BOTTLE IN OCEAN
NETS CREW 500
Vessel Picks Up First One of
Number Put AfIoat to Ad-
vertiSe Texas Town.

GALVESTON. TEXAS, Sept 49,
The Factory association of Wichita
Falls, Texas, is responsible for a unique
competition which was made known
here today on the arrival from Hon
duras of the schooner Two Sisters of
Panay. Captain Morgan, of that boat
wired the Factory association of Wich-
tia Falls and was wired the sum Of
500 in return. This is the story:
While still in the Yucatan channel
one Of the sailors on the Two Sisters
of Panay sighted a large bottle floating
on the surface Of the gulf waters
Thinking it might be communication
from a lost ship, it was picked up after
much trouble and was found to contain
miniature automobile and mimeo-
graph statement, as follows:
THE Factory association of Wichita
Falls, at a recent banquet, decided
upon a unique contest. e., to place
small models of different articles man
ufactured here in bottles specially
fashioned by a local bottle factory.
these bottles to be cast upon the waters
of the Wichita river, and 500 to be
paid to the man picking up a bottle
first, the purse to be furnished by the
nineteen factory men whose bottles are
overlooked. The finder of this bottle
should wire the Wichita Falls Factory
association, and, provided it be the
first notice, 800 will be paid"
Captain Morgan, on his arrival at
Galveston, sent the telegram and
proved to be the first discovereD. The
bottle had fioated so miles in the Wich-
ita river, $50 miles in Red river, 200
miles down the Mississippi and over
600 miles into the gulf, well into the
Strait of Yucatan.
Captain Morgan bought refresh
ments for every sailor on the Two Sis
ters Of Panay, as well as for everybody
else who happened to be in reach after
he received his 500.

GIRARD WILL HAVE
THE FIRST SOCIALIST
MAYOR IN ALABAMA

COLUMBUS, GA. Sept 18.-When
Captain ]. P. Marchant. the newly
elected mayor of Girard, Ala, takes the
oath of office in October he will become
the first Socialist mayor in Alabama
The election of Captain Marchant
was due to two things. The first was
that he is member of the Socialist
party. and the second was that the
people of Girard had grown tired of
ring rule. The election of Marchant
was the first defeat the ring had en-
countered in twenty years. He was
fought by practically all of the city
officials, county officials and strong in
f1uences in Girard and Russell county,
in which the town is situated.

Special Cable to The Georgian.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-William Ran
dolph Hearst writes column letter II
The London Express replying to Eng
lish press criticism on his exposition o
Americas position in the Panama CUES
ton. After answering the newspaper
comments in detail, he continues;
AS for myself, Home Rule
American, please believe that I am
not quite as yellow as am painted
and am only immoderate in opposi-
ton to injustice and intolerant in
the presence of untruth.
confess quite frankly that en-
ploy such powers Of publicity as I
have for the purpose Of accomplish
ing reforms, and that use them at
All times as forcefully and effect
lively as ! possibly can.
Indeed, ardently believe that the
nobiest and most important func-
taon Of Journalism is fearlessly TO
couHsrnn what 10 bad In the attempt
20 ruform II, and freely to praise
what r. good in the effort to en-
courage a.
In tae pursuance Of that policy l
Rsave criticised many matters in my
own country and some things in
HSnafnnd only with the sincere de-
sire OF stimulating the public sense
10 q realization of the necessity of
improving conditions and achieving
progress.
In international affairs l believe,
as have said, that my country is
actuated by the highest motives
and is inspired by the fundamental
principle OF equal rights and uni
versal justice, and l support this
enlightened foreign policy with an
earnestness born of sincere convic-
ton and patriotic devotion.
But confidence in my own coun-
try and affection for my own people
do not prevent me or other Ameri-
cans from entertaining a genuine
regard for the people of Great
Britain. if only the English news
papers, by a little more moderation.
will permit us to do so.
This Panama canal question Is Of
great sentimental Importance to
the United States, but of absurdly
small Importance TO Great Britain.
To allow it, therefore, to interfere
in any way with the cordial rela-
lions existing between the United
States and Great Britain would be
most unfortunate.
In a better understanding be-
tween the people of the United
States and the people of Great
Britain in the harmonious cooper
alton OF such great nations for
righteous and unseiffsh ends lies
one Of the most potent possibilities
for the as6vAncement of civiliza-
ton, for the establishment of uni
versal peace and the attainment of
the a1trufsttc aims Of humanity.
Therefore. I can not but advise a
rfttle more consideration on the
part of the English press for the
seusdbirties Of the people of the
United States, a clearer oompre-
hension Of the fact that our sense
Of honor and our devotion to high
err ideals is quite az great as that OF
any people upon tho face of the
globe, and, finally, @ reaftzatfon that
abuse of us does not constitute to
ment.
