WILL HEARST IS NOT COMING
pOWN WITH THE DOUGH.
vew York Editor Has Shown No Dis
position to Turn His Bank Roll
Over to Followers in Georgia.
an Atlanta dispatch says what is
« decided and to the interests in
volved a dangerous split is brewing
in the ranks of the Independence
party in this state. . 1t is reported
that Bernard Suttler, state chairman
and heretofore chief spokesman for
\ir. Hearst’s movement, is about to
throw the movement overboard and
desert the ship. He does not deny,
and in fact none of the leaders deny,
that a rift of opinion has for some
time existed among the leaders, and
that the same has on several occa
sions bordered on the serious.
No Funds the Trouble.
The first trouble, it is said, has
been a scarcity of funds. William
K. Hearst has not shown an inclina
tion to turn his bank account over
to his Georgia representatives. In
fact, it is said Mr. Hearst has taken
the stand that the adherents of the
party in Georgia should be sufficient-

“So it is that we look to the onion
as the producer of happiness, and
it ill befits one to cast a slur upon
the perfume of that which gives us
everything we hgve.
“Seriously speaking, however, the
onion crop in our country is a boon.
It has taken the place largely of our
stock interests. Our crop of the last
spring was not so good as the pre
vious year. This makes us glad that
we have not altogether become de
pendent upon the onion.
“Commercial conditions are good,
and more onion land has been leased
for next year than ever before. It
offers, as a crop, a great gamble,
for a bumper onion crop has made
many & poor man rich. It is ex
pensive to raise onions, and a crop
loss brings disaster, but once a good
crop is marketed the returns are
astonishing.”
Iy patriotic to finance . their own
campaign. At this the leaders, who
at the beginning had big campaign
funds in prospect, have held up their
hands in holy horrow.
Got Little Oil From Hearst.
The trouble was about to develop
into insurrection when John Temple
Graves first reached Atlanta iwo
weeks ago. He made a personal ap
peal to his employer, Mr. Hearst,
who responded with sufficient oil to
temporarily still the disturbed wa
ters. More trouble developed later,
with the result that Bernard Suttler,
state chairman and editor of the
Radical, the party’s organ, and none
of his immediate following had any
thing to do with the celebration in
Atlanta when Graves was notified
of his nomination for the vice-presi
dency.
They would not even join in wel
coming and felicitating the celebri
ties as they arrived. All of this was
left to E. E. Clapp, national com
mitteeman from Georgia, who pre
sided at the Atlanta meeting.
The Radical’'s Views.
It has been noticeable that the
Radical has had little to say about
Mr. Hearst or his national ticket,
Hisgen and Graves. The paper’s
guns have been turned on Joseph
M. Brown and in defense of Yancy
Carter almost wholly. This policy,
it is said, has not met with cordial
approval from Mr. Hearst—hence
the scarcity of funds. He demands
equal support for Hisgen and Graves
as for Carter as well as full recogni
tion of the work and unselfishness
of the national chairman, himself.
- It is also reported that Mr. Car
‘ter is inclined to support the demo
cratic nominee for president instead
of the one put up by Mr. Hearst.
This would be popular, according to
his view of the situation, and would
'alone make it possible for the state
ticket to win. Mr. Hearst is in
!clined to countenance no divided al
legiance—his leaders must swallow
jthe hog or get none of the swill.
Mr. Carter arose from a bed of
lillness to attend the notification of
' Mr. Graves. Mr. Graves stated that
the heroic act was due to the guber
natorial candidate’s desire to refute
the rumored division in the party's
ranks. In his five-minutes speech
er. Carter did not take pains to bear
out the forecast. He made no refer
|ence to the national ticket, devoting
his remarks to Mr. Carter alone.
Hold Conference.
Carter and Hearst had a confer
ence next morning. Whether differ
’ences heretofore existing = were
straightened out is not known.
' Mr. Hearst’s indifference to the
party’s need in Georgia is said to
have been due to the bad impression
he had of the state leaders. He has
not been inclined to permit them to
squander his money chasing political
rainbows. He has been inclined to
deal through Clapp rather than
Suttler, and friction has naturally
resulted.
AN EXCEPTIONAL PREACHER.
Declined to Accept an Increase in
His Salary.
An exceptional preacher is the
Rev. Irving H. Berg, pastor of the
Reformed church at Catskill, N. Y.
His congregation the other day vol
untarily increased his salary from
$2,000 to $2,500 a year. When he
learned of this action Mr. Berg called
a meeting of the church officers and
requested them to reconsider the
matter. He said he did not need the
extra $5OO a year, and that it could
be used in other ways to better ad
vantage. The church officers looked
‘at Mr. Berg in astonishment, and
voted to postpone consideration of
the question for three months.

GENTLE MOONSHINER WON'T
STAND FOR REVENUE MEN.
Woe to the Individual Who, Looking
Like an Officer of the Law, Puts
Foot on Her Territory.
Beauty the women of old Ken
tucky certainly possess, and if there
are in that state many women like
unto a certain maiden moonshiner
then absolute fearlessness should
also be attributed to. Kentucky femi
ninity. Her name is Mary Fouts,
and she is very gentle and nice when
the revenue men are not in her vi
cinity, but woe to the luckless indi
vidual who looks like an officer of
the law and who puts foot on her ter
ritory. A few days ago at her still
at Beaver Creek she engaged in a
pitched battle with a whole posse
of revenue men. She fought a lone
but winning fight, and when the
smoke of battle lifted the revenue
men were in full retreat down the
mountain, carrying two of their
wounded.
It was the second battle the girl
moonshiner had fought in two weeks
against the representatives of the
government that denies its citizens
the right to operate whisky stills
without a license, which is beyond
the understanding of the simple
mountain folk.
In the battle of two weeks ago
Miss Fouts drove back the revenue
men and mortally wounded Deputy
Marshall Day.
The revenue officers made extra
ordinary preparations for the last at
tack, but they did not catech Miss
Fouts napping.
She had stocked her mountain
fortress with guns of the latest mod
el, magazine rifles with a shell in
every chamber and food and ammu
nition enough to enable her to with
stand a siege of months.
Miss Fouts was the first to sight
the foe. Luckily she climbed to a
great rock jutting out from the
mountain side, her slim, swaying
body in its cotton gown outlined
against the sky. United States Dep
uty Collector Mays, who led the
posse, called upon the gentle Mary
to surrender. A long, low southern
laugh fell on his ears—a laugh so
sweet, so confiding and tender that
the deputy collector came a bit near
‘er the rock and just dodged a bullet
from Mary’s trusty rifle. With much
speed and very little dignity the rev
enue men backed away from the
damsel, and through the bushes they
‘watched the sunlight fall in little
flecks on her gentle face as, with true
maidenliness, she proceeded to load
a stack of guns., The hardened men,
quite overcome with such a dispaly
of womanly tranquillity and serenity,
once more drew near the mountain
lassie, this time giving notice of their
approach with a rain of bullets.
Mary Founts merely stepped behind
a boulder and let them fire away,
in the meantime getting in a few ac
curate and precise shots on her own
account. As fast as one rifle was
emptied she seized another and
brought it to her shoulder.
Henry D. Yates, a deputy marshall,
received a wound which may prove
fatal. Another of the officers was
hit in two places. His condition is
not so serious.
Realizing that it would be useless
to ‘attempt to _storm the girls
stronghold in the face of her de
termined fire the posse picked up
their wounded and retreated.
The battle had lasted a scant 30
minutes.

DISTRESSING IN CAROLINA.
Destruction by Flood on Many Plan
tations Was Total.
Advices from the South Carolina
rice districts are of a most gloomy
character. The floods in the half
dozen rivers that center about
Georgetown have destroyed 60 to 75
per cent. of the crops. On some of
the large plantations the destruction
has been total and not even seed will
be saved. There seems to be just
one way of insuring the rice crops
in the river bottoms, and that is by
an improved system of dykes and
trunks. Most of the plantations
have banks that are sufficient for
ordinary water stages, but whenever
a freshet comes along the damage
lis great and widespread.

mers shall be the motto of

DRAIN SWAMPS WITH WELLS
Plan May Solve Problem in Dough
erty and Lee Counties. Ponds
Thus Gotten Rid of.
An Albany dispatch to the Savan
nah Morning News says: Why not
drain the big ponds that are a men
ace to the health of many sections
of south Georgia by sinking on their
edges artesian wells to a deptth suffi
cient to connect with the subterra
nean passages which abound in this
region?
The' subject is one which has but
very recently received serious con
sideration, but the more it is studied
the more it seems to appeal to those
who are chiefly interested in south
Georgia drainage problems.
Within the last two or three years
several troublesome drainage prob
lems in Albany have been effectively
solved by the municipal authorities
by the artesian well method. Wells
six or eight inches in diameter have
been sunk at the edges of offensive
bodies of water, usually to a depth
of about 200 feet. In every instance
the water has promptly gone off into
some subterranean passage, and
there has been no more trouble.
Lee county is now giving the same
plan a trial. An artesian well is be
ing sunk near the edge of a big pond
near Leesburg, and should it carry
off the water other wells will be
bored in a number of other locali
ties.
If ponds can be effectively drained
by this method there is no reason
to doubt that swamps can be simi
larly redeemed, thus making avail
able for agricultural purposes some
of the richest tracts in this section
now subject to overflow or, in many
cases, under water at all times. The
subject is receiving the attenticn of
the authorities in several counties of
this section, and experimental wells
will be sunk this winter in several
quarters.
CHEERS FOR EVERYBODY.
Atlanta, in Her Enthusiasm, Never
Slights Anyone.
Atlanta is cosmopolitan. She has
cheers for everybody who will come
to see her. She cheers Hearst and
Hisgen and Graves; she cheers Wat
son and Williams; she cheers Hoke
Smith and Joe Brown; she is anxious
to cheer Bryan and Kern, and she
would cheer Debs and Chafin if she
had a chance. Atlanta is a many
sided and great town. Her enthusi
asm is always on tap. She is willing
to give a boost to anybody who has
got push. She hurrahs for Tapp or
Broughton, according to which of
them is on the stage. She would
do the same for Joe Gans or the win
ner of the Marathon race. Atlanta,
as a matter of fact, is the greatest
hurrah point in the south; a pul
sating exclamation point, as it were.
