FATHER AND DAUGHTER
PERISH IN QUICKSAND
DROWN WHILE MOTHER AND
CHILDREN LOOK ON, UNA
BILE TO HELP.

SAVANNAH, Gar. H. Barrow
and his daughter, Jennie Sue, aged
10, were caught in quicksand and
drowned in Pearsons pond, near
Spartanburg, S. c., while Mrs. Bar
row and her three little sons stood
near the edge of the water, unable
to render any assistance.
The accident took place in a small
body of water, near which the mem
bers of the Barrow family were
spending the afternoon.
The girl went into the pond to
wade, and was caught in the quick
sand, which gripped her feet and
slowly drew her down. The father
went to the assistance of the girl,
and as he approached her he, too,
became a victim of the sands. The
child quickly disappeared, but in her
struggles she seized her father about
the neck, pulling him under the wa
ter with her.
The mans head, however, reap
peared above the water and he strug-
gled energetically for release, but,
Embedded in the sands above his
knees he was unable to eXtricate him
self, and was drowned standing up,
with the top of his head showing
above the surface of the water.

SKYSCRAPERS LACKED
UP AND PUT ON NEW WALLS
Feat of Engineers One of Greatest
Ever Accomplished.

What engineers consider one of
the greatest feats ever accomplished
is the William street subway in New
York city, where giant skyscrapers
are shifted from one foundation to
another as the work progresses.
Now, William street is 40 feet
wide. In places the new subway is 80
feet, 6 inches wide. Its $500 feet of
length is lined with rs buildings,
high and low, all built on the shifting
sands through which the new tunnel
winds its way.
1t would have been the obvious
thing for these buildings to slide into
the hole made by the shifting sand.
But they mustn't slide. The most
any of the rs buildings sank was
three-eighths of an inch. They dug
the tunnel through quicksand and
made foundations under the enor-
nous buildings as they progressed.
The weight of some of these build
ings was shifted four times, from
temporary substructures, before they
found permanent foundations.

SAILOR ON WRECKED
BOAT VICTIM OF SHARK
Seized by Man-Eater While Trying
to Leave the Steamer.


Observation-Disclosures of
the sunken steamer Ramos, who
were brought to this port last night,
said today that one of the two men
was lost while lifeboat was being
launched Wednesday in the storm off
the North Carolina coast was drawn
under the water by a shark, schools
of which they said were sighted by
the crew. Capt. McGoldrick and
eight other members of the crew who
were in one of three lifeboats have
not yet been found, and it is feared
they have fallen victims of sharks.
Peter Ostram of New York, first
officer of the Ramos, was quoted to-
day as saying that one of the life
boats was capsized as it was launch
ed and that one of the seamen, Harry
Hinchman, was caught by shark.
II saw the shark dart up and get
him." Ostram is quoted as saying.
''You see, all our provisions had
washed overheard and brought the
big fish around in hordes. The sharks
were so thick in the water that we
had difficulty at times in rowing.

SENATORS BOLD and
DEFIANT IN DEBATE
PICKETT AND MCRoRY ENGAGE
IN VERBAL BATTLE. CLASH
SMOOTHED OVER.

An injection of spirit came into
fairly dull senate session early
Thursday afternoon when Senators
D. c. Pickett, of the Eleventh, and
c. R. McCrory, of the Thirteenth,
became plain in their remarks and
fired a broadside or two at each 9TH
er. The smoke cleared away and left
no casualties.
They were debating on the Per-
sons amendment providing for a
compulsory county school levy of two
mills. Senator Boykin of the Seven
teenth, averring right and left that
the common people were slated for
the little end of the horn, made the
statement that among the horde of
lobbyists present at every session
none were for the common schools
of the state.
II say there are Hobbies for the
common Schools" answered Senator
Pickett. II say that every self-re-
speeding politician in this senate is
lobbyist for the so-called common
people and for the common schools"
"Pd like to see one," shouted the
gentleman from the Eleventh.
Senator McCrory got the floor.
"The remarks of Pickett are I'M
qualifiedly untrue" he declared. at
is quite possible that when God dis
tributed brains about the country the
supply gave out after He had served
the senator from the Eleventh. But
I will say by the Eternal God that l
am the equal to any senator here and
will vote as / want to, regardless of
bulldoZing by any man or set of
men,"
Senator Pickett took the offensive.
Beating upon Senator McCrory's
desk he made known his thoughts as
follows:
"If anybody in this senate cham
Der thinks | am bulldOzer, if any
body thinks l haven't got grit in my
craw, let him tell me so on the out
side of the chamber, and if / don't
resent the insult I'll never speak to
my wife again"
The speaker explained that he had
meant no offense in his previous re-
marks concerning the public school
lobbyist, whereupon Senator NEGRO
ry withdrew his words. Senator Pick
EFT fired up cigarette, bit into one
of Senator Pat Haralson's liberia
peaches and the incident was closed.

SENATE ENDORSES
BIENNIAL SESSIONS
Passes Peacock Bill 81 to 5. Walker
Glasses the General Assembly
as unnecessary Evil"

ATLANTA.-The senate placed
it's stamp of approval on biennial SEES
sions of the Legislature yesterday,
when it passed the bill of Senator
2. V. Peacock by vote of 81 to D.
One of the companion bills, provld-
ing for sixty-day sessions, was pass
ed with only four dissenting votes,
and another increasing the compen-
sation of the members of the general
assembly from 81 to Sc per diem
was defeated.
The bill was opposed by Senators
Adams, Akin, Mangham, Stovall and
Turner. While speaking in favor OF
the measure Senator Walker was
questioned by Senator Burnside, 10
Won favor the entire abolition OF the
blooming thing or do you think II
should be held every once In a "hlie
as a necessary evil?"
81 think it should be held every,
once in awhile as a necessary evil
replied Senator Walker.
Senator Way, in favorlng the pas
sage of the bill, stated, that 1t was 10
the interests of the members OF the
legislature to meet annually and
have the privilege of spending the
summer in the fair city of Atlanta,
but he thought that the bill should
be passed since the people OF the
state were overwhelmingly in favor
of biennial sessions.

COL. ROOSEVELT APPEALS
FOR THE ELECTION OF
MR.. HUGHES.

o appeal to my fslIow citizens
. that they shall elect Mr.. Hughes
o and repudiate Mr.. Wilson be-
. cause only by SO doing can they
. save America from that faint of
D gross selfshness and cowardice
3 which we owe to Mr.. Wilson's
. substitution of adroit elocution
D for straightforward action. The
permanent interests of the Amer
. lean people lie, not in ease and
, comfort for the moment, no mat
, ter how obtained, as Mr.. Wilson
, would teach us; but in resoIute
, championship of the ideals of ma
, tional and international demo-
, cratic duty, and in preparedness
, to make this championship effeo-
, tive by our strength. President
, dent Wilson embodies in his per-
son that most dangerous doc
trine which teaches our people
that when fronted with really
} formidable responsibilities we can
shrk trouble and labor and risk,
and avoid duty by the simple
process of druegins our souls
with tho narcotic of meaningless
phrasemonsering. Mr.. Hughes,
to the exact contrary, embodies
the ideal of service rendered
through conscientious effort in
the face of danger and difficult
ty. Mr.. Wilson turns his words
into deeds only il this can be Z
achieved by adroit political ma
neuVering, by bartering a de-
bauched civil service for con-
gressionaI votes on behalf OF
some measure which he had SOL
elmnly promised to oppose. Our
own self-respect demands that
we support the man of deeds
done in the open against the man
} of furtive and shifting political
} maneuvers; the man of service
} against the man who whenever
} opposed by dangerous foe al
ways takes refuge in empty elo-
cution.-From the Speech of Col. 4
