Mr. Percy protests against the theory that the education of the negro should be stopped. He says there Is not enough of the negro In the South and what there Is of him Is not good enough. He u,ys: , "Tlte negro must be educated to the extent necessary to enable him to know shether be Is rightfully or wrongfully treated. Any other Idea Is monstrous end Intolerable because of Its harsh' ness and cruelty. The Industrial de velopment of the South demands that he be educated. "One of the common results of educa tion Is that the negro wishes 1 to sepa rate himself from the Ignorant mass of his own rsce and go where he can be judgpd of as a man on hts Individual | merits; and when he goes he takes just that much of the race problem with him and leaves the problem for us just I that Infinitely small step nearer solu- I tton. To drive the negro from the South I In a mass would mean Industrial revo- I lutlort; to rest the development of the South on the negro alone, means In dustrial paralysis." Mr. Percy then refers to the develop, ment of the West by Immigrants and draws the contrast between the mag nificent commonwealths built by the Im migrants while the people of the South "arc feebly reaching with lame hands" for higher things. "Don’t, drive the negro out,” he said, "but educate him and let him go as he will, taking his troubles to other climes, filling his place with the best Immigrants you can get, but filling It with white mtn, possessing the poten tialities of citizenship, whose children or Child pen's children some day In the future will help us bear the burdens, help us solve tile problems of govern ment. This the negro can never do. I don’t Ignore the Industrial development which has been going on In tho South, but It has not been through or by rea son of the negro: it has been despite him. We have developed just where the White man hns done the work, and just In proportion to the work done by Mm. The South must not be de pendent for Its prosperity on the negro. "There Is no quack nostrum to be used In solving the negro problem. It can and will be worked out, but it will be through time. It must be worked out with Infinite patience, with abso lute honesty and fair dealing: and with that steadfast courage with which Southern men have met every danger with which they have been confronted. ’ UM LEAVE NORTH CAROLINA; MOVING PROPERTY ATLANTA BARACA UNION COMMENDS THE GEORGIAN FOR PROHIBITION STAND heartfelt appreciation of the tan workers, the ninnjr tern] The Atlanta Barnea Baton, composed «f I the lending young men of Atlanta, hns adopted resolutions commending The Geor rinn for Its stand upon the prohibition I question.

Bight nre known ™ bo dead and at least twenty m- Jurni. more or less seriously, as the jeiult of passenger train No. 76 on <h« Buffalo and Allegheny Valley dl- ’won of the Pennsylvania railroad, c r»jhlng | nt0 wrecked freight train *t Kelley, is miles south of Klttanlng. »he dead to far as Identified are: «• B. IRWINE, engineer of the paa- [ **hfer train. A number of the Injured will die. i n.,* ht dead bodies have been taken nt *nd It is reported that there are more In the wreckage. One coach Is lying over on th, banks of the Alleghany river, a mare of splintered wood and tangled Iron. Th, direct cause of the collision was the breaking In two of a freight train. One car of the freight left the track and fell across the passenger track. Before a flagman could be sent back to warn No. 76 that train bore down on the wrecked freight car. Many rail road men were near by at the time, but their shouts of warning were-not heard. In spite of the fact that the officials the Louisville and Nashville railroad have notified Oovernor Glenn, of North Carolina, that they will obey the state law and put the 2 1-4-cent rate Into effect on Au gust 8, there are Indications that the road will abandon the only piece of line It owns In that atate. That Is the general belief of the peo ple of Murphy, N. <j„ the terminal of the Marietta and North Georgia branch of the Louisville and Nashville, ruti ning from Blue Ridge to Murphy. , Oi Thursday'the new 2 1-^-cent paasenger rate goe* Into effect In North Carolina. Within the past few days every freight car, every piece of mo’yable property of every character has, been hauled out of Murphy and from the 12 miles of line In the state of North Car olina. A large crew of men had been at work on a big bridge in the Tarheel state. This work has been abandoned and all of the men, machinery and ma terial have been removed. A gentleman who has just returned from Murphy over this route states that there Is every evidence of the company abandoning Its line from the Georgia line to Murphy. The people of Murphy and along the route are greatly worried over the outlook, and believe that they are to. lose their outlet to thle entire section. If the Marietta and North Georgia docs not operate Into Murphy It bot tles that place up In a large mensure and access to the South must be had around by Asheville. The Louisville an* Nashville owns nnd operates the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern from Marietta to Knox ville. At Blue. Ridge another branch, known as the Marietta nnd North Geor gia, goes'to Murphy. This It miles of line It the only mileage owned In North Carolina by the Louisville and Nash vine. The further fact that this branch Into North Carolina has never paid, strengthens the belief that prepara tions have been made to cease opera tions In North Carolina after Thursday.

Cartersvllle, On., Aug. 6.—At Row land Springs, four miles east of Cnr- teravllle, thirty-eight little tots from the Sheltering Arms Orphanage of At lanta are running riot over the beautl ful meadows and through the pic. turesque woodland* belonging to the estate. Never was there seen a more joyous lot of youngsters than these who are now the guest* of Mrs. Mary D. Free man and M. G. Dobbins, owner* of the Rowland Springs estate, and who so kindly offered this place for an outing for the little ones of the orphanage. The Invitation of Mr. Dobbins and Mrs. Freeman Was made In response to a call from The Georgian, and there could have been chosen no more fitting place for the little ones to spend the hot month of July. The house In which tho children are staying Is one of the relics of ante bellum days, and Is one of the largest residence structures In this section of the state. It not only affords ample room for the little ones, but has all the anpolntments needed for the comfort of Its little visitors. Although the house has ample room even for the children to play In, little time Is spent Indoors by the tots. The grounds sur- I outing. 1 rounding the hous$ are neted all over the South for their beauty. There are many fine springs running mineral wa ters of different kinds, and these form streams that course through the mead, ows and In which the children spend a greater part of their time wading. A glance at a group of the children soon shows that thty havs been won derfully benefited by the pure air and the healthful waters. Every one of them- haa rosy cheeks and bright eyes, and Matron Oliver reports that there Is not a single case of sickness In her large family. Mrs, Oliver said also that those of the children that were Inclined to be delicate have Improved greatly in strength and are becoming very strong since they esme to the springs.' The children, ranging Iq age from a few months to ten or twelve years, are in charge of MkWon Oliver, who has six assistants to aid her In caring for the little ones Not only do the children seem thor oughly satisfied, but one or two of them resented a suggestion that tha time would soon conic for them to return to Atlanta. Matron Oliver says everything has been done for the comfort of her fami ly and Is very grateful to those who have helped her to give the children GRAND JURY WILL PROBE RELATIONS Chicago, Ills., Aug. 6.—A doseti deputy United States nmrohitls started out today tn summon the sixty tetaftomen from whom the grand Jury which will, on August 14. begin to Inventlgate the relations between the Standard Oil rnmpnny nnd the Chicago find Alton rnllrond, will be selected.

COMER WILL SIGN GREATER CITY BILL FIGURES IN BOMB MYSTER Y AGAIN IN THE LIMELIGHT; FRED BUSH FIRED UPON Again the limelight Is being thrown on two characters that played a prom inent part In Atlanta’ recent dyna mite bomb mystery. Fred Bush, accused, tried and promptly acquitted of sending the In fernal machine to the home of Miss Kathryn McCarthy, and Charles V. Doolittle, the fiance of the young lady to whom the box of concentrated death was sent, are the two, and the two new features have no connection with each other. Just a few hodrs before Charles V. Doolittle was scheduled to appear In the court of Justice of the Peace Blood- worth to answer a charge of,perjury, a would-be assassin fired through tho window of Fred Bush’s room and nar rowly missed killing him. The events which again threw these two young men before the public came in quick succession. The public had almost forgotten the chapter In their lives which was the sensation of th* day tn Atlanta. On Saturday Mr. Doolittle, who Is visiting his fiancee, to whom ho Is soon to be married, was served with a warrant sworn out by Attorney John A. Boykin, chargirig him with perjury. He promptly gave a bond of $300 and the preliminary trial was set for 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. Bush Fired At. On Monday night Fred Bush was In Ills room at 166 Ivy street. lying on the bed reading. In order to get a better light on his paper, he lay with his head at the foot of the bed. To Hits fact he probably owe* his life. Borne one concealed In a space be- twe«n the apartment house where he lives and the one next door sent a bullet crashing through the window- glass Just as the Intended victim was about to rise from the bed. "I heard a noise In the space between the buildings,” he said, "and I thought 1 would turn out the light and Investi gate. The minute I made a move to of a pistol and shattered glass of the window fell on my hands. Then there was the sound of someone running away. That’s all I know about it. reported It to the police and they made nn Investigation but as far os I know they have nmde no success In solving the mystery,” A woman living In the house next door and whose room Is opposite that of Bush, told him shs heard someone talking just bsfore the shot was fired and this shows the would-be assassin was not alone. Bush had the upper window sash pulled completely down so that half the window was entirely open. The bullet went through the glass of both windows and then Imbedded Itself In the wall. Bush Meats Doolittle. Tuesday morning Doolittle met Bush 1 on the street nnd there was a cordial greeting between the two. "What do you mean by trying to shoot me through the window?" laugh ingly asked Bush as the two walked off together down the street. Doolit tle then congratulated him on his es- cape. While Bush has his suspicions, he said he was not prepared to make any accusations, but that he was at work trying to solve the mystery. Doolittle has engaged Attorney A. H. Banker to look after his Interests In | the perjury charge. He says he Is prepaced to show the charge Is ground, lies. Doolittle Is now In business In Jack sonville. Fla., and Bush Is making ar rangements to go In business In At lanta. He says he Is only waiting now to seepre a store.
