GEORGIANS ENTER
A STRONG PROTEST
Postmaster General BurleSOn Told
That Motor Rural Mail Service
Is Unsatisfactory.

Congressman Charles R. Crisp, of
the Third district returned to his
home in Americas to spend the holt
days.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of the Progress MIR. Crisp told
of the visit made by the entire Geor-
gia delegation in the house, together
with Senator T. w. Hardwick, to
Postmaster General Burleson and to
Assistant Postmaster General Blakes-
lee for the purpose of registering a
strong protest against the operation
of motor rural free delivery routes
in Georgia.
The Georgia delegation based its
protest on the fact that the motor
delivery service as at present oper-
ated is unsatisfactory to both pat
rons and employees alike, on account
of the difficulty encountered in sery-
ing patrons efficiently and the eX-
treme inconvenience to the carriers.
Postmaster General Burleson,
while refusing to rescind the general
orders. agreed that he would take off
individual motor routes, restoring
the original horse routes, in all cases
where it was shown that the motor
routes are impracticable.
According to orders recently is
sued by the department several new
motor routes are to be established in
this district during February and
March next. but it is thought that
these orders may be rescinded.

Was Convinced by Sheriff That Ne
gro Was Not There.

Last Sunday night a mob, presum-
ably from Lee county, visited our
city hunting the negro Sheriff Potts
had arrested charged with killing
Sheriff Moreland of Lee county.
Before the mob arrived Sheriff
Potts had sent the negro to another
county for safe keeping, and when
they arrived at the Jail he soon con-
WINGED them that he did not have the
man they were looking for.
They soon left and went to Albany,
and arriving there one of the lead
ers was heard to say that they had
information that the negro was in
the Colquitt county Jail, and that
they were going right over and get
him out and hang him instanter.-

WILL FUTRELLE is
TO Be CARED FOR
SON OF FORMER DAWSON MAN
AND BROTHER OF NOTED AT
THOR OBJECT OF CHARITY.
ON THE COUNTY POOR FARM
When in Dawson Was Known as a
Rambler, and Later Contracted
tuberculosis. Fell i'm Streets of
MOultrie PenniIeSs.

VIII Futrelle, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. H. Futrelle, former residents of
Dawson and himself well known here
by many citizens, and a brother of
jacques Futrelle, the noted author
who lost his life when the Inflated
Titanic went down at sea over three
years ago, is out at the county farm
of consumption. OF him the Moul-
trie Observer has the following to
say:
He went to Moultrie on an evening
train Thursday, and while trying to
walk down town fell exhausted on
the sidewalk, where he was found
half frozen some time later by Officer
Laney, and taken to local santa
rum. Friday morning the city and
county officials had him carried to
one of the cottages at the farm
and supplied him with a nurse and
medical attention.
'tMr. Futrelle's case is one of the
saddest that comes to human expert
ence. A competent railroad man, he
worked well and lived well until the
dreadful white plague struck him,
and then began that awful expert
ence which has found its final home
in the wards of public charity-tam-
lily all dead, money all gone, health
gone. friends vanished.
will Futrelle is the last of his
family except the little son of Jaques'
who is in school in Atlanta. When
stricken with tuberculosis, unable to
keep I'D his work, the railroads had
no further use for this man, and ne
sought employment from Others put
his white face and hacking cough
told the story and every man turned
away from him with fear, hurried
him away with a threat or coldness
that sent him on down to the poor
house or a pauper's gra"e, somehow.
"From seeking work, which he was
finally too weak to do, he sought
the protection of towns, countles,
but these all with a
feeling of horror hurried him away
TO the next town to die for no COM
munity wanted a tubercular to DIE III
its midst-all wanted some other
town to run the risk, bear the eA-
penses, undergo the trouble.
And in Colquitt at the homely ut
tie cottage out at the county farm
with a warm wood fire, a coy room,
neat bed, nice bath with hot and cold
water. this man whose brother was
national character of letters has come
TO die and receive the bounty which a
county and city are willing to extend
IN one who is footsore and weary and
buffeted to last retreat.
Was Known as ROamer.
When Futrelle lived in Dawson ne
was known as a man of a rowing dls-
oosition with no fixed place OF aDooe'
or any known employment.

CHRISTIANA, Norway Nor
wegian liner Bergensfjt I'd, with Hen
ry Ford on board, sailed for New
York this morning. Mr.. Ford stated
before leaving Bergen that the peace
expedition would continue under the
AUSPICES of the Women's Information

ueI S. Marquis, dean Of st. PauPs
Cathedral, Detroit, sailed from Ber-

Ends Movements.
Henry Ford's departure from Eu-
rope apparently marks the termina-
ton, in its original form, of the most
novel of the many movements which
have been undertaken to bring about
the ending of the war. Mr.. Ford's an
nouncement that the Women's Inter
national Peace Association hence
forth will conduct the expedition
would seem to indicate that, so far
as he personally is concerned, he will
relinquish the self-imposed task
which he expressed in the phrase:
Out o fthe trenches by Christ
mas" 1t has not been made clear,
however, whether Mr.. Ford will con-
tinue to give financial support to the
enterprise.
The Women's International Peace
Association has been in existence for
some time. 1t held congress at the
Hague last spring and appointed del
egates to visit the capitals of various
European and American nations. One
of the most prominent women at the
congress was Madame Rosika
president of the Hun
garian Woman Suffrage Association, |
and a member Of the Ford peace par |
ty. After the congress at the Hague |
Nine. Schwimmer came to the United |
States to continue her work for peace. |
She went to Detroit to see Mr.. Ford, |
and it was reported it was she who |

peace expedition.
Dissension Reports.
Before the peace ship Oscar II
reached the other side there were re- |
ports of dissension among the peace |
delegates. When Mr.. Ford reached |
Jhristiana he kept in the back
ground, it being said that he was i'll.
It was not until last night, however,
hat the unconfrmed report that he |

Although full details have |
not been received it would appear ,
hat he made his departure secretly,
