LOSES RIGHT FOOT
Mr. C. P. Harris Suffers Pain
ful Accident Wednesday
iiMirrn ,
Mr. C. P. Harris, one of Franklin
county's most successful planters and
business men, and State Senator from
this district, lost his right foot as the
result of the blade of a mowing ma
chine striking him above the ankle,
while out In his field Wednesday after
noon. Drs. R. F. Yarborough and H.
H. Johnson were called, and after tem
porary aid was rendered Mr. Harris
was taken to a hospital in Raleigh
where his foot was amputated between
the ankle and knee.
From what we could learn of the ac
cident it seems that, Clyde, son of Mr.
Harris, was operating a mowing ma
chine cutting some peas. itr. Harris
went out to see about them noticed
that the harness needed adjustment
and after making same, forgetting that
the blade of the mower was on the side
he was on picked up a weed and struck
the mule, causing the mules to jump
off, which brought the blade In con
tact with Mr. Harris' leg before he
realized the danger. The leg w*a com
pletely severed, except a few of the
sinews.
His many friends in Franklin coun
ty sympathize with Mr. Harris, in his
misfortune.

VIRGINIA CO-OPS
BREAK A RECORD
Members of Sun Cured Pool
Paid For 1923 Crop Before
1924 Season
(8. D. Frlssell)
The Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association Is making final settlement
this week for the crop of 1923 deliver
ed by Its members of the sun.cured
pool of Virginia. This makes a new
record in sales and settlement by the
association.
The Virginia growers of the sun
cared weed who were th'e first tobac
co farmers In the Carollnas and Vlr?
ginla to organize are the first mem
bers of the tri-state pool to enjoy full
settlement on one crop before they
begin marketing another.
Large deliveries by the farmers of
the old tobacco belt to the associa
tion's warehouses make It evident
that the association will Increase its
perecentage of receipts in Western
^Jorth Carolina and Virginia.
Memebers of the association in
Eastern North Carollnahave marketed
their tobacco gradually during the
rains and the knowledge that the as
sociation Is maintaining its highest
cash advances, has enabled them to
save their cotton crop without the
fear of falling prices.
E. S. Lamb, a prominent farmer of
Johnston County, was found In con*
tempt of court by Superior Court
Judge M. V. Barnhill at Qoldsboro last
Saturday for selling tobacco on the
auction floors of Wilson In the face
of an injunction requiring Its delivery

Lamb was sentenced to pay his own
board and lodgipg in jail for twenty

DEMOCRACY'S CHA3CES
One of the pleasant Republican fic
tions of this campaign is that La
Follette's candidacy is hurting Davis
more than Coolldge; the split in the
Republican ranks is going to help that
party's candidate. This is a fair sam
ple of Republican political logic.
Old timers will recall that this waa
their process of reasoning In 1912.
The then Republican chairman, Char
les D. Hllles, exulted over the num
ber of Democrats Roosevelt would
take away from that party and over
the Republican party's "strengthened
hold on the East," to use his own
words. He prophesied that Taft
would receive 290 electoral votes; ha
rtcelved 8.
Chairman Hilles in 1912 with Roose
velt leading a revolt in the Republi
can party, and Chairman Butler In
1924. with LaFollette leading the
present revolt against the same old
reactionary interest-controlled Repub
lican Old Guard which Roosevelt re
belled against ? these two Republican
National Chairmen speak the same
laa?aage, - the same words,
twelve years ap&rt.
Clam Shaver, the Democratic Na
tional Chairman, on the other hand,
shocked every politician in the coun
try a few weeks ago by giving out a
forecast which was an honest opinion
and did not prophesy his candidate's
election as a certainty.
The Truth Is that there is to be no
miracle in this campaign. The split
in the Republican party is going to
hurt the Republican candidate; Is go
ing to take the electoral votes of soma
ordinarily Republican stateB away
from Coolidge, to give them by plural
ities to Davis or LaFoIette, to which
one remains to be seen. It is not go
ing to takg,out of the regular Demo
cratic column a single state. LaFol
lette's candidacy renders forecasting
more difficult, more uncertain than
usual, bu? it doesn't help Coolidge.
and it doesn't help Dawes. That it
strengthens Democracy's chances is
easily perceived when the matter ia
given thought.
DAVIS CALLS CONSERVATION
BASIS OF ALL TRUE THRIFT
By J. V. CLARKE
NEW YORK ? A nation to be suc
cessful must be thrifty, according to
John W. Davis, Democratic candi
date for President. He adds that he |
?considers the logical basis tor Ameri
can ihriit to be the conservation ot
our natural resox;rces. Indeed, he
stresses that part ot bis party's plat
form advocating this.
Seen at Democratic Headquarters
j ,here, he spoke strongly for national
.saving and, above all, for the guard
ing and protection of oar great
fnatural resources of wealth.
) Mr. Davis considers the Democra
tic platform one of the best in his
[tory. Among other planks he men
tioned that covering the conservation
?of natural resources and, under this
|bead, stressed the need to protect
the country's wild life and especially
its waterfowL
The Democratic nominee is thor
oughly familiar with this subject. He
spoke of the great value (over one
.billion dollars) of out" wild lite and
?mentioned that in many states the
wild i.;c is more valuable than the
'4omcst<*c live stoclc The waterfowl
of the counlry lead all other forms
of wild life in value.
, The fact that, of the 7.000,000
'hunters iu the country. 4.000.000 are
hunters of migratory waterfowl,
natarolly impressed Mr. Davis with
the urgcr.t rt e?l of conservation. Ut>?
lc?s adequafe breeding, feeding and
rtiUlr.x grounds are provided, he
