“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. DARBY SENTENCED FOR WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY. Ala..

A Ky. lady, speaking about about food, says: “I was accustomed to eat ing all kin is of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nerv ous prostration set in. “After I had run down seriously my attentiOQ was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I discon tinued my ordinary breakfast and be gan using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. “In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way. and I began to have a strength that I had never been pos sessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that a maxed me. It was entirely new in my experience. “My former attacks of indigestion bad been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was dis tressing with blind spells of dizsiness. rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. “Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quan tity. then I wculd be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and un less I heeded the warning the old trou ble would come back, but when I final ly got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape- Nuts and cream and the pain and dis turbance left very quickly. “I am now in prime healtn as a re sult of my use of Grape-Nuts ” Name given by Postum Co..

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.” , RAINEY WANTS TO KNOW HOW U. S. GOT PANAMA t I (By Associated Preu.) WASHINGTON, Aug. lO.—Represen tative Rainey of Illinois is seeking ' from the house committee on foreign affairs opportunity to continue the in vestigation of the acquisition of the Panama Canal zone during the recess of congress.

' Amendments in various forms io pro . vide national aid for states which have appropriated for road improvement were discussed. 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 SISTER OF M’GEHEE HELPS BROTHER’S RACE (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 county. textilTindustry - SHOWS IMPROVEMENT (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Aug. 9.—That the textile Industry of the south is in a nourishing state after four years of depression since 1907-08 is indicated by statistics just issued in a directory of Southern Cotton Mill facts, which shows that at the present time but 31 of the 768 cotton mills in the south are stand ing idle. A year ago 100 cotton mills in the south were idle, most of them on account of the general condition of the trade, with few exceptions, the mills tiat are idle this year are affected by local conditions, and are not shut down for want of orders. UPSON COUNTY GAINS IN TAX RETURNS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) THOMASTON, Ga.. Aug. 9.—Tax Re ceiver L. M.

There are 1,100 polls and the real estate totals over >1.900,000. There is but little opposition to the present road law, the majority of the people realizing that they get more value received for road taxes direct than any other tax paid. NEW JERSEY SAGES MAKE WAR_ON MOSQUITOES (By Associated Press.) EAST ORANGE, N. J„ Aug. 9.—The Essex county mosquito extermination commission is preparing to start the cultivation of a plant called ocimum vlrlde, which is said to be abhorrent to mosquitoes. According to the commit teemen the merest sprig of the plant will banish all mosquitoes from a room or porch. The plant is believed not to be harmful to human beings. WESTERN UNION WILL ERECT NEW YORK HOME 'By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Preliminary plans have been filed for a new 28-story building for the Western Union Tele graph company. The building is to be erected on the site of the present struc ture at 195 Broadway. The plans show that there will be 21 elevators and that the cost of the build ing will be >4,000, -jO. MRS. LYDIA ROCKWELL DIES AT AGE OF 106 BOSTON, Aug. 9. —Mrs. Lydia A. Rockwell, who Is dead at the age of 108 years at her home in Hyde Park, was, until two years ago. an expert fisherwoman. She landed her last large trout on her 104th birthday while fish ing with a party of friends in Maine. 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 Enterprising Newsies Make a Suicide Story (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ST. PAUL, Aug. 10.—" I fail to see the joke,” said Assistant Police Chief Martin Flannagan today when he learned that a hat, coat and note of a supposed suicide found on the High Bridge early this morning had been placed there as a iieax by newsboys. “If the guilty persons are found, 1 will make an example of them," he added. The note said the author had lost his money in real estate, that he was tired of life, that he had lived on Dayton’s | bluff for 15 years and closed with a request for the care of his children, Maude and Little Lucille. It was not signed. The police scoured the Dayton’s bluff district in an effort to locate the man’s home and family before' learn ing that it was all hoax. $25,000 IN JEWELS IS SAVED FROM HOTEL ASHES (By Associated Press.)

CANDLER 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! WALKER AND PARKER SPEAK AT OCILLA especial Dispatch to The Journal.) OCILLA, Ga., Aug. 9.—About 400 voters packed the court house at 11 o’clock yes terday morning to hear the debate be tween Col. Ramdal J. Walker and Judge T. A.

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.

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.
