agreement which led to the nomina-
ton. Stepping up to White, and put
ting his hand on the top of the edi-
tors head, he exclaimed in the voice
of a professor of phrenology discours-
ing on a subject:
IF the railroads nominated me for
the United States senate, as is charged,
here is their principal instrument in
that transaction"
The audience roared with laughter
and applause, and White tried to wrig-
gle his head out of the senator's grip.
Then Long read an editorial which
White printed in the Emporia Gazette
Immediately after that campaign, in
which Long was highly praised. White
laughed and rubbed his hands good ma
turedly during the reading.
Long followed this up by reading a
similar editorial from Bristow's Sa-
lima Journal, published about the same
time. Bristow was supporting Long at
that time.
Longs Senatorial Record.
1t was 9:45 by this time, and Long
had been speaking hard. His voice was
getting husky. But he opened up on
the second part of his speech, which
pertained to his record as a United
States senator. few Of the audience
left at this stage in the proceedings.
There are no charges In this list

Begged Longs Pardon.
Senator Long proved a complete alibi
bill relating to the sale of Indian coal
lands. He showed that he voted con-
trary to what had been charged.
IT was wrong. said White, "and ]
beg your pardon"
"You beg my pardon" retorted Long

stricken from the list. They will all go
the same way before this campaign is
ended"
Longs friends in the audience stamp
ed and shouted with delight at this first
sign of weakening on the part of their
adversary.
Long referred to the fact that Whites
accusations were out of harmony with
the policy of Mckinley, and put
stinger into it with the statement that
it wasn't the first time that White had
been out of harmony with Mckinley
But this didn't bring a very hearty re-
sponse for some reason.
White Interrupts Quoting Curtis.
Long replied at considerable length
to the charge that his vote on the
compromise of the Union Pacific debt
was dictated by the railroads.
Curtis says that it was your vote
on that bill that put you into the
United States senate" interrupted
White.
do you believe everything that
Curtis says?" Numbered Long in re-
ply. you seem to take the position
that the junior senator from Kansas
is a man who can be trusted for YER
acity, while the senior senator can
not"
The speaker then discussed what
White charged was a four million
dollar grab" of the railroads in con-
nection with the construction of the
union station in Washington. After
explaining his vote in favor of that
bill. he said, turning to White:
But we got the union station, and
it will be ready to receive you when

White waved his hand to the au-
dience to cheer, and then leaned back
in his chair and laughed.
AS Senator Long faced Mr.. White
and shot into him the closing SEN
tences Of his defense of his vote on
the Elkins bill, White threw his head
back, and so1emnly winked one eye
at the senator.
Called White a Modern Populist.
Senator Long demanded to know
why White had not included in his
list of Wall street votes the vote
which Long cast at the 54th congress
against free silver, and led to his de-
| feat for reelection.
Because you were right" said
White. Then White clapped his hands
| and led in the applause.
II don't know" said Senator Long
| when the applause subsided, whether
you were cheering my vote, or the
fact that was defeated"
| Mr.. Whites reply was lost in g
storm Of applause

Emporia, Kan, June 11.-If Senator
Chester I. Long showed courage in COM
ing to Emporia, the home of William
Allen White and the Emporia Gazette
to defend his congressional record, MT
White also showed courage by appear
ing on the platform at the Whitley op-
ero house last night with Senator Long
and facing the most terrific lombard
ment Of oratory, argument, invective
and sarcasm ever delivered in the his
tory of Kansas politics, perhaps.
Senator Long literally pinned Mr..
White to the wall, and like naturalist
dissecting a new species of insectivora,
proceeded to pull him to pieces in full
view of an audience which packed the
house from orchestra to roof. With
evidence and arguments which were
irrefutable, he tore Mr.. Whites attacks
to tatters, and thrice forced the En-
poria editor to publicly give notice that
he would retract the charge under con-
sideration. And when it was all over,
Mr.. White said:
Senator Long was absolutely fair
and just. 1 have no complaint 10
make"
1t was a hard position for Senator
Long, for he faced a hostile audience
in hostile town. In that he was at a
disadvantage. But Mr.. White accepted
an invitation to occupy seat on the
platform with Long, and there Long
had White on the hip. for it was Long
who was making the speech, and White
was simply used as Exhibit A" The
meeting commenced promptly on time,
and Mr. White was a little late. AS
White stepped briskly from the wings
and walked to q seat at the center of
the stage on the front row, Senator
Longs remarks were interrupted by d
burst of applause which continued for
several seconds. 1t showed the temper
of the audience. It's heart was with
White, the towns most famous citizen.
But the applause didn't phaze the Kan
sas senator. Without appearing to
notice that White had entered, he pro-
ceeded with his remarks. Then sud-
denly turning upon White, he hurled
into his teeth his denunciation.
'On this proposition you and Bristow
lined up with Lemuel Quigg of New
York, who was a representative of Wall
street if there ever was one. Did you
and Mr.. Bristow make this charge
against me in sincerity, or to pervert
the record and make a case against me
before the people of Kansas?"
Mr.. White leaned back in his chair
and laughed.
It's all right to treat this as a mat
ter of levity among the people who
know you." hissed Mr.. Long. You
can't deceive the people here who
know you for what you are. I know
and these people here know, that you
write fiction all the time. But the peo.
pie of the state demand facts"
Whites First Admission of Error.
After Senator Long had presented hi.
defense to Whites charge that he hat
voted for a land grant Of ten millior
acres to the Atlantic & Pacific railroad
company, Mr.. White raised his hant
for attention and said:
You're right about that wa.
wrong"
Then we have reduced the charge,
against me to thirty-four," said Sen

LID ON VERY TIGHT
IN AMERICUS
Clubs Are Swinging for
Any Blind Tiger.

That the lid is on tight in Americus,
Sunday and every other day, is the
opinion of leading prohibitionists. In
fact, very sharp watch is being kept
for the appearance of any little blind
tigers which might lift their heads
even for one NEW.
A few days ago man stated to a
leading prohibitionist that there were
forty places in the city where a drink
of the outlawed beverages could be
obtained. On being pressed to know
if he had any proof, or was merely
talking through his tile, the wise
one climbed down and said that he
knew of no proof whatever that the
law was being violated
1t is known that one or two places
suspected Of dishing out drinks on
the sly, have been closely watched
but no proof whatever was obtained
1t later developed that an odor of
whiskey and an embryonic jag which
had been seen had been acquired by
express.
So that it is asserted most conf
IDENTIFY by prohibition leaders that
there is practically no violation of
the prohibition law in Americus
An investigation of the incoming
shipments, both by express and
freight, has been. made. 1t is stated
that express receipts are small ano
gradually growing less, and that
shipments by freight have almost en-
tirely disappeared.
However, the Anti-Saloon League
has club ready for ahy tiger which
may dare to venture forth from it's
lair, and will Whack the beast over
the head on it's very first appearance.
In fact, the prohibitionists are fairly
itching for a chance to swat the
beast, if he dares to venture out.

The agricultural college in Ameri-

Der to the boys and girls of this state
desirous of obtaining an agricultural
education. This has been made

to be prorated among the eleven

CREAMERY GO. NAMES
EXECUTIVE COM.
Site Will be Selected Mon
day Morning.

Harmony and enthusiasm marked
the first meeting of the stockholders
of the Americus Creamery Associa-
ton, held yesterday morning. Mr.. j.
L. Williams, who has been securing
subscriptions to the stock, announced
that the full sixty shares had been
taken, thus insuring the creamery.
The following executive committee
was elected to have charge of the en-
terprise: Messrs. j. VIM Walker, R.
L. Maynard, c. c. Hawkins, c. j. Clark
and G. NJ Eldridge
Following the stockholders meeting,
the new Executive Committee met
and organized by the election of Mr..
j. VIM Walker as chairman and Mr..
G. M. Eldridge as secretary. The
committee was in session for some
time carefully studying the contract
between the new company and the
Chicago company which is to build
the creamery.
At the close of the session it was
announced that another meeting of
the Executive Committee would be
held Monday morning at 8 o'clock at
the city hall for the purpose of Sc
lecting a site. All property owners
having desirable site are requested
to be present at the meeting Mon
day, or to notify Mr.. G. NJ Eldridge
in the meantime 1t is desired that
the very best location possible may
be secured, and everybody who has a
possible site is urged to let it be
known
This morning Mr.. w B. Wort, one
of the travelling mechanics of she
company, will arrive, and his expert
services will be used in determining
on the best location available
AS soon as the place is fixed, work
will be begun on the plant, certainly
sometime next week. A concrete
floor will be laid, and frame build
ing erected. BY Nov. 1 it is expected
that the creamery will be in full
swing,

COTTON Is POURING IN
BUT SALES ARE LIGHT
AmeriCuS Got Several Bales
Friday.

Americus warehouses did not
receive yesterday the amount of cot
ton expected, although some fifty or
sixty bales were brought in during
the day Hundreds of bales are open
in the fields hereabout and picking
has progressed favorably during the
week. Not few farmers, however,
are disinclined to sell cotton under
ten cents and are holding their bales,
a fact which may account in part for
the light receipts thus far. The To-
cal market was a trif1e stronger yester-
day and 1-2 cents was the offering
for best grades. Usually the ware
house receipts here are larger on
Friday than on Saturday, but The
rather light receipts yesterday in
duces the belief that today's receipts
will be the heaviest of the week. The
hot weather is causing the staple to
open very rapidly which from every
locality come reports of heavy crop
deterioration.

THOS. DIXON MAY
BE seen HERE
Taking Part of Ku KIuxer
in 1.-The Traitor

According to press agent story
sent out from New York Thomas
Dixon, Jr., preacher, author and
playwright, will likely-or it mighC
be possibly-assume the role of
actor in his play THE Traitor" The
role which it is said appeals to Mr..
Dixon is that of Dan Wylie, a noun
taineer member of the Ku Klux Klan.
All this is of interest to Americus
for the reason that THE Traitor is
booked to appear here in November.
Already the local billboards carry the
paper for this play, resplendent in
saffron hues and suggestive of shi
ring incidents.
1t will be recalled that "The Clans
man." the first of Mr.. Dixons drama
tizations, was scheduled for Ameri-
Gus a few seasons ago, but on ac-
count of race friction at that time i'll
this city, it was deemed inexpedient
to permit the play to appear. On the
first tour of this play Mr. Dixon
made a series of curtain speeches, and
should he go out with ''The Traitor"
this fall he will no doubt make a
speech in the local opera house. He
will thus fill the triple role of au-
thor, dramaticist and actor
Whether Mr. Dixon appears in AM
ericus or not, the production OF
"The Traitor" will be looked for
ward to with much interest by the
lovers of the dramatic art

OFFICER OF STATE TO
INSPECT ALL DRUGS
Passage of Bill InsureS a
Pure Article.

Americus druggists are pleased
with the passage of the bill creating
the Office of inspector of drugs for
the state. The bill is now ready for
the signature of the Governor, and as
soon as it becomes a law there will
be a meeting of the State Board of
Pharmacy and the selection of a COM
petent man to fill the office will be
made. The druggists say that by the
appointment of the officer the sale of
drugs by unlicensed persons will be
stopped. 1t will be the duty of the
inspector to see that every person in
the State selling drugs, whether drug
gists, grocers or others, have
license to do so. The inspector will
also see that the law regarding the
sale of narcotics is strictly observed.
This alone, they say, will result in il
vast amount of good.

STATE FARM IN
SOUTH GEORGIA
Com. Hudson Discussed
Convict Question.

Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson is in Americus for a few days
rest, having waited until the adjourn
ment of the legislature before getting
away
In discussing the convict lease
question with a representative of the
Times-Recorder, Mr.. Hudson said:
Il believe the conyicts ought to be
worked on the public roads. This in
my opinion will be the disposition
made of the perplexing question at
the extra session.
Some of the smaller counties would
not care to incur the expense of ma
chinery, but two or three of these
counties could work together and
needed in small counties as we'll as
large ones. The other counties ought
to have first call on the convicts not
wanted by the county to which they
have been prorated Good roads are
needed and I see no other way nearly
so good to get them
All convicts should be strictly pro-
tected by the state, and human treat
ment assured. Cripples should be
kept on the farm, as we'll as the life
termers, who are harder to guard.
Just at the present time the state
has no money to build accommodation
or to buy additional farm lands, and
will not have by April /. If the lease
is extended for eighteen months | be-
lieve that the money should be laid
aside to provide land and a place for
safe keeping.
"One suggestion is that the present
farm be used at Milledgeville to it's
full capacity and that another farm
be bought in South Georgia. Good
cheap land can be found in this sec
tion of the state and the convicts
worked to advantage thereon.
Il expect that the extra session
will pass either the Holder or Fielder
bills promptly, with amendments, and
that the session will be short If the
lease system is abolished, the state
needs year or two to prepare for the
change"

TORE HIDES OF TIGERS
But GAME is CLOSE
Errors Made Responsible
for Defeat.

BY a close score of 4 to the Lees
burg team won out in the game with
the Tigers here yesterday Costly
errors upon the part of that plucky
bunch aided in their defeat, while 9TH

them to the bad. Fort pitched a fine
game and struck out more men than
did King for the visitors, while at the
same time giving up fewer hits
Brooks caught for the Tigers in place
of Hooks, who was out of the city.
The visitors showed up here with
several players who have figured
with heavier teams during the season

the Tigers will go on the road for
two more games next week.
