Servia.
Despite the fact that the Servian
court has gone into mourning and
that the Austrian Government has
been officially notified from Belgrade
that dire punishment will be Inflicted
upon any person implicated in the
plot, the anti-Servian hostility grew
in force to-day.
The domestic political eituation
{hreatens to become acute if certain
powerful leaders adhere to their de
termination to put forward little
Prince Maximilar, the 11-year-old
gon of the slain Archduke, as heir to
the throne. The natural heir {s Arch.
duke Charles Francle Ferdinand.

HARDWIGK. AGAIN
LAYS “DEAL 10
GOV, SLATON
Offers Statement of Man Who
Says He Carried to Executive
the Threat of West.
Thomass W. Hardwick gave out a
gtatement Tuesday in which he re
aseerts his charge that Governor Sla
ton appeinted Senator W. 8. West
under threats from West to spend
$75.000 to defeat Slaton unless Slaton
made the appointment, and quotes J.
D.Lochridge, a life insurance man of
Valdosta, as the bearer of the mes
sage from West to the (Governor.
Lockridge llves in South Georgla
and has been connected with the State
Mutua] Life Insurance Company, of
Rome, and other companies.
Mr. Hardwick's card follows:
Reviews Slaton's lop(l{;
“On Monday afternoon vernor
Elaton gave to the public press of the
State a copy of his letter to the edi
tor of The Brunswick News, dated
June 27, In which letter Governor
Slaton stated that the statement that
I had been making on the stump in
Georgla to the effect that Colonel
West had threatened to run for the
Senate in the primary against Gover
nor Slaton and spend $75,000 unless
he was appointed to the Senate, was
untrue. 1 quote from Governor Sla
ton's letter: He says:
““The above story is absolutely un
true. Mr. West sent me no such mes
sage. He not only did not send me
‘the message quoted by Mr. Hardwlck,
but sent me no message that could
remotely suggest such a thing; nor
did he make any statement to me;
nor did any of his friends make any
¢tatement to me, that contained any
threat of any character whatever;
nor did he or any of his friends
convey {o me any undue or discour
teous message, or suggestion of any
kind.’ n
“Agaln Mr. Slaton says: ‘I have
rot replied earller to charges like the
one reported by you for the reason
that in the main they have not been
reduced to writing, and for the fur
ther reason that were I to undertake
to answer every baseless attack of an
frrevelant nature made from the
stump, I would have time for little
clse.’
“Attacks Well Founded.”
“Mr. Slaton is utterly mistaken In
supposing that 1 am making against
him any baseless attacks on any mat.
ter. The attacks 1 have made on
him are all well founded and not
baseless, and they are relevant and
not irrelevant.
“l would not for any considération
knowingly misrepresent the Governor
of Georgia or any one of my competi
tors about anything, and 1 certainly
have not done so in this or any
other matter. The circumstantial ev.
idence that there were strings tied to
the West appointment are convinc
ing and unmistakable, and the proof
that West did send and Slaton did
receive a message of the character T
have been quoting on the stump is
not wanting.
“I made the charge upon the posl
tive statement to me of a gentleman
well and favorably known to thou
sands of Georglans as an honorable
and high-minded and reliable citl
zan of our State. 1 refer to J. D.
Lochridge, who llved many years in
Coffee County, who also resided !n
Valdosta until quite recently, and who
at present lives in Macon.
“As goon as the denial of Governor
Slaton and SBenator West was print
ed, 1 appealed to Mr. Lochridge to
confirm in writing and for public use
the statement he made to wme about
thig matter, and which he assures ma
1s the truth about it. 1 now give to
the public Mr. Lochridge's written
statement:
Tells of West's Threat.
“Replying to your letter of to
day Inquiring of me as to what
knowledge I have about the West
appointment, 1 beg to say:
“l approached Colonel West In
the lobby of the Winecoff Hotel
in Atlanta several days before the
appointment was made. The sub
ject of the appointment of Sen
ator Bacon's sucecssor came up
and I told Colonel West that as
we bhoth lived in the same town
(Valdosta) I hoped he would be
appointed, and Colonel West re
plied that he had been working
for that crowd for thirteen years
and' had gotten nothing, and if
Governor Slaton did not appoint
him he would run for the Senate
and spend $75,000. Colonel West
asked me to see the Governor for
him. I did so, and told him what
Colonel West had told me. Gov
ernor Slaton seemed much wor
ried and troubled, and made no
definite reply.
“I regret to be in such position
as to he drawn into any contro
versy about this matter, but 1
feel, as an honorable and honest
man, that since I told you of the
above transaction and you are
now charged with misrepresent
ing the Governor and Colone!
West, that the truth stould be
known by all men,
“That the above is the truth
about what happened is, T be
lleve, known to many men in
Georgia.”

After 8 Minutes at
Bottom of River
VALDOSTA, June 80— Misses Lena
and Kate Geiger, sisters, of this city,
narrowly escaped drowning in the

Is Arhitration Needed?
“Have we not all one Father?
Hath not one God created us?”
—Mal. 2:10
Harper’'s Weekly of June 27th says:
“If there is a sounder, better informed, more moderate thinker onf
economics than John Bates Clark, Professor of Political Economy at Co
lumbia University, he is not easy to find— 7
“Professor Clark says, in Business America: : ‘
“ ‘Strikebreaking gangs secured temporarily at high prices should
be made impracticable. .
‘A corporation that, when its men are striking for two dollars a
day, will pay to other men four dollars, in order to brezk the back of a
strike, deserves to be forced to give to its original emplbyees the four
dollar rate. It would be entirely equitable to make the amount that is
given to the emergency gang the minimum that must be given to the per:-
manent force.’
" “Professor Clark thinks anarchy really threatens us now. The way
out is through labor unions, but with machinery for publicity and im
partial decisions of rights in labor disputes.” o ’
IS THERE NO NEED FOR ARBITRATION?
The commissary of the strikers at the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills
claims to be feeding more than nine hundred persons daily. :
Mr. Elsas, in stating that there is no need of arbitration, says only
eighty-five workers are out.
The strikers ask for a living wage and that an end be put to the sys
tem of fines in use at the mills. .
They claim that the employment of little children is wrong.
They say—LABORERS HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED SOLELY
BECAUSE THEY HAVE JOINED UNIONS. : ‘
They complain bitterly of the terms of the contract, which gives to
the mills the right to discharge a worker without any notice whatsoever,
but compels the worker to always leave a week’s wage in the possession
of the mill, which wage the worker forfeits, if he or she should leave the
mill without giving a week’s notice. -
And they point to the clauses of this contract, which provide that the
laborer must make good any damage done byhis or her negligence to
the machinery of the mill, but relieve the mill of any obligation to pay
the laborer for time lost regardless of the cause. .
City Warden Thomas Evans said in October, last:
“Many mill owners help a great deal. But there is hardly a fac
tory in the city employing this class of labor that pays the employees
enough for their self-sustenance. Society through the City Govern
ment and private charities has to make up the deficit; that is, the im
mediate deficit. I don’t know who pays the deficit in the lives of the
little children who work in the mills.
. ‘““The profits go into the pockets of the mill owners. I often won
der if the profits are equal to the value of the lives.
“I am not an agitatof, understand. lam merely telling what I
think of the causes of the city’s poverty.
“The trouble is that there are too many people on the ragged edge
of poverty and suffering. With it all, there is work for every charita
ble organization and more. And there always will be, I suppose, as long
as our system of woman and child labor with poor pay is maintained.”
The truth or falsity of the charges made by the striking lahorers
at the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills should be determined, not by Mr.
Elsas, not by the strikers, but by men whose sole object is to learn the
truth and see that impartial justice is done.
Is there no need for arbitration? ’}
