Joseph Sposcinski. aged "a years.

afternoon. The drowning took place
at about / 30 o'clock. while Sposcin-

him proved futile. and the man sank
In twelve feet OF water.

formed and after two hours diving the
body was found by Harold Jones. a 10

ing that representation this state has
In the Senate.
During the past week Senator Wat
son made a grand stand play by voting
In favor OF an amendment TO the So
called farmers free list bill that would
place coal on the free list. The paid
press OF the Watson-Chilton combin-
alton in Washington and Charleston
played the story up in glaring head
lines and hailed the coal baron a
modern saint" but before their ap-
plause had subsidized. IL was discovered
that his colleague Senator Chiffon had
voted against the amendment, thus
making IL a SAVIOR. IL was then
stated that Chiffon voted against the
amendment because OF a decision OF
the Democratic caucus that the Demo
Gratis would support tho original bill
without amendments. The corporation
senator from Charleston seems 10
be an adept at voting against some
thing that he pretends to favor and
gliding behind the curtain that some
rule or other. prescribed by a caucus
or by himself. makes his course neces-
sary.

Senator Watson, bucked the Demo
cratic caucus ON the farmers free list

his party needed his vote against the

Democratic party are trying TO picture
a fine record for the gold dust twins"
hut the old-lihe Democrats that he
says ne represented are convinced
that he is not regular when he fails TO
do what his party in caucus decides
shall he done and then makes grand
stand plays by pairing or absenting

ALLOWED BY GOV. SLATON TO
GO TO LITTLE ONES BEDSIDE.
Heart Was Touched, and
He Sent Noted Convict to Column
bus Under Guard.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Thomas Edgar
Stripping, who is serving a life
term at the state farm at Milledge-
vile, reached the city this morning
to be at the bedside of his baby
child, who is dangerously i'll. Strip
ling came to Columbus accompanied
by two guards through the courtesy
of Governor Slaton, who on yesterday
afternoon issued an order permitting
him to come to this city.
Mrs. Stripping and her children
have been residing in Columbus near
the corner of Twenty-sixth and Jones
streets since coming TO Georgia from
Virginia, and when her child became
dangerously i'll she called on Attor-
ney c. F. Mclaughlin to see if he
could not arrange for her husband
to come to Columbus to see it.
Mr.. Mclaughlin at once took the
matter up with Governor SlatOn with
the result that the order was issued
allowing Stripping to come to Column
bus, where he will remain as long as
necessary. The guards were given
instructions when they left Milledge-
vile to allow Stripping to stay here
as long as his presence is needed.
Mr.. Stripling's child is in a dying
condition at the home of his wife,
and it is not thought that it can re-
cover, 1t is a very pathetic case,
and the family has the deepest sym
pathy of hundreds of friends in their
trouble, and the hope is expressed
that the little one may recover.
Stripping, under the care of his
guards, went directly to his home on
Rose Hill when he arrived in the
city this morning. He was dressed
in citizens clothes. He has been at
the bedside of his child all day, and
every attention is being shown the
family by their friends, who are
striving to make their burden as
| light as possible.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-11-29
THIS is SOME CHIMNEY.
One in Wales, Two Miles High. Can
not BE Beaten.

Wales has probably the longest
chimney in the world 1t is two
miles high and has a brook running
through it. The chimney is connect
ed with the copper works at Cyma-
Won, near Aberavon. This is how it
came to be built. About sixty years
ago the copper smoke from these
works was the plague of the neigh
boring countryside. II settled upon
and destroyed the grass for 20 miles
around, while the sulphur and arse
mic in the fumes affected the hoofs
OF cattle, causing gangrene. The
company tried all sorts of devices to
remedy the trouble, but in vain.
Finally Robert Brenton, who was
later engineer of the Sind railway in
India, solved the problem. The cop
per works are at the foot of a high.
steep mountain. Mr.. Brenton con
structed fue or chimney running
continuously from the base to about
100 feet above the summit, following
the natural slope of the ground. The
brick which lined it, and of which it
was largely constructed, was burned
close by. A small spring, rushing out
near the mountain top, was turned
through almost it's entire length to
cOndenSe the smoke. Once a year it
is swept out, and about a ton of
precipitated copper obtained. Its
top can be seen for between 40 and
so miles.
