paper had offered 125 boys a free

night of Feb. 2Sth for Atlanta, ar

was met at the station by friend,
Mr. G. L. Mcneil, whose cheerful
countenance and genial disposition
many are familiar with, he having
at one time been resident of Daw-

Sunday morning we met in a body
at the Journal headquarters and
marched to the city hall, where we
posed for photographs of our jolly
party. From there we marched to
the Terminal station, where the spe-
cial Pullman train stood waiting for
it's passengers. We left Atlanta on
the morning of Sunday, March End,

direct to the Ardmore Hotel, where
rooms had been previously secured
for the Journals party.
After refreshing ourselves with
water and partaking of a much en-

Unique Railroad Accident Results to
Lad Who Fell Under Wheels.

Westburg, Long Island William
Fitting, 1S-year-old boy, lost his
legs for a second time yesterday. The
first time was four years ago, when
he fell under a Long Island railway
train near the station at Glenhead.
On artificial limbs he was standing at
the station here yesterday when he
saw a woman crossing the tracks in
front OF an express train. Recalling
the accident which had befallen him
he shouted a warning to the woman,
but she did not heed. and young Fit
ting stumped his way to the tracks
and dragged her from danger, only
to fall himself across the rails.
Other persons on the platform saw
the lad and rushed to him, expecting
TO find him fatally hurt He was
picked up legless, but not in the
least wounded. The locomotive
wheels had only broken off his wood
en- legs.

FARMERS AND SHERMAN LAW
SAYS WILL FIGHT
TO HAVE THEM EXEMPTED.
Intimated President Wilson Does Not
Favor the Exemption of Farm
and Labor Organizations.

Intimated President Wilson Does Not
Favor the Exemption of Farm
and Labor Organizations.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that
President Wilson does not favor ex-
empting labor organizations and as
sociations of farmers from the opera
ton of the Sherman antitrust law
have been given out during the past
few days.
These features. OF the sundry civil
bill caused President Taft to veto
that measure in the closing days of
the last session.
The exemption was in the shape OF
an amendment to the bill providing
that no part of the 100000 appro
priated for the purpose of enforcing
the Sherman antitrust laws should
be used in the prosecution of organi-
cations of farmers or laborers. Pres
ident Taft in his veto message said
this was vicious class legislation.
Representative Roddenbery of
Georgia offered the amendment to eX-
emit associations of farmers, and
ItCpI JINC IldIIlIlI VI ANCW J'SL-
sey offered the amendment to exempt
labor organizations. Both were
adopted and the house passed the
bill over the veto, but the senate fail
ed to do so.
1t has been held by the supreme
court that the antitrust law did ap-
ply to such associations, and the
might riders in the Kentucky tobac-
co fields were prosecuted under it,
and also number of labor unions.
To Fight For Farmers.
Mr.. Roddenbery said that he had
received no authoritative word of
President Wilson's attitude, and will
urge the same limitation on the ap-
preparation for enforcing the anti
trust law when the sundry civil bill
comes up at the extra session.

that he was not loyal in his support
of Senator A. o. Bacon for the office

Senator Hoke Smith declared to the
senate democratic caucus today that
he was innocent of any plot TO &C
eomplish his colleagues demotion.
Senator Smith read aloud Senator
TilIman's interview recently publish
ed in the Atlanta Constitution and
called upon the senator to state if he
had ever minated a determination
to oppose Senator Bacon.
Democratic senators present at the
caucus agreed that Senator Smith
had never intimated that he expected
to turn Bacon down Senator O'Gor-
nan said that ten minutes before he
placed Senator Clarke's name in
nomination he had determined not
to do so.
With this explanation Senator Till
man apologized to senators for the

drew what he had said with refer
ence to Senator Smith.
Tillman Quit Fighting.
Despite the efforts of Senator Ba-
con in the caucus Senator Tillman
was denied the Craftsmanship of the
appropriations committee and was
given naval affairs instead. Mr.. Ba- |
co nmade an earnest speech to the |
caucus, but the motion that Senator
Tillman's name replace that of Sena- |
tor Martin of Virginia received only |
four votes.
All the fight seemed to have gone
out of the Palmetto warrior, who in
his earlier days before he suffered |
the stroke that nearly ended his life,
won the soubriquet of "Pitchfork

He asked for the appropriations
Craftsmanship and said that he de-
served it on the ground of seniority.
But the remuneration that he had
promised to speak did not come to his
lips. Instead he read a statement
regretting that he had criticised his
in a published interview.
