Notes ON Affairs i'm Georgia.
The Atlanta Street-Car Strike.

IF Mr.. G. W. Dozier of Dawson has any
real friend among the lawyers of that city,
he should consult that friend at once, and
inquire about the Penal Code in reference to
Bailees, factors, commission men, and others
who hold property or cash, IN trust.
Our law is quite stringent, as it should be.
I cannot take a mans bale of cotton into
my own warehouse, and then fail to account
for it, on the fimsy pretext that [ have lost it.
Having taken possession of it, IN trust for
the 020ner, must produce the cotton on de-
mand, or pay the full value thereof with
interest, or must defend myself from
charge Of LARCENY LITTER Trust.
Mr.. Dozier is running grave risk in re-
fusing to pay for the cotton of Messrs. Flem-
ing and English. He is deliberately putting
himself in a position that cannot be defended,
even by his best friends.
He drew draft-as Chairman Of the Buy
a-Bale Cotton Committee of Dawson-on
Fleming & English, Franklin Tenn, for the
amount of $51.GO, dated Nov. 6, 1914.
That draft was paid at the National Bank
of Franklin, on Nov. 9, 1914.
W. II. English, member of the firm of
drawees, makes affidavit before E. J. Hyde,
Notary Public, that the only paper attached
to said draft was letter fr0nG\J. II. Bell,
Chairman of the Nashville Buy-aBale Com
mittee, to Mr., Dogier, instructing Mr.. D.
hOw to nonhe the draft
This affidavit, vouched for by notarial seal,
is dated Oct 4, 1916
Accompanying the original draft and the
affidavit is letter to me, in which the Frank
lin factors say:
Mr.. Saville further says, Having records of
the numbers, he (Mr. Dozier) has been unable to
identify the bale of cotton hence could not pOssi-
bly, have disposed of it for them."

THE .JEFFERSONIAN

the Smith -Hardwick organs-such as the At
lanta Journal-are as bitterly antagonistic
as Arkwright, Hub Dean, Jack Spalding,
Alex King, and Asa Gambler.
It is curious situation.
Hub Dean, one Of the legal props Of the
Electrical Trust, went down to Macon, took
charge Of the Convention, and ran it. to suit
himself.
In this glorious work, he was ably assisted
by that venerable patriot, W. b. Simmons,
of Lawrenceville.
With wild enthusiasm, Hub and Bill en-
dorsed Woodpile Wilson, a0z0se most recent
and most glorious erpzOit had been has rec0g-
niti0n Of Labor Unions!
Bless my old red head, the attorneys Of the
Electric Trust hadn't more than recovered
from the hoarseness, incident to their shout
ing for the Unparalleled President, before
they were engaged in a life-and-death strug-
gle with Labor, REFUSING to recognize the
Union.
President Wilson not only recognizes the
Unions, but treats with the four chiefs OF
those Unions, and orders Congress to speed
up a law, giojng the Unions 10 hours pay
for s hours aC0rh
Congress hears the school-masterss voice,
as usual, and shoots the law right through,
quicker than you could give dozen repeti
tions to the sweet name of Susan-Ann Dusan-
berry.
Wilson says to the Unions and to the
Capitalists, ''We will pay these Union rail-
oad-workers what they demand; and, In
stead of knocking off any of the thousand mil
lion dollars Of profits the Capitalists made
last year, ece aoIl aU010 the afflicted Capitaz-
lists to adOdnce freight rates, and thus make
the patient farmer and ultimate consumer
pay for the hours acorh achich nobody
I,,t nos7 Ia
PAY.
That's the size of it, my son.
1t amt bit Of use for you to cuss me out
about tim telling y0u the truth.
The farmers, and the final consumers of
slapped goods, are those who will have to
pay the Unions for 10 hours, when the work
is done in s. Selah.
And the able attorneys for the Electric
Trust the L. & n. Railroad, the Central Rail
road, the National Banking systems, etc, all
tumbled down to Macon, and uproarionsly
endorsed the Lantern jawed Pedagogue who
had lashed the Adamson law through his
academy.
But when it comes to applying the same
principle to the Street Railways of Atlanta,
its horse Of another color.
President Wilson recognized the Union,
but President Arkwright can't. Why not +?
Congressman Adamson could recognize the
Union but Fred Paxon couldn't. What's the
matter with Fred?
The Democratic party IN Congress could
recognize the Union, but the Democratic
party IN At1amto scornfuly refuses to do so.
Where are we at, anyway?
In the National deadlock, the Capitalists
pleaded for arbitration, and the Unions re-
jected it.
In the Atlanta situation. the Unions nlead
for arbitration. and the Capitalists reject it.
The Jeffersonian., 1916-10-12

Mr.. Dozier himself in a letter to us, dated
Feb g. 1916 says, ''The warehouse Gin which it
is claimed the bale stored) says that they
have thoroughly looked the 1900 bales OF
cotton stored in their warehouse and do not
find it, and find that the stub of the book from
which they issue the receipts is marked shipped
and that is all the record they have. Mr.. Sa-
vile and Mr.. Dozier should get together.
According to Mr.. Dozier, the warehouses stub
record of bale is marked shipped. This be-
ing the case, the warehousemen should certainly
be able to exhibit the returned receipt and should
be able to give the name of the party to whom
the bale shipped, and also the stub should
show the number of our bale of cotton.
We desire to state that honored the draft
for the bale of cotton in good faith, and thought
we were dealing with fair men. We desire to
state further that bought this bale not to
make money, but to help the producer. Had we
desired to speculate in cotton, we could have
bought cotton at considerably less.
FLEMING & ENGLISH.
There is no law which requires you to pro
duce receipt, before you can get your
property from bailee Receipts are not
evidences of title, and q receipt against q re-
ceipt, is as good as gold.
Now, Mr.. Saville, you undertook to defend
the extremely peculiar conduct of Mr.. Dozier:
y0ur good name is thereby involved
Let us hear from you, Brother
It would be an awkward task for lawyer
to defend somebody, in the case if the Grand
jury indicts the bailee for Larceny after

Wall Street thieves got control of the stock,
mortgaged it for sixteen millions, and

Then j. P. Morgan, the Chief of Wall

capitalization of more than fifty millions.
The difference between the original
capitalization and the latest iuggle repre-

The public is now taxed in freight rates in

JUNE DAYS

20, what is so smooth as day in
June? Then, if ever, are flossy days.
So the poet sang, with his Tyre in tune
and the subject deserved his praise
For day in June is the slickest thing
that ever the gods designed, and the
man who doesn't then smile and sing
has barnacles on his mind. Then the
coltkins play and the calfkins romp,
and gamboling are the lambs, and the
bullfrogs loot in the lonely swamp, all
happy as picked clans. Then the
grass is green and the skies are blue,
as blue as the laws allow, and the
blossoms CLEAN in the morning dew
like gems on damsel's brow. Mans
bosom throbs with Astounding life, he
ceases to fear and fret, and he re-
marks to his smiling wife, This world
is the one best bet" 1t is the time
of the blushing bride, the time Of the
graduate; and man, he losses his
crouch aside. and sees that his smile

BRANDON MAN LOSES LEG
AND HAND UNDER TRAIN

Rolla, June 8.-Miss Lille M. Stata
went to Brandon to visit her brother,
Chester Stata, who had met with ter
rible accident, resulting in the loss Of
his right hand and right foot by falling
from the top of freight car while in
motion. Mr.. Stata is conductor on a
freight train on the c. P. r. out of
Brandon. When the train left Wapel-
la, 16 miles from Brandon, Mr.. Stata
was standing near the engine and he
climbed on top Of the nearest car to
make his way back to the caboose.
While he was running the cars his Ian.
tern went out in the high wind and in
some manner he lost his footing and
fell under the train, He was not miss
ed until the train had gone 16 miles.
When the train backed up to Wapella
they found that he had crawled to the
station, distance of about 100 yards,
and that the men had cut off the foot
and bandaged the wounds as best they
could. He was then placed on a spe-
cial train and hurried to the hospital
in brandon. An operation was per-
formed there. The hand was amputat-
ed and the dismembered leg was prop
ery treated. Mr.. Stata stood the op-
Grafton well, but he is still in critical
condition owing to the long exposure
and the loss of blood. -.

some READABLE VERSE
MY DOCTOR

There's a great big-hearted doctor
whom l met some years ago,
He's whole-souled, jovial fellow, the
sort so good to know.
You would sometimes think him gush.
ing from his manner and his style,
But it's just the bubbling of his happy,
wholesome smile.
When the road is long and weary, and
the load is hard to bear, ......
When you're weighted down with SUI
fering, and no one seems to care,
Then it is this great big doctor comes
a-snliling up to you
With his genial "Cheer up, grille, we're
bound to see you through"
And you feel yourself uplifted with the
strength to play the part,
With his skill to aid your body, and
his smile to brace your heart.
Yes, he has one great ambition, and his
life work never ends.
With scores and scores Of patients, and
multitude of friends.
He doesn't strive for fame alone, but
keeps in sight his goal,
He's just noble fellow, with Gods
sunshine in his soul.
He's a sympathetic fellow, with eyes
that always see
The sufferings and the heartaches that
lie next to you and me.
For he knows the joy of living, all that
makes the world worth while,
And he saves both souls and bodies
with his dear old sunny smile.

CORN CONDITIONS IMPROVING

Corn conditions improved much dur
ing the week ending May 80, according
to the crop bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture.
Although there has also been an ad-
vance in wheat conditions they are still
unfavorable, continues the bulletin.
The Hessian fly is at work in the cen.
trail and southwestern districts, rust is
prevalent in Missouri and plants are
heading short in Virginia. Weather
has been unfavorable for wheat in the
northwest and on the Pacific coast.
The outlook is good for cotton, po-
tatoes, tobacco and truck crops.
Grass fields and pastures are generally
satisfactory and predictions are for a
banner fruit crop, although there has
been some damage from frost in the
Rocky mountain region.

CHILD is KILLED
WITH PAIL OF CORN

Ambrose, June 7.-George Stout of
this city received great surprise
when he read in a st. Paul paper of
the death of his nepheW's child in a
most peculiar manner near Upland,
Ind, where Mr.. and Mrs. Stout resid-
ed before coming to Ambrose. DR..
Trent Stout, the nephew, was riding
in his auto with his wife and child,
the car being operated by his driver.
They met a farmer on the road carry
ing pail of corn. The pedestrian
didn't seem inclined to take the side
of the road and the driver blew his
horn. The man then stepped to one
side and hurled the pail OF corn
straight into the auto, striking the
10-year-old girl in the chest and kill
ing her instantly. When the deed be-
came generally known it was with diff
ficulty that the murderer escaped be-
ing lynched by mob.

MlNcT VOTES FOR NEW SCHOOL

Minot, June 7.-Thirty thousand dol

school board to levy a ten mill tax for

be about $4,000. The structure will
be on the unit plan and the portion
