Sergt. Cole Tells
OF The Miracle Of
Frost ~ Years Ago

WELL" said Sergt. T. J. Cole, turn
key at the Memphis police station,
Saturday, 'the weather today Is much
different from what it was on this
date AZ years ago."
How so?" asked q listener.
"On the 2Sd of October. 1878. the
first yellow fever plague was eat-
ing out the population Of Memphis.
Those were terrible days. l lived on
the old Cole farm near CordoVa, and
had just had an offer OF q position
in Golden Lake, Ark, with the D. w.
Rhodes company. There was no
fever across the river, but on the
Tennessee side it was killing people
by the thousands. They were tax.
ing them to burial in huge wagon
loads. The streets were full OF the
dead and the dying. Nervous ten.
sion was at high pitch. Everyone
who could find o conveyance was
leaving Memphis like a city doomed.
As went from Cordova to Golden
Lake, crossing the river at Richard
sons Ferry, my buggy passed many
refugees bound for the same point.
Frost was the only thing that would

phis was praying for il. didn't

last night on the Tennessee side.
there came, as IL In answer 70 the
prayers, the biggest. heaviest frost
have ever seen. l have never since
seen another quite as heavy. or
course it stopped the ravages of the
fever, but the most noticeable thing
on the morning of the oath was the
cessation of the nervous strain. 1t
was distinctly apparent in the at
mosphere. 1t was as if something
had broken, and the world was grad
ually returning to it's normal state.
I'm connection with this plague,
one of the most remarkable things was
the fact that the negroes did not get
the fever. We sent them to town
for our provisions and with our pro-
duce, and they came and went with
the utmost freedom. / don't believe
one of them took the fever. How
ever four years later the tables were
turned. More negroes than whites
took the fever. 1t was on the morn
ing of the Gath that the new river
steamer, which had been tied up by
the plague, cast off her mornings
and made her maiden voyage. She
was the Osceola Bell, in charge of
Capt. Andrews. And a week after
the frost, things were almost nor
mal-except. of course, for the many
graves that scattered the country

GOMPERS DEFENDS
LEAGUE COVENANT.
Saws Provisions Constitute
Laoor's "Bil of Rights
Through World.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Replyins
to a question from William MiChaels,
Tulsa, Okla, labor leader, as to what
effect the league of nations as ad-
Vocatcd by the American Federation
of Labor would have upon the labor
ing people of this country, Samuel
Gompers, president of the federation,
telegraphed that the labor provisions
of the covenant constitute laDors
bill of rights" and is a document
for humanity"
After pointing out that the fedora
ton atits 1919 convention had unant-
mously voted an Endorsement of the
league and quoting in full the pre-
amble and nine points of the COW
enant's labor section, Mr.. Gompers
urged American workers to support
the league because of its provisions
would confer lasting benefits upon
the wage earners of the world and
is a great international effort to
forward those measures that make
for the improvement of the stand
ards and health of the people in all
signatory nations"
Mr.. Gompers' statement was sup
plemented by statement from the
federationB nonpartisan political
campaign committee, expressing
what was termed the viewpoint of
labor. All opponents of the league,
the statement declared. could be
classed either as extreme reaction
aries or extreme radicals"
The former it said, opposed the
league because the covenant provides
the best check on reaction" while
radicals take the ground that il
means a "stiffening against change"
This position Of the radicals the
statement asserted, is a "viCiusly
false one" as the league Facilitates
and encourages evolutionary develops
ment and progress" and provides the
"best possible check against turbu.
Ient and unhealthy upheAvsl Of de.
