Olanta, Ga., Nov. 14.—United
ctates Senator Alexander Steph
ans Clay of Georgia died at the
Robertson sanitarium here Sun
?nv afternoon at 3 o’clock after
an extended illness.
Hi i de a h was as peaceful as
it was sudden. He had been
Liking with his son, Herbert, a
few minutes when he suddenly
ceas°d speaking and fell back
with a slight gasp.,
During the morning and after
noon the senator appeared in
better spirits than usual, the at
tending physician stating that
he was apparently recovering
from the slight relapse of Satur-
Clay came to Atlanta
from their home at Marietta in
the morning, but when she found
the senator so much improved,
returned to Marietta about noon.
The only member of the family
present at the deathbed was the
senator’s son, Herbert, who is
mayor of Marietta.
According to the physicians,
Senator Clay’s death resulted
from dilation of the heart, super
induced by arterial sclerosis.
The senator has been ill for near
ly a year and came to the sanita
rium hire on November 1, to
take a rest cure. He appeared
to be improving until Sat relay
when he suffered a relapse which
he, in bis weakened condition,
was unable to stand. The body
was removed to the Clay home
at Marietta late in the afternoon
where the funeral services will
be held Tuesday.
Senator Clay was 57 years old
and was serving his third term
in the United States senate. He
is survived by his widow, five
sons, and a daughter, besides his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Clay, of Cobb county.
Ralph Smith, Senator Clay’s
secretary, wired Sergeant at
Arms Ransdell of the United
States senate the announcement
of the senator’s death and a com
mittee will be appointed from
the senate to attend the funeral.
Senator Clay bad not beep a
well man since he was seized
with acute indigestion in Wash
ington several years ago. Last
January he came to the sanita
rium here for two-weeks treat
ment and recovered sufficiently
to attend the last session of con
gress. The arduous work of the
spring and summer however,
taxed his strength and his health
has been failing gradually ever
since.
As a statesman, Senator Clay
was noted for his unswerving
honesty, his loyalty and indus
try. As a member of the com
mittees on post offices, and post
roads, manufactures, woman
suffrage, coast and insular sur
veys,coast defenses and public
buildings and grounds, he had
his hands full. He was never
known to shirk committee work.
“It is less spectacular than
making speeches on the floor but
that is where the real work is
done,” he would often say to
friend who urged him to give up
some of the hard labor.
Though a fair speaker Senator
blay was not what would be call
ed an orator, but he was faithful
m his attendance at all sessions
a pd paid close attention to all
that took place on the floor of
that body.
Senator Clay 7 was born on a
ia rrn in Cobb county, Georgia,
ar -d in his youth was a typical
t’ackswoudman. From the time
°f his graduation from the high
school at Palmetto, Ga., his am
bition was to become a United
states Senator. He pressed suc
cessfully from city councilman
to the general assembly,of which
he served as speaker, then to the
state senate, where he was pres
]dent two years. He was chair
man of the democratic executive
committee three years, declining
re-election.

The writer of the local news
of a wetkiy paper learns after
due expc. i mce not to expect even
briefly expressed thanks for a
column of pleasant things, but
as surely as cometh the winter a
single line in which there is an
unintentional representation will
cause some one to be heard from
as if from a house top. And we
may add that when he has made
pleasant mention 999 times of
some person, place er thing, but
on the thousandth time fails to
do so, he must not expect to be
forgiven. The omission may
ha\e been Tom accident, inad
v.rtence or even an entire lack
of knowledge. It matters net.
The simple fact remains and he
will be judged by that, says an
exchange.

THE HARTWELL SUN, NOVEMBER 18 1910
PEARY NO BETTEH
TOAM DP ffinv
liiiili iloii uuuii
Berlin.—l have just had a talk
with the famous German astron
omer, Prof. Andreas Galle, of
the Potsdam Geodetical institute,
who assured me that when he
gets thru with Commodore Pea
ry, the man who has been hon
ored the world uver as the real
discoverer of the nm-th pole, will
look no better than his despised
rival, Dr. Cook. Professor Galle,
whom n .body will think of ac
cusing of any bias in the matter
has for many months been sub
mitting Peary’s “proofs” to a
very critical examination. The
professor asserts that Peary, un
til now. has given absolutelyj.no
scientific proof of having ever
been near the north pole, but on
the other side has made several
assertions which tend to show
that he has never been there.
The so called “proofs” pub
lished by Peary are of no scien
tific value whatever, no more so
than Dr. Cook’s, said Professor
Galle, and at the same time he
added that Peary did not even
possess the instruments neces
sary to find out where he was at
any certain time during his trip.
Furthermore the professor said,
Peary would not have known
how to use the intsruments if he
had had them. Nothing in Pea
ry’s own reports shows how he
knew that he was traveling
straight north during the latter
part of his trip. The only way
to make sure of this was by
using the cdoliths and observa
tions of the stars, but Peary has
done neither.
In a very short time Professor
Galle will publish, his criticism
in the Deutsche Revue, the well
known German monthly, but at
present he asserts that nobody
is entitled to make the statement
that he has reached the north
pole unless he is able to prove
this by observations, that will
stand the test of science, and
there is nothing, absolutely noth
ing, scientific in the observa
tions made by Peary.
NOT SORRY FOR BLUNDER
“If my friends hadn’t blunder
ed in thinking I was a doomed
victim of consumption, I might
not be alive now,” writes D. T.
Sanders, of Harrodsburg, Ky.,
“but for years they saw every
attempt to cure a lung racking
cough fail. At last I tried Dr.
Kng’s New Discovery. The effect
was wonderful. It soon stopped
the cough and I am now in bet
ter health than I have been for
years. This wonderful life saver
is an unrivaled remedy for
coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma,
croup, hemorrhages, whooping
cough or weak lungs. 50c, SI.OO.
