Charles F. Pope was born in
Cobb county, Ga, Aug. l6, 1916,
and died Feb. IS, 1912, aged IS
years. He is survived by his wife
and seven girls, all of whom are
married. For many years he was a
worthy citizen of the vicinity in
which he was born. He was kind
and agreeable to every one, making
friends wherever he went. He
was strictly devoted to high prin-
ciples, and was known far and near
by his truthfulness and honesty of
purpose. two of the grandest quail
tiles of mankind. When a difficulty
arose he used every effort in his
power to maintain peace, always
keeping in mind the golden rule:
DO unto others as you would have
them do to you" He never re-
garded religion as mere form, but
felt that true Christianity was from
the heart. He was a member of
the |. 0. O. F., of which he was
justly proud, but being old when he
| joined, he never adopted any fancy
for the forms younger ones carry
out and enjoyed, although he loved
and highly esteemed all of the
brothers in order and practised out
side the lodge those beautiful,
moral precepts and virtues taught
in it. He was a kind husband, a
loving father and a most patient
sufferer, showing loving gratitude
to the very last. Farewell loved
one for awhile. We hope to meet
again in the happy beyond.

sum could purchase them

Council Discusses
Paving Ordinance

City council, as committee of the
whole, met in the mayors office at
the city hall yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of discussing the new
paving ordinance, which will come up
for final action at the meeting OF
council to be held Monday night.
A majority of the members of coun-
Gil were at the meeting yesterday AND
the ordinance was discussed at some
length, but no definite agreement was
reached. 1t appears that some of
the aldermen are in favor of the or
dinance in it's present form, while
others believe. that Gloucester street
should be paved from Bay to Union
and that Oglethorpe and Grant streets
should be eliminated, those taking this
view claiming that these streets do
not need to be paved just at this
time.
Just what will be done at the meet
ing tomorrow night is not known, but
it is expected that some definite ac-
ton will be taken.

SCANOINAVIANS
ARE MASSACRED
IN CHINESE CITY
sToRY OF KILLING OF SEVEN
4 MISSIONARIES GRAPHICALLY
ToEo HV REV, NELSON.
Rlchard 5eckman Saw Wife and
R =. 't.r.
Daughter Killed by 5rIsands, and
Then Got Away With Baby by Wad-
ing Lake.

San Francisco, March bringing
the first word of the massacre of
Eelght persons connected with the
Christian missions by fanaticaI out
laws last October, twenty four mission
workers arrived yesterday on the liner
The victims of the slaughter were
George Alstrand, 13 years old; Mrs.
H. ,3eckman, Ruth Beckman, years
old; Hulda Bergslone, 13; Oscar Berg
stone, 10; Hilda Nelson, 16; George
Vantine, teacher at a mission school
at Sian Flu.
The story OF the massacre was told
by Rev. Philip Nelson, father of Hill
da Nelson, of the Scandinavian mis-
sion at Pinchow, who, with his wife
and FIVE children, were passengers on
the China.
Mr.. Nelson told of the remarkable
escape of Richard Beckman, who, af-
| ter seeing his wife and daughter kill
ed, waded into lake with his three
year old daughter, and in the dark
ness escaped.
| Forty Persons for Mission.
There were about forty persons
associated with the Scandinavian mis-
sion stationed at Pinchow at the time
of the massacre" said Mr.. Nelson.
! I'VE had heard nothing by rumors
Eantil October 81, when news of the
revolution reached Sian Flu, and the
maraNders responsible for the massa-
ere started on their career of murder
and pillage.
THE mission was one of the first
places looted The Chinese servants
were killed The house was barrlcaded
and the bandits went on their way
after firing the outer walls.
The women and children then hid
in the outbuildings with Beckman,
while his little daughter sought refuge
in The shrubbery The Chinese To-
Gated and killed all those hidden in
the cutbuildings. Beckman helped his
daughter, Selma, and Vantne over the
wall, but they were soon caught.
Hunted in the Bushes.
From a conversation he overheard,
( Beckman learned that he and his baby
daughter were the only ones left alive
and beaters began to work through
the bushes in search of them.
ITO escape then, he waded into a
shallow pond. He remained in the
pond until daylight. Realizing that
his only hope lay in that direction,
Beckman worked his way there ana
managed to place the baby on the TOP
of the bank. Before he could climb
! the side, his little one began to cry,
and he had to take her down to quiet
her. Then he placed her on the bank
and again was frustrated The third
time he was successful, and made his
way to a mission in another part OF
the CITY,.
THE bodies of the slaughtered chill
dren and teachers, horribly mutilated,
lay where they had fallen for three
days. when they were hastily buried
by a company of soldiers. Later, they
were inferred with full military hon
ors."
The missionaries were shut in at
Sian Flu for six weeks before It was
considered safe for them to travel.
They then made their way to the
coast, giving a full report of the mas
sacre to the American consul at Han
kow, who was to take up the matter
with the Pekin authorities. Beck
man with his daughter were left at
Shanghai when the party sailed on the
China.

COL. ROOSEVELT
IS ACCUSED Of
TAKING PANAMA
Ex- PRESIDENT is SEVERELY cRl-
TIcIsED BY SENATOR HITCH.
COCK BEFORE US. SENATE.
Colombia Should Be Paid for Loss OF
Territory Which She Was Unable
to Defend Against Great Neishbor,
Weak Republic Was Robbed.

Washington, March 1.-The conspi-
Tacy which resulted in the dismember-
ment of the Colombian cabinet and
spoilation Of Colombian interests in
the Panama Canal Zone, declared Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, today,
will lead to hard feelings in the canal
zone.
Senator Hitchcock stated that the
people would know "how to act'' in
Colombia
The senator assailed the Washing
ton governments course and referred
to what he said was blunt declara-
ton Of ex-President Roosevelt in a
speech recently delivered in Califor-
MIA, that he took the canal zone"
1T is not proper" he said, ito lock
up IN official archives the disgraceful
record of our treatment of Colombia,
our breach of solemn treaty, our insti-
tuition of an insurrection, our spoil
alton of a weak sister repuOIc.
1t was too late to restore Panama
to Colombia, he declared, because the
United States's title to the Panama
canal, and through the influence of the
United States the independence of
Panama was settled for all time. He
declared that justice would not be
done Colombia
The American people know" con-
tinued Senator Hitchcock, that Roos-
evelt cut short all negotiations with
Colombia for possession of the canal
strip, and at the psychological mo-
ment ordered the gunboat Nashville,
of our American navy, to Colon, ar
irving there on November 2. On No
vember 2 a Colombian gUnboat ar
rived with troops for garrison duty at
Panama, and at that time our Ameri-
can officers had reported everything
quiet On the isthmus and in Colon
bia.
High officials in Washington were
frantic for news as to the revolution,
and the next day while representa-
tives of the navy were restraining the
troops which Colombia had sent to
preserve order and to down any in
surrection of that ridiculous comic
opera revolution, a few miles away.
American People Know.
1.-The American people know that if
the 500 troops Of Colombia had been
permitted to reach the town of Pan
anna. there would have been no revo-
ton. This was done, notwithstand-
ing slomen treaty OF peace and
friendship existed between the Uni
ted States and Colombia.
The pretense for all this was that
Colombia had refused - accept the
United States terms as to the Panama
Canal. We were proposing to buy
from the Panama Canal company, rep
resented by Cromwell and other New
York fnanciers, their rights to the
canal Whatever rights they had came
from Colombia Our representatives
drew up treaty under which the
United States was to pay the COM
pany and secure rights in the strip
needed to perfect its title. Either gov
ernment had right to reject the
treaty. 1t was naturally ratified by
the United States, but Colombia i'm
ally rejected it because it had no
power to surrender sovereignty over
the strip without some amendment to
the constitution.
Senator Hitchcock referred to the
pending arbitration treaty as similar
tn hat with Great Britain.
