ONE SOUTH GEORGIA MAN Is
GOING TO HAVE PLENTY COAL

ATLANTA, Ca, June 26.-There IS
at least one large coal user in Georgia
who has beat the H. c. L., and While
his experience is not of such a nature
that it can be used as guide by otn-
ers in need of coal, it is interesting
nevertheless.
This man is the head of pubic
utility corporation in a flourishing
south Georgia city. He was out OF
coal and couldn't buy any more HIS
utility was threatened with paralysis.
His situation was desperate.
He bethought himself that an old
college chum was now head OF the
traffic department of big railroad haV-
ing a line to the city where he mad
been buying his coal, Going to the city
where this official was located, the cor
poration president persuaded him TO
send ten coal cars to the mine. Then
he returned home an notified the mine
to be on the lookout for the cars and
to load and dispatch them at once. He
waited
But no coal came, and he'd be wait
ing now if he were the waiting KIND
He got on the train and went to the
mine. He telegraphed his friend to
scnd him the car numbers by wire, and
back they came. He went to the side
tracks at the mine and found his cars
He demanded of the mine manager to
know why his coal had not been ship
ped The manager gave him scant
satisfaction.
Then the public utility magnate
went and got him lawyer, and waited
on the manager a second time, and out
lined program that curled the mine
managers hair, and the coal was load
ed in two hours and shipped. But the
Georgian didn't make the mistake OF
going with it. Not on your life. He
teleeraphed his general superintend
ent to load the cars with half ton OF
dirt after the coal had been unloaded,
and to ship them back to him at the
mine. And he's there yet, while those
ten cars are travelling back and forth
from the mine to the south Georgia
city, ana he's going to stay there until
he gets every last ton of the coal his
contract calls for.

HANS WAGNER NOW PLAYING
HIS TWENTY-FIRST SEASON

NEW YORK, June 26.-Twenty years
a star in the National league, and now
starting on his twenty-frst season
That's the record of Hans Wegner, the
Honus of the Pittsburg club. Only two
men in baseball history have done
more years of baseballing. Cap Arson
was up there twenty-five years. Nap
Lajoie was a star for twenty-one years.
The return of the famous PittsburS
player probably means that before he
cuts the diamond he will have equallec
or perhaps eclipsed, the stretches left
by those other stars.
Wegner's record shows greater to-
tai of hits and runs than ever was
scored by another player. Even An
son and Lajoie with their longer terms
of service, rank behind him in these
wo columns.
His last year before deciding to re
tive (the Rernhardt or Patti kind was
his poorest on the paths, out MS pdI-
ting showed an improvement over the
few years just previous. He confided
while going through the rigors of the
last campaign that his eyes were dim
ming considerably and that his legs
wouldn't carry him as far as they for
merly did.
Il expect to lose speed gradually.
he complained, "but l don't see why
most of the strength shouldn't stay
Playing on the damp ground of the
Pittsburg baseball field probably was
to blame for this. He developed rheu
matism which bothers him to a great
extent in the early spring and late
fall.

SENSELESS SUFFRAGETTE
TACTICS.

The Washington police department
yesterday put an end to the suffrage
plcketing of the White House, which
has been a sort of national joke since
early last winter
The final straw which broke the cam.

OF the Russian mission the occasion
for not only insulting President Viii
son, but the commission of an act that
was really REASONABLE, tactics on a par
with what the suffragettes have been
doing ever since they have been pick

Why these ridiculous women persist
in putting the suffrage cause above
their country's welfare in a great ma.

DEFENDERS OF CONGRESS-.

Senator Hoke Smith, in the baccalur
cate address made by him to the gradu
ating class of the University of Geor
gia. offered defense of congress AM
particularly a defense of the United
States senate against the charge that i
has been slow and has INSTRUCTED leg
islation. He declared, we quote news
report the legislative branch o.
the government had been in reality but
the better supporters of the President
from the very fact that it had not pass
ed in a day every measure which came
from the administration-but had per
fected these measures and made them
safe and strong before putting them
into law. He said he was not one to
believe that every suggestion from the
Executive should be Immediately made
into law"
Similarly, Mr.. Champ Clark, speaker
of the house, speaking at Valley Forge
upon the occasion representing the
Memorial Arch, which marks the site
of the encampment of Washington
and his army during the winter of 1777-
rs. to the state of Pennsylvania, made
the occasion serve to declare that con-
gress is doing it whole duty" toward
the present war to speedy
ard triumphant conclusion
He said that representatives and
senators mot only vote unheard of
sums of money for the prosecution of
the war, but to the limit of their fin
ancial ability they contribute to the
cause by purchasing bonds to foot the
bills" He also said that representa-
tlves and senators mot only voted 9TH
er mems sons into the army, but they
send their own sons to fight, perchance
to die, for the starry banner of the re-
public"
Let us be comforted Senator Smith
offers us the consolation of rejecting
that the precipitate and impulsive sug-
gestions of our hasty and impatient
President are admirably cooled down
md balanced off by the senate, which,
before putting them into law, renders
hem safe and strong" Senator Smith
seems TO think that delay itself exer-
Uses some magic power to strengthen
md make safe.
The speaker of the house is at pains
to tell the public that even the repre-
and senators are buying Lib
erty bonds and letting their sons go to
war. Thus we may consider that con-
gress averages up in patriotism along
with the rest of the country, while it
fulfills the function of preventing dis
patch in our organization for war most
perfectly. This may not quiet the
doubts and misgivings of those who
believe the time for dispatch is at
hand, but it is possibly very cosy
thought for those who believe that the
only way to be efficient is to delay ac-
ton.
Personally we do not feel greatly
vhooped up, either by Senator Smith
or the Champing Clark We still find
it in our hearts to wonder why these
useless bubbles and destructive OBJ
structions.- Savannah Press.
