Veterans Demand That It

AS IT CUTS DOWN DRUNKENNESS
Army and Navy Uuion Calls on Con

Squarely—Claims Great
i Blow Struck at Tem
perance.
The convention of the Army and
’ Navy Union meeting at Washington,
* D. C., voted in favor of the restoration
of the army”canteen and for an in
> crease of 10 per cent in the pay ’bf
petty officers and entitled men of the
navy on every four years of service.
The resolution adopted in favor of
' the restoration ot the army canteen
follows:
Resolution on Canteen.
“Resolved by and Navy
Union in convention assembled, That
we desire to go on record with the
officers and men of the army, with
President Rooesvelt and Secretary
Taft, with the Spanish veterans and
many other patriotic organizations, in
favor of restoration to the army and to
, soldiers’ homes of the canteen as It
' was operated prior to 1901.
“Resolved, That our own experience
, has shown beyond question that the
’ sale of beer and light beverages In
the army canteen was a veritable tem
perance measure; that it aided in pro
moting the moral welfare and com
fort of the men in the post and in
the camps, and that no greater blow
to genuine temperance was ever struck
than when the law was repealed.
“Resolved, That we believe that
Congress should have the courage to
meet this question squarely and fair
ly, and not be influenced, as in the
past, by the theories of persons who
have had no actual experience with
army and navy life. We, therefore,
direct the officers of this organization
to take whatever steps may be neces
sary to urge Congress to restore the
former law as to the canteen, be
lieving that we are acting not only
for the good of our soldiers, hut like
wise in the interest of temperance and
moderation.”
MRS. STOWE HATED NEGROES
In Enter Years She Bitterly Repented
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
Monteagle, Tenn., July 24.—Harriet
Beecher Stowe in her later years bit
terly repented having written “Un- ,
cle Tom’s Cabin” and came to hate
negroes, according to Mrs. L. N. Whit
ner, of Jacksonville, Fla., who lived i
only a short distance from Mandarin,
Fla., the home of Mrs. Harriet Bee- ,
cher Stowe during her last days. :
Mrs. Whitner, who is visiting here, ,
used often to visit this cottage hon\f. ;
almost hidden among the orange trees
on the St. John's River. ,
Mrs. Stowe said to her over and (
over emphatically that she came j
South with a philantropic love for ]
the negroes, hoping to spend her .
last years in benefitting and elevating j
them, hut she had met_ disappointment ,
at every turn; they had abused her j
kindness and shown ingratitude and
total want of appreciation. \
While talking of “Uncle Tom's Ca- \
bin” Mrs. Stowe said. ‘‘J’hat story
had its origin in the idle brain of a ,
romantic girl of 14 years, fired by ,
the fearful stories told me by my fa- ,
ther and uncle. I did not know the ,
negro then or it would never have
been written.” 1
In her last days Mrs. Stowe would ,
not allow a negro to do her the least
service.

ANTIS MAKE A GREAT EIGHT.
i
I By Filibustering Prevent Passage of the State Pro=
hibition Bill.
> EIGHT IS EXPECTED TO BE CARRIED ON TODAY.
Prohis Were Surprised at the Scrap the Small Minority Put Up-Great
Crowds Tilled the Capital Eager to Learn of the Course of the Battle
Telegrams Poured in Trom Triends of Antis Urging
Them to Keep Up the Fight—What Will the four
fifths of the House Do to Break
the Opposition Down.
ATLANTA, GA., July 24.—(Special.)
—From the opening of the morning
session the mine city began to filibus
ter against the passage of the prohi
bition bill. Although comprising but
one-fifth o fthe membership of the
body, the antis acted as solidly and
with as unbroken and determined a
front as the prohis. Their secret con
ference, at which plans lor the de
laying of the final action on the bill
was taken, had united them as a unit
and under the leadership of Dunbar,
Hines, Adams, and Barrow, the lat
ter two from Savannah, they made
good their threat that they could and
would hold up the passage of the bill
indefinitely unless some concessions
were made by the prohis and a spirit
of more liberality and fairness exer
cised toward the minority.
The same spirit of- stiff neckedness
that has marked the prohis the past
few days seemed to have taken pos
session of both sides to the greatest
fight on the liquor question that any
Southern State has even Seen in its
legislative halls. Following their
leaders the little band of antis, with
utter disregard of the attacks or ap
peals of the prohis, continued dila
tory tactics throughout the entire day,
demonstrating c onclusively that a
well handled minority, even though
small, can be made very efficient ma
chine for the hampering of legisla
tion. All day endless roll calls used
up the time of the House. The gal
leries were crowed with both prohis
and antis, the former vastly predomi
nating and although held well in or
der, a feeling of intense disguest and
disapprobation was apparent among
them at the tactics which seemed to
threaten to rob them of their victory
for today at least, to defer for another
week the final passage of a bill that
will make Georgia dryer than either
Kansas or Maine.
As hour after hour passed and it
became apparent tha tthe. tactics of
the antis, with their interminable roll
calls of dilatory motions upon mo
tions, would probably result in a
failure on the part of the House to .
take any definite action before mid
night it then became evident
that the prohis had for the* first time
fully become aware of the fact that
under victory might
be indefinitely postponed.
As one leader of the prohis remark
ed, “If a little minority can balk us
today and tonight, and keep four
fifths of the House from enpzting the
legislation it wants, th neit can p-ob
ably do the same thing on next Wed
nesday unless we can find a parlimen
tary method of suppressing filibuster
ing. I am in favor of drastic steps to
revent such interference as this with
the will of the House by a recalcitrant
few.
The capital building has been the
centre of interest all day. Great
crowds of men and women have fill
ed the corridors. Hundreds upon hun
dreds were unable to get into the gal
eries of the House, hut remained in
the lobbies and corridors and offices
of the great building eagerly awaiting
MARRIAGE AT ROUND YESTERDAY
Mr. Timmerman, of Plains, Weds
Miss French, of That Place.
Yesterday morning, at 10:30 o’clock,
Mr. E. Timmerman, one of the leading
young farmers of Plains, was wedded
to Miss Lillie French, of Richland, at
the home of the bride's parents at
Richland, Rev. W. W. Arnold, officia
ting.
After receiving the congratulations
of their friends at Richland Mr. and
Mrs. Timmerman left for Plains where
a reception was tendered them last
night at the home of the groom’s par
ents. The reception was attended by
a host of friends of Mr. Timmerman.
Mr. and Mrs. Timmerman will make
their home with Mr. Timmerman'!',
parents for the time being.
Mr. Timmerman enjoys the esteem of
all of Plains. He has secured in his
bride, a young lady of many lovable
traits of character, who is known to
a large number of Sumter people, as
well as of Stewart, her home coun
ty.

news of some definite action by the
, House. Telegrams have been pour
ing in from every town in the State
throughout the day, from both wets
and drys, seeking information as to
the progress of the battle. Many
i telegrams have come to the minority
[ urging them to stand firm and fight
i the battle to the death. The vigor
• of the fight the minority is putting up
is a surprise to the prohis. who had
somewhat anticipated that in view of
the tremendous majority in favor of
, the bill the opposition would be weak
and be abandoned atfer a few hours’
light maintained more to set them
straight with their friends than with
any hope of final success.
Tactics of flic Minority.
The tactics pursued throughout the
day by the minority have been as fol
low's.
A little local bill, of no especial con
sequence, would be introduced and
put upon its first rea ding. As each
member of the minority voted on this
bill lie would occupy the time limit,
three minutes, for an explanation as
to \yliy he thus voted. A colleague
would then introduce a resolution for
an extension of the time allowed for
the explanation, which would consume
further time on a roll call. Inasmuch
as every mmeber of the minority had
to give the reason that promptd him
to vote as he did, and each of them
was given the benefit of a resolution
for an extension of time, the delay
was interminable, and it is evident that
unless the rules of the House can be
suspended or changed that legislation
can be brought absolutely to an end.
In order to put a stop to the dila
tory tactics of the antis Dr. Whitely
moved that the rules of the House be
suspended aud the prohibition bill be
put upon its passage. This was ruled
out of order. Wright then appealed
from the chair and the point was made
that if the House adjoi ;jd while an
appeal was pending toomrrow morn
ing's session would be a continuation
of the session of today and the House
would thus resume consideration of
ithe prohibition bill instead of defer
ring its further consideration until
next Wednesday, as the antis have
planned.
At 10:30 o’clock the conditions ex
isting were the same as they had been
all day. The minority were as deter
mined as ever to stop any action on
the part of the House and stated that
they were prepared to carry on the
fight on the same lines indefinitely. The
outlook is that the House will ad
journ at midnight and that tomorrow
morning it will meet in adjourned ses
sion and go on with the performance
of today. Whether this will continue
until one side or the other wears out,
some parlimentary method he found
of cutting the knot, remains to be
developed. As it stands at 10:30*p,
m., the antis have surprised the prohis
Ny the vigor of their opposition, by the
skill they have shown in keeping up
the fight, and by the determination
with which they face the future. But
the antis insist there can be no doubt
of the passage of the bill.

THEIR PROTESTS
OF NO AVAIL.
‘ Supt, and Force will Work
Here M Monday.
. SAVANNAH HAS LOST ENTIRELY OUT
The Superior Advantages of Ameri
t cus as a Gentral City on the Divis
ion Were too Great-Supt. Grim
shaw Will be Here Tomorrow
and Force Soon Follows.
The protests made by the
organizations of Savannah have prov
ed unavailing. The superior advan
i tages of Americus. as a central point
. between Savannah and Montgomery,
. have prevailed. The Superintendent’s'
i office for this division will be re
i moved to this city, as, directed some
day ago a,nd the affairs of the entire
■ 400 miles of road will be administer
: ed from Americus.
Nobody expected that tile efforts
i of the Savannah people to retain the
[ superintendent’s office would be suc
cessful. The logic of the situation
was against them. The only wonder
is that the change was not made long
ago aud the old status restored. In
tile beginning it was recognized that
Americus was the natural headquar
ters for the division, aud it has al
ways been felt here that sooner or
latei it would be restored.
Work on the offices for the super
intendent and his force is approach
ing completion. Electric fans will
keep them as cool as possible and
the comfort of the men as well as
the conveniences for business were
considered. .
Supt. Grimshaw is expected here
on Friday to make the final arrange
ments for the installation of his
force. The entire force will move
over to Americus on Sunday, the re
cords of the office being shipped along
with them.
By August 1 the superintendent’s
office here will be going along as
smoothly as though it has never been
transferred.

For several miles around the farm

Twenty-flv° pigs, kids and calves
will be offeree up as a sacrifice to the

Dinner baskets will come, stocked

Ample food will be on hand for a
thousand or more people ,at least,
and fully that many are expected to
be on hand.
The feasting will last all day, there
may be some speechmaking, there will
be an abundance of spring water and
light drinks, but nothing calculated to
disturb the harmony and good will of 1
the assemblage.
