BIG GUNS BURST.
KILLING THREE
TOULON, FRANCE, June 27.—An
Investigation was ordered today of the
bursting of two guns on the French
cruiser Jules Michel yesterday which
resulted in the death of two sailors and
one gunner, and serious Injury to two
officers and fifteen men. Ten of the
injured men may die.
While the government is trying to
keep all the facts of the case secret,
the unofficial opinion is expressed that
the disaster was caused by deflagra
tion of French B powder which was
also held to be the cause of the blow
ing up of the battleship Liberte about a
year ago.
The first explosion occurred in turret
r No. 5, when a gun breach blew off,
killing a man and wounding nine
others. Practice firing was being hefd
'at the time. After the debris had been
cleared away the officers gave the com
mand to continue firing and within two
hours a heavy gun in turret No. 8 ex
ploded, wounding two officers and eight
men. The practice was discontinued
then and all the Injured rushed ashore
to a hospital.
Later in the day two of the injured
sailors died.

MACON, GA., June 27.—Secretary E.
H. Hyman of the Macon Chamber of
, Commerce declares that Augusta bodily
stole the 1913 convention of the Georgia

, Ing in Athens yesterday. He says that
when invitations for the next conven
tion were asked and he arose to present
1 Macon’s name an Augusta delegate,
who Is a dealer in road-making mate-
I rial, boldly usurped the chairman’s
, place, took charge of the meeting, de
, manded that Augusta be chosen, put
the motion himself and declared it car
, ried. Macon went to the convention
determined to win, and failure to get
the 1913 meeting was a disappointment.

WATSON ATTACKS
SENATORHUH
Launching Railroad Commis
sion Ticket, Urges Election
of Guyt McLendon.
In a bitter attack on Senator Hoke
Smith today, Tom Watson launched a
ticket of three railroad commissioners
to succeed the men who must fight for
re-election in the primary. Foremost
among the Watson candidates la S.
Guyt McLendon, who was forced out of
office as a result of Senator Smith’s ef
forts.
Judge George Hlllyer, Atlanta; Paul
Trammell, Dalton, and Joseph Gray.
Savannah, are the commissioners who
must go before - the people to serve
longer.
Watson declares that McLendon was
"lynched" by a servile legislature at
Smith’s orders. He asserts that the
senator—then, of course, governor—
needed a scapegoat, “singled out Mc-
Lendon and attacked him alone with a
savage vindictiveness that has never
been surpassed.”
Mr. Watson's other candidates are
J. J. Flynt, of Spalding, and Fermor
Barrett, of Stephens. His attack ap
pears in his paper, The Jeffersonian,
end says among other things:
If the people of this state should
right the wrong which was wreak
ed upon Guyt McLendon, by Hog-
It-all Smith, I for one, would be
deeply gratified.
There never was a man worse
lied about than was McLendon.
Smith and his paper convinced
the legislature and the public at
large that Mac had betrayed the
people to the railroads.
Acting under this impression and
under Smith’s orders, the legisla
ture lynched McLendon, driving
him out of his office, and consign
ing him to shame.
As a matter of fact, McLendon
had merely voted against the grant
of special favors to the Beck-
Gregg Hardware Company et at—
a vote which was right in Itself,
and which was In accordance with
two decisions which the commis
sion had made, when the same case
had been before It on two former
occasions.
• * • •
Long before McLendon was ap
pointed commissioner, the Beck-
Gregg Hardware Company et al.
had employed Hoke Smith to go
before the commission for the pur
pose of securing special rates for
half a dozen Atlanta jobbers, on
coffee and certain kinds of Iron
goods.
The commission very properly
refused to allow the special favors
which Smith sought for his clients.
Watson then relates some history of
I the case, declares Smith Ignored his
; campaign pledges, to reduce freight
- rates, and when condemned he grabbed
; his old petition in favor of the Beck
| Gregg Hardware Company et al. and
laid It before the commission.
He knew that the commission
could not possibly grant the special
favors applied for by those Atlanta
’ jobbers.
He knew that the commission
would be compelled to refuse the
petitioners.
But he wanted a scapegoat, and
he had selected Guyt McLendon,
who was the acknowledged head of
the railroad commission.
Although a majority of the com
mission voted against the Beck-
Gregg petition. Smith singled out
McLendon, and attacked him alone
with a savage vindictiveness that
has never been surpassed. » » »
McLendon Is superbly fitted for
the position of railroad commis
sioner.
Friends! let us put this honest
and courageous gentleman back
Into the place from which the
treacherous and vindictive Smith
kicked him.
You made a governor out of Jo
seph M. Brown, after Smith had
kicked him off the commission.
You have had no cause to re
gret It.

Man Coughs and Breaks Ribs.

man in Neenah, Wig., felt terrible pains
in his side and his doctor found two
ribs had been broken. What agony
Dr. King’s New Discovery would have

late cough, while persistent use routs
obstinate coughs, expels stubborn colds
or heals weak, sore lungs. "I feel sure
It's a God-send to humanity," writes
Mrs. Effie Morton, Columbia, Mo., "for
I believe 1 would have consumption to
day if I had not used this great reme
dy." It’s guaranteed to satisfy, and
you can get a free trial bottle or 50-
cent or SI,OOO sibe at al! druggLts. »*•
