E. Moore, 31-year-old workman, was in ''good condition" today and stands a good chance to recover, physicians said at a local hospital. In view of hundreds of midday shoppers Moore fell down the abaft, striking crws-timbers, plunging from side to side, past incompleted windows and finally tumbling in a broken heap-at the bottom of the shaft.

Crisp, second ranking democrat in the national house of representatives, told the Macon Rotary Club here today; urging destruction of tariff walls to stimulate international trade and increased federal appropriations for work for the unemnloyed. "We have the test government in the world," he said "I believe in the capitalist form of government, but I believe it's got to meet conditions today. That form of government is on trial. Jn competition is the soviet-ism -of Russia and the dictatorship of Italy, where the king is as dead as if he were in the tombs of his ancestors." Before Mr. Crisp began his address news had been received 'here of the election of Robert D.

Johnson. Missouri democrat," to the national house. This gives the democrats 214 seats in the house, the same number now held by the republicans, and caused democratic hopes to run high for control of the next house of representatives. Mr. Crisp advocated an international conference of capitalists for reduction of tariff.

He pointed to the great sums of money lent European nations by the United States during Ihe Worl(l War, and said he does not favor further scaling of the war debts, which, he predicted, will be proposed. The Smoot-Hawley was a contributing factor to national distress, he said, because it raised tariff, incurred international enmity of "all other nations of the and "they have adopted retaliatory he declared.

"European people have been tutored through countless generations to know that there is authority 'that has to be obeyed" was the outstanding impression gathed by Judge Ogden Tersons in his recent tour of Europe. Hundreds of Henry county citizens, crowding the courtroom Monday night, listened as Judge Persons gave a sketch of his experiences and observations in Europe.

"In America," he continued, "there must be more respect for law if the people are to get full benefit of their advantages, the superior opportunities they have over European peoples. The early settlers in America, coming from Europe, realized the handicaps and privations' in Europe, particularly the disadvantages of the class system. Every right, every liberty, every privilege, in America, was mnde possible by the evils of the European system "that were recognized by the early settlers and were improved upon. "The human race is standardized," he observed, "the flapper is universal, from the tip of her little high-heeled slipper to the top of her emrty, bobbed head. People the world over look alike, act alike, but as a whole the European people are more courteous than the American.

The Americans owe everything they are to the Europeans. All purposes, ambitions, ideals have come from a common source. The improvements in American life are due tS more, favorable environment. The conclusion, naturally, is that there is a responsibility resting upon each individual American. He must not stand upon the side lines, but must take his share of the rough, hard part of life as much as of the good, smooth part.

"The League of Nations is the only thing that holds Europe down today. If there had been no peace of Versailles, there would be no peace in Europe today. There would be a regular Kilkenny cat fight without it. The United States will have to co-operate and bear her part of the burden. "The United States," he concluded, "must give fair trade; she must give these nations a chance to buy and, in order to do so.

will have to lower her high tariff walls and make necessary adjustments." State Deaths And Funerals We made a timely purchase of 460 pairs growing girls oxfords and one-straps. Ttjese are regular $5 values. MBS. W. A IRS J.

151" K. K. TOWELL. Staff Correspondent. WARM SrRIXGS, Sept.

30. Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt stepped on his own Georgia soil tonight with the assurance from southern political leaders that he will lead-the democratic party, to victory in 1932. Here at Warm Springs, where he spends as much his time as the strenuous job of governing New York state will permit, he is thumbs down on politics, at least of the national variety. But he couldn't, and made no effort to, conceal the satisfaction Dixie's assurance of support gave him. In this invalid colony, grown to national importance becanse of his identity with it, bis slightest wish is the law.

For that" reason no band was at the station to meet him and there were no presidential nominating speeches made when he debarked from the train and when they give him a welcoming barbecue, probably .1 next the same code will obtain. At numerous points along the line from Charlotte, -'X. to Warm Springs, however, he was hailed as the next'democratic nominee. Yet, except for the cheering of children as he neared the resort, there was no noise. The nearer he approached his Georgia home, the more sincere the welcome extended him became.

Except for a slight cold, the governor is in splendid health, notwithstanding the strain of whipping a recalcitrant republican legislature into supporting his $20,000,000 unemployment program which, incidentally, is to be paid out of increased income taxes in New York state. a His plans are to remain here for two weeks, leaving October 15 for Yorktown, to make a speech at the opening of the sesquicentennial celebration there. Thence to Albany to attend to some official matters for two weeks and back to Warm Springs for three weeks early in November. In his drawing room this afternoon he was as much interested in Georgia affairs as in national politics and more inclined to talk about conditions here than votes a year from now. He is especially fond of Governor Richard B.

Russell and was quick to express this fondness and his admiration for the way in which Georgia's governor has handled state affairs since he went into office. He was also interested and impressed -with Mrs. T. K. Glenn's "Fenny-a-Meal" Club, organized in Atlanta and which Jesse Isidor Straus, whom he has just named as chairman of his unemployment commission, called to the attention of New York city welfare agencies recently.

He described it as a "splendid idea." Atlanta furnished him the largest crowd, although, comparatively. Griffin carried off the honors on the trip down. He was cheered as his train passed through McDonough; at Griffin, where it stopped, and at Rover, Williamson, Concord, Neal, Molena, Woodbury, Raleigh and Warm Springs. JLeaving the train here, after he bad shaken hands with a score of Meriwether county neighbors, calling numbers of them by first name, he went on to his cottage just beyond the Meriwether line. It was at Greenville, members ff his party said, that an extemporaneous gathering of trainmen pleased Governor Roosevelt.

They walked into his private car and assured him that their' praetieular branch of organized labor would back him to the man. Everywhere he shook hands with all who conlo! get on and off the train during the time it halted. Politically, the" Atlanta welcome was considered the more significant. There in addition to Governor Russell, he was greeted by Major John S. Cohen democratic national committeeman Clark Howell, for many years a member of that committee Lawrence S.

Camp, democratic state chairman, a nT Mayor James 1m Key. All these told him Georgia would be in the Roosevelt column at the next convention. Major Cohen declared that "apparently all elements in Georgia political life are behind Governor Roosevelt for president. I believe he will be nominated on the first ballot." J. Alexanrtfr.

After his visit with Governor Roosevelt, Major Cohen asserted he considered New Yorker "the most interesting and effective figure in American pnbMc life today." "So far as I can see in the present political situation." Cohen added, "the two conventions have practically met and nominated Roosevelt and Hoover. Thus the great American electorate has ample time to judge the character and accomplishments of the two candidates over a period of many months. They are in a position to judge the administration of the governor of New York and compare it with the administration of President Hoover." After a brief talk with Governor Roosevelt, Mr.

Howell said: "Governor Rooseveit undoubtedly will be the democratic party's unanimous choice for presidential candidate in 3932. He will be nominated by the largest majority since the Civil War. The race next, year will be between Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt." And, although politics and public appearances have been emphatically barred by Mr. Roosevelt during his forthcoming stay of a fortnight in the piney woods of Georgia, he let it be known that his cottage door always will be open to visitors, and that he will be most happy to chat with visitors from time to time.
