friends, but it is a distinct loss to the
< ountry at large.”
Representative Adamson, nf Geor
gia, chairman of the House* Interstate
Commerce Committee, said:
“A great lawyer and a great states
man is dead. Senator Racon was one
of the constructive men of this coun
try. He never allowed himself to be

of the day. His counsel will he sorely
missed In the affairs of this nation."
Representative Howard, of Georgia,
said :
“The death of Senator Bacon came
hn such a shock to me that I can hard
ly express at this time my grief. It
Is my opinion that Senator Bacon wis
the ablest statesman tne South has
produced since the days of the Civil
War. Undoubtedly his death is a blow
to the entire country.”
From Speaker Clark.
Speaker <’lark said:
Senator Racon had a long and
hrillb nt career in : »o. Senate. He was
a very able man and he will lie greatly
missed.”

Together, he to the Senate and I to
iho House 1 consider that his serv

have been invaluable.”
Representative Hardwick, of Geor
gia. said:
"Senator Bacon wax one of the most
uiahad and tn ■ ' ill ’he
representatives that the State has had

Serving Fourth Term.
Augustus Octavius Bacon, of Bibb
County, at the time of his death was
serving his fourth term as a Senator
of the United States from Georgia.
He was the first Senator In the his
tory of the State to be accorded this
honor, and the first Senator in the
United States to be elected by popu
lar vote, under the seventeenth
amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion. Ho was first elected in 1894.
Senator Bacon was born in Bryan
County, Georgia, on October 20. 1839.
received a common school education
in Liberty and Troup, and was grad
uated from the academic department
nr the University nf Georgia in 1859,
and from tlje law’ department in 1860.
He bore the honorary degrees of
A. M. and L. L. D., conferred upon
him by his alma mater. During the
civil war the Senator served for two
years with honor and distinction,
holding the rank of major and ad
jutant of the Ninth Georgia in active
service, and later the rank of captain
in provisional service. At the close
of the war he took up the practice of
law' in Macon, and that was his home
at the time of his death.
Career Most Distinguished.
Senator Bacon’s political .career was
most distinguished, but was not
marked by uniform success. lie
served as a member of the Legisla
ture several terms, and was Speak
er of the House for two terms. His
greatest ambition originally was to
be Go vernor, and althouKh he made
several hard and all hut winning
lights to reach that goal, lie never
aueveeded In the State convention
of 1883 he came within one vote of
the Democratic nomination, which
was equivalent to an election After
this he retired to private life, de
termined not to seek office again,
loiter, however, he changed hl« mind,
became a candidate tor the Senate,
and won that fight in 1894. thus be
ginning the most distinguished period
of hl* career, which culminated only
in hie, death.
Senator Bacon held high elation In
the Senate lie was chairman of
Foreign Relations Committee at the
time of his death, and his physical
breakdown is largely attributed to
hard work on that committee, occa
sioned by the Mexican crisis and
complications abroad.

before the spring of 1912. H W. Bos
well was an attorney at law, prac
ticing and residing in Atlanta; that
tlie waid Boswell for aeveral years,
while he wax here had the reputa
tion of ‘standing in’ with the turnkeys
at the station house of the city of At
lanta. and especially with the Raid
Thomas Bayne; that he Htated al
will that he and Tom were partners
in casea; that they divided fees; that
he would go round with large Hums of
money m two rolls and without hesi
tation would stat** how he made it.
and that on the day of his arrest for
crookedness, as charged, that he stat
ed to me (S. <’ <’rane), in the pres
ence of Mr. John VV. (’ox. an attorney
at Jaw. that lie wan tired of bel/ig
fleeced and robbed of his money by
the turnkeys; that they were nothing
but 'grafters,' and as they were trying
to get rid of him, that he would go
anti tell the truth to the men up
higher; that they were trying tu
break up his practice, kh he had cli
ents and friends on the outside that
put him next, when cases were made
In the Polite Court, and he would
refuse to divide up with the turnkeys
any more.
"He stated to me that he would go
with me to the Mayor and lay the
whole workings of the department be
fore him. or to the Chief of Police;
that I advised him to do so.
"I charge that the said Boswe'l
made the statement as to his deal
ings with the turnkeys in the pr
ence of Alex Kvans. a reporter, sev
eral months before he was arrested,
and was forced to retire from th°
practice. 1 charge that his conduct
with the turnkeys was notorious In
Atlanta, and there was no effort made
to conceal any of his acts or any part
of his conduct; that at one time he
was charged with stealing hay, one
little armful, by a person who did no’
like him, and the policeman In the
department defended his conduct as
being that of a good man; his char
acter and con. uct when he was ar
rested was no worse than it had been
for several years."
Can’t Swear to Charges.
"As I stated to Chief Beavers at the
two conferences I held with him, and
at the lime that I made the verbal
charges before Hie Board of Police
Commissioners, and in conference
with the subcommittee appointed for
discussion of the charges, that of my
own knowledge, so far as the real
facts were concerned, I know noth
ing myself, but had to rely upon facts
that were known to exist by other
persons to support the charges.
"Now, as I have no Knowledge of
the facts to support the charges that
• make herein, it is impossible for me
to verify this complaint by oath, and.
as your rule of procedure requires an
oath to the complaint before the same
can he tiled so that a hearing may be
had un it, I am deprived of any stand
ing as a complainer before your board
by law."
Crane asks the Police Board to act
if he himself has no status as an ac-
< user.
chairman Johnson, of the subcom
mittee, said that no decision would be
reached ns to the status of Crane or
as to the disposition of his charges
until they had been carefully review
ed and the matter considered in the
light of the rules of the hoard which
insist that all charges shall be under
cm th. If the subcommittee recom
mends to the commission that an in
vestigation be made, a special meet
ing probably will be held next week.

Tennessee Business Man and i
Reformer Indorses Stand
for Better Prisons.
Frank E. Mahoney, secretary and <
general manager of the Rhodes-Ma
honey Furniture Company, of Chat- ‘
tanooga. Is id Atlanta buying goods
for a big special furniture sale to be
conducted by his firm soon.
Mr. Mahoney la one of the remark- ;
able business men of the nation, and
Is known wherever success In busi
ness obtains. He is an'ex-president
of the Chattanooga Chamber of Com
merce, is vice president of the State ,
Retail Furniture Dealers’ Association
of Tennessee, and Is the president of
the John How’ard Association of Ten
nessee, a splendid and highly effective
organization working for prison bel
ie rment and reform.
Mr. Mahoney, as advertising man
ager of one of the largest and most
successful furniture houses in New
York for fourteen years, used exclu
sively and with amazing success the
Hearst newspapers.
He says frankly tnat. In bls opinion,
there are no newspapers in any sec
tion of the nation so surely effective
as the Hearst papers. He places them
in a class by themselves, when re- ,
suits arc looked for.
Mr. Mahoney also sympathizes
warmly with the Hearst newspapers
in the fight they continuously are
waging for prison betterment and re
form everywhere. This is a subject
very close to Mr. Mahoney’s heart,
and his ideas run parallel to those
of the Hearst papers on this vitally
important matter.
In his personal appearance Mr. Ma
honey bears a striking resemblance
to the late Kyrle Bellew, the famous
actor. The Chattanooga man used tn
be mistaken for the actor, and rather
enjoyed the complications sometimes
arising from the situation.

The resolution calls Dr. Hopkins a

and a pioneer of that new education
which would make knowledge demo

would place its dwelling in the labo

DONALDSON
IS SUSTAINED
IN REPORT
Barracks Men Assure Board He
Did Not Receive Supplies
Needed by County.
That Captain Tom Donaldson, for
mer head of the county’s Public
Works Department, took only such
supplies from the county commissary
as the county did not need was the
report filed with the County Commis
sion Saturday by the officials at the
barracks.
The report, signed by N. Lyon,
bookkeeper; A. C. Coker, yard guard;
A. C. Thompson, transfer clerk, and
P. B. Gorman, garden guard, declares
that Captain Donaldson was supplied
with vegetables twice a week during
the summer, and also was supplied
with fresh meats when hogs at the
barracks were killed.
The convicts were never deprived
of anything because of the supplies
furnished to the former chief of the
department, the report asserts.
Letters Commend Donaldson.
The report was filed at the request
of Captain Donaldson, w-ho had been
directed by the commission to fur
nish the board with an idea of the
amount of the county’s supplies he
had used at his home. The board will
act upon the report later.
A half dozen or so letters from for
mer members of the board accompa
nied the report. All of them spoke in
praise of Captain Donaldson's char
acter, and said it has been a custom
for the married men in the employ ot
the county to get vegetables and fresh
meat from the commissary.
This, the letters said, was regarded
as a part of the men’s compensation.
The unmarried men are boarded by
the county.
Statement Resented.
An expression in a letter written to
Captain Donaldson by Captain Jack
Spalding, a former member of the
board, was resented by the Commis
sioners.
Mr. Spalding wrote that, with Cap
tain Donadlson out of the way, it
would be easier for the board “to put
things over.”
“It was an unfortunate expression,”
commented General Andersen, "and I
am sure Captain Spalding didn’t mean
it as a reflection on any of us. I
am sorry he used It, but I think we
are big enough not to take offense.’
At Saturday’s meeting 97 acres of
land on Baker’s Ferry road, near the
river, was tendered to the State as a
site for a training school for girls. It
is understood the State will accept the
land, and begin the work of con
structing the school some time in the
summer.

We heard a man say the other mom- J
Ing that the abbreviation for February— fl
Feb.—means Freeze every body, and fl
that man looked frozen in his ulster. It fl
was apparent that he needed the kind ■
of warmth that stays, the warmth that W
reaches from head to foot, all over the j
body. We could have told him from
personal knowledge that Hood’s Sarsa
parilla gives permanent warmth, It in
vigorates the blood and speeds it along
through artery and vein, and really fits
men and women, boys and girls, to en
joy cold weather and resist the attacks
of disease. It gives the right kind of
warmth, stimulates and strengthens at
the same time, and all Its benefits are
lasting. There may be a suggestion in
this for you.—Advt.
