was sprung and admonished all mem
bers of his race to forsake their evil
ways and obey the laws of God and
man.
Ransom Williams, Florida negro,
convicted of criminal assault of a
white woman in Calhoun county and
tried in Albany on a change of venue,
was hanged in the Dougherty county
Jail. The execution took place in the
Jail corridor and was witnessed by
only a few persons. A sister of the
prisoner attended the hanging and
took the body to Florida. Just before
the black cap was drawn over his
head Williams made a statement. He
made no reference to his crime, but
said he had made peace with God.
The crime of Williams was an ex-
ceedingly atrocious one, his victim
being found unconscious in the COW
lot, where she had gone about night
to milk.

MAY REDUCE SIZE
OF LOAF OF BREAD
Flour Higher Than in Ten Years, and
Bakers Say They Cannot Give as
Much as Heretofore.

ATLANTA.-OnIy the fact that
practically all Of them were we'll sup
piled with flour before the recent adj
yanced price has prevented the bak-
ers from diminishing the size of the
cents loaf of bread, according to
statements made by a number OF
them today.
Atlanta bakers say that flour is
higher than it has been at any time
in the last ten years, and that unless
conditions materially improve in the
near future it will be necessary for
them either to cut down the size OF
the ordinary loaf of bread or raise the
price to 6 cents. Not only has flour
gone up $1.25 a barrel within the last
ten days, but it is said that the price
of practically every material used in
the bakery has reached a high rec
ord within the last few months.
The bakers may have their own
way about it if they decide to do it
There is no legal restriction as to
the size of the loaf of bread in Geor-
gia, nor is there any law or ordinance
controlling the price.

WAR AMONG ANIMALS.
Battles Continually Raging as Result
of Racial Differences.

of Racial Dl1ToFonCeS.
Warfare and enmity are not con-
fined to human beings. Among ami
mails battles are constantly raging,
the results of instructive or racial diff
ferences which, if we could analyze
them, might compare with the emo
tons and feelings in our own breasts.
Moles, clumsy and blind, become
perfect demons when they quarrel.
No one knows what they quarrel
about, but when they once start to
fighting one must die. They will
keep on in the presence Of any num-
Der of spectators, hanging on to each
other like bulldogs and burying their
enormously strong teeth in one an
others flesh with the utmost fury.
Hedgehogs, another type Of the
quiet, ve-looking animal, not
only fight, but always to the death,
and when one is killed the other
generally devours him. Hares on the
other hand, are proverbially the
most timid of creatures, yet a fight
between two hares is ludicroua
sight, as they skip and jump over
each other. But a blow from the
hind legs of hare is no joke to his
opponent.

A GEORGIA JUDGE FINES
A MAN BY THE POUND
He Charged Offender One Dollar for
Every Pound of Sugar He Stole.


Filming a man by the pound is a
new method of procedure introduced
by a Georgia judge, but it sounds
like a meritable one. When negro
was carried before this judge charged
with stealing sugar his honor ascer-
tanned the number of pounds stolen
and fined the offender 81 pound.
Commenting on this incident the
Triton Gazette says: There is some
kind of change needed in the method
of some of the courts. Many times
man charged with stealing an al
most worthless article is given twelve
months on the gang or some such
punishment, while a man who stole
few hundred dollars worth of stuff
is let off very light. It is well FOR
the courts to be strict, but little
horse sense along with the strictness
is commendable."

Earthquakes That Hold Record;
Italy Has Been Visited Frequently

lives and material damage estimated
at S45,OOO,OO0. A month later Kagi
again was visited, with additional
loss of life and much property dam
age.
Then followed the San Francisco
disaster in which 500 were killed
and 100000 made homeless, with a
property loss of $3OO,OOO,OOO.
A few months later Valparaiso was
destroyed by earth shocks and con-
fagration. Two thousand inhabitant'
were killed and a monetary loss of
S25O.OOO,OO0 resulted. Within four
days from the first earth shock the
region for hundreds of miles around
Valparaiso was visited by 3S2 quakes,
in which the towns Of Los Andes and
MeIippilla, with an aggregate popu-
lation of 10000, were destroyed.
Santiago, Chile, lost So persons killed
and suffered $1,50O,0O0 damage
while the towns of Vino del Mar
Quirihue, Linache and Quillota, with
a total of $4,000 inhabitants, were
completely destroyed.
Later in the same year there were
disturbances in Porto Rico, German
New Guinea and again in Chile.
In 1907 came the disaster to King
ston. Jamaica, in which over 1,0OC
lives were lost and $25,000,000 dam
age was done. Carriage, Costa Rico
lost 1900 lives in 1910 from ar
earthquake, and in Turkey, in 1912
5000 persons persisted, while 100000
were made homeless in a similar dis
aster.
Last year Sakura, Japan, was visit
ed by an earthquake and the eruption
of a volcano which caused much
property damage but did not result
in large loss of life. Last May in
Sicily 200 persons were killed and
and 1000 injured.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1915-01-19

Italy in past years has Aad numer-
GUS visitations from earthquakes, in
which thousands have persisted and in
which millions of dollars of property
damage has resulted.
1t fell to the lot of Italy to suffer
what probably was the greatest dis
aster from an earthquake that the
world ever saw. This was in Decem-
Der, 1908, when in Sicily and Gala
bria 76,483 persons were killed, Co.
47O injured and 100000 made
homeless. In that disturbance Mes
sina, Santa Teresa, Scaleta and Faro,
in Sicily, and Reggie, San Giovanni,
San Mufa, Gallicao, Palmi, Pellaro
and Cannitello, in Calabria,, were de-
stroyed.
The financial loss never was accu-
rately computed, but it ran into many
millions of dollars.
Up to the time of this disaster the
earthquake at Lisbon, Portugal, III
1855, which cost 10000 lives, caus-
ed the greatest number of casualties.
The period for seismic disturbances
which holds the record was 1906.
It was during this time that great
disasters occurred the world over.
The destruction of San Francisco and
Valaparaiso and the razing of eigh-
teen villages in Calabria occurred n
the spring and summer of that year.
The province of Esmeraldas, in Ecu
ador. was shaken in January, 1907,
and a great tidal wave followed,
drowning many persons and devas-
tating the city of Esmeraldas. Co
lombia also suffered in this disturb
ance, about 800 persons being killed.
A month and half later, on the
island of Formosa, the village OF
Kagi and three other towns were de-
stroyed with the loss of thousands of

Pulliam further asserted that he
had warned Assistant Secretary OF
State Osborne in July, 1913, under
no circumstances to have anything to
do with the Banco Nacional crowd, "
and had explained the character OF
the institution to him and that it was
seeking to exploit Dominican fl
nances.
Surprised and Incensed.
81 was surprised and incensed, -
he said, chat such coterie got to
Bryan's ears. I was sorry to see the
receivership of customs made the
subject of political exploitation. For
eight years the receivership had been
operated without trouble and the diff
fculties that later arose were I'M
ouestionably caused by Sullivan's
transferring the funds to the Banco
Nacional. They had no funds. They
wanted to establish credit for them
selves. The bank was a joke"
Pulliam said he had no doubt that
the Jarvis interests were responsible
for his removal.

NEW YORK.-Assertions that the
changes made by the present Wash
ington administration in the person
mel of the governments officials in
the Dominican Republic were due TO
the influence of interests seeking to
exploit that country's finances were
made today at the inquiry conducted
nv Senator-elect Phelan of California
to determine whether James NJ. Sui
livan, the American minister, is lit
to hold his post.
Secretary of State Bryan was &C
cused of lending ear, in appointing
Sullivan, to the Samuel M. Jarvis CO.
terie of New York financiers who con-
trolled the Banco Nacional at San
Domingo This institution was al
legged to have been an institution
without standing on the island and
which sought to obtain the deposit of
customs duties, whose collection IS
administered by the United States
and other government funds.
PuIliam's Testimony.
William E. Pulliam, receiver gen
eraI of the customs at Santo Domingo
during the Taft administration, test1-
fed that F. j. R. Mitchell, president
of the Banco Nacional, had published
in a Dominican newspaper that w. t.
S. Doyle, head of the department. OF
Latin-American affairs in the state
department, had been removed on
complaint of Mitchell and that Mitch
ell subsequently had said to him:
"I told you so. There'll be several
other changes and they'll extend to
Santo Domingo"
In June, 1918, Mitchell came to
him again, he said, and told him that
Russell, American minister under Mr..
Taft, was not returning.
"He told me-" the witness testified,
chat if I were a good guesser he'd
tell me the name of the next minister.
It ends with an n, he said"
That Secretary Bryan at that time
had high opinion of Sullivan was
evidenced by a letter placed in the
record today by Walter w. Wick, who
succeeded Pulliam as receiver gen.
eral and who after his removal insti-
gated the present investigation. The
letter addressed to Wick under date
of Aug. 20, 1913, read
Bryan's Letter to Wick.
