LET RA WLINS HANG!
A TTORNE Y COOPER IS
READY TO GIVE UP
Will Fight For Boys
to Foot of Gal
lons.
It old man J. G. Rawlins still wants
to die on the gallows and Is tired of the
efforts being made by •vttorney John R.
Cooper in his behalf, he will get Ills
wish, and Jt will take an act of the
legislature or some .action just, an
strong to prevent him from paying the
death penalty nt the end of a rope.
After twice taking the old man’s
case to the supreme court of the
United States, nnd all the time having
Rawlins quoted In the newspapers As
not appreciating these efforts, Attorney
Cooper has now decided to let Rawlins
hang. If hang he'wants to.
Attorney Cooper has just returned to
Macon from Atlanta and he declared
that so far ns the old man was con
cerned his ettorts at keeping him from
the gallows were at An end, providing
th# old man wants to dla, tnd Uii
latest that has come from the Valdosta
Jail Is to the effect that Rawlins Is tired
of delay and wants to pay his penalty.
Will Fight for Boys.
But with the two sons of the old man,
Milton and Jesse, the case is different,
and Attorney Cooper declared he would
not let them hang. At the same time
he took occasion to express himself
strongly about the prison commission
nnd declared a scheme was on toot to
make him stop lighting for the llv
the in (is.
Their father, together with the ne
gro, Alf Moore. Is sentenced to die on
December 4, and the date set for th
execution of the two boys Is on De
cember 7. Attorney Cooper declure
ti*K arrangement only gives him thre
days in which to work for the lK>yj
and he says further that the fixing of
:he date at this tlrao was nothing more
than a scheme to block his efforts.
Even at that he says he has not
quit, and that if the prison commission
does not take some tlon in the near
future he will take the cases of the hoy
again In the courts and prevent the
high rhertff of Lowndes from springing
the. tr» p on December 7. Tomorrow
Attorney Cooper Is going to Valdosta
for a conference with old man J. G
Rawlins and If he still says he Is anx
ious to die with Alf Moore on the gal
lows in the hope of hearing the negro
make a confession that will show the
two boys innocent of the bloody work
that snuffed out the lives of the Carter
children. Cooper will let him die.

CRUEL TREATMENT
OF MEN OF CREW
CHARGED TO PEAR Y

One of the Sailors
Writes Letter of
Criticism.
Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 20.—Charges of
Commander Robert Peary's mistreat
ment of his crew, of hardships Imposed
unnecessarily on the passage south, be
side which the sufferings of the frozen
north were as nothing, of unhealthy
qusrteri—In short, a general criticism
of the man who has pushed farthest
north, Is contained In a letter from one
of the Roosevelt’s crew, which was
received here today.
J. Shortall Is the complainant. He
wrote the letter on October 22 at Hope-
dale. It tra* forK-trded on the ship
Virginian Lake to Sydney. N. S., where
It was mailed to friends In Ottawa.
Ship Slung Three Rudders.
Shortali writes that conditions had
become so bod when they reached
Hopedale that the mate, four sailors
and four flremen refused to go further
on the ship, which was leaking badly
through Its crushed stern. The Roose
velt had slung Its third rudder, which
was but a poor makeshift. Two rud-
I ders were carried oway on the down
passage.
The members of the crew hod little
to eat and were living In squalor,
short all around. Their experiences
were worse, he wrote, than the hard
ships. they endured In the Polar re
gions.
Would Net Go Again.
Shortall Bays they had the hardest
time on the voyage of any crew that
ever was oflnnt. He declares that none
of them wobld go-north ngain under
any circumstances.
One of the, crew of the Virginian
Lake, who boarded the Roosevelt at
Hopedale. stated the crew told him the
vessel hail three boilers when It left
Sydney, but While off Greenland two
of them burst. The crew also said the
ship was not strong. It was totally
unlit for Arctic work, and as one of
them put It, "after getting Into heavy
Ice It came together tike an accordion
playing music.”
Peary is Criticised.
The Roosevelt. It Is declared, Is al
together too light for forcing Its way
thtongh floes to the pole.
On the way north the men said that
they landed part of the stores, Penry
tolling them that In fifteen months
there would be n relief ship sent to
them. But such a ship. never came.
Since August last they have been living
on two meals n day. Xhey criticised
Peary In the strongest terms possible,
nnd said they would not undertake a
similar voyage In such a ship again for
all the mohey In the United States
treasury.

Alabama Statesman
Says South Should •
Demand It.
Traffic Demoralized.
Probably never before ba» traffic on
the railroads centering In Mejnphls
suffered such complete demoralisation.
Washington. Nov. 20.—"Resolved that
the Democratic party of the United
States Is, and has always been, a
white man's party.”
This plank Senator J. T. Slorgan, of
Alabama, believes should bo Inserted
In the next natlanal platform. He goes
further. He believes that some state,
through Its delegates assembled, should
press this plank before the convention’s
committee on resolutions, with the dec.
laratlon that the delegates will with
draw In case It Is not considered.
Alabama to Insist.
He would urge that the plank come
from a delegation representing a North,
ern state, but If such Is not the wish
ot a delegation, rather than have the
subject matter eliminated, he advocates jLIt ss we'of "the Sou th' aredo’lng’ To”-’
Hla own state, Alabama, comes first on
th. alphabetical list, and the high re
gard in which the senator’s views ere
held In that state Insures that Its dele
gates to the next national convention
will Insist upon the ndoption of such a
plank. That they will be enforced by
other Southern states goes without
saying.
At the St. Louis national convention
In 1404 a suggestion was made along
similar lines, though not so clear-cut,
brief nnd forcible. The resolution com
mittee there promptly threw It out.
The Eastern contingent, having nomi
nated the candidate, was concsded the
right to write the platform, and to the
disgust of many Southern politicians
the negro question was Ignored.
“Would Carry Presidency.”
Should .the delegates of any one
state submit this plank, with a decla
ration of withdrawn! If It Is rejected,
It would carry through,” said Senator
Morgan last night. "Moreover, It would
carry the presidency. ■ It Woul„ d -v- op
every other Issue. In the So- .hern
states the question Is scut- to' .y and
such a declaration on t’n ,*i of the
Democratic national co; ,-i 17 ton would
bring the negro quest' «. o to the
people of the North. *rh»- sooner or
i n., r. till have to meet ,t lace to face,

Long distance telephone wires are

COFFEE IMPORTERS
Publish a Book About Coffee.
There has bfeen much discussion as to
Cofree and Postum lately, so much In
fact that some of the coffee Importers
and roasters have taken to type to pro
mote the sale of their wares and check
If possible the rapid growth of the use
of Postum Food Qoffee.
In the coffee Importers’ book a chap
ter Is headed "Coffee as a Medicine”
and advocates Its use as such.
Here Is an admission of the truth,
most Important to all Interested.
Every physician 'knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, thut
habitual use of any “medicine” of'the
drug-stimulant type of coffee or whlsky
qulckly causes irrlfutlon of the tissues
and organs stimulated and finally sets
up disease In the gfeat majority of
cases If persisted in. It may show In
any one or the many orgaifk of the
body and In the great majority of cases
can be directly traced to coffee In u
most unmistakable way by leaving off
the active Irritant—coffee—and using
Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten
days. If the result Is relief from nerv
ous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel com
plaint. heart failure, weak eyes, or any
other malady set up by a poisoned
nervous system, you have your answer
with the accuracy of a demonstration
In mathematics.
