JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS
MAKES Presentation
One of the Features of the Shup's
Stay in the City Was the Visit To-
day of Five Hundred Orphans From
Nearby Asylums.

NATCHEZ, Miss, May 22.-The
principal event of today was the pre-
sentation at the opera house of the
magnificent silver punch bowl by the
citizens of Natchez to the battleship.
The speech of presentation was made
by John Sharp Williams and Capt.
Firemen accepted in behalf of the
ship. The punch bowl and service is
as handsome as the silver service to
be presented in the name of of the
state of Mississippi at Horn Island
June 1, and cost $1,000.
The other entertainment today con.
sisted of a reception at the Prentiss
club at 2 o'clock, a baseball game at
O'Clock for the sailors. A banquet
will be given tonight at o'clock
Capt. Fremant announces that he
would do his utmost to see that the
men kept good order and were not
permitted to imbibe more than is
good for them. He will not permit
any boat to land at the ship from VII
dalia, the wet town on the Louisiana
side, and if the liberty men want
to go there they will have to take the
ferry from Natchez. This came about
from the act of saloon employees from
Vidalia. who passed around cards in
viting the men to the Louisiana side,
where they could have all the beer
they wanted.

MUCH UNEASINESS
over THE SITUATION
Trains Are Being Delayed, and a Sher-
iff and Mayor Report That They
Cannot Guarantee a Preservation of
Order.

ATLANTA, May 22.-Now that the
race question has become a para
mount issue in the strike of firemen on
the Georgia railroad, it is feared that
much strife will result Negro strike
breakers and their guards are being
dragged from trains between Atlanta
and Augusta and beaten and more
serious outbreaks are feared.
The railroad says it is much more seri-
Gus than it was at this time last night.
White Fireman Sloan was forciby
elected from the Buckhead train at
Thomson, forty miles out, last night.
The passengers and mail laid over
there and missed all connections. A
freight loaded with perishable goods
is on the side track at Lithonia, near
Atlanta Three firemen were sent to
it, but not one reported. The "Pica-
yune," train due here at S:95 a. M, is
still tied up at Camak. Three trains
are side tracked at Dearing. A mixeo
train two through freights and two
local freights, are tied up at Union
Point. One through freight is tied
up at Thomson. At Thompson today
an angry crowd jerked the armed
guard from an engine, beat him, and
ordered him back to Augusta. There
is no train moving on the Athens
branch. One sheriff and a mayor have
reported that they will not be able
to guarantee preservation of order.
