8 THE ATLANTA SEMJ-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1913. LOTS OF CASH TO SPE! IS FAIL US OEATH COMES TO LIFE STORY IS TOLD Old Bill Miner’s Own Life Story For Fifty-Two Years Old Bill Miner, Pal of Jesse James and Other Famous Bandits, Blazed a Trail of Robbery from California to Georgia Retail and Wholesale Mer-i Noted Outlaw' Dies at Prison chants, Real Estate Opera- Farm, Shackled to the Last, tors and Bankers All Agree j and His Wild Career Is Re- Prosperity Era Has Begun vealed to the World Every influence is shaping: toward, an unprecedented era of good times, declare Atlanta retail and wholesale merchants, real estate men and bankers, in inter views given The Journal Tuesday. Heavy, crops, a brisk demand for raw material and. a consequent insuring of good prices, and an abundant supply of money for legitimate business have made business men more optimistic than i or many years. Prosperity will be nation-wide. Of all the sections of the country the south probably will receive the greatest bene fits, and of the south Atlanta will feel the effect of the time's to a greater extent, proportionate to its size than any other city. The leading wholesalers of Atlanta are no less optimistic of the business out look for the fall and winter than the retail merchants. With one aCcord they agree that an era of prosperity is open ing for Georgia that will mafk this year as one of the greatest commercially and financially in the history of the state. What Atlantav Bankers Say of Business Outlook Atlanta bankers are decidedly optim istic over the prosperity outlook, not only for Georgia and the south general ly, but the whole country as well. The practical certainty of good crops in this section, together with the pros pect of a short cotton crop in Texas, means goods times for southern farm ers The crop-moving deposits of $50,000 by the United States treasury have im parted more confldence among farmers arc' business men, and Atlanta bankers arc. agreed that the benefits derived from these deposits will be great. Speaking of the outlook, Frank Hawkins, president of the Third Na tional bank, said: “All indications point to splendid crops east of the Mississippi river. I believe the com crop will be the best in years. The cotton crop will be large, and the short crop in Texas means that southern farmers will get a good price for their cotton. I figure that Georgia will make 2,500.000 bales. Good crops and good prices are obliged to mean good times. “But we shouldn’t allow this prosper ity to make us extravagant. That’s one great trouble with our southern people. e spend too much. We indulge in too many luxuries and don’t practice econ omy like we ought to. If the people in the south will add economy to this year's prosperity, then they’H get ahead. They’ll have a margin to tide over a bad -year if the crops shouldn’t be so good next year. “As to the government’s crop-moving deposits, I think they will do good. They ought to help the financial situa tion generally. They will enable soutn- ern banks to get money without going to New York, and of course that re lieves the strain on New York banks.” W. J. Blalock, president of the Fulton National bank, is equally pleased with the outlook, and equally confident that Georgia and the south will reap a rich harvest this year. He said: “I was on a plantation in south Georgia last week, and it seemed to me that I never saw so much cotton in one place in my life. I look for *a bumper crop. The shortage in Texas, ■while it is unfortunate for farmers in that state, means that our farmers will command a high price for their product. My opinion of the government’s crop- moving deposits is that there ought to have been more. But I’m not criticising the treasury’s action. I think the mon ey distributed throughout the south and west will be a big help. If we need more, maybe we can get it, and if the government takes similar action in the future it would not surprise me to see the amount greatly increased.”, John K. Ottley, vice president of the Fourth National bank: “We are ex pecting good trade conditions during the fall and winter. Business in Georgia and the south is, of course, predicted in the main on the cotton crop. The prospects for a good crop now are ex cellent. and as a result the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer and the banker are greatly pleased and encour aged at the oqtlook. “The plan of the government to place $50,000,000 on deposit in the south and west to aid in moving the crops of these sections has done a great deal to ease conditions and dispel' apprehen sion. If the government finds that the deposits which it has allotted to the various states are inadequate and in sufficient. as they are said to be in some states, it will doubtless increase these deposits. TVe look for a better trade this fall, with more money in cir culation than has been the case during the past two or three years.” CHARLES E. CURRIER. Charles E. Currier, president of the Atlanta National bank: “Prospects for good business are quite bright. The in dications now are that Georgia will produce a good cotton crop and that it will bring remunerative prices. The farmers have observed economy in the production of their crops this year, and consequently are not as deeply in debt as they have been in some years during the past. They will be able to pay up their accounts with the merchants, and the merchants in turn will be able to settle with the banks. **T look for good business in every line of industry. The tariff and cur rency legislation now in course of con struction in the national congress has not caused as much uneasiness in the Like a child dropping to sleep, “Old Bill’’ Miner died Tuesday night at 9:25 o’clock at the state prison farm, at Milledgeville, Ga., where he was serving a twenty-year sentence for train rob bery. After his death the warden of the state farm made public a brief statement which was confided to him three weeks ago by “Old Bill,” when the latter was first taken sick. “Bill,” at this time, said that his real name was George Anderson, and that his home was California, where he was born of fairly well?to-do parents. In the old days, he said, he had been a member of the Jesse James gang. The only relative whose name he mentioned is a sister, Mrs. W. J. Gilmer, who was living, when he last heard of at Bellingham Bay, Vancouver. Whether she is still alive is a fact un known. A ROBBER FROM YOUTH. “Old Bill,” in the statement which he made three weeks ago to the warden, said that he was seventy-one years old, and that his life, from his early youth, had been devoted to robbery. But throughout that time he had killed no man, altncugh the Jesse James gang, of which he was a member, had been less tender. And all the while, he contin ued, speaking w r ith the sincerity of a m n who knows that he is dying, he had maintained a code of honor pecu liar to himself, but no less exacting for that reason. He avoided violent crimes, he robbed corporations rather than individuals, and be believed in alternating charity with robbery. But he put his faith in no religion. Even at the time of his brief statement to the warden, he asked that no preacher be allowed to see him, and that religion should have no place at his death bed. He simply asked the privilege of dying quietly. And his death was like a child dropping to sleep. APPROPRIATIONS BILL HAS SUM FOR REFUGEES As Proposed by Committee to House, Bill Carries $100,000 for Mexic Refugees. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.t~-Eli mi nation of the commeerc court, an appropriation of $100,000 for relief of American refugees in Mexico, and $300,000 to start the interstate commerce commis sion’s physical valuation of railroads, feature the general deficiency appropri ation bill reported to the house today by the appropriations committee.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) DALTON, Ga., Sept. 4.—The death of Miss Sarah Cook, at her home in Mount Pleasant last week, left only one heir to the small estate left to the three Cook sisters in Hall county; Miss Mar garet Cook, the only surviving heir, came here yesterday to make her claim to the estate, having seen in a news paper a notice that a search was be ing made for the three sisters who left Gainesville forty years ago. CHILD LABOR LAW GOES INTO EFFECT IN MASS. (By Associated Press.) BOSTON, Sept. 4.—Thousands of “children of the mills” were thrown out of work today by the operation of a new state law which prohibits the employ ment of any child under fourteen years tn a workshop and provides that no child uner sixteen years shall work more than eight hours a day or more than forty-eight hours a week. Fifty thousand employers are affected by the change. AMERICAN ACQUITTED BY VENEZUELAN COURT WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Stuart Mudge, the American youth who was tried in Imataca, Venezuela, on a tech nical charge kof murder, was acquitted, according to a dispatch received at the state department today. Mudge was en gaged in an athletic game with a Vene zuelan youth when the latter received fatal injuries. The American legation at Caracas appointed an agent to see that Mudge had a fair and impartial tril and his acquittal was expected by officials here. south as it has in the north and east, owing to the fact that this section is not engaged so extensively in manu facturing. However, with the early and final settlement, of the tariff and curency problems, I believe the entire country will soon readjust itself to the new conditions and that general busi ness will be good.” Colonel W. L. Peel, president of the American National bank: “The outlook for a good cotton crop and the arrange ment made by the government to sup ply funds to properly move the crop has already had an appreciable effect upon business conditions. “If the cotton crop escapes a Septem ber drouth, it will be one of the best produced in several years. The pros pects are that, it will bring a good price. This will result in an added impetus to all lines of trade. The farmers will be able to meet their obli gations and will have a cash surplus. There is every reason for the business man to face the future with optimism and encouragement.” MEXIC MISSIONARIES FROM SOUTH RETURN • | (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Sept. 3.— Nobody in all the history of America has a more notable carer than Old Bill Minor, who died at the state peniten tiary here Tuesday night at 9:25 o’clock. The full story of his life, told by Bill Miner as death approached, which has just been gained by The Journal correspondent, is one that would thrill the most unimaginative and fill page after page of the most adventurous stories ever promised by writers of fic tion. When the grizzled old robber, ema ciated and worn with long experience of lawlessnes, passed away in peace here, idolized by hundreds because he posed as chief of robbers and classed him self as a gentleman and scholar, none of them ever dreamed the true story of his long life. He was born in Jackson county, Ky., in 1847, and there he led tlie wild free life of that section at that time. Throughout the width and breadth of the state George Anderson was known before he was fifteen years, old. Shortly afterwards he started west and four years later was rounded up for robbery in San Joaquin county. April 5, 1866, when but nineteen years old. I-le was sentenced to San Joaquin prison, where he was known as prisoner No. 3248. He WSs discharged June 9 of the same year, but July 12 he was sent up from Placer county for a few months, which he served as No. 3313. He was discharged, only to be sent up from Calveras county, June 20, 1871, as No.4902, but a new trial was grant HOKE SMITH PROTESTS COTTON BALE RULING WILSON TALAS TARIFF Senator and Colleagues Believe That Penalty Will Come From Farmers' Pockets BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Senator Hoke Smith and several his col leagues from the south will protest to the interstate commerce commision this afternon against a recent regulation of the railroads of the south with refer ence to the size and density of cotton bales. The regulation became effective September 1, and penalizes all cotton at one dollar a bale that does not meet the arbitrary requirements of the rail roads. This penalty, it is claimed, will come out of the pocket of the farmers, and in some states will be consider able. The railroads contend that the reg ulation is both reasonable and desir able. Its purpose, they say, is to bring about a uniform bale of cotton, which will facilitate its handling and ship ments. They claim that the ginners of the south were given ample notice of Majority Leader Declares They Hope to Dispose of House-Senate Differences (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Majority Leader Underwood was at the White House to talk tariff with President Wilson today. “We hope to dispose of the differences j between house and senate in conference in less than two weeks,” said Mr. Under wood. “I am not disposed to fight the senate for the purpose of maintaining all the house provisions. There are no differences of principle involved. I believe the senate has cut too much revenue from the bill, and if I can con vince the conferees that my estimates are correct, I think the senate will be willing to put some of the revenue back.” Senator Simmons, chairman of the | ed him and he was taken back February 9, 1872, and returned March 30, 1872, as No. 5206. He tried to escape May 7, 1874, and had four years added to his time, but March 5. 1877 his sentence was com muted to twelve years and he was dis charged July 14, 1880. REAL ACTIVITIES. It was at this juncture Bill Miner began his real activities. Meeting up with Sill Leroy, most noted of west ern bandits at that time, he formed a partnership with him, going upder the name of W. A. Morgan. A month later they robbed the Del Noy stage coach of $3,500. Posses pursued them. Leroy was captured and lynened, but Bill Miner escaped safely, after shoot ing up the posse, but only slightly wounding- a few of the members. A little later he was caugnt in Tuol umne county for robbery and sent up for twenty-five years, going back to ©an Quentin as No. 10191. He started work December 21, 1881, and emerged from prison July 17, 1901. DARING TRAIN ROBBERIES. Although growing old and having paid a severe penalty, ho started out in his career of lawlessness with more force in every way. September 23, 1903, he held up a train near Puget Sound on the Canadian side, having two confederates on the job. a ney robbed all the passengers, looted the express cars and secured a Dig haul, but all the robbers were casght except Bill Miner.

I Two Thousand Attend 1 ’Cue of Alabama Man Who Is 106 Years Old GAYNOR’S SUPPORTERS NOMINATE HIM MAYOR NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Supporters of Mayor Gaynor organized an unusual demonstration in his behalf when pa- raders were formed in many parts of the city to converge at noon in the City hall plaza to hear Mayor Gaynor give his answer to the proposal that he seek re-election thie tall on a wholly inde pendent ticket to compete against fusion and Tammany candidates. Jt was well understood that the may or’s answer would be “yes,” for he al ready has said as much, but it was ex- j pected the many thousands of his friends would be on hand to hear him say so formally. Jacob H. Schiff, Her man Kidder and R. Ross Appleton were chosen to notify the mayor that he had been nominated on his own ticket, these addresses and the mayor’s reply being arranged for the open air from the city hall steps.

With his two aides he held up a train at Mission Junction, British Columbia, September 10, 1904, and se cured $10,000 in gold. The govern- mi t and express authorities became frenzied at his daring robberies and the dominion government offered $o,oou reward for him, while the express com pany offered a similar sum and the province of British Columbia aug mented it by $2,500 more, making t*.e total $12,500 to be paid for “Old Bill” Miner, alive or dead. But the redoubta~-o old fellow laughed at their attempts to corner him. He roamed \the wilds of the coun try until May 9, 1906, when he asso ciated himself with Louis Colquhon and Tom Dunn and held up an express tra. at Furrer, British Columbia. They made the engineer uncouple and pull the car a mile away, but to the “disgust of “Old Bill” he found only registered mail, the express money being left in another car. He abandoned the rob bery. A PRICE ON HIS HEAD. However, the big rewards were still in effect and the Canadian constabulary took up the trail and rounded up Bill Miner and his two_ partners and they were given life sentences in the New Westminister penitentiary in# British Columbia. But Old Bill kept up his spirit and August 9, 1907, he dug his way under the prison walls to liberty and traveled to the middle west unharmed. For a period he was quiet, with plenty to live on, but after his hoard was used up win tering in the south he started north and an opportune time seemed to pre sent itself on February 27, 1909, when he found two novices at Gainesville, Ga., and robbed the Southern Express train. But he was captured and sent to the state penitentiary at Milledgeville un- d*?r twenty-year sentence. Grizzled, old and gray, he was still undaunted and declared he would es cape, and this he did on two occasions with which the reading public is fa miliar. Through all his career of crime he was known to the officials as Bill Miner, though his real name was George An* derson, but as W. A. Morgan and George W.

R. C. Elliott. They will sail for the states tomorrow. The ladies stationed at San Luis Po- tosi, Misses Ellen Alster, Charley May Cunningham, and Fannie B. Maling have reached Tampico and may wait there under the protection of American war ships. The missionaries at Monterey, Dr. A. B. Harrison and Rev. M. E. Joyner, as well as Mips Lizzie Wilson, for twenty years in charge of a school at Chihua hua, having asked permission to remain have been sent new orders allowing them to use discretion. Rev. Joseph Thacker and family, of El Oro, have gone to Mexico City and will proceed thence to the coast. The board has heard nothing from the missionaries at Guadalajara, Torreon and Mazatlan. Uneasiness is felt for those at Torreon, as there has been fighting there. It is feared that some accidental injury may have befallen them.

EXPORTS IN ALL ASIA THREATEN CAMP-MEETERS WITH DEATH AND ARSON Because Leaders Charge Ad mission, “Friends’.' Want to Kill Them MARION, Ky., Sept 4.—Letters threatening murder and arson, and sign ed “Friends,” are being received by members of the camp meeting commit tee at Hurricane camp grounds, near here, where a meeting is in progress. The threats followed an innovation by the committee of charging 25 cents ad mittance to the grounds at this year’s annual meeting, admittance formerly having been free. Letters received by J. T. Terry, chair man of the committee, state that unless this new custom is abandoned members of the committee will be killed and the tabernacle burned. The warnings thus far have been ignored by the committee. Trade With Flowery Kingdom Greater Than With Any ' Asiatic Country (By AMOcriated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—In spite of the flurry with Japanese ovjr the pass age of the alien land bill, the exports to Japan in the fiscal year Just ended were greater than those to all Other coun tries of Asia combined. This statement was made today by the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce, which fur nished detailed figures, to substantiate the declaration. The statistics disclose that the exports from this country to Japan last year were larger than ever before. The value of the exports to the Flow ery Kingdom were estimated at $67,741,- 815, while the value of American goods sent to all other Asiatic countries was more than $400,000 below that total. It is added that the total amount sold to Japan does not include the value of American goods going into Korea and Japanese leased territory in China. Nearly $2,000,000 additional would be added to the credit of the Japanese trade, if the business done with those markets was included. The trade with Japan is not one sided, however, for the United States bought of that country in the fiscal year goods to the amount of $91,500,000, which is a big increase over the amount purchased in the previous year. While raw cotton was the largest item ex ported to the island empire, the princi pal purchases made by this country from Japan were silk, tea, mattings straw braids, rice and copper. VAIN EFFORT TO SAVE BOY’S LIFE FROM FUMES WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—With the death of V. C. Cross, a seventeen-year- old apprentice to an engineer in the Naval Medical School hospital, there came to light today a story of heroism that is to be called to the attention of the secretary ot the navy. The cen tral figure is Albert Bauman, an assist ant engineer at the hospital, who risked his life last Friday night in rescuing young Cross from deadly ammonia fumes under which he had suceumbed. Bauman and Cross were repairing some machinery in a small refrigerating plant in the basement of the hospital, when an ammonia tank burst. Calling to Cross to rush for the qpen air, Bait, man struggled up the stairs, and had reached the top when he heard Cross cry faintly ior help. Waiting only to fill his lungs with fresh air, the engineer again braved death, and finding Cross unconscious, carried him out. Hospital attendants found them both lying unconscious. Baumarl today was reported rapidly recovering from the effects of the am monia gas. He is married and the father of nine children. - We will send you a full quart of this HAYNER BOTTLED-IN-BOND WHISKEY For Only 80 Cents—Express Charges Paid N OTHING like this has ever been known—no one else offers Bottled-in-Bond whiskey at 80 cents—no one else pays the express on a one quart shipment Wewantyowrtrade, and If you have never tried Hay ner Whiskey, try it now.
