SHERIFF WILBURN DIES
AT MONTICELLO, GA.
Bjtoclnl to The Georgian.
Monttcello, Ga~ June 29.—Sheriff W.
H. Wilburn, of jksper county, after an
lllneas of a few days, died yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr. Wilburn
has been sheriff for ten years, and has
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In reply to Governor Nortben, I have
this to say:
First* I never opened my mouth to hinder
the Torroy-Alexnnder meeting. I never
have said the meeting did not do good.
On the contrary, I have said if did, no
doubt, accomplish good, but that nieetlugs
of thin kind not t tils one any more than
others of the same kind—do disorganise
tho local church; do Lav** n teudenej to
lessen the confidence of tho people In the
ability of the local pastor to win souls.
It seems to me that any oue with eyes
open can see that It has come to pass
that you can't eullst the cooperation <-f
the people In a movement to save lost men
unless you do a lot of advertising, or have
Something Beaaatlon.il. In other words, the
In any way afreets the local church may
be burtfuL I have never doubted the s'
ferity of Dr. Torrey or the Business Mci
longue, bat simply have an opinion ns to
final results of a meeting of this sort.
As to the cost of the meeting, I have
had absolutely -nothing to say, for if the
meeting snvod one rnnu and cost ten thou
sand dollars, that soul was worth tho
money if the meeting did not hurt some-
where else. The governor's reference to thi
fire the - *—

another.
What did I any and what did I mean?
_ meant that Jr you will advertise any
local pastor as Ur. Torrey was advertised,
he In his own church may do more good
than an imported man. Suppose Governor
Northen would spend ns much time In
* f and advertlfitag a “
urch. supported by
own i hm i li >ini|ini 11 il Iiji n i nWi|inh i
other Influential men, does nnr one doubt
that the meeting would be really more sue-1
cessful In that locality? Now put all the
lending men in nil the churches to work
talking and advertising tho work In their
own ci.mmunlty, giving the local t>n«t..r
the same support they gave to Dr. Torrsy,
and does nny ono doubt that much more
good would nave been accomplished!
I "nut," you say, “they won't do It."
Well, that is exactly my point. What la
the report of nttendspee from the Rundny
night congregations of tho churches of this
city, as a rule? I am told it is very small.
Why? We are waiting for n new matt or

and he was tolling me of what happened
at the Baptist ministers’ meeting, and the
conversation naturally continued on the
seme subject. I really forgetting that I

UPTON SINCLAIR’S
FAMOUS NOVEL
THE JUNGLE
TELLS TRAGEDY OF
PACKINGTOWN
CHAPTER VIII.
Yet even by this deadly winter the
germ nt hope was not to be kept from
•proutlng In their hearts. It waa Just
at this time that the great adventure
befell Marija.
The victim was Tamoszlus Kuszelka,
who played the violin. Everybody
lauzhed at them, for Tamoszlus was
petite and frail, and Marlja could have
picked him up and carried him off un
der one arm. But perhaps that was
why she fascinnted him; the sheer vot
ume of MarIJa's energy was over
whelming. That first night at the
wedding Tamoszlus had hardly taken
bis eyes off her, and later on, when
be rarae to find that she had really
the heart of a baby, her voice and her
violence ceased to terrify him. and
be got the habit of.coming to pay her
visits on Sunday afternoons. There
wa, no place to entertain company,
•zeept tn the kitchen. In the mldet of
the family, and Tamoszlus would sit
there with hi* hat between his knees,
•ever saying more than half a dozen
words at a time, and turning red In
the face before ftp managed to eay
tho,e; until finally Jurgls would clap
him upon the back in hi* hearty way
crying, "Come, now, brother, give ua a
tune.”
And then Tamoszlus'* face would
light up and he would get out hi* fid
dle, tuck It under hi* chin. And forth
with the soul of him would flame up
and become eloquent—It was almost an
Impropriety, for all the while hi* gase
would be fixed upon Marlja 1 * fsce, un
til she would begin to turn red and
lower her eyes. There wa* no resist
ing the music of Tamosslus, however:
even the children would sit awed and
wondering, and the tear* would run
down Teta Elzbfeta's cheek*. A
wonderful privilege It wa* to be thus
admitted Into the soul of a man of
genius, to be allowed to share the ec
stasies and the agonies of his Inmost
life.
Then there were other benefit* ac
crulrg to Marlja from this friendship—
benefit* of a more subetantlal nature.
People paid Tamoexius big money to
come and make music on stats occa
sions, and also' they would Invite him
O parties and festivals, knowing well
that he was too good-natured to come
without his Oddly, • and that having
“fought It, he could be made to play
while others danced. Once he made
hold to ask Marlja to accompany him
to such a party, and Marija accepted,
to his great delight—after which he
■over went anywhere without her,
while |f the celebration were given
by frlenda of hi*, he would Invite the
tf" °f the family also. In. any case,
Morlja would bring back o huge pock
etful of cakes and sanBwIches for the
New Minton China.

children, and stories of the good things
she herself had managed to consume.
She was compelled, at these parties, to
spend most of her time at the refresh
ment table, for she would not danco
with anybody except other women and
very old men; Tamoszlus was of an
excitable temperament and afflicted
with a frantic Jealousy, and any un
married man who ventured to put his
arm about the ample walqf of Marlja
would be certain to throw tho orches
tra out of tune.
It waa a great help to a person who
had to toll all the week to bo able to
look forward to come euch relaxation
as this on Saturday night*. The fam
ily were too poor and too hardworked
to make many acquaintances; In Pack-
ingtown, ns a rule, pcoplo know only
their pear neighbors and shopmates,
and so the place Is like a myriad of
little country villaget. But now there
was a member of the family who was
permitted to travel and widen her ho
rizon; and so each week there would
be new personalities to talk about—
how so-and-so was dressed, and where
she worked, and what she got, and
whom she was in love with; and how
this man had Jilted hi* girl, and how
she had quarrelled with the other girl,
and what had passed between them;
and how another man. heat his w-lfe,
anil spent-all her earnings upon drink,
and pawned her very clothes. Some
people would have scorned this talk
as gossip; hut then one has to talk
about what one knows.
It was one Saturday night, as they
were coming home from a wedding,
that Tamosslus found courage and set

with her prepoeterou* soft-heartedness,
she would Insist upon spending a good

a while, but there was no telling—It
had been known to stay closed until
way Into.tho summer. The prospects
were bad at present, for truckmen
who worked in the utore-rooma said
that these were piled up-to the cell-
inga, so flint the firm could not have
found room for another week's out
put of canB. And they hod turned off
three-quarters of these men, which
was a still worso sign, since it vnoant
that thero were no orders to be filled.
It was all a swindle, can-painting,
said the girls—you were crazy with
dollght because you ' were making
twelve or fourteon dollars a week,
and Having half of It; hut you hud to
spend It all keeping alive while you
were out, and ao your pay was really
only half what you thought.
Marlja came home, and because she
vmm ;i person v ho could not rest with
out danger of explosion, they first had
a great house-cleaning, nnd then she
set out to search Packlngtown fora job
to fill up the gap. As nearly nil the
the canning establishments were shut
down, nnd all the girls hunting work,
it will be readily understood that Marl
ja did not find any. Then she took
to trying the stores and saloons, and
when this failed she even travelled
over into tho far-distant regions near
the lake front, where lived the rich
people in great palaces, and begged
there tor some sort of work that could
be done by a person who did not know
English.
The men upon the killing-beds felt
alao tho effects of the slump which had
turned Marija out; but they felt It In
a different way, nnd a way which made
Jurgls understand at last all their bit
terness. The big packers did not turn
their hands off and close down, liko
the canning factories; but they began
to run for shorter and shorter hours.
They had always required the men
to be on the killing-beds and ready
for work at 7 o'clock, although thero
was almost never any work to be
done till tho buyers out In tho yards
gotten to u rk, arid some «uttl*-
l.ad i ..r.i** •»\"*• r tl • ■ Ml"- That would
often be 10 or 11 o'clock, which was
bad enough, (n all conscience; but
now, In tho slack season, they would
perhapM not have a thing for their
to do till late In the afternoon. And
so they would have to (onf around tn
n place where the thermometer might
be twenty degrees below zero. At first
one would see them running about, or
skylarking with each other, trying to
keep warm, but before the day was
over they w'ould become quite chilled
through nnd exhausted, nnd when the
cattle Anally came, ao near froxen that
to move was an agony. AndAhen sud
denly the place would spring into ac
tivity, and the merciless "speeding-up"
would begin!
There were weeks at a time when
Jurgls went home after such a day
as this with not more than two hours’
work to hfs credit—which meant about
thirty-five rents. There were many
days when the total was less than half
an hour, and others when there was
none at all. The general average was
six hours a day, which meant for Jur
gls about $6 a week; and this six hours
of work would bo done* after standing
on the killing-bed till 1 o’clock, or per
haps even 2 or 4 o'clock In the Af
ternoon. Like as not there would come
a rush of cattle at the very end of the
day, which the men would have to dis
pose of beforl they went home, often
working by electric light till 9 or 10,
or even 12 or 1 O’clock, and without
a single Instant for a bite of sugper.
TL* in*-n \\*-re at Che men y nt the|hl
ca'.tb* Perhaps the buyers would b
holding oft for better pil
could scare the shippers Into thinking
that they meant to buy nothing that
day, they could get their own terms.
For soma reason the cost of fodder
for cattlo In the yarAa was much above
the market price—and you were not
allowed to bring your own fodder!
Then, too, a number of cars were apt
to Arrive late In the day, now that the
roads were blocked with snow, and tho
packers would buy their cattlo at
night, and get them cheaper and then
would come Into play their Iron-clad
rule, that all cattlo must be killed
the same day they were bought.
There was no u*« kicking about this
—there had hoen ono delegation after
another to see the packers about It,
only to be tbld that It was tho rule,
and that there wan not tho slightest
chance of It ever being altered. And
so on Christmas Eve Jurgls w'orked
till nearly 1 o’clock In the morning, and
on Chrlstmns Day he was on the klll-
lng-bed at 7 o’clock.
All this was bad; and yet It was
not tho worst. For after all the hard
work a man did, he was paid for only
part of It. Jurgls had once been among
those who scoffed at the Idea of these
huge concerns cheating, and so now
he could appreciate the bitter Irony of
the fact that Jt was precisely their size
which enabled them to do It with Im
punity. One of tho rules on tho kill
ing beds was that a man who wait one
minute late wa* docked an hour; nnd
this was economical, for he waa made
to work the balance of the hour; he
waa not allowed to stand around and
wait And on the other hand. If he
came ahead of time he got no pay for
nllled that he was willing to do his
"hare. Ileforo another month was by,
all tho working members of ids family
had union enrds add wore their union
buttons conspicuously and with pride.
For fully n week they were qulto bllss-
fuily happy, thinking that belonging to
a union meant an end of all their
troubles.
Dut only ten days after sho hnd
Joined, MarIJa's canning factory closed
down, nnd that blow quite staggered
them. They could not understand why
tho union hud not prevented It, nnd tho
very ilrst time she attended a meet
ing Mnrljn got up and made a speech
about it. It was a business meeting,
nnd was transacted In English, hut
thnt mado no difference to .Marlja; she
said what was In her, and all the
pounding of the chairman's gavel nnd
all the uproar and confusion In tho
room could not prevail. Quite npnrt
from her own troubles, she was boil
ing over with a general sense of the
Injustice of It, and site told what she
thought ot tho packers, nnd what sho
glit of n. world where such things
wore allowed to happen; and then,
