in Jail under charge of having swim
died him in one of the smoothest hoo
doc schemes ever worked here. The
negro in Jail has several names and is
said to have beaten the colored popu-
lace on all sides.
Jenkins loaned Wilson the money with
which to work the trick, then let the
trickster get away with it, but later
caught him and had him put in jail.
He told jenkins there was pot OF
money buried at the Rock House.
The two went to locate it and dug out
an old rusty vessel that had appar-
emily been placed by Wilson and COW
cred over with coal tar to hide the
fresh, earth.
In his trickery he convinced jenkins
that it was necessary to.have $3.50 with
which to make the pot yield $2S 600 or
other large sum and Jenkins came to
town and drew out of the bank, where
he had it deposited, that much of his
hard earnings and gave it over, but
watched the ceremony of making the
pot sweat" it out. His own real mon
ey was rolled in paper before his own
eyes and put under the pot, as jenkins
thought. The pot was to remain ten
days before it was to be disturbed.
Wilson left the pot with Jenkins up
in the loft" When he left jenkins got
serious and moved the pot too soon.
His money wasn't there.
He went after Wilson before Wilson
had time to get away. AS soon as Jer-
kins found that he could not get his
money he called Sheriff John Ward and
the hoodoo specialist was soon in jail
He was trying to make good the money
through Savannah friends at last re-
ports. He is said to have taken con-
siderable money from negroes all over
the county, numbers of them having
passed the affair up when they saw
they had been victime of a swindle.

NINE LOCOMOTIVES
ARE MANUFACTURED
DAILY AT BALDWINS

Nine locomotives in a day is the
new record achieved this week by the
Baldwin locomotive works at Philadel-
phia. The company is devOting the
entire capacity of its engine building
plants to turning out locomotives of
the large type. most of them for war
use, and $4,000 men are employed.
All locomotive building records
have been broken by the achievements
of the past few weeks. Only two
years ago the concern pointed with
pride to it's record of thirty locoTo-
tives a month. In the next few
months, going at the present rate, it
is expected that more than 225 a
month will be turned out. These are
all large engines of the consolidated
type.
The company bear it's speeding
late in July when it started its con-
tract TO furnish $50 locomotives to the
government for use in France. Each
weighs 275,O0O pounds and costs S43.-
600. The first one was built in 20
days. and after that they were deliv-
cred at the rate of four a day. The
government order of $50 locomotives
will he delivered by October l and
recently it was announced that the
entire lote of 764 locomotives needed
in France will be built by the Bald
win works.

WILSON'S NOTE HAS
PROFOUND EFFECT
ON ENGLISH SOCIALISTS

President Wilson's note has Great
ed profound impression on the Brit
ism socialist groups which have been
comforting on the question of sending
delegates to Stockholm TO discuss
peace by negotiations.
Although Arthur Henderson, the
labor leader, and many others, declin-
ed to express their opinion, on the
ground that they had not had time to
digest the note, all were deeply inter
ested. Even the extreme pacifists
were not willing to express disappro-
val of it, George James Wardle. Ia
Dor member of the commons, said
President Wilson had taken a very
high ground-"the only reasonable
grounds on which the future peace OF
the world can be guaranteed"
Can Be No Peace With Autocracy.
He added: Until the German peo-
pie are prepared to disown the govern
ment under which they live there are
little prospects of any peace which
will not be a mere preparation for
another and worse war"
James Ramsay Macdonald, socialist
and labor member of parliament, said
President Wilson ought to see that
by some conference such as that at
Stockholm the German people could
be directly approached, otherwise the
allied governments would simply
speak to the German people at long
distance and in words which they
would regard, rightly or wrongly, as
a menace, and that the German PEG
pie would continue to identify them
selves with their rulers.

added, then means war of attrition

Wilson has no decisions whatsoever

BREAD. SICKNESS
PREVAILS IN GERMANY

Official admission has been made
in Germany that owing TO the very bad
bread, epidemic bread sickness is
prevalent in many places.
The present war bread becomes bad
very rapidly during hot weather, and
becomes infested with what is called
hay or potato bacteria. The people
are officially informed that the best
way to prevent the bread going bad
is to wrap it in linen and hang it up
as used to be done with ham"-of hap
Ply memory.
The German authorities are much
concerned about the harvest, and it Is
impossible to avoid the conclusion
that the prospects are not so brigh.
as was anticipated Early vegetables
have been more of a mirage than q
reality. and the quantities which ap
peared on the town and city markets
have been so small as to be almost
negligible The same may be said o.
fruit, very little of which found its
way to the shops and markets. Grow
ers held it up. and disposed OF it a
high prices to those who cared to come
and fetch it. Potatoes are still being
dealt out in quantities of two or threS
pounds weekly.
Most of the schools have been close,
to allow the children to work in tho
fields, where they are joined by stu
dents from the colleges an duniversi
ties. The heavier work is done almost
entirely by women, but it is greatly
hampered by lack of machines ano
draught animals. Large numbers OF
cows are being used instead of horse
and oxen.

OKLAHOMANS WANT
GORE TO GET OUT

A survey of more than 200 papers
of Oklahoma. large dailies and small
country weeklies, discloses approx
mately 70 per cent of the voters of
the state, repudiate the anti-adminis-
tration and obstructional stand taken
by Thomas P. Gore, the blind senator
from Oklahoma, now serving his sec
ond term. This comment was brought
out during the past week by the send
ing of more than twenty kilograms
from various parts of the state, de-
handing the resignation of the junior
senator.
Flight or get out" is the sentiment
that has been conveyed. OF 225 Ok
lahoma papers examined by the Daily
Oklahoman, 112 are openly criticiz-
ing the senator, los either carry no
editorials or avoid discussion of the
subject and only five make an effort
to apologize for his course. None of
them is supporting him.
Many of his staunchest supporters,
both in the political and newspaper
arena, have joined the ranks of his
critics, the survey discloses.
The charge made is in one paper
that Senator Cores attitude on the
draft, which he opposed, was directly
responsible for the uprising among
tenant farmers and the more or less
ignorant working classes, early in
August.

AT LAST! STRAINS OF
AN OLD SONG DRIVE
RAGTIME TUNES AWAY

Many neighbors in many towns
have made many noises to vex the
ears OF the newspaper man. He has
heard the cry of children next door
in the small hours of the night; also
the wall of the neighbOr's cat and the
howl OF the neighbor's dog. He has
heard his neighbor fall down the
stairs and crank a one-lung car with
the muffler gone He has heard the
victrola across the street as it wheel
ed through a one-step and rasped out
a march. All the sounds known to q
German grand opera or an Irish wake
or a .keg party or a congress of the
Daughters of the Revolution hath he
known.
But the worst of all was when the
ragtime picker picked the notes of
the piano like kernels of corn and cast
them forth to make the ordinary NOR
tai want to murder the man that in
vented the instrument.
In every neighborhood that the
newspaper man has ever known were
two or three pianos devoted exclu-
sively to the ragtime art. The daugh'
ter of the house generally commits
the crime Pickety-pick. blimity-
blim. hickelty-hick, plunkety-plunkety-
PUNK, And then, ta-ta-tumty-tumty-
tum, ting aling-ty-ting. And her bean
comes, and her friend and her friends
beau, and then the angels of compass
sion weep while they peck and poke
and pick and prod the long suffering
piano.
IT'S a noble instrument. the piano,
and it is a shame to make it chatter
the strange and ungodly dialect Of
ragtime AS well make king do the
foxtrot in his robes of state.
But to get to the point of the story.
The newspaper man has tried to make
il clear that he does not love ragtime
and that, as a punishment for his sins.
he has always had to live, both in the
same house with il and next door TO
its clack-ity-woop,s i-ty-zap.
Well. the other day one of the news

no. With sad misgivings did the
newspaper man watch the husky dray-
men lug the instrument up the steps
to its new abode that jutted so close
to his premises. But there is always
balm in Gilead for the weary; always
trere is a turning to the lane Of sor-
row if enc will, only persevere to the
end. Never ragtime-riggety-r
