sociated Press).-Walter F. George
of Vienna, Ga., received 304 county
units votes out of Georgia's total of
400 in yesterday's special senatorial
primary, held to nominate a successor
tq the late United States Senator
Thomas E. Watson ,according to com
plete unofficial returns compiled this
morning by the Atlanta Constitution.
Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick, Mr.
George's nearest opponent, received 74
unit votes and. Seaborn Wright 22,
while John R. Cooper of Macon failed
to carry a county, according to the re
turns.
Atlanta, Oct. 17. (By the Associated
Press.)-With 26 counties yet to be
heard from in today's special sena
torial primary, the nomination of
Judge Walter F. George of Vienna to
succeed the late United States sena
tor, Thomas E. Watson, was virtually
assured, according to incomplete un
official returns compiled tonight by
the Atlanta Constitution.
- Judge George had a decisive ma
jority of 250 county unit votes or 41
more than the 200 necessary for nom
ination, The Constitution's returns
showed, and of the 136 counties tabu
lated he had carried 104 as compared
with 24 for Gov. Thomas W. Hardwick
,who was credited with 96 county unit
fotes.
Seaborn Wright of Rome was run
ning a poor third. He carried his
home county.of Floyd and five others,
whicli gave him a total of 20 unit
votes.
John R. Cooper of Macon had not
carried a single county, according to
The Constitution's figures. /
- The Constitution's returnsAndicated
that Maj. C. E. McGregor of War
renton had won the nomination over
his four opponents in the race for
state pension comimsisoner to suc
ceed the late Judge John W. Lind
sey.
Nomination in a Democratic pri
mary in Georgia is considered as
equivalent to election, and it is
thought certain that the nomination
will be confirmed in the regular elec
tion on November 7.
Judge George will succeed Mrs. W.
H. Felton, who was given an ad in
terim appointment to the United State
senate following the death recently
of Senator Watson. Although ap
pointed to the senatorial vacancy it
has been considered pragtically cer
tain that Mrs. Felton will not have,
the honor of appearing on the senate
floor, President Harding having been
reported as expressing an opinion that
he thought It Inadvisable to call an
extra session of Congress prior to
the opening session in Decerntber.
Judge 'e sorge is 44 years of age
and has long been prominent in the
affairs of Georgia. He was born Jan
uary 29, 1878, in Webster county, hie
son of Robert T. and Sarah Staple
ton George. He is a graduate of
Mercer university, where he received
his degree in law in 1001.

cnit and served six years. He was
then appointed superior court judge
of the circuit, which position he held
until January 1, 19017, resIgning, fol
lowing his election to the state court
of appeals.
After serving ten months on the
appeals bench Judge George was ap
pointed as judge of the supreme court
and resigned January 1 of thIs year
to resume private law practice at his
home in Vienna.

job in an orchestra, but that business
was business.

BELL FOUND GULITY
IN FLORIDA COURT
Clearwater, Fla., Oct. 17.-Abraham
Bell, charged with a misdemeanor in
connection with the death of his son,
Gibson, last winter, becaues he was
alleged to have refused medical treat,
ment, depending upon rleigious minis
trations, was found guilty in the coun
ty court here today. His attorneys
gave notice of a plea for a new trial.
The motion for a new trial had not
been granted when court adjourned
It was reported that sentence would
be pronounced tomorrow.
Bell was on the stand during the en
tire day answering. a cross fire of
questions from the state. The defense
condemned the act of local physicians
in entering the home of the father to
request him to administer diptheria
anti-toxin to the child. Attorneys said
this caused the boy to become excited
and probably hastened his death. It
wa, brought out in the evidence that
the boy had died while his father was
leading him across the room by the
hand.
Examination of Bell by the state
dealt largely with the ability of Chris
tian Science practitioners, through di
vine assistance, to effect cures. Bell
himself had become a healer, he testi
fied. He attended a two week's course
at the Christian Science school. This
course dlid not include hygiene in the
common application, he said, but only
mental hygiene.

SCHOOL NOTES
One of the most enjoyable events of
the season was a peanut boiling given
by Miss Bertha Clark at her home,
Friday evening in honor of the
eleventh grade of the Manning High
School. As the guests arrived they
were ushered into the living room
where we were turned loose to have
a good time, being very informal. The
piano was at our disposal so we were
highly entertained throughout the
evening by good music by Misses Ger
trude Gee and Frances Dickson. After
nvitf on the back porch ywhere every
one did justice to the large bowls of
peanuts that greeted us. After eat
ing the peanuts our humorous friend
and classmate Mr. R. C. Wells, Jr.,
gave us several recitations and
musical selections which we all enjoy
ed thoroughly. After eating lots of
fruit we had to bid our hostess good
night thanking her for one of the most
delightful evenings spent in some
time.

RAILROADS TO SPEND
MUCH MONEY SOON
Cincinnati, Oct. 17.-That the rail
roads of the country will expend
millions of dollars for new yards,
trackage and warehouses within the
next five years was the opinion ex
pressed today by C. R. Knowles of
Chicago president of the American
Railway Bridge and Building as. o
ciation, in annual convention adldres
here.
"While it is usual for the railroads
to spend millions of dollars annually
for repairs and in' provements the
amount that will be spent within the
next five years will be the greatest
in history" said Mr. Knowles. "The
car shortage which exists at the
present time is the result of extreme
ly heavy movement of freight tied
up during the rail and coal strikes.
During the period following the World
war there was little opportunity for
the carriers to spend money Tor im
provements. With the monetary sit
uation impro\ved the railroads can
nowv more easily obtain goods to make
repairs and expansions."

PULL FOR MANNING
New Zion, S. C.
Editor Manning Times,
Dear Sir:
Please give me space in your valu
able paper to mention briefly some
things a party of friends and I saw
in North Carolina last week.
Messrs. W. C. Plowden, W. T. Ken
nedy, J. W. Morris, and I left the
above named place at 8 o'clock in the
forenoon in company with Mr. R. D.
Cothran of Manning, to go Ito Wilson
North Carolina, to visit the tobacco
market and get some information at
first hand.
We went via Florence, crossing the
Pee Dee River at Mars Bluff. Of
course the reader will understand that
we went in automobiles, after cross
ing the river we went via Marion, Lat
ta, Dillon, Rowland, N. C., Lumber
ton, St. Paul, Fayettsville, and Dunn.
We arrived at Dunn, about dark, and
put up for the night. After supper
we set out to investigate conditions
in this charming little city, for such
it is as it has beautiful streets, elec
tric lights, good business houses, and
every thing that goes to make up a
real modern city.
We found stores crowded with cus
tomers, and business on a real boom,
out around the freight station we saw
about fifteen hundred bales of white
cotton whose staple, had neve:r been
tinged by the boll weevil pest that
had been sampled and sold that day
on the independent cotton market of
this little city.
We talked to business men in gen
eral about how business was, every
body said with one accord, good, but
we are expccting the boll weevil next
year.
We were very much impressed with
the roa(Is and beautiful country from
I umberton, to Dunn, cotton planted
in abundance and much of it would
make more than a bale per acre.
We left Dunn Sunday morning and
went via Benson, Smithfield, Selna, to
Wilson, this too is a beautiful sec
tion made up of fine cotton and to
bacco farms. We arrived in Wilson
about noon Sunday. We went to the
Briggs hotel and registered, and after
getting a much needed rest we put
out to see some of the sights we had
had heard awaited us in the king to
bacco city of the world. Our curios
ity carried us around quite a bit.
We of course walked down to the
tobacco warehouse section. 1Here we
got a glimpse of what we had heard
so much talk about for years, Wilson's
large tobacco warehouses, we had not
been here long before these large
establishments were opened up and
tobacco began to pour in in solid
trains of wagons, this continued
throughout the night, my room was
near the street and I could hear the
rumbling of wagon wheels as they
passed down the streets headed to
wards the biggest bright tobacco cen
ter in the world.
We got up next morning bright and
early and again went (Iown to inspect
at first hand what was going on in
Wilson from a tobacco market stand
point. We found the warehouses
lipping full to overflow, and wagons
standing in the street at six o'clock
in the morning. At nine o'clock the
auction sales began with four sets of
buyers, and I mean four auctio.i sales
going on at the same time in four
seperate houses too, and believe me
things were moving and humming.
We found the tobacco sales entirely
satisfactory to the growers, we heard
no grumbling, we found that Wilson
has a much better grade of tobacco
than we have in our section. And
aside from the better types the prices
were about like they were on the Man
ning market this year. We walked
around the tobacco center until we
had convinced ourselves that Wilson
was a real tobacco market. We were
told that the six houses had up that
day around one million pounds(1, and
we do not dloubt the statement either,
as it looked to us we had ind~eedl come
to the biggest thing of the kind pos
sible to be gotten together in one
place.
We thinik that we were much b me
fitted by our trip to Wilson. We have
come back home full of newv thoughts,
new asperations. We wvant to see
bigger things (lone in Clarcndon
County. We want to see our pleople
make better grades of t -bacco, we
want to see them improve in their
methods of growing and handling, we
found that the farmer in Wilson
County, N. C., that used good methods
was being wvell p~aid for his efforts.
We want to see the business men
of Manning get behind a movement
that will give us better methods of
handling our tobace'o in 1922 than we
had this year. We want to see R. D.
gothran have a better house next
year. We all feel kindly towards him
and the Manning market, and the
business men of Manning in general,
we are well pleased with the good
roadls leading to Manning. Let's wvake
upl for 1923.
Yours respectfully,
.T. II. Duflose.

PERSHING LAUDS
NORTH CAROLINA
General Sees Americanism Lived
There
AT OPENING OF FAIR
All He Needs to Visit State is Invita
tion and Tine, lie Says.
Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 17.-"When I
hear people talk about Americanism
I am going to tell them to come to
North Carolina and see it lived," Gen.
John .J. Pershing told thousands of
cheering Tarheels on the mud-soaked
grounds the state fair today at noon
when he spoke briefly following the
formal opening of the fair by Gov.
Cameron Morrison.
General Pershing, who reviewed reg
ular army artillerymen, National
Guard troops and North Carolina
State college R. O. T. C. in a parade
which he led to the state fair, left
this afternoon at 5:40 o'clock for New
Orleans, where he will attend the con
vention of the American Legion.
The only mishap of the day, oc
curred when three rounds of General
Pershing's salute had been fired by
Fort Bragg artillery. A team of
horses, frightened by the shots, dash
ed straight at the artillery outfit. The
crowd scattered but theartillerymen
stuck to their mounts until horses,
imen and equipment were piled to
gether at the foot of a tree, 100 yards
from their starting place. Privates
O'Dell an dMitchell of Battery B, Sec
ond Field artF 'ry, were injured.
Geenral Per ing was greeted with
a roar of applause from the thousands
packed in front of him. Beginning
with a few pleasantries he coi grat
ulated North Carolina on the national
industry of the people and continued:
"That government is short sighted
that fails to read the lessons of his'ory
and to make some sort of preparation
for waar. We have now on the statu te
books a military policy which if .lo
veloped will give us reasonable pre
paredness and I know it will have the
support of the veterans of the World
war.
"I see before me many men who
served in the World war. I desire to
take this oportunity to say to them
that the records of soldiers of North
Carolina are not surpassed by that of
the troops of any state.
"Hlereafter, When I hear people talk
about Americanism I am r ng to tell
them to come down to Not o Carolina
and see it lived. Your heritage im
poses an obligation on you. But why
tell you all this ? You know it better
than I do. But I do want to tell
you that North Caroline ,cads the
United States in producing real Ameri
cans and hereafter, all that I want to
bring me to this state is an invita
tion and a day that I can take away
from the work that is mine."
