WeII-knOwn Southern Protection
f,t AGAINST Senator-E Elect Bacon.


MACON. GA. March IA suit OF more
than local interest was filed in the SUI
porior Court here this morning. The
parties TO the suit are Major J. +. Han
son, one Of the most prominent manu-
facturers in the South. who is and has
been for years one of the strongest
protcctionists In the country, and United
States Senator-elect a. q. Bacon. The
Senator is the defendant.
The suit grows out Of the fact that
Major Hanson was compelled 10 pay a
bond. which he signed three years ago
for one OF Senator Bacon's clients. the
amount OF which was about $1,000. II
IS for this amount that he sues.
Major Hanson sets out that he was
Induced by Senator Bacon TO sign the
bond on the ground of long friendship
and that Senator Bacon assured him
that lac could not possibly lose any
,hing. He says tAat Senator Bacon has
reptatedly declined 10 indemnify him for
the loss Of the bond. The petitioner asks
that the Defendant be required TO show
cause. etc. on April 18th, before the Su-
perior Court.
