IS ill CUT; FRANK WILL LIVE L3FELL0W PRISONER CUTS DEEP -HASH BUT FRANK MAY ' SURVIVE. i ISHledgeville, July 18.? Leo. M. "SFTazik, whose throat was cut by WilTSSasra Creen, another life-term con"codfiu late last night, is declared' by \gSfccrcsicians at the State Prison Farm to be Dractically, out of dan t s&et of death, though he is exceeding- 1 FJQy "weak from loss of blood. Green, his asaifant, is chained in . ? in solitary confinement. He J " raw s*ys he is sorry he did it, but iSist 'he thodght he was doing right. Frank's wound starts at the - ,b?c)^ ?he *eck and extends about fofa? ? aisdhes around the left ?ide of the ^agnilaT vein. The physicians say | "42* jugular vein was slightly punc; Saraed, but not sufficiently to likely '<ehh3b death. Frank, soon after he was cut, was xrwmoved to the hospital ward, immecSazely adjoining the cell room, wfrere he is said to be resting easily, j ffis -wife, who was a visitor at the | .'Season yesterday, is at his bedside ' ?zsnastantly. The prison officials and a&CF^ci&ns are doing all that can be ( sSosue to save the famous prisoner's tfsfc. j - But for first aid rendered by two :fie2km-convicts, Dr. J. W. McNaughamd Dr. L. M. Harrison, who Ewmd up his wound and stopped the ISIegw of blood, Frank would have bled fla> death before*Dr. C. B. Compton, official prison physician, reached "tdbe -prison farm from his home in ' tie city. He was at Frank's bedside , vreftin 30 minutes after Creen made' /fcsE stack. 'Warden smitn notinea 1 iWrm in ten . minutes, but it took him USffimare to make the trip out. vCrpra, who was sent up for life 'Srtan Muscogee County, is said to ' Stave slain eight men all told. He l&aiE been looked upon by prison attaches as a desperate criminal. This, l&cmever, is the first time he has seriou6 trouble during his confinement here. Frank, Creen, McNaughton, Harri-'33Bx and a large number of other life 2du3 long-term convicts last night at! o'clock, following supper, were1 j Socked in the main cell room as usu=aL , This room is 75 feet long and -SLi atr more feet wide. Frank's cot1 -vara the third from on* end, while I djweii occupied one at the opposite' -flia FAAm - UU VUV A WUli ' About 11 o'clock Creen arose and .^aaked permission of a guard on duty SO to tfie lava,tory adjoining th? "Sbmaikroom. This w^s granted. Creeri, 'EaeOead, slipped qv^r to Frank's cot .-Tsni slashed him in the back of th4 aantk as Frank lay sysleep with his r>taark lo his assailant. ft is screams, was awakened by the stab, atttaacted the attention of the guards ascil other convicts. The guards oocnle a hasty investigation, summon<arf Drs. McNaughton and Harrison , mi Frank,notified Warden Smith, jsmd .placed Creen in Irons. The fiaSxoom and entire prison were stirr??? *with the excitement, but the ^Sangiluie of the place kept down any qpess&k outbreak or other serious ^lemnaetration. daeen, though it is evident that he planned the assault, concealed 'tus plans carefully. Guards say - itHnat he gave absolutely no intimai Ala? of feeling " against his fellow * ^^sDBBcner. SLogs were killed on the State ; Sf arac Saturday. Creen was among Catchers. He worked at this >Ssjsk dU day, and it is believed man aged to hide the knife he was using . ?* 'his clothes and thus smuggled it .'oafi? his cell. Creen waited until he was? sure fiskal the vast prison had settled down >K? asleep. Convicts have their sup.ipex 6 o'clock. They are usually in their bunks and sleeping a few minutes after. Jl was about 11 o'clock, however, .'befoue Creen decided that the time war ripe for his deed. Then he went about his work in a manner to insure carrying out his deadly purtpose) He is a stronger man physicafiy than Frank, but he took no I -trances of resistance, Frank being ^cut as he slept. % The first slash wasn't fatal and IFrank had an opportunity to give < J 4 the tflarm. The guards were taken 1 ' completely by surprise, but when I tibey centered Creen made no attempt1 t.at resistance and made no effort to ' c conceal his crime. . He surrendered the knife and r.^'aiaity awaited the arrival of the ^Taras-den. Warden Smith was on the scene ' iic a :fecw minutes and immediately interrogated Creen. As far as he < vttold find out, there had been no -rtmcerted plot against Frank on the ;^9a4i of the prisoners. It was Creen asaSttne who planned the deed and he t had planned to do it himself and by himself. He would make no other explanation -except that he thought he had done the right thing. 4 Creen has been in the prison for a little more than two years. An examination of Frank's wounds at the hospital showed that while the jugular vein was cut neither the spinal cord nor the windpipe was injured and the hurts are therefore not necessarily fatal. Frank-i physical condition is against him. >Iever robust of build, the terrible nervous strain he suffered through the weeks he waited in the shadow o# the gallows told on him. The sudden snap in the tension, caused by Governor Slaton's eleventh hour order of commutation and the midnight ride through the country to the farm from the Atlanta Tower have all tended to make Fra^ik a nervos wreck. work here has been of a character to which he is utterly unused. His whole manhood having been spent in office work, the sudden transition to hard farm labor with coarse prison fare has not been con ductive to any quick recovery. Frank has been given absolutely no favors by the prison authorities. Like all other prisoners, he is allowed to have visitors at certain fixed hours each week, and it was to take advantage of this opportunity that Mrs. Frank left Atlanta Friday night that she might see her husband on Saturday, the regularly appointed day for visitors. A WINTER GARDEN. Anderson Intelligencer. The following article is very interesting to the lovers of good winter gardens. Now is the time to plan your winter gardens. About the 15th or 20th of July you may carefully select your winter plant, lime it well, sub soil about 12 inches. Lay off 1-3 of it in rows. 2 1-3 feet apart, using plenty of leaf mold and well rotted compact as fertilizer. f- Plant Irish potatoes on this 1-3 of plat, using the small potatoes left from the spring crop ifyo u have them. If not, plant the Lookout Moutain potato, for autumn use. This- crop can be left in the ground and used during the entire ?vinter. There is always a rdady sal^ for fresh Irish potatoes in fall and winter. About the midle of August 1-6 of the plat #nay be planted in Rutabaga turnips, 1-6 in the egg. turriipjwhich comes off ver^ early, leaving the same territory to be planted in lettuce the first of November. The remainder 1-3 of plat may be planted in the White Pearl onion which will bft ready, for market. the first of February, if the sets are 2Vj' A . j i.t. a l _J J? . m ri pianiea tne nrst or miaaie 01 September. By planting them this early in the fall they bring a fancy price in the market, coming on so early in the succeeding year. Then too, the ^TOUnd will be available in March for planting pimentos or some other product. ' Orisons require very frequent cultivation until the bulb is about two inches in diameter, then the soil should be drawn away from the bulb, leaving it exposed above ground, from which, through the thread roots it develops very rapidly. Winter gardens should be planted through July, August, and ' September. To increase variety of production on the plat the Irish potatoes may be gathered and spread in a house for keeping during the winter, leaving the space they, occupy on the plat to be planted in' beets the first of November. These yield an abundant harvest for February and March market. They, too, require frequent cultivation. IN MEMORY* OF HANNAH R SUTHERLAND On Wednesday moaning, June 23, 1915, our home was made sad and lonely when the angel of death came into it and laid its icy hands upon our angel baby, whose spirit left us and flew away to the One who gave to dwell in the land of peace and rest, safe in the arms of Jesus. She had been a dear little ' treasure in our home for almost twelve months. It was so hard for us to give her up, but of course we know that God's will is best and he needed her in his home on high and we trust in God to loo/I no in fVia a^ li^A or\ ttro /ion i^au uo lit btic pa tti vi 111c ov TT C van some day meet our dear baby where parting is no more. Another little lamb has gone To dwell with Him who gave, Another little darling babe Is sheltered in the grave. God needed one more angel child, Amidst hie shining land, And so he bent with loving smile, And clasped our darling's hand. And yet our arme are empty, Oh to hold Her face against our bosom as of \ old, To clasp her close and feel the tender bliss, Of her warm nestling touch and baby kiss, And yet. dear Lord, we know thy will is best for us, So help us to trust Thee, as our baby trusted us.

Well, the fault was not entirely ours. We : could not tell of the trip without giving all the particulars, and this we , thought best not to do for fear the coachman at the Vanderbilt mansion might sue us for libel. But as l !the gentlemen insist on being noiticed, we had as well admit that the ' gentlemen named did go to Asheville. On arriving they fell in with Mr. Vanderbilt's old coachman, who was wearing a sawed off silk hat, and as jthey thought he was a swell on that . account, they rode him around in 1 Dick's new car all day and then readily accepted an invitation to spend the night with him. The : keeper of the grounds seeing two ' suspiicious looking characters hanging around the premises closed the gate until the gentlemen could be investigated, which made it Wednesday before they returned home. In the meantime they got out of money, and came near scaring Capt. J. L, Perrin to death. The Captain has never gotten to the point where he can open a telegram without getting nervous. Being the day after the fourth,'he was a little more nervous than usual, when he received a telegram, but it was only this: Biltmore, N. C., 5th. J. L. Perrin: Waterbound, will get home Wednesday.

( / SENDS STRONG NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN (Continued from Page One) tral ports is a contradl^ttion of the principle of free sea? for free diips. Sixth, that the assertion by Great Britain of the principle of holding up all vessels and rejecting' diplomatic intervention is as illegal as the establishment by Germany of a submarine blockade. Seventh, that tlfie principle and practice of re talis.tic it between Germany and Great: Britain: can not defeat any of the. rights ot neutral commerce as defined and enjoyed be, fore the commencement of tie p^, sent war. Officials are now concerned in speculation as tD what tie reply of Great Britain wilt be and what the 1 United States must <?o in certain emergencies to be created by that ' reply. % If Great Britain: stands firm, the ! United States has two remedies. One . is to take up particular cases and assert that^here fias been "a. denial of justice." That is one of the forms of , pursuing a case farther when a country thinks ah injustice has been done by foreign courts. The assertion that there has been a defeat of justice is a diplomatic action which can result in the grave kind of situation. The other recourse of the United States is to treat Great Britain if she concedes nothing, as a nation which will not be bound by international law. It has been frequently stated, under color of local diplomatic sanction, that if Germany would not yield to the United States this country might break off'diplomatic negotiations. There is some reason to assume that Great Britain will make certain concessions. It is known/ that Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, 'the British Ambassador, has reported to his Government the state of public sentiment in the United States, and has suggested that it moderate its policy regarding the treatment of American trade. The-Amabssador left' the method and extent of the/' moderation to his " home Government. In all quarters it is admitted that the note will relieve the tension be, tween this Government and Geri many, for the apparent reason that , it complies very closely with Ger, many's main contention. Gennany held that the issues between this Government and. Germany were so interwoven with those between the United States and Great in that they must be taken ,up together. TIftrtJSriied States "feas'nol conceded this, but, accepting as true the German Ambassador's frequent arguments that Germany will make no further concessions to this country unless Great Britain relaxes the severity of its blockade, it has decidI CkA tA tnUd MikiaA* A vvt WW MIIIO .??]/ Wic 0UUJ CV li W1UII urcflb Britain independently. The effect, however, will be the same in the end. If 1;he United States succeeds in forcing. Great Britain to conduct its blockade according to international j. laMV it has the assurances of Ger many that it, too, Will observe the rules of international lawjn its subIn a jine warfare.

Mr. Lansing has told Great Britain & that her order in council, as it affects and has affected American commerce, is wrong in principle and in fact, and can not be sustained under international law.
