GEORGIA VOTERS HAVE .
, . HOT PRIMARY TODAY
Ku Klux Issue Has Been In
jected Into the Campaign
By Hardwijk Congress
man Upshaw Is Opposed By
' Mayor Key.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 13. With
fair weather in evidence, Georgia voters
went to the primary polls, today to
nominate state and county officers and
congressional representative, and vntji
the participation of women in the vot
ing an unusually large vote was ex
pected to be cast. .
'.'Of chief interest was the contest for
nomination for governor between
Thomas W. Hardwiek, incumbent, and
Clifford M. Walker, unsuccessful can
didate two years ago. Up to the clos
ing of the campaign last night, both
candidates had waged a determined
fight. Governor Hardwiek injected the
Ku Klux Klan issue into the race when
lie declared Mr. . Walker was the can-
, didate of the Klan and being supported
.by the "radical union, labor element."
Mr. Walker has flayed the present ad
ministration's taxation policy. "'.
" The announcement of Senator Thomas
E. Watson that he would not vote
for Mr. Hardwiek were he in Georgia
on the day of the primary, was an
added feature. Senator Watson charg
ed Governor Hardwiek had 'broken
every promise he -has ever made me."
The Georgia senator and the governor
were closely united in the last election,
and were familiarly known as "the two
Toms." ; . r
Wide interest also nas been created
in the races for commissioner of agri
culture and state superintendent of
schools. In the former contest J. J.
Brown, ineumbent, is opposed by A. O.
Blalock and O. M. Houser. In the
latter, Nicholas M. Sowder has inject
ed a spirited campaign against political
administration of the office and has
announced his opposition to the book
trust with b ' promise to support free
text nooks if elected. N. H. Ballard
.and M. I. Duggan, who is now con
nected with the school office, are also
candidates for the office. . -
, In the fiftl congressional district
race, Congressman William D. Upshaw
is opposed by Mayor James L. Key,
of Atlanta, and Ralph O. Cochran.
Upshaw is a prohibition candidate and
Cochran is running on a light wine and
beer platform. .

OLD CAMP CHRONICLE '
OUTFIT TO BE DECORATED
147th Field Artillery, Which
Trained at Camp Greene
and Also at Camp Chronicle,
"to Get Croix de Guerre.
MITCHELL, S. D., Sept. 11. Gen
oral John J. Pershing will come -to
Mitchell September 29, to officially dec
orate the colors of the 147th. Field Ar
tillery with the French Croix de Guerre.
At tho same time, Colonel Boyd Wales,
who commanded the regiment during
the war, will be decorated.
The decoratious are to be made in
recognition of the services of the regi
ment during the breaking of the "Hin
denburg" Line at Juvigny of the west
ern front in France. The action began
August 28, 1918, and lasted until Sep
tember 6. The 147th Field Artillery
was ordered to eliminate German ma
chine gun nests in the vale before Ju
vigny and later those nlong the Tserny
Sowiy road to tho Kast. The work of
the regiment and of the 32nd Division,
of which the 147th was a part, brought
citations by General Manguin, command
ing the Tenth French Army and in
charge of operations in the sector,-
Other regiments of the division re
ceived their decorations at the hands
of. General Manguin, but through an
oversight the 147th was left out. There
were four artillery regiments in the
division, and this being unknown to the
official who made provision for the dec
oration ceremonies, only three regiments
were ordered to participate. . When it
was discovered that no provision had
been eiade to decorate the 147th colors,
the French government communicated
with the United states secretary of war.
When negotiations were completed .the
regiment was back home and demobil
ized. The dec-orations for the regi
ment were forwarded to the secretary
of war, who has instructed General
Pershing to confer the decorations.
William A. Hazle, adjutant general
of South Dakota, who served as lieu
tenant colonel of the 147th during tn
war, will participate in the ceremonies
and has invited all former members ef
the regiment and all former service
men in the state to attend .
The regiment was organized in Octo
ber, 1917. The regiment was then in
camp at Camp Greene, Charlotte, X. C,
as part of the Fourth South Dakota In
fantry. Two batteries of the regiment
were of the Oregon National Guard,
the balanee being South Dakota men
and replacements.
The above artillery outfit was part
of the brgiade which received Hs train
ing in firing at Camp Chronicle. The
artillery units from. Camp Greene used
the Camp Chronicle range for practice.

Plans for the Gaston county exhibit
at the Mude-In-Carolinas Exposition

addition, a booth has been provided for
the Big Gaston County Fair through
other arrangements. These will be

m
Casar Shooting Affair Seems
To Be a Case of Whom to Believe
Newspaper Correspondent De
clares That Kohloss' Report
Shows No Investigation.
E. A. HOUSER " REPLIES
Occupants of Car Claim There
Was No Whiskey In
the Car. ,
SHELBY, Sept. 12. Everett A.
Houser, newspaper correspondent who
handled the story appearing in Friday's
papers in regard to the shooting of
Mrs. I. B. Miller by officers who
stopped a car near Casar, stated today
that the attack on the veracity of the
report published in state papers shows
that Mr. Kohloss has made no investi.
gatiou of the matter; that he has
merely taken the explanation of Prohi
bition Officer Houser, who went to
Salisbury to see Mr. Kohloss.
The correspondent also declares that
the statement that Mrs. Miller was shot
15 miles from where the car was stop
ped is refuted by statements of officers
themselves, Officer - Houser having ad
mitted to the correspondent, iu tho
presence of at least SO people, that
some shooting ( occurred at Casar.
Mrs. Miller was shot at Lattiniore,
but this bullet was presumably fired by
Policeman Cabaniss, of that place, who
Cad been telephoned by Officer Houser 's
party that a mau had been killed at
Casar, the correspondent states, but
Mrs. Miller was also shot, near Casar,
he said,' this bullet having admittedly
been fired by a .-member of Houser 's
party. . . t
The man injured was not hurt near
Lattiniore, as per the Kohloss state
ment, but in Casar, everybody agreeing
that this was purely an accident, ac
cording to the newspaper man .
The first time Mrs. Miller was shot
was before this accident occurred, Koh
loss' statement in regard to this also
being wrong, the correspondent said,
adding that Officer Houser declared at
Shelby the day following the shooting
that he was standing on the running
board of the car when it was suddenly
started, throwing him to the ground.
He said nothing at that time of having
been hit with a fruit jar, nor did he
mention being knocked unconscious, as
is stated by Kohloss. .
The officers aver that there was
whiskey in the ear. Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson and Mr. Miller deny this.
Mrs. Miller is in no condition to dis
cuss tho incident. No broken fruit jars
were found where the first shooting oc
curred, near Casar.
The newspaper correspondent declares
that the statement of Kohloss that " ac
tions of officers were exaggerated and
magnified for the purpose of arousing
sentiment which would bo detrimental
towards the enforcement of prohibi
tion" is a misstatement of tho facts.
The correspondent further charges that
no federal officer has been in the
county to make an investigation in re
gard to the shooting. Ho also avers
that Kohloss has made reckless charges
without having made any investigation
and that these statemeuts cannot be
substantiated.

CRISIS IN MRS. HARDING'S
ILLNESS HAS PASSED
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Iadica
tions at the White House at an early
hour today were that Mrs. Harding was
continuing to show the same favorable
progress toward recovery which brought
expressions of confidence from attending
physicians yesterday and last night that
the crisis of her illness had ben passed.

QUARRELED ABOUT HOGS;
MURDER IS RESULT
EASTMAN, GA.. Sept. 13. As the J
result of an altercation between Willi
White and Daniel White, brothers, over
some hoes, the latter was struck over
the head with a heavy board and fatally
injured, and the former was lo!ged in
the rounty jail today on a charge of
murder.

tnrv fronsnnrt KonialL bound for India

British battalion to Constantinople,
Policeman Cabaniss, of Latti
niore, Is Fourth Officer
. Arrested.
MUCH FEELING AROUSED
Shooting Is Sole Topic of Con
versation In Cleveland
and Rutherford.
The following is from the Cleveland
Star relative to the Miller shooting at
Casar:
The arrest of Policeman Cabaniss, of
Lattimore, who is charged with having
fired tho second shot which hit Mrs.
I. B. Miller, of Caroleen, is about the
only new development in the case which
has caused much comment in this
county and over the entire state. Mrs.
Miller was declared to be resting fairly
well by authorities at the Rutherford
hospital, where slie is undergoing treat
ment. The bullet which penetrated the
jaw lias been removed but no attempt
has as yet been made to search for the
other bullet.
Policeman Cabaniss was Saturday
placed under a $500 bond . He is
charged ' with having shot Mrs. Miller
in the neck, Mr. Miller declaring that
the shot which was fired at Lattimore
struck his wife in the back of the
neck.
At the preliminary hearing Cabaniss
admitted having shot one time but he
declares that he was shooting in the
ground. Other men who were in the
car with him also stated that he fired
but they were unable to say in . what
direction the gun was pointed. The
whole trial was a John Doe investiga
tion to find out who it was that fired
the shot at Lattimore.
The defense of Mr. Cabaniss, it is
understood, will be based on the claim
that he had been informed by tho of
ficers at Casar that a man had been
killed when run over by the car and
that he was naturally led to believe the
car contained desperate people. It will
also be his contention that Mrs. Miller
was shot both times at Casar; that the
bullet he fired went into the ground.
This last contention, however, seems
to be refuted by Mr, Miller's statement
and by that of Mr. and Mrs. Thomp
son,' who. state that Mrs. Miller was
shot in the back at Casar and that the
bullet which entered the bark of her
neck, circling around her head and
breaking the jaw bone, was fired at
Lattimore.
A report reaching The Star as to
Hie occurrence at Casar whilo unverified,
is given as it was received. It is
claimed that there were two cars pro
ceeding along tho road. The ear in
which tho Caroleen party was riding
was behind the other machine. ' Both
machines were stopped. Houser search
ed tho machine which . was in front.
Wesson searched the car in which (Mr.
and Mrs. Miller were riding and, find
ing no whiskey told them to drive on.
As the car passed the one which Houser
had stopped, Houser made a jump for
the running board, missed his step- and
fell to the ground. Then the shooting
started. : '..'
This report, of course, is unverified.

BLEASE SUPPORT. IN
SOUTH CAROLINA FAILED
Many Counties Which Were
Formerly Strong Blease
Centers Give Him Only
Small Majorities.
COLUMBIA, S. C. Sept. 13. Cole
L. Blease, aspirant for a third term
in the governor's chair, was defeated
by approximately 13,000 votes out of
a total of 182,000 in tho second primary
of Tuesday, according to practically
complete returns gathered here today,
Thomas G. McLeod, attorney, of Bish
opville being the nominee of the party.
J. II . Hope, of Union, was nomi
nated state superintendent of educa
tion over J. E. Swearingeu, incumbent,
by an almost two-to-one ballot.
With only a few scattering boxes out,
McLeod 's vote is 9V00; Blease 's, 83,
293. Hope's vote is 104,503; Swear
ingen's, 73,528. .
In several counties where release has
in former elections received strong ma
jorities, he received much smaller votes
yestprday. In Charleston where the
former governor has heretofore been a
lader, his leadd windled to only about
one hundred votes. In Anderson, which
has in former years gone wild for
Blease, his vote was only 4,621 to
McLeod 's 4.412. York and Cherokee
counties, always, heretofore considered
I wo of the strongest Blease counties,
gave him only small leads in the votes
counted here today.
J. E. Swearingen, superintendent of
education, carried only ten counties nut
of 46 in his race for re-election. Mr.
Swearingen 's defeat, it is claimed,- was
due in part to the fact that he an
nounced himself for governor some
months ago and then after a number
of prominent citizens, including two
women, entered the race for his office,
he altered his plans and changed over
to the race for re-election as tuperin-

SOME ROADS MAY SETTLE
THE STRIKE BY SEPARATE
IS
Meeting Last Night Was
Broken Up By Janitor
Who Put Them Out. 'j
SOME PROGRESS IS MADE
B. M. Jewell Declares That
, They Were Getting
Somewhere.
CHICAGO,' Sept 13. Hearing on
the government's application for a per
manent injunction against striking rail
way shopmen cotinued today before
James H. Wilkerson, while the shop
crafts policy committee of ninety as
sembled again with prospects appar
ently favoring a vote today on pro
posals for ending the strike on some
roads on the basis f separate agree
ments. Althugh B. M. Jewell, chief strike
leader, and his associates were guard
ed in their statements and declined to
comment on prospects as the meeting
convened, Mr. Jewell said the union
chief "hoped to get somewhere," when
their meeting yesterday was "unfor
tunately interrupted."
The interruption was made by a jan
itor, who single-handed, broke up tho
meeting of shop craft Headers at a
critical stage of the proceedings. With
mop and broom in hand, the janitor
told the railroad men they would have
to "clera out" so he could "clean up
for some women' ' who, f r a night
meetiug, had rented the hall where tho
shop craft chieftains were assembled..
With rumors afloat or more than a
week of impending settlements on as
many as sixty roads, Mr. Jewell and,
his associates persistently declined to
comment upon the reports.
Assurance was given the executive
council by B. J. Tallon, head of the
Canadian shopmen, that workers on
