shipwrecked sailors, standing knee

ofT Hntteras, have Just been rescued by
our ship, the Kacoochee, of the Savan
nah Une.
Saving themselves from the sinking
echooner Nellie Floyd, they have been
drifting since yesterday afternoon, the
rafts sinking deeper and deeper be
neath the waves, their bodies growing
weaker with every hour of exposure,
their spirits failing with every ship
Chat passed in the offlng without seeing
or heeding their signals of distress.
When they were taken on board the
Nacoochee they were half dead from
their terrible experlenc. These six men
were all' that were left of the crew of
the Nellie Floyd. The captain had gone
down with hla ship.

temoon. When we cleared Tybee Light
and eteamed Into the open aea we met
rough weather and a choppy aea.
“Must have been pretty rough off
Hatteraa,” remarked Captain Howlett.
“We'll meet some wreckage yet. Bet
ter keep an eye open for derelicts.''
Floating Speck 8ightsd.
Nothing out of the ordinary occurred
until we reached Frying Pan Shoals,
at 9:20 o’clock Tuesday morning. Then
the watch In the bow sang out:
“Raft on the weather bow.’’
To a landsmen's eye there was noth
ing in sight but a tiny apeck that rose
on a swell and disappeared again be
hind the waves. But the glass showed
something moving on tho apeck and
Captain Howlett rang the signal for
the Nacoochee to lay to. A boat with
First Officer Nelson and four sailors
was lowered away and pulled rapidly
toward the bit of floating wreckage, as
It appeared to be. It returned with
four men who were hauled on board
and rapped in blankets to restore their
numbed bodies. It Is cold off this coast,
even In September.
Hardly had the Nacoochee resumed
her course than another raft was sight
ed. Mr. Nelson and his crew again re
sponded and succeeded In rescuing two
more sailors, also a part of the crew of
the Nellie Floyd. The rescue of the
Shipwrecked men was no easy task, for
the sea was still rough after the storm
and the boat tossed In a way that
threatened to swamp It.
Tly> .rescued sailors told a story of
a fearful experience. The schooner
Neills Floyd was bound from New
York to Savannah with a cargo of
coal. On Monday the schooner met a
heavy gale and her cargo shifted In
the hold, rendering her unmanageable.
Her masts were cut away, but still she
listed until the heavy seas ran over
her decks and It was evident that she
could not last out the storm.
Captain Sinks With 8hlp,
The crew lashed several of her
hatches together and made rude rafts.
They made several attempts to leave
the sinking schooner, but the rafts
were dashed against the wreckage and
barely escaped being smashed. After
several attempts Captain Matthewson
announced his determination to stay by
his ship and no entreaties could per-
siiade him to embark again on the
rafts. Soon the frail craft succeeded
In getting clear of the nearly sub
merged vessel and drifted away. In
less than an hour the Nellie Floyd went
down. Captain Matthewson staying
with her to the last.
Standing knee deep In water and
with waves dashing over their bodies
and threatening to sweep them from
the hold, the crew stuck to the .-afts
from 2:20 o'clock Monday afternoon
until S:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
They lashed themselves to the raftn to
keep from being swept away. When
tho long night had passed the two
several hundred street car strike aym
pathlaers paraded the streets of Ma
con last night and hooted and Jeered
non-union men running the cars.
A mass meeting In the Interest of the
strikers was scheduled to take place
Just beyond the city limits In South
Macon at 8 o’clock, and It was to this
point the crowd marched. After the
meeting, where several speeches de
nounclng the street railway olllclals
were made, the crowd marched back to
tho center of the city and os tho march
continued the crowd swelled In num
bers. Strict orders had been Issued by
Chief Conner to arrest all who made
use of the \vord “scab," and knowing
tho severe penalty awaiting In Judge
VnHinirhnm'ai hnlirl fntv fhnro WAPA
Nottingham's court, few there were
who used the word and no arrests were
made.
No little excitement was caused
about 10 o’clock at Fourth and Mul
berry streets, when one of the crew on
a passing car Hashed a gun and Im
mediately there were loud cries for the
man's arrest.
Tonight another mass meeting
scheduled to take place In East Mscon,

meeting Is over.
rafts had drifted apart, one_carrytng
tour men and the otfn
jer two. Though In
the track of coastwise vessels, they
feared that they would sink before a
passing ship might be hailed. Several
steamers and a sailing vessel passed
early In the morning but the men were
unable to attract attention and were
In despair when the Nacoochee caught
their signal of distress.
Too much honor cannot bo done to
Cnptain Howlett and to First Officer
Nelson and the brave men who accom-
nleil him on the rescue In a small
„,at. The passengers of the Nacoochee
are as proud of tho rescue ns though
they had taken a personal part In It.
The storm on the coast must have
been severe. We passed a derelict
Tuesday morning, a big lumber schoon
er laden with lumber. Her masts lmd
l>een cut or carried away and she drift
ed and wallowed In the trough of the
aves. a menace to every vessel on
the seas. There was no sign of life on
board her and the Nacoochee mode no
stop. She will be reported at Boston
and the government cruisers will watch
for an opportunity to destroy her.

ATLANTA VERY DRY;
MAY BE TWO WEEKS
BEFORE SALOONS OPEN
Contlnusd from Psgs f %
traffic will not be In good running order
again for about two weeke, and many
of the saloons in the city will never
again open their doors.
The victory was that of the people
over the single Interest of one clask of
cltlscns whose business was deemed
detrimental to the public weal during
the present crisis.
Although the fact that the city would
lose money, that the city would be
financially Inconvenienced, that the
move was radical and that the saloons
were not wholly responsible —If at all
were allotted In divers ways and
arguments driven Impressively with
eloquence by men of Influence and of,
fluence, the determination of the poo,
pie to wipe out the possibility of <
continuance of the stormy times which
have swept over Atlanta prevailed.
If the movement waa radical, argued
cure the radical conditions.
If the movement would financially
embarrass Atlanta then It was better
to be financially embarrassed than
morally so.
Committee's Report.
The light was launched by the police
committee, which.made the follownlg
report:
'Resolved, by the mayor and gener
al council, That each and evoiy license
to sell whisky or boer, wholesale or re
tail, which has heretofore been grant
ed by the city of Atlanta, be and ths
same Is hereby revoked.
'Be It further resolved, all persons
desiring a renewal or continuation of
to apply_shall be published for three
days In ~
lanta Journal, Atlanta News
tanta Georgian, and a copy of said ad
vertisement shall accompany each ap
plication. That upon the filing of said
application with the clerk of council
then the-sams be Immediately trans
mitted to the chairman of ths police
committee.
“That the special committee to whom
said applications are referred shall hold
open sessions tn the council chamber,
beginning with October 2, 1908, at such
hours as shali be appointed, and snail
proceed and make their recommenda
tions on each petition.
“That all licenses granted shall ex,
plre with June SO, 1907."
The rules were then suspended and
Attorney Reuben Arnold recognised.
Rsubsn Arnold Explains., •
Attorney Arnold opened his address
saying: “I wish It understood that
am representing the several liquor
men who have come to me and asked
me to put their case before the coun
cil.”
He then further explained that he
was making the fight as an attorney
representing his clients. His argument
was based along the line that the move
ment suggested by the committee was
entirely too radical; that It was all
right to keep the saloons closed as
long as It was deemed necessary, but
that the revocation of license would do
the saloonkeepers a gross Injustice. He
stated that It was laying the crimes
committed during the riot on their
heads, and that It was accusing the
saloon men of being lawbreakers and
mnklng them prove that they were
not.

In a few words told of the meeting of

W. K. Newlll made a strong plea for
the passage of the report. He stated
that the Interest of the homes was at
stake and that the saloons should be
dosed until a dedslon could be reached
ns to which saloons should be wiped
out of existence.
Louis Oholstln said that the manu
facturers und others In that cIbbs wore

the keynote, which brought down the
house, when he declared: "We must

Joseph E. Muildox stated that the

that the committee was proposing to

ON MACON SALOONS
Capote Makss Threat,
“The American commlsleoners have
ehown marked partiality," he said.
‘They have not regarded these men as
rebels, but have limply treated with
them as an armed force In the field.
Never before hae the American gov
ernment treated with rebels. It was
not done under the McKinley admin
istration In the previous Cuban revo
lution. It looks much as though the
American warships were hero for the
purpose of backing up the rebel cause.
The American navy Is not the only one.
Other natlona also have large Inter
ests In Cuba, and It would be easier
for us to precipitate the Intervention
of some other government thun that of
the United States. What an easy
British or Oerman subjects,
quickly we would see here the war

The Implied threat to use dynamite to
blow up American and other forelsn
property made by Capote was openly
