HEARSTNEPLIES
•TO ENGLAND ON
U.S.HONOR
In Statement to the British
Press He Makes Appeal for
“Better Understanding.”
Special Cable to The Georgian.
LONDON. Sept. IS.—William Ran
dolph Hearst writes a column letter In
The London Express replying to Eng
lish press criticism on his exposition of
America's position in the Panama ques
tion. After answering the newspaper
comments in detail, he continues:
As for myself, a Home Rule
American, pleaee believe that I am
not quite as yellow as I am painted
and am only Immoderate in opposi
tion to injustice and intolerant In
the presence of untruth.
I confess quite frankly that I em
ploy such powers of publicity as I
have for the purpose of accomplish
ing reforms, and that I use them at
all times as forcefully and effect
ively as I possibly can.
Indeed, I ardently believe that the
noblest and most Important func
tion of journalism is fearlessly to
condemn what is bad in the attempt
to reform It, and freely to praise
what to good in the effort to cn
cowsage ft.
In the pnrstianoe of that policy I
twsve critic! sed many matters in my
own country and some things in
Dtwtand only with the sincere de
sire of ottmulating the public sense
to a realisation of the necessity of
Improving conditions and achieving
pragresa.
Tn international affairs I believe,
as I have staid, that my country is
actuated by the highest motives
and is inspired by the fundamental
principle of equal rights and uni
versal justice, and I support this
enlightened foreign policy with an
earnestness born of sincere convic
tion and patriotic devotion.
But confidence in my own coun
try and affection for my own people
do not prevent me or other Ameri
cans from entertaining a genuine
regard for the people of Great
Britain, if only the English news
papers. by a little more moderation,
will permit us to do so.
This Panama canal question is of
great sentimental Importance to
the United States, but of absurdly
small importance to Great Britain.
To allow it, therefore, to interfere
In any way with the cordial rela
tions existing between the United
States and Great Britain would be
most unfortunate.
In a better understanding be
tween the people of the United
States and the people of Great
Britain in the harmonious co-oper
ation of such groat nations for
righteous and unselfish ends lies
one of the most potent possibilities
for the sdwremfflt of civiliza
tion, for the establishment of uni
versal peace and the attainment of
the altruistic artm* of humanity.
Therefore, I can not but advise a
nttle more consideration on the
part of the English press for the
sensibilities of the people of the
United States, a clearer compre
hension of the fact that our sense
of honor and our devotion to high
er idea Is is quite as great ae that of
any people upon the face of the
globe, and, finally, a reattzatton that
abuse of us does not constitute to
us or to others a convincing argu
ment.

Vessel Picks Up First One of
Number Put Afloat to Ad
vertise Texas Town.
GALVESTON. TEXAS, Sept. 18.—
The Factory association of Wichita
Falls, Texas, Is responsible for a unique
competition which was made known
here today on the arrival from Hon
duras of the schooner Two Sisters of
Panay. Captain Morgan, of that boat,
wired the Factory association of Wich
ita Falls and was wired the sum of
SIOO in return. This is the story:
While still in the Yucatan channel
one of the sailors on the Two Sisters
of Panay sighted a large bottle floating
on the surface of the gulf waters.
Thinking it might be a communication
from a lost ship, it was picked up after
much trouble and was found to contain
a miniature automobile and a mimeo
graph statement, as follows:
"The Factory association of Wichita
Falls, at a recent banquet, decided
upon a unique contest —1. e., to place
small models of different articles man
ufactured here in bottles specially
fashioned by a local bottle factory,
these bottles to be cast upon the waters
of the Wichita river, and SIOO to be
paid to the man picking up a bottle
first, the nurse to be furnished by the
nineteen factory men whose bottles are
overlooked. The finder of this bottle
should wire the Wichita Falls Factory
association, and, provided It be the
first notice, SIOO will be paid.”
Captain Morgan, on his arrival at
Galveston, sent the telegram and
proved to be the first discovereu. The
bottle had floated 50 miles in the Wich
ita river, 250 miles in Red river, 200
miles down the Mississippi and over
600 miles into the gulf, well into the
Strait of Yucatan.
Captain Morgan bought refresh
ments for every sailor on the Two Sis
ters of Panay, as well as for everybody
else who happened to be in reach after
he received his SIOO.

fense." He said that when he started
to make the levy. Mrs. Sockwell threat
ened him and opened a bureau drawer,
as though to get a pistol. He said he
merely pulled his pistol and advised
her not to start any trouble, remarking

home depending on him, and that he
would be forced to defend his life.’'
Acting Recorder Guess bound him
over to the state courts in bond of S4OO,
on the charges of carrying a concealed
weapon and drawing a pistol.

Captain J. P. Marchant, the newly
elected mayor of Girard, Ala., takes the
oath of office in October he will become
the first Socialist mayor in Alabama.

party, and the second was that the
people of Girard had grown tired of
ring rule. The election of Marchant
was the first defeat the ring had en
countered in twenty years. He was
fought by practically all of the city
officials, county officials and strong in
fluences in Girard and Russell county,
