REV. AUSTIN
IN EUROPE.
Queenstown. Ireland, on Board
Steam Ship Dominion, Septem
ber Ist, 1911.
Dear Brother Folsom:
As many of my friends in
Montgomery county knew 1 in
tended going to Europe this sum
mer, and to let them know some
thing of my whereabouts 1 am;
writing you a few lines.
Mrs. Austin and myself landed i
at Southampton, Eng., Aug. 10th.
We went immediatiately to Lon
don, and have spent most of mir
time in that city which, by the
way, is several cities in one.
London is the biggest man
made thing on earth. There is
only one Ixindon. It required
over two thousand years to make
it. The population is over seven
million people. In other words,
it is forty-six times as large as
Atlanta, and we know Atlanta to
Ik* a good size city.
I have in mind and in my note
lx>ok facts enough about I/rndon
to fill your pajier several times.
I will tell you just a few things
and will write you again if you
like.
London has twenty three
thousand policemen; and it is a
strange fact, not one of them
carry a pistol or even a “billy.”
They are said to Ik* the finest po
lice force on earth. There are
twenty-nine thousand employes
in the Royal Mail service in Lon
don alone. So you see what the
mail department of the govern
ment means. London has be
tween four and live hundred
miles of underground railway.
Besides on the streets above
there are over one thousand street
cars. These street cars are
called “mote-bus’. ” They are
large “two-story” automobiles,
seated like street cars. They
have, in some parts of the city,
street cars similar to our Ameri
can cars. These are also “two
story.” More people ride on top
than inside. They are called
“tram cars.”
There is no “main street” in
London. For miles around the
center of the “City of Cities” ev
ery street is a main street. The
streets ar**of different width and
length and some of them are
shaped like snakes. Strange to
say, there is not a building in
liondon over 10 stories high.
English law forbids the erection
of “sky-scrapers.” VVe noticed
on ilolttorn street two buildings
side by side, one erected in the
thirteenth century and the other
in the twentieth century seven
hundred years later.
London is, indeed, tin* hub of
the world. There are about nine
hundred churches and mission
halls in Ixtndon more preachers
than there are of every denomi
nation in the entire state of
Georgia. There are more the
aters and place's of amusement
than there are in Georgia. There
is more jewelry on Regent street.
London, than in all the jewelry
stores of Georgia. In an open
air auditorium in Hyde Park we
saw enough chairs in one body to
seat the* entire* population of
Montgomery county. I,ondon
has more monuments and costlier
monuments than any two cities
on earth. The monument recent
ly erected in front of Bucking
ham palace, the home of the
royal family, to the honor and
memory of Queen Victoria, is the
largest monument on earth with
the exception of Washington’s
monument. Mrs. Austin and 1
walked around the Iwise of this
vast white-marble structure, and
it required two hundred and fif
ty-four steps to make the trip.
ljondon’s sower system cost
forty-five million dollars. It
takes the refuse of the city
twenty-five miles away and emp
ties it into the ocean. London’s
fire department is so efficient that
it can conquer any flame that
might burn. London will never
burn up again.
The British Museum was a very
interesting place to us. It con
sists of several immense build
ings the largest is supported in
front by forty-four granite col
umns. f> feet in diameter and fif
ty feet high. In this building
there is a library of one million
volumes. This is the building
that contains the world-famous
Rosetta Stone the only stone of
its kind on earth. By it, andj it
alone, scholars are enabled to
read the ancient hierogliphics of
prehistoric nations. I saw the
stone. Will tell you more about
it later.
I am sending you a picture of
the boat upon which we are sail
ing today.
With love to all, I am,
Yours truly,
George F. Austin.
MILLION IN COTTON
CARGOES LEAVES.
Again yesterday cotton ship
ments from Savannah to foreign
ports swung well above the mil
lion dollar mark, when the Brit
ish steamships Riverdale, Co
meric and Gresham sailed on the
afternoon tide with 24,475 bales
of the staple.
The Comeric, cleared by A. F.
Churchill, carried approximately
10,300 bales for Liverpool, and
the Gresham, for which A. F.
Churchill is also the agent, sailed
for the same port with approxi
mately 7,700 bales.
The Riverdale, for which Hen
ry Nanninga is the agent, sailed
for Bremen with 0,475 bales. All
these ships carry other cargo,
but the greatest part of the
freight carried by each is cotton,
and the cotton is also far in ex
cess of the other cargo carried.
The 24,476 bales carried on
these three vessels may be con
servatively valued at $1,300,000,

A WOMAN MAYUR AND
A WOMAN POLICEMAN.
A Kansas town now has a wo
man mayor, a woman city mar
shal and a woman city clerk.
The October Woman’s Home
Companion, in its “About Peo
ple” department, says:
“If Chicago’s motto is, ‘I Will’
the motto of Kansas seems to be,
‘Why Not?’ For example, no
other town had elected a woman
to the mayoralty; but the voters
of Hunnewell. Kansas, saw in
that no reason why they should
not do so, especially if the woman
happened to be the ln*st man.
And when they had chosen Mrs.
Ella Wilson as mayor, she quickly
| justified their confidence in her
vigor and independence. First.
Mrs. Wilson startled the commu
nity by appointing a woman,
Mrs. Rosie E. Osliorno, city mar
shal, with instructions to pre
serve order, to clean house, and
to enforce the laws restricting the
sale of liquor. Mrs. O&borne is
six feet tall, weighs nearly two
hundred and fifty pounds; ami is
said to fear neither man nor
mouse. Mrs. Wilson also ap
pointed Mrs. E. E. Hilton town
| clerk. Like another reform may*
jor, Mrs. Wilson has found her
city council in stubborn opposi
tion to her every move; but she
is very popular with a large ele
ment upon whose moral and
political support she depends to
enable her make good the second
I half of her declaration that 'Hun
newell is no worse than a lot of
| other towns but it is going to be
letter than most of them.’ Mrs.
Wilson owns a home in Hunne
well and several farms Oklahoma
and Kansas, and as her husband
is an invalid, has long been ac
customed to manage her own
affairs unassisted.”
AT A SAFE DISTANCE.
“That memlK*r of congress
: says you have voted for him for
the last fifteen years.”
"That’s right.” replied Farmer
j Corntossel.
“Youmust think a lot of him.”
“Well, 1 dunno. You see, fif
teen years ago 1 had a couple o’
boss trades with him. an’since
then I’ve alius felt safer with
him spending so much of his time
in Washington.” Washington

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPT. 28, 1911.
SOUR APPLES CERTAINLY
MADE A COW DRUNK.
Atlanta, Sept. 18.—Authorities
at College Park, near this city,
report an unusual case of intoxi
cation, the victim being a valua
ble, prize-winning cow owned by
a farmer there. The downfall of
the Imvine jag artist is said to be
sour apples.
Yesterday the cow was discov
ered staggering along the open
highway, trying to cut all sorts
of silly capers and conducting
herself for all the world like a
regular “booze artist.” Her
owner says that the spree is an
annual performance of the cow.
