At CARYv|LLE

Special TO The Journal.

CaryviIie, May 25.-Richard Whit
tington, a young man who lives with
his mother and keeps the ferry across
the Choctawhatchee river, near Cary
vile, brought a one-horse wagon load
of the largest white globe turnlpS TO
town Saturday morning ever seen IN
CaryviIIe The writer weighed eight,
which tipped the scale beam at
thirty-tWo pounds, an average weight
of four pounds each. These extra fine
turnips were grown on the bank OF
the river, the fertilizer used being
cotton seed meal.
Emancipation day for the eoiored
people was celebrated last Thursday,
the goth inst. There were three pub
lie gatherings of the colored people
in and around CaryVille, with very
large attendance at each place. Every
thing passed of quietly with sump-
tuous dinner and the usual amount
of music and speech making suited 10
the occasion.
Miss Fife Charles. daughter of
Prof L. l.. Charles, returned home
from the Florida Female College at
Tallahassee last Tuesday, after finish

her many young friends in Caryville.
1t can be well said from present
prospects that the crop of corn was
never more promising. The farmers
have planted a large area. Garden

was presented to Commissioner Of
Labor Neill when he arrived in Al
ianta tonight, attempting to settle
tne Georgia railroad firemen's strike.
The immediate cause of the strike
was the discharge of ten white IRE
men and the filing of their places
with negroes. The demand of the
hIemen is that negroes be eliminated
as far as possible from the Georgia
railroad. The fremenc argue that as
negroes seldom or never become
locomotive engineers in any capacity
TO employ them as fremen means the
shutting out of white men from this
indispensable apprenticeship for en-
gineeTing positions. They have not,
as yet, demanded that all the negro
iremen, be supplanted by whites but
they insisted that the seniority or
white firemen over negroes be recog-
nIzed.
In respect to its negro employees
the railroad has taken the position
that many of them have given <aith-
full service and that 1t cannot agree
to lower the rank of these negroes.
The race issue has been a growth
since the strike rather than its spe-
cific cause which was the refusal or
the railroad TO sign contracts with
the firemen involving various miner
complaints.

ROUNDS.
BY Associated Press.

Memphis, Tenn, May 25.-With
clouds full of rain staring them in the
face, six players OF the flower and
chivalry of southern golf started the
thirty-six hole qualifying round of
the southern championships over the
links of the Memphis Country Clue
this morning. The course was triie
soggy from the spasmodic rains OF
yesterday but the excellent drainage
of the links carried away the major
portion of the moisture and the lau-
rels of old colonel DOGGY were in
danger, according 20 the predictions
made by many of the contestants as
they teed of for the first hole.

KNOWLES THE FAVOEITS.
The fact that the links were trife
heavy caused no apparent change in
choice of favoFiteS among the local
enthusiasts. Ellis Knowles, the east
ern intercollegiate champion OF 1907,
was quoted by many as A 4 to ia
vorite, although there was no betting
on the result.
Lawrence Justice of New Orleans,
is considered as having the best
chance against Knowles unless some
unheralded dark horse" appears and
smashes all calculations The dark
horse" theory failed to worry the
spectators as they say no man in the
south has showed consistent enough
form to defeat Knowles or Eustice at
the rate they have been going in their
preliminary work for the champion
ship grind.
The club house was literally packed
with golfers last night and this morn
ing as the Memphians-with true
southern hospitality-have insisted
upon taking care of all the players
and their spacious club house has
been taxed to the utmost in an al
most futile effort to keep up with the
hospitality of it's members Every
available bit of space is packed with
visiting players and even the bowling
alleys have been cleared up to make
additional room for the disciples of
the royal and ancient game.
The best work in the early squad
was done by Ellis Knowles, of Pen
sacola, the eastern intercollegiate
champion Of 1907, who turned in
score for the first nine holes of the
qualifying round of a well played 81.
Next came w. T. SteaTt, of New Or
leans; Lawrence Eustic, of New Or
leans and w. A Hood of Memphis.
These players made SO for the first
nine holes. The first two men to
finish the 10 holes of the morning
play were G. d. Raine, Jr-, of Mem
phis. with a score of 42-43S5 and w.
I. Tichenor, of Atlanta, who finished
42-41-83.

Autos Substituted for

Railroad Strike

The complete tie up o. the rail-

not due to any serious acts of VIC

matum from several communities

announcement of such intentions that
the possible outcome of attempting
to force trains to run is serious

DELAY OF MAILS IS
CAUSING. MUCH CONCERN.
By AssocIated Press,

Washington, May ~25.-Each day
of the tie-up on the Georgia road
adds greater concern to officials OF
the postoffice department The only
interest the department has in the
matter is the prompt Dispatcher mails
along that line and the Inability to
do so occasions considerable anxiety.
What is of particular concern to OFF,
Gals here is the fact that owing to
the failure of the company to move
it's trains, the mails are becoming
very much congcsted at Atlanta and
Augusta and other places. Every ef-
fort is being made, however, to de-
spatch the mails when train service
is resumed.
Reports are coming in daily to the
department from business men and
others all along the Georgia railroad
indicating that the lack of mail facii-
ties is proving a source of great in
convenience and loss, Appeals are
coming in asking that every effort
be made to provide the citizens with
their mails. So anxious are they to
get some kind OF service that auto
purpose.
NO INFORMATION RECEIVED.
Up to the time the cabinet met to-
day not a word had been received
by Attorney General Wickersham
from District Attorney Erwin in At
lanta, regarding the Georgia railroad
strike. The department of Justice
has given this official a free hand
to deal with the situation but it is
expected he will report promptly what
measures he has adopted. Following
the ordinary course it would be the
duty of the dictrict attorney to apply
i'm, 4 faIx tn IN,
Atlanta for an order restraining the
strikers from interfering with United
Suites mail through the stoppage OF
tTa1dc over the Georgia railroad.
Sh0H1d there be any sign oS dis
position of the part of the strikers or
of their sympathizers in Atlanta or
i'll any of the towns through which
the Georgia railroad runs to resist
this order, the United States court
will Immediately be requested to ap-
point a sufficient number of deputy
marShais to accompany the trains and
see that the law is enforced. State
lines will not operate In this case in
asmuch as the order will be issued
by federal tribunal and in the end
ii the deputy marshals cannot carry
out the courts orders, recourse will
be had TO the services of United
States troops to open up the lines.
STEWART MAY MAKE TRIP.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Stewart who left late last night
from Indianapolis, to attend a post
masters convention, is considering
the advisability of going to Georgia
to look into the situation with respect
to the movement of the mails on
the Georgia railroad. The railway
mail clerks convention will be held
in Atlanta beginning next Tuesday
and Mr.. Stewart has been invited to
attend. 1t is believed here that Mr.
Stewards presence in Georgia would
be helpful in clarifying the situation
regarding the dispatch of the mails
The superintendent of the Railway
Mail Service at Augusta has been in
structed TO spare no expense or eff
fort in moving the mails.
