Mr. Hariihorn I, a bookkeeper at the Piedmont hotol, who left recently for Boeton on tho steamer Nacooehes, He writes Ths Georgian a vivid narrativs of tha rescue of six sailors from drift, ing rafts in a hsavy sea. Oft Montauk Point, Sept. 20.-r8lx shipwrecked sailors, standing knee deep In waterlogged rafts and tossed through a stormy night In the rough sea 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. The Nacoochee, Captain Howlett, of BIG CROWD EXPECTED ST AUGUSTA’S FAI Special to The Georgias.

HACRS. 7385 Main Street, MambaII, Mich. 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, squad of police will be on band city line to meet the crowd when the 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. PECULIAR DISEASE AFFECTING COTTON Special to The Georgian.

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. Dr. Whits Dsfends Report. Dr. John B. While was the next clti- sen to take the floor.

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 standing the heaviest loss and struck the keynote, which brought down the house, when he declared: "We must do the most good for the most-, peo- pie." Joseph E. Muildox stated that the re|mrt was not Just to the saloon men and argued against It. .

LID CLOSED DOWN 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 ships of those nations.’’ - The Implied threat to use dynamite to blow up American and other forelsn property made by Capote was openly made by the more hot-headed Moder ates.
