Says This is Not Time
For Candidate From
Dixie.
NO COMMENT
ON MESSAGE
Would Not ‘Say Anything
About Extra Session in
Georgia.
Washington, Dec. 7.—Governor Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, who Is In Washing
ton attending the rivers and harbors
r.tngress. gave out an Important'Inter
view on national Democratic politics to
a representative of the Hearst News
Service today.
Governor Smith said:
Bryan Is Choice.
•I do not think this Is the time to
nominate a Southern man for presi
dent. Mr. Bryan Is the choice of the
majority of the Democrata for the
nomination, and I have no doubt he
will be named as the Democratic
standard bearer. I do not think a can
didate ahould be choaen or excluded
because he resides in a particular sec
tion, although, other thlnga being
equal, T beljeve a Southern man would
be stronger aa a national candidate be
cause he came from the South."
Stop Gambling,
Speaking of the financial condition,
the governor said It should be normal
In less than sixty days. ‘1 believe." he
said, "In an elastic currency, but the
discretion of an Increaee ought not to
be placed with corporations engaged In
the business of making money by the
sale of the use of money. It would be
a great help toward warding o(T
money panics to use nil the moans
within the reach of the government to
put a stop to gambling In stocks,
bonds and agricultural products.”
Questioned as to prohibition In Geor
gia. Governor Smith said that prohi
bition hod worked most satisfactory
In the large majority of tlio counties
of Georgia for years. From a moral
standpoint,, it has lessened drunken-

ness "and crime: front* an economic
standpoint It has stopped a great waste
of money and energy. Tho governor
said he believed It would spread. It
some plarea, It will put an end to Sun
day opening; In others it will, through
local option, atop the sale at particular
points. Prohibition may be expected
soon In other Southern states.
Would Not Talk Local Polities. •
Governor Smith had no comments to
make on the presidents message, other
than that there must be something In
It, Judging from Its bulk.
He refused to discuss any question*
ss to an extra session of the Georgia
legislature to put through some of the
rpfortu measures oh which he made his
campaign for governor,, and he would
»ay absolutely nothing one way or the
other concerning the rumor that he
would be a candidate to succeed Sen
ator Clay, from Georgia.

The yeggs smashed tho heavy wire
screen over the front door, broke the
glass behind It and then smashed the
lock on the inside with a crowbar

road. After getting Inside, they tilled

^Heard An Explosion.
The explosion was heard by at least
one Hapevllle man. Bob Hill, night
operator for the Central of Georgia
railroad. Between 2 and 3 o'clock Sat
urday morning, he heard the sound of
an explosion, but he says It was so
muffled It appeared to be at a long dis
tance. For this reason, he thought
nothing of it and never suspected that
expert crooks were at work on Pope's
store.

Macon, Go., Dec. 7.—Several car

park yesterday and the material will
be used for the construction of the sec

wick Navigation Company that will be
started In the near future.
The steamer A. E. Chappell, lately
built. Is ready for service now, but

A meeting of the directors of the

Monongah. W. Va., Dec. 7.—Four
hundred coffins have been ordered by
the Fairmont Coal Company. All of
these boxes will be used—sooner or
later, for It may be weeks before all
of the mine explosion victims are re
covered. Possibly the order will be In
creased.
"There Is no question that 40(1, pos
sibly 425, are dead," said the superin
tendent of the mine. The mine em
ployed about 900 men.' and 450 names
have boen checked off as having en
tered the mine yesterday morning. The
checking has not yet been completed.
Up to 10 o'clock this morning, 165
blackened . bodies had been recov
ered. Some of these bodies were
totally unrecognizable, while others
were In good condition.
I Half Are Americans.
Of the total number of victims, about
one-half are Americans. Charles Hon-
aker, aged 15. a trapper boy. was
caught at the entrance of No. 8 mine
and bis body was blown 200 yards Into
the river and lost. So great was the
force of the explosion that one man
was blown out of the pit mouth, a
distance of 400 feet.
Physicians are at or near the mines
attending members of the rescuing par
ty, many of whom have been over

In waiting In one of the buildings near
the mine to take charge of the bodies
as soon as they are brought out. and
make.them as presentable as possible.
May Never Reach All.
' Some of the bodies may never be
reached, ae parts of the mine have
caved In, and what was once a mine
can not be distinguished from the
mountnlnous countryside.
Although there aqn great crowds
about tho entrance of the mine, there
are Innumerable women and children
crouching In modest homes—fearfully,
terribly awaiting what they know must
come—the blackened remain* of a hue-
band, of a father, of a brother.
'Phone System Working.
It was an experiment of the last re
sort In the vain hope that some one
miner might at least be still living,
when electricians repaired the tele
phone that reaches to every chamber
of the wrecked mines. If any of the en-
tombed men were alive In the rooms
headings they would have gladly
seized the opportunity to communicate
with the outside world upon hearing
the telephone bell. Electricians who
tested the wires said that the entire
phone system was In working order.

HOW SALVATION ARMY
CARRIES ON ITS WORK
To Relieve Distress

By MAJOR J. M. BERRIMAN.
.Southern divisional officer of
Salvation Army.
First Cor. 9:22. "I am made all things to
II urn, that I might by all means sate
some." f
To students of the history of the early
Christian church it will be plain that with*
out any preconceived plan of copying them
we have been led, so to speak, by divine
Instinct to adopt plans and methods very
similar to theirs, and It Is doubtful If Chris
tianity would have gained so rapid and
marvelous a hold on the world ns it has
had it not been that the message of the
early Christians was a social ns well as a
purely religious one nnd had they not been
convinced that no department of social life
was outside the range of their calling and
Vo many this similarity of the work of the
Salvation Army with that of the early apos
tolic church may not be evident, but per
haps there are uo religious workers In the
world today who carry out the literal In
terpretation of the atutement of St. Paul
as do these Christ Inn soldier*.
