POULTRY
BUTLER. TAYl.OR COUNTY. GEORGIA. THURSDAY. JtJLY 25
To A Bob-Tail Senator
To the Editor of The Herald
Enclosed I am herewith handing
you a copy of a letter, the original
of which J am mailing to Hon
T. W. Hardwick.
On account of his public oral
attack upon me personally at But
ler on July 13, at which time I did
not have the opportunity then and
here to reply, I shall ask as a
subscriber and responsible citizen
of Taylor County that you give
this letter such prominence as the
junior Senator has given my wire
message to him.
I merely wired him the follow
ing: “Cannot permit you to speak
in the town of Butler on July 13
He wired the judge of this circuit
and wired to Atlanta and to his
manager here, C. W. Foy, to see
that he was protected, ahd I am
informed noised this abroad over
the State wherever he thought he
could make a vote.
He perniciously and venomous
ly denounced all newspapers as
being bribed in his speech at But-

Hon. T. W. Hardwick,
Sandersville, Ga.
Dear Sir-
On the occasion of your
haranguing the people at Butler
in the interest of your candidacy
for the United States Senate on
last Saturday, the 13th inst., you
started your harangue by reading
a message which was sent to you
by me and which message you and
your followers seized upon like a
drowning man grabbing at a straw
to prejudice the minds of the peo
ple against me in your favor.
You heralded this wire message
all over Georgia, or a considerable
portion of it, judging from the
hurried message received from
your nervous and anxious friends
who were determined to see that
you had a hearing if they had to
call out the Georgia “melish.
You and your scared and uneasy
followers worked it for all it was
worth. You referred to me sev
eral times in your malicious and
venomous eagerness to catch
votes as “little two by four
mayor.”
When the Hon. Thomas E. Wat
son, whom you denounced all over
Georgia in your congressional race
and who had been your political
friend, referred to you in his Jef
fersonian as “our little bob-tail
Senator,” I thought him then too
severe on your bombastic dignity
and your ability, but your egotistic
and assinine performance at Butler
now convinces me that he sized
you corr^Uv-aad his estimate of
ur caliber and character has
been fully confirmed.
Is it not a little remarkable that
little “two by four mayor” should
ve so alarmed you and your
followers in Taylor County as to
the judge of this circuit to
ire the sheriff and clerk of Tay-
or County to summon the posse
omitatus and the “melish” if
ecessary to preserve order while
he junior Senator from Georgia
pouted out his disloyal utterances
o the dear “people”? I had
ather be “a little two by-four
mayor” and a patriotic, loyal
merican citizen in this hour of
our supreme crisis than to be an
bstructionist in the least of my
overnment’s efforts to win this
great war or to be a camouflaged
henchman of the Kaiser, or one
Who consumes practically two
hours to .explain his obstructive
vote as Senator during the hour of
our country’s peril, or to have the
people of my home town, who

Four Negroes Hurt
in MotorCar wreck.
Late yesterday afternoon four
negroes were injured when a mo
tor car on the A. B. & A. railroad
overturned on a sharp curve and
rolled down a steep embankment,
the accident occuring east of
Charing and near the residence, of
Mr. W. H. Ivey.
Following an unusual down
pour of rain during the afternoon,
section foreman J. L. Lynn with
eleven negro laborers started out
on a small motor car to investigate
damages to the track by the rain
The car was moving at a normal
rate of speed when suddenly it
left the track and scattered men
for many feet around, except those
covered by the overturning car.
Of the twelve persons on the
car only four received injuries,
two being serious and two badly-
bruised.
The injuries of the one
most seriously hurt consisted
of a crushed hip and bad
skull fracture, the scalp be
ing removed from a large por
tion of the head. His condition
is serious, but may not prove fa
tal. The next receiving more se
rious wounds was internally
injured together with gap
ing wounds on the head. The
wounds of the other two, while
painful, are not serious.
A hurried call was made imme
diately after the accident for all
ttife physicians of Butler. Drs
Fickling and Montgomery being
the only ones in the city at the
time responded and rendered best
medical aid possible to the suf
fering. They were in attendance
upon the wounded the greater
part of the night. They stated
that those injured were doing
nicely early this morning.
Foreman Lynn and seven of the
negroes escaped with practically
no injuries.
HOWARD HOMES BUR6LABIZED;
POSSE AND DQ6S IN PURSUIT
To a series of burglaries that
have occurred at Howard within
the past few years, at short inter
vals and without evidence as to
invader, another chapter was add
ed yesterday following the bur
glarizing the night before of the
home of Mr. P. F. Vanlandingham,
a negro house on the farm of Mr.
W. M. Brown, also a store at
Junction City, when a large posse,
headed by Sheriff Beeland with
track dogs, pressed close on the
track of George Williams, a negro,
in an all day chase covering forty
miles or more, all in the western
end of the county. The chase
continued well into the night and
without success.
Williams is unmistakably the
man muchly wanted for the recent
burglaries at least, as goods stolen
at Junction City and in Williams’
possession have been recovered
and identified.

loyal acts, and who have so
notified the world.
I had rather be “a little two by
four mayor” of a humble and loyal
little Georgia town than to be a
little strutting, pompous bob-tail
Senator who is so afraid of this
little two by four mayor as to wire
and ’phone his judicial friends and
his legal and representative friends
to see that he was protected and
unharmed by-this little two by
four mayor.
Now, take this from me: your
defeat at the hands of dear old
Georgia’s true and tried Democratic
host is just as sure as the defeat
of the Kaiser at the hands of the
world’s armed host on the battle
fields of Europe. G. C. SMITH.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM MR. JACK NELSON
June, 29th, 1918.
Editor Herald:
Will try to write you
about my trip. I left Camp Green-
leaf for Chattanooga at 1:30 Wed
nesday. Here we were met by
the Red Cross ladies who gave us
cigarettes and post cards. We
left Chattanooga at 3:30 and pas
sed through Cleveland, Knoxville,
Bristol and from thence on into
Virginia. This is a pretty coun
try s and somewhat cooler than
what we have been used to for
the past few months. At Roanoke
the Red Cross ladies met us again,
serving the soldiers with
cantaloupes and cigarettes, also
post cards. Roanoke is some
burg and the pretty girls dwell
there, believe me! At Lynchburg
the ladies served us with
sandwiches and coffee. We
stopped at Monroe, Va., and took
a little hike of about two miles.
This is a small town but somewhat
of a railroad center. After leav
ing this place we went thru a tun
nel at least one-half mile long, I
thought we would never get
through. Such experiences as
this almost make you forget that
you are in the army. We left
Washington about dark. I have
done quite a little riding in recent
months, but this train was
the fastest of my experience. In
about 40 or 50 minutes we were
in Baltimore. The boys are mak
ing so much noise and the train
running so fast that it is almost
impossible to write. Just out of
Baltimore we passed thru Wilming
ton, Dele., here we saw large
numbers of ships in course of
construction. I think the farther
we go the more interesting it be
comes, at least it has proved to
be that way so far since leaving
camp. At this moment I am
watching ships, lighted up with
different colors, sail up and down
the Deleware River. Would give
anything if it was only daylight.
Next we reached Philadelphia,
changed train crew and passed on
thru Trenton and Newark, N. J.
After a short stop in New York
we pulled out of the terminal right
into a tunnel about two miles long,
crossing the Hudson River and on
into Connecticut, arriving soon at
Bridgeport. This is a fine place,
saw one large plant where shells
are made for the machine guns.
Saloons seem to be plentiful in
this part of the country. Next we
arrived at New Haven, Conn.,
railroad shops located here and
lots of water around the place, but
(ui land scenery Virginia far sur
passes this state. Going thru
Connecticut, in places, we were in
thirty feet of water, the water be
ing on both sides of the railroad
as far as one could see. At New
London, Conn., the train stopped
at a coal chute where they are
coaling vessels and we saw some
beautiful vships. A large new
bridge is being constructed over
Thames River. Norwitch ancf
Springfield, Conn., are both inter
esting cities. All fences in Con-
neticut are built of rock instead of
wire. At Worcester, Mass., we
stopped for 15 minutes and the
Red Cross ladies passed us candy,
cigarettes, post cards and pencils.
This is some swell place and the
people certainly didn’t fail to turn
out and welcome the soldier boys.
This is a large manufacturing city
and has a population of 181,000.
Massachusetts is covered with
beautiful lakes. I don’t know
how we could get along without
the Red Cross. A lady told me
that they served 22,000 soldiers
the other night.
Well, we arrived at the end
of our journey, Camp Deven, at
3:30 p. m., July 1, 1918.
This has been a trip that will be

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT
BURIED BY GERMANS
Death of Son of Former President
Confirmed at Amsterdam — Iden
tification in Pocket Case.
The death of Quentin Roosevelt
is confirmed by a Wolff Bureau
message from, the front, according
to a Berlin dispatch received.
The message adds that young
Roosevelt was buried with military
honors by the Germans. The
story of the fatal encounter, as
told by the Wolff Bureau corres
pondent, follows:
“On Sunday, July 14, an Amer
ican squadron, of twelve planes,
was trying to break through the
German defense over the Marne.
In the violent combat which en
sued with seven German machines,
one American aviator stubbornly
made repeated attacks. This
culminated in a duel" between him
and a German non-commissioned
officer, who, after a short fight,
succeeded in getting good a>m at
his brave, but inexperienced op
ponent, whose machine fell after
a few shots near the village of
.Chambray, ten kilometers north
of the Marne.
“His pocket <?ase showed him to
be Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt, of
the aviation section of the United
States Army. The personal be
longings of the fallen airman are
being carefully kept with a view
to sending them later to his rela
tives. The earthly remains of the
brave young airman were buried
with military honors by German
aviators near Chambray at the
spot where he fell.”
long remembered by me, I had a
lot of pleasure from beginning to
end. May we all live to get back
home and tell all about it. Am
unable to say “where we go from
here.” Respectfully,
JACK NELSON.
