Mr. Dean left Elberton early In May
for oklahoma City to represent the
rlberton church and the Georgia Bap-
tist convention at the Southern Baptist
convention recently held in that city
He was accompanied as far as Gun

frst riage-Samuel, aged twelve

six. At Gufport he left the children
with their grandmother-the mother OF
his first wife. VINO died about three
Years ago. The second Mrs. Dean went
10 Knoxville. Tenn, 10 visit relatives
during her husbands trip West, AT
Gulfport Mr. Dean wrote to her that ne
was sick from a nervous attack and
was under the care of his brother-in
law, a physician of Gulfport.
After recovering sufficiently to con
tinue his journey MI Dean went on to
oklahoma city, where he attended the
convention sessions. He wrote to Mrs
Dean from the S1rvin hotel in that
citv. but that letter was perfectly
normal one and in it there was no ref
erence to q return of the nervous at
tack that he had experienced in Gulf
port
The next heard from Mr. Dean was
the letters written a Kansas City on
Nav 27. in which he said he would not
return for several months. In the one
to his wife he said he was in terribly
nervous state and that he would posi-
bIv GO to the coast. Immediately upon
receipt of this letter Mrs. Dean re-
turned to Elberton and consulted mem
hers of her husbands church as to
what should be done. The deacons then
Instituted the search that is now go
ing on.
Mr.. Dean is described as being IS
years OF age. weighs about 200 pounds;
! feet 9 inches tall; fair complexion,
bald and clean shaver.
Mr.. Dean came to Elberton in Janu-
airy of this wear from the Gainesville
BAPTIST church. where he served as pas
Tor for four years. Before going &c
Gainesville he served about four years
each with churches at Philadelphia
pa and Newark, n. j. His first pas
torate was at Americas. Ga. where h.
remained about four years He was
horn in Atlanta and has a sister Mrs
Austin living in that city.
MIR. Dean was very studious and a
magnetic pulpit orator. It is believed
here that close study and hard work as
pastar brought on an attack Of ner-
vous DrostratOn and led tu his disap-
na4lance. H. was sick when I've left
Flberton. hut IL was not thougni hat
his condition was serious enough te

W0RKMEN'S PROTECTION.
Need of a Just System of comPenss'
ton For Injuries.

Need OF a JUST SJShSH' ~
ton For Injuries.
The enactment of workmen's com
pmsation law by congress for apPilca-
ton to railroads engaged in interstate
commerce will if properly accomplish
ed mark the supplying of real ana
great need and the abatement OF
serious evil How great the need Is
NAV be estimated from the fact thal
last wear no fewer than 100000 men
were injured while working on rail-
roads. Many of the injuries were
doubtless very slight and many others
were chiefly or entirely the fault OF the
victims. Eliminating these from con
sideration, however there remained.
and there remain each year, many
thousands of cases of serious injury I'D
which the men are justly entitled to
compensation on the principle that the
industry should bear its own risks.
Compensation is, Of course, made in
many cases partly through voluntary
mutual agreement and partly under va
rious state laws In the last two years
more than 5000 fatal injuries were
voluntarily settled for by payment OF
nearly S3,JO0,000 to survivors. In 10
other cases 1851 ,S73 was paid on court
| judgments-at much higher rate per
capita than in the voluntary settle
ments. In other cases, of total dis
ability. permanent partial disability and
temporary disability, the same rule pre-
vailed The vast majority were set
| tied voluntarily at a much lower aver.
age rate than the few which were
settled through legal proceedings. Tn"
| total sum paid by the railroads in the
period named was $9,36S, 3S4.
The magnitude of these figures sug
| gests the urgent need of the most sys-
| tematic and equitable method of deal
| ing with all such cases for the sake of
! both parties concerned. This need is
| emphasized by the circumstance that
| in the cases which are settled by court
| judgments the sufferer usually gets
only about one half the award. the
other half going to the lawyers. OBJ
| viously that is unsatisfactory, except
ing to the lawyers. The payments in
| judgments average about twice as
great as in voluntary settlements
! That is hardship to the railroads,
| but it is no advantage to the men in
| jured, for they get no more than the
average in voluntary settlements. 1t
does an injured man no good to have
big sum go to a lawyer 1t would be
| lust as well for him to get the whole
of payment of $4,000 by the com
pany as to get only half of an award
of $4,000 and it would be great deal
better for the company.
What is needed is system under
which men will receive equitable in
IDENTITIES for injuries for which they
themselves are not responsible and
the companies will be relieved from
the annoyance and expense of black
mailing suits instigated by speculative
lawyers of the ambulance chaser
type and under which also the whole
indemnity will go TO the sufferer or
survivors. The ideal has been describ
ed of q system under which indemni
ties of prescribed amounts will be
paid without dispute, somewhat as fire
and life insurance guarantees are nov
! palu. Perhaps that cannot be fully
realized, but approximation to it may
well be the aim.-New York Tribune.
