Shop Strike Southern
Railroad is Settled
Washington, Sept. 18.?Officials of
Southern railway and representatives
of the union shop crafts of that system
late today signed the WarfieldWillard-Jewell
agreement.
The strike among the workers of
the Mobile and Ohio railway, which is
controlled by th# Southern, also was
settled on the same basis. The work~

on all other lines controlled
by the Southern, who went on strike,
*are to return immediately to work
with seniority rights unimpaired.
Orders were telegraphed by the
- shop leaders tonight to the divi.
sional chairmen of the various la
bor unions throughout the south to
instruct their men to return to work
at once. Similar orders were sent
out by the Southern's officials to their
superintendents to put all of the
former workmen back at their old
jobs as soon as they applied.
Three-Hour Conference.
The conference had been in session
three hours when William H. Johnston,
president of the International
Association of Machinists, as spokesman
of the union chiefs, announced
that a settlement had been reached.
Henry W. Miller, vice president of
the Southern lines, in charge of the
operations, exhibited a copy of the
agreement bearing signature of the
union leaders and representatives of
the Southern, remarking that he expected
most of the striking workers
to be back at work within a week.
The refusal of the shop leaders to
sign last Saturday led to doubt in
some quarters as to the outcome of
today's meeting. It was understood
that the decision in favor of settlement
was influenced largely by President
Johnston who was said to have
urged an amicable agreement in the
interest of "industrial peace."
E. E. Norris, St. Louis, vice president
and general manager of the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, acted as
spokesman for that system in the negotiations.
AUTO TURN'S OVER, GIRL KILLED.
Miss Janette Towers, of St. Petersburg,
Fia., Dead.
McCormick, Sept. 18.?Miss Janette
Towers, 20 years of age, was
instantly killed near Modoc, this
county, at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon,
when a touring car, driven by V. H.
Wright, of 2124 Florida avenue,
Tampa, Fla., overturned. Miss Towers,
in company with her mother,
Mrs. Dell Towers, and an older sister,
Miss B. Towers, has been spending1
some time at No. 190 South French
Broad avenue, Asheville, N. C., and
had advertised for some one to acthom
nn their return trip to
VUiU|/OUJ VMV^ w ? _
St. Petersburg, Florida, who would
furnish a car as they wanted to drive j
through in an automobile instead of
by train.
V. H. Wright answered the advertisement
and stated that he would
take them back if they wanted to
take plenty of time, but would not
promise to rush on the trip. They left
Asheville this morning and drove to
. Greenwood for dinner. Leaving
Greenwood they intended going to
Augusta for the night, but when they
reached Modoc on a fill they met
a wagon at a point w,here the sand
was heavy and loose. In passing the
wagon Mr. Wright says that the wagon
gave him at least half the road,
but that on account of the sand in
the road at that point, he Iqst control
of the car and in trying to get back
into the road the car darted across
the road and turned over, pinning
Miss Janette Towers under the car,
killing her almost instantly.
The accident happened just in the
edge of the little town of Modoc, and
i+hrmsrh medical aid was summoned,
it was thought that Miss Towers was
killed instantly. Her face was badly
cut and she was badly injured internally.
Mrs. Towers and her daughter,
Miss B. Towers, received only minor
injuries and went on to Augusta,
leaving the body of Miss Janette Tow- j
ers at the home of Mr. A. P. Douglass,
U , , I
at Modoc, after summoning an un- i
dertaker from Augusta. Witnesses
in the town of Modoc who saw the car
pass through say that Mr. Wright
was driving at a very moderate speed
and not exceeding twenty miles per
hour.

DECIDED EDGE FOR WALKER.
Two Women Elected to Serve in Leg- !
islature of Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14.?Clifford
M. Walker, of Monroe, former state ,
attorney general, was nominated in '
Wednesday's Democratic primary for
governor of Georgia over Gov. Thomas
W. Hardwick by a county unit
vote of 298 to 114, according to unofficial
returns from all counties announced
tonight by the Atlanta Con
stitution.
Mr. Walker, who was defeated for
the same office by Mr. Hardwick two
years ago, carried 117 counties and
Mr. Hardwick the remaining 43. The
popular vote was Walker, 84,783;
Hardwick, 62,583, and H. Bedinger
Baylor, of Atlanta, who carried no
county, 49. The Democratic convention
will.be held in Macon October 4.
The five Georgia congressmen who
had opposition were renominated
with the exeception of J. W. Overstreet
of the first district, who in final
unofficial returns indicated had lost
to W. Lee Moore. The incumbents,
who it was indicated were safely returned,
are William D. Upshaw, fifth;
J. W. Wise, sixth; C. H. Brand,
eighth, and T. M. Bell, ninth.

in the legislature for the first
time, according to virtually complete
returns from the primary which is regarded
as equivolent to election. They
are Mrs. Viola Napier, a Macon attorney,
and Miss Bessie Kempton, an
Atlanta newspaper woman.
BIG DAMAGE TO COTTON.
From Drought, Boll Weevils and
Rust, Says Report.
Washington, Sept. 6.?Excessively
dry, hot weather in nearly all sections
of the country has caused deterioration
in the condition of many crops,
according to the semi-monthly crop
report of the department of agriculture
issued today. Preparation of
the ground for fall seeding, however,
has made considerable progress and
farm work has advanced satisfactorily.
Much damage to cotton from
drought, boll weevih rust and-army
worms was reported,, with picking
in progress in most of the producing
area and progressing rapidly in Georgia,
South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi
and the Rio Grande Valley
in Texas.
Corn is maturing rapidly and being
husked in the southern states, but
this crop has deteriorated in the
central and eastern states, with the
setback severe in Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska due to heat and lack of
moisture. Threshing of small grains
has been virtually completed in the ]
south and middle west, but market ,
conditions have slowed up the thresh- ^
ing of wheat in Kansas. Spring
wheat yields in the Pacific coast <
states is running below normal and ^
light weight. The quality is high,
however, in the Dakotas and Minne- j
sota, where threshing of spring j
wheat is under way. Oats have been ,
variable generally and light in
weight.
CROOKS'S PAROLE REVOKED.
Oconee Man Threatened Life of
Brother. .
\ .
Governor Harvey yesterday revoked
[ the parole of Grover Crooks, of Oconee
authorities to place Crooks on the
chain gang or in the penitentiary to
complete his sentence. Crooks was
convicted of assault and battery with
intent to kill in 1916 and was paroled
during good behavior by Governor
Cooper in December, 1921. "He
was serving a six year sentence.
Recently the governor was advised
| that Crooks had violated the terms of
average nation, is blind to his own
faults. An American woman, a lead
er of the S. P. C. A. was soliciting
subscriptions for the animals' cause
in Madrid. "Will you subscribe, sir?"
she asked a Spanish grandee.

said the grandee graciously. 'I'll get
up a bull fight for your society's benefit.'

this fact was established. Crooks
threatened the life of his brother
and is in jail now, being unable to
arrange for a $1,000 bond, according
to Sheriff Alexander and other Oconee
officials. Sheriff Alexander, informed
the chief executive that
Crooks could not offer any reason
why his parole should not be revoked.?The

Sentence Increases.
Anderson, S. C., Sept. 18.?Ernest
Ashley, who was found guilty of manslaughter
Saturday night for the killing
of Arthur Hughes, deputy sheriff
at Honea Path, was today sentenced
to serve twelve years in the state penitentiary.
This was Ashley's second
trial. At his former trial he was convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced
to serve eleven years, but upon
an appeal for leniency, the presiding
judse changed the sentence to ten
?ears. Upon appeal the supreme
court granted him a new trial.

MINERS TRAPPED BY FIRE.
Fifty-seven Bodies Found by Rescue
Squad After Hard Work.
Jackson, Cal., Sept. 18.?All fortyseven
of the miners entombed in the
Argonaut mine August 27, are dead,
it was announced officially shortly before
9 o'clock tonight.
A note found on one of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
the fire August 27, officials said.
All the miners were found behind
the second of two bulkheads they had
built in a cross-cut when 4,350 feet
down in the mine. Byron O. Pickard,
chief of the federal bureau of mines
for this district, was the first man to
go behind the bulkhead and discovered
the bodies.
Pickard, on an earlier exploration
behind the bulkhead, had counted
forty-two bodies and expressed the
belief then that there were others
there.
Note Tells of Bad Gas.
The note found read as follows:
<43 a. m., gas bad."
The same note bore a scrawled figure
"4" apparently indicating the
same man had attempted to leave
word for those who might come after,
of the condition of the mine at that
hour.
Mine officials declared that the
condition of the cross-cut behind the
bulkhead was such that life could
/
not have been sustained there by the
entombed men for more than five
hours.
The bodies were piled one on top
of another and decomposition had
progressed so far that identification
would be impossible, Pickard reported.
Dillon Farmer Fatally Shot.
THllnn. Sent. 18.?J. Oliver Hyatt,
a white teoant on D. W. Bethea's
place, was shot and killed yesterdayafternoon
on Joe Andrews's , place,
near Mclnnis bridge, by Floyd
Branch, it is alleged, another white
tenant of that section. Hyatt was
shot three times with a 32-calibre
pistol. Branch, it is claimed, was
shot one tin^e by Hyatt, receiving a
wound in the arm. The trouble, it is
alleged, was due to jealousy over a
woman. He lived about three hours
after the shooting, having had time
to reach the hospital at Clio. Branch
came to Dillon and gave himself up
to the sheriff and is now in jail. Hyatt
was about forty-five years old and
leaves a widow and. mree children.
An Intelligent Fire.
One wing of a large summer-resort
iotel had burned, and the manager
ind a group of hotel employees were
gazing mournfully at the ruins.
"Strange," mourned the manager,
'that the fire should have stopped at
;hat gate."
"Why, sir," excitedly exclaimed an
ntelligent bell boy, ''didn't you
snow? That gate was shut."
