LABOR FEDERATION
sPREDICTS GENERAL
STRIKE OF MINERS
Official Statement Is Issued
Saying 100000 Workers
I Would Quit.

A general coal strike, involving be.
tween $4,000 to 100000 btuminous and
anthracite miners, was officially pre-
dicted today by the American Federation
of Labor.
From present indica tons there will
be general suspension of coal mining
In both the anthracite and bituminous
coal fields" said the American Fedora
ton of Labor in an official statement
given out today. Efforts to reach an
amicable adjustment of the differences
between the miners and the operators
pave thus far failed. President Taft
has instructed Charles p. NeiIl, Com
missioner of Labor, to look into the
Rituation and use his influence to avert
strike, and he is now actively en-
Eaged In an effort to bring the opera
tors and miners together.
! In some parts of the anthracite fields
preparations are already underway to
employ strike breakers, but It is not
thought by either President Gompers or
Secretary Morrison that this will be
generally done"
Secretary Nagel, of Commerce and
Labor, said today that Commissioner
Charles P. Neill, who Is now in CIeye-
4s' .snd' Ohio, will take no active part in
sioner Neill is merely keeping himself
Informed of the situation" said NageI
He will take no active part, but will
stay in the field so that he will be able
to act intelligently at the proper time
] sincerely hope that strike will be
averted."
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, said today that
organized labor was doing everything it
could to avert a general strike, but that
conditions had changed so radically in
ten years that the men could no longer
AFFORD to work at the old wage scale.
THE high cost of living directly is to
blame for the strike said Gompers
THE men cannot work for society.
There has been no increase given the
coal men nten years"

MOORE TAKES 4 KILL:
ING SHOT At VIM.
JENNINGS BRYAN.

Answering the demand made
by E. H. Moore, Gov. Harmon's
Ohio campaign manager, for
proof of his assertion that Gov.
ernor Harmon is reactionary and
a tool of Wall street." ColoneI
William Jennings Bryan said be
relied upon circumstantial evi.
dence to make his case. Te
which Mr.. Moore replied as fol
lows:
Il challenge you on the facts
of your letter. Your premises
are as much at fault as your
conclusion.
Il assert that not for 20 years
before his election as Governor
h a Governor Harmon repre-
sented as attorney any corpora
ton controlled by the Morgan
interests.
You assert that the Wall
street papers are supporting Nh.
Harmon.
Il wish you would name them.
If any paper can be so styled it
is the New York Evening Post.
It is supporting Mr.. Wilson.
For years you have denounced
the New York World as the
spokesman of the interests.
It also is supporting Mr.. Will
son. The remaining New York
papers, while some of them are
treating Governor Harmon fairly.
as they should do, are not sup
porting him.
The favor in which a Presi-
Dental candidate is held in Wal
street may be judged by the size
of his campaign fund. It is q
matter of common knowledge
that, as Henry Waterson lately
said, Mr. Wilson, your preferred
candidate, has a campaign fund
unequaled since the days OF
Mark Hanna.
You charged that Governor
Harmon failed to support you in
1896. In 1900 and 1908 he gave
you, as you know, his loyal and
enthusiastic support. In the
first named year he presided
over your Cincinnati meeting.
In the latter year you cam
paigned Ohio with him. and he
repeatedly said your own cleo
ton was more important than his
own.
las to your charge that in
1904 Governor Harmon helped to
nominate Parker, Governor Har-
mon was himself a candidate in
1904. The Ohio delegation be-
lieving that it was utterly inn
possible to secure his nomina-
ton did not present his name.
The delegation then divided upon
the question of supporting
Parker, 81 members, including
myself, voting against him.
The remaining Is followed
the lead of the Southern Demo-
Gratis and voted for him, voting
the whole delegation under the
unit rule. You know this as |
challenged the vote in the con-
vention and the delegation was
polled. Governor Harmon had
absolutely nothing to do with
the manner in which the delega-
ton voted.
"As late as 1907 Mr.. Wilson
read with relish and entire
agreement the reaetionary
speech of Adrion Fl. Joline, the
Vice-President of the NJ. K. and
T. railroad to his Board of Di-
rectors, wherein you and other
democratic Democrats were re-
ferred to as unthinking dema-
gogues, and Governor Wilson
then expressed the hope that
some means might be found of
knocking Mr. Bryan into a
cooked hat"

WILL FIGHT ISSUE
OF COMPANY BONDS

Council last night took action to
fight the issue of $4,000 of bonds
by the Americus Gas and Electric
Company, which was advertised re-
Gently by that corporation. A resolu-
ton was passed authorizing the ap-
pointing of a committee, composed Of
the mayor and two aldermen, for the
purpose Of seeing that the city is re-
presented when the matter comes up
before the railroad commission later.
Alderman Allen in bringing up the
matter for consideration said that he
considered the project to capitalize
the Gas and Electric Company at
$4,000 as one that is beyond all
bounds of reason when the real value
of the local gas and electric plants are
taken into consideration. For that
reason he asked that the city be rep
resented when the matter comes ur
before the railroad commission.

SMALLER NUMBERS SOLD OUT
Bad Weather Exhausted the
Local Stock.
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days to make one sad ard
hlu0ber,"
Into each life. must come the ca'',
Go forth al.d shoe your feet with
rLbber!"
--Rnynies from Milledgeyil!e.

SAmericus was practically in the
grip OF an "over-shoe famine" yester-
day, q condition which was brought
about by the heavy demands made
recently upon local dealers on account
Of the long continued rainy weather
If You were lucky enough to have
very firm foundation-say about an
IS" or a "9'-then you could be pret-
ty easily accommodated, for the deal
ers were pretty well stocked in the
large numbers. But if you called for
a &c" or a." then you were disap-
pointed, because all of these num-
bers were exhausted yesterday early
in the day.
One dealer would tell you that he
had no over-shoeS smaller than an
49,; another, none smaller than a
"7 H." while still another had no
over-shoes in stock smaller than an
"8 1-2." Then, perhaps, you would
reach a dry spot in the waste of wa
ters and find a store where your dain-
ty pedal extremities could be neatly
shod with a Number Six in a mans
shoe, otherwise you must content
yourself with this number in a ladies'
over-shoe and have every idiot along
the street yelping at you about wear
ing your wife's, sisters or daughters
over-shoes.
So great has been the demand-so
exceptionally marked, in fact-for ov-
er-shoes during the recent wet spells
that the local merchants say that they
have literally been overwhelmed with
calls for over-shoes which they could
not supply. After the recent heavy
rains in December, during which the
demand for these products was SO
heavy, the merchants naturally sup
posed that there would hardly be
another such rainy spell soon, conse-
quently their depleted stocks had not
been re-supplied when the present
bad weather began. But they have TAX
en- steps already to fill in the missing
numbers, so that in short time one
should again be able to obtain his
favOrite over-shoes.

BRYAN Receives
NAUGHT BUT Cheers
Democrats EnthuSe Over the
Peerless Leader"

Washington. January 8.-William
Jennings Bryan, holding the Nebraska
proxy. was greeted with applause
wIen he entered the meeting room OF
the democratic rational committee to-
day. Each time he moved from one
seat to another the applause was re-
newed
Although there are boomers" in
town for all of the avowed candidates
for president, Tie members of the
committee seemed reticent in discuss
ing the situation. Oddly enough there
seemed to he a concensus of opinion
that the dem9crats might we'll afford
to wait until after the republicans
have made their nomination at Chi
Caeo. 1t was argued in support of
this that if Mr.. Taft were renominat-
ed, it might be eHpedient for the dem
ocrats TO cheese an out and out
progressive. If Col. Theodore Roose-
welt We're nominated, it was thought
it might be good democratic policy to
name a man more conservative"

HARVEY WAS
HURTING The
WILSON BOOM
TOO CLOSE TO J.P. MORGAN
West Looked With Suspicion
on This Class Of Support

Washington, January 8.-An inter
esting revelation here is that Col. Har.
vey, editor of Harper's Weekly, has
been asked to withdraw his support
from Woodrow Wilson's boom, for the
reacon that it was hurting Wilson.
Another story is to the effect that
Congressman who talked with Col.
Harvey when he was here recently, re-
joiced that the break had come, be-
cause Col. Harvey has told in the
same breath of visit to Thomas F
Ryan, at his country place in Virginia,
and the bright prospects of Wilson's
nomination and election.
Friends of Mr.. Wilson say that
Col Harvey spent some days at the
Ryan farm and then came here on his
way to New York and talked very
enthusiastically of what Wilson would
do at the convention. He left the
impression that Ryan was supporting
Wilson This, coupled with the story
that J. Pierpont Morgan backs Har-
per's, was doing Mr.. Wilson more
harm than good, they said, and Mr..
Wilson objected.
This point of view, together with
some Quips in Western papers about
Harper's Weekly booming" one of the
authors whose works Harper & Bros.
are publishing, disturbed some of the
democrats who were backing Gov.
Wilson; they We're so panied that
at a conference they decided to call
Col. Harvey's attention to it,
The futility was recognized of try
ing to impress upon the public the
fact that Gov. Wilson had not selected
Col Harvey as spokesman, or that the
charge that Harvey was Wall street
agent was erroneous.
Col. Henry Watterson is. credited
with being the man who took decisive
action. He not only insisted that the
matter be brought to an issue, but
volunteered to call it to Col. Haryeys
attention.
Col Harvey listened and took sucn
action as his judgment dictated. The
last two numbers of Harper's Weekly
have contained the usual pages of edi-
tOrial discussion of the politics of the
day, but entirely without mention CT
Gov. Wilson's name. And he has not
talked elsewhere. Neither has Gov.
Wilson.

when WILSON Went
AFTER BRYAN'S SCALP
Now Letter Comes Home to
Worry the Governor.

Washington, d. c., January 8. -
Presidential politics completely over
shadow every other topic among the
members of the national committee.
The foremost theme of discussion
is the letter which was written by
Woodrow Wilson to Adrian NJ. Joline,
of New York City, in 1905, and which
was given out yesterday. In this Will
son said:
Cannot we devise some dignified
way OF getting Mr.. Bryan out of the
democratic party and getting rid of
him for all timer"
The question on every tongue IS
how this letter will affect the Wilson
boom, and whether it will turn Bryan
against Wilson
The Wilson men belittle it and say
Bryan has long known of the exist
ence Of such letter. They declare
he was not more disposed to take il
seriously Inan ne was the uItefdhCcs
of thousands of other democrats
against him at some time or other N
their careers.
Wilson boomers say they found out
the Joline letter was in the hands Of
President Taft and William r. Hearst
Learning this, they gave out the in
formation themselves, that the letter
was coming out and what it would
contain.
1t is pointed out that regardless OF
the Joline letter, Bryan will make q
great fight for presidential primaries
and that this is exactly what the viii.
son men want Nothing contained II
the Joline letter can prevent that fact

WILL PLANT FOR
Two BALES TO ACRE
Mr. RyIander Will Go After
Big Results.

On his fine farm four miles east of
Americus, Mr.. Arthur Rylander will
endeavor to demonstrate this year
what can be done in cotton cultiva-
ton, and to this end will plant one
fine field of $50 acres in cotton, ex-
pecting yield of 300 bales.
TIVE bales per acre on such large
tract will be an exceptional croD,
but Mr. Rylander is confident that he
can dc it.
Last year, on field of eighty acres
he made 120 bales, or a bale and
half per acre, and would have made
two bales easily but for the ravages
caterpillars in August This field
of cotton was one of the finest in
Sumter, attracting wide attention.
Mr. Rylanders cotton crop the past
year, under his capable superintend-
ent, Mr.. Frank Barber, ran well into
the hundreds of bales and is not yet
all gathered. there being still twenty
to thirty bales in the field. He win
plant less cotton this year, but will
give il greater cultivation.
Besides his three hundred cotton
bales he gathered 1000 bushels corn,
$3.50 bushels oats from 65 acres and
as a second crop gathered sixty tons
fine peavine hay from the same oat
field. Besides these crops he raised
abundant crops of sugar cane, pota-
toes, peas and smaller crops.
This farm is a model one in every
respect and one of the handsomest
and best places in all Southern Geor-
gia.
