Mr. Hartshorn It a bookkeeper at tho Piedmont hotel, who left recently for Boston on the steamer Nacooohee. Ho writes The Georgian a vivid narrative of the rescue of alx sailors from drift ing rafta In a heavy tea. Oft Montauk Point, Sept. 20.—Six shipwrecked sailors, standing knee deep In waterlogged rafta and tossed through a stormy night In the rough sea off Hatteras, have Just been rescued by our ship, the Nacoochee, of the Savan nah line. Saving themselves from the alnklng schooner 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 falling with every ship that passed In the ofBng 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 his ship. The Nacoochee, Captain Howlett, of the Oeean Steamship Company, left Savannah tor Boston last Monday at- l ternoon. When we cleared Tybee Light and steamed Into the open sea we met rough weather and a choppy sea. “Must have been pretty rough off Hatteras,” remarked Captain Howlett “We'll meet some wreckage yet Bet ter keep an eye open for derelicts.' Floating 8peek 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: “Baft on the weather bow," To a landsmen's eye there was noth ing in sight but a tiny speck that rose on a swe.ll and disappeared again be hind the waves. But the glass showed something moving on the speck 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 c the Nellie Floyd. The rescue 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. The rescued sailors told a story of fearful experience. The schooner Nellie Floyd was bound from New York to Savannah with a cargo of coal. On Monday the schooner met a _ gale and her cargo nhlf the hold, rendering her unmanageable. Her maets were cut away, but el listed until the heavy seas ran over her decks and It was evident that she could not last out the storm. Captain 8!nks With 8Hlp. The crew lashed several of her batches together and made rude rafta 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 sblp and no entreaties could per- suade him to embark again on the 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 rafts from 3:80 o'clock Monday afternoon until 9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. They lashed themselves to the rafts to keep from being swept away. When the long night had passed the two four men and the other 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 Captain Howlett and to First Offlcer Nelson and the brave men who accom- inled him on the rescue In a small jat. The passengers of the Nacoochee are as proud of the rescue as though they had taken a persona! port 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 had been cut or carried away and she drift ed and wallowed In the trough of the waves, a menace to event vessel on the seas. There was no sign of life on board her and the Nacoochee made no stop. She will be reported at Boston and the government cruisers will watch for an opportunity to destroy her. ECULIAR DISEASE AFFECTING COTTON Spools! to The Georgian. Washington, Ga., Sept. 27.

ATLANTA VERY DRY: MAY BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE SALOONS OPEN Continued from Page ,LL- traffic will not be In good running order again for about two weeks, 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 close of citizens whose business was deemed detrimental to the public weal during the present crisis. Although the fact that the city itould lose money, that the city would be financially Inconvenienced, that the move was radical and that the saloons were not wholly responsible —If at alt —for the events of the past few days were all cited in divers ways and the arguments driven Impressively with eloquence by men of Influence and .af fluence, the determination of the peo ple to wipe out the possibility of i continuance of tbo stormy times which have swept over Atlanta prevailed. If the movement was radical, argued the supporters. It took radical means to 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 evety license to sell whisky or beer, wholesale or re tail, which has heretofore been grant ed by the city of Atlanta, be and the same is hereby revoked. “Be It further resolved, all persons desiring a renewal or continuation of license thus revoked shall make " cation under existing ordinances renewal of license. That an Intention to apply shall be published for three days In The Atlanta Constitution, At lanta Journnl, Atlanta News and At lanta Georgian, and a copy of said ad vertisement shall accompany each ap plication. That upon the filing of eeld application with the clerk of council then the same 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 In the council chamber, beginning with October 2, 1903, at such hours a* shall be appointed, and shall proceed and make their recommenda tions on each petition. . . .. "That all licenses granted shall ex pire with June 80, 1907.” The rules were then suspended and Attorney Reuben Arnold recognised. Reubsn Arnold Explains. Attorney Arnold opened his address by saying: "I wish It understood that I 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 ht was making the light 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 dosed as as it was deemed necessary, but the revocation of license would do the saloonkeepers a gross Injustice. He stated that it was laying the crimes committed during ths riot on their heads, and that It was accusing the saloon men of being lawbreakers and making them prove that they were not Dr. Whits Dsfsnds Report. Dr. John E. White was the next citi zen to take the floor. He said the report expressed the sentiment of the people; that the Decatur street dives must be cleared out; that they were admittedly the cause of the attempted assaults of the last few months, and In a few words told of the meeting of citizens. W. E. 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 closed until a decision could be reached as to which saloons should be wiped out of existence. Louis Gholstln said that the manu facturers and others In that class were standing the heaviest loss and struck the keynote, which brought down the house, when he declared: "We must do the most good for ths most peo- P> Joseph E. Maddox statsd that the report was not Just to the saloon men and argued against It. Attorney Benjamin Phillips argued that the committee was proposing to the council Just what every one was now up in arms about—punishment of the Innocent. H. Y. McCord, Major R. J. Guinn and L. C. Hopkins all stoutly argued for the adoption of the resolution. Msyor Opposss Report. Mayor Woodward argued the matter from a standpoint of equity. He sided with the opposition, stating that the saloon men wsra not responsible for NEGROES EIRE ON WRITE MAN IN ST An unknown white man was tired on Wednesday night shortly before 10 o'clock by negroes secreted In a house In Hightower street. Just off McDan iel. A detail of state troops, under com mand of Captain Preston, was doing patrol duty In tbo vicinity and was rushed to the scene. The soldiers charged the house and arrested nine negro men, also confiscating several re volvers and some ammunition, sword was also found In the house.

TO STUMP STATE IN SPECIAL TRAIN New York, Sept. 27.—Charles Hughes, Republican nominee for gov ernor, will stump the state. He will visit every seitlon of the Empire State and make himself personally known to the voters. Hughes' campaign trip will probably be made In a special train. His cam palgn will resemble the whirlwind tour of the trip made by Theodora Roose velt In 1898. Mr. Hughes said today that he was In the fight to win. He said the nomina tion had come tq him In a pleasant way. Mr. Hughes said he would not Indulge In a newspaper campaign, and that when he had smythlng to eay would say It publicly to assemblages that cared to hear him. COUNTY MOVEMENT RECEIVE8 8UPPORT.

'Til tell you this,” said the councilman, "If this does not go through, I believe there will be a prohi bition election within thirty days.” Councilman Martin declared that the homes, women and children must be protected, and that he proposed to cast his vote In favor of tne people.

MILITARY PATROL IS Military patrol In Atlanta now Is a thing of the past, although all of the local companies are .ready to respond to any emergency call.

Military headquarters was changed Wednesday ' from the Elkln-Watson drug store to the Governor's Horse Guard armory In Edgewood avenue. ' Capote Makes Threat. 'The American commlslsonars have shown marked partiality," he said. They have not regarded these men ns rebels, but have simply treated with them as an armed force In the field. Never before bss ths 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 here for the urpose of backing up the rebel cause, 'he American navy Is not the only one. Other nations also have large Inter ests In Cuba, and It would be easier for us to precipitate the Intervention of some other government than that of the United States. What an easy thing for us to destroy the property of British or German subjects, and quickly we would see here the war ships of those nations.” The Implied threat to use dynamite to blow up American and other forelrn property made by Capote was openly made by the more hot-headed Moder ates.
