K 2D, DROWNS IN PIEDMONT PARK LIKE First Victim of the Season Claimed When Boat Cap sizes With Four Boys. The waters of Piedmont park lake claimed their first victim of the year at half-past 10 o'clock this morning when James Sims, a youth of 20, "caught a crab” that overturned the boat in which he rowed with three companions, and was drowned in sight of 300 onlookers. A score of boaters rowing about the i lake hurried to the spot, too late to I save him. and he sank in spile of the ' efforts of Roy Bosche, his life-long friend, v ho tried to swim with him to , shore. Bosche himself was only half con scious when he reached the land with him on his back. The body was found ■ (Georgia Tech students, who dived and grappled for it with hooks. It was / recovered an hour after the drowning, r wnd doctors front Grady hospital work ed ot er it tw o hours in vain attempt to bring back life, while many men and women v a.tched them. Young Sims, who was a city sales man for the leather firm of H. Wilensky J: Co., In this city, lived at No. 292 North Jackson street with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sims, his parents, and Hallman Sims, his brother. He had a morning off today, and since Piedmont park lake had been opened to bathers and boaters lie went there to spend bis half holiday with throe friends. First he mot Bosche, of No. 446 North Boulevard, and then they found Fred W. Hunt, of 45 1-2 Auburn avenue, and Al Thompson, of 18 East Harris street, disporting themselves on the bathing side of the dividing trestle at the north end of the lake. Sims was the only one of the fout friends who could not swim, and to give him some sport that ho could en joy the others hurried from tiie water m'their bathing suits, hired one of the blunt-sterned lake boats of the keeper, am! started out on the sheet of water. Hunt sat n ith Sums In the middle oat of Hm craft, each pulling an oar. with the latter at the port side. o*r Slips and Boat Is Capsized. H;s friends twitted Sims about his poor oarsmanship jestingly, and point ed out that he couldn't expect to row because lie was the only one of the four ■Aho wore street clothes instead of bathing suits. Sims pulled away at his • ■ar with all his strength, and the boat, veering from side to side, had ca reened to a point about sixty feet from the further bank when Sims "caught the •• crab.” His pttf pulled out of the wide-mouthed Jot-'k: as it gave suddenly he fell over against Hunt, who towed Jyjyid'’ him. The. boat careened; the next second it had flopped over upon its starboard side and Hie four young (, men, were flung bodily into the rater. •pwo-score of women and titty men upon the bank cried out as the' saw rhe vouths struggling in the water. A dofcen boats. 200 yards away, began pulling frantically to tin rescue. Sims • ame up from his plunge beneath the surface and grabbed foi the prow of ilie overturned boat. It sank beneath his weight. Hunt and Thompson tri. io help him, but they swam with dif ficulty themselves and coulcf not carry ihe fiqundci ing youth to the other end of the boat. Bosche tried. He suc ceeded. but even the broad stern of .he ■ raft would not bold up the drowning hoy and his hold upon it broke so that he fell back into the water and came up gasping with stifled lung.-. Comrade Tries Hard to Save Him. By I his time Thompson and Hun’ - ere nearly exhauster!, and the neat est of the boats was still a hundred feet away. These two struck out for the shore, while Bosche. himself badly tired, made one more attempt to save Sim-' life. Sims had sunk beneath the surface. Bosche dipped, too. caught his friend by an arm and flung the arm around his own neck. Then, with ’lie half-unconscious lad clinging to him with what he thought the death grip, he began the struggle for the shore. The swimmer and his friend had struggled through twenty feel of water toward the nearer bank when the spec tators cried out in horror, for the drowning Sims was seen to rejea.se his nold about Bosche’s neck and slide from his back into the water. Bosche turned about and made a clutch at his friend, hut Sims had already/'sunk like a stone and Bosche. struggling desperately now to keep himself a final, turned back and battled on toward the shore. Seyers I boa’s had reached the spot where Sims had gone down by this time, and with them hurried a half ‘l dozen students of the Technology -chool In bathing suits, who had rushed with the life-saver from the swimming por* of thr lake when they heard the < ries above Among fttese were Ed it ~ 'cd T Bujfrus. of Columbia: W.

BIBBGO. EDITOR’S BOOM GAINING MDMENTOM ’ Bibb Delegation, Solidly Anti- Watson.

Pendieton. kof Bibb, foi one of th** places as dele gate at large to Baltimore, as outlined ’in The Georgian yesterday, took definite •shape last night when certain leaders of •the Bibb county delegation to the state ’convention agreed to undertake the ■ 'election of the Macon editor, but with out asking him hi* wishes in the mat- Iter. The Bibb county delegation Is solidly janti-Watson. More than that, it Is just ♦as solidly pro-Pcndleton. and it will fcbend its best effort to keeping Watson lat home and sending Pendleton to Bal itimore in Watson’s place. This stand of the Blbb county defrga |V.ion is being enthusiastically accepted I Sby other delegates wiic arc opposed to | tWatson. 'I hey see in Pendleton s elec hton as k delegate an added "ebuke to They think that nothing would Ipo completely humiliate Watson as pul- Ying Pendleton on the national delega tion in Watson’s stead. Pendleton-Watson War Ancient. , The newspaper controversy between IVatson ami Pendleton during the prog ress of the first Hoke Smith campaign tor the governorship was one of the fiercest and most inconclusive "ver waged in Georgia. Both men are mas ters of ridicule, sarcasm, satire and Invective, and what they said about '■ t>ne another In that newspaper row snade about the crispest ‘‘copy” that lever came down the Georgia journal 1' Istic pike. } The battle generally was considered a /draw. After the wreck had been cleared Pup finti *he debris swept aside, it was Ipbserved that Pendleton had about as many handfuls of Watson's red hair as y.’atson had obtained of Pendleton's u hite hair. At that time Watson was devoted ‘passionately to the cause of Hoke iStaiith in Georgia. Since then he. has t’urned against Smith, and now says far more bitter things of him than he ever s?Jd of Pendleton. He refers to the iwsnator invariably nowaday s as "Hog < - All Hoke.” Pendleton still stands right where he • !|d when he and Watson disnuted. Pen dje.ton always has been against Smith, SVtid more than likely’ always will be. Wounds Never Have Healed. The wounds left from that first Smith campaign for governor never have leealed. The love lost between Pendle tk>n and Watson would rattle around ’ptth a booming sound Inside even the lhell of a defunct mustard seed Watson snorts at the mention of Pen dleton’s name and Pendleton thinks so trwuch of his newspaper that he will not men permit the name of the "red h»;aded person" to bedeck or bespangle ijts’pages. no matter what happens. If Watson had claimed to be. the dis coverer of the north pole back in the oheerful Perry-Cook days, and the pop ulace had depended upon The Macon Telegraph to spread the glad tidings, taobody would yet know that Watson Jrad even been butting around up in rtJiat frozen vicinity. Editor Pendleton [gave old Doc Cook great gobs of free advertising, however. The Pendleton movement has more behind it, of course, than a mere pur pose to "rub it in" on Watson. Pendleton a Stslwert Demoorat. Colonel Pendleton is one of Georgia s (fttalwart Democrats. He never has ap t’pvpved ot Watson or Watsonism. His Selection in Watson's place would be a Htinging rebuke to the McDuffie man, to foe sure; but over and above all that, Pendleton is Pendleton. And that means .much In Georgia. The Macon editor has represented iGeorgla in various national conven tions, and was one of the committee of ’notification when Alton B Parker was in St. Louis. If elected tomorrow to go once more io the national Democratic council ti is "not at all unlikely that Colonel Pendle ‘l on will be named chairman of the deli - Jpa’lon by his associates.

Cotton experts are busy today figuring the mone.v value of yesterday's rain, which was general. Some say the timely moisture was worth J 1.000,000. “If the cotton raisers of Georgia had the rain-making machinery in their own hands, they could not have turned on the showers at a more opportune time,” said J. J. Brown, assistant com missioner of agriculture. However, a few reports indicate that some sections suffered considerably from hall storms. Itafl fell in Mil ledgeville and vicinity and north along the line of the Georgia railroad, in the cotton belt. It appears ’hat the hail storms were slight, however, and the rainfall com ing after two weeks of bright, warm weather, will put the cotton in sea sonable shape, despite the late planting.
