PUBLIC OWNERSHIP MAY
COME NOW VERY SOON
IF RAILWAY EMPLOYEES VOTE
TO STRIKE THE GOVERNMENT
MAY TAKE CONTROL.

The possibility of government OPP
Grafton of the nations railways is
nearer a fact than the country real
ICES. 1t depends only on the vote
of the railway employees to go out on
strike, thereby making private OPP
Grafton ineffective. That vote was
taken on August 1st.
Those who have regarded the ques
ton of government ownership of the
railways as a socialistic scheme and
an academic question, good for dis
cussion, but not for practice, may
be surprised to know how near to
actuality it is. For years the public
mind has been prepared by debate on
the subject. Members of congress
now can remember when the subject
was threshed out in their debating
society at home years ago. When ev-
cry other subject failed the question,
"Resolved, that the government
should own the railways" was dragg-
ed up. SO thoroughly have its pros
and cons been discussed that it would
really be small shock to the public
to wake up tomorrow and find itself
master of the transportation situa-
ton.
The announcement of the immedi-
ate possibility of such fact was made
by J. j. Keegan, United States com
missioner of labor, who said a few
days ago: ''The United States gov
eminent will Immediately seize and
operate every railroad in the United
States in case the four great brother
hoods vote on August to strike"
He adds that government owner
ship would inevitably follow. Signif-
icant was the introduction of a reso-
luton recently by Senator Newlands
authorizing the appointment of
commission to study the general
question of government ownership
and operation of railroads. Mr.. Kee-
gan also called attention to the fact
that the interstate commerce COM
mission for the past three years has
been appraising the valuation of the
railroads and said the federal gov
eminent as a result is better prepar-
ed than ever before to assume the
responsibility of government owner
ship.
1t is, therefore, momentous ques-
ton the four railway employee organ
izations are about to decide. 1t may
change the whole transportation sys-
tenn of the country.

MEN PROFIT BY STORM
DECATUR COUNTY FARMER HAS
SEVERAL HEAD OF ANIMALS
RESCUED FROM RIVER.

CAMBRIDGE, Ga.-The recent
high water in this county was accom-
panied by many freak results and
among them several forceful demon
strations of the old adage that at is
an i'll wind that blows nobody good"
J. T. Saunders, a farmer living
near Fairchild, on the Chattahoochee
river, is now in position to set up al
most a complete stock farm as the
result of the overflow of the river
He rescued from the waters twenty
six head of cattle and forty-nine
head of hogs that came floating by
his place on driftwood and tangled
treetops Many that had drowned
were allowed to continue on their
course. Many of the rescued ami
mails are full bloOded stock and none
of them have marks or brands by
which they may be identified. Mr..
Saunders telephoned to parties in
town today in an effort to locate the
rightful owners.
Another man found a herd of cat
tie and hogs marooned on an island
of timbers, brush and mud and built
a gangway out to them and penned
them on his place. In this lot were
seven Hereford cows and about 80 or
40 head of Duroc-Jersey hogs These
have not yet been identified. On an
island in Spring creek fourteen head
of sheep were found stranded on an
island.
1t is reported among the people
living along the Chattahoochee that
a church was seen to go floating
down the stream carrying with it a
man, woman and two children.
Whether they were rescued or the
building sank with them has never
been learned. Attempts at rescue
were vain at the point where it was
seen, as the river was two miles wide
and they were in the middle of the
stream.

OPEN SEASON FOR BUZZARDS
EXTENDS THE YEAR ROUND
Mr.. Rich of Miller County Author OF
of Amendment to Game Law.

Mr.. Rich of Miller County Author OF
of Amendment to Game Law.
The lower house of the legislature
has passed two amendments to the
game law.
One of these was introduced by
Rich, of Miller, and provides that the
"open season" for buzzards shall ex-
tend the year round, and that any
BODY shall be at liberty to Stay one
of these birds anywhere in the state
and at anv time. If this amendment
stands and becomes a law it Is de-
clared that Georgia will be the only
state in the union not protecting buz-
yards on the grounds that they are
purely scavengers.
Rich argued that the buZzard Us
the worst dissemination of hog chol-
era there is in the world" and ne
said that buzzards destroy lambs and
pigs.
friends of the bird, who argued that
the buzzard is the only living creature
whose digestive organs are such as
to destroy the hog cholera germ;
also that the buzzard feeds eXclu-
sively upon carrion and never preys.
The other amendment was offered
by Conger, of Decatur, and provides
that he owner of a fish pond may
fish in it at any time and all times,
irrespective of the general open esa-
son for fishing.

RECALL NOT CAUSE
OF FIELDER STABBING
so ROTH THE FRIENDS AND THE
FOES OF THE SAVANNAH
BILL ARE AGREED.

ATLANTA.-Thec cause of the cut
ting scrape in the Kimball House
Friday night between Thos. B. Eel
der. attorney for the law enforce
ment League, and G. K. Vason, front
doorkeeper of the house of represent
atives, was not, as has been alleged,
the Savannah recall bill, but subject
totally different, according to Charles
s. Arrow, state game and fish COM
missioner, who was an eyewitness TO
the fight. Mr.. Arrow gave the fol-
lowing statement:
81 was in one of the rooms OF Gov
ernor Harris campaign headquarters
with A. J. Lilies, representative from
Camden county. | heard loud talk
ing in the hall, but did not at first pay
anv attention to it. Then l heard
Speaker Burwells name mentioned.
| walked into the hall and saw Vason
and Fielder standing there.
''Vason was abusing Fielder IN
rambling, muttering undertone: HIS
words were not clear, but | heard
him accuse Fielder of telling lie on
Bill Burwell. He called Fielder a
liar. Then the two men
rushed into a clinch.
"There was dim light in the hall
way, and | could not tell which was
the aggressor. Nothing whatever was
said about Savannah's recall bill, so
far as | could hear"
Speaker Burwell said he had no
idea what ''lies" Vason was referring
l. |. n
any statement Mr.. Fielder may have
made about him. Vason and the 9TH
err doorkeeper and pages of the house
were appointed by the speaker.
Both Sides Agree.
Statements that the Savannah re-
call bill led to the cutting were Wig
orously denied by friends and enc
mics of the bill on the floor of the
senate this morning. Several sena-
tors who have led the opposition to
the bill rose to points of personal
privilege and expressed themselves
as resenting the intimation that the
bill or the author of the bill or its
friends had anything to do with the
fight.
Mr.. Fielder is reported as resting
easily. Though seriously cut his re-
covery is expected. He was stabbed
in the abdomen.
Just what inspired the house door
keeper is not known. He denied that
he was the aggressor.
Vason was Immediately taken into
custody by police officers, who ar
rested him in the Kimball lobby. He
made no attempt to escape. He stout
Iy denied that he was the aggressor
in the fight, declaring that Fielder at
tackled him first, and during the scuf-
fie which ensued Fielder was cut with
his own knife. Others say Felder's
knife was found in his pocket closed.

Wants % Cent Piece Coined

Congressman Bacharach has intro
duced a Bill for the coinage of a q cent
piece. MI. Bacharach is a member of
the Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, to which committee it was re-
ferred, and In speaking of the bill said
that he has realized for some time that
there has been a constantly growing
demand for q fractional coin of some
denomination, aud that he believed
the % cent piece to be the most practic-
able and the most economical. This
view has been confirmed by no less
an authority than the Director of the
Mint, who has recommended the
adoption of such a coin in his annual
message to the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Mr.. Bacharach stated that he felt
that now was the time to introduce
such a bill, for he believed that it
would have the support of the Director
and of the Treasury Officials, and he
felt sure that its adoption would assist
very materially in lowering the cost of
living. The amount of money lost to
the American consumers annually,
which they are obligd to pay out on
purchases If merchandise where the ex-
ira half cen must go to the merchant
without any return, because there is
now no coin of a fractional part of a
cent, amounts to millions of dollars,
which amount would be saved to the
consumer by the adoption of a % cent
piece.
The economic value of such a coin,
and the many and and varied uses to
which it could be advantsgeously put,
should commend this project most
favorably to the merchant and con-
sumner alike, aud [ hope to see the bill
enacted into law at this session of
Congress. AS a member of the COM
mittee which will have the matter in
charge ! shall use every energy to
have early consideration given TO the
bill.
