LIFEBOATS FOR ALL.
Eastern Steamship Corporation to In
crease Equipment.


Because of the terrible lesson taught
by the Titanic disaster the Eastern
Steamship corporation is making plans
steamers in its service with sufficient
cry passenger and every member of the
crew in case of wreck. Measurements
have been made on both the Belfast and
the Camden, which run between this city
and Boston, and the location of the ad-
ditlonal life boats has been determined.
1t is expected that all of them will be
carried upon the hurricane deck.
The various steamers of the Eastern
Steamship corporation already have a
life boat equipment IL to Is per cent. in
excess of that demanded by the present
navigation laws. The lesson of the
Titanic disaster has been mighty one,
however, and the officials of the cor
poration have determined to be on the
side of safety and to provide every pos
sible safeguard for their passengers and
crews. The increase in life boat equip
ment is the voluntary act of the COM
pany and is taken in Difference to public
opinion and the desire to meet any
reasonable demand for increased safety
in marine transportation.
The expense of the additional equip
ment and the changes which it's installa-
ton will involve on the various steamers
of the corporation will involve an ex-
pense of not less than 100000 The
work is being done, despite the fact that
the steamers of the company are never
more than an hours sailing distance
from shore and, in many instances, a
very small fraction of even that amount.
Weekly drills in manning and lower
ing the life boats are held on the COM
pany's steamers and the crews are pro.
ficient in handling them.

LAtiENTABLE.

The kind of talent which employs itself
IN Washington in staving off legislation
Tor the benefit of the National Merchant
Marine and promoting every fool propo-
sltlon designed to injure our shipping
was illustrated beautifully by the dis
t1nguished senator from the interior who,
at the inquiry into the Titanic disaster q
day or two ago, asked the second officer
OF the Titanic the following questions:
Y. Were there any watertight COM
partments on that ship? A. Certainly,
forty or fifty.
Y. Were they known to passengers
and crew? A. Must have been, by the
plans distributed about the ship.
q. Do you know whether any Of the
crew or passengers took to these water
tight compartments as last resort? A.
1t is quite impossible for me to say, sir.
.. Is it. at all likely? A. | think
very unlikely.
Q. Are the watertight compartments
intended as refuge for passengers?
A. Oh, dear, no, sir; not at any time.
They We're designed to prevent the ship
from sinking.
Here is a statesman so ignorant of
maritime affairs that he thought water :
which one might escape from the wet,
yet who would not hesitate to pass upon
any question of maritime moment that
might come up. When Mr.. Frye was in
the Senate, his colleagues knew that he
was master Of the subject and deferred
to his opinion, and subsidy bill after
subsidy bill passed that body large
ly on the strength of his endorsement.
But there is now no recognized maritime
authority in the Senate, and the Western
gentlemen seem blandly content to ex-
hibit their ignorance. Bath Times.
Death and political intrigue recently
have deprived the State of Maine, and
thereby the nation, of its ablest states
men In connection with marine legisla-
ton, thereby giving the maritime nations
Of the world an opportunity to ridicule
as through such ridiculous questions
as appear in the foregoing and which
the British press have freely and just
ly criticized and ridiculed. When we re-
call the great service that Reed, Ding
ley, Frye, Littlefield, and Hale of the
Pine Tree State accomplished in amend
ing old and obsolete statutes and placing
new and practical ones on the books, and
realize that there seem to be only few
members of either House or Senate of
the United States left that really care
whether we have a merchant marine or
not, and these are not from seaport cities
the Bath Times is correct. Senator Frye's
demands in the interest of shipping We're
seldom opposed by his brother senators.
His loss was an irreparable one to that
industry. Ed. Marine Journal.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
No Tolls to be Imposed on Coastwise
American Vessels.

WASHINGTON, May q. By the close
vote Of 100 to 80 the House today re-
fused to permit the imposition of tolls on
coastwise American vessels which use the
Panama Canal. This action was taken
during consideration of the Panama Ca
nal Administration bill
An Intellectual attack was made on the
provision Of the bill prohibiting railroad
owned vessels from using the canal.
Representative Peters Of Massachu-
sets, Democrat, and Higgins of Connec-
ticut, Republican, protested that the pro-
posed prohibition would apply not only to
the canal, but would affect all vessels
owned by railroads and work havoc to a
great business built up along the Atlantic
coast.
Both cited as an illustration the pas
senger and freight steamers plying the
Sound between New York, Providence
and Fall River, all of which vessels are
owned and operated by the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad as part
of its system.

Put COLOR IN
CHEEKS AND LIPS
Experience Of a Sufferer from
Thin Blood Who Thought
She Could Not Live.

The fact that one woman Is bright
eyed, rosy -cheeked, strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de-
pressed is due more often than other
wise to the condition OF the blood. The
way to remedy this condition is to build
up the blood and for this purpose there
is no better tonic than Dr. Williams
Pink Pills They are for both men and
women but they benefit the latter in a
special way.
Mrs Eva L. Richardson, of No. 80
Adams street, Laconia, N. H., says:
"My health began to fail and for four
years was sick. The doctors said |
was suffering from anamia. | was SO
pale and white that my flesh was almost
transparent. was very thin but my
limbs and face were bloated. There
was not a particle of color in my lips.
I suffered from palpitation of the heart
J and could not go up and down stairs
: without stopping two or three times
land holding on the banisters for sup
port. l had such terrible headaches
that it was impossible for me to exert
myself the least bit. My sleep was
broken by smothering spells and in the
day time 1 had dizzy spells. The doc
tor prescribed game for me but L could
eat very little. [ could not even eat
eggs. My mother read in paper about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and of the good they were doing
and, knowing that I could not live on
as I was, thought there would be no
harm in trying them. We were all sur
prised at the result I soon began to
have color in my cheeks and lips and
felt much stronger continued using
the pills until was as well asever. My
health has been good ever since and |
can heartily recommend DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed by the manufacturers to contain
no opiate, narcotic or anything that
could injure the most delicate system.

plished in anamia, rheumatism, general

grocer is blamed for everything. Gus

they have to pay few cents more than
they used to. The grocer, they say, is
making lot of money. They who say
it don't know. The expenses of operat-

Higher Salaries for Teachers.

The first shot in vigorous campaign for
higher salaries for Maine school teachers was
fred in the last issue of the Maine Teachers
Quarterly, magazine edited and published by
Herbert c. Libby, of Waterville. A number
of the pages of the magazine are devoted to
discussion of the wages of Maine school teach
ers and it is pretty evident that the fight is to
be kept up until the 5000 school teachers of
Maine are receiving wages that are large
enough to keep the best teachers at home.

granted by the company and already
in effect here as at other shops of the

The increase is one cent per hour,
or nine cents Ter day on the present

aud a half" for Sunday work. AS a
large number of employees, even in
the Americus shops, are affected by
this increase, the liberality of the
company in granting such concession
is appreciated by them.
Another concession granted. and
one not heretofore accorded this class
of employees, is the issuing to them of
annual passes for themselves and fam

continuous service with the company

MARCH RECEIPTS

EXTRAORDINARY
FARMERS ARE STILL PICKING
Considerable Quantity Yet TO
Be GinDed

March receipts of wagon cotton con-
tinue to hold up well, the local ware
houses handling seventy bales yester-
day, while the sale of bagging and ties
at this late date points to other bales
yet to be brought in. The price, too,
continues to hold up along with re-
ceipts, and in the Americus market
10 IA cents was the offering yester-
day for the better grades.
1t would seem now that the harvest
ing of the late crop will continue we'll
into the middle of March, a condition
heretofore unknown in Southwest
Georgia, with such a quantity of the
staple yet to be picked and sold
While the cotton in the field now is of
inferior quality farmers are 10th to
leave it there and will keep the pick
ers busy until the last fleecy lock is
gathered, as it is worth the cost even
at prevailing prices for poor cotton.
Receipts in Americas will go nearer
the $4,000 bale mark this season than
they have ever gone before.

MORE PORK
IS RAISED
FOR SOUTH
INDUSTRY RAPIDLY GROWING
Government Statistics Tell
the Story

Washington, D. c., March 2.-The
growing Importance of the Southeast
ern section of the United States as a
pork producing region is shown by
an analysis of the live stock statistics
of the United States.
The estimates of the agricultural
department show a total of 65,41O,0G0
hogs on farms and ranges in the
United States on January /, 1912, a
decrease of 10000 as compared with
January /, 1911. On January /, 1912.
the number of hoge in the nine South
eastern states traversed by the lines
of the Southern railway, with the in
creases in each state, were as follows.
Virginia, $4,000, an increase of &c.
600; North Carolina, 100000, an in
crease of $4,000; South Carolina, 797,-
900 an increase of $780, Georgia, g.
09S,O00, an increase of 225,O0O; Flori-
da, $4,000, an increase of $1,000,
Alabama, 1,533,000, an increase Of
114,000; Mississippi, 1,577000 an in
crease of $4,000; Kentucky, 1,724.-
900, an increase of $4,000, and Ten
nessee, 1,574,00O, an increase of 75.-
900. The total number of hogs in the
nine states on January 1st, this year.
was 12,542,000, an increase over jan
uary st, last year, Of $4,000.
Large as these figures are they do
not measure the full progress of the
Southeast as a hog-raising section, for,
with the more extended raising OF
pure-bred hogs, there is correspond
ing advance in the average quality
and weight of Southeastern hogs.

SENTENCE OF
DEAlH STANDS ST
FOR ". WALKER
NO CONMUTATION FOR HIM
WlfG-MurdGrCr to Be HanQcd
Next Friday

Bacon, Ca, March 2-Well, all
right said William B. Walker at 2:30
O'Clock this afternoon when informed
that Governor Brown had refused to
commute his sentence.
Walker was shown the telegram
from Atlanta announcing the govern
or's refusal to interfere with the
sentence of the court. He read it de-
liberately several times, then said:
Il do not care to discuss the matter
just now" Hhere was no trace of
nervousness, no hesitancy, no despair
in his voice. He seemed as cool and
deliberate as ever. His composure
remained the same, though he knew
he was reading the words that pro-
nounced his eternal doom and his
short while to live.
Governor Brown last night complet-
ed his exhaustive study of the records
in the Walker case and when he
reached his office this morning, he
was ready to announce his decision.
This was made known about 1 o'clock.
The governor simply held that the
sentence of the court should be exc
cuted.
This is next to the last step in the
Walker case-the last will be when
Walker steps on the gallows in the
Bibb county jail next Friday morning,
between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock,
to expiate the crime of which he was
lawfully convicted-the burning to
death of his wife,
ALI is in readiness for the hanging.
The gallows, tested and oiled, re-
spends quickly to the pressure of .fhe.
trigger. The rope is creased and plia-
BILE and will moose easily. 1t is in
position, only awaiting it's victim.
Sheriff Hicks will oficiate at the exc
cution, though the preliminary ar
rangements will be perfected by AS
sistant Sheriff Sam Westcott
Walker has said that he will make
statement to the public before he
dies, and as soon as he .recovers from
the shock of the governors action he
will begin its preparation.
