HORRIBLY SCALDED
By Escaping Steam Was Charles oliver, a
Driller.

News reached this city yesterday
noon that Chas. Oliver, who is by
profession driller in the oil fields,
had been severely scaded while work
ing on a we'll situated on the VIM
Cole farm, near Reno. He was en-
deavoring to disconnect the steam
line, and for this purpose was stand
ing on top of the boiler. While he
was engaged in this work, the plug in
the steam line became loosened, was
blown out and struck MIN in the alb
domen with terrific force. Oliver was
violently hurled from his position and
thrown to the ground.
There was so pounds of steam in the
boiler at the time of the explosion and
in an instant the unfortunate man
was enveloped by the vapor while his
flesh was burned and scalded by the
escaping steam and hot water.
He was placed in buggy and taken
to his home near Cornerville. where
DR.. Mitchell was summoned and the
injuries We're looked after. On exam
ination it was found that divers alb
domen and side were so badly scalded
that the skin came off when the injur-
ed parts of the body were touched, 1t
is not thought that the burns, while
very painful and severe, will result
seriously. But as the iron plug Of the
steam pipe was hurled with great force
against his abdomen, Oliver may have
sustained internal injuries of SER
ious nature. He is at present at his
home near Cornerville and his injur-
les are receiving medical attention.

The postmaster general of the
British central African protectorate
gives one or two interesting items
of news in his latest report. The
mails are still conveyed for the most
part upon the heads and backs of
native postmen. The men are re-
cruited chiefly from the Yao and
Atonga tribes and wear a uniform.
Fully 300 bags of mail are made up
each month at the different post Of
fees in the protectorate for con-
veyance by these men. the total dis
tance travelled being close upon 1O,-
900 miles per month, the cost of
transit being less than a half penny
per mile per bag.

TAlC
A North Carolina Product Handled by Mari
eta People.

Many passenger on the T. & o. c.
E. train passing Brpadwell in Athens
County, has noticed big four story
building standing near the railroad
track and wondered what kind of fac
tory it was. There are few who know
that it is owned by a Marietta com
pany and that it is one of eighteen in
stitutions in the United States that
are engaged in the work of reducing
and converting into commercial pre-
ducts, crude tale, or as it it sometimes
CALLED, soapstone. Aat9~
The Broadweii works are owned by
the Fairfax Company, of this city, and
although the plant is n Ohio. the
crude material comes from more dis
tant fields, 1t is mined in Moore
county, in the central part of North
Carolina, where the Fairfax Company
have large mine for tale, the product
there being the purest in its crude
form of any found in this country.
Good tale is found in but few places
in this country and the products are
in great demand.
1t is usually found near deposits Of
marble and granite and on the Fairfax
company's territory in North Carolina
there is an immense deposit which is
now being developed. 1t is found near
the surface, often projecting in great
boulders above ground and extends to
a great depth. 1t is easily reduced to
a transportable form by blasting.
In the North Carolina mine six men
are employed and the average output
it twenty tons per day. 1t is shipped
by rail to the Broadwell plant, or sold
in the crude form direct to consumers.
Mr. o. L. Gard, of this city, is super
intendent of the company and the Off
ces are located in the Forbes Diastase
building on Second street, where
number of young ladies are engaged in
putting up the refined tale in various
forms.
At Broadwell the crude material is
converted into various products. The
making of iron workers pencils is one
of the principal ways in which the men
there are employed, These pencils
are made by saving the blocks into
different sizes and as the material is
indestructible even under the most in
tense heat they are very valuable to
the ironworker For the same reason
the use of tale for foundry facings Is
becoming prevalent. The daily output
of pencils is about ten thousand.
The crude tale is also ground and
bolted like -four and in its reduced
form is used in many ways.
The Fairfax Company has under
consideration several plans which
when matured will lcause them to in
crease their present facilities for hand
ling the material and will bring to
the front a number of new products.
Although the mines are in North
Carolina and their plant at Broadwell,
the Fairfax Company may be classed
as a Marietta institution and one that
employs a number of people.

ENTERPRISE
Shown by Energetic John Ben Wilson Who
Has Been Operating at Beverly.

F. c. Siluis, acting marshal at Bev-
erly, brought John Ben Wilson, who is
charged with helping himself promis-
cuously to his neighbors' goods, to this
city Saturday and lodged him in the
county Jail, where he will be held un-
til the hearing Of his case at the fall
term of Common Pleas Court. The
prisoner had his preliminary hearing
before Justice of the Peace A. M. Jor-
dan and the evidence was found suffic-
lent TO bind Wilson over to the court
in the sum Of 5000 bond, which he was
unable to furnish. '"-'~a 49,.
He was arrested ON warrant sworn
out by John l., Martin, who also re-
sides at Beverly. Wilson is charged
with stealing one bay gelding valued
at 800, one bay mare valued at $10O,
one two horse farm wagon worth $50,
one set of double harness valued at
S. and 26 bushels of coal worth So.
Grand sum total 1927. .,.
John Ben Wilson Is certainly an en-
terprtsing and industrious specimen

propriate a team Of horses, set of har-
ness and wagon and then have enough
foresight to provide his winters fuel

4. Mr.. Bryan desired to end the
war and make the status Of the Phil

SO, also, did Senator Hoar; but Mr.
Mckinley was opposed to that from

1t is possible for a rejecting person
to run his eye over these propositions
and perceive the exact relations which
Mr.. Hoar's moral convictions bear to
his political views. He will vote against
his eonvictions-against his conscience
and for his party because Mr.. Bryan
was for the ratification OF the treaty

Well, with whom does the republican

like Mr.. Hoar and Tho Republican, can
give you reasons by the hour why 1t is
absolutely necessary 90 suppress their
consciences and their convictions to
aid Mr.. Mckinley and the controlling
syndicates to violate the constitution
and commit a crime against liberty. IT
the republican case Is strong enough to
gain the support of those who have
denounced it up and down. what more
would you have?
Everybody knows that every wrong
to which the negroes have been sub
jected since their freedom IS the re-
suit either OF republican meddling or
republican legislation. What our
Springfield contemporary calls their
political ruin" will in the end prove
to be their political salvation. We
think that is the firm opinion of most

ored Bynum democrat should come
down to the footlights and demand That
the Office of vice president be enlarged

we'll known to Teddy and his friends
that IL the republican ticket Is elected

his nomination and to HIS personal ef-
forts as a kinetoscope hero and graph

done to permit him to keep up the ex-

that a vice president of Teddy's pre-

to the president. No man who has
sailed the Caribbean sea and compelled

A Note of Progress.
We are glad to extract the following
paragraph from The Columbus Ledger

We are glad to extract the following
paragraph from The Columbus Ledger:
Nothing shows the improved condition
of the Georgia farmers more forcibly
than the official records on file in tho
courthouSes of the various counties. I'm
Ill within the past few years very few
farmers made their crops without bor-
rowing money in the spring, giving crop
and realty mortgages as security. The
number Of such mortgages filed for rec
ord has been decrea sing steadily for sew
eral years now. This year fewer mort
cages have been filed than In any year
since the end of the civil war.
This Is a condition of things which
It is most gratifying to find. and which
must point to the complete rebuilding
OF the south as the most prosperous
portion OF the union.
We are not unaware OF the use to
which this statement will be put by the
organs which play to the tune of "The
Gentleman from Canton" One Of the
results OF the present administration.
they will claim, which has brought to
the people good crops and good prices,
just as if providence were mere an
mex of the republican p rty. and finance
ready TO turn a somersault at It's whim.
The people OF the south are progress
ing In spite OF anything the govern
menr can do to repress 1t. We have the
sovereign staple which reigns as king
of the market Our soil is the best in
the world and our people the most pa
tient and industrious. Providence has
come to their aid and they are doing
well, a fact which they well know Is
not concerned with governmental
movements.

Former Governor Bullock's Letter,

We publish elsewhere a letter ap-
pearing in Frank Leslie's Weekly, from
Former Governor Bullock, Of this state,
which we commend to certain over
jealous republicans OF the north.
Beginning with the campaign of 1888,
in which Benjamin Harrison was
elected to the presidency. there has
grown up a class OF republicans who
periodically insist upon cutting down
the south's representation to the ex-
tent Of the colored vote. Even The
Philadelphia Press, which admits that
Pennsylvania remains republican
through the manufacture OF fraudulent
votes, goes into tears whenever IL re-
| fers TO the small vote cast in the south
ern states. and sobs out: Suppression!
Suppression"
1t is in response to the idea that
such curtailment should be submitted
to. that Former Governor Bullock
writes. He declares that the negroes
should not be disfranchised; that the
| representation of the south should not
be cut, and draws attention to the fact
that in the matter of negro suffrage
the north and not the south Is to
blame. The south left to herself would
not have introduced the problem, but
il was forced upon her by the north.
IL there Is any advantage to the south
In the matter, she has a right to cling
to II. and IL Is too late for the north
| 10 undo its own work. AS IL Is, the
governor draws attention to the fact
that the south has done nobly by the
negro. carrying the burden imposed
with patience and patriotism.
These words from the former gov
ernor come with special grace. He was
one of the reconstruction governors
under whom the work complained of
was perfected; he Is a personal as well
as an official witness to the zeal with
which Georgia sought to reject the in
/ crease OF power which such an enlarge
ment OF the suffrage would bring her.
Although himself subject OF the
/ prejudice OF the occasion, which he has
/ lived down. he does our people the
| Justice to set the right side Of the pres
ont situation before the people OF the
north. The vote in the south Is small.
| because the issues at stake are settled
in the preliminary primaries, leaving
the opposition at full liberty to appeal
| TO the ballot box IL they will only
/ bring forward men of such a character
as could command the people. That
one sentence explains the whole situa-
! tion. and We thank the honorable gen.
tleman for il.

II takes a wise man to keep up with
the entries in each presidential race.

II is not likely that the majority of
these named will even be mentioned
in the discussions OF the campaign. but
they will all serve in certain localities
for the disarrangement OF the plans
OF the leading candidates. and in a
close vote between the two leaders
would present a popular majority for
any OF them. 1t must not be forgotten,
also. that some of them have their
price and will be kept in the field for
the purpose of splitting the vote.
