HEAVIEST SNOW IN YEARS
SAY VETERANS WHO KNOW

'"I can recall but few snowfalls since
the founding of Americas that equals
this cne," said Col. Henry Lanier, as
he looked out yesterday upon the
feathery flakes. 81 think it was in
1855 that we had a fall of six inches
with lighter snowfalls since that time
Homer Daniel recalled readily taa
snowfall Of 1850, which while severe,
aid not equal the depth attained yes
terday.
Il was out hunting wild turkeys dur
il & that big storm of 1860 said Prof
l.. D. Lockhart, refectively. AN OK
cart ran into drove of wild turkeys,
which were too nearly frozen to fly,
and killed the largest gobbler, which ]
secured" continued this able MIN
rcd.
Il never hunted turkeys either with
q gun or an automobile" said Court
Clerk Bud" Allen, as Prof LockhaIt
concluded his story, "but'N Va January,
1874. while out hunting, fell into a
snowbank so deep that l saved my life
cny bv climbing the ramrod."
Ed Gyles verified Mr.. Aliens state
ment, as he was in the same hunting
party.
Boys, you don't know what snow
storm is, said 81 Hawkins, starting d
story. But the boys knew what s.
was, and made a mad dash for the

FOR SEAT IN ELECTION
Friends of Vereen, Of MOultrie, Dis
appointed That Their Man Did Not
Get the Coveted Plum
Especial to Times-Recorder)


Atlanta, Ga, Feb 25.-Col w. s.
West, of Valdosta, one of the foremost
and best known south Georgians, viii
nil the vacancy in the United States
senate created by the death recently
OF Senator A. O. Bacon The appoint
ment was made late this afternoon by
Governor John M. Slaton and was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by the
large delegation OF south Georgians
who have worked increasingly for tn
appointment of Col. West.
The West appointment came as a
surprise to the friends of Col. w Z
vereen, who have been very active in
his behalf In fact, the Vereen forces
had considered his appointment fore.
gone conclusion.
Last night a tip was given to the eli
feet that the appointment would be Civ
en- to a south Georgian and with We
roen and West the foremost aspirants
in the race it was an even bet which
would land the coveted prize.
Not until late in the afternoon was
the momentous matter decided in the
announcement of Gov. Slaton's choice
The governor put in all the morning
reading letters and kilograms of in
dorsement and listening to the pleas of
politicians who besieged his office. He
did not say in so many words that he
would make the appointment during
the day, nor did he indicate that he
had made decision, but most of thos
who talked with him gathered such i'm
pressions this morning.
1t is generally believed that the ap
pointment of Col. West will give en-
tire satisfaction and at the same time
appease south Georgia which has so
long been ignored in the election of gov
errors and senators. Col West is
man OF strong personality, of marked
ability in business and in a political
way, having in years past filled many
positions of trust and responsibility.
The contest Of the past few days has
aroused greatest interest, lnasmuch as
so many "favorite sons" we're present
ed the governor for the appointment.
A delegation of citizens from Colum.
bus and counties adjoining Muscogec
sat with the governor today, urging
the appointment of Gunby Jordan, for
mer railroad commissioner and capt.
talist. They told the governor that Nj.
Jordans appointment would break
down old political alignments in Geof-
gia and give to the state two of the
ablest men in the United States SEN
ate.
i Governor Slaton, will without doubt,
be a candidate before the people in the
state primary to succeed Senator Ba-
con- the term of Col West expiring vita
the current year.

Thr| ttcught is brought ,o mind by the condition of the Armcnians in Turkey at the present time and the conditions oi the Jews in Russia.
 In both countries the peoples men ticned are of different race and re- hgion from those among who they dwell and for this reason through cen turies they have been humiliated, murdered and considered outcasts.
 The treatment that the Jews have received in Russia, that the Armcn- ians have received in Turkey one would think would have century ago t:ese peoples may have had and in time eliminated the race.
 But the remarkable thing is that the reverse has been the case. Tn Jews in Russia, as well as in many other countries. have gained in num- Der and power and influence as the years of persecution have gone on and the race without q national home seems to have thrivcd in the homes of every other nation in the world in spite of persecution in all.
 It speaks well for the soliditrity and stamina of this wandering race oi people that through all the centuries il has meyer lost its identity pr its race individuality
 In Turkey the anne conditions cx. ist with the Armenians as is seer with the Jews in Russia, only. per. haps. in Turkey the condition of tho persecuted race is even worse than il ia in Russia.
