2 FARMERS' UNION FIRES OFFICIAL; SECRET MEETING It Is Said He Was Charged With Taking Political Bribes. Vote for Discharge Believed to Have Been Unanimous The executive committee of the Geor ria Farmers’ union is believed to have net Thursday at the Henderson hotel and iischarged one of its officials alleged to lave taken political bribes. No official Manfirmation has been secured from any M the committee, but there seems to se no doubt that there was a meet!tut of the committee at the Henderson hotel ind that an official was discharged. It is laid that his trial lasted for sev eral hours that there were a number of witnesses and that stenographic notes >f their testimony are voluminous. The trial and discharge are said to lave resulted from discoveries made by President John L Lee. It is said that se has unearthed a scheme of certain officials of the union to put the union hto the hands of politicians. There was almost consternation among the executive committee when evidence was produced that convicted the dis charged official. The vote of the com mittee was unanimously for his dis charge. I NEW YORK STATeIn' FIGHT ON NOMINATIONS ALBANY. N. Y-. May The legislative tattle over the question of direct nominations for New York state promises to jrezk In the state legislature this week and the outcome Is eee of doubt and uncertainty. The few peeitmlnary skirminshes which have marked the session thus far have failed to develop the strength of the followers of the rartons primary measures under consideration and the sodden appearance of a so-called com gram Ise bill has only added to the perplexities *f the situation. Four hostile armies are now encamped at the Capital waiting for the fray. The supporters of the policies of Governor Hughes are rally ing around the standard of the "Hinman Green" direct nominations Mil: the Republican ••organization" mem tiers are preparing to risk their political lives for the ••Meade-Phillips" nwasure drafted by a committee which investl - gated the direct primary system in several States: the Democrats are supporting the Demo cratic league bill, and stragglers from the rival camps are tacking the “Cobb compromise" bill, which abolishes intermediate conventions and provides for tbe nomination of state senators and assemblymen at tbe primaries. ODORS INPALOS MINE DELAYS WORK OF RESCUE BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. May 7.—The dis covery of a small fire in No. 4 right entry at the Palos mines where Thursday's dis astrous explosion occurred has seriousiy bampered the rescue work today. When the fire was discovered all rescuers were ordered out of the mine and alarming re ports were circulated about condition of the interior. It was found later taht the Ore was not larger than a man's hat. but it had caused much smoke and several hours were lost before work could be re sumed in earnest • For a short time there appeared to be some little friction among the men in charge of the rescuers, but everything was going smoothly tonight. While only about 35 bodies have been brought out up to this hour, the men are still working with vigor. They are now having trouble with the terrible odors arising from decomposing mule flesh A number of the animals were worked In the mine and all were killed. As the bodies of the human victims have now been In the mine unattended for over 43 hours, some of them are found to be very badly decomposed. • The Red Cross relief fund is still grow ing and the response in Birmingham has been remarkably spontaneous.

It has been truthfully said that any dis turbance of the even balance of health causes serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sickness, weakness, or debility. The system needs a tonic, craves it, and should not be denied it; and the best tonic of which we have any knowledge is Hood's Sarsaparilla. What this medi cine has done in keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up the even balance of health, gives it the same distinction as a preventive that it enjoys as a cure. Its early use has illustrated the wisdom of the old saying that a stitch in time saves nine. Take Hood's for appetite, strength, and endurance. AUTO CUTS POLEINTWO: DRIVER GOES OVER WIRE SAVANNAH.

Roosevelt Sends Message BERLIN, May 7-David J Hill, the American ambassador, has received a tel egram from Colonel Roosevelt asking him to express to the emperor hia sympathies in the death of King Edward and sug gesting that it might be thought best to modify the program as arranged for hi* entertainment in Berlin, which modifica tion he would felly understand. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. TUESDAY. MAY 10, 1910. ROOSEVELT PRAISES KING EDWARD'S TACT Recalls Miniature Monarch Gave Him —Has Quiet Day in Stockholm STOCKHOLM, May 7,-Ex-President Roosevelt, who arrived here today, was gieatly shocked when he learned of King Edward's death. What effect it will have on his London plans he cannot for the present say, but It is his intention tr- go to Berlin and complete his itinerary as announced. Colonel Roosevelt today sent a mes sage to Ambassador Hill inquiring if King Edward's death would necessitate a change in the emperor s plans, desiring to be advised should the emperor go to Lcndon. In that event the former presi dent would undoubtedly be either the great of the American ambassador or proceed to a hotel. He has a fixed en gagement to lecture at Berlin university on May 12. Speaking of the late king’s tact, Mr. Roosevelt gave an illustration of what he termed the finer sense of things which the king possessed. A VALUED SOUVENIR. “Next to the ring John Hay gave me," he said. “I value the miniature King Ed ward sent me. after I became president, of John Hampden. "That was a present a sovereign could make with dignity and one a Democratic president could accept. All historians and royalists agree that Hampden was a good man. The king must have known that Hampden was one of my four he roes— Tlmoleon, Hampden, Washington and Lincoln. Such a selection as the miniature showed extreme tact. I “I have a personal feeling about the king's death. I know from having been president that he had an earnest'desire to keep the relations between Great Britain and the United States on the closest and the most friendly terms. King Edward's death removes one influence that touched strongly for peace and jus tice in international relations. His own people and other lands mu Mt feel that loss.” SPEND A QUIET DAY. Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a com paratively quiet day in the company of the crown prince and princess. King Gustave being at present in the south of France, and in the evening were the guests of honor at a dinner given by the citizens. In a laudatory speech at this dinner. Premier Lindman said: “We are glad to welcome the foremost citizen of the gerat republic, to which Sweden has gent so many loyal citi zens." After referring to the former president s efforts towards world peace and the con servation of national resources, as well as his endeavor morally to uplift his fel low countrymen the premier continued: "Your motto. Colonel Roosevelt, has been honesty, justice and good character in every citizen. You have sought to promote self-reliance and foster such a spirit in the nation that the stronger would help the weaker when the weaker was in need and deserved it. and the manner In which you have worked to these ends has made your name respected and honored throughout the world.” PROPOSES SILENT TOAST. Colonel Roosevelt, with the consent of the presiding officer, proposed a silent toast as a mark of syrhpathy to the British people In the loss of a king who was devoted to the welfare of the people and of hurrfanity. Some 400 men and worsen of distinction, from all parts of Sweden, took part in the dinner, which was a subscription affair. Some of them traveled many hundreds of miles to be present. Not less than 1.- 600 applications for seats had to be re jected. In his toast to the former president, Premier Llndmann coupled Mrs. Roose velt's name with the colonel’s as a true wife who had contributed to her hus band's success at every step. FAMILY FOOD Crisp, Toothsome and Re quires No Cooking A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape- Nuts food had helped their family. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention in Charlotte, where she visited. . “While I was there I used the food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home I began using Grape-Nuts in the family regularly. • "My little IS-months-old baby shortly alter being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick, nine weeks and we tried everything. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. ’Well, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improve ment set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible and on Grape-Nuts. “Sometime ago several of the family were stricken with La Grippe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, every thing else nauseating us “We all appreciate what your famous food has done for our family."

BAPTIST GONVENTITIN TO MEET IN BALTIMORE Sessions Open Wednesday. 2,000,000 Southern Mem bers Represented (By Associated Press). BALTIMORE. Md., May 9.-The South- I ern Baptist convention representing a church membership pf 2,000.000. whicli meets in Baltimore this year, will assem ble Wednesday, the sessions lasting one week. Upward of 1,600 delegates are ex ; pected. Teh Baptist Women's Mission- I 1 ary union will meet here at the same time and after the convention adjourns the International Sunday school conven tion will assemble at Washington for a week's session. The annual conventions are concerned with the great Interests of the church at large. Questions of vital importance will be discussed—home and foreign missions, Sunday school wiork. the Layman's Mis sionary movement and the educational work of the church schools and colleges. Exceptional interest attaches to the re ports of the several boards which have ' charge of the Baptist church work at I home and in the foreign field. The for eign mission board will report that the past year has been most prosperous fi nancially and in conversions in the for eign field. The collections exceeded $50C,000 with expenditures slightly in ex cess of the receipts. For the first time in several years the home mission board will report no debt, the receipts during the past year were $350,000. This oganlzation maintains 15 1 schools among the southern mountain eers with an enrollment of 5.000 pupils It supports a staff of evangelists for city work, having more than 100 missionaries among the Osage and Pawnee Indians in I Oklahoma and during the last year spent 1 $53,000 In aiding 175 churches to build houses of worship. The home missionary • board co-operates with the negro na ' ticnal Baptist convention in the work 1 among the negroes of the south. LONDON IS IN MOURNING FOR ENGLAND’S MONARCH Continued from Page One The speaker of the house of common* and the deputy speaker being out of the country there was no one empowered to preside over the house, and imme diately upon Home Secretary Churchill’s motion the house adjourned. A great representative congregation attended service in St. Paul s, the bishop o 2 London officiating. Many Catholi. s gathered in Westminster Cathedral while special services were held in various churches throughout the country and others have been arranged for tomor row. ' • - On Monday morning the proclamation of King George's accession will be read in all the principal towns in the kingdom Trumpeters clad in scarlet and gold, and escorted by life guards will enter the city of Lonuon. and the lord mayor and aidermen in robes of office will meet them at Temple Bar. This ceremony was expected to take, place in London to day and great crowds assembled at Tem ple Bar and the royal exchange waiting there for hours only to be disappointed. Politics for the time seem to, be for gotten. The newspapers Ignore the sub ject and devote themselves entirely to eulogies and biographies of the late king. With the members of the ctAjinet scattered in England and about the con tinent, it has been impossible for the par ty in power to discuss its policy, but >t is assumed that parliament will adjourn after the budget is settled. The ceremonies in connection wdth the opening of the Anglo-Japanese exposi tion. for which Prince Fushlma, cousin of the emperor of Japan, arrived today, have been given up, as well as hundreds of other entertainments and enterprises, great and small. FOES CAUSED DEATH? There are signs already that some of the conservatives will practically accuse the liberals of responsibility for the king's death by worry brought upon him through threats of the party to call on him to swamp the lords by the creation of a host of liberal peers. The question as to whether Premier As quith should announce what advice he intended to give the king has been debat ed bitterly for some time. Only a few days ago lx>rd Knollys. secretary to the king, took pains to publish a letter in Which he told a correspondent: ••You are correct in thinking that the king deplores having his name brought Into political controversies.” The Globe in an editorial says: “The king was In constant consultation with his ministers. His holiday was euL short and had not a keen sense of publ’c duty compelled him to return to England he might still be alive and well. Those who have stirred up strife within the na tion, who would have wrecked the consti tution and who did not hesitate to at tack the crown itself in pursuance of their own ends, will now realize that they must take their share of the responsibil ity of the death of a great king. They have done their work.” BUSINESS SUSPENDED. Telegrams from the Britisu colonies over the world tell the same story of grief. Business is suspended and flags are half-masted. Church services have been held everywhere. The conservative Sunday Observer de votes four columns to arguing for a truce between the political parties on the constitutional question necessitated by the death of King Edward. If King George invites the statesmen on both sides to confer before tne prerogative of the crown is made a uirect Issue in the party light, the paper says, he will be supported by the overwhelming mass of the nation, and the nation's hand will fall heavy on those who attempt to cast out the spirit of peace and de stroy the golden promise of the provi dential hour. GEORGE IS DISCUSSED. The Observer discusses the personality of King George. It says he is practi cally unknown to the people of the United Kingdom, as he was much leso conspicuously identified with the gener al activities of society than was Edward as Prince of Wales. “On the whole,” adds the paper, “King Ceorge is better understood In other parts of the empire than at home, but his subjects in Great Britain will soon know his worth, his serious set, his pa triotism. his passion for the Imperial •ideal, the directnes and candor of his na lure, his sympathy and courage. “Owing to his self-imposed quiet role, some thought him of reactionary mind, others as unlikely to set his own impress on affairs. Both are absurd errors. Prince George was indoctrinated with the true meaning of empire during his early world tours. With all the fervor of his belief In empire, hfs majesty Is not like ly to forget that twentieth century king ship demands social service, and which Is In a special sense the monarch of she masses.” Missionary Meet Ends CHICAGO. May 6.—Today's program of the Men’s National Missionary congress brought the convention to a close. T'he attendance of delegates is said to have been 4,000. 1 INNIN COUNTY CITIZENS NAME SMITH GOVERNOR Signers of Declaration Say That Government Should Be Run for the People OCILLA, Ga., May 7.—We, the citizens of Irwin county, being in favor of a gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, and realizing the fact that there should be no government without the consent of the governed, and being opposed to a government run almost ex clusively for and in the interest of rail roads and other corporations, do hereby, in behalf of the people of the great state of Georgia, nominate Hon.

TO SUPPRESS EVERY BUCKET SHOP IN COUNTRY WASHINGTON. May fi.—The complete suppression of the "bucket shop” busi ness throughout the United States is sought by the department of Justice. Prosecutions already started are to be continued with unremitting vigilance. “We have a plan to put all the bucket shops out of business and that, too. without additional legislation by con gress,” said an official of the department today. Just what are the plans of the govern ment to accomplish this end was not stated but officials declared the state ment was not thoughtlessly made. The cleaning up work in the east al ready has been systematically begun and a number of indictments have been re turned. More are promised as a of the investigations by the local grand Jury the past few days. After the department is through with the east, op erations will he begun at Chicago ami working from that center, it expects to conduct proceedings so as to break up any business radiating from there. That feature of the traffic which in cludes the sending out of alluring liter ature is one which probably will receive the serious attention of the prosecuting officials, in which case the postal laws will be invoked as an instrumentality in its suppression.

MACON FIREMEN KILLED UNDER AUTO FIRE WAGON MACON, Ga.. May 6.—Answering the call of duty, three of Macon’s best fire men met a horrible death at an early hour this morning, being killed outright, and several others, injured when the tiro on the city’s new auto engine exploded on the way to a fire. The dead: LEE ROBERTS. C. A. MCREARY. J. E. BUFFINGTON. The Injured: Frank Hammock. W. R. Kemp. John Lutze. The auto engine was going at a ter rific rate of speed when the accident oc curred and just what caused the tire to i burst is a mystery. Little did the fire j ment expect when they were awakened ito answer the alarm that It would be ■ their last run. The injured men were rushed to the hospital. Feagan, together with eight other members of the department from head quarters, were on the engine. The run was made down Cherry street at a rapid speed and, according to Feagan's state ment this morning, one of the right tires went down, causing the swerve. At the swerve both tires exploded and the chances of turning from the poles were all gone. In a moment the car side swiped a very large pole. Ed Bluffington. one of the men on the running-board, was pasted to this pole as a' fly to a window pane. He was crushed to a pulp. HITS SECOND POLE. Drawing way from this terrible stroke the machine again swerved in time to catch the next pole on the same side of the street. Here Lee Roberts was picked off the running board, much in the same manner as was Bluffington -at the first. A third time the red monster swerved and caught the third pole squarely in front.

It landed 15 or 20 yards farther on, the railway tracks that cross Fifth street in a mass of wreckage That could go no farther. Charles A. McCrarj' was caught under the air dome of the top and crushed to ( death. I Feagan and John Parker, occupying the seats, were slightly hurt. E. M.
