“OLD HOSS" PACKAGE
IMS INFERNAL MACHINE
Two Express Company Offi
cials Badly Hurt by Explo
sion in North Carolina
By Associated Press.) j
GREENSBORO. N. C.. Aug. 10-—" ■ M.
Busbee, manager of the High Point of
fice of the Southern Express company,
was perhaps fatally injured and his
cashier. L. C, Morton, badly hurt today
when a package which they were hand
ling exploded with terrific force. The
package, which was about to be consign
ed to the ’ old hoss” heap, proved to be
an infernal machine, of rather crude
though ingenious construction.
The package is desert led as an ordinary
looking box of thin veneer, bronzed with
copper. 15 inches square and set inside
a heavy green painted wooden box. To
the inner box a small door was attached,
this being secured by a leather hinge.
When the expressmen opened the inside
door a match was ignited, this lighting
a fuse which set off the explosive. The
device was so arranged that had the
rough edge to the door failed to ignite
the match a buckle attached to the
leather hinge would have brought a
•park.
The package had been in the office
for several months. It was addressed
to Charles Hoover, High Point. N. C-»
and was shipped from Thomasville, about
night miles distant. No one by that
name could be found in High Point, so
ioday Manager Busbee undertook to ex
amine the queer package.
At Thomasville. however. Charles
Hooper is postmaster, a manufacturer
and influential as a politician and busi
ness man. The theory of the police
is that the sender at Thomasville be
lieved the package would be returned
to Thomasville from High Point and ul
timately delivered to Mr. Hooper. Mr.
Hooper Is said to have given a valuable
clue to the police and an arrest is ex
pected at any time.
Manager Busbee was brought to a
local hosiptal late tonight and it is said
his condition is critical. He is badly
burned about the face and chest. Mr.
Morton was badly, though it is not be
lieved. fatally hurt.

JUDGE JONES IS HOOTED
BT BLEASE SUPPORTERS
Cries of “Shut Up; Sit Down
and Leave Blease Alonel”
Greet Him
(By Staff Correspondent.)
' UNION. 8. C., Aug. 10.—A crowd in
which Blease supporters predominated,
but not overwhelmingly, made Judge
Jones' speech at the campaign here today
a continuous struggle with their cat-calls
and interruptions.
Cries of “sit down." “shut up.” let
1 Blease alone,” were hurled at him, in
| terspersed with hoots and jeers of every
I description. When he was not being
interrupted with shouts, there was a
steady hum of conversation among the
crowd that drowned his voice except Vor
persons standing near the platform. The
chairman. Mcßeth Young, and Mayor
T. C. Duncan pleaded for order tn vain.
Judge Jones, however, refused to be
howled down and proceeded to the end
of his speech. He was then presented
with flowers from his admirers, and
attempted to make a speech of thanks
but the howls of the crowd prevented
him A number of howlers were evidently
under the influence of liquor.
Governor Blease charged that Judge
Jones invited the howling by bidding for
the crowd to insult him. and by trying
to insult the Blease men in order that
the papers might say that a crowd of
Blease supporters refused to hear Judge
Jones.
DISORDERLY MEETING.
The meeting was the most disorderly
one of the week, and the only occasion
during that period when there has been
anything like a persistent effort to
howl down Judge Jones.
With the exception of feature of dis
order. the speaking here was colorless
and featureless. Judge Jones made
very little reference to Governor Blease
saying that for one day he wanted the
campaign to be raised above slime and
mud slinging.
He declared he wanted to see a con
structive policy of legislation put
through in the state which would in
clude the enlargement of rural schools,
the building of good roads, an employ
ers' liability act for the benefit of in
dustrial workers, and liberal pensions
for confederate veterans and their wid
ows.
He prodded the governor for threat
ening Charleston with injunctions and
metropolitan police in ease that city
voted for Jones and for saying that he
would make the Jones men sweat blood
between now and January in case he
should be defeated.
GREAT BULLDOZER.
"He's the great bulldoser of state,”
declared the judge.
This city being the home of Judge W.
H. Wallace, Judge Jones replying to the
governor's criticism of him for voting
against Mr. Wallace for a circuit judge
ship, said: “I did vote against Judge
Wallace, but I voted for D. A. Townsend,
of this city, whose son, B. F. Townsend,
is now doubtless working against me."
Judge Jones also called attention to
Governor Blease’s commutation of im
prisonment sentence of Cardoza Hamp
ton, of this county, convicted of violating
the dispensary law to a fine. He said
Hampton was the worst blind tiger in
the state.
BLEASE READS LETTER.
Governor Blease read a letter from J.
T. Willard, a real estate dealer, of Spar
tanburg. he stated Mr. Willard had writ
ten to a kinsman. Mr. Willard told his
kinsman, according to the letter, that
Blease was charged with gambling and
drinking and couldn't answer the charges
and that church people could not afford
to support him.
“When the campaign is over.” de
clared the governor, “I am going to
make Mr. Willard answer these charges
against me in the' courts.”
To a member of crowd who cheered
at the mention of Senator Tillman's
name, the governor said: “Tillman
must be your daddy, you are such a
good Tillmanite.”
Governor Blease was presented with
a silver urn and a wreath of flowers
by his Union county supporters. He
took a hand primary which showed that
his followers were massed almost sol
idly around the stand and predominat
ed in the crowd. A large number of
people about the outskirts of crowd,
i however, did not hold ho their hands.
I Lowndes J. Browning or this county,
i member of legislature and one of Gov
ernor Blease’s bitter political enemies,
was on the platform during the gover
■ nore speech. The governor, however,
made no reference to him.
B. B- Evans, replying to Attorney
General Lyon's staatement yesterday
that h® would have Mr. Evans ar
rested for slander, declared that ro
sort to the courts in a slander case
was the part of a coward.
“Why, all I want.” said Mr. Evans,
“is a good hickory stick to defend my
character. If the attorney general
jumps on me I’ll show that he has
> appropriated money belonging to the
state to his own use. If he has me
, indicted for slander I'll have him in-
dicted for pilfering.”
Mr. Lyon declared that his purpose
in prosecuting Mr. Evans for slander
was to try to redeem the state cam
! paign from the mud slinging contest
into which it had degenerated.
“If I can eliminate the slanderer
I from the campaign by this statute
against slander.” said Mr. Lyon,” I nm
sure that I will render the state a
’ great service.”
“When Mr. Evans gets ready to use
his hickory stick let him come on
and there will be less hair on his
, head than there is now when he gets
, through.” ,

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1912.
A RAILROAD LEARNING AND
TEACHING A COSTLY LESSON
“Money talks," is a popular prov
erb, and what it says sometimes
sheds light on moral issues; at least,
when the business world condemns a
thing as wrong for business reasons,
there is a certain class of minds
thereby made more open to accept
the teaching of moralists who con
. damn it for ethical reasons.
A recent order of the authorities
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railway forbidding liquor
drinking and card-playing by the op
eratives of that corporation is very
interesting and instructive in the
light of /he foregoing observations.
As is well known, there was a
horrible wreck on this line at Corn
ing, N. Y., some days ago, and as the
result of an investigation of that
death-dealing wreck the new order
was issued barring drink and cards
and threatening with dismissal em
ployes who indulge in the dissipa
tions of the saloon and the card
table.
Commenting upon the new order
the New York Herald prints an edi
torial, under the caption “A Railroad
Learns a Costly Lesson,” in which
the editor says:
“The Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad has deter
mined to take no more chances
with intoxicated men in the op
eration of its trains. The dis
covery that the death-dealing
wreck at Corning. N. Y., on July
4 was due to the intoxication of
an engine driver has convinced
the management that the use of
intoxicants by employes connect
ed with the movement of trains
at any time is a bad thing, and
the like of the Corning wreck is
not to be repeated if the pro
mulgation of rules will prevent
it
“ 'The use of intoxicants by
employes while on duty is pro
hibited' is a general rule among
railroads, but the Lackawanna
amends this as follows: 'The use
of intoxicants while on or off
duty, or the visiting of saloons
or places where liquor is sold,
incapacitates men from railroad
service and is absolutely prohib
ited.’ Not only that, but the men
must avoid other dissipations
while off duty, such as card play
ing.
“Such rules may be considered
drastic, but hardly too much so
for the government of men who
have the lives of thousands of
persons in their hands. More
of the recent railroad disasters
have been due to shortcomings
of employes than to the excess
ive speed of trains. But the im
portance of holding trains to a
reasonable speed should not be
lost sight of.”
This seems to be pretty drastic
prohibition by a railway corporation,
and the question naturally arises. If

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MOULTRIE, Ga., Aug. 9.—This city has
one woman among its residents who is a
past master at the art of politics. She
is not a suffragette but is just a woman
who is interested in the success of her
brother in politics. She is Mrs. Frances
Rawls, and her brother is John H. Mc-
Gehee, who is out after the position of
railroad commissioner.
Mrs. Rawls is the manager of one of
the leading stores of this city and she is
conducting a real quiet campaign for her
brother for the office to which he as
pires. Mrs. Rawls is well known and
is popular and the votes she lands for
her brother will be a great many. She
tells al! her men friends about John
being in the race and if things keep up
as they are going nqw it would not be at
all surprising if McGehee carried Colquitt

MRS. LYDIA ROCKWELL
DIES AT AGE OF 106
BOSTON, Aug. 9. —Mrs. Lydia A.
Rockwell, who Is dead at the age of

fisherwoman. She landed her last large
trout on her 104th birthday while fish

a railroad can enforce prohibition
over its employes, can not a great
commonwealth make prohibition pro
hibit, if its exeeutive officers, from
governor to constables, will do their
duty fearlessly and faithfully. It is
positively disgraceful for a great
state to stand in shivering helpless
ness in the presence of a great evil
which it has formally outlawed, and
confess that its laws may be defied
with Impnity and its sovereignty de
spised contemptuously.
Does any sane man belltve that
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad would stop to trifle and
temporize with an employe who vio
lated its rule in order that it might
inquire if he was intoxicated with
rye whiskey or "near beer?" When
a liquor intoxicates, it is the merest
child's play to investigate how near
it is to beer. Georgia, for example,
intended that her prohibition law
should stop drunkennes in the state.
That statute was not designed to
put distillers out of business and
give brewers a monopoly. When
will the politicians cease their hair
splitting nonsense on this subject,
and deal with 'this qestlon coura
geously, honestly, and resolutely? We
have had quite enough of their duck
ing and dodging—a surfeit of their
straining and straddling.
THE NEW YORK HERALD avers
that the Delaware, Lackawanna, and
Western Rail Road has learned "a
costly lesson.” Has not our country
had this same lesson forced upon It
without incurring the necessity of
acquiring it at further cost? A
drunken engineer may bring on an
accident by which a score of lives
may be lost; but drunken men in
the highways murder more every day.
Have we not run up already a huge
cost of crime,, pauperism, and in
sanity by allowing saloon-keepers,
brewers, and distillers to capitalize
for their profit the temptability of
millions of weak men and women in
in our land? When will we learn our
lesson, and begin to suppress this
evil with a hand as resolute as that
of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and
Western Rail Road?
Another thing: Why did not this
railway extend its prohibition to its
higher officials, as well as to its en
gineers, conductors and other opera
tives? A drunken president of a
railway may do as much harm as a
drunken engineer. It would be inter
esting If we could ascertain how many
needless and costly strikes might have
been averted if presidents and other
high officials had not brought to the
settlement of such issues brains mud
dled and nerves irritated by intoxi
cating liquors.
Men in high place can not enforce
with good grace over underlings
prohibitory regulations to which they
refuse to subject themselves. When
what are called the “upper classes"
of society lament the dissipation of
what are called the "lower classes,"
let them be well assured that their

talk Is something worse than use
less unless their own Ilves conform
to the temperance which they preach
to men whom they consider below
them in tHe social scale. A wine-
Dibber, talking temperance to his em
ployes, is nothing less than a con
temptible and supercilious hypocrite.
Another part of this railway’s
new order deserves attentive consid
eration. It associates card-playing
and liquor-drinking in a common
condemnation as dissipations equal
ly unfriendly to the efficiency and
reliability of an engineer or other
operative. There seems to be no
hesitation upon the part of the rail
way officials in thus classifying
card-playing with liquor-drinking;
and the public is not surprised at
the classification nor does it dissent
from the condemnation of cards and
drinks as associated evils. And yet
some men and women calling them
selves Christians declare that they
are unable to see any harm in card
playing. Let all such ask why this
“soulless corporation,” after a care
ful investigation, put cards under
ban as well as drinks. Why was
not lawn-tennis included in the
condemnation?
There are certain diversions which
have become infected with immoral
tendences and are past the possi
bility of ever being cleansed. Card
playing is one of them. However
innocent it may seem in the abstract,
as a matter of fact It engenders
gambling and draws after it other
immoralities. Candid people of in
telligence and of even moderate ob
servation will not deny this fact.
.The Idle women who are addicted
to “bridge” and the like, are ef
fective agents for recruiting the
ranks of gamblers themselves.
In a ministry of above thirty
years I have tried to rescue fallen
men and women, and I have dealt
with the cases of not a few of them.
Many, *very many, of them have
told me that in their own childhood
homes they took their first lesson in
gambling and drinking with cards
and wines offered by the hands of
worldly mothers. What a profana
tion of motherhood is that which de
moralizes its own offspring! It may
be after all that we should not de
preciate too much the fact that cer
tain classes have few or no children.
Handling poodles and pet monkeys
is not so bad as tainting a child’s
life by the touch of worldly and
wicked hands.
A woman possessed with a mania
for card-playing is no better quali
fied for conducting a child over the
perilous journey of childhood and
youth than a card-playing engineer
is qualified to run an engine over a
railway track. Both the card-play
ing mother and the card-playing en
gineer make wrecks —and the wrecks
made by the former are more tragic
than those made by the latter. Who
shall say what sorrow and death
both have brought to pass!

Paris Takes Works
Os British Artists
Refused by London
LONDON. Aug. 10. —The trustees of
the national gallery have just given an
other striking proof of the disadvan
tages conected with the present system
of administration of our national muse
ums. Mr. Edmund Davis, one of the
most enlightened judges and collectors
of modern art, whose house is a very
museum in which he has collected the
finest available examples of modern
British paintings, has generously offered
to present to the Tate gallery about
eighty pictures by eminent artists who
are not so far represented at what is
proudly called the "National Gallery of
British Art.”
Among these pictures, we understand,
are admirable works by such artists of
European fame as Messrs. James Pryde,
Willaim Nicholson, William Orpen, Guy
Philpot, Charles Shannon, Charles Rick
etts, Philip Connard, and others of equal
standing—artists all who belong to the
independent group that stands in the
very front rank of modern. British
achievement, and without whom no gal
lery of modern British art can be con
sidered to be truly representative.
The trustees of the national gallery
have once more abused the power vested
in them, and have actually refused to
accept the gift so generously tendered
to the nation. They evidently prefer,
in accordance with a time-honored cus
tom, to wait until they will have to
disburse many thousands of dollars of
public money to obtain what they coulci
now get for nothing.
Mr. Edmund Davis, disgusted with
this attitude of the national gallery trus
tees, made the same offer to the admin
istration of the in Paris,
with the result that fifteen pictures were
immediately accepted, and that the di
rector of the Luxembourg is coming
ever to London specially to inspect, and
make a further selection from the re
maining pictures. Arrangements have
also been made for a special new room
to be built for the housing of these
British paintings.
The action of the national gallery
trustees is absolutely inexplicable, un
less it is to be accounted for by the fact
that the fate of the Tate gallery—
which is a gallery of modern art —is
ruled by a body of men whose taste
lies entirely with the old masters and
who are hopelessly out of sympathy
with the vital artistic movement of
their own time.
FARMERS ARE ANXIOUS
FOR COTTON WORM CURE
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ALBANY, Ga., Aug. 9. —Following
the publication of the news that State
Entomologist E. L. Worsham and Sec
retary Eugene B. Adams, of the Albany
Chamber of Commerce, ha,d made ar
rangements to store arsenate of lead
here in large quantities, and sell it at
about half the regular price to farmers
when the cotton caterpillar strikes thisj
section, the office phone of Secretary 1
Adams was busy today answering in
quiries from all over Southwest Geor
gia. It seems that the farmers are
booming alive o the threatened detrac
tion of possibly 50 per cent, or .more
of their cotton crop, and are anxious
to be prepared for the insect pest when
it arrives.
