DECLINES OFFER OF $BO,OOO TO JOIN FEDERAL LEAGUE
MAWSON [3 AVED
BY HIDDEN FOOO
Explorer in Antarctic Regions Has
Terrible Experience While Sep
arated From Companions,
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA. March
2.—Dr. Douglas Mawson, who has
just returnel from the Antarclic,
vividly describes the disastrous sledge
journey on which Lieutenant B. E. S.
Ninnis, of the Royal Fusiliers, and
Dr. Xavier Mertz perished. After the
loss of his companiorns, he was alone
for 30 days. His food was exhausted,
he was stumbling along in a snow
storm when he happened to see a
black spot ard discovered it was a
cache,
After restoring his strength suffi
ciently, as h 2 theought, to reach his
base, 21 miles away, he left the re
mainder of the contents of the cache
for the search party which he thought
would b 2 sent out. But so furious
grew the storm that Mawson could
make his way no more than two
miles. So he dragged himeelf baek to
the cache, where the searching party
found him.
He has been in poor health ever
since this trying experience in Feb
ruary, last year, so little sledging was
undertaken afterward. The health of
the rest of the party was exceptionul
1y good. 5
Terrific winds were experienced at
the expedition’s base in Adelieland.
During one whole month the wind's
speed averaged 63 miles an hour. For
one hour it Hlew 116 miles, and gusts
were frequently gauged at over 200
miles an hour. These winds delayed
the party, but they took advantage
of the delay to make a magnificent
collection of eggs, some extremely
rare,
Dr. Mawson emphasized the value
of wireless telegraphy to him and in
gisted that no similar expedition
should be uadertaken without wire
less apparatus.
Finds Huge Coal Deposits.
Occasional exposed rocks indi
cated the existence of a vast coal
bed; besides many signs of copper
and other minerals were found.
The dredging, whnich yielded the
finest collection of biological speci
mens ever found in the Antarctic,
was carried cut partly on the home
ward voyage. Westward of their
base sonie extraordinary fish and sea
animals were obtained from a depth
of two miles,
The scientific results will be given
to the Geographical Association of
Australia.
The Aurora, the expedition's ship,
on her way back to Adelaide experi
enced two severe hurricanes, She
had lost her motor launch in the ice,
and the ship was badly nipped on one
oceasion, when it took clever sea
manship to extricate her.

Hot Fight Expected Between Attorney General
and Hardwick for Bacon’s Term.
Thomas S. Felder, of Bibb County,
Attorney General of Georgia and or
mer member of the State House of
Representatives and the Senate, is
an active and aggressive candidate for
the unexpired Senatorial term of the
late Senator A. O. Bacon,
Mr. Felder's announcement, com
ing as it did upon the heels of Con
gressman Hardwick’s announcement
for the same high office, has great
ly complicated an already badly
mixed political situation in Georgia.
Felder and Hardwick have trained
generally with the same school of
politics in the State, and the can
didacy of both for the same office
has created something of a political
sensation, Both men will run as
South Georgia candidates, thus indi
cating early in the struggle that the
primary right of South Georgia to one
of the Senatorships is to be made a
big issue in the fight.
Attorney General Felder is recog
nized as one of the most resourceful
men in public life in Georgia. His

THOMAS S. FELDER.
career in the Legislature is not to be
characterized prbpetly by any word
less emphatic than brilliant, Quick
and tremendously effective in running
debate on the floor, he is no less po
tent in calm and well congidered
utterance. In the matter of political
strategy, too, there have been few
men in the Legislature of late years
the peers of Felder.
If Felder and Hardwick sghall meet
on the stump, the subsequent pro
ceedings will be worth going miles
and miles to witness, The first wiclds
& rapier in debate, the latter wields a
bludgeon. Both men are graduates
of the University of Georgla, in the
academic and law departments.
The Attorney General is dolng little
talking at this s!u%c of the proceed
ings. Indeed, further than to state
positively that he is in the race
for the Senate “to remain until the
finish,” he will not discuss the matter,
He promises, however, to promulgate
a platform of principleg’ within the
next week or ten days.
