QUICK SNAP SHOTS AT
HAPPENINGS THROUGH
THE STATE AND NATION
The Crawley Gang is Taken
By One Lone Man
The Crawleys Now in Atlanta Jail.
Pneumonia Serum Free at Fort Me-
Pherson.- BY One Vote The Senate
Defeats Woman Suffrage.

The Crawley gang of mountain OUT
laws, which the army made futile
drive to capture some weeks ago
has been taken alive by one deputy,
who, single handed, spent days on the
trail. This gang was captured in the
mountains of Tennessee, and consists
of George and Decatur Crawley and
Blaine Stewart who are now in the
Jail in Atlanta charged with the muir
der of Deputy Dixon some time ago.
General Hospital No. 6 at Fort
Mcpherson announces that free ser
UNI would be sent anywhere in the
state, for vaccination to prevent pneu-
monia and in localities where suf-
ficient number apply for it, an officer
will be sent to administer the serum
free of charge. 1t is stated that
among sixty thousand cases receiving
the serum not a single death has oc-
Cured from pneumonia. You may
be vaccinated by applying in person
at the office at Fort Mcpherson.
On Monday the United States Sem
ate put woman suffrage in the hole
for this congress by defeating the

there being 55 votes for and 29
against it, and two thirds vote being
necessary to carry. Georgia had two
senators there but they were both
of the 20 against the amendment. In
each congress it has gained strength
and it will undoubtedly pass the next
session.
Francis J. Heney, before the SEN
ate investigating committee, charged
that while he was conducting the pro-
secution of the trade commission
against the meat packers combine,
the attorney of the packers made an
offer of employment to him which
amounted to direct attempt to bride.
The packers lawyer wired his denial
stating that Heney was clumsy
liar" The packers continue to send
out advance information as to what
they expect to testify before the COM
mittee, which may prove effective
but certainly is an unusual practice.
Senator Hoke Smith was success
full in defeating an amendment pro-
viding that none of the two hum
dred million dollars for roads during
the next three years, could go to a
state using convicts on the roads.
This amendment would have depriv-
ed Georgia of her share of the fund,
about seven millions in the three
years.
The following New York dispatch
indicates that at least some of the
labor leaders in this country are try
ing to lead their forces on dangerous
ground. 1t is in the nature of a
threat against the peace and order of
the whole people and the government.
We cannot well see how the "beer
and light wines" mentioned in the last
paragraph can be called "non-intoxi-
eating" if we have the slightest re-
gard for the truth. The gentleman's
name mentioned in the dispatch
sounds Every German" to us. Here
is the threat:
Announcement that all the central
labor unions of the country will be
asked by the central federated union
in New York to vote on the question
of a nationwide "no beer, no work"
strike on July 1, was/made here to-
night by Ernest Bohm, secretary of
the New York union, who has asked
all labor organizations in this state

however, that plans for the threaten
