i'UUlV FIRST REAL FREEZE ? | I ?? j Pipes in Houm* Cium ApprdtM* < iion<?Sleet and Snow-- j The first real freeze of the^winter j has caused much worry and appre- d hension among housekeepers con- I cerning hot water tanks and piping. 1 The pijv-s freeze even ' thejugh the < water in most instances is cut off, I the complaint being that the water 1 conduits are placed too near the sur- I face. In many of the houses of the a city the hot water tank is connected i with the kitchen stove and is a I a source ol danger 11 nanaiea imyi-vp erly. C. P. Townsend, superintendent of the city water and electric system, said this- morning that the danger came from the accumulation of steam in the tank, caused by the non circulation of water through the tank: If both the inlet and outlet pipes are frozen there is danger but if one of them is open there is no danger. A small fire in the store for a short time will not generate enough steam to cause danger even if both pipes be frozen Mr. Townsend said. The snow and sleet fell yesterday afternoon and last night, the ground being covered this morning. The Ford engines ran at a rate of forty miles an hour but the wheels could only make about fdur early this morning, the wheels spinning in the self-same spot. Only one kitchen stove accident, due to the cold, has been reported. A tank exploded in the home of Mr. S. A. McCuen Thursday morning doing some damage to household goods and almost tearing the kitcher. loose from the house, but Mrs. McCuen who was in the room escaped injury. The ex plosion was caused by the genera tion of steam in the tank. This morning the sun seemed to be in a conspiracy to prevent the melting of the sheet of bone break ing snow and ice. but about noor. the I c t k n r y a f b e g n c y V n n e F n u ti u tl 1< 1( n a o h t; h v, h temperature climbed up a bit and soon reduced the slippery' surface to slush.

It will be recalled that at one tim le strikers and those whom they lal r 'attacked were fellow-workers. Th ? B. and A. found iteelf unalble t ay the prevailing wages and contir e operations. Any employee wh id not wish to accept a reduction i ages, it is asserted, had a perfec ght to quit his employment. He ha le right to go elsewhere and engag i productive industry. "But the men who . remained a ork, or outsiders who may hav >me in to take the place of th rikers had an equal right to accep le wages offered then and thus t im a living," declares Chas ayne, weJl known Macon editoi The strikers had not the slightes aim on the railroad. The idea tha jmetoody was taking 'their' jabs wa total miscomprehension. They ha o jobs because they had voluntaril iven them up. The A. B. and ./ ailroad had given a means of livel: ood to practically 1,000 persons a itzgerald for many years, but if th mployees chose to quit, there was n jason in la-w or morals, why the lould not go their Way. But it wa ti inevitable corollary that the me ho took their places were entitle > the chance to work and to fu rotection while they worfced." Mr Bayne refers to the repeate Torts to wreck railroad trains an > terrorize the employees of th >ad and then goes on to say: "It is high time for labor to ge 5 proper orientation on this ques on. The organization of labor an )llective baigaining are natura ghts which no one will undertak > dispute, but the eternal trut! .list be recognized once and for all iat every other man has an equa ght to work, and that when vio nee is used to interfere with him te strong arm of the law will ste; , as now, and make the punishmen ; the crime. The Macon editor points out tha iere is still a further lesson in th mous fact that the strike does no iy "Abstract rights cannot alter th ict that almost without exception proves to be a mistake," says M ayne. "The former employees o ie A. B. and A.

It is recalled in Abbe ville that the Georgia Company ^b tained control of these sites abou 1915 or 1916, the idea being, to fur nish power to run an electric rail road that it proposed to build fron Atlanta to Anderson. After much o: the right of way had been acquire* and soma capital attracted, the pro ject fell through with the coming o: the war.

The ac tion of the national, body in seatinj NeWberry in the senate, despit< Ford's claims, is taken to mean tha Ford will have to meet much person al opposition before he.can carry ou his great plans. The letter written by Mr Fridy ii as follows: "We have been reading newspape: accounts of your proposed purchas< of Musle Shoals in Alabama and wi fully realize what your purchas< would mean to the south, but ii particular to Alabama. Now if yoi are not successful in the purchasi of Muscle Shoals or if you are sue cessful we will be glad to get you in terested in the purchase and develop ment of falls, on the Savannah rivei between Abbeville County, Soutl Carolina and Elbert County, Geor fit. "According to a recent survej this river shows a seventy-five fool fall with from fifty thousand to om hundred thousand (50,000 to 100 000) horse power development These falls are miles in length, all of which offer a wonderful projed for development along the same lines as your proposition at Muscle Shoals.
