Criticism of Hoke Smith Deprives
South Carolina Senator of
Appropriations Leadership.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Another
chapter in the Bacon Smith controver-
sy was added to-day when it was
learned from inside sources that Sen
ator Tillman's defeat for the chair
manship of the senate appropriations
committee was largely due to the in
terview in which he criticised Senator
Hoke Smith for the latter's alleged
knitting of Senator Bacon in his race
to be president pro TEN.
The steering committee. it is report
ed, stood to in favor of Tillman
until the interview appeared in which
the South Carolinan attacked Senator
Smith, member of the committee.
Senator Smith brought the matter 20
the attention of the steering commit
tee and there was a change of scenti-
ment regarding Tillman's race for the
Craftsmanship of appropriations. SEN
ator Tillman has since apologized 10
Senator Smith and the incident is
closed. To-day it is declared that the

LETFORD RESIDENT
HOLDS SEVEN POSTS
ON FAMILY RAILWAY

Georgia is the habitat Of a person
age who has something on the versa
tile tar who was everything from the
bosun's mate to the crew of the cap
tain's gig.
He is G. T. Tulen, Of Letford
These are the offices that Mr. Tulen
holds with the Savannah and Southern
railway, a little line that runs the 10
miles between Norden and Willie, ac-
cording to a time table filed with the
state railroad commission to-day:
Vice president. secretary, general
freight agent, general passenger agent,
auditor, car accountant, general claim
agent
Mr. c. r. Tulen overlooked the pres
idency and treasurership. but w. G.
Tulen holds these, so they remain in
the family.
When the railroad was started. the
vice president, secretary, etc, wrote to
the railroad commission asking to be
put in class d, in which the passenger
rate that may be charged is three cents
a mile. Now Mr.. Tulen finds that he
could as well have been placed in class
f, where he could charge four cents.
Hence his letter asking for the change
of classification.

PARDON SOUGHT FOR
ALIFE-TERM CONVICT
AS BRAVERY REWARD

Because of his bravery in setting out
single handed after two escaped con-
victs from the Newton county convict
camp. Henry Smith. a negro lifer, SEN
fenced for the murder Of Bill Willis by
the Newton superior court in 1904. was
recommended to Governor Brown to-
day for executive clemency by the pris-
on commission.
Smith. with two of the camp dogs,
succeeded in capturing one of the two
escapes. both of whom We're white men,
and Warden Farmer caught the other a
few hours later. The warden says that
Smith has been a model prisoner since
his Incarceration.
The commission in it's application to
the governor, which is signed by the
chairman, r. e. Dawson, asks that the
sentence be committed to the present
term Of service on the additional ground
that Smiths defense that he killed Will
lis in defense appears to be true.

said:
There are no frilIs on his sermons,
but just good Christian doctrines that
are waking up the people"
There was a special children's and
mothers meeting this afternoon. which
was largely attended. There will be
services every day at II o'clock in the
morning and 1880 o'clock in the even

Court of Appeals Reverses Deci-

Joyriders will hail with acclaim the
ruling of the court of appeals, which
refuses to make liable for damages in
CURED during an automobile ride per-
sons who may have accepted an inVi-
tation to participate in the trip, but
who are in no way concerned with the
running of the machine.
The point arose from the appeal from
the decision of the city court of Car
rollton of Shirley Boykin, who was the
guest of Charles Adamson, son of Con-
gresham Adamson, and Dave Horton
on a trip from CarHollton to Borden
Springs. In the course of the trip, the
young motorists had the misfortune to
run down and kill mule.
The owner sued. BoylSin was
held liable by the city court, along
with Adamson and the chauffeur and
was refused a new trial: but this stand
was reversed by the court of appeals,
which said that Boykin should have
been given a new trial, as he was mere
ly a guest and, according to the testi-
mony, made himself in no way respon-
sible for the running of the car.

Seek Porters' Jobs
In Federal Building

To-day was "Porter's Day at the
office of Frank Dougman, of the civil
service board, in the Federal building.
Thirty Afro Americans, all kinds and
conditions. appeared for examination
for the position of porter in the big,
new government structure. Each ap-
plicant had to "heft" a 125-pound sack
of paper. sweep a bit to show he knew
how. dust off chairs and generally do
stunts catalogued as duties of por-
ter"
, Peculiar to note, was the sworn al
legiance to the Wilson administration.
Like a school boy, each applicant, when
asked his political faith. parrotted:
Use a Wilson man-born Democrat"
The popularity of the song was the
fact just four years ago on 'Porters
Day" it seemed that a person named
Taft was the negros best friend.
Seems strange" said Commissioner
Doughman. These fellows are not
given jobs for their political faith, but
YOU can't make 'em understand that.
They believe in their faith first and

The delay in calling for the resigna-

it is the intention of Attorney General
McReynolds to retain in office until
January l or later the various district
attorneys now serving.
Before asking for the resignation Of
these officials who have served under
previous administrations. the new at
torney general wants to get his bear
ings and he also hesitates to bring
about a shakeup at this time, in view
of the important suits which are pend
ing in a number of court Jurisdictions.
When Mr.. Alderman was in Wash
ington, it is learned. he preached the
subject of his resignation to the at
torney general and was told to with
hold it. 1t is now practically certain
that Mr.. Alderman will hold on for the
remainder of the year, and there will be
