FOi RTH OF JULY QI/IETES7 ; CHIEFTURNERREMEMBERS | jsuaa— BEAUTIFUL HORSEWOMAN COUNTY DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE REORGANIZED Special to The Georglnu. Hartwell, Ga., July 5.—A mass meet ing of the Democrats of Hart county was held here today. Colonel J. It. Skelton was unanimously elected chairman of the executive committee and Colonel Arthur S. Richardson sec retary. The following were elected as mem bers of the executive committee: W. I. Halley, J. R. Myors, Oscar Herndon, Frank Sadler. W. R. McConnell, J. T. Phillips, J. G. Richardson, T.

M. Norman, L. Richard son, T. L. McMullan, Harrison San ders. “The quietest Fourth I remember," said Chief Turner, of the county police, , Thursday morning. "There were ne groes everywhere In the county, bar- , becues galore and all kinds of picnics, but little trouble." But the Fourth among the negroes was not without incident. Members of the county police reported a number of I occurrences which were not without an ! element of humor. A crowded electric car stopped at College Park and an officer on the plat form saw a big negro emerge from the calaboise and start on a run for the car. He climbed on board, his holiday toilet rather the worse for a July sun and the close air of the lock-up. He greeted a friend. "Dey done had me locked up all de mawnln’," he said. “Hit cost me two i dollahs an* er haaf." "Ain’t dey try you?" asked his friend. “No, dey Jes' lock mo up an’ git mab money,” said the victim of Justice. "Well, dat ain’t law," said the coun sellor. The car sped on, and at the next stop a deputy sheriff reached Into the crowd and extracted a negro who was too boisterous eveq for the Fourth, ah he departed to the calaboose the released prisoner watched him with Interest not unmixed with sympathy. "Dere now,” ho said. "Dere’s another pore nigger’s two-flfty gone." Out at River park a negro dance was in full blast. In the center o' the floor a troubled looking negro was swinging a “bright yaller" girl, who was ob livious of all but the strains of "St. Louis Tickle.” But trouble descended upon the pair. It took the form of a little black woman, with burning ey and a big umbrella. When she reached the pair the umbrella fell first across the head of the man and then wrecked the picnic hut of the yellow girl. The other dancers took their corners. “Here, stop that," said a county po lice officer who made his way into tho hall. “He’s mah husban’ an’ he shan’t dance wid dat gal," said the Injured wife. It ended b> the younger woman swearing out a warrant against tho wrecker of her headgear. Out on the Lakeview road were a Cozen barbecues. Roast pigs and sheep were on every hillside, and the atmos phere was pungent with the fragrance of the feast. Kegs of bee.r were flowing freely Into tin cups and some of the crowd bml drunk not wisely, but too well. When the time for returning came they were oblivious of thd world and Its sorrow. One wogon load of feasters started cityward on the run. A fat negro, who sat on the tAllboard absorbing the last bottle of beer, was Jolted out when tho wagon struck n stone, and the full broke his leg below the fnee. He yelled lustily*, but the roisterers were too busy to listen, and they left heir comrade b’lng In the road without ever slacking the pace. The next vehicle raised him from the dust and took him home. Hilt with nil the crowds and the plcn|c beer the Fourth was singularly* free from serious disorder. An affair at River park. In which a negro woman was sliced by a raxor, was reported late at night, but the county police were forced to make but few arrests. "But I’m glad it's over," said Chief Turner.

It was to this building that Jurgis came dally, as If dragged by an un- Ken hand. Th, month of May was «n exceptionally cool one, and his se cret prayers were granted: but early In June there came a record-breaking hot spell, and after that there were men wanted In tho fertiliser mill. The boas of the grinding room had tome to know Jyrgls by this time and had marked him for a likely man; and *« when he came to tho door about 3 O'clock this breathless hot day ho felt t "widen spasm of pain shoot through him—the boss beckoned to him!

Still, with the memory of his fourth months’ siege behind him, ho fought on, In a frenzy determination, and half an hour later he began to Vomit—he vom ited until it seemed ns If his Inwards must be torn to shreds. A man could get used to the fertilizer mill, the boss had told, if he would only make up Ills mln< to it; but Jurgls now began to see ttat it was a question of making up his stomach. At the end of that day of horror he could scarcely stand. He had to catch hlm.setf now and then, and lean against a building and get his bearings. Mo*t of the men, when they came out, made straight for a saloon—they sotmed to plAce fertilizer and rattle snake poison in ono class. But Jurgls wfti too 111 to think of drinking—he could only make his way to the street ond stagger on to a car. He had a sense of humor, and later on, when Tu* Th rain.- an old hand, lie used to th’nk It fun to board a Btreet car and see what happened. Now, however, he was too 111 to notice It—how the people ln the car began to gasp and sputter, to put their handkerchiefs to their noses, and transfix him with furious { dances. Jurgls only knew that a man n front of him Immediately got up Slid gave him a seat; and that half a minute later the two people on each side of him got up, and that In a full minute the crowded car was nearly empty—those passengers who could not get room on the platform having got ten out to walk. Of course Jurgls had made his home a miniature fertilizer mill a minute after entering. The stuff was half an in. h «!'*p in id** "Kin ills w'm.Ih svs- tem was full of It, and It would have taken a week not merely of scrubbing, but of vigorous exercise to get It out of him. As It was, he could be com pared with nothing known to men. save that newest discovery of the sav ants, a substance which Malt* emugy for an unlimited tlm* without being itself In the least diminished in pow er. He smelt so that ho made all the food at the table taste, and set the whole family to vomiting; for himself it was three days before he could keep anything upon his stomach—he might wash his hands, and uso a knife and fork, but were not his mouth and throat filled with the poison? And still Jurgls stuck It out! In spite of splitting headaches be would stagger down to the plant and take up his stand once more, and begin to shovel ln the blinding clouds of duet And so at the end of the week he was a fertilizer man for life—he was able to eat again, and though his head nev er stopped aching. It ceased to be so bed that he could not work. So there passed another summer. It was a summer of prosperity all over the country, and the country ate gen erously of packing house products, and there was plenty of work for all the family, in spite of the packers rff^rts to keep a superfluity of labor.
