A NERvY MAN.

About the nerviest man we
have read about in a long time is
a fellow who is said to reside at
Winchester. The other even
ing he was out taking a spin IN
his fhvver and in the process of
his exuberation at the extremely
nice weather, or something of
that sort, he failed to see a big
Cadillac 8 and had the nerve to
collide with it, badly damaging
both cars. 1t takes a lot of
nerve to do a trick like that
Genesee News.
We might state for the bene-
fit of our readers that the accr-
dent happened on the Baune hill
near Cottonwood, the Ford was
sold for junk and brought $50
The cost to repair the Cadillac
was about $40.
Home motorists acquainted
with the Bune hill, where two ac'
cidents have already occurred
are taking extraordinary precau
tions on this curve, judging from
the tracks of the cars on botf
right and left side of the road.

receipt of a letter coming from
Senator William E. Borah, facsi-
mile to the one sent to President
O'Shea of the Federal Land
Bank, of Spokane, Wash, which
is self explanatory, and no doubt

MAY BE SIGNIFICANT
President May Get Support
Of Negro Delegates
in 1924.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE


Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, d. C., Sept. 21.-Henry
Lincoln Jackson of Georgia, probably
the most influential of the negro poll
teal leaders of the country, had a
private talk with President Coolidge
in the White House Thursday.
johnson is the member of the ma
tienal Republican committee from
Georgia who caused u stir at the 1920
national Republican convention at
Chicago whelf his delegates nominated
him from the floor to the surprise
of the other Republicans who claimed
it had been agreed he would not make
a fight for a place on the Republican
national committee.
Since that time he was nominated
by Mr.. Harding to be recorder of
deeds in the District of Columbia, but
the United States Senate declined to
confirm the nomination.
Asked what the purpose of his visit
to the White House was, johnson said
on leaving the executive offices:
Il was feeling bully and l came to
pay my respects to President Cool
idge.
"You know 1 was educated almost
entirely by New England Yankees,
friends and neighbors of Mr.. Coolidge,
90 ! feel that through his friends he
has been my schoolmaster.
A Snappy Talker.
johnson is tall figure with an
oratorical turn of phrase and an en-
phatic style of expression.
"Are you still Republican national
committeeman from Georgia." he was
asked by one of the newspapermen
who had not been following the af-
fairs of negro voters in the South very
closely.
~Yes,- snapped Johnson, II am and
i "'ways will be-"
Probably the visit of johnson means
the support to President Coolidge of
certain negro delegates from the
Southern states to the Republican ma
tional convention of 1924.
There always is scramble to swing
those delegates in line and there have
been FREQUENT contests as to the eli
gibility of the delegates usually on the
ground that improper influence is
brought to bear to secure their sup
port.
The President Is. OF course. anx-
ious for the presidential nomination
and so far as official Washington is
concerned. there is little doubt that he
has the inside track.
Only today Postmaster General
New added his prediction to that Of
other members Of the cabinet TO the
effect that Mr.. Coolidge will win.
When certain Republican leaders
told President Coolidge that he should
appoint G. Bascom Slcmp as his nriv-
ate secretary they paid high tribute
to the latter's political ability.
Mr.. Slemp. however. has not been
in good favor with the negro politi-
cal leaders so President COOLIDGE has
had to act more or less as conciliator
