IFfEARY VS. COOK
[ ov. Brown of Georgia Reviews the Claim

GIVES COOK THE HONOR

Of Being the First Discoverer of the
North Pole.?Ho Says If Cook's
Story Is a Cold Brick, Peary's Is

Fnrfs.
Gov. Joseph M. Thrown of Georgia
gave out recently an Interview rc8
garding the Cook-Peary coiitroversarv
8 in which the executive goes into de9
talil as to his position on -the ques8
lion. Here is what the Governor
lias to say about Cook and Peary's
K trip:
S 'Dr. Cook came upon the scene
I some months ago with the statement
m that he had been to the North Pole.
L. He described in detail the incidents
of his expedition, the voyage to the
E regions of ice, his journeys over the
1 land, his entry upon the sea of ice,
a the fantastic shapes the snow assurnI
-ed, the rifts which forced him to
| make lengthy detours to go around
| them, the novel hues of the ice, in
S ,1 1 J 1 1 ... K
E KUllie piciues ua/iZ-niig J'CIIU", ill uuitiD
! blue, these being before unheard of
|j eharacterists of Artie scenery, and
L, finally his arrival at the region of
m the Pole, where he found that, instead
of land, there was a frozen
ocean. And there, on the top of the
world he saw the sun go around in
an elliptic orbit instead of setting.
Peary come out of the Arctic
regions only a few days later and
wires to us that Cook is a liar, and
that he has handed the public a
gold brick.
True, he had not read Cook's narrative,
he had not had Cook under
daily surveillance; but it was necessary
to his own claim to the discoverf
of the North Pole that Cook
Bhould be a liar, and so a liar Cook
was, according to Peary.
'Mr. eary comes home as fa?L us
the Roosevelt can steam and then,
after a few more choice remarks to
the effect that Cook is a liar and
faker, and has handed us a gold
brick, he gives us an epitome of his
own trip to the North Pole, and lo!
it is simply a replica of Cook's
story?the same snow, the same rifts
in the ice, the same colored ice, the
same frozen ocean, the same elliptic
course for the sun. At least this is
'how the press quoted Mr. Peary.
But there were some details of
his journey wherein 'Mr. Peary sang ,
a lounder note than we had heard
from Cook. <
Fir instance, Cook had asserted <
that on one day he, with his Esqui- t
maux and dogs, travelled twenty- r
six miles over the frozen ocean. 1
iPeary ridicule this as being impos- r
Bible, and then to prove that Cook 0
coma noi nave none so assurieu mai v
on more than one day he had trav- (]
ellled upwards of forty miles per t
day over the frozen ocean. f
. He declared that he had sounded g
the ocean at the Pole to a depth of v
9,000 feet. Of course, there was a j
convenient hole in the thick ice for his
sounding line to slide through b
to reach the water, and then possibly,
the water must have helped him a
and his negro and Esquimaux to t<
sustain the weights of nearly two a
miles of sounding line with the sin- s
ker as they let it down?this same f;
line which his dogs had made such c
speed in dragging over the ice with e
all his other materials and food. si
iNtow, I pause to ask these quos- c
tions: 'If Cook did not go to the jj
North Pole, or to the same region ?j
Peary penetrated and which his narrative
describes almost exact.iy as ti
Peary's later published narrative d
does what becomes of him after he fl
parted from his comrades and with <i
his Esquimaux went northward? Did u
V* r**/x r% f Atir i l/\t> o n /I 1\ n H rl o C? VW\ Xtf .1
ji17 piu il icn iiiiico ujhi ??\i .? (j
house and stay there for months? n
If so it is strange that his presence <i
was not a matter or note. Ami vvhat ^
object could lie have had in staying
there? To keep going northward, o
supplied as he was with provisions, o
warm clothing, dogs, sleds and help- j?
ers, etc., was such a procedure as a
would seem natural. Hiding in a p
snow house for months was an Jm- c
probable occurrance. And how sep- ,,
orated by long distances, could he q
read Peary's mind and anticipate nim c
by writing Peary's story before ()
Peary himself wrote it?
But the real per i 1 to Peary is \:
that, in order to destroy the value of c
Cook's story of the journey to the
Pole, he must destroy the value of t]
his own like story. /
(With the same sword with which ii
Rtriktcs down Cook he must CO- e
ordinately commit hari-kari, ofr, ihf
two stories being1 Hie same, the kill- t
ing of one destroys the other. In h
other words, tlie two stories, like n
tho Siamese twins, must live togeth- jer
or die together. Peary can as h
reasonably assert 'that of the above r
famous twins Chang was a China- n
man and Eng was was an English- a
man as he can assert that Cook's I
story is false' and his own is true, e
As the case stands, he, in effect, asks I
us to believe 2 and 3 when add- r<
ed by Cook make 0, but when added 'a;
DEFENDS FRANKLIN
BONAPARTE FIBES BRIEF FOR <
THE MUllDEREH.
In Which He Speaks of the Danger
of the Apprehension of Negroes
in the South.
i&ach McGhee, in his letter to The
State, says Charles J. Bonaparte,
formior attorney general in the Roosevelt
cabinet, under whose direction
nnnnl/1/.nnKln ? l" o IMTO )l
^UllOlUUfai^iU VJL a 11 ui t IVIt ?? i*M *
about "peonage in the South," has
now taken up the case of Pink
Franklin, the negro who was con
vie ted in Orangeburg for murdering
Mr. H. E. Valentine, the eou-Uaole
who went to arrest him for a breach
of an agricultural contract, near
Cope.
Mr. Bontaparte, as attorney for
Franklin, Tuesday tiled a brief in the
United States supreme court at
Washington, setting forth grounds
of appeal, giving the decision of the
South Carolina supreme court, which
affirmed the sentence of the circuit
court, sitting at Orangeburg He declares
that the South Carolina law
making it a misdemeanor for a man
who has a contract to work on shares
or for wages to leave his employer's
when he is in debt to that employer
is unconstitutional, being a violation
of the 13th and 14th amendments
to the federal constitution.
It is claimed that the State law is
in conflict with the federal statute
forbidding peonage, and hence void.
Fink Franklin was employed by Mr.
J. D. Thomas, a farmer in that
countv, under contract for the year
1907. In May he left, being in debt
to Mr. Thomas, who had a warrant
sworn out for him by Magistrate J. I.
Valentine. Magistrate Valentine put
the warrant into the hands of his
brother, 'M.r. H. E. Valentine, who
went to the negro's house on the
place of Mr. H. S. Spires, another
farmer, to execute it. The negro
resisted, several shots were fired,
both the negro s.nd his wife being
shot and Mr. Valentine being killed.
Franklin was convicted of murder.
The claim is made in Mr. Ronapante's
brief that the South Caro
lina law is invalid, the warrant was
illegal and the negro had a right to
resist arrest, and hence he killed Mr.
Valentine in self defense. The case
will come up in two or three weeks 1
for argument. At the time Bonaparte 1
retired from the office of attorney (
general there was some talk in Wash- (
ington of his going somewhere to (
study law. ;
This case has been long drawn 1
:>ut, but it will finally end in the
?xecution of Franklin, who was guilty
of an uncalled for murder and
ichly deserves the fate that awaits \
lim. The case, no doubt, is well
emem bored by most of our readers,
ind its course has been watched
vith interest, but it will soon be
lecided, and the law will be allowed 11
o take its course. Franklin had a
air trial and was lawfully uonvicted. "
ihould he escape the gallows it "
rould be a decided miscarriage of
us-tice. 91

Therefore, even if Cook were to
dm it that his story of his journey,,
o the Pole was false we could not w
ccept it as being falso- unless Peary "
hould admit that his like story was cc
alse, or unless by 'ether testimony *i
look's story be proven fale, in which
vent, as I have contended Peary's al
Lory instantly falls with Cook's. If ,<'1

Yet, when Commander Peary heard

and presto! his identical story
s proven true and he is acc'aimed n
s the discoverer and poor Cook is
randed as a fakir. Medals are vot<1

hanks of tlie American people for <l

ot, in fact, invposible story of his
n

I had Ivelieved that both Cook
nd Peary had reached the Pole, but
confess that Mr. Macon lias shak- m

KILLED IN WRECK
CONDUCTOR AM) ENGINEER DIE
IN COLLISION.
The Trains Went Together on a
Sharp Curve and the dctims Had
No Chance to Escape.
The Augusta Chronicle says one of
the most serious collisions in the
history of the Georgia railroad occurred
Thursday morning at about
threeo'clock city time, at a short
distance above Berzella. The conductor
and engineer of one of the
trains were killed and the fireman of
the same crew is not expected to
live through the day. Out of a total
of ten members of t'he two crews,
there were only three who were not
injured.

post, which is just west ?f Berzella
with east bound exti a freight No.
62 in charge of Engineer E. H. Johnson
and Conductor Charles Fitzgerald.
Conductor Fiztgerald was riding
on the engine with his engineer at
the time of the collision and he was
instamtly killed. The two trains were
running at about the same rate
of speed and it is estimated that they
were making about 35 miles per
hour. The two trains completely
telescoped each other, and about a
dozen freight cars were reduced to
kindling splinters. The general merchandise
in the cara was scattered all
over the ground for some distance.
The accident was on a curve and
an ascending grade; also an embankment.
The heavy loaded outgoing
train was given a severe blow by the
lighter extra coming east.
WJiile the cause of the accident is
not given out at the headquarters of
the Georgia railroad, still it is admitted
that the orders were misunderstood
and that inasmuch as both
of the head men in charge of one
of t'he trains was dead, that an exhaustive
investigations would have
to be held to see> just where the
blame would have . to be laid.
It is known that the west bound
freight was due to stop at Berzella
to let extra No. 6 2 pass, but as the
extra train did not reach the point
on the schedule time the crew of the
westbound freight decided to make
Harlem if ixjssibl'e. The collision
was just about a mile west of Berzella..
Of the ten men on the two crews
the only persons not injured were
Conductor McCullum and the two
flagmen. These men were on the
rear of the trains and of course did
not get in any of the smashed up
part of the train.
PLUNGES INTO TRESTLE.

Train Burned and Two Tramps Said <

A northbound Seaboard freight (
train, consisting of twenty-two cars,
plunged into a burning trestle over
Cononaca creek about six miles above
Greenwood at one o'clock Thursday
morning. The entire trian was conc
sinned by fire. It is indeed a miracle
how all of the train crew escap
ed instant death. The following were j
injured: C. H. Hinnant, engineer,
Colninhia; Fireman Kemp, Georgia; .
Conductor Carroll and a brake-man. ,
All of the wounded men were hur- .
ied to a hospital in Chester. It is .
said that two tramps were burned
in the iire. Barmore Mayes, who
runs a brick yard near where the .
kvreck occurred endeavored to ex ting- f
iiish the burning trestle but without
ivail. HV then sent several negroes .
with lanterns to flag the freight, but
he engineer failed to see the d*wiger

unately arrived a few minutes after
the train had left.

NOT IN THE CASE
NEGKO LrAWYJKKS OBJECT TO
BONAPARTE'S
?
Interference in the Matter of Pink
Franklin's Appeal to the Supreme
Court.
In a statement issued Wednesday
from (Manning- by John Adams, one
of the negro attorneys in the Pink
Franklin case, it is denied that ExAttorney
General Boanaparte of the
United States has aided in the preparation
of thie case. The statement
has not been signed or approved by
Jacob Moorer of Orangeburg, Adams'
associate counsel. The following
is the statement that was given out
as the result of the story carried by
the Associated Press with regard to
the Franklin case.
"From newspaper reports for the
past month it would appear to the
public that the Franklin case has
been turned ovter to ex-Attorney General
Bonaparte. Such an impression
is an injustice to the two colored
lawyers who have run the case for
the last three years and should be
corrected.
"The only lawyers of authority In
this case are John Adams and Jacob
Moorer, and absolutely all the work
done In the case up to this time has
been accomplished by the-in. The
brief filed by Mr. Bonaparte in the
case has not been considered nor seen
by Franklin's lawyers.
From what I can glean from tho
papers the race question is made a
part of Mr. Bonaparte's brief and
this will by no means be allowed in
the case. We have not carried this
case to the supreme court as a n?^
gro case but as that of a citizen of
South Carolina.
"The brief that has been filed by
John Adams and Jacob Moorer is a
discussion of cold principles of law
and in no man rue r seeks sympathy
because Franklin is a negro. The
law is wrong and we say so.
"The premature announcement and
employment of Mr. Bonaparte is the
work of a few over hot-headed negroes
of Philadelphia who have absolutely
no authority to take any
step in the work.
"If the Franklin case works any
credit to the defendant, Franklin,
and the negro race it will be the
work of two negro lawyers, John
Adams and Jacob Moorer. If Mr.
Bonaparte appears in the case it will
be done after a thorough agreement
with the original lawyers and up to
this time we haw? not agreed to anything."

Trend of Public Feeling Seems to be
Against the Republicans.
THE DEMOCRATS ON TOP
Result of City Elections in Illinois,
Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Connecticut
and Missouri Indicate a Strong
Feeling Against the Republican in
Favor of the Democrats.
Returns from forty of the fifty
cities of the first class in Oklahoma
which held election Tuesday indicate
large Democratic gains. With
possibly six exceptions, the Republicans
either lost control of city councils
or were heavier losers than in
former years.
At Hartford, Conn.,, for the first
time in six years the Democrats elected
a mayor when their candidate defeated
the Republican candidate, who
was up for reelection by a majority
of 3GO. The remainder of the Republican
ticket was elected by small
' majorities.
The Democrats won a sweeping
victory In Chicago. They gained a.
majority In the city council for the
first time in several years. Of the

Social Democrats led by EniH Sledel,
candidate for mayor, swept Milwaukee
in the municipal election by
approximately 8,000 votes, the largest
plurality of any party in any
similar contest in the history of the
city.
At. Jefferson City, Mo., the Democrats
elected four out of five couneilmen
with a tie vote for the fifth.
They also carried Governor Ilardley'a

PREACHER ISSUES STATEMENT.
Says the Pope Is the Hitter Foe of
Freedom.
Rev. B. M. Tipple, pastor of the
American Methodist church in Rome,
after being received by Mr. Roosevelt,
issued a statement expressing
the greatest satisfaction that the exPresident
did not have an audience
with the Pope.
"While the work of Methodism in
Rome," says the statement, "started
the rumpus, it is no longer Methodism
or any other ism, but the great
principle of toleration. Mr. Roosevelt
has struck a blow for twentieth
century Christianity."
'"idie representatives of two great
Republics have been the ones to put
Lhe Vatican where it belongs. President
Lou bet refused to accede to
Vatican conditions, and now Mr.
Fairbanks and Mr. Roosevelt come to
naintain the same dignity and indejendance
of American manhood in
he face of Vatican tyranny.

Republican principles. This is a biter
dose for patriotic Catholics in
Ymerica to swallow. I wonder how
nany doses of this sort they will
ake before they revolt? is Catholicism
in America to be American or
tomish, if Romish, then every pariotic
American should rise to crush
t, for Roman Catholicism is the un:ompromising
foe of freedom.
"After the Fairbanks episode the
Methodists never dreamed that the
/aticnn would commit a similar blunler
with Mr. Roosr velt. That it has

prevailing there is the same yeserday,
today and forever. The Vatcan
is the Vatican. The world advances,
but the Vatican never.

how it is that the Roman

Spain and Austria." 2
