 MT. Roosevelt referred his listen- CTS to Gainesville, Ga. There yes- terday afternoon, at the dedication of rural identification project, he sat on the speakers platform with Sen. George and U. s. District At- torney Lawrence Camp, who is op- posing him in the Sept. primary as the zoo per cent New Deal" can- didate. The audience of 10000 com- prised adherents of George, Camp, and of former Governo Eugene Talmadge who also seeks the sena- torial nomination.
 What I am about to say" Mir Roosevelt began, twill be no news to my old friend Sen Walter George because I have recently had per- sonal correspondence with him and as result of it, he fully knows my views"
 Gentleman, Scholar
 He praised him as gentleman and scholar" then cited their diff ferences of opinion on government Then he said:
 Therefore, repeat, that I trust that Sen. George and I will always be good personal friends ever though I am impelled to make il clear that on most political ques- tions he and I do not speak the same language.
 T have no hesitation in saying that If I were able to vote in the September primaries in this state, most ass'lredly would cast my bal lot for Lawrence Camp"
 George who, with Sen. Smith hac fought the Presidents supreme court reorganization bill, govern. ment reorganization, the wages ant hours bill and other less important New Deal measures, listened grave. ly. He spoke to the President wher he had finished:
 MT. Roosevelt, regret that yor have taken this occasion to ques. tion my Democracy and to attacl my public record. I want you tt know that I accept the challenge.
 The President shaking hand! with George, replied:
 God bless you Walter, hopt we'll always be friends"
 MT. Roosevelt, the day before al Warm Springs, had expressed thu hope that Camp would be the mex senator from Georgia.
 George Not Only Target
 But George was not his only tar. get at Barnesville. He said tha Gov. Talmedge, New Deal ant Roosevelt enemy of long standing had little to contribute to govern. ment. He attacked Talmadge be cause of his promises and his ad. vocacy Of panaceas in politica campaigns. In the preser. cam. paign, Talmadge is promising tt work for a measure which wouJt have the government give 30 acre' of land to every man.
 Attaches aboard the presidential train let 1t be known that MT Roosevelt's speeches were not in. tended so much for local consufnp. ton as they were for any politicp battlefield nj the nation where tht principles of the New Deal are be. ing challenged.

Jury WiH Get Case

He told the jury that Dwyer had mo assurc lces from me as to what he could expect /. unacceptable evil dence of guilt marks every turn and corner of this case. The secret is finally out; the truth is finally yours"
 Ingalls concluded at 11:05 a. m. and a five-minute recess was taken before Defense Counsel Clyde R. Chapman began his summation.
 Defense Argument
 Defense Counsel Clyde R. Chap man congratulated the state on it's most ingenious case" but told the jury that "the murderer of Dr. Lit tlefield already has been convicted by an Oxford County jury. While it is not now incumbent upon the defense, it has again proven Paul Dwyer the murderer"
 pr. Littlefield was bludgeoned and strangled in the bathroom of Dwyer's Paris Hill home the night of last Oct. 13. The state contends that Carroll committed the murder after the physician had threatened to expose and jail him for alleged ly seducing his own daughter, IT, year-old Barbara Carroll, Dwyer's former sweetheart.
 Barbara, wearing a white dress, sat with her mother in the spec tators' section of the packed court room.
 Built Ingeniously
 "This case has been built up moss ingeniously for the purpose oi convicting Francss Carroll" Chap- main said. He argued that Carroll though under suspicion for murder first was arrested on charge of violating his daughter, thereby poisoning the community against him.
 When you boil down the states case and take away the testimony of Paul Dwyer, what have you got?' asked Chapman.
 You've got cigarette lighter; you have a blow made with a Colt .45; you have the testimony of a girl, a Talbot girl, who six or eigh months afterWard says she saw Francis Carroll on the hill that night; you have that Francis Car. roll possibly drank little more liquor after the murder than be. fore. Beyond that, I don't see tha you really have anything" Analyzed DWyer
 Then Chapman turned to the tes. timony of young Dwyer.
 Paul tells about being intimate l with Barbara Carroll-the woman he says he loves. This champion of the people, who says he stil loves Barbara, vilely and wilfu!l, ruins the character of that gir for all time to come" In presenting his case, Chapman said
 "The state labored and brough forth molehill."
 Chapman recalled testimony yes terday concerning a $50,OOO extor ton note which Dwyer admitted typing but insisted he did so onl, when Carroll threatened his life.
 The state says that the mal who wrote this extortion note wa a weakling who could not kill Dl Littlefield. This living skeleton (Dwyer) was shown to you-afte undoubtedly period of fasting" The attorney charged that tn states case was built on "innuen does and insinuations
 When court recessed at 12:15 r m. (EDT) for lunch, Chapman ha, been speaking for one hour. He vii resume at the afternoon session.

RUSSIA, JAPAN
 IN AGREEMENT

tween the Japanese and Russian troops. But the agreement to re- move corpses made it necessary for them to mingle at least, and to sort out the bodies of their dead, lying together under the hot sun.
 A foreign office spokesman an- nounced tentative Japanese esti- mate of casualties. In the little one month war Japan, 300 dead and 500 wounded up to Tuesday; Russia 5000 killed and wounded
 The spokesman asserted that the military agreement permitted the Japanese to retain the Changkufeng Hill which was the key point in the dispute.
 The boundary commission envis- aged in the Moscow agreement probably would be formed soon, he said, to take up the problem of dis puted areas and possibly to settle the entire border question.
 He added that the agreement made him hopeful for the immedi- ate future of Japanese Russian re- lations but he excused himself from venturing an opinion on its long range significance.
 In his comment, the spokesman opened possible new avenue for negotiations by saying that the pos- sibility of non-aggression pact be- tween Japan and Russia had not been mentioned in the talks at Mos- COW between Japanese Ambassador Mamoru Shigemitsu and Maxim Litvinov, Russian Foreign Commis- sar.
 Tokyo, Aug. 12 U.P) - A member of Japanese mission, tour ing the Manchukuo- Siberian border was shot by an agent of the Rus sian secret police, the Domei (semi- official Japanese) news agency re- ported today from Shikika.
 The shooting occurred at Sagha- lien while Japanese and Russian field commanders met at Changkuf- eng to exchange notes confirming an agreement reached by the Jap anese and Russian governments to end fighting on the frontier.
 The victim of the shooting was a member of 8 party headed by Ryu- kichi Teshirogi, member of the Jap anese parliament. Details of the in- cident were meager. The dispatch said Japanese officials were inves- tigating."

Although the Connecticut com pany owns $40 motor coaches which provide seats for nearly 10000 passengers, the company is able to make use of all of it's coaches and all of this seating capacity only twice daily. This is during the morning and evening rush hours of the week days. The rush hours when people are being carried to and from work total only about four hours each day. During the other 20 hours of the day, a large par tof the big fleet of coaches is standing idle in the company's garages, waiting for the next period when the demands for transit serv- ice will be sufficiently high to call them into use again.
 This peculiarity of the transit in- dustry makes 1t necessary to have g large investment in vehicles which can be employed only a few hours daily, but this investment in equip ment is necessary in order that the company will be ready at all times to meet it's peak load.
 Both during the periods of rush traffic and during the other 20 hours of the day, the Connecticut company strives to use it's motor coaches to the best possible ad- vantage by operating them on their routes in accordance with sched- ules carefully drawn to meet the needs of traffic on each route. To meet the requirements of the va rious lines, on some of which the number of passengers is greater than others, the company has buses of several different sizes. Most of the company's motor coaches have seating capacity of % or 30 passengers, but the com- pany also has four dozen smaller coa aches having only 20 eats which

senatorial nomination in the Aug. 30 primary as the 100 per cent New DeaI' candidate, jumped aboard the train as it came to a stop. Quickly he was on the back platform, introducing the President to the crowd which had gathered round. Sen. Smith, who professes personal admiration for MT Roosevelt and general sympathy for the New Deal, was waiting too, but he was less quick and, delayed by attaches, got no farther than the drawing room.
 Spoke Briefly
 His speech was very brief. He spoke first, humorously, of the fact that he had come to South Carolina from Washington by way of the Pacific coast, the Pacific ocean, and the Panama canal. Then he got down to the business al hand.
 "As you people probably know, he said, q have made two speeches today and there was no time oi portunity to prepare thirc speech. Some of you may have heard what said down in Geor- gia, at Gainesville. Those of yol who did not hear me, I hope vii read in the newspapers what I saic of some of the economic and socia problems of the south; of the neces- sity of meeting those problems by ( consolidation of the interests of al southern states and then by consoli. dating those interests with the in. terests of the whole nation
 That, my friends, cannot be dont without legislation. As President, cannot do 1t alone. The congress O. the United States must pass tht laws.
 His Great Hope
 That is why, in any selection O candidates for members of tn, Senate or members of the House 0 Representatives-if you believe ii the principles for which we ar' striving; wider distribution of na tional income, better conservation of our natural resources, establish ment of a floor under wages ant the bringing of larger buyint power to the farmers of the natior then I hope you will send repre- sentatives to the national legisla ture who will work toward thos, ends.
 PRESIDENT PROVES
 We need not just team work bu more team work in the nationa capital-and I believe we are goin( to get 1t.
 Before I stop-and I believe thu train is pulling out in a minut, or two--I want to suggest twt two things to you: the first is tha a long time ago I promised Coy Johnston that I would come dowr some time this year to visit tn, capital of the state of South Caro- lima. I have never been there, bu am coming. The other thing i that I don't believe any family o man can live on 50 cents a day"
 As MT. Roosevelt spoke his las words, the train began moving an, Gov. Johnston and Sen. Smitl made haste to jump off. This wa a device. it was said, to proven any possibility of Sen. Smith or hi supporters staging demonstra | ton.

In addition, the company has neraly as many large vehicles capable of seating 35 to 37 people for use on routes where the busi- ness is heavy. Scheduling routes to meet the needs of traffic is an art requiring extensive traffic expe- rience.

to prove eOnclusively his fitness,
dependability and usefulness, when
this depression is finally overcome
it will find him permanently ae-
cepted in many fields from which
he has been debarred by preju-
dice or custom. 1t has taught him
many things he had not known and
made easier thereby his advance
ments into white collar jobs al
ways until today allotted only to
white workers.
1t has taught him the need, the
imperative need for that coopera-
ton and unity of effort by which
he has secured his chance. 1t has
taught him a new respect for capa-
BILE and unselfsh leadership.
By and large the past IL months
have not brought him much greater
suffering than has been his lot for
10 these many years. And it offers
for the immediate future much of
benefit if the lessons are properly

Many newspapers have the very
excellent habit at the end of the
year of taking stock of the things
done in the past twelve months. To
draw up a balance sheet of a sort
to show the ratio of things bene-
fetal to those otherwise, that have
engaged the energies and activities
of the people during that period.
1t shows in brief compass the
state of the Union; it permits US
to felicitate upon the happenings
that have resulted in the forward
march of the people or with sober
thought to visualize opportunities
overlooked or neglected and thus
enable us to chart a course for the
months to come.
In the larger view, taking into
account the country as a whole, we
look back over the past IL months
and find a people still held in the
grasp of a terrifying depression
that has failed to yield entirely to
the many efforts and the various
expedients attempted to resolve it.
Dark as this picture looks, for
it must be admitted that it is
painted in somber colors, there
may yet be seen some touches of a
lighter hue, like a sun shining
through a bank of concealing
clouds but inspiring the thought
that things are not hopeless. 1t
assures that the sun of prosperity
though temporarily dimmed, yet is
there in the heavens and will shine
again with the passing of the
clouds.
Among those more encouraging
aspects cleaning in the darkness
of the picture we may note that
there has been no cessation for a
moIaent of efforts to clear the
leadened skies. Our state and
national governments, especially

The Congress and the Chief Execu-
tive, have labOred, though often
fruitlessly, to find a way back to
normally and safety. There has
been no departure from the prin-
ciple that no matter what the cost,
none must be allowed to suffer
from cold or hunger or go shelter
less. There has been much of argu-
ment, often violent dissensiOn
among those whose duty and Privi-
Iege it is to decide the means by
which this should be accomplished.
There has been much of dissatis-
faction and admittedly some suffer
ing, but on the whole we may con-
clude that things could have been
wOrse-much worse.
Another hope of a brighter fu-
ture inheres in the thought that
while the rest of the world has been
embroiled in war or in the prepare
tions for war the people of this
country have not only enjoyed
freedom from this scourge or the
dangers of its preparation, but
have actually consolidated their
determination not to be drawn into
a struggle with other nations save
in defense of their own land.
Even the Panay incident, fresh
in the minds of all, has not weak
ened the country's resolution to
suffer much rather than abandon
it's course of peaceful solution of
every difficulty pointing inexorably
to war as a remedy.
Coming now to a consideration
of the fortunes of our own cOlOred
people we shall see that we too
have prOfited from the trends help
full for the rest OF the population.
In addition we can find some very
valuable aids that we have gained
in the past year.
Governmental grants of work
through WPA and other units have
proven of great value to the
Negro, especially so in Minnesota,
in that their unprejudiced allot-
ment has opened many avenues of
employment heretofore denied
him.
In as much as it has enabled him

Shoe Dye Poisoning
By DR.. W. D. Brown.

Recently a case of shoe dye
poisoning was reported locally. Oc-
casionally throughout the world
;uch odd cases arise. Since they
are preventable by means of pub
licity of the known facts, it is well
that all should know about COM
bination of circumstances that
cause these deaths,
c. L. Ferguson has studied this
problem and has collected the in
formation that we pass on, An
analysis of the dye shows the pres
enee, in most cases, of nitrobenzine
and aniline which are organic poi
sons. These poisons are absorbed
from freshly dyed shoes through
the skin Of the feet without eaus-
ing any local manifestation. They
pass inward and are absorbed into
the blood, changing the delicate
chemico-physical condition Of the
blood. Due to this change the
blood becomes chocolate colored.
The hemoglobin is altered and
loses it's power of carrying oxygen
to the tissues. The individual so
affected becomes cyanotic and he
develops symptoms Of asphyxda
because the air necessary TO life
cannot be absorbed into his system.
Death usually results. Children
seem to be unusually susceptible to
this poison. ..-
Preventive measures are simple
and should be kept in mind; they
are:
l. Don't wear shoes within "a
hours after dye has been applied.
2. Keep recently dyed shoes out
of reach of children. ~.
3. Air recently dyed shoes sew
eral days before wearing them.
