THIS 25.CENT MEAL HAS COST S35O,OOO
WAS BACK OF GEORGIA RAIL
ROAD STRIKE. UNUSUAL STO-
RY TOLD AT HEARING.

ATLANTA.-Discharge of flag
man because he sent in bill to the
Georgia railroad for so cents for two
lunches, which he testified were nee
essary to make him a meal, instead of
25 cents for one, was one of the two
incidents that recently caused the en-
ployes of the system to strike and
cost the state, the railroad and the
employees $350,000, according to tes-
timony in the arbitration hearing to-
day.
Trainmaster J. H. Chapman of the
railroad testified that it was neces-
sary to send the bill of Flagman Nor
gan, containing the item of so cents
back to the employee three times be-
fore the bill for the meal was chang
ed to rs cnts. 1t was explained in
the hearing today for the first time
that the flagman had eaten two OF
the lunches at Camak, Ga, in order
to appease his appetite. The train
master explained that every one
knew that the lunches cost only 25
cents each and that the road dis
charged the fiagman for apparent
disregard of honesty.
The other incident that led to the
strike was the discharge of Conductor
]. T. Paschal for violation of the
federal law providing that trainmen
must not be on duty longer than six
teen hours continually.

NEW WAY TO DIG POTATOES.
This Firm Blows Them Up, and When
They Hit Earth Are Clean.

A farmer residing near Muggsville,
according to a report from that place,
is using a novel method in harvesting
his late potatoes and is meeting with
success. The farmer selects row
of potatoes and spreads carbide over
each hill Then he sprinkles with
water. He carbides and sprinkles a
number of rows, then goes to the
end of the first row and by means
of a torch attached to a long pole
ignites the gas which has accumulat-
ed from the dampened carbide. Sud
denly there is an explosion and the
hill of potatoes scars high into the
air Hills follow one another until
the entire carbided rows have been
blown out.
The farmer is quoted as saying
that when the potatoes reach the
earth from their flight they are free
from dirt, are perfectly dry, are not
marred by the explosion and are
ready for the cellar.
Some of the Terrell county farmers
who have raised such huge potatoes
might save heavy labor by trying this
method.

WOMEN OUT AFTER HERETICS
THE BAPTIST BOARD OF MISSION
WORKERS MUST BE ORTHODOX
Heated Argument Over the Mortgage
ing of Bessie Tiff College Was
Narrowly AVerted.

MOULTRIE, Ga.-Georgia Baptist
women are out after heretics in state
UNCONVENTIONAL work, and they have
demanded that a yard stick shall be
applied to all those who work under
the state board in Georgia in fu-
ture.
A communication was read in the
convention this morning from Mrs.
George Westmoreland, president of
Georgia, suggesting that committee
of orthodox ministers be authorized
and required to make examination
of all preachers and workers work
ing under the direction of the state
board of missions relative to their
orthodoxy.
The committee as named was COM
posed of Robert VanDeyenter, ]. w
Jenkins and j. C. Brewton. This
committee held an early meeting and
reported back to the convention ask
ing that ]. j. Bennett, E. G. Dargan
and John E. White be added to the
committee. The request was granted.
The committee to which the re-
port of the executive committee was
referred reported back to the con-
vention making criticism of the act
ion of the executive committee in al
lowing the property of Bessie Tiff
College to be mortgaged in violation
of the rules of the convention.
Cuts OFF Heated Argument.
A motion to adjourn cut off a heat
ed discussion that possibly would
have followed this report.
Judge T. A. Parker offered a reso-
luton this morning, which was
adopted, and which provides that no
educational institution shall have the
endorsement of the convention
in securing edowment unless the til
tie to the property is in the conven-
ton in fee simple.

TO THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
Appeal May Be Made to Require Cen
trail to Operate Shoe Fly Between
Fort Gaines and Smithville.


The hope of obtaining another pas
senger train on the Southwestern di-
vision of the Central railroad has not
been abandoned. The following from
the current issue of the Fort Gaines
Georgian gives interesting information
on the subject:
1T is likely that the application
recently made to the Central of Geor-
gia railroad to put on passenger
train running between Fort Gaines
and Smithville will be presented to
the Georgia railroad commission.
"Mr. r. C. McAllister, one of the
committee named to push the propo-
sition, received a letter Tuesday from
Chairman j. L. Jay of Shellman stat
ing that he had been advised by a
prominent Macon attorney That it
would be we'll to submit the petition
and data to the railroad commission.
The attorney gave it as his opinion
that the commission would be
likely to issue an order favoring the
petitioners, but he could not, OF
course, guarantee anything.
Mr. McAllister has written Chair
man Jay to take whatever action he
deems advisable and necessary to
achieve favorable results, and assured
him that Fort Gaines will cheerfully
bear its part of any reasonable ex-
pense.
1T will be remembered that the
committee recently met and cOnferr-
ed with Mr.. ]. c. Halle and other
Central officials in Macon. The rail-
road men gave the committee a re-
spectful heaEing, but seemed not in
clined to grant the request. The in
ference is that the train will not be
put on unless ordered by the railroad
commission"

Condemned Man is Losing Hope and Eats Little-MysteriOus Woman
 Appears.

Boston, Mass, May 15.-Within "A hours Clarence V. T. Richeson, now within the shadow of the electric chair in the Charlestown state peni- tentiary must know his fate. He ilas one chance left between him and the electric chair.
 Governor Foss, in statement issu- ed tonight, said that his mind was still open and that he had yet to hear from two of the alienists who have examined the prisoner. The eXecu- tive council meets tomorrow after noon and the Governor may put Richeson's fate up to his advisors.
 In the meantime Richeson is los ing hope, his appetite has almost completely failed him and today he let his meals sit for hours before he tasted them and then ate but little. He called frequently for his spiritual advisors and had long and earnest talks with them.
