THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1907.
IN THEIRJSTORY
Give High Praise to Atlanta
for Their Cordial
Reception.
With a trolley ride over the city and
a visit through the big Federal prison,
the fifth annual convention of the Na'
tional Rural Letter Carriers’ Aasoela
tion came to a close and a majority
the delegates left the city Friday night,
It was practically the united sent!
ment of every visitor that the convex
tlon In Atlanta had been one of the
most successful as well as profitable in
the history of the city. They were loud
In their, praise of the hospitality ac
corded them on all sides, and partlcu
larly of the complete manner in which
local papers handled the'four-day ses
slon.
"Atlanta is the only city in which we
have met where the papers gave s
much space and such complete reports,
said one delegate who had attended
every convention. "I believe the news
papers of this city are the most enter
prising In the country-, and the carriers
will never forget their splendid treat
ment here."
How Woman Won.
The gallantry of the carriers was
demonstrated at the final session when
it came to naming the convention city
for ISOS. Apparently Des Mines or Lit.
tie Rock had the call before it came
the vote.
But the tide turned almost as soon
Mrs. Ruth Kenyon, of Monroe, Nebr..
made her plea for Omaha. On the first
ballot Omaha was far in the lead. Geor
gia's six votes went to Little Rock on
the initial ballot, but on the second they
were cast for Omaha
C. M. Adams, of Iowa withdrew Des
Moines and cast the vote of his deiej
tion for the Nebraska metropolis. T!
decided things, for on the final count
Omaha had 60 and Little Rock 37.
It was undoubtedly a direct compll
ment to Mrs. Kenyon. She has attend
ed every national convention as a dele,
gate and is very popular with carriers
all-over the country.
Officials' Addresses.
The visit here and speeches of P. V.
DeGraw and W. R. Spllman, the postal
officials, formed the most Interesting
feature of the convention. Both men
pledged themselves to the Interests of
the service and the carriers.
One matter developed out of this con-
ventlon Is that the carriers stand al
most as a unit for parcels post. Gen
eral DeGraw’s statement of Postmaster
General Meyer’s Intention of making
strong recommendations to the next
congress met with enthusiastic ap-
proval.
The fact that the Farmers’ Union will
also urge a parcels post before con
gress. as outlined by President R. F.
Duckworth, of Georgia, In his speech
before the body, shows how sentiment
Is growing for this extension of the
postal service.
That Paul Lindsay stands high In the
confidence and love of the carriers was
evidenced by his unanimous re-election
to a third term as head of the great
organisation.
FIND NOT A TRACE
OF
Conductor Hargrove Has
Not Been Seen Since
Last Saturday.
Despite persistent efforts of the police
authorities and friends, not a trace has
yet been found of W. M. Hargrove, the
missing conductor of the Central rail
road, who mysteriously disappeared last
Saturday morning from his boarding
house in Walker street.
Announcement was mado Saturday
by J. N. Hargrove, of Little Rock, Ark.,
a brother of the missing man, and A. F.
Lee, a well-known conductor of the
Central, that a suitable reward would
be paid for any information leading to
the discovery of tho present where
abouts of Hargrove.
Fearing that possibly his brother may
have met with foul play or that some
other harm may have befallen him. J.
N. Hargrove came to Atlanta Friday
from Little Rock to make a personal
search and aid In every way possible In
finding him. Mr. Hargrovo and friends
of the missing man are unable to ac
count for the strange disappearance.
The missing conductor has a wife and
several children In Macon and they are
greatly distressed.
Conductor Hargrove left his boarding
house last Saturday morning, presum
ably to go out on his run, and mys
teriously vanished.

ANTI-SALOON CAMPAIGN
IS ON IN MONTGOMERY
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery. Ala.. Oct. 12.—The prohibition fight Is on In earnest In
tjut county. The prohibitionists will have a monster petition to present to
the Judge of probate calling for this election. Every person Is being asked
to sign It, arid those who refuse have their names taken clown for future
reference. The Indications are at this early date .that the prohibitionists
will carry the county by 8 to 1, and If the sentiment continues to grow
as it has in the past few days against saloons there will be a much larger
majority.
The Prohibitionists all wear little white ribbon badge*. About $2,000
has been subscribed to help carry on the campaign. There are to be
* pe 5?u£? from all Parts of the country brought here In the Interest of
P ro m?. on aad no Question has so stirred the people as this one.
T . f a i oon P®°P le ar© making a hard fight and personalities are already
being Indulged In. One firm In Montgomery owns about one-third of the
saloons here and Is also heavily Interested In the brewery.

yesterday and held in court for an In

The action was instituted by Mr.

complainants asserted that Mrs. Bauer

admitted that the woman had been wel

“She and her husband had differ

GENERAL STRIKE
TIES OP
PROHIBITION WILL
WIN IN BIRMINGHAM
Continued from Pago One,
and others have adopted Joint resolu
tions commending The News and The
Atlanta Georgian. The president and
>rinclpal owner of The Birmingham
Vewi is Rufus N. Rhodes, a man who
has always stood for the moral and
material advancement of Birmingham
and Alabama.
Mr. 8mlth’a Views.
The reasons why The Birmingham
News came out for prohibition are best
told In the language of Ell P. Smith,
the managing editor. He says
■It Is my opinion that there will not
be a wet county In Alabama by Jan
uary 1, 1909. At the present rate of
growth of the prohibition movement In
this state I am amply justified In mak
ing euch a prediction. Title movement
is as much a business proposition as It
Is a moral question and the people are
eo regarding it. The -aloon Is at the
bottom today of tho labor troubles
which farmers, manufacturers, mine
operators and other large employers of
labor are having In securing a sufilclent
number of men to carry on their opera
tions without Interruption. There Is no
labor famine In tho sense that the
workers are not here, but there Is a
labor famine In the sense that whisky
has rendered a very large percentage of
the negro worklnr population of the
state, and especially In the Birmingham
district, worthless for working pur
poses. The terribly overcrowded con
dition of the county jell here, which
was denounced In unmeasured terms by
the etate jail Inspector, Dr. Shirley
Bragg, In his recent report to the gov
ernor, te due to the baleful effects of
liquor upon the negro population and
likewise upon a certain element of the
white race. This situation Is growing
worse under the open saloon system
Instead of bolter and something must
be done to halt It"
The Ledger 8trong for Prohibition.
Twenty days after The Birmingham
News announced for prohibition and
after tho petition, signed by 5,630
voters, was filed with the probate Judge
requesting him to call an election. The
Birmingham Ledger, another afternoon
paper, declared for prohibition. Among
other things Tho Ledger said:
"The question of whisky or no whis
ky, prohibition or no prohibition, Is
now squarely before the people of Jef
ferson county, and every voter who has
not decided definitely In his mind on
which aide of the question he stands,
will toon make un his mind. That there
Is an overwhelming sentiment In favor
of prohibition In this county no one can
doubt, after the filing of the petition
with the probate Judge asking for an
election to determine whether Jefferson
county will be Included among the ’dry’
counties of the state.
"The Ledger Is squarely for prohibi
tion. We believe prohibition with r
wholesome, active, public sentiment be.
hind It will prohibit.”
Would be a Mistake,
The Birmingham Age-Herald, the
only morning paper published In this
city, Is the only dally paper against
prohibition.
EL W, Barrett, owner of the paper,
writing under the name of "Ned Brace,"
come out against prohibition. Among
other things he said:
"I don’t believe In prohibition. It hae
never prohibited anywhere. The aglta-
oft ’ *“■“—*-
delivered four addresses In the district,
and they are said to have been most ef.
fectlve.
The Rev. John B. Culpepper, the not
ed evangelist of Valdosta, Ga„ came to
Birmingham for the purpose of ad
dressing audiences on "The Secret Sins
of Men.” Most of his talks were de
voted to prohibition.
Many Signatures Secured.
All these addresses were delivered
while the campaign committee was cir
culating petitions throughout the coun
ty to get the required number of slg
natures to the petition filed with the
probate Judge on September 19, nnd
prior to the time the election was call
ed on September 26 to take place thirty
days later. Although Jefferson county
has a population of about 300,000 per
sons, the number of qualified electors
Is small. Under the law the names of
one-fourth of the qualified voters are
necessary before the probate Judge Is
authorized to call an election. Less
than 10,000 votes were cast In the cete.
brated shrievalty race between Hig.
don and Stiles. After the prohibition
late secured nearly 6,000 names they
decided to quit.
Wards and Precineta Organized.
With the filing of the petition calling
for tho election tho campaign commit,
tee began to organize the wards In
Birmingham and the thirty-one pre
cincts In Jefferson county. During the
last ten days something like one hun
dred speeches have been made, and it
will be kept up until the eve before the
final battle of halolte on October 38. It
Is also the Intention of the campaign
committee to have one man and one
women on every city square In Birm
ingham to work in behalf of prohibi
tion and to exert their Influence In
bringing out a full vote on election day.
In every ward In Birmingham clubs
have been organized. The women of
Birmingham will hold prayer meetings
In every precinct In the county once a

Ul Throughout the prohibition campaign
everything has been conducted along
systematic lines. The campaign was
opened by Bishop Warren A. Candler,
of Atlanta, who made four stirring
speeches In the Birmingham district.
He brought out the economic side, say-
that saloons confiscated property
adjoining them, and read an article
from a whisky paper which admitted
that prohibition le bound to come
Another eminent speaker who stirred

ton prohibition law which was adopted
by the Georgia legislature and for
which The Atlanta Georgian worked
To hard. The wisdom of The Atlanta
Georgian’s course hes been pointed out
in various speeches made In Alabama
and the paper Is known from one end
of the state to the other. Judge Cov

circulating petitions calling upon the
women of Birmingham fo use their In
fluence In getting their husbands,
brothers and sweethearts to vote for
prohibition. This petition will contain
thousands of signatures and will be
presented to the men at a gigantic mass
meeting to be held the last Sunday be
fore the election. The petition will be
borne by little children who will march
down the aisles singing songs.
Noted Spsakers Coming.
Rev. George Stuart, who worked with
Sam Jones during his lifetime and
whose eloquent tongue has won thou
sands of votes for prohibition all over
the United States, spoke here Sunday,
October 6, at tho Jefferson Theater, to
a magnificent audience of men. He
spoke at Bessemer twice Monday and
may be prevailed upon to deliver other
talks.
In addition to the noted speakers al
ready heard, many others have been
Invited. Among theie la F. L.
Seely, publisher of The Geor
gian. which paper’s wisdom haa
been commended on all over the
country In the magnificent fight tl
put up In favor of statutory prohibi
tion In Georgia. Mr. Seely has already
signified hie willingness to come to
Birmingham and aid In the cause.
Mrs. Armour, a noted lecturer
Georgia, who made such a deep im
pression upon the Georgia legislature
while tho prohibition law was under
consideration, will arrive this week and
deliver speeches all over the county.
Mrs. Curtis, a famous temperance
worker of Texes, will also bo here
soon. Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia,
has been Invited and may make talks.
There Is also a possibility of hearing
that silver-tongued orator and Journal
ist, John Temple Graves, editor of The
Atlanta Georgian. Congressman Bur
nett, of Alabama; the Hon. Archibald
Carmichael, speaker of the house of
representatives; Lieutenant Governor
Henry B. Gray. Walter D. Seed, state
treasurer; the Rev. J. A. Maples, of
Texas, and many others are on the
program for speeches before the cam
paign Is closed. The Hon. E. W. Car
mack, former United States senator
from Tennessee and candidate for
governor In that etate, will deliver his
famous lecture In which he brings out
temperance. In addition to theso noted
speakers the campaign committee has
secured fully fifty local men to apeak
from time to time In the various pre
cincts.

MUD FOR A TIME
Weekly “Tub3” Should Be
Taken Before Noon,
Says Woodward.
Muddy water Sunday.
General Manager Park Woodward, of
the waterworks department, says so,
and he ought to know.
Fortunately, however, the siege of
Cloudy Chattahoochee will last only
few hours—probably from about noon
until 3 o'clock In the afternoon.
The reign of muddy water several
weeks ago was caused by the fact that
the reeervolr was so low that the water
was pumped from the river directly
through the filter,, and the coagulat
Ing basis had to be abandoned.
Sunday the water will be muddy not
becauae the reservoir Is low, but be
cause the water from the coag-;laVg
basin will not be used for several hours,
In order that It may be cleaned out.
The new cosguletlng basin, which
has Just been completed, will he put
Into service for the first time Sunday,
and In order to mnke certain neceesary
connections between the old and the
new basin it would be neeewary to
abandon the former for several hours,

cleaning out of the old basin will
begin at 10 o'clock Sunday morning,
and about 1 o'clock In the afternoon
both baslr/i t\ll probably be ready for
service.
loosa. In all these counties, with the
exception of Tuscaloosa, the question
was open saloons or prohibition. In
Tuscaloosa, which has always been
considered the Ideal dispensary county
of the state of Alabama, the question
was dispensary or prohibition. The
people decided that they had enough of
model dispensation of the rum evil.
Prohibition elections have been or
dered In the following counties for the
month of October: Lawrence, October
10; Lee, October 14; Calhoun, October
16; Bulloch and Wilcox, October 26;
Jefferson, October 38; Etowah, October
39. It Is said that every one of these
counties will go dry and that saloons
will have to close up shop by January 1,
1908.
Petitions have either been filed or
circulated In twelve or fifteen other
counties, Including Morgan, Blount,
Limestone, Tallapoosa, Walker, Fay
ette, Randolph, Chambers, Dallas and
Shelby. It Is believed the elections will
be secured In time lo close the saloons
by the first of January. 1908.
The Anti-Saloon League.
The Anti-Saloon League of Alabama
haa Just come out for statutory prohi
bition. but It will continue to single
■hot the state by counties. The league
has Just opened up In Dallas county. In
which Selma Is located, and will etart
tho fight In that county at once. Be
fore many months It Is believed that
the fight will be opened In Montgomery
and Mobile counties. In which two other
large cities of Alabama are located.
While Governor Comer has refused to
embody a call for a prohibition act, he
has authorized a denial of the state
ment that he would not sign a prohlbl.
tion act passed by the legislature by a
two-thirds vote. Governor Comer took
part In one prohibition meeting In
Jefferson county and his sentiment Is
with th* movement In tho campaign
he eald that the liquor question would
be .settled by local option. That Is the
reason he will not make a call In the
event tho legislature meets.

CAREER Oh CONDE NASI;
HIGHEST SALARIED MAN
IN WORLD FOR HIS AGE
(From The Pittsburg Dispatch.)
Ten years ago Mr. Conde Nast came
to New Tork city and started to work
for 312 a week; a few days ago, at the
remarkably early age of 84 years, he
resigned a position with a salary of
340,000 a year. During his ten years
of service he remained always "on sal
ary;" that Is to say, none of his aston
ishing Income—he lias been receiving
340.000 a year for the past three years—
none of this income haa been due to
dividends.
Here Is a man who does not have and
has not had a bit of Interest In the
ownership of the concern that employed
him. The decade of his labor has been
with one firm, and his rise from a Job at
a clerk's hire, 312 a week, to a position
with o salary nearly that of the presi
dent of the United States, has been due,
surely, to business capacity of a very
rare order.
Mr. Nast Is known to the publishing
world as perhaps the greatest expert In
the country on national advertising.
Probably he hag been, during the past
three or four years, the highest salaried
man of his age in the world. Toung
men. combining labor and capital, have
frequently made a larger Income than
340.000 a year—so frequently Indeed
that the fact excites little comment.
But labor alone nt such an age has
rarely produced this annual sum. There
Is a romance of business life In the
etory of such a success, and In tho re
markable fact that a young man who
hod gone so far should give up such an
Income to venture for himself.
EARLY EDUCATION.
Charles Schwab remarked not long
ago that a college education unfitted a
man for business life or executive du
ties and some years past Mr. Horace
Greeley expressed more than contempt
for a young man who would waste four
years of valuable time In such a cause.
Brilliant examples of success with and
without college education exist every
where and the question will probably
never be eettled. But whether or not
these two authorities on success were
right, in the Instance of this pnrtlcular
young man, their theories have been
knocked higher than a kite; for Mr.
Nast. with, In their Judgment, the hand
icap of the degrees of B. A., M. A. and
L.L. B., started his business career at
24 and In,his early 80s achieved a most
notable succese. He not only spent four
years In college, he spent seven years
of preparation, and ail for a business
career!
Mr. Nast really started a buelness
training while he was In college,
seemed reeponslble enough to his fel
low students to be made manager of one
of the athletic association! and, during
the third end fourth years of hts life at
Georgetown University, ho was busi
ness head of most of the student or
ganizations, His reign over the athlet
ic affairs of the Institution led many of
hla associates to predict for him a brll-
iisnt career In any line of business.
At 23 Mr. Nast, M. A., fresh from
the university, returned to hie home In
St. Louis. His parents wanted him to
become a lawyer; the young man want
ed to go Into business, but decided that
a training In law would better equip
him for whatever business he under
took. At the end of two years he was
graduated from the law school of
Washington University and admitted to
the bar.
IN A PRINT SHOP.
Then I didn't know whdt to do,”
says Mr. Nast, relating his experience
getting a start. “1 woe 24 years old
and had very little experience. I didn’t
mind working for 310 a week, or noth
ing, for that matter, providing I was
put In a position where I could learn,
could gain some experience, but the
possibility at my age of 24 of being
pocketed for two or three years where,
treated as a nuisance. The next after,
noon I brought Into the printing shop
literally an armful of orders and re
quests for estimates. The manager
thought I was playing a Joke on him,
for here In one day's work was a vol
ume of business that overtaxed the
plant, but. when he realised the situ
ation, I felt sure I had 'made good’ at
my first Job."
TWELVE A WEEK.
Here was a very simple and easy
thing to do, once the idea was se
cured, and yet how few get the simple
Ideas that are so valuable. Even the
manager of the printing plant had not
thought of this obvious source of bus!
ness for him. That Incident was the
etart of a wonderful business career. '
was simply the principle of business
getting effort where business Is to be
had.
An offer of partnership In the print'
Ing shop was made to Mr. Nast soon
after his start, but he did not accept
Instead, he applied for a place in New
York city. Ills application resulted In
a position at 312 a week, and he started
East at once.
When he was only 30 years old one
of the New York newspaper publishers
offered him 330,000 a year to go with
him In a managerial capacity. Now
Mr. Nast, at 84, has decided to go Into
business,
Mr. Nast Is an interesting personal!
ty. He has no pride of position—his
sole Idea about work Is to get It done
In the quickest possible way. He has
one characteristic that few men have,
the ability to "shed" work. His one
desire once he has put a plan Into
action Is to turn it over to a lieuten
ant, he himself going on to some other
work. He Is alert, active, aggressive,
a sure Judge of men, and, being at the
ago when most men are beginning to
be successful. It would be difficult to
express, without superlatives, the op
portunities nnd attainments that the
future holds In store for him.

small printing establishment, and that
fact gave me my first Job.

find business. He said, 'You know a lot
of people In this town; go to your
friends.' I did not like to do that, so I
made a chance solicitation here and
there. It resulted In no business. Then
I recalled that during the next month

Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 12.—After be- (
Ing out twenty minutes, the Federal j
Jury, which has heard the government '
charges of rebating against the Sante J
Fe railroad, brought In a verdict of |
guilty against the road on six counts of \
tho indictment. Judge Welbom will j
announce his verdict next Monday. An i
estimate of the maximum penalty j
which may bo imposed Is $1,250,000. I
The defense of the railroad company y
wns that tho rebates were “conces- |
slons made for alleged losses on the '
shipments during transit.” ,
In ruling for tho jury Judge Wei- ;
bom handed down a point of law which |
Is held to be the most Important enun- I
dated slnco tho formation of the Inter- j
state commerce commission. He said: '
”1 hold that the acceptance by the
defendant of a loss sum of money than !
that named In its tariff for transporta- ’
tion, 1'f there had been such a great de- j
parturo from the legal rate, It is not
Justified In so doing; nor Is It any de
fense to a prosecution thereof that tho
nets of the carriers were done In com
promise of claims for loss of property
In transit.”

Valdosta, Ga., Oct. 12.—It Is very
likely that citizens of this county will
protest against the taking of the Haht-
ra district Into the proposed new coun
ty, which the people qj-^del are work- .
Ing for, though no action has yet been
taken. The territory proposed to ba
taken from Lowndes Is one of the most I
populous and wealthy sections of the
county, and, as this Is already one of
tho smaller counties of the state, the
people here are not In favor of giving
anything to tho new county.
