COOLIDGE AND DAWES
DEFEAT DEMOCRATS

With partial returns from practical
ly every state in the Union, the elec-
tion of Calvin Coolidge and Chas.
Dawes as president and vice-president
Of these United States seems assured,
their victory approaching the proper
tions of landslide.
Practically all of the states east Of
the Mississippi, with the exception Of
the solid south went republican,
many of the doubtful northern states,
such as Rhode Island, Massachusetts.
Delaware and New Jersey, giving Cool
idge an overwhelming majority. At
last reports Coolidge was leading by
several thousand votes in West Vir-
ginia, Davis home state. California
has piled up big lead for Coolidge
The "sOlid south, including Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Kentucky and Okla
homa, went for Davis and Bryan, ac-
cording to latest reports and in only
one state, Wisconsin, did la Toilette
have a lead. Davis has not carried
state north of the Mason-Dixon line
with the possible exception Of Ken
tucky and Missouri.
AL Smith, democrat. was elected
governor of New York by 100000 ma
jority in spite Of the fact that the
state went for Coolidge by approx
mately 100000 votes.
Missouri has evidently elected a
democratic governor, but late returns
indicate that the state will go to
Coolidge for president.
J. c. Walton. democrat and Klan
antagonist, has been defeated for the
U. S. Senate in Oklahoma by his OPP
ponent, w. b. Pine, republican. while
the state is going to Davis by big
vote.
According to latest returns it is
doubtful if La Toilette will carry his
own state, Wisconsin. Late reports
indicate a very close race in that state
with Coolidge second. All the other
la Toilette territory is already con-
ceded to the republicans.
Ma Ferguson, democrat, of Texas
has defeated her republican opponent
by a two to one majority.
Arkansas piled up her usual demo-
cratic majOrities for the Davis electors
and for the congressional and senate
candidates.
The heavy Coolidge vote seems to
point to a republican control of the
house of representatives, but il is be-
lieved that the democrats and republi-
cans in the senate will he so evenly
divided that the radicals will controk
the balance of power.
That approximately twO-thirds of the
House and Senate will be dry, as at
present, appeared a certainty.
In Randolph county only about 1,500
votes were cast. very small percent
age of our voting strength. The vote
by townships, with the exception of
three which have not yet been reported,
appears on another page in this issue.

ed fourteen bales Of cotton on the plat
form Of the Schnabaum gin here Mon

with baled cotton and the fire started
somewhere about the center of the

hundred people TO the scene.
The undamaged bales were rolled
from the platform and the fire hose

blaze was extinguished with little dam
age except to the cotton. The loss was

WOMAN IS INJURED
WHEN STRUCK BY CAR

Mrs. W. +, Riggs, living just east of
Pocahontas on the Walnut Ridge road,
is in a serious condition as a result
Of being struck by an automobile early
Wednesday morning. Linn Snow, aged
about twenty, a son of Bill Snow who
lives near the county line between
Lesterville and Fender, is under ar
rest as a result of the accident.
Eye Witnesses to the accident say
it could easily have been avoided and
place the blame on Snow. j. r. Lynch
and Lem Davis, the first two on the
scene after Mrs. Riggs was struck,
state that as they were driving east
just past the filling station at the end
Of the Black river bridge dump. they
saw Mrs. Riggs about Il hundred feet
ahead on the north side of the road
coming in the direction of town Mr..
Lynch said that he saw Shows car
coming d0Nh "Sand Hill' at a high
rate of Speed and that it was for
over to the right of the road, complete
ly Off the rock road. According to
Mr.. Lynch, the woman was well out of
the main road and there was no OBJ
Struction which would have prevented
Snow from turning back into the road
to prevent striking her. 1t is said
that Snow said he turned out to pass
another car but witnesses say that
there was no other car in the vicinity
of the accident.
The car struck Mrs Riggs squarely
from behind, throwing her violently
to the ground and then running over
her and dragging her about fifteen feet
before the machine was stopped. When
Lynch and Davis reached the scene
they left their car and picked up the
injured woman who was unconscious
and breathless. Snow said he would
come to town for doctor and immed-
lately left for town. Mrs Riggs was
placed in Davis car and taken to her
home, which was only short distance
away.
Snow came to PocahOntas and stop
ped at the Palace Drug Store where
he told that Mrs. Riggs had been injur-
ed and wanted DR.. Hughes. The doc
tor was sent for and in company with
DIR. ThrOgmoTtOn went to the Riggs
home where they treated the injured
woman.
Officers started search for Snow
and it was learned that he had left
town in the direction of Maynard.
They instituted a search and after
driving through Maynard, Biggers and
Skaggs Ferry overlook Snow near Fen
der where he had stopped at a filling
station. He was brought to town and
later released on bond.
Mrs. Riggs, who is about go years
of age, is reported to be in a serious
condition. She is suffering from
crushed shoulder, many bruises and
lacerations and severe internal injuries.

Lyceum Entertainment Good

The first number of the Pocahontas
1924 Lyceum course was had at the
Methodist church Monday night. The
attraction was the HOllanders, a male
quartette, and the entertainment was
excellent. The Lyceum this year is
being sponsored by the Senior class Of
the Pocahontas High School and what
ever amount is realized over and above
the cost of the course will go to the
class. There will be three more num-
bers-one the latter part of this month

day reversed and remanded for new
trial the case of the state VS. Horace
Burrow, who was convicted and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary from this
county at the last term of circuit court.

Record Cotton Picker

Remmel James, eight year old son
Of Wesley James, residing east of
Black river, broke the record for boys
of his age when on Thursday of last
week he picked 153 pounds of cotton.
We think this is extra good for a boy
of that age and a record that any boy
would have to work hard to equal.
He expects to go to the fair with bale
in the next few years.
