imperative.
Judge Gober, like the terrapin with
the coal of fire on his back, has at last
ambled out of his shell of silence, and
sadly and YEARLY declares his innocence
of anv participation in the Fannin coun-
ty steal of the gubernatorial electoral
vote. and sets up in his defense the ia
mihar alibi. He wants it distinctly un-
derstood furthermore that in so far as
the cubernatorial race in his circuit IS
concerned, he is not in the slightest de-
gree involved. He does not, however,
condemn the action of those who were
engaged in the preparation of an outrage
the turpitude of which was apparent to
all honest people and was condemned at
the time by some of Mr.. Atkinson 5
friends as infamous. The public under
stand. of couse, that in this matter
Judge Gober's statement, made in his
his own behalf, was not under oath, and
to carry with it the conviction of author
ity needs confederation. Usually, it is
true that an offhand statement of a
Georgia Judge would be conclusive, but
the statements of Judge Gober made
concerning matter of interest to him
self need confederation. The alibi was
GOOD as far as it went and was cOnclu-
sive of the fact that the disinterested
Judge was not personally at the court
house while the voting was progressing.
But that he was not solicitous about the
result and did not contribute his quota
to the promotion of the ambitions of the
Atkinson contingent is scarcely credible.
1t was not necessary that the judge should
have been at the court house in person
to have accomplished his purpose. Even
his vote, according to the precedent that
has been set elsewhere by the friends of
the Coweta candidate, could have been
deposited by proxy, and as an adviser
and manager he could have done his
work more successfully at official head
quarters than by being present in person
where the election was being conducted.
Except upon special occasions it is not
advisable for a general to mingle with
the rank and file while the storm of bat
tie is raging, and so when votes are be-
ing deposited in political contest the
commander in chief of "those who con-
trol'' need only be in reasonably close
proximity to field of battle, and through
his valiant staff direct the political
manoeuvers that are deemed appropriate
to defeat the will of the honest people of
Georgia and steal the electoral vote for
their candidate. Gober was not far off
when the Fannin county election was
held, and Brown was there. Atlanta

MANY MARINERS LOST NEAR LAND


London, Dec, 2O,-Seyere weather has
prevailed throughout Great Britain
since Saturday. the heavy gale being
accompanied by hail and snow. render
ing navigation along the coasts both
difficult aud dangerous. All vessels
that could do 80. made for hnvens OF
shelter, Some OF them, however, did
not succeed in reaching port, but We're
wrecked when almost In sight OF safety.
This was the case Of the British bark
Osseo. Capt. Boggs, which sailed from
Talial. Aug 49, for Ardriossan. She
made the long voyage safely until this
morning, when she was wrecked on
the Holyhead breakwater, and every
soul on board of her. twenty-four In
all, were drowned.
How the accident occurred IL not ex-
actly known, but is surmlsed that an
extraordinary high sea lifted her when
she was quite close tu the breakwater
and dashed her upon II. She struck
amidshlps, and Immediately began 10
break up. the sea pounding at her fur
iously the moment she became sta
tionary.
The coast guardsmen were the first
to reach the scene and were followed
soon after by the lifeboatmen. Above
the bowling OF the gale could be heard
the cries of the men on the bark for as
slstance. The coast guards got line
aboard the wreck and II was caught by
one of the crew. Before he could make
II fast the fore and mizzen masts were
whipped off close to the deck, and
Everybody in the rigging fell with them
into the sea and were drowned. The
sailor who had caught the line was
crushed TO death under one of the fall
ing masts. After the masts were gone
all was silent on the wreck. and those
on the breakwater knew that all hands
on the bark had perished. In short
time nothing was visible seaward but
broken spaTs and a rafIie OF rigging
attached to them.
During the day nine bodies were re-
covered, The identity of the bark was
learned from some OF her papers that
were washed ashore. The Osseo was a
steel vessel of 1899 tons. and was built
in 1889 at Londonderry, from which
| port she sailed.
The storm on laQd has done serious
damage. Trains have been blocked and
In many places In Scotland telegraph
wires are down.
