ACTION WAS HASTY
SAYS sUPT. KLINE, REFERRING TO
STRIKING MACHINISTS AT MACON.
MAY RETURN TO WORK.
ROAD is WILLING TO TAKE MEN
BACK IF THEY CARE TO RETURN.

Superintendent Kline Says Hasty
steps of Macon Machinists Was
Taken without a Full Knowledge
of the Circumstances Governing
Increase of Pay of Some of the
Employees Here-ROad Does Not
Care to Employ Men who Are Not
Satisfied, He Said-Thinks Ma
jOrity of Strikers Will Return to
Work.
Supt. r. D. Kline, of the Central of
Georgia Railway, believes the differ
ences between the road and it's en-
ployes in the shops in Macon who
walked out Monday, will be satisfac-
torily adjusted, and that the men will
see that they have acted hastily and
will return to work in a few days.
Supt. Kline was seen by Morn
ing News reporter yesterday. He
said that there is no ill feeling be-
tween the road and the employees at
Macon, and that the action of the
men there was taken hastily and with
out due consideration of the circum-
stances.
The machinists who walked out made
the claim that they were entitled to
an advance of 10 per cent. in wages,
as the same thing had been granted
the machinists in Savannah. A COM
mittee from the employees waited on
Supt. Kline. and on his refusal to
grant the demands, they walked out,
about eighty-five in all.
Thinks Men Acted Hastily.
II think that the action of the men
was a little hasty," said Supt. Kline,
land that they will return to work
when they realize that it is to their
interests to do so. We do not want a
man to work for US who is not salts
fed. In the matter of the increase
of rates here, there evidently, is a
misunderstanding. Sometime ago we
did increase the pay of some of the
employees here who graduated from one
grade to another, but there was no
general increase in pay.
Even had this been so there are
circumstances that should have some
effect on the determination of men in
another town to throw up their posi-
tions when they were not receiving
the same pay as employees in other
cities.
Many Things to Consider.
There are many things that
we have to consider. There is the in
creased cost of living, an item that
we have to reckon on. The standard o.
pay is practically the same in all towns
where we employ a number of skilled
laborers.
There is little for me to say in re-
gard to this matter. If the Macon
workmen who walked out desire to re-
turn to work they can do so, and if
not, suppose that they will seek posi-
tons that satisfy them better and we
will have to get along without them
the best way we can. 1 think, how
ever, that the men will realize that
they have acted a little hastily and
will find that the road has not dis
crimiated against them"

Cotton receipts yesterday went ahead
of the same day last year, being 5,116
against 4.1O7 for Sept. g. 1902
These figures are verifcation that
from now on there will be great daily
increase in the port receipts, and de-
spite the slump of nearly a cent in the
prices in the last five days. farmers are
still exerting every energy to get the
staple on the market.
The cotton which was received yes
terday, however, was sold at prices
that prevailed Friday, and brought on
an average II cents.
The heavy receipts sweiled the stock
on hand here sufficient to keep the
congresses busy for the remainder of
the week, for a large portion of it was
rushed to the city without going
through the presses in the interior. This
was done because the presses there are
crowded, and shippers demand that
their cotton be compressed at once or
shipped fat.
large part of the receipts was for
coastwise export, which means that
the home mills are still in the market,
and are taking all the cotton that is

SHOULD USE THE TORCH
ON SPURS AND ROOTS.
Florida Man Suggests Planting
Clover in Extension.

Florida Man Suggests Planting
Clover in Extension.
Cockspur picking in the Park Elk
tension continues under the direction
of the streets and lanes department of
the city, and time alone will show if
the novel plan of Kidding the parade
ground of the nuisance is a valuable
one.
Chairman R. j. Davant of the
Streets and Lanes Committee of
Council refuses to discuss the cock
spur war and difference of opinion on
the subject continue to exist. There
are still those who believe the scheme
of maintaining d cockspur brigade is
a wise one, while there are others
who are equally certain that no good
can come of such a warfare on the
''stiCkers."
Chairman P. d. Daffin of the Park
and Tree Commission was prevailed
upon to give his opinion of the best
method to rid the parade ground of
the spurs. Mr.. Daffin said that he is
simply watching the fight, and that
the commission has nothing to do with
the employment of the boys. He does
not believed, however, that the cock
spurs can be eradicated In this fash
ion.
Mr.. Datfin thinks that the cockspurs
should be cultivated for a season, and
allowed to grow to their full size. They
should be then cut down and the roots
should be furrowed. The cockspurs
and the roots should be left on the
ground, and when thoroughly dry,
should be set on fire. 1t is Mr.. Daffin' s
idea that then both roots and spurs
would be destroyed permanently.
A resident of Florida, said to be the
home of the cockspur, who is in tine
city on a visit, has a plan that he con-
siders both feasible and excellent. He
says that cockspurs are a sand prod
uct and grow in very poor soil. His
idea is to harrow the ground, fertilize
it and plant clover The gentleman
from Florida says that in this way
not only will the parade ground be a
thing of beauty, but that hay enough
can be made each year to pay all eX-
penses. This, he says, can be kept up
for five years without replanting
In the meantime the work of picking
is going merrily on.

street at about Gwnnett lane, and
LarkiRs escape from instant death
was little short of miraculous. he
could have escaped injury, however
had he released his hold on the horses.
An alarm from box 43, at Gwinnett
and East Broad streets had been
sounded, and hose company No. re-
sponded Driver Larkin was in the
seat, Paul Tishbein, 'strikec.' was IN
the wagon and Fireman Jess Wilder
was on the rear step of the appara-
tus. Wilder had just stepped to the
ground near a fire hydrant for the
purpose of pulling out line OF hose,
when the wagon struck the tracks of
the Savannah Electric Company.
Driver Larkin was thrown violently
to the ground and the horses became
frightened. They plunged forward
dragging the fireman on the vitrified
brick. Bravely the driver hung to
the lines while his clothing was be-
ing torn from his back, and his flesh
was being cut and bruised. At Gwin-
nett street one of the horses kicked
the PROSTATE fireman and involun-
tarily his hands opened and the lines
dropped out. In an instant the two
wheels of the wagon had passed over
Larkin and the horses went dashing
madly north on East Broad street.
Tishbein in Danger.
Tishbein had crawled into the drivers
seat, but was unable to locate the lines.
His eyesight is poor and he was in a
dangerous position, as the speed of the
horses increased Fireman Wilder had
made an effort to mount the side of the
wagon the instant the driver fell, out
was unable to get footing. He pulled
himself on the hose on the rear, and as
the wagon rocked, crawled into the
seat where Tishbein sat poWerless.
Leaning far over Wilder managed to
get the lines, and the horses were
brought to a standstil. Fireman Pat
Noon, a member of the hose company,
had answered the alarm on foot, and
was among the first to reach Driver
Larkin. He lifted his fellow firefghter
to the sidewalk, and it was then that
Larkin tried to give orders about the
laying out of a line of hose from the
hydrant that Noon had captured AS
soon as Fire Marshal George Mouro,
who is in charge of the department in
the absence of Supt. Mcguire, reached
the scene, he had the injured fireman
looked after, and a physician was sent
for.
The sounding of the alarm was
caused by a pan of burning grease in
house at No. 544 East Broad street,
occupied by a colored family. The serv-
ices of the firemen were not required,
and there was 10 damage done to the
property.

No, l, Driver Hugh ]. Larkin, one of
the oldest members of the fire depart
ment, was dragged several feet at noon
yesterday.
Not until one of the horses had
kicked him did the fireman release his
hold on the lines, and then the heavy
wagon passed over his body probably
injuring him internally. Even then
Driver Larkin endeavored to give or
ders for the laying out Of a line of
hose. His injuries, however, were of
such a serious nature that he had to
be lifted to the station on Waldburg
street, where an examination was made
by DR.. Graham.
Later the injured fireman was remov-
ed to his home on Price and Anderson
streets. where he lost consciousness.
Both wheels of the wagon had passed
over his body and his clothing had
been almost torn from his person. He
was cut and bruised and suffered in
tense pain. One of the horses kicked
him on the shoulder, and he suffered a
great deal from the cut, although no
bones were broken. Fireman Larkin' S
condition is regarded as critical.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WILL FIX TAX RATE

At the September meeting of the
County Commissioners, to be held this
afternoon, the tax rate for 1903 will be
announced. The rate may be as low as
81 per 81 900. and will not be over 1920.
The present tax rate is $3.50, and
there is certain to be a reduction of
30 cents. if indeed the reduction will
not be larger. The state tax rate has
been fixed at IS thousand. The in
creased property returns for 1908
amount TO about a million and half
dollars I'm valuation, and this fact will
be very largely responsible for the de-
crease in the rate.

she has been in extremely bad health
and that a recent operation was prob
ably responsible for her sudden out
burst. the husband does not expect to

QUIET AT THE ISTHMUs.
4 cablegram Received From Rear Ads
 mirai GIass. @

!,
 Washington, Dec. 20-The navy de- partment to-day received a cablegram from Rear-Admiral Glass, commanding the naval forces on the isthmus. giving Ia general summary of the conditions that prevail there and of the various steps that have been taken by the navy. The cablegram stated that everything was quiet. The text of the dispatch was not made public.
 The navy department has now very formidable array of vessels on duty at the Isthmus of Panama. ,.
 To the south of the isthmus are the Concord, the Boston, the Wyoming and the Marblehead, to be augmented by the New York, Rear-Admiral Glass flagship. &.=@
 To the east of the isthmus are the Mayfower, the Prairie, the Atlanta, the Nashville and the Bancroft.
 Proceeding southward to join the other vessels under immediate conl- mand of Rear-Admiral Coghlan is the Olympia, his regular flagship:
 Naval officials say that so far as the reports at hand show, no Colombian troops have been discovered on the southern part of the isthmus, while on the other side the only ones seen have been those on the shore bordering on the Gulf of Darien.
