partly relieved by inconsistencies,

w. F. Harvard, and several grandchil-

WASHINGTON, Nov. z9.--That an effort

executive order of October Is whereby
about $4,000 fourth class postmasters
were placed under the civil service be-
came known today when Representative
Cordell Hull, of Tennessee, said the Dem

Washington have conferred informally on
the subject, and that there was an over

being revoked.
Representative Hull declared that
President elect Wilson, under the civil
service law. would have the power to re-
woke President Taft's order
Coming at the time and under the
circumstances that it did" said Mr. Hull
this order of the president is patiently
stepped in the deepest political dye and
constitutes within itself a gross viola

whole purpose OF the civil service law,
because it places this immense horde OF

Unerring Nose of
Caddie Saves Golfer.

Almost tragedy resulted from the
terday afternoon. and for a time the
clubmen who had taken refuge in the
Scotch room We're busy organizing relief
parties. Hugh Adams, one of the most
intrepid golfers Of the club, had been
lost in the snowstorm far out on the
links, and for hours his safety was in
doubt Only the indomitable courage
and unerring nose Of his two-foot cad
die brought him safely home to the
clubhouse
Mr.. Adams had won his way, stroke
by stroke, into the farthest north of
the links. The day was cold and chill,
one of those gray days which make the
nineteenth hole a goal worth lighting
for. Then a skurry of wind came up,
the white flakes began to fall and
Adams and his faithful guide were
wrapped in an impenetrable veil of
white
For hours they wandered. struggling
on through the drifts which soon grew
ankle deep and penetrated even the
heavy green stockings of the explorer.
The clubhouse had vanished from view.
Mr.. Adams had forgotten his compass
and was drifting before the wind. Soon
he came on tracks in the snow and fol-
lowed these. After an hours struggle
onward he came across more tracks.
Horros. He had been following his
own trail. He was going around in the
circle which means death.
Then spake the faithful caddie boy;
said he;
IF youn follow me, boss, l kin take
you in"
Mr.. Adams surrendered and followed
the boy When they reached the club
house and showers of thanks ana small
change had been bestowed on the cad
die, the anxious watchers asked:
How did you find your way home,
boy?"

two years ago in congress by Samuel j.
Tribble.
Mr. Howard would make a most ex-
cellent secretary Of the interior, or
would fit equally as well into the at
torney generalship.
Although extremely modest and in
clined, in a way, to hide his light under
a bushel-certainly, he never has
sought notoriety-Mr. Howard is
known in Washington as one of the
very ablest men that ever sat in con-
gress from the South. Indeed, it is a
fact that John Sharp Williams, now a
senator from Mississippi, frequently
said, when leader of the Democratic
minority in the house, that there were
more brains in Bill Towards head"
than there were in anybody else's head
on the Democratic side, The Missis-
sippian was an open, frank and enthu-
siastic admirer Of Mr.. Towards I'M
questioned craftsmanship.
If Howard, of Georgia, should be
made secretary Of the interior, he
would make a secretary pretty much
after the fashion OF Hoke Smith. And
there is not public official in Wash
ington today who, was there when
Hoke Smith was secretary of the in
terror, who will not tell you that the
present junior senator from Georgia
was one of the most thorough and etti-
cient secretaries the interior depart
ment ever had.
If Mr.. Wilson is looking for a bust

of the interior, he can find him in Will

take about that. He is full size for the
job.

.BROTHERLY LOVE
SENATOR IS DEAD
James Gordon, of Mississippi,
Who Won Fame in Single
Speech, Expires.

OKOLONA, MISS, Nov. Eek,
United States Senator James Gordon
the Gentleman from Mississippi" died
here yesterday. Senator Gordon
gained national fame during q brief
term in the senate chiefly through a
"brotherly love" speech
He was in straitened circumstances
and was recently appointed game war
den for his county.
James Gordon sat In the senate OF
the United States from the beginning
of the short term of the 61st congress,
in December. 1909, until February "A,
1910, when his successor, Leroy Percy,
took the oath for the uneXpired term of
Senator McLaurin, to which Gordon
had been appointed, during legislative
recess, by the governor of Mississippi
Senator Gordon achieved instant popu-
larity in the senate by reason of his
kindly disposition, and his evident de-
sire to heal all sectional wounds that
might have been left by the war. He
was a Confederate veteran, thoroughly
reconstructed.
His first and last speech in the SEN
ate was delivered after he had ceased
as a matter of fact. to be a member OF
that body, and it won nation wide APP
plause for It's note of brotherly love and
appeal for peace between the North and
the South.
Senator Percy was elected to the sem
ate on February %, and instantly, un-
l.,
member. His great speech, however
was delivered on February "a. Senator
Depew. of New York, replied to it. and
pronounced it one of the most wonder
full speeches he ever had heard.

absolutely the sale of pistols in Floyd
county.
1t was pointed out by the grand jury
that crime is on the increase in the
county, that the prohibition law is vio-
lated constantly and fiagrantly and that
many citizens tote pistols with, i'm
punity and in no fear OF the law or the
authorities.
The grand jury says it found many
instances OF violation OF the prohibition
law that should have been returned fof
prosecution, but that IL frequently was
utterly impossible to bring true bill
legally, because Of the reluctance of
many witnesses to testify to facts the
grand jury felt morally sure existed.
The grand jury's returns have set
many Floyd county people to thinking,
for the superior court of Floyd has been
very vigorous in its prosecutions Of
prohibition law violators of late.
In all probability, another law Will
be introduced in the next Legislatures
along the line of the late Tippins bill
but not by Mr.. Tippins. as he isn't
| coming back-and in all further prob
ability, 1t will not pass.
Indeed, 1t is doubtful whether it will
be possible to effect any additional pro-
hibition legislation in Georgia for some
| time to come, as the average legislator
who will discuss the matter at all Is
frankly opposed to opening the ques-
| ton again for any purpose whatever.
There Is one member of the forth
coming house, however, who already has
announced his intention OF offering
bill modelled after the Tippins measure.
and he will make a vigorous hght to
pass it.
A new residence suburb has been
opened in the pretty little city OF Hart
WELL in Hart county, and the widest.
