Explosion on BlackTom Islanc
(Concluded from 1st page) ‘
a grown person, so you see whai
a fix I’d a been in if that young
•ter had passed away. The wo¬
man was standing along side me
looking like she wanted to faint,
with a group of childreu hanging
to her skirts and the second
youngest in her arms when I saw
blue colored waves of gas from
the explosion I suppose, comii g
at us; so I knew we had it with
tis» I leaned forward like I had
•een sailors do in pictures when
firing big guns, and in a second
or so a deafening roar and a feel¬
ing that some one had pushed me
in the face with a hot pillow. It
came three quick blasts of sever¬
al carloads this time and as scon
as we were straight from the
•hock I could see spurts of earth
flying all over the place, and in
several instances, the shrapnel
exploded after it hit the ground.
It sesms a miracle that no one
Was killed from the rain of bits
tff iron and bullets that fell here,
as we had absolutely no protec¬
tion. In places whole ca.^es had
fallen without expb.ding and one
piece ofnron 4”xl” x 7 feet long
fell and half buried itself in the
asphalt. After the second big tear
tap. everybody including everybody,
made tracks for the shelter of the
•ea wall and decided to risk the
|tat.ue falling on them utlior than
take'c'hiuu^'rsii■ the bullets. When
all the women and kids were safe
Under the statue and north sea
Wall, the C,0. had all enlisted men
posted on guard all over the island
to see that nothing caught Are,and
believe me, that was a disagreeable
job as four barges of munitions had
teaught fire and Were drifting with
the tide toward ns. Well all of
them passed the west corner of the
island shooting like the Germans
haVe never heard, and strange to
•tty, they were gningoff in chunks.
1 don’t know why they didn’t ex¬
plode to^eth' t. The Governor’s
Island Ferrv carried off all women
children and w.amded, quite a few
badlv nut ated bruised, and the rest
stayed on post, all night, or morn¬
ing, and watched the fireworks.
Certaiuly was worth seeing ns
barges shot their charges
of feet in the air—to see
cases burst and fall in a shower
illumination. The only
feature was when yon thought
one of those things would feel
if it fell on you, and they kept
ing ou the island until 7
und the explosions were
uous froqj. 2:30 to 10:80 a.rn.
Well, luckily uo quo was
$® u
and when daylight came and we got
a look at our quarters, we all de¬
cided that war would be like Gen
Sherman said. All the window
panes were everywhere and the
sashing was hanging on mosquito
bajrs and in places on elec'ric light
hangers. The water pipes were
burs ted unA water had to be hauled
from Governor’s island for break
fast as it has been ever since
The island* was a wreck and after
a makeshift breakfast we all had to
stand guard agais* and that contin¬
ued all that day and part of last
night lor me, and today I have to
go back to the office. .We first
took a half day to chan up and
now am I ack at the same old job
and very thankful to be. Ourquar.
tors have been c ndemiied but we
are still sleet irig in them. Hie
Chief Machinist lias just been car¬
ried to the liospitti from foiling
with a loaded shell which he found
here. The cap exploded and took
his hand oil' they say. Needle.-s to
say I am not curious to see the in¬
side of any or them.
Yours as ever,

Of course it should! For after

cidental to a vacation. “We

without Sloan’s Liniment.”
Writes one vacationist** “We use
it for everything from cramps to
toothache.” Put a bottle in your
bag. be prepared and have no

EQUAL RATES TO ALL
NO MORE SPECIAL FAVORS
Out of 3,000 shipping towns in Georgia about 6o enjoy the special privilege of "basing point rates.” That is, rates lower
than to other nearby or intermediate points. The proposed freight rate readjustment in Georgia, set for a hearing before the
Railroad Commission of Georgia on August 17th, seeks to correct this.
It has already been largely done throughout Georgia, with respect to rates from points in other States, and the interstate
“basing point” system has been abolished in accordance with the Act to Regulate Commerce under the orders of the Inter,
state Commerce Commission.
A few examples will show to what extent the hundreds of smaller points in Georgia have been already benefited and how
the readjustment in Georgia, when completed, will work for the benefit of the whole State by equalizing the opportunity of
all towns, large and small, for doing business.
MADISON, BREMEN, RICHLAND and OCILLA are four widely separated Georgia towns representing different
sections of the State. Similar illustrations can be made by the hundreds. These four towns suffice to illustrate the striking
changes already brought about an this interstate rate readjustment, shown in the table bdow:
