Edwards. who died at a local hospital yesterday afternoon, after being stricken as he sat at the throttle of the Dixie Limited, fast Cen tral of Georgia train going west, re- turned a verdict that he came to his death from a blow on the head that he probably received while passing a bridge over Rocky brook, near where he tumbled to the deck of his engine.

 It was pointed out that even the legality of the county's right to sell bonds for the new building, if approved in the referendum, might be called into question if voted for at the same time that the people are called upon to se- feet party candidates.
 "It will be an interesting question as to who could vote in such a pri- mary, with the referendum on the court house included" Mir. Huey said. "A democratic primary is supposed to be matter for democrats alone, to take part in, while the location of the new court house is a matter on which members of all parties have right to express themselves"
 Mr. Huey added that the same thing might be said of the vote on a school bond issue for the city of Birmingham, but declined to comment on it as it did not come within the Jurisdiction of a county official: He added, however, that it would be confusing to have a vote on city and county matters at the same t4me.

Times Washington bureau,
1922 Ne1C York Are

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA meet
ing of governors of all coal mining
States will be called here to
formulate a general code for i'm
proving working conditions in mines.
ut is quite essential that
the Governors of all States agree
On a general program to eliminate
the hazards of mining" Assistant
Director Read Of the United States
Bureau Of Mines, who has charge
of safety work, declared.
During the last session of Con
gress, Representative John NJ. Rob
isca OF Kentucky, chairman of the
House Committee on Mines and
Mining, suggested the calling Of
such a meeting and Secretary Work
has written the President endorsing
such a plan of action.
Called After Election
1t is understood that the meeting
will be called Immediately after
election, when the various governors
will be able to attend.
In the meantime the Bureau of
Mines is continuing it's efforts to get
mine operators to buy safe electrical
equipment and to use rock busting
methods for preventing explosions.
Accidents from all causes at coal
mines caused the death Of 166 miners
in August alone, according to an.
3
reau of Mines.
During the past fourteen years
the Bureau of Mines. in cooperation
with managers of electrical ma
/ chinery and equipment for mines,
has conducted thousands Of tests on
apparatus submitted by manufac-
turers to detrmine whether the dc
vice is safe for use in explosive
atmospheres.
Require Approved Equipment
One Of the purposes of the pro
/ posed meeting Of State Governors
will be to get laws passed requiring
use Of approved equipment.
! 'Of course, no Governor can &C
/ tually compel a Legislature to pass
/ certain laws, but if the Governors
/ Of all mining States would get to-
gether and agree on safety require
ments, it would go great way to-
ward lessening disasters" Read de
clared.
Read said that reports received by
/ the Bureau OF Mines for the first
eight months 1924 show that .62S
men have been killed by mine acct
dents. This means that for every
million tons of coal mined during
that period more than four men
lost their lives. The exact rate was
4.58 per mission. as compared with
4.12 in 1928.

further the enormous overhead ex.
pense caused by the commission form
of government now operating in the
Statehouse. saying it had flooded the
floors and the basement with en-
ployes, running over into adjoining
buildings around the square
The whole system, he said, was
contrary to the Democratic ideas Of
the ability Of the small units, the
cities, towns and counties to govern
themselves, and expressed mis- hciiCf
in local self-government TO the great
est possible degree. Displaying an
illustrated chart of the various
boards and commissions with their
long lists Of salaried officials and
paid employees, he proceeded to point
out substantial economics that could
be made. He expressed surprise that
the apologists for the present Adrlin.
istration could expect the people to
believe in the face Of their tax bills
that there was anything in the state
ment that a 30-cent tax rate was an
improvement over the Ralston
regime.
Since assessed valuations are
more than twice as much as they
were in the Ralston administration,
even a child knows that the actual
tax payments are enormously in
creased he said. DIR. McCulloch
also emphasized the fact that TO Sc
cure lower taxes economy must not
be confined to the Statehouse alone,
but the smaller units should also
participate themselves in a crusade
against unnecessary expenditures.
He expressed his intention, If
elected. to recommend to the Legisla-
ture that a revaluation Of all real
estate be made next year instead of
the year after next, as the law pro
vides.

MILLION BBLS. Of
OIL USED DAILY
Five Months Supply Held in

In 1859, the total crude oil pro-
