Southern Newspaper Publishers' As- ! soeiatton Petitions Congress. Asheville, N. C, July 12.?Adoption of a resolution asking congress to lo? cate the proposed twenty-million-dol? lar government nitrate plant at Mus? sels Shoals, featured the closing ses? sion today of the Southern Newspaper Publishers' Association. The resolu? tion was offered by J. II. Allison, ofN the Nashville Tenncssean and Ameri? can. Copies will be forwarded to Presi dent Wilson and Secretary of War Ba? ker. "Should a Newspaper Become a Sales Agent for an Advertised Ar? ticle?" was the subject discussed by H. C. Adler, of the Chattanooga Times. Mr. Adler, who voiced an em? phatic negative to the question declar? ed that a newspaper, practically loses its self-respect and the respect of the reading public when it submits to what he called the "free publicity graft," W. T. Anderson, of the Macon Tele ? graph, spoke on "Meeting the In? creased Cost of Production." His ad? dress was followed by lively discus? sion. F. L. Seeley, formerly of the At? lanta Georgian, spoke on the pur? poses of the Southern Newspaper Pub? lishers* Association. The convention closed tonight with a banquet, at which William U. Shep? herd, European war correspondent, and W. T. Gentry, of Atlanta, presi? dent of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, were the principal speakers. Mr. Shepherd re? lated his experiences on various bat? tle fronts. The 140 guests at the banquet were put in telephonic communication with San Francisco, Governor Craig, of North Carolina, addressing the gover? nor of California, and receiving re? sponses from the latter. N. C. Kings bury, first vice president cf the Ameri? can Bell Telephone Company, who was scheduled to speak, was unable to attend but delivered his address to the assembled guests over the telephone from his home at Greenwich, N. J. WANTS IT NEARER 'HOME. Senator E. D. Smith Makes Plea for Nitrate Factory. Washington, July 12.?Holding that as he was the author of the nitrate plant provision of the army reorgan? ization law, his State is entitled to consideration, in addition to the fact that C/j^ Carolinas and Georgia are the principal cpnsamcro of commer ?i;i! fertilizer. Senator B O. ftmlth to? day urged upon the president and Secretary oi . . ar 3 Si H priety of having the army engineers consider fully the merits of possible sites in that section for the power plant which the government is au? thorized to establish. The Carolina senator did not claim to he a water power expert, but he mentioned the Savannah river as deserving of serious consideration. His contention is that the surveys of the engineers should be brought fully up to date, and that if other tlongs are equal, the site should be in a location most convenient to the. majority of users of the outpi t. Advocates of the Mussels Shoal?, (Tenn.) site are inclined to regard it3 recommendation by the army engi? neers as a foregone conclusion. That the calling of a railroad freight train employe is a most haz? ardous one, is shown by the fact that in 1913, 1,303 were killed and 57,7 <J 7 were injured in the United States. As compared with foreign countries be? fore the war, in the United States one in 421 is killed and one in It injure i. In Germany one in 1,016 is killed and one in 431 injured. In France one la 1,068 is killed and one in 517 injured, in Austria one in 2,205 is killed and one in 160 injured. Geo H.
