A Little Town To Do
Bi£ Things.
With a pluck and
seldom witnessed in a community
of less than five hundred inhabit¬
ants the aggressive and hustling
little city of Barvvick in Brooks
county is running an excursion
from Atlanta via A. B. A:. A. rail¬
road on the morning of the 6th of
August.
The tickets via. the A. B. V. A.
Railroad will be $6,oo for the
round trip and will be .good for six
days, and the people of Barwiek
are arranging to entertain in their
homes for as many days as desired,
allot' the excursionists, and will
give them a a loaded table
at every meal of Brooks County
products, cooked in the finest ,uu '
most appetising style.
The example which is thus being
set by a little town of less than five
hundred inhabitants is one Unit
ought to send a thrill through other
counties in the State of Georgia.
It also demonstrates that a real live
industrial organization not only
puts real fire and spirit into
town in which it is rotated, but
that if properlv handled, it
the spirit of tlie organization into
all of the towns and districts with
in a reasonable radius of ns head
quarters.
The little town of Barwiek is

Yesterday two thousand famil¬
ies ol the poor of Chicago were
given a treat in the shape of a pre¬
sent to each of a real Georgia
watermelon. The melons came
.direct from the farm in Georgia in
a through car and were distributer!
to those who most enjoy the lus¬
cious juiciness of the Georgia mel¬
on. The car was shipped Satur¬
day and reached Chicago Wednes¬
day.
This unique idea of sending a
carload of watermeloms direct from
the field to the poor of Chicago was
original with the management of
the Georgia and Florida FartnsCa.,
with headquarters iti Atlanta. This
company owns large tracts of lands
in South Georgia and operates a
Demonstration Farm at West
Green, in Coffee Counry, for the
purpose of showing the produc¬
tiveness of the soil to prospective
settlers and of encouraging the
resident farmers to diversify their
crops and adopt intensive (methods
of farming. The company is giv¬
ing the melons, and the Georgia
and Florida Railway, on the lines
of which the farm is located, and
the Southern Railway and Monon
Route agreed to haul the car to
Chicago free of charge. 'The same
people are arranging to ship sever¬
al more carloads of watermelons to
ot other .Northern cities for free dis¬
tribution to the poor.
The shipment was made to be
the Polish National Alliance, an
organization who saw that the dis¬
tribution was made where it would
be of most benefit to those who
seldom enjoy such a treat.
On each melon was pasted a
printed label reading: “This mel¬
on is a ‘second’, or cull’, and not
appropriate for the maiket. It
comes from West Green in South
Georgia. The transportation was
given by the following railroads :
Georgia X Florida Railway, South¬
ern Railway, Monon Route. The
melon is presented to you by the
Georgia and Florida Farms Co.,
Hurt Building, Atlanta, Ga. Dis¬
tributed by the Polish National
Alliance.”
The words “second” and “cull”
do not mean that the melons are
spoiled or defective in any way,but
merely indicate that they are under
the weight limit fixed by universal
market custom, which is that no
melon under twenty pounds weight
shall be shipped to market.
Hugh Dorsey Addresses Big Audience.
Hon. Hugh Dorsey, who so sat¬
isfactorily handled the Leo M.
Frank case of Atlatna, spoke in
Gainesville Tuesday in the interest
of Hon. Joe Brown’s candidacy
for U. S. Senate. He handled his
subject well before an audience of
j 5,000 to 7,000 people. He opened
j bis speech with a compliment upon
j President Wilson, but stated that
he thought the sooner that Mr. Wil¬
son dumped Iloke Smith overboard
the bettnr for himself and the coun¬
try. He laid bare the record of
Sneator Smith, stating that if Mr.
Smith was stripped of his egotism,
dignity, conceit, etc., there would
be little left of him.
He handled Mr. Brown’s record
magnificently, and showed that his
record throughout has been fair,
clean, and forceful, and that in all
his public dealings he had refused
to submit to the demands of the
powerful and rich and always ex¬
tended the kind hand of affection
to the weak,
Christianity In Colorado.
By an Old Dotard.
That brave soldier,General Sher¬
man, declared that he regarded
“War as Hell,” and he could not
contemplate it without being well
nigh overcome by feelings of horror
and remorse. In Colorado those
armed fiends—Rockefeller gunmen
and state militia—were butchering
men, women and children of the
working class. The outraged
miners, unable to stand the infam
ousTule of their enemies, waged
war to the best of their ability
against their oppressors. At Trin¬
idad they butchered men, pregnant
women and innocent children,
poured coal oil over their bodies
and burnt them up. At this place
there were over two score of miners
and their wives and children mur¬
dered. If those butchers are Chris¬
tians, where in the world shall we
look for demons?
Tne Ludlow mining camp in
Colorado leapt into wide notoriety
on April 20. The details of the
barbariety are so infamous that
Mexico offers no brutality so great.
Huerta killed Madero, but even
Huerta did not shoot an innocent
little boy going to the spring for
water to his mother, who lay sick.
Villa is a barbarous character, but
in his mad lest moods he never'
turned machine-guns on imprisoned
women and innocent children, who
attempted to escape from the cruel
flames fireS of their burning tents; or
explosive bullets that tore the
heads from their children’s bodies.
* t Whole families have been wiped
out, being, as we have said, the
result of a strike '.between mine
igur,’.l,5 Vh( ! miiitiafnen onAoe si-.ie,
and .miners on- the other. Of the
dead and wounded the majority are
women and children.
We shall now quote a few articles
from the Coroner’s Verdict, testi
lying that the Colorado militia set
(Ire to the tents, where the miners
families had taken refuge, after
being turned out of the company
owned cabins, and the burning to
death of women and children.
Another verified report says that a
Mrs. P. jolly made affidavit that
she saw militiamen pile bodies of
women and children in a large
mass, pour coal oil on them, and
set them on fire.
coi.okado’ s juhor’s verdict.
Trinidad, Colo., May 2.—The
fire which destroyed the Ludlow
tent colony in tbe coal strike dis¬
trict, on th night of April 20,
causing the deaths of 13 women
and children, was started by
militiaman or mine guards, or both,
according to tbe verdict given by'
the Coroner’s Jury here late to-day.
■ •. • D. J. Riley, a Colorado
locomotive fireman, testified that
“he saw a man in militia uniform
touch a blaze to a third tent.”
The conductor of the same t ain
testified that as that train pulled
out of the station and pass the tent
colony, he heard women and child¬
ren screaming, trying to escape,
and during this time the militia
was firing into the colony.
“I am Jesus Christ and all my
men on horses are Jesus Christs,
and we must be obeyed,” is the
statement of Lieut. Linderfelt, of
the Colorado National ruffians; a
fine commander for the few decent
militia hoys there are left. Another
brutal character, deeply impressed
with his own authority, is Capt.
Linville.who hud insulted a woman,
the latter “talking back” to him
and wounding his military dignity.
“You must get out of that house of
yours by tomorrow morning.” Lin
ville commanded her in a rage;
when the woman asked by what
right he said that, to which he re
plied : -!Lim Jesus Christ
and my iftgB are all Jesus Christs;
and what PettifcL |say goes.”
P. a saloon keeper at
Valdez, was one of many who had
been forced to contribute more than
his share of free booze, to keep
those ruffianly brutes drunk. A
squad of troopers entered his sa¬
loon, never asking him whether he
would give them to drink, blit
drawing their six-shooters, made
him throw up bis hands and turn
bis face to the wall in the corner of
his own saloon. Whilst one man
covered him with a gun, the rest of
the beasts drank all the liquor they
could stand, and then walked away
with a bottle of slow gin and a box
of cigars. But another of the gang
was not altogether suited with tills,
and whilst the others were imbib¬
ing all the liquor they could pour
down their dirty throats, Ibis,
soldier went to the cash register,
broke it open and stole $60. Upon
Fettito reporting the hold-up and
robbery to the above Capt. Lin
ville, he said he would investigate
“after a while,” but that “while”
has probably not come yet’.
In concluding this article,already
too long, the papers inform us that
the “Rev.” II. M. Pitigree, pastor
of a Methodist church in Denver,
Colo., preached a sermon upon the
butchery at Trinidad. Amongst
other things he said : “The strikers
in the coal fields are mostly igno¬
rant foreigners. . . . The only way
to rule them is by iron and steel.
I speak as a Christian minister . . .
There was a story in the papers
about the militia tearing away the
ceiling in a woman’s home. Well,
if I had had anything to do with it,
I would have lighted a stick of
dynamite and blown up that
bouse,” Are not tbe Guggen-
