100000 IS ALLOWED FOR

for this lock, the senate amended b.
doubling tho amount. and the con
feres split the difference, agreeing ON
$500 600.
There is unique explanation for
the action of the house in allowing but
100000 instead of the 100000 asked
by lake marine men.

was immaterial so long as there was
some amount. Regardless Of the size
of this amount it would establish the

WHO DROWNED At PIEDMONT
Americas Lad Made Heroic
Effort

There was an Americas end to
the drowning that occurred SATURDAY
afternoon at Piedmont Lake, near At

youth of eleven years, was drowned.
The boy was in a small canoe with
Leonard Sawyer of Americas, son o.!
Mr.. Fred L. Sawyer, now residing in
Atlanta. Young Sawyer had built the
canoe himself and, with boyish pride
was giving it a tryout in the lake with
his little friends, Charles Campbell.
The frail craft dipped, and bota
boys were thrown overheard. Young
Sawyer could swim and made heroic
efforts to save his friends, who could
not swim. Young Campbell SANK
twice with Leonard Sawyer holding
TO him, the two going down together.
Realizing that he could not effect
rescue, young Sawyer let go the
drowning lad and saved himself with
difficulty, as he was we'll nigh ex-
tausted. The body of the Campbell
lad was rushed to the Grady hospital
but all efforts at resuscitation were in
vain.

CAMPAIGN
COMMENT
BY BRYAN
ON TAFT and ROOSEVELT
He Champions a Progressive
Candidate

Lincoln, Neb., June although TAFT
APPARENTLY has a majority of the Chi
Cago delegates Roosevelt intends to be
d candidate before the people, and If
necessary will organize a boiling con-
vention," William ]. Bryan declares in
his Commoner today. Bryan says:
I'VE have now approached near
enough to the Republican National
Convention to forecast the action of
that body, Roosevelt will have ap-
oarently majority in the Northern
states, while Taft seems likely to have
q majority of the convention-includ-
ing the Southern delegates, who rep
esent merely patronage and Doodle.
Roosevelt has been careful to arrange
COR contesting delegates from the
South-this was the first indication OF
his intention to bolt. With a majority
of the Northern delegates, he is in a
position to have a convention of his
own, in case his contesting delegates
are refused admission.
"The conclusion, therefore, is thai
Roosevelt would be the nominee o.
the regular convention or the nominee
of boiling convention. Get ready fol
| his candidacy. He is quite sure tc
run.
Can Roosevelt be defeated? Yes
by any good progressive. A progress
sive will hold the Democratic vott
and the Republicans who oppose
third term will do the rest. Clark anC
Wilson are the leading progressiv,
andidates-either one of them can de
| feat Roosevelt. The country will new
er have President for a third term.
