Convention to Oppose President

Cleveland, o, May II. - Refreshed
by comparatively quiet day here.
and prepared to keep up the fyhr
against the nomina. on of Colonel
Roosevelt until the end, President
Taft left Cleveland early today to
take Up again his sp 9ech- makins tour
OF the state. Though Mr.. Taft declined
to discuss reports published here that
he might abandon the fight, for a re-
nomination if he should lose in the
Ohio primaries, men close to him
place no credence in such report.
They point to the fact that nun
dreds of delegates to the convention
are Instructed and pledged for Mr..
Taft, and that the Taft workers in
the country have put up their best
hight for him. They figure also on
the bitter resentment the president
has shown toward Colonel Roosevelt,
and few of them would concade that
he would ever withdraw in favor of
his predecessor.
Talk of Mr.. Tafts retirement from
the race for dark horse in case he
loses Ohio, is also discredited by his
friends. They say the president will

SOUTH GEORGIA DELEGATES
WILL VOTE AGAINST THE
FORMER PoPULlST.
It is Not Believed that He Will Get
Half Dozen Votes in Atlanta Con-
Vention From This Section of the
State.

If Tom Watson is elected delegate
to the national democratic conven-
tion in Atlanta next week it will not
be by the votes of the delegates from
South Georgia.
Practically this entire section of the
state is opposed to him, and reports
are to the effect that not a single
delegation from a county in the 1lth
district will support him, while it is
generally understood from other sec
tions of south Georgia that delegates
who have been selected to the state
will not support the former. populist
leader.
The fight that Watson is to make
for place on the democratic dele
cation is attracting considerable at
tention over the state, but those who
are on the inside and who were
strong supporters of Underwood, are
quick to state that there will be nc
room on the delegation for Watson
Only one newspaper in the state has
receive any support. The Atlanta
Constitution several days ago came
out with the announcement that il
Watson desired to attend the conyen-
ton that he would no doubt be elect
ed, but little attention has beer
paid to this assertion by the Atlanta
paper

at large are some of the bes
known democrats in the state and il
is not believed that they will be

SAILOR STICKS
TO SAME STORY
FIREMAN HENDRIcKsoN SAYS
DU=F-ooRDoNs WERE cow
ARDS DURING SHIPWREck.

London, May 17.-Declarations that
Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff-Gordon, who
were two of the five passengers in a
partly filled lifeboat, had protested
against returning to the scene of the
Titanic wreck to attempt the rescue
of unfortunate passengers struggling
in The water, were reviewed today
by the British inquiry board.
An audience of fashionaly dressed
women heard the proceedings and
the Gordons, with their legal advisers,
paid close attention to the testi-
mony.
Charles Hendrickson, the fireman
who told of the Gordons' alleged con-
duct, was on the stand for cross-ex-
animation, and Sir Cosmos counsel
took him in hand.
Handrickson stuck to his evidence,
and, although he could not specify
when he first made the statement
discrediting the -Gordons, Sir
Rufus Isaacs, the attorney general
! was able to prompt him from deposf-
tions taken at the time of the arrI-
val Of the crew in England, in which
the witness had said passengers
protested" against the boat going
| back.
Gordons to Deny Story.
Mr.. Dukes examination indicated
the case for the Duff -Gordons would
be an absolute denial of the story,
and that they would support this with
the evidence of the other members
of the crew who were in the life
boat.
Counsl for Sir Cosmo suggested
that Lady Duff-Gordon refused to go
into the boat without her husband,
and after the boat was lowered she
was so seasick she was unable to
protest.
Hendrickson admitted she was i'll,
but said she was able to converse
with her husband.
Sir Cosmos lawyer suggested that
Hendrickson was the first to hint at
a reward for the crew of the boat,
and produced document in Hend-
rickson's handwriting giving names
of the crew, which he had handed
! to Duff Gordon, to enable him to
make out checks of the value of $25
for each man.

Superintendent of Education Britain
Gives Out Interesting Figures.
Atlanta, May 16.-That illiteracy
in Georgia, is on the decline, is the
statement of Superintendent of Edu-
cation M l.. Britain. In 1860 Su-
perintendent Britain points out
white illiteracy in Georgia was IL
per cent while now it is only Z per
cent. In the year following the war
when education was at low ebb, it
crep up to 25 per cent, but since
then it has been reduced steadily. In
1900 it was II per cent.
Illiteracy among negroes mas de-
clined from 92 per cent in 1860, Su-
perintendent Britain states, to 35
per cent in 1910. In 1900 illiteracy
amoag negroes was 50 per cent. 1t
is steadily ON the decline among
both races, Superintendent Britain
states, and education is now more
sought after than ever in this state.
1t is probable that not one man in a
million would remotely entertain
such a proposition
When We come to analyze the sit
uation We find that there is nothing
more Objectionable in the proposed
amendment than there is already in
the federal constitution and which
has been there all this while.
But the people of the United States
are OF bound to ratify this proposed
amendment. They are given an op-
portunity to do SO; that's all. If
they don't want it all they have to
do is to refuse to ratify it.
The burden now rests upon the peo-
pie, and not upon the members of
congress who have voted to give them
chance to say whether thy want 1t

interesting match game will be played
between the clubs of this city and

announcing that the Savannah team
would be pleased to come over next

An interesting feature of the game
will be a match between Claiming

vie, the local professional. They are
both among the best golf players in
the South and match between them
would be unusually interesting.

Cincinnati, May 1.-THE corpses of
two little boys discovered in the
great feed box Of horse stable here

Robert and Urban Nichols, the tots
who disappeared from their home on
April 29. The boys father found their
corpses. He had dipped shovel in

tact with resisting mass he poked
down further until he came upon lit
tie foot Startled, the elder Nichols
tugged at the foot till the body of
a small boy was yielded.
Sure that he had found one of the
missing sons, Nichols worked until
he found the corpse of the other.
When the tots disappeared on April
29 it was feared they had been kid
