REFUGEES
rive Men Flee Tennessee Con
struction Camp and Tell of
Barbarous Treatment.
Declaring they were forced to work
at the point of guns and beaten with
ghlbs when they protested, five Intel
ligent white men have appealed to the
Salvation Army in Atlanta for aid dur
ing the past week. They had escaped
from a construction camp at*the Ten
nessee Power Company’s dam near
Parksville, Tenn.
In the last three years more than 150
men from the same place have been
aided by the Salvation Army, said Ma
jor Horace Dodd, who has been in
charge of the local relief station for
that time. All of them tell the same
story, he said, atid Tfiost of them bore
bruises and cuts to bear our their
statements. Some men have been scar
red so badly they were unable to work
for weeks, while others suffered broken
bones and deep cuts.
Lawrence Cardenny. nineteen years
old, from Philadelphia, appeared at the
Salvation Army's hotel several days
ago, along with a number of others
who also had escaped in the dead of
night while tb ( e guards around the camp
were not vigilant.
Cripple Forced to Do Heavy Work.
•Cardenny is suffering from a mal
formation of the right arm which prac
tically deprives him of the use of that
member, yet, he declared, when he ar
rived at the dam the transportation
agent forced him to take up pick and
shovel and labor beside others who
also had been forced into the heaviest
of the work.
Three weeks ago he protested, after
having -worked a single day. The trans
portation agent theit took a club, he
said, and beat him severely. Then he
took his pistol and smashed the boy’s
mouth with the handle. As the boy
told his story he showed old bruises
on his body and pointed to scars caused
by cuts which he declared were in
flicted by the agent’s blows.
The same day, he added, nineteen
men escaped from the camp. Four
teen were caught and brought back be
fore the muzzle of shotguns. The agent
and guards took clubs and beat them
while other guards stood by with load
ed guns to keep them from fighting
back. Some of the men were beaten
»o severely they could hardly crawl
to their tents. That night seven es
caped, Cardenny being one of the
seven. He came to Atlanta with two
of them and lodged at the Salvation
headquarters, where he has been since,
endeavoring to earn sufficient money
to take him back to his Northern home.
500 Held Virtual Slaves, He Says.
The boy, who appears to be unusually
intelligent, said he was a plumber’s
helper and was employed in that capac
ity by the New York employment head
quarters of the Tennessee Power Com
pany. He was .old there he would be
given light work which he, even with
his maimed arm, could accomplish, and
that his wages would be good.
It took six days to make the trip
from New York to Parksville, he said,
and 33 men were with him. The day
after their arrival, though most of the
men had entered into contracts to do
skilled labor, the agent forced them at
the point of pistols to take up pick
and shovel.
* There are five camps on the work
now being done by the company, and
something like 100 men are employed
in each camo. Each night, Cardenny
declared, many men brave the danger
of the guards’ guns and escape from
their peonage. Most of them arc
Northerners, and on this and their lack
of knowledge of the country the men
in charge of the power work expect to
be able to hold them.

DEMOCRATS ACCUSE
TAFT OF POLITICS IN
POSTOFFICE ORDER
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.—That an effort
will be made to suspend President Taft’s
executive order of October 15 whereby
were placed under the civil service be
: came known today, when Representative
Cordeli Hull, of Tennessee, said the Dem
ocrats in congress who are already in
’ Washington have conferred informally on
the subject, and that there was an over
i whelming sentiment in favor of the order
being revoked.
. Representative Hull declared that
. President-elect Wilson, under the civil
, service law. would have the power to re
voke President Taft's order.
"Coming at the time and under the
■ circumstances that it did,” said Mr. Hull,
! "this order of the president is patently
steeped in the deepest political dye and
t constitutes within itself a gross vlola
, tion of the letter, the spirit and the
whole purpose of tlie civil service law,
' because it places this immense horde of
Republicans—to the exclusion of Demo
crats—permanently In office Without ex
amination or test as to merit or effi
ciency.
"If carried out, this order would make
, honest civil service a farce and prove the
I greatest setback to its administration,
.'extension and progress in a generation.
,11 have heard of no demand for this re
. cent roder of President Taft, save from
the 36,000 Republican postmasters in
question.”

Unerring Nose of
Caddie Saves Golfer.
Almost a tragedy resulted from the
snow on the East Lake golf course yes
terday afternoon, and for a time the
clubmen who had taken refuge in the
Scotch room were busy organizing relief
parties. Hugh Adams, one of the most
intrepid golfers of the club, had been
lost In the snowstorm far out on tne
links, and for hours his safety was in
doubt. Only the indomitable courage
and unerring nose of his two-foot cad
die brought him safely home to the
clubhouse.
Mr. Adams had won his way, stroke
by stroke, into the farthest north of
the links. The day was cold and chill,
one of those gray days which rriake the
nineteenth hole a goal worth fighting
for. Then a skurry of wind came up,
the white flakes began to fall, and
Adams and his faithful guide were
wrapped in an impenetrable veil of
white
For hours they wandered, struggling
on through the drifts which soon grew
ankle deep and penetrated even the
heavy green stockings of the explorer
The clubhouse had vanished from view.
Mr. Adams had forgotten his compass
and was drifting before the wind. Soon
he came on tracks in the snow and fol
lowed these. After an hour’s struggle
onward he came across more tracks.
Horros! He had been following his
own trail. He was going around in the
circle which means death.
Then spake the faithful caddie boy;
said he:
"If you’ll follow me, boss, 1 kin take
you in.”
Mr. Adams surrendered and fallowed
the boy. When they readied the club
house and showers of thanks ami small
change had been bestowed on the cad
die, the anxious watchers asked:
“How did you find your way iiome,
boy ?”
"Who? Me?” returned th<- guide.
“Shucks' 1 kin smell that yeller licker
a mile off, speshully when it’s hot.”

SENATOR IS DEM
James Gordon, of Mississippi,
Who Won Fame in Single
Speech. Expires.
OKOLONA, MISS., Nov. 29.-—Ex-
United States Senator James Gordon,
' “the Gentleman from Mississippi,” died
I here yesterday. Senator Gordon
gained national fame during a brief
term in the senate chielly through a
"brotherly love” speech.

and was recently appointed game war
den for his county.
James Gordon sat in the senate of
the United States from tlie beginning

1910, when his successor, Leßoy Percy,
took the oath for the unexpired term of
Senator McLaurin, to which Gordon
had been appointed, during legislative
recess, by the governor of Mississippi
Senator Gordon achieved instafat popu
larity In the senate by reason of his
kindly disposition, and his evident de
sire to heal all sectional wounds that
might have been left by the war. He
was a Confederate veteran, thoroughly
reconstructed.
His first and last speech in the sen
ate was delivered after he had ceased,
as a matter of fact, to be a member of
that body, and it won nation-wide ap
plause for Its note of brotherly love and
appeal for peace between the North and
tile South.
Senator Percy was elected to the sen
ate on February 22. and instantly, un
der the law, Gordon ceased to be a

was delivered on February 24. Senator

pronounced it one of the most wonder
ful speeches he ever had heard.

United States, and
since everybody is
doing it now, one
further suggestion
from Georgia will
not be amiss,
even if it hits no
where in particu
lar.
A whole lot of
Georgia people
believe that the
president" could go
much farther and
do very nruch
worse than tender
a portfolio to for
mer Congressman
William M. How
ard, of the Eighth
district, succeeded
two years ago in congress by Samuel J.
Tribble.
Mr. Howard would make a most ex
cellent secretary of the interior, or
would fit equally as well into the at
torney generalship.
Although extremely modest and in
clined, in away, to hide his light under
a bushel —certainly, he never has
sought notoriety—Mr. Howard is
known in Washington as one of the
very ablest men that ever sat in con
gress from the South. Indeed, it is a
fact that John Sharp Williams, now a
senator from Mississippi, frequently
said, when leader of the Democratic
minority in the house, that there were
"more brains in ’Bill’ Howard's head”
than there were in anybody else's head
on the Democratic side. The Missis
sippian was an open, frank and enthu
siastic admirer of Mr. Howard’s un
questioned statesmanship.
If Howard, of Georgia, should be
made secretary of the interior, ha
would make a secretary pretty much
after the fashion of Hoke Smith. And
there is not a public official in Wash
ington today who, was there when
Hoke Smith was secretary of the in
terior, who will not tell you that the
present junior senator from Georgia
was one of the most thorough and effi
cient secretaries the interior depart
ment ever had.
If Mr. Wilson is looking for a busi
nesslike, painstaking, perfectly compe
tent and not over-sensational secretary
of the interior, he can find him in Wil
liam M. Howard, of Georgia. No mis
take about that. He is full size for the
job.

for which office he received a number of
votes in the popular state election, de
clares that he will take no further steps
to secure the office, in the face of the
governor’s refusal to commission him.
Mr. Prirce says:
“There has been a good deal said as
to what course I would pursue in case
the governor refused to commission me
at present, and I have received num

DUBLIN, GA., Nov. 29. —The body
of Mrs. Hattie Summers, aged 84 years,
was buried today in Laurens Hill cem
etery, near Dudley, following her death
yesterday from burns received when
her clothing caught fire from an open
grate.
At the time she was burned Mrs.
Summers rushed into the room of her
daughter, Mrs. W. F. Harvard, a solid
sheet of flame. The one-armed hus
band of Mrs. Harvard was unable to
extinguish the fire. Screams brought
assistance from neighbors, who rolled
Mrs. Summers in a rug and smothered
the blaze. All of her hair was burned
from her head, her face was burned to

roasted. Her Intense suffering was
partly relieved by unconsciousness,
which lasted until her death.
Mrs. Summers was a native of the

She is survived by one daughter, Mrs.

as many inquiring friends, I take this
mode of saying that as the governor
seems to be positive in the position
that he has taken, I do not care to car
ry the matter any further or to go into

ernor’s decision as being final and will
wait patiently until the meeting of the

Colonel Clayton Robson, of Milledge
ville and other points, has returned
from Gay Manhattan, where for a
month he has been seeing the gights.
Colonel Robson, who knows more
people in Georgia than anybody, espe
cially those of a political turn of mind,
went to New York on November 1 for
the express purpose of being in "the
biggest town in the country’” when the
Wilson and Marshall triumph was re
corded, as he confidently expected it
to be.
The victory was so overwhelming and
so conclusive that it required exactly
23 days after election for Colonel Rob
son to finish his celebrating. The Mil
ledgevillelte says everybody in New
York is glad the Democrats won out,
and an unprecedented rush for the pie
counter is anticipated in all quarters.
The Floyd county grand jury, which
adjourned Thursday, has requested the
county’s representatives in the next
legislature to introduce a bill forbidding
absolutely the sale of pistols in Floyd
county. f a
It was pointed out by the grand jury
that crime is on the Increase In the
county, that the prohibition law is vio
lated constantly and flagrantly and that
many citizens "tote" pistols with, im
punity and in no fear of the law or the
authorities. i
The grand jury says it found many
instances of violation of the prohibition
law that should have been returned sos
prosecution, but that it frequently was
utterly impossible to bring a true bill
legally, because of the reluctance of
many witnesses to testify to facts ths
grand jury felt morally sure existed.
The grand jury's returns have set
many Floyd county people to thinking,
for the superior court of Floyd has been
very vigorous in its prosecutions of
prohibition law violators of late.
In all probability, another law wilt
be introduced in the next legislature
along the line of the late Tippins bill
—but not by Mr. Tippins, as he Isn’t
coming back —and in all further prob
ability, it will not pass.
Indeed, It is doubtful whether it wilt
be possible to effect any additional pro
hibition legislation in Georgia for some
time to come, as the average legislator
who will discuss the matter at all is
frankly opposed to opening the ques
tion again for any purpose whatever.
There Is one member of the forth
coming house, however, who already has
announced his Intention of offering a
bill modeled after the Tippins measure,
and he will make a vigorous fight to
pass it.
A new residence suburb has been
opened in the pretty little city of Hart
well, in Hart county, and the widest,
stralghtest, and. most important street
in it has been named "Slaton avenue,”
In honor of Georgia’s governor-elect.
And, as Bismark Moore would say,
that beats having a five-cent cigar
named after you, anyway!
