VOL. XXVI. PULASKI FARMERS MAKE DEMANDS. Hawkinsville, Ga., Aug. 5. —At a mass meeting, composed prin cipally of farmers, held at the courthouse here today speeches were made censuring Hon. Hoke Smith for refusing to go to Wash ington to assume his duties as senator, after which the follow ing resolutions were unanimous ly adopted, with the request that they be sent to the state press for publication: Whereas, In the National Con-' gress at this time there are bills pending, already having passed the House, which are of vital in terest to the people of the South in that they seek to greatly re duce our tariff burdens, pushed upon us years ago by the pluto crats who control the Republican party; And whereas, The House of Representatives, controlled by Southern men, has passed sever al of these bills which if adopted by the Senate will mean more to the Southern people than any legislation within our reach in a score of years; And whereas, The great fight is now on in the Senate, where the Empire State of the South has only one senator, the Hon. Hoke Smith having up to date declined to accept the place to which he was elected some weeks ago by the general assembly of this state; Therefore be it resolved: First—That we deplore the sit uation which deprives Georgia and the South and the Democrat ic party of a much needed vote in the Senate of the United States at this critical time, when the lines are so nearly evenly drawn in that body. Second—That we regret to see from the public print that our Governor-Senator Smith prefers to take the advice and to adopt the views of the Republican sen ator from Wisconsin, LaFollette, instead of the advice of the lead i '"'Jji the Democratic party in 1 the Senate, Senator Martin, of Virginia, and particularly do we regret that he has seen fit to ap prove the LaFollette bill as a better measure than that framed and passed by a Democratic House, controlled by Southern men, and which received all the Democratic votes of the senators save one. The House bill putting meat and bread on the free list, and the LaFollette bill adopted by the Senate as a substitute re taining the tariff tax thereon. Third—That the probability be ing that the differences between the two houses in Congress will go to conference, in which case a chance yet remains to place bread and meat on the free list (as this provision was lost in the Senate by only one vote) we call on the Hon. Hoke Smith to pro ceed at once to his post of duty at Washington, believing that he will yet be persuaded to vote with his Southern colleagues for free bread and meat and against the Republicans who wish to place a tax thereon to further swell the coffers of the trusts. And that Georgia will be happy and prosperous under the admin- 1 istration of Hon. John M. Slaton and his successors chosen in the I coming primary. Fourth—That if the governor-{ senator declines to proceed to; Washington that we call on the general assembly of Georgia to proceed at once to the election of a United States senator to fill the vacancy now existing. Fifth—That we call on the peo ple generally all over the state, and the farmers especially, to come together in similar mass meeting and express themselves on the existing situation. I ©t t ilmutor.

TO PROTEST CHILD LABOR, Atlanta, Aug. 3.—Among the imoortant pending bills which it is hoped will be reached before the close of the legislature, and in which keen interest centers, is the child labor measure introduc ed in the house by Hooper Alex ander of DeKalb. In addition to reducing the hours in mills from 66 hours a week to 10 per day, which is al ready cove/ed in the general labor bill, which has passed the 1 house, the Alexander bill provid- j es that no child under 14 years of age shall be employed in any mill, factory or workshop in the state, and further provides that no business enterprise shall em ploy a child under 16 years of age, unless an age certificate is | procured. A recent report of the federal j bureau of labor, treating of the : relation between juvenile delin jquencyand the employment of children, sets forth conclusively! that the juvenile reformatories for'white children in the South are recruited from the working children to a much greater extent than from those who go to school; j the figures showing that the chil dren who are put to work at ten der ages become criminals in a mathematical proportion from two to ten times as often as chil l dren who are sent to school. MT. VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1911. SAYS WATSON WOULD SUPPORT J. M. BROWN. Athens, Ga., Aug. 7. —“lf Joe Brown announces for governor to succeed Senator Hoke Smith, I shall take the stump in the ; state in support of candidacy.” This was the utterance of Thomas E. Watson today to a close personal and political friend j after his speech at Bishop, sever al miles from Athens. Mr. Wat son authorized D. 11. Pruitt, of this city, to make this statement to the daily paper in Athens to night. Mr. Watson further stat ed to Mr. Pruitt that in the next issue of the Jeffersonian he will make practically the same an nouncement as to his position in the coming gubernatorial cam paign in Georgia, provided for mer Governor Brown shall con sent to become a candidate for the position he recently gave up to Governor Smith. Mr. Watson addressed between three thousand and thirty-five hundred persons at Bishop, scores going from Athens to hear the speech in interest of the Jeffer sonian Democratic League, which it is proposed to organize in the militia districts of the DIED IN BIRMINGHAM. Rev. Charles Montgomery was called last week to Birmingham, Ala., on account of the sudden death of his brother, Judge Jos. H. Montgomery, postmaster of that city. He had just delivered a public address at the court house and suddently collapsed, and died in a few moments, death resulting from a heart trouble. Three brothers, Rev. Montgom ery of this place, Hon. R. M. Montgomery of Hazlehurst and Mr. Hugh Montgomery of Paris, Ky., attended the funeral service which was held last Friday. Judge Montgomery was a man of affairs, and last fall was appoint ed to the postmastership of Birmingham, with which city he was prominently identified. He leaves a wife, who will continue to reside in Birmingham, besides two other brothers and one sis ter who live at the old homestead in South Carolina. Postmaster 1 Montgomery was about forty eight years of age, and had been affected with heart trouble for three years. DYNAMITE AND POWDER USED IN WRANGLE. St. Marys, Ga., Aug. s.—Four persons, E. L. Fader and wife, white, and William Alberti and his wife, colored, were bound over to the superior court here today charged with assault with intent to kill. Alberti had a gun shot wound in his thigh, his daughter is shot in the leg and : foot and his wife is seriously in jured as a result of an explosion of dynamite on Cumberland Is-1 land, where both families reside. The white family charged the negroes plotted to wipe out the Fader family with the aid of dy namite, but that the explosive, prematurely fired, injured the ne gro woman. The shoooting fol lowed and caused the charges against Fader and his wife. Two other white men were ar rested, but were released at the hearing today. LOCATES IN VIDALIA.

Sheppard gave a very short but interesting talk, and immediately after the dinner was spread under a large shade i tree in the yard and it was also I a success as there was plenty to , eat and something nice. And to help things on Mr. M. B. Peterson of Vidalia brought several fine melons which were cut about three o’clock in the af ternoon. Every body will look forward for the fourth of August, 1912. i May God keep her in good health as she now is, and we all may have just such another day.

It is barely possible that the Legislature will pass the reap portionment bill this summer, since a number of changes have been made since the bill was placed in the hands of the com mittee. Under the present form, if the new twelfth district is j made, Montgomery county will form a part of it, along with Dodge, Pulaski, Toombs, Twiggs, Telfair, Emanuel, Houston, Lau rens, Johnson and Wilcox. This district, composed of eleven counties, would have a total population of 208,463. It is thought that this arrangement would please the majority of the citizens of the counties comprised in the new district, if it should be made. The Eleventh district has for many years been the largest in Georgia, and it is quite sure, that, even in the event of other arrangements as to divis ions, it should be lessened in area, as at present it contains the greater part of Southeast Georgia. It is possible that the bill will be passed this session. * _________ Citation. Georg in—Montgomery County. To all whom it may conrern: W.J.
