
ers came out to look they found the
blS9 stain lllClik III lJO- LdNC'
They told the scout he was crazy.
For two days now, with this
strategy, Gehr has held the big
station, determined to put him out
Of business, absolutely helpless.
Whenever the rival company adver-
tises gas at eight cents, Gehr has
his sign at 80" And when the rival
drops to a nickel, Gehr simply whirls
his sign back to 49,"
Now the big companies have found
out about Gehr's ace in the hole.
He is not buying gas at all. He is
getting it from the newly organized
Sterling Refining company which
happens to be Gehr's own company,
with q plant at Santa Fe Springs,
local gusher field.
my gasoline is produced by an
entirely new process which bids fair
to increase the yield of gas to such
an extent that the motoring public
must benefit through low prices for
years to come" said Gehr today. "It
seems to be that gasoline should sell
for what it is worth. II it is worth
only a nickel, it will have to sell for
that"
Only few weeks ago gas was two
bits a gallon. Today six cents will
get you that quantity, and the Ford
sheiks and their gasoline seishas are
burning the potent stuff far into the
night.
Such is war.

fornia fruit growers, with the
states largest fruit crop on their
hands, are facing heavy losses but
consumers next winter will probably
have to pay higher prices for
canned fruit than since 1920. This
condition threatens from refusal of
jobbers, wholesalers and retailers to
place further orders with Gamers.
In consequence many Gamers are
refusing to buy fruit even at pres
ent reduced prices.
Gamers said today that practi,
4cally no advance orders for winter
delivery had been received. This
had forced them in the last ten
days to curtail plans for a normal
pack. The shortened output, they
contend, must cause increased
prices next winter
Meanwhile many growers are per-
hitting fruit to rot on the trees,
claiming that it is impossible to
harvest their products except at a
loss
