Escaped Injury—Car Mon
Promptly Arrested.
The president of the United States
escaped a tragic death by only a few
feet In a collision. between his car¬
riage and an electric street car in
Pittsfield, Mass.. Wednesday, while
one of his mist**trusted guards, Secret
Service Agent William Craig, was in¬
ntantiy killed and Farid J. Pratt, of
Dalton, who was guiding the horses
attached to the vehicle, was seriously
Injured. President Roosevelt himself
was badly shaken up, but received
only a slight facial bruise.
Cortelyou, w ho occupied a seat direct:
ly opposite the president In the lan
dcau, 6U8tataed a minor wound in the
hack of the head, and Governor
Crane, who sat beside the president,
extricated himself from the wreck
practically without a scratch. The
carriage was demolished by the Impact
of.the rapidly-moving car and
wheel.horse on the side nearest the
oar was killed outright. The crew
and passengers of the car escaped in
Jury.
The Story In Detail.
After a night passed at Governor
Crane’s home In Dalton, Mass., the
president and his party took carriages
for the drive over the picturesque
Berkshire 711118 to Lenox.
The president made a brief speech
Ut the opera house at Dalton on leav
Ing there shortly before 8 o’clock and
going to Pittsfield, where ho planned
to stop for a short time on the way
to Lenox. He was constantly greeted
by groups of citizens who were most
enthusiastic in Uitlr greeting. .
An Immense crowd welcomed him In
Pittsfield and ho made a brief speech
from a stand which had been erected
in the public park.
The president then returned to his
carriage with Governor Crane and Sec¬
retary Cortelyou and requested that he
be driven to the home of former Sena
tor N. L. Dawes.
Mr. Dawes lives not far from the
square and the president was quickly
taken there. He remained about five
minutes going into the.house of the
former senator for a friendly chat.
He w'as then driven hack to the park
and the stfirt for Lenox was made.
Tragedy Stills Cheers,
One or two of the carriages, includ¬
ing those in which the newspaper men
were riding, had gone on ahead. As
the president's carriage and those con
taining Ihe others of bis party made
their way along South street, the
crowds who lined the pavements
cheered repeatedly and the ovation
which had begun at Dalton and had
hardly been Interrupted since the start
was made, was continued.
Along the south street, which Is not
a wide highway, runs the track of the
Pittsfield and Lenox Street Railway
company. Occasionally an electric
car 'hummdr by the. carriages,. At a
•potnt-about a quarter of a mile from
the center of the city the street bends
and the car track's run in'a straight
line across it from one side to the
other;
As the president's carriage appeared
et this crossing an. electric car was
heard coming along at great speed,
apparently trying to pass ahead of the
procession.
Secret Service Officer Craig ap
predated the danger and he arose be
side the driver and turning arounn.
signalled the motorman to bold back.
The warning was disregarded and

Washington Post Says Question Has
Been Tentatively Discussed.
" The Washington Post says that the
president has tentatively, discussed
with some of his close advisers the ;
question of annexing the island of
Hayti, with a view to action in case |
the Haytiens themselves fail to re
store peace and order. The frequency j
of the revolution in Hayti necessitaf- ]
lng the presence of American men of
war to protect American and foreign
Interests, says The Post, have led to !
the Informal discussion of the possi

JESUP, WAYNE COUNTY, GA.. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1302.
the next Instant, in view of hundreds
of people, the electric car crashed di
agonaliy against the carriage, causing
the wheels to collapse splintering the
side and running down the near horse
of the wheel team, killing It Instantly.
The occupants were thrown into the
midst of the wreckage.
Secret Service Agent Craig fell un¬
der the car and his head waB crushed
and the upper part of his body was
badly mutilated.
The driver, Pratt, was also caught
as he fell and was injured mainly
about the head, a fractured skull being
his wound.
The president, although partly bur
led by the splintered fragments of the
carriage, extricated himself and was
seen to have sustained only a cut on
the cheek.
Governor Crane was not Injured.
Secretary Cortelyou was not so fort¬
unate, having sustained a blow on the
! back of the head, but soon recovered
| and wlth the president and Governor
j Crane went to the bouse of A. D. Ste
i veQS w hich is near where the accident
j 0ccu j. re( j and t h e house was thrown
0 p en f or th e reception of the injured.
T he secret service agent was beyond killitl.
j bejp having been instantly
The'body was taken into the Stevens
h ome
It waa found that Drlver 1>ratt wag
unconscious, but not dead.
He also was taken to the house.
A few minutes later an ambulance
from the Pittsfield hospital arrived
j and he was removed to that Institu¬
tion.
The crowd became greatly excited.
It rushed Into the street surround¬
ing the wreckage and the car shout¬
ing at the motorman and the conduct¬
or and creating a great disturbance.
Souvenir Hunterr, at Work.
Almost immediately persons began
snatching qway the fragments of the
carriage in which the president had
ridden. Only by the utmost efforts
did a force of police, which had been
quickly summoned, prevent the entire
demolition of the vehicle by souvenir
hunters.
Immediately after ttie accident, Mo¬
j : orraan Luke Madden and Hie conduct
or. James Kelly, were placed under
arrest and taken to police headquar¬
ters, the chowd giving them a stormy
reception as they passed along the
street.
Having seen that the body of Craig
was properly attended to and hearing
the clamor of the crowd outside, the
president stepped to tho door. The
tumult Indicated great excitement
among the people, seeing which, Pres
jijent Roosevelt urged the people not
to cheer, as one of the party was dead.
He assured the assembly that he was
uninjured, but that the driver of his
carriage, he feared, was fatally hurt.
He said he would continue his journey,
as It did not seem just right to disap¬
point the large number of people who
were expecting him.
Then the president returned to the
house and directions were given for
another carriage to be brought up.
Ride is Resumed.
It was soon at the door and the ride
to Lenox was resumed. As soon as
the president had left the Stevens
house the crowd began to disperse
and within a few minutes the streets
had resumed their usual appearance
here, save for a few groups who lin¬
gered to discuss the accident.
WOULD COST MUCH LESS.
Governor Ston e May Call Extra Leg¬
islative Session to Stop Strike.
"An extra session of the legislature
would cost the state less money than
it is costing to maintain the militia
in the anthracite region to prevent
and suppress riots.”
In these words Governor' W. A.
Stone, of Pennsylvania, indicated to a
few of his. friends during a visit to
pittshurg Wednesday, his purpose to
ca n an extra session of the leglsla
ture to try to end the anthracite
strike.

Season’s Total Crop is Forecast
by New Orleans Man.
HE ESTIMATES 10,680,680 BALES
An Increase Over Crop of Last Season
Texas Shows Heavy Shortage,
Which is Offset In Other
States.
Secretary Hester's annual report
was Issued in full at New Orleans
Thursday. He puts the cotton crop
of 1901-02 at 10,680,680 bales, an in
erease of 297,258 over that of 1900-01,
an increase of 1.244,264 over that of
1899-1900 and a decrease of 594,160
under that of 1898-99. He says that
compared with last year, In round fig¬
ures, Texas, Including Indian Territo¬
ry, ha* decreased 816,000 hales; the
group known as other gulf states, con¬
sisting of Louisiana, Arkansas. Mis¬
sissippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah
and Kansas, has increased 653,000, and
th <» group of Atlantic states, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Kentucky and Vir
glnia, has Increased 461,000.
Mr. Hester's report on tho cotton
cr °P o£ the different states is given as
follows in thousands of hales:
Alabama, 1,200, against 1,000 last
year; Arkansas, 820, against 762;
Florida, 54, against 45; Georgia, 1,525,
against 1,295; Louisiana, 880, against
719; Mississippi, 1,375, against 950;
North Cared Ina, 550, against 542;
South Carolina, 925, against 911; Ten¬
nessee, 359, against 350; Texas and
Indian Territory, 2,993, against 3,80'“
Total crop, 10,681, against 10,383.
-He makes the actual production a
Oklahoma 130.812, against 119,063 last
year and of Missouri 31,412, against
25,794 last year; the two last being in¬
cluded under the head of “Tennessee,
etc.”
Value of the Ctop.
He puts the average commercial
value of this year's crop at $41.01,
against* $47.63 last year, $38.55 the
year before and $25.08 In 1898 99', and
the total value of the crop at $438,014,-
687, against $494,567,649 last year and
$388,784,820 the year before. This, Mr.
Hester says, show's that while the crop
was In excess of lawt year by 297,258
hales, the money value thereof was
$56,552,862 less.
He says when it Is considered tha/t
the combined values of the past three
crops resulted In the payment to the
farmers, common carriers, merchants
and other handlers of nearly $1,300,
000,000, their importance as the great
factor In the prosperity of the south
may be fully appreciated.
He puts the total spindles In the
south at 7,512,982. an increase over
last year of 981,088. These include
996,853 in new mills not yet completed.
The net gain In the number of south¬
ern mills over last year has been 28,
making the total now 716. Of these
61 are in operation, 31 are idle and
54 are In course of erection.
VIRGINIA STRIKE TO END.
Whiter is Coming on and Mitchell
Advises Resumption of Work.
It Is now believed the coal strike in
West Virginia is practically at an end.
At a mass meeting of miners from all
the coal fields along the Norfolk and
Western railroad at Huntington Thurs¬
day, It was almost unanimously
agreed to end the strike provided the
operators would take back all the old
miners, and they have signified their
Intention of doing this. The miners
have agreed to return to work Monday
morning.
It Is reported that President
ell, of the United Mine Workers, ad¬
vised the strikers to return to work,
as he realized that winter was near
at, hand and the miners In this field
could not hold out much longer, as al¬
most every one was dependent upon
the union for food and clothing. It is
thought the strikers In the New river
and Kanawha fields will eoon follow
the action of the strikers on the Nor¬
folk and Western. ;
OFFICER EFFECTS A COUP.
Pending Application for Release Pris¬
oner is Hustled Out of State.
James M. Rogers, the colored man
w anted in North Carolina on a charge ]
of setting fire to a dwelling house, is
now beyond the jurisdiction of any
court in Massachusetts. After Judge
Hammond, of the supreme court, at
Boston, had denied a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus, having for its
object the release of the prisoner, an
officer from North Carolina hustled
Rogers out of the state. While the !
prisoner was being taken away his
lawyer was applying to the federal
court for a writ of habeas corpus.

GOBER FOR SUPREME BENCH.
Governor Candler, of Georgia, Names
Temporary Successor to Judge
Hal Lewis, Resigned.
Judge George F. Gober, of Marietta,
to succeed Judge Hal T. Lewis on the
Georgia supreme bench.
Altliought the appointment was de¬
ferred until Friday night, Governor
Candler had practically decided on It
earlier In the day, and to those, who
stand closest to him it does not,5; pme
in the nature of surprise.,."’ /*C
While at no time did Judge timber
state openly that he was a candidate
for the appointment, his friends fijiifti
been in close communication'
Governor Candler ever place it was
first learned that Judgi Hal T. .fcewis
would resign, and they have urged
thut ho be named.
Governor Candler had repeatedly
stated that ho would not name any'
one for the ad interim term Who was
a candidate for election before the
people. The general impression
Governor Candler lias appointed
roomed to prevail for some (lays that
Judge Gober would make the race, and
on this account he was thought to
have been eliminated from considera¬
tion for appointment. Early Friday
morning, however, Judge Gober called
on Governor Candler by special ap¬
pointment and stated emphatically
that ho wa* not a candidate before the
people and would not be. This state¬
ment removed any doubt that Gover¬
nor Candler may have had and the ap¬
pointment was practically decided on
at that time.
In the event of Julge Gobcr’s ac
ceptance of the appointment his resig¬
nation from the judgethlp of the Blue
Ridge circuit will leave a vacancy to
he filled. He was nominated for an
other term of four years at the lust
primary and would have been elected
on October 1.
Senator Hiram P. Bell, of Forsyth
county, senator from the thirty-ninth
district, Is prominently spoken of as
Judge Gobcr’s successor. Any ap¬
pointment at this tfce would be for
two years, or until the next state elec¬
tion.

Mass., of Motorman Euclid Madden

charge of the car that struck the pres¬
ident's carriage.

Reminiscences,
What a commotion. The public
schools have opened the winter ses
'kipn. Hundreds of children are going
to and fro and every family is excited
for tiu , lr own , The books have been
hunted up, the faces washed and hair
.The boys have a new suit
ahd the girls new school dresses, and
It lpoks like everything and everybody
Is workiughifor the children. Mer¬

farmers seem to be
husy"in7w\ic. behind.th’efu trades and professions,
but all is the welfare and
happiness of tlielr children. We have
but one scholar iiow a sweet grand¬
child, who het* to a higher grade
and has to strajtfefl>4t:jyoung a-iidjgMtpterics mind to

it. In a grade of thirty or forty pupils
It is ImposslhleTor the teacher to give
more than a few minutes to each one,
but I sometimes give an hour to our
little girl at night. That Is what an
old grandpa is good for. :-But it is
hard for even mo to fall Into line with
new books and master them. The first

but that book Is I
don’t know the new qn.e*'?• Just so
with algebra. Old JeFcmlalL.‘Day Is
dead and now there Is a new. hook and
new rules, and they are harder tome.
How we old men do love to talk over
tho good old ways of fifty and sixty
years ago!
Captain Calhoun was telling yester¬
day how old Iloman mauled knowledges and
Into the brain through the shanks
posteriors of rebellious hoys. 1 haven’t
forgot sotne of the lickings that good
old '■John Norton gave me, for 1
was full of mischief. Professor Ron¬
ald Johnston is here, now on a visit.
He taught here many years and most
all of these young married men carry
his mavks, for he ,is a Scotchman and
has a Scotchman's fall h In Solomon
and the rod. In 1861 he joined the
confederate army, and when the war
was oveFresumed his school and has
now been teaching over fifty years. He
Is a fit successor to Beman and Isham
and Toiichie, but has gentled down a
good deal, and loves to pet his grand¬
children.
I was ruminating about these school
books and their cost. It took $4 to buy
four little hooks for the new grade
and I know It Is too much, and 1 re¬
joice to see that a company has been
formed to publish southern school
books In a southern city and keep our
money at home. I rejoice that Dr. I.
William Jones hgs published a school
history of the United States that is
acceptable to our people. He is a
grand old gentleman without fear and
without reproach, and has done more
to preserve our good name and our rec¬
ord than any other man. His biography
of Jefferson Davis and of Robert E.
Lee should he in every household.
Even Teddy, who claims to be a histo¬
rian, ought to read that of Mr. Davis
and repent and retract and apologize
before he Is set down as an arch ca
lumnitaor of a true patriot and a no¬
ble man. This reminds me of that
bravo girl, Laura Talbert Galt, who
refused to sing "Marching Through
Georgia” in the Louisville public
school. Blessings on her; she ought
£o bo adopted as the successor to Win
D ^ e Bavls, the Daughter of the Confed
erac y- ^7 good friend, Joe Brown,
has written a parody on that song, and
the last line to every verse Is:
“As we went thieving through Geor¬
gia.”
I have lost some of my respect for
the city of Louisville as a southern
city since that Infamous song Is al¬
lowed to be sung in their public
schools.
But I am comforted every day with
letters of inquiry about the roster
that Georgia is going to make and
about Judge Walter Clark’s books and
how to get them. Here Is a beautiful
letter from Hon. P. T. Turnley, mayor
of the city of Highland Park, Ills. He
Is 81 years old, but does not look It in
his handsome photograph. He was
born and reared in Tennessee and
graduated at West Point in 1846.
Stonewall Jackson was his roommate;
Generals D. R. Jones and William
Montgomery Gardner his classmates.
That is getting pretty close to us, for
D. R. Jones was our brigadier for a
while, and Gardner was our colonel.
Mr. Turnley wants those books and 1
wish to say here that the books must
be ordered from M. O. Sherrill, state
Ubrarlon, Raleigh, N. C. Send $5
and they will be sent by express, but
not prepaid. And here is a letter from
G W. Nichols, of Jesup, Ga., who also
sends his interesting book, “A Sol¬

rison August 1, 1899, consisted of 318
officers and 9,622 men; reinforcements
sent between then and the outbreak
of hostilities, October 11, 1S99, totalled
12.546. Thereafter the troops sent up
to May 31. 1902. reached the great
total of 386,081, besides 52,414 men
raised in South Africa.
