If old man J. O. Rawlins still wants
to die on the gallows and is tired of the
efforts being made by Attorney John R.
Cooper fn his behalf, he will get I|is
wish, and it will take an act of the
legislature or 'some action just as
strong to prevent him from paying the
death penalty at the end of a rope.
After twice taking the old man’s
case to the supreme court of the
United States, and all tlje time having
Rawlins quoted In the newspapers as
not appreciating these efforts, Attorney
Cooper has now decided to let Rawlins
hang. If hang he wants to.
Attorney Cooper has Just returned to
Macon from Atlanta and he declared
that so far as the old man was con
cerned his efforts at keeping him from
the gallows were at an end, providing
the old man wants to die. and the
Jell Is to the effect thl
of delay and wants to pay his penalty.
Will Fight for Boys.
But with the two sons of the old man,
Milton and Jesse, the ease is different,
and Attorney Cooper declared he would
not let them hang. At the same time
he took occasion to express himself
strongly about the prison commission
and declared a scheme was on foot to
make him atop fighting for the lives of
the iads.
Their father, together with the ne
gro, Alf Moore, In sentenced to die on,
December 4, and the date set for the
execution of the two boys is oi
cumber 7. Attorney Cooper declares
this arrangement only gives him thn
day* in which to work for the twy
and he says further that the fixing «
the date at this time was nothing more
than a scheme to block his efforts.
Even at that he says he has not
quit, and that If the prison commission
does not take some action In the near
future he will take the cai>cs of the boys
again in the courts and prevent the
high rherlff of Lowndes from springing
the. tivp on December 7. Tomorrow
Attorney Cooper Is going to Valdosta
for a conference with old man J. O.
Itaw 1ms and if he still says he Is nnx
lows to die with Alf Moore on the gal
low* in the hope of hearing the negro
moke a confession that will show' the
two boys Innocent of the bloody work
that snuffed out the lives of the Carter
children, Cooper will let him die.

Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 20.—Charges of
Commander Robert Peary’s mistreat
ment of bis crew, of hardships imposed
unnecessarily on the passage south, be
side which the suffering* of the frozen
north were as'nothing, of unhealthy
quarters—In short, a general criticism
of the man who has pushed farthest
north, It contained in a letter from one
of the Roosevelt’s crew, which was
received here today.
J. Shortall Is the complainant, be
wrote the letter on October 22 at Hope-
dale. It was forwarded on the ship
Virginian Lake to Sydney. N. 8., where
It was mailed to friends In Ottawa.
8hip Slung Three Rudders.
Shortall writes that conditions had
become bad when -they reached
Hopedale that the mate, four sailors
and four firemen refused to go further
on the ship, which- wee {leaking badly
through its crushed stern. The Roose
velt had alung Its third, rudder, which
was but a poor makeshift. Two rud
ders were carried away on the down
passage.
The members of the crew had little
to eat and were living In squalor,
short all around. Thoir experience*
were worse, he wrote, than the hard
ships they endured In the Polar re
giona.
Would Not Go Again,
Shortall says they had the hardest
time on the voyage of any crew that
ever was afloat. He declares that none
of them would go north again under
any circumstances.
One of the crew of tho Virginian
Lake, who boarded the Roosevelt at
Hopedale, stated the crew told him the
vessel liud three boilers when It left
Sydney, but while off Greenland two
of them burst. The crew alto said the
ship was not strong. It wus totally
unfit for Arctic work, and aa one of
them put It, ’’after getting Into heavy
ice Jt came together Ilk* an- accordion

On the way north the men said that
they landed part of the stores, Peary
telling them that In fifteen months
there would be a relief ship sent to
them. Rut such a ship never came,

SEN. MORGAN WANTS
ANTI-NEGRO PLANK
IN PARTY PLA TEORM
Alabama Statesman
Says South Should
Demand It.
Washington, Nov. 20.—’’Resolved that
the Democratic party of the United
States Is, and has always bben, .a
white man's party.”
This plank Senator J, T. Morgan, of
Alabama, believes should be Inserted
in the next national platform. He goes
further. He believes that some state,
through Its delegate* assembled, should
press this plank before the convention's
committee on resolutions, with the dec
laration that the delegates will with
draw In case It Is not considered.
Alabama to Insist.
He would urge that the plank come
from a delegation representing a North
ern state, but If such Is not the wish
of a delegation, rather than have the
subject master eliminated, he advocates
its presentalfon by a Southern state.
His own state, Alabama, comes flrst on
the alphabetical list, and the high re
gard In which the senator’s views nre
held In that state insures that Its dele
gates to the next national convention
plank. Tb*t they will be enforced by
other Southern states goes without
saying.
At the St. Louis national convention
In l»0t a auggeitlon was made along
similar lines, though not so ciear-cul,
brief and forcible. The resolution com
mittee there promptly threw It out.
The Eastern contingent, having nomi
nated the candidate, was conceded tho
right to write the platform, and to the
disgust of many Southern politicians
the negro question was Ignored. .
“Would Carry Presidency.”
‘Should the delegates of ’any one
state submit this plank, with a decla
ration of withdrawal If It Is rejected,
It would carry through,” said Senator
Aforgan last night. “Moreover, It would
carry the presidency. It woul,. d -v-:op
every other Issue. In the So- ihen
states the question Is ncut- to’ .y and
such a declaration on Fit pat of the
Democratic national cot on 'on would
bring the negro quest'-t, to the
people of the North, whr sooner or
later, will have to meet ,i race to face,
Just as we of the South 'are doing to
day."
On several roads almost chaotic con
ditions prevail.
On the Nashville, Chattanooga and
81. Louis railroad trains are being de
toured over the tracks of the Louisville
and Nashville system via McKenzie
and Humboldt, Tennessee. Southern
railway trains are being detoured over
the same route by way of Chsttanoogu.
For the first time In the history of
the road the tracks of the Illinois Central
railroad near Jackson, Tenn., are cov
ered with water and trains-are being
detoured via Holly Springs, Miss.
To add to the seriousness of the sit
uation, the weather Is becoming bitter
cold and much suffering Is anticipated.

There has been much discussion as to
Coffee and Postum lately, so much In
fact that some of the coffee importers
and roasters haVe taken to type to pro
mote tho sale of their wares and check
If possible the rapid growth of the use
of Postum Food Coffee.
In’the coffee Importers* book a chap
ter Is headed "'Coffee as a Medicine'
and advocates Its use ns such.
Here I* an admission of the truth,
moat Important to all Interested.
Every physician knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any "medicine” of the
drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky
quickly causes Irritation of the tissues
and organs stimulated and finally sets
up disease In the great majority of
caeca If persisted- In. It may show In
any one of the many organs of the
body and In the great majority of caws
can be directly traced to coffee In a
most unmistakable way by leaving off
the active Irritant—coffee—and using
Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten
days. If the result Is relief from nerv
ous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel com
plaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any
other malady set up by a poisoned
nervous system, you have your answer
with the accuracy of a demonstration
